Nokia Corporation Financial Report for Q2 and Half Year 2017

Strong results in Nokia Technologies and solid performance in Nokia’s Networks business

This is a summary of the Nokia Corporation financial report for Q2 and half year 2017 published today. The complete financial report for Q2 and half year 2017 with tables is available at www.nokia.com/financials. Investors should not rely on summaries of our financial reports only, but should review the complete reports with tables.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

• Non-IFRS net sales in Q2 2017 of EUR 5.6bn (EUR 5.7bn in Q2 2016). Reported net sales in Q2 2017 of EUR 5.6bn (EUR 5.6bn in Q2 2016).
• Non-IFRS diluted EPS in Q2 2017 of EUR 0.08 (EUR 0.03 in Q2 2016). Reported diluted EPS in Q2 2017 of negative EUR 0.07 (negative EUR 0.12 in Q2 2016).

Nokia’s Networks business

• 5% year-on-year net sales decrease in Q2 2017, primarily due to Ultra Broadband Networks. Within Ultra Broadband Networks, Mobile Networks declined in Q2 following a strong Q1, while Fixed Networks declined at a lower rate in Q2 compared to Q1. Within IP Networks and Applications, IP/Optical Networks declined at a lower rate in Q2 compared to Q1, and Applications & Analytics grew. Global Services net sales were approximately flat.
• Strong Q2 2017 gross margin of 39.1% and operating margin of 8.2%, with solid performance across Ultra Broadband Networks, Global Services and IP Networks and Applications.

Nokia Technologies

• 90% year-on-year net sales increase in Q2 2017, primarily due to a new license agreement in Q2 2017 and a license agreement that was expanded in Q3 2016. Approximately 40% of the EUR 175 million year-on-year increase was non-recurring in nature and related to catch-up net sales for Q1 2017.
• 158% year-on-year operating profit increase in Q2 2017, primarily related to higher net sales, partially offset by increased licensing-related litigation costs and the ramp-up of our digital health business unit.

Changes in reporting structure, effective from April 1, 2017

On March 17, 2017, Nokia announced changes in its organizational structure designed to accelerate the execution of its strategy, including strengthening Nokia’s ability to deliver strong financial performance, drive growth in services, meet changing customer demands in mobile networks, achieve cost savings and ongoing transformation goals, and enable strategic innovation across Nokia’s Networks business. These organizational changes included the separation of Nokia’s former Mobile Networks business group into two distinct organizations: one focused on products and solutions, called Mobile Networks, and the other on services, called Global Services.

As a result of these changes, Nokia has changed its financial reporting structure for its Networks business. As of the second quarter 2017, Nokia’s Networks business is comprised of three reportable segments and five business groups.

1. Ultra Broadband Networks, comprised of the Mobile Networks and Fixed Networks business groups.
   • The Mobile Networks business group is comprised of the products and solutions that resided within the previous Mobile Networks business group. As a result of the organization change, services no longer reside under Mobile Networks. The Mobile Networks business group provides radio networks, converged core networks and advanced mobile networks solutions (see note 3, “Segment information”, in the Financial statement information sections in this report for additional details).
   • The Fixed Networks business group provides broadband access, digital home, access management solutions and Fixed Networks services (see note 3, “Segment information”, in the Financial statement information sections in this report for additional details).
2. Global Services, comprised of the Global Services business group.
   • The Global Services business group is comprised of the services that resided within the previous Mobile Networks business group, including company-wide managed services. Global Services does not include the services of Fixed Networks, IP/Optical Networks and Applications & Analytics, which continue to reside within the respective business groups. The Global Services business group provides network planning and optimization, network implementation, system integration, company-wide managed services and care (see note 3, “Segment information”, in the Financial statement information sections in this report for additional details).
3. IP Networks and Applications, comprised of the IP/Optical Networks and Applications & Analytics business groups.
   • The IP/Optical Networks business group provides IP routing, optics and IP/Optical Networks services (see note 3, “Segment information”, in the Financial statement information sections in this report for additional details).
   • The Applications & Analytics business group provides intelligent software and services that help service providers build strong digital businesses including business support systems, operational support systems, service delivery platforms, network management, emerging businesses, as well as the software and services offerings from the Comptel acquisition (see note 3, “Segment information”, in the Financial statement information sections in this report for additional details).

Non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information regarding underlying business performance

In addition to information on our reported IFRS results, we provide certain information on a non-IFRS, or underlying business performance, basis. We believe that our non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokia’s underlying business performance by excluding the below-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.

Non-IFRS results exclude costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. The non-IFRS exclusions are not allocated to the segments, and hence they are reported only at the Nokia consolidated level.

Financial discussion

The financial discussion included in this financial report of Nokia’s results comprises the results of Nokia’s businesses – Nokia’s Networks business and Nokia Technologies, as well as Group Common and Other. For more information on our reportable segments, please refer to note 3, “Segment information”, in the Financial statement information section in this report.

CEO STATEMENT

I am proud of the entire Nokia team for delivering strong profitability in the second quarter and group-level net sales that were close to flat year-on-year. Underpinning this result was the excellent performance of Nokia Technologies, as well as robust gross margins and continued topline improvement in Networks. With the good work in the quarter, I remain confident that we will deliver on our full-year guidance of an operating margin of 8-10% in our Networks business.

Additionally, we made further progress in executing on the four pillars of our strategy in the second quarter. In terms of the first pillar, leading in high-performance, end-to-end networks with communication service providers, we saw year-on-year growth in orders in the first half of the year; continued to win the majority of deals we pursued; and landed more large contracts in the first half than we did during the same time period in 2016. Cross-selling also continues to generate new opportunities for us, with several important wins in the quarter, such as our contract to build three Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing networks for M1 in Singapore.

For the second pillar, expanding sales to new vertical markets, our work is gaining further traction in terms of orders, customers and technology. We saw double-digit growth in orders in most of the verticals we are targeting, and added new customers at a significantly faster rate than one year ago. And, we launched new IP routing products that will put us in a strong competitive position with both our traditional customer base and our new target markets when the products are available at scale next year. The early response from customers to these new products has been excellent, with companies like BT Group and Xiaomi already expressing their intent to purchase.

We are starting to see the results of the extensive work we have done in the third pillar of our strategy, building a strong, stand-alone software business at scale. Q2 sales in our Applications & Analytics business group were up comfortably year-on-year and order momentum was strong.

In the fourth pillar of our strategy, creating new business and licensing opportunities in the consumer ecosystem, the licensing and business partnership agreement that we reached with Apple in the quarter was a clear highlight. You could see the benefit of that agreement in Nokia Technologies’ results, and we look forward to continuing to expand our overall business with Apple in the coming months. We also closed a licensing deal with Xiaomi, a milestone win with a Chinese smartphone vendor, setting the stage for us to engage further with other vendors in the country.

Finally, we expect our primary addressable market with communication service providers to be slightly more challenging in 2017 than earlier forecast. We now expect a decline in the market in the range of 3-5%, versus our earlier view of a low-single digit decline. In addition, we continue to expect our Networks sales to perform in line with the market.

Despite these headwinds, I believe Nokia’s disciplined operating model puts us in a strong position to succeed in conditions of all kinds and continue to deliver solid shareholder value. In addition, we are seeing catalysts in the United States, China and Japan that point to an acceleration of 5G and the commencement of meaningful roll-outs in 2019.

In summary, a good second quarter, some challenges ahead this year, but also reasons to be optimistic about Nokia’s ability to deliver.

NOKIA IN Q2 2017 – NON-IFRS

Non-IFRS net sales and non-IFRS operating profit

Nokia non-IFRS net sales decreased 1% year-on-year and increased 4% sequentially. On a constant currency basis, Nokia non-IFRS net sales would have decreased 2% year-on-year and increased 7% sequentially.

Year-on-year changes

On a year-on-year basis, Nokia’s non-IFRS gross profit, non-IFRS other income and expense and non-IFRS operating profit benefitted from the absence of an adverse effect related to a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery in Q2 2016.

Sequential changes

Non-IFRS profit attributable to the equity holders of the parent

Year-on-year changes

Nokia’s regional profit mix in the second quarter 2017 resulted in an unusually low non-IFRS tax rate of 14%. The net negative fluctuation in financial income and expenses was primarily related to foreign exchange fluctuations and lower interest income.

Sequential changes

On a sequential basis, Nokia’s regional profit mix remained similar to the first quarter 2017 and resulted in an unusually low non-IFRS tax rate of 14%. The net positive fluctuation in financial income and expenses was primarily related to gains from venture fund distributions.

NOKIA IN Q2 2017 – REPORTED

FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

Net sales

Nokia net sales increased 1% year-on-year and 4% sequentially. On a constant currency basis, Nokia net sales would have been approximately flat year-on-year and would have increased 7% sequentially.

Year-on-year discussion

The year-on-year increase in net sales in the second quarter 2017 was primarily due to Nokia Technologies, lower non-IFRS exclusions related to deferred revenue and higher net sales in Group Common and Other, partially offset by Nokia’s Networks business.

Sequential discussion

The sequential increase in Nokia net sales in the second quarter 2017 was primarily due to Nokia Technologies, Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other.

Operating profit

Year-on-year discussion

In the second quarter 2017, the decrease in operating loss was primarily due to a net positive fluctuation in other income and expenses, higher gross profit and, to a lesser extent, lower research and development (“R&D”) and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. On a year-on-year basis, second quarter 2017 results benefitted from the absence of an adverse effect related to a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery in the second quarter 2016.

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to Nokia Technologies and lower non-IFRS exclusions related to deferred revenue. This was partially offset by lower gross profit in Nokia’s Networks business.

The decrease in R&D expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, partially offset by higher non-IFRS exclusions related to intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items and product portfolio strategy costs.

The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to Group Common and Other and Nokia’s Networks business, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses in Nokia Technologies.

Nokia’s other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 162 million in the second quarter 2017, compared to an expense of EUR 636 million in the year-ago period. The net positive fluctuation was primarily related to lower non-IFRS exclusions attributable to lower restructuring and associated charges and, to a lesser extent, Nokia’s Networks business. On a year-on-year basis, second quarter 2017 results benefitted from the absence of an adverse effect related to a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery in the second quarter 2016.

Sequential discussion

In the second quarter 2017, the decrease in operating loss was primarily due to higher gross profit and lower R&D and SG&A expenses, partially offset by a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses.

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to Nokia Technologies and, to a lesser extent, Group Common and Other and Nokia’s Networks business. This was partially offset by higher non-IFRS exclusions related to product portfolio strategy costs.

The decrease in R&D expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business and, to a lesser extent, lower non-IFRS exclusions related to lower product portfolio strategy costs and lower R&D expenses in Group Common and Other.

The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business and Nokia Technologies, partially offset by higher non-IFRS exclusions related to transaction and integration costs.

Nokia’s other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 162 million in the second quarter 2017, compared to an expense of EUR 69 million in the first quarter 2017. The net negative fluctuation was primarily due to higher restructuring and associated charges, higher product portfolio strategy costs and Nokia Technologies. This was partially offset by Nokia’s Networks business.

Profit/(Loss) attributable to the equity holders of the parent

Year-on-year discussion

In the second quarter 2017, the decrease in loss attributable to the equity holders of the parent was primarily due to lower operating loss, partially offset by higher taxes and a net negative fluctuation in financial income and expenses.

The net negative fluctuation in financial income and expenses was primarily due to non-IFRS exclusions related to Nokia’s tender offer to purchase 6.50% notes due January 15, 2028, the 6.45% notes due March 15, 2029 and the 5.375% notes due May 15, 2019. The purpose of these transactions was to optimize Nokia’s debt maturity profile, to lower average interest expense run rate and to eliminate subsidiary level external debt. In addition, the second quarter 2017 was negatively affected by foreign exchange fluctuations and lower interest income.

The change in taxes from a benefit in the second quarter 2016 to an expense in the second quarter 2017 was primarily due to a non-recurring change to uncertain tax positions and a non-recurring tax expense related to deferred tax valuation allowance. In the second quarter 2017, Nokia recorded a EUR 206 million tax expense related to an uncertain tax position in Germany. The matter relates to the disposal of the former Alcatel Lucent railway signaling business in 2006 to Thales (see note 12, “Income Taxes” of our Annual Report for 2016). Based on new facts and circumstances, management has reassessed the probability of having to pay the taxes and concluded that recognition of an uncertain tax position was warranted at the end of the second quarter 2017.

Sequential discussion

In the second quarter 2017, the decrease in loss attributable to the equity holders of the parent was primarily due to lower operating loss and a net positive fluctuation in non-controlling interests, partially offset by a net negative fluctuation in financial income and expenses and higher taxes.

The net negative fluctuation in financial income and expenses was primarily due to higher non-IFRS exclusions related to Nokia’s tender offer to purchase the 6.50% notes due January 15, 2028, the 6.45% notes due March 15, 2029 and the 5.375% notes due May 15, 2019. The purpose of these transactions was to optimize Nokia’s debt maturity profile, to lower average interest expense run rate and to eliminate subsidiary level external debt. This was partially offset by gains related to venture fund investments.

The higher taxes were primarily due to a non-recurring change to uncertain tax positions and a non-recurring tax expense related to deferred tax valuation allowance, partially offset by the absence of a non-recurring tax expense related to the integration of the former Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia operating models. In the second quarter 2017, Nokia recorded a EUR 206 million tax expense related to an uncertain tax position in Germany. The matter relates to the disposal of the former Alcatel Lucent railway signaling business in 2006 to Thales (see note 12, “Income Taxes” of our Annual Report for 2016). Based on new facts and circumstances, management has reassessed the probability of having to pay the taxes and concluded that recognition of an uncertain tax position was warranted at the end of the second quarter 2017.

The net positive fluctuation in non-controlling interests was primarily related to the absence of a non-recurring income in a partly-owned subsidiary in the first quarter 2017.

Description of non-IFRS exclusions in Q2 2017

Non-IFRS exclusions consist of costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. For additional details, please refer to note 2, “Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation”, in the Financial statement information section in this report.

Non-IFRS exclusions in net sales

In the second quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in net sales amounted to EUR 11 million, and related to a purchase price allocation adjustment related to a reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.

Non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit

In the second quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit amounted to EUR 620 million, and were primarily due to non-IFRS exclusions that negatively affected gross profit, R&D, SG&A and other income and expenses as follows:

In the second quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in gross profit amounted to EUR 114 million, and were primarily due to product portfolio strategy costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, and the deferred revenue.

In the second quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in R&D expenses amounted to EUR 173 million, and were primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and, to a lesser extent, product portfolio strategy costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

In the second quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in SG&A expenses amounted to EUR 151 million, and were primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and integration and transaction related costs.

In the second quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in other income and expenses amounted to EUR 182 million, and were primarily due to restructuring and associated charges for Nokia’s cost reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives and, to a lesser extent, product portfolio strategy costs.

Non-IFRS exclusions in profit/(loss) attributable to the equity holders of the parent

In the second quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in profit/(loss) attributable to the equity holders of the parent amounted to EUR 873 million, and were primarily due to the non-IFRS exclusions affecting operating profit, in addition to non-IFRS exclusions that negatively affected financial income and expenses and taxes as follows:

In the second quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in financial income and expenses amounted to EUR 156 million, and related to Nokia’s tender offer to purchase the 6.50% notes due January 15, 2028, the 6.45% notes due March 15, 2029 and the 5.375% notes due May 15, 2019.

In the second quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in taxes amounted to EUR 98 million, and were primarily due to a non-recurring change to uncertain tax positions and a non-recurring tax expense related to deferred tax valuation allowance. This was partially offset by a tax benefit of EUR 184 million related to non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit and financial income and expenses.

Cost savings program

The following table summarizes the financial information related to our cost savings program, as of the end of the second quarter 2017. Balances related to previous Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent restructuring and cost savings programs have been included as part of this overall cost savings program as of the second quarter 2016.

The following table summarizes our full year 2016 results and future expectations related to our cost savings program and network equipment swaps.

In full year 2016, the actual total cost savings benefitted from lower incentive accruals, related to the financial performance in full year 2016. Lower incentive accruals drove more than half of the higher than previously expected decrease in total costs in 2016, and this is expected to reverse in 2017, assuming full year 2017 financial performance in-line with our expectations. On a cumulative basis, Nokia continues to be on track to achieve the targeted EUR 1.2 billion of total cost savings in full year 2018.
