About YIT [YTY1V]:
YIT has grown strongly in the 2000s: the company's revenue has more than tripled and operating profit more than doubled.
Housing construction in Russia offers YIT significant growth and profitability potential in the long term. The company has operated in Russia for over 50 years and seen both upturns and downturns. During the last year, YIT has expanded into eight new cities in the Moscow region.
YIT is one of the largest Western construction companies in Russia. The growth in the volume of housing construction is supported by the growing middle class's great need for improved quality of housing, the favourable development of the mortgage market and the increase in the number of households.
In Russia, customers have traditionally purchased their homes unfinished and finished them themselves. Even though individualism is still very important to Russians, our customers increasingly want to buy finished residential units. YIT's reputation as a reliable construction company in Russia improved significantly during the financial crisis, with the company continuing the construction of all of its projects as planned. As proof of good development, the company has won several quality awards in construction in Russia.
YIT celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2012. The company was established in the Grand Duchy of Finland in 1912. Today, YIT is a leading European service company in building systems, construction services and services for industry. Our 26,000 professionals serve customers in 14 countries in the Nordic and Baltic countries, Russia and Central Europe. YIT's vision is to lead the way in creating and maintaining good living environments. In 2011, YIT's revenue was approximately EUR 4.4 billion. YIT's shares are listed on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki. www.yitgroup.com.
