YIT updates its result guidance for 2020: Group adjusted operating profit expected to be approximately EUR 80 million

YIT has updated the fair value of the Mall of Tripla investment following increased market yields caused by the coronavirus pandemic. This change is expected to have a negative impact of EUR 16 million in the company’s fourth quarter earnings. Consequently, YIT updates its result guidance for 2020 and expects its full-year Group adjusted operating profit to be approximately EUR 80 million (2019: EUR 165 million). Earlier YIT expected its full-year Group adjusted operating profit to be in the range of EUR 90-110 million.

Operationally YIT’s fourth quarter developed according to plans. Performance particularly in the Housing Finland and CEE and Housing Russia segments has been good, and the full-year result for both segments is expected to be solid.

YIT will publish its 2020 financial statements bulletin on 3 February 2021.
