LEMMINKÄINEN CORPORATION STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 30 JULY 2014 AT 2:30 P.M.
COMPARISON FIGURES FOR 2013, ACCORDING TO LEMMINKÄINEN'S NEW SEGMENT DIVISION
Lemminkäinen announced on 30 July 2014 that it has reviewed its strategy and sharpens its strategic focus after the divestment of Technical building services. The company also announced that it will renew its reporting structure. Until 1 August 2014, Lemminkäinen's business is organised in five business segments: Finland, Building construction; Finland and the Baltic countries, Infrastructure construction; Finland, Technical building services; Russia and Scandinavia.
The new reporting structure supports the implementation of the company’s strategy as it creates more focused management for the whole infrastructure construction, which will increase the opportunities to improve operational efficiency and to share best practices across borders. In the long term, the company seeks profitable growth by leveraging its strong market position in the infrastructure construction in Northern Europe. The company estimates that the outlook for infrastructure construction is good especially in Norway and Sweden. In building construction in Finland and Russia, where the market outlook continues to be uncertain, Lemminkäinen is focusing its operations on profitable customer segments and areas.
As of 1 August 2014, Lemminkäinen's business operations are organised into three business segments:
- Infrastructure construction
- Finland, Building construction
- Russian operations
The interim report for January-September 2014 will be based on the new reporting structure. The previous Scandinavia business segment will be integrated into the Infrastructure construction segment. The building construction business in Sweden will be reported under Infrastructure construction. Russian operations will include both building construction and infrastructure construction activities.
In addition, the company will change its accounting principles for segment reporting as of 1 August 2014. According to the changed accounting principle, only continuing operations are included in the segment reporting income statement figures. As a consequence, income statement items in the company’s segment reporting will comply with the consolidated financial statement’s accounting principles. The comparison periods' figures have been adjusted to comply with the new accounting principle.
Comparison figures based on the new segment division and adjusted with the changed accounting principle for January - June 2014 and for the year 2013 are presented in the following tables:
