Note 1 relating to NAVTEQ: Nokia completed the acquisition of NAVTEQ
Corporation on July 10, 2008. Accordingly, NAVTEQ's results for the
third quarter 2008 are not directly comparable to those for the third
quarter 2009.
Note 2 relating to non-IFRS results: Non-IFRS results exclude
special items for all periods. In addition, non-IFRS results exclude
intangible asset amortization, other purchase price accounting
related items and inventory value adjustments arising from i) the
formation of Nokia Siemens Networks and ii) all business acquisitions
completed after June 30, 2008. More specific information about the
exclusions from the non-IFRS results may be found in this press
release on pages 3, 14-16 and 18.
Nokia believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide
meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors
regarding Nokia's performance by excluding the above-described items
that may not be indicative of Nokia's business operating results.
These non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed in isolation
or as substitutes to the equivalent IFRS measure(s), but should be
used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measure(s)
in the reported results. A reconciliation of the non-IFRS results to
our reported results for Q3 2009 and Q3 2008 can be found in the
tables on pages 11 and 14-18 of this press release. A reconciliation
of our Q2 2009 non-IFRS results can be found on pages 10 and 13-17 of
our Q2 2009 Interim Report of July 16, 2009.
Note 3: Nokia reported net sales were EUR 28 996 million and
earnings per share (diluted) were EUR -0.02 for the period from
January 1 to September 30, 2009. Further information about the
results for the period from January 1 to September 30, 2009 can be
found in this press release on pages 10, 12, 19-20 and 22.
THIRD QUARTER 2009 HIGHLIGHTS
- Nokia net sales of EUR 9.8 billion, down 20% year on year and down
1% sequentially (down 19% and flat at constant currency).
- Devices & Services net sales of EUR 6.9 billion, down 20% year on
year and up 5% sequentially (down 20% and up 6% at constant
currency), and non-IFRS operating margin of 11.4% (18.6% in Q3 2008
and 12.2% in Q2 2009).
- Devices & Services gross margin of 30.9%, down from 34.0% in Q2
2009.
- Services net sales of EUR 148 million (billings of EUR 172
million). Due to the divestment of the security appliance business in
April 2009, services net sales are not directly comparable to prior
periods.
- Estimated industry mobile device volumes of 288 million units, down
7% year on year and up 7% sequentially.
- Nokia mobile device volumes of 108.5 million units, down 8% year on
year and up 5% sequentially.
- Nokia estimated mobile device market share of 38% in Q3 2009, at
the same level as in Q3 2008 and in Q2 2009.
- Nokia mobile device ASP of EUR 62, at the same level as in Q2 2009.
- NAVTEQ non-IFRS net sales of EUR 166 million, up 6% year on year
and up 12% sequentially, and non-IFRS operating margin of 25.9%
(18.5% in Q3 2008).
- Nokia Siemens Networks net sales of EUR 2.8 billion, down 21% year
on year and down 14% sequentially (down 20% and down 14% at constant
currency), and non-IFRS operating margin of -1.9% (5.1% in Q3 2008).
- Nokia operating cash flow of EUR 720 million.
- Total cash and other liquid assets of EUR 7.4 billion at the end of
Q3 2009.
- Nokia taxes were favorably impacted by country profit mix as well
as prior year tax benefits. If Nokia's estimated long-term tax rate
of 26% had been applied, non-IFRS EPS would have been approximately 2
Euro cents lower.
OLLI-PEKKA KALLASVUO, NOKIA CEO:
"The demand for mobile devices improved in many markets during Q3.
With the average selling price of our devices holding firm
quarter-on-quarter, our higher device volumes translated into
increased net sales in our Devices & Services business. Our volumes
and net sales were, however, somewhat constrained by component
shortages we encountered across the portfolio. I also want to
highlight the good operating expense management that helped the
segment deliver solid earnings.
The challenging competitive factors and market conditions in the
infrastructure and related services business necessitated non-cash
impairment charges at Nokia Siemens Networks. We continue to support
Nokia Siemens Networks actions to improve its performance."
INDUSTRY AND NOKIA OUTLOOK
- Nokia expects industry mobile device volumes in the fourth quarter
2009 to be up sequentially.
- Nokia expects its mobile device market share in the fourth quarter
2009 to be approximately at the same level sequentially.
- Nokia expects industry mobile device volumes to be approximately
1.12 billion units in 2009, down approximately 7% from approximately
1.21 billion units Nokia estimated for 2008. This is an update to
Nokia's earlier estimate of industry mobile device volumes declining
approximately 10% in 2009 from 2008 levels.
- Nokia expects its non-IFRS operating margin in Devices & Services
in the fourth quarter 2009 to be up by one percentage point or more
sequentially.
- Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks now expect the mobile
infrastructure and fixed infrastructure and related services market
to decline approximately 5% in Euro terms in 2009, from 2008 levels.
This is an update to Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks earlier
expected decline of approximately 10%.
- Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks also now expect that Nokia Siemens
Networks market share will decline by more than previously expected
in 2009, compared with 2008. This is an update to Nokia and Nokia
Siemens Networks earlier expected moderate decline. Nokia and Nokia
Siemens Networks continue to see strong performance in its Services
business unit expected to be offset by declines in certain product
businesses.

billion, compared with EUR 12.2 billion in the third quarter 2008. At
constant currency, Group net sales would have decreased 19% year on
year.

Nokia's third quarter 2009 reported operating loss was EUR 426
million, compared with an operating profit of EUR 1.5 billion in the
third quarter 2008. Nokia's third quarter 2009 non-IFRS operating
profit decreased 58% to EUR 741 million, compared with EUR 1.8
billion in the third quarter 2008. Nokia's third quarter 2009
reported operating margin was -4.3% (12.0%). Nokia's third quarter
2009 non-IFRS operating margin was 7.6% (14.3%).
Operating cash flow for the third quarter 2009 was EUR 720 million,
compared with EUR 1.3 billion in the third quarter 2008. Total cash
and other liquid assets were EUR 7.4 billion at September 30, 2009,
compared with EUR 7.2 billion at September 30, 2008. At September 30,
2009, Nokia's net debt-equity ratio (gearing) was -15%, compared with
-18% at September 30, 2008.
Devices & Services
In the third quarter 2009, the total mobile device volumes of our
Devices & Services group were 108.5 million units, representing a
decline of 8% year on year and a 5% increase sequentially. The
overall industry mobile device volumes for the same period were 288
million units based on Nokia's preliminary estimate, representing a
7% year on year decrease and a 7% sequential increase. The lower
device volumes year on year for Nokia and the industry continued to
be driven by the negative impact of the deteriorated global economic
conditions. The sequential industry device volume increase primarily
reflected an improved demand environment for mobile devices. In
addition, Nokia's device volumes for the third quarter 2009 were
somewhat constrained by component shortages across the portfolio,
which are expected to continue to some degree in the fourth quarter
2009.
Of the total industry mobile device volumes, converged mobile device
industry volumes in the third quarter 2009 were 47.0 million units,
based on Nokia's preliminary estimate, compared with an estimated
44.2 million units in the third quarter 2008 and 41.0 million units
in the second quarter 2009. Our own converged mobile device volumes
were 16.4 million units in the third quarter 2009, compared with 15.5
million units in the third quarter 2008 and 16.9 million units in the
second quarter 2009. Nokia's share of the converged mobile device
market was an estimated 35% in the third quarter 2009, at the same
level as in the third quarter 2008 and down from 41% in the second
quarter 2009. We shipped 4.5 million Nokia Nseries and 4.4 million
Nokia Eseries devices during the third quarter 2009, down from the
combined 9.3 million Nseries and Eseries devices we shipped in the
second quarter 2009.
The following chart sets out our mobile device volumes for the
periods indicated, as well as the year on year and sequential growth
rates, by geographic area.

Based on our preliminary market estimate, Nokia's mobile device
market share for the third quarter 2009 was 38%, compared with 38% in
the third quarter 2008 and in the second quarter 2009. Our year on
year market share was higher in Europe, Latin America and Middle East
& Africa. This was offset by lower market share in Greater China,
Asia-Pacific and North America. Sequentially, our market share
declined in Greater China, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa and
North America, but was offset by our increased market share in Europe
and Latin America.
Our mobile device average selling price (ASP) in the third quarter
2009 was EUR 62, down from EUR 72 in the third quarter 2008 and at
the same level as in the second quarter 2009. The year on year
decline was primarily due to a higher proportion of sales of lower
priced products as well as general price pressure. Sequentially, our
ASP benefited from new product shipments, offset however by general
price pressure.
Third quarter 2009 Devices & Services net sales declined 20% to EUR
6.9 billion, compared with EUR 8.6 billion in the third quarter 2008.
Devices & Services net sales were down year on year in all geographic
areas. At constant currency, Devices & Services net sales would have
decreased 20%. The net sales decline resulted primarily from lower
volumes, combined with the ASP decline, compared with the third
quarter 2008. Of our total Devices & Services net sales, services
contributed EUR 148 million in the third quarter 2009, representing
29% year on year growth and a 6% sequential growth. Nokia completed
the divestment of its security appliances business in April 2009 and
accordingly services net sales for the third and second quarter 2009
as well as for the prior periods are not directly comparable.
Beginning with the third quarter 2009, we are providing additional
sequential comparative information for our Devices & Services
business to reflect our product and solutions mode of operation and
performance. We are now providing total net sales for Devices &
Services divided into (i) net sales from smartphones and mobile
computer solutions; that is, net sales of converged mobile devices,
including the services and accessories sold with them, and (ii) net
sales from mobile phones and embedded services; that is, net sales of
Series 30 and Series 40-powered devices, including the services and
accessories sold with them. We are also providing ASPs for each of
these two categories of sales. Net sales from smartphones and mobile
computer solutions totaled EUR 3.1 billion in the third quarter 2009,
at the same level as in the second quarter 2009. The ASP for
smartphones and mobile computer solutions was EUR 190, up from EUR
182 in the second quarter 2009. Net sales from mobile phones and
embedded services totaled EUR 3.8 billion in the third quarter 2009,
compared with EUR 3.5 billion in the second quarter 2009. The ASP for
mobile phones and embedded services was EUR 41, at the same level as
in the second quarter 2009.
Devices & Services reported gross profit and non-IFRS gross profit
decreased 32% to EUR 2.1 billion, compared with EUR 3.1 billion in
the third quarter 2008, with a reported and non-IFRS gross margin of
30.9% (36.5%). The year on year gross margin decrease was primarily
due to higher cost of sales driven by a stronger Japanese Yen, as
well as general price pressure.
During the third quarter 2009, Devices & Services reported operating
profit decreased 51% to EUR 785 million, compared with EUR 1.6
billion in the third quarter 2008, with a reported operating margin
of 11.4% (18.6%). Devices & Services non-IFRS operating profit
decreased 51% to EUR 787 million, compared with EUR 1.6 billion in
the third quarter 2008, with a non-IFRS operating margin of 11.4%
(18.6%). The year on year decrease in non-IFRS operating profit for
the third quarter 2009 was due primarily to lower net sales and
higher cost of sales compared with the third quarter 2008. These
factors were somewhat mitigated by a reduction in our operating
expenses, compared to the third quarter 2008.
NAVTEQ
(Nokia completed the acquisition of NAVTEQ Corporation on July 10,
2008. Accordingly, NAVTEQ's results for the third quarter 2008 are
not directly comparable to those for the third quarter 2009.)
Third quarter 2009 NAVTEQ net sales increased 6% to EUR 166 million,
compared with EUR 156 million in the third quarter 2008. NAVTEQ
reported gross profit was EUR 146 million (EUR 138 million), with a
reported gross margin of 88.0% (88.5%). Non-IFRS gross profit was EUR
146 million (EUR 139 million), with a non-IFRS gross margin of 88.0%
(88.5%). NAVTEQ had a reported operating loss of EUR 68 million (EUR
80 million loss). The reported operating margin was -41.0% (-51.3%).
NAVTEQ non-IFRS operating profit was EUR 43 million (EUR 29 million),
with a non-IFRS operating margin of 25.9% (18.5%).
When Nokia assessed goodwill for impairment on its annual impairment
testing date in the fourth quarter 2008, Nokia concluded that a
reasonably possible change of 1% in the valuation assumptions for
long-term growth rate and pre-tax discount rate would give rise to an
impairment loss for NAVTEQ. Nokia conducted a review and update of
the assumptions used in the 2008 annual impairment testing analysis
and performed a sensitivity analysis on these assumptions to assess
the recoverability of NAVTEQ. This assessment resulted in no
indication of impairment for NAVTEQ. However, Nokia has once again
concluded that a reasonably possible change of 1% in the valuation
assumptions for long-term growth rate and pre-tax discount rate would
give rise to an impairment loss for NAVTEQ. Nokia continues to
evaluate the financial performance and future strategies of NAVTEQ as
well as market and economic conditions to assess the recoverability
of NAVTEQ's carrying amount. Nokia will conduct its annual goodwill
impairment testing in the fourth quarter 2009.
Nokia Siemens Networks
Third quarter 2009 net sales decreased 21% to EUR 2.8 billion,
compared with EUR 3.5 billion in the third quarter 2008, reflecting
challenging competitive factors and market conditions. At constant
currency, Nokia Siemens Networks net sales would have decreased 20%.
Of total Nokia Siemens Networks net sales, services contributed EUR
1.3 billion.
The following chart sets out Nokia Siemens Networks net sales for the
periods indicated, as well as the year on year and sequential growth
rates, by geographic area.

million, compared with EUR 1.1 billion in the third quarter 2008,
with a reported gross margin of 28.2% (30.8%). Nokia Siemens Networks
non-IFRS gross profit decreased 27% to EUR 794 million, compared with
EUR 1.1 billion in the third quarter
2008, with a non-IFRS gross margin of 28.8% (31.2%). The lower year
on year non-IFRS gross profit in the third quarter 2009 was due
primarily to lower year on year net sales.
Nokia Siemens Networks had a third quarter 2009 reported operating
loss of EUR 1 107 million, compared with an operating loss of EUR 1
million in the third quarter 2008, with an operating margin of -40.1%
(0.0%). The operating loss in the third quarter 2009 was primarily
driven by the EUR 908 million impairment of goodwill. Nokia Siemens
Networks non-IFRS operating loss was EUR 53 million in the third
quarter 2009, compared with a non-IFRS operating profit of EUR 177
million in the third quarter 2008, with a non-IFRS operating margin
of -1.9% (5.1%). The year on year decline in Nokia Siemens Networks
non-IFRS operating profit primarily reflected lower net sales.
Nokia recorded a charge to operating profit in the third quarter 2009
of EUR 908 million for the impairment of goodwill in Nokia Siemens
Networks. After the impairment charge Nokia no longer carries any
goodwill with regard to Nokia Siemens Networks. An additional charge
of EUR 432 million was recorded to tax expense to provide a valuation
allowance on Nokia Siemens Networks' deferred tax assets. The net
impact of the asset impairment charges after minority interest
totaled EUR 1 072 million, negatively impacting reported EPS by EUR
0.29.
The recoverability of the investment in Nokia Siemens Networks has
declined as a result of the decline in forecasted profits and cash
flows. The asset impairment charges are the result of an evaluation
of the historical and projected financial performance of Nokia
Siemens Networks, taking into consideration the challenging
competitive factors and market conditions in the infrastructure and
related services business, which have resulted in lower net sales
projections and which, in turn, have reduced the projected scale and
thus negatively impacted projected margins and profitability.
The recognition of a valuation allowance does not impact the validity
of the deferred tax assets and Nokia Siemens Networks retains the
possibility of recovering these assets if sufficient future taxable
profits become available.
