YIT publishes ifrs comparative information for continuing operations

  

YIT PUBLISHES IFRS COMPARATIVE INFORMATION FOR CONTINUING OPERATIONS

 

The Extraordinary General Meeting of YIT Corporation, held on June 17, 2013, has approved the demerger of YIT. The planned registration date for the demerger is June 30, 2013.  The shares of Caverion Corporation have been applied for public trading from July 1, 2013 onwards on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd.

 

The IFRS comparative information for YIT’s continuing operations for 2012 and the first quarter of 2013

 

YIT’s continuing operations consist of the Group’s Construction Services business. The comparative information presented in this release will be shown as corresponding figures in YIT’s future interim reports and financial statements. The IFRS comparative information differs from the non-IFRS information for YIT’s continuing operations published on May 21, 2013.

 

The comparative information shall furthermore consider the demerger to take place on the demerger’s implementation date (estimate June 30, 2013). Until then, the occurrences of YIT’s Building Services business to be transferred to Caverion Corporation are disclosed as a separate line item under discontinued operations in YIT’s income and cash flow statement. The balance sheet is not adjusted in the official comparative information compliant with IFRS; rather, it will also include the items associated with the Building Services business, thus corresponding to the previously reported balance sheet of YIT Corporation. Due to this, the balance sheet disclosed as comparative information does not, in this respect, illustrate the financial position of the continuing operations.

 

Accounting method applied to comparative information

 

The IFRS comparative information disclosed in this release has been drawn up in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard adopted in the European Union. The share belonging to the Building Services business is shown under discontinued operations in the income statement and cash flow statement. Expences and income related to assets and liabilities transferred to Caverion Corporation have been allocated to discontinued operations in the income statement. Balance sheet reference periods prior to the demerger include in accordance with IFRS 5, the assets and liabilities related to the Building Services business to be transferred to Caverion Corporation in connection with the implementation of the demerger. As such, the balance sheet does not illustrate the financial position of the continuing operations. Accordingly, this release does not show key figures calculated on the basis of the balance sheet.

 

The information in this release is unaudited.
