YIT'S CAPITAL MARKETS DAY IN LONDON, SEPT. 26, 2007:
YIT CONTINUES TO PURSUE ITS SET TARGETS

YIT Corporation's Board of Directors has confirmed the Group's strategy and
financial targets for the period 2008-2010. The YIT Group's strategic target is
profitable growth. Over the next few years, the Group will bolster its
operations in its current business countries. In addition, the Group will seek
to expand its geographical scope during the strategy period. 

Strategic target levels are unchanged 

The YIT Group's financial target levels were confirmed unchanged for the
2008-2010 strategy period. The targets are: average annual revenue growth of 10
per cent, operating profit of 9 per cent of revenue, return on investment of 22
per cent, equity ratio of 35 per cent and a dividend payout ratio of 40-60 per
cent of earnings after taxes and minority interest. In addition, YIT has set
the target of increasing revenue in Russia by an average of 50 per cent
annually during the 2006-2009 period. 

Bolstering business operations in current business countries

The Building Systems business segment aims to increase its market share in its
whole territory: the Nordic and Baltic countries and Russia. Growth focuses on
the Nordic countries. Service portfolios will be rounded out both organically
and through acquisitions. 

In Construction Services, growth focuses on Russia and increasing the real
estate development projects. Residential development will be increased in
Russia by strengthening YIT's presence in its current business cities and
carrying on with expansion into other Russian cities with populations in excess
of a million. 
 
The strategic focus of the Industrial and Network Services business segment is
maintenance services outsourced by industry in Finland. 

Geographical expansion 

In Construction Services the aim is to expand operations geographically during
the strategy period by setting up joint ventures or through acquisitions. The
aim is to start up residential development in central Eastern Europe, where, as
in Russia, there is a need to improve living conditions. Building Systems will
assess opportunities for enlarging its offerings in Western Europe through
acquisitions. Geographical expansion is geared towards establishing a presence
in growing markets and maintaining a balanced business structure.
