YIT'S COMPARABLE FIGURES FOR 2010 IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NEW BUSINESS SEGMENT STRUCTURE

YIT Group's business segment structure was revised as of the beginning of March 2010 with Building and Industrial Services Business segment being divided into two segments; Building Services Northern Europe and Building Services Central Europe. As of March 1, 2011, YIT’s four business segments are Building Services Northern Europe, Building Services Central Europe, Construction Services Finland and International Construction Services.

YIT is changed its business segment structure due to the growth of building service business operations in Central Europe, their increased share of the Group’s revenue and the significant business development and profitability potential that these operations offer to YIT. YIT's aims to be the leading provider of technical system maintenance and a forerunner in energy-saving services in the Nordic countries and Central Europe. YIT seeks growth by strengthening its local market position and through geographical expansion to new countries. The Group’s potential new market areas in the area of building services are the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Belgium.

Below is presented a summary of YIT's comparable figures for 2010 accordingly to the new business segment structure.
