If you wish to become a direct and registered shareholder of the Company and attend the Meeting in person, please:

If you wish to authorize your own representative to attend the Meeting in person on your behalf, you must, in addition to following the requirements set forth above, issue a dated and signed proxy to him/her. The proxy should be received at the Register of Shareholders of the Company no later than March 24, 2006, as indicated in the Company's Notice of Annual General Meeting on pages 10-13 of this booklet.

According to Finnish law, a shareholder must be recorded on the Register of Shareholders of the Company ten days prior to the Meeting, i.e, on the Finnish Record Date of March 20, 2006, in order to be entitled to vote at the Meeting.

6

Brokers, custodians or other agents fulfilling these requirements should also fill in the "Agent Authorization Form" provided to them separately.

How do I vote for the election of the members of the Board of Directors?

You can (i) vote "FOR" the election of all nominees, (ii) "WITHHOLD" your vote from all nominees; or (iii) WITHHOLD your vote from certain nominees. In the event that you wish to vote for some but not all the nominees, simply insert the number corresponding to the nominee(s) for whom you intend to withhold your vote in the space provided on the Voting Card.

Is it possible to receive proxy materials over the Internet?

Yes. Nokia is capable of providing you with all mailings of Nokia shareholder documents (such as disclosure documents, proxy material, etc.) in a timely manner as well as, convenient and cost-effective over the Internet. Please see the enclosed leaflet "Delivery of Shareholder Documents via the Internet" with respect to instructions on receiving the documents over the Internet.

"Householding" of shareholder documents

In December 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted a rule allowing companies to send a single set of shareholder documents, such as proxy materials, information statements or other disclosure documents to any household at which two or more ADR Holders reside. This process is commonly referred to as "householding". The shareholder documents that are affected by the SEC rule are: Annual Reports, proxy materials, information statements or other disclosure documents. The rule does not apply to the proxy card. Each registered ADR holder will continue to receive a separate proxy card.

Householding will not only reduce the volume of duplicate information received at your household, but it will also help Nokia to reduce its operating expenses. For these reasons, Nokia is taking advantage of the rule.

A number of custodians, brokers and other agents with account holders who are Nokia ADR Holders will be "householding", i.e. sending a single set of proxy materials to multiple ADR Holders sharing an address, unless contrary instructions have been received from an affected ADR Holder. Once you have received notice from your custodian, broker, other agent or the Company that they will be "householding" shareholder documents, "householding" will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent.

This year, Nokia will be "householding", i.e. sending a single set of proxy materials to multiple ADR Holders sharing an address who held Nokia ADRs on February 6, 2006, unless contrary instructions have been received from an affected ADR Holder. If you did not respond to last year's notice of Nokia's intention to "household" shareholder documents, "householding" will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent.

Questions and Answers on the Notice and Agenda of the Annual General Meeting

What does "Presentation of the Annual Accounts" under item 1 mean?

The Annual Accounts comprise the Nokia Corporation income statement, balance sheet and the notes thereto, the report by the Board of Directors as well as the consolidated annual accounts for the Nokia Group. The presentation of the Annual Accounts by the Board is a non-votable item, but an ADR Holder may cast a vote for or against the approval of the Income Statements and Balance Sheets under item 2, or abstain.

What is the dividend amount proposed by the Board of Directors of Nokia?

Nokia's Board of Directors proposes, under item 3, a dividend of EUR 0.37 per share to be distributed for the financial year 2005. In addition to the cash dividend, Nokia's Board of Directors also projects share repurchases in 2006 with up to EUR 6.5 billion. Under item 12, Nokia's Board of Directors proposes an authorization to repurchase Nokia shares.

When will I receive the dividend?

The dividend will be paid by Nokia to the Depositary on April 21, 2006, and will then be distributed to all shareholders shortly thereafter either directly to you or through your broker. The dividend pay date in the United States is estimated to be on or about April 26, 2006.

What does "Discharging of the Chairman, the members of the Board of Directors and the President from liability" under item 4 mean?

This is one of the standard matters voted on during Nokia's shareholders' meetings, which according to Finnish mandatory law must be discussed and resolved at each Annual General Meeting for the preceding financial year. In principle, the resolution provides a release from liability towards the Company for the Chairman and the members of the Board and the President, for matters occurred in the financial year 2005. This release from liability will only cover matters that are within the knowledge of Nokia and the shareholders when the resolution is taken, and are valid only provided that the resolution of the meeting is made legally in proper order.

Is it possible to vote on the nomination of members to the Board of Directors?

Yes. An ADR Holder may either cast a vote of support for the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee's proposal of the number of members under 6 and membership under 7, or abstain. It is also possible to withhold votes from individual candidates proposed by the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee. ADR Holders cannot vote against the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee's proposal, as it is possible to make counter proposals and also cast a vote of support for such counter proposals only at the actual Meeting. The Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee's proposal under item 7 is on page 18 of this proxy booklet.

Why is it not possible to vote on the remuneration to be paid to the members of the Board of Directors?

At the time when the proxy material is distributed, the proposal under the agenda item 5, remuneration proposed to be paid to the members of the Board is not yet available. Under Finnish law, proposals and counterproposals may be made with respect to this agenda item up to and

14



during the Meeting, and a vote of support for such proposals can be cast only at the actual Meeting.

Therefore, ADR holders cannot vote on this agenda item. Historical information about the remuneration paid to the members of the Board of Directors for years 2003-2005 is included in our Annual Accounts for 2005, and our Form 20-F Annual Report for 2005, when filed.

What does the proposal regarding auditor remuneration mean?

The Board's Audit Committee oversees the qualifications and independence of the Company's external auditor. This includes the adoption of the pre-approval policy for the purchase of audit and non-audit services from the external auditor, as well as overseeing the compliance with such policy. In accordance with Nokia's Articles of Association, the Annual General Meeting shall resolve on the remuneration to be paid to the Company's external auditor.

In addition to the proposal on the election of auditor under item 9, the Audit Committee will also propose, under item 8, for the General Meeting's approval that the external auditor would be reimbursed according to the auditor's invoice to the company, and in accordance with the purchase policy approved by the Audit Committee.

The total audit and audit-related fees paid by Nokia Group to the external auditor for the fiscal period 2004 amounted to EUR 5.2 million and in 2005 to EUR 6.3 million.

What does the statement of the Audit Committee of the Board mean in respect of election of the Auditor?

Under Finnish law, shareholders of the Company elect the external Auditor at the Annual General Meeting for one fiscal year at a time. The role of the Board's Audit Committee in Nokia is, among other things, to confirm the independence of the external Auditor and oversee the overall performance of the Auditor subject to the requirements of Finnish law. The Audit Committee has evaluated the performance and the independence of the current auditor of Nokia, PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, for the fiscal year 2005. Based on its evaluation, the Audit Committee recommends the re-election of PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy for the fiscal year 2006.

Why does the Board of Directors propose to cancel shares and reduce the share capital under item 10?

The Board of Directors has by December 31, 2005 used part of the authorization by the Annual General Meeting held on April 7, 2005 to repurchase Nokia shares through public trading. As a result of the repurchases, the Company held a total of 261 010 000 Nokia shares as of December 31, 2005. The authorization is still valid until April 7, 2006, for a remaining maximum of 182 190 000 shares.

The Board proposes that the share capital be reduced through cancellation of these Nokia shares held by the Company as well as any shares possibly repurchased by the Annual General Meeting 2006. The reduction of the share capital will have no effect on the relative holdings of other shareholders of the Company or on the voting powers among them.

Under current Finnish law, repurchase of shares may not result in Nokia Group holding more than 10 percent of the registered share capital or the total voting rights of the company at any time. Therefore, if shares previously acquired by Nokia through repurchases are not cancelled, these

15



shares will limit planned repurchases in the future. The Board has on January 26, 2006 announced its projection for a share purchase plan also during 2006.

Why does the Board request from the Annual General Meeting the authorizations to increase the share capital, to repurchase own shares, and to dispose own shares under Items 11-13?

As a Finnish company Nokia may not, pursuant to mandatory Finnish law, issue new shares, repurchase Nokia shares or dispose them without shareholders' approval, or a shareholders' authorization to the Board for these actions. The Nokia Board proposes an extension of the authorizations it presently holds to issue new shares, as well as repurchase and/or dispose Nokia shares for the same purposes as before.

A resolution under items 11-13 requires a qualified majority of the votes cast, as well as of the shares represented at the meeting. ADR Holders form a significant number of Nokia shares represented at the Meeting. Therefore, in order for the Board to receive the authorizations proposed, the Company encourages ADR Holders to vote under these items. Please see the complete proposals by the Board of Directors on Internet, as well as related press releases at www.citibank.com/adr and at www.nokia.com/agm.

What does the authorization to repurchase own shares under item 12 mean?

Related to the proposed authorization to repurchase shares under item 12, the Board has on January 26, 2006 announced its projection for a stock repurchase plan with up to EUR 6.5 billion for repurchases as a means to develop Nokia's capital structure. Nokia has had a share repurchase plan also in 2004 and 2005. In addition, pursuant to the Board's proposal, the authorization to repurchase shares may be also used to carry out financing or other arrangements. The proposed amount of authorization in shares corresponds to nearly 10 percent of the share capital of the Company and the total voting rights.

How was the authorization to repurchase own shares used in 2005?

The Annual General Meeting held on April 7, 2005, gave the Board a one-year authorization to repurchase shares. Also a year earlier, on March 25, 2004, the Board was granted a similar authorization for one year. Hence, shares have been repurchased based on two separate authorizations during 2005, as depicted in the below table. Additional information on the share repurchases in 2005 is available in the Annual Accounts of the Company.

No. The Board of Directors did not use these authorizations in 2005.

16



What is the proposed length of the authorizations requested under items 11-13?

All authorizations proposed under items 11-13 can under current law only be valid for the year following the AGM resolution. It is proposed that the authorizations are effective until March 30, 2007.

The Finnish Government has issued a Government proposal for the new Finnish Companies Act and laws related thereto (HE 109/2005) to be passed by the Parliament. The proposed laws are intended to enter into force on September 1, 2006. The new Companies Act, when in force, will allow the general meeting to resolve on the authorization for the Board to increase share capital and dispose own shares for a period of up to 5 years, and to repurchase own shares for a period of up to 18 months. If the President of the Republic of Finland approves the laws by the time of the Annual General Meeting, and the laws enter into force latest on March 30, 2007, the proposed authorization would be effective until June 30, 2007.

The Board proposes that the authorizations given by the Annual General Meeting 2005 on April 7, 2005, to increase the share capital, to repurchase own shares, and to dispose own shares shall expire on March 30, 2006, provided that the new authorizations will be approved.

Why is an item 14, which pertains to other matters at the Annual General Meeting, on the agenda?

Under Finnish law, Nokia's Notice of Annual General Meeting must include an agenda setting out the matters to be brought before the meeting. The agenda must include those matters, which, pursuant to Nokia's Articles of Association and mandatory Finnish law, must be resolved at the Annual General Meeting.

In order for other matters to be included in the Notice of the Annual General Meeting and related agenda, the Board of Directors must be given sufficient notice of said items. As of the date on which this proxy material went to press, the Board of Directors was not aware of any matters to be voted upon at the Meeting other than those included in the Notice of the Annual General Meeting. Various matters of order may require a vote at the actual Meeting. The "other matters" referred to in the voting card may include, the election of the chairman for the meeting and persons to scrutinize the minutes. The voting instructions under item 14 relate therefore, to procedural matters only.

What does it mean, if I mark the box to give a discretionary proxy regarding item 14 of the Annual General Meeting?

If you have marked the relevant box and "other matters" are properly brought before the Meeting, the nominated representative of the Company will have a discretionary proxy to vote your ADSs with respect to those "other matters". The nominated representatives are Nokia's legal counsels.

What does it mean, if I do not mark the box to give a discretionary proxy regarding item 14 of the Annual General Meeting?

If you have not marked the relevant box and other matters are properly brought before the Meeting, your ADSs will not be voted with respect to those other matters. A resolution on those other matters will then be made only by the votes cast at the actual meeting.

Are the proposals on the Agenda available in their entirety?

Yes. The proposals by the Nokia Board are available in their entirety on the Internet through http://www.citibank.com/adr and http://www.nokia.com/agm. The Company's Annual Accounts (prepared under IFRS) for 2005 will also be made available on Nokia's website when completed, and Nokia's Form 20-F Annual Report (including US GAAP reconciliation) when filed.

R&D expenses totaled EUR 3,825 million in 2005, an increase of 1% from 2004 (EUR 3,776 million). R&D expenses represented 11.2% of Nokia's net sales in 2005, compared to 12.9% of net sales in 2004.

In February 2005, Nokia introduced the S60 Platform 3rd Edition, aimed at supporting the platform's expansion into the mid range and catering to new segments such as multimedia and enterprise. By year end, S60 licensees had introduced a cumulative total of 34 smartphone models based on the platform, strengthening S60's position as the industry's number one smartphone platform. During the year, Nokia introduced 14 devices based on the Symbian OS, upon which the S60 platform is built.

Memberships in Forum Nokia, the world's largest mobile application developer community, passed the 2 million mark in May 2005. Forum Nokia estimated, in November 2005, that the total global revenue earned by third party developers from mobile Java applications running on device platforms from Nokia would be EUR 340 million in 2005 alone.

NOKIA IN MOBILE DEVICES IN 2005

In our Mobile Phones, Multimedia and Enterprise Solutions business groups, combined mobile device volumes were up 28% in 2005, compared to 2004, reaching 265 million units—a new annual volume record for Nokia. Market volume for the same period was estimated at 795 million

4



units, an increase of 24%. Based on our preliminary market estimate, Nokia's market share grew to 33% in 2005, compared to 32% in 2004.

In smartphones, according to Nokia estimates, the total industry volume reached approximately 46.3 million units in 2005, compared to an estimated 20.6 million units in 2004. Nokia's own smartphone volumes in 2005 grew to 28.5 million units, compared to 11.8 million units in 2004. Nokia shipped more than 40 million mobile devices with an integrated music player in 2005.

Mobile Phones in 2005

During 2005, Mobile Phones introduced 41 new mobile device models, including 18 new CDMA phones. Of the new models, 32 were in the mid range or high end, while nine were at the entry level.

Launch highlights from 2005:

Nokia's first operator-specific designs, including the Nokia 6102 and Nokia 6234

Mobile Phones first 3G phones for the mass market: the Nokia 6280/6282 and Nokia 6233/6234

Mobile Phones first music phone: the Nokia 3250

The L'Amour fashion collection: the Nokia 7380, Nokia 7370 and Nokia 7360

The high end Nokia 6230 and Nokia 6230i were Nokia's highest revenue generating phones in 2005. These two products were also the industry's best selling devices in Europe during each month of the year. By the end of 2005, our combined cumulative volumes of the two devices had reached approximately 25 million units.

Multimedia in 2005

Multimedia's business continued to develop well in 2005, driven by growing demand for converged mobile devices with advanced imaging, music, web browsing and email functionality. Nokia became the global market leader in 3G/WCDMA devices during the year, as a result of high sales of products such as the Nokia 6680 and the Nokia 6630, as well as the Nokia N70 towards the end of 2005.

A key development during the year was the launch of the Nokia Nseries sub-brand and multimedia computer product category. In 2005, we announced six Nokia Nseries multimedia computer models, two of which began shipping during the year. Targeting early adopters and technology leaders, these advanced mobile devices include Carl Zeiss optics, megapixel cameras, multi-gigabyte memories, stereo sound, VHS resolution video and WLAN connectivity.

Other developments in 2005 include:

The launch of the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, our first device in the new Internet Tablet category

The announcement of collaboration agreements with Yahoo!, Carl Zeiss, Microsoft, Bose, Harman Kardon, JBL and Sennheiser

During 2005, Networks announced 16 contracts in 3G/WCDMA, including agreements with 10 new customers. By year end, Nokia had supplied to a total of 44 of the 100 operators that had launched commercial 3G/WCDMA services to date. In the growing HSDPA market we announced seven deals, bringing Nokia's total HSDPA references to 20.

In GSM, EDGE and GPRS, we signed some 20 contracts in 2005. By year end, Nokia had delivered GSM/EDGE technology to more than 130 customers in nearly 70 countries, was a supplier to 45 of the 121 operators that had launched EDGE commercially, and had signed more than 50 contracts for EDGE.

In core networks, Nokia cemented its leadership in the 3GPP Release 4 mobile softswitch market, with 60 deals for the Nokia MSC Server System (MSS) during 2005. In the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) market, Nokia won 11 commercial deals and trialed the solution with almost 20 operators. In GSM-based Push to Talk over Cellular, we won contracts with 24 new customers in 2005. In fixed-mobile convergence, we concluded agreements with 10 customers and launched our Voice over IP (VoIP) server.

Nokia's Services Business unit was created at the start of 2005, focusing on managed services, consulting and integration. By year end, Services accounted for more than 30 percent of Networks revenues, and major deals included a managed services contract with Bharti Tele-Ventures.

During 2005, Networks honed its business focus, selling its professional mobile radio business to EADS. We also entered new growth markets like Bangladesh and Vietnam, and established a new presence in countries such as Tunisia.

ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTMENTS

In November 2005, Nokia announced the acquisition of Intellisync Corporation, a leader in platform-independent wireless messaging and mobile software. This acquisition is planned to position Nokia to deliver the industry's most complete offering for the development, deployment and management of mobility in the enterprise. The transaction is also planned to enhance Nokia's ability to respond to customer needs in this fast growing market. The acquisition is currently scheduled to be completed during the first quarter of 2006, subject to the approval of Intellisync shareholders and other customary closing conditions.

6



In September 2005, Nokia's Professional Mobile Radio business, including TETRA infrastructure and terminals, was acquired by and transferred to EADS.

CHANGES IN THE MANAGEMENT

The Board of Directors has released Mr. Jorma Ollila, Chairman and CEO, upon his request from his duties as the CEO and Chairman of the Group Executive Board effective June 1, 2006. Mr. Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo was appointed President and COO as of October 1, 2005 and President and CEO and Chairman of the Group Executive Board as of June 1, 2006. Mr. Pekka Ala-Pietilä, formerly President of Nokia and Head of Customer and Market Operations, resigned from the Group Executive Board and his position as President effective October 1, 2005.

PERSONNEL

The average number of personnel for 2005 was 56,896 (53,511 for 2004). At the end of 2005, Nokia employed 58,874 people worldwide (55,505 at year end 2004). In 2005, Nokia's personnel increased by a total of 3,369 employees (increase of 4,146 in 2004).

SHARES AND SHARE CAPITAL

In 2005, Nokia's share capital increased by EUR 7,514.40 as a result of the issue of 125,240 new shares upon exercise of stock options issued to personnel in 2003. As a result of the new share issues, Nokia received a total of EUR 1,659,743.60 in additional shareholders' equity in 2005. Effective April 22, 2005, a total of 230 million shares held by the company were cancelled pursuant to the shareholders' resolution taken at the Annual General Meeting on April 7, 2005. As a result of the cancellation, the share capital was reduced by the aggregate par value of the shares cancelled, EUR 13,800,000, which corresponded to less than 5% of the share capital of the company and the total voting rights at that time. The cancellation did not reduce the shareholders' equity. Neither the aforementioned issuances nor the cancellation of shares had any significant effect on the relative holdings of the other shareholders of the company nor on their voting power.

Nokia repurchased through its share repurchase plans a total of 315,010,000 shares on the Helsinki Exchange at an aggregate price of approximately EUR 4.265 billion during the period from January 28, 2005 to December 23, 2005. The price paid was based on the market price at the time of repurchase. The shares were repurchased to be used for the purposes specified in the authorizations given by the Annual General Meetings of 2004 and 2005 to the Board. The aggregate par value of the shares purchased was EUR 18,900,600, representing approximately 7.10% of the share capital of the company and the total voting rights. These new holdings did not have any significant effect on the relative holdings of the other shareholders of the company nor on their voting power.

On December 31, 2005, Nokia and its subsidiary companies owned 261,511,283 Nokia shares. The shares had an aggregate par value of EUR 15,690,676.98, representing approximately 5.9% of the share capital of the company and the total voting rights.

The total number of shares at December 31, 2005 was 4,433,886,540. On December 31, 2005, Nokia's share capital was EUR 266,033,192.40.

OUTLOOK FOR THE FULL YEAR 2006

Nokia expects the mobile device market volume to grow more than 10% in 2006, from our preliminary estimate of approximately 795 million units in 2005. We also expect the device industry to experience value growth in 2006, but expect some decline in industry ASPs, primarily reflecting the increasing impact of the emerging markets. Nokia expects moderate growth in the

7



mobile infrastructure market in euro terms in 2006. Nokia's goal is to increase its market share both in mobile devices and the infrastructure market, in order to build on its industry leading position.

DIVIDEND

Nokia's Board of Directors will propose a dividend of EUR 0.37 per share for 2005.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Accounting principles

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Nokia Corporation ("Nokia" or "the Group"), a Finnish limited liability company with domicile in Helsinki, are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of euros ("EURm"), except as noted, and are prepared under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below. The notes to the consolidated financial statements also conform with Finnish Accounting legislation.

As of January 1, 2005 the Group adopted IFRS 2, Share-based Payment. The standard requires the recognition of share-based payment transactions in financial statements, including transactions with employees or other parties to be settled in cash, other assets, or equity instruments of the Company. Prior to the adoption of IFRS 2, the Group did not recognize the financial effect of share-based payments until such payments were settled. In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 2, the Standard has been applied retrospectively to all grants of shares, share options or other equity instruments that were granted after November 7, 2002 and that were not yet vested at the effective date of the standard.

As of January 1, 2005 the Group adopted IAS 39(R), Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, which supersedes IAS 39 (revised 2000). Under IAS 39(R), hedge accounting is no longer allowed under Treasury Center foreign exchange netting. This change is retrospective for the Group as an existing IFRS user.

The comparative figures for 2004 and 2003 have been revised to reflect the adoption of IFRS 2 and IAS 39(R) and the effects are summarized in the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity, and further information is disclosed in the accounting policies and in Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The Group adopted IFRS 3, Business Combinations together with IAS 36(R), Impairment of Assets, and IAS 38(R), Intangible Assets, as of January 1, 2005, resulting in a change in the accounting policy for goodwill. Until December 31, 2004, goodwill was amortized on a straight line basis over its expected useful life over a period ranging from two to five years and assessed for an indication of impairment, periodically. In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3, the Group ceased amortization of goodwill from January 1, 2005 for all acquisitions made prior to March 31, 2004. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2004 has been eliminated with a corresponding decrease in the cost of goodwill. From January 1, 2005, goodwill is assessed for impairment annually, and whenever there are indications of impairment. Under the transitional provisions of IFRS 3, this change in accounting policy was effective immediately for acquisitions made after March 31, 2004.

Consequent upon the adoption of IAS 21(R), The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, the Group has changed its accounting policy for the translation differences of goodwill arising on acquisitions of foreign companies made after January 1, 2005. Goodwill on acquisitions of foreign companies made prior to that is translated to euros at historical rates. In accordance with IAS 21(R), goodwill on acquisitions of foreign companies made after January 1, 2005, is translated into euros at closing rates.

The impacts of IFRS 3 and IAS 21(R) are prospective from January 1, 2005. The adoption of IFRS 3, IAS 21(R), IAS 36(R) and IAS 38(R) did not have any impact to the Group's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

15



Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nokia's parent company ("Parent Company"), and each of those companies in which it either owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, over 50% of the voting rights, or over which it has control of their operating and financial policies. The Group's share of profits and losses of associated companies (generally 20% to 50% voting rights or over which the Group has significant influence) is included in the consolidated profit and loss account in accordance with the equity method of accounting.

All inter-company transactions are eliminated as part of the consolidation process. Minority interests are presented separately in arriving at the net profit and they are shown as a component of shareholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheet.

Profits realized in connection with the sale of fixed assets between the Group and associated companies are eliminated in proportion to share ownership. Such profits are deducted from the Group's equity and fixed assets and released in the Group accounts over the same period as depreciation is charged.

The companies acquired during the financial periods presented have been consolidated from the date on which control of the net assets and operations was transferred to the Group. Similarly the result of a Group company divested during an accounting period is included in the Group accounts only to the date of disposal.

Goodwill

Acquisitions of companies are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase cost over the fair value of assets less liabilities of acquired companies.

The Group assesses the carrying value of goodwill annually or, more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying value may not be recoverable. If such indication exists the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit, to which goodwill belongs. This amount is then compared to the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit and an impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount. Impairment losses are recognized immediately in the profit and loss account.

Transactions in foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the individual transactions. For practical reasons, a rate that approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction is often used. At the end of the accounting period, the unsettled balances on foreign currency receivables and liabilities are valued at the rates of exchange prevailing at the year-end. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from balance sheet items, as well as fair value changes in the related hedging instruments, are reported in Financial Income and Expenses.

Foreign Group companies

In the consolidated accounts all items in the profit and loss accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated into euro at the average foreign exchange rates for the accounting period. The balance sheets of foreign Group companies are translated into euro at the year-end foreign exchange rates with the exception of goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign company prior to the adoption of IAS 21 (revised 2004) as of January 1, 2005, which is translated to euro at historical

16



rates. Differences resulting from the translation of profit and loss account items at the average rate and the balance sheet items at the closing rate are treated as an adjustment affecting consolidated shareholders' equity. On the disposal of all or part of a foreign Group company by sale, liquidation, repayment of share capital or abandonment, the cumulative amount or proportionate share of the translation difference is recognized as income or as expense in the same period in which the gain or loss on disposal is recognized.

Fair valuing principles

Financial assets and liabilities

Under IAS 39(R), the Group classifies its investments in marketable debt and equity securities and investments in unlisted equity securities into the following categories: held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale depending on the purpose for acquiring the investments as well as ongoing intentions. All investments of the Group are currently classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale investments are fair valued by using quoted market rates, discounted cash flow analyses and other appropriate valuation models at the balance sheet date. Certain unlisted equities for which fair values cannot be measured reliably are reported at cost less impairment. All purchases and sales of investments are recorded on the trade date, which is the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

The fair value changes of available-for-sale investments are recognized in shareholders' equity. When the investment is disposed of, the related accumulated fair value changes are released from shareholders' equity and recognized in the profit and loss account. The weighted average method is used when determining the cost-basis of publicly listed equities being disposed of. FIFO (First-in First-out) method is used to determine the cost basis of fixed income securities being disposed of. An impairment is recorded when the carrying amount of an available-for-sale investment is greater than the estimated fair value and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. The cumulative net loss relating to that investment is removed from equity and recognized in the profit and loss account for the period. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the investment increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the loss was recognized, the loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal included in the profit and loss account.

The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities are assumed to approximate their carrying values, either because of their short maturities, or their fair values cannot be measured reliably.

Derivatives

Fair values of forward rate agreements, interest rate options, futures contracts and exchange traded options are calculated based on quoted market rates at the balance sheet date. Interest rate and currency swaps are valued by using discounted cash flow analyses. The changes in the fair values of these contracts are reported in the profit and loss account.

Fair values of cash settled equity derivatives are calculated by revaluing the contract at year-end quoted market rates. Changes in fair value are reported in the profit and loss account.

Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the market forward exchange rates. Changes in fair value are measured by comparing these rates with the original contract forward rate. Currency options are valued at the balance sheet date by using the Garman & Kohlhagen option

17



valuation model. Changes in the fair value on these instruments are reported in the profit and loss account except to the extent they qualify for hedge accounting.

Embedded derivatives are identified and monitored in the Group and fair valued at the balance sheet date. In assessing the fair value of embedded derivatives the Group uses a variety of methods, such as option pricing models and discounted cash flow analysis, and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. The fair value changes are reported in the profit and loss account.

Hedge accounting

Hedging of anticipated foreign currency denominated sales and purchases

The Group applies hedge accounting for "Qualifying hedges". Qualifying hedges are those properly documented cash flow hedges of the foreign exchange rate risk of future anticipated foreign currency denominated sales and purchases that meet the requirements set out in IAS 39(R). The cash flow being hedged must be "highly probable" and must ultimately impact the profit and loss account. The hedge must be highly effective both prospectively and retrospectively.

The Group claims hedge accounting in respect of certain forward foreign exchange contracts and options, or option strategies, which have zero net premium or a net premium paid, and where the critical terms of the bought and sold options within a collar or zero premium structure are the same and where the nominal amount of the sold option component is no greater than that of the bought option.

For qualifying foreign exchange forwards the change in fair value that reflects the change in spot exchange rates is deferred in shareholders' equity to the extent that the hedge is effective. For qualifying foreign exchange options, or option strategies, the change in intrinsic value is deferred in shareholders' equity to the extent that the hedge is effective. In all cases the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the profit and loss account. Hedging costs, either expressed as the change in fair value that reflects the change in forward exchange rates less the change in spot exchange rates for forward foreign exchange contracts, or changes in the time value for options, or options strategies, are recognized within other operating income or expenses.

Accumulated fair value changes from qualifying hedges are released from shareholders' equity into the profit and loss account as adjustments to sales and cost of sales, in the period when the hedged cash flow affects the profit and loss account. If the hedged cash flow is no longer expected to take place, all deferred gains or losses are released into the profit and loss account as adjustments to sales and cost of sales, immediately. If the hedged cash flow ceases to be highly probable, but is still expected to take place, accumulated gains and losses remain in equity until the hedged cash flow affects the profit and loss account.

Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting under IAS 39(R) are recognized immediately in the profit and loss account. The fair value changes of derivative instruments that directly relate to normal business operations are recognized within other operating income and expenses. The fair value changes from all other derivative instruments are recognized in financial income and expenses.

18



Foreign currency hedging of net investments

The Group also applies hedge accounting for its foreign currency hedging on net investments. Qualifying hedges are those properly documented hedges of the foreign exchange rate risk of foreign currency-denominated net investments that meet the requirements set out in IAS 39(R). The hedge must be effective both prospectively and retrospectively.

The Group claims hedge accounting in respect of forward foreign exchange contracts, foreign currency-denominated loans, and options, or option strategies, which have zero net premium or a net premium paid, and where the terms of the bought and sold options within a collar or zero premium structure are the same.

For qualifying foreign exchange forwards the change in fair value that reflects the change in spot exchange rates is deferred in shareholders' equity. The change in fair value that reflects the change in forward exchange rates less the change in spot exchange rates is recognized in the profit and loss account within financial income and expenses. For qualifying foreign exchange options the change in intrinsic value is deferred in shareholders' equity. Changes in the time value are at all times taken directly to the profit and loss account within financial income and expenses. If a foreign currency-denominated loan is used as a hedge, all foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the transaction are recognized in shareholders' equity.

Accumulated fair value changes from qualifying hedges are released from shareholders' equity into the profit and loss account only if the legal entity in the given country is sold, liquidated, repays its share capital or is abandoned.

Revenue recognition

Sales from the majority of the Group are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. An immaterial part of the revenue from products sold through distribution channels is recognized when the reseller or distributor sells the products to the end users. The Group records reductions to revenue for special pricing agreements, price protection and other volume based discounts.

In addition, sales and cost of sales from contracts involving solutions achieved through modification of complex telecommunications equipment are recognized on the percentage of completion method when the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. This occurs when total contract revenue and the costs to complete the contract can be estimated reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the contract will flow to the Group and the stage of contract completion can be measured. When the Group is not able to meet those conditions, the policy is to recognize revenues only equal to costs incurred to date, to the extent that such costs are expected to be recovered.

Completion is measured by reference to cost incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total project costs, the cost-to-cost method.

The percentage of completion method relies on estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs, as well as dependable measurement of the progress made towards completing a particular project. Recognized revenues and profits are subject to revisions during the project in the event that the assumptions regarding the overall project outcome are revised. The cumulative impact of a revision in estimates is recorded in the period such revisions become likely and estimable. Losses on projects in progress are recognized in the period they become likely and estimable.

19



The Group's customer contracts may include the provision of separately identifiable components of a single transaction, for example the construction of a network solution and subsequent network maintenance services. Accordingly, for these arrangements, revenue recognition requires proper identification of the components of the transaction and evaluation of their commercial effect in order to reflect the substance of the transaction. If the components are considered separable, revenue is allocated across the identifiable components based upon relative fair values.

All the Group's material revenue streams are recorded according to the above policies.

Shipping and handling costs

The costs of shipping and distributing products are included in cost of sales.

Research and development

Research and development costs are expensed as they are incurred, except for certain development costs, which are capitalized when it is probable that a development project will generate future economic benefits, and certain criteria, including commercial and technical feasibility, have been met. Capitalized development costs, comprising direct labor and related overhead, are amortized on a systematic basis over their expected useful lives between two and five years.

Capitalized development costs are subject to regular assessments of recoverability based on anticipated future revenues, including the impact of changes in technology. Unamortized capitalized development costs determined to be in excess of their recoverable amounts are expensed immediately.

Other intangible assets

Expenditures on acquired patents, trademarks and licenses are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives, but not exceeding 20 years. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of any intangible asset is assessed and written down to its recoverable amount. Costs of software licenses associated with internal-use software are capitalized. These costs are included within other intangible assets and are amortized over a period not to exceed three years.

Pensions

The Group companies have various pension schemes in accordance with the local conditions and practices in the countries in which they operate. The schemes are generally funded through payments to insurance companies or to trustee-administered funds as determined by periodic actuarial calculations.

The Group's contributions to defined contribution plans and to multi-employer and insured plans are charged to the profit and loss account in the period to which the contributions relate.

For defined benefit plans, principally the reserved portion of the Finnish TEL system, pension costs are assessed using the projected unit credit method: the cost of providing pensions is charged to the profit and loss account so as to spread the service cost over the service lives of employees. The pension obligation is measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates on government securities that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of

20



the related liabilities. Actuarial gains and losses outside the corridor are recognized over the average remaining service lives of employees.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the assets as follows:

Buildings and constructions   20–33 years
Production machinery, measuring and test equipment   1–3 years
Other machinery and equipment   3–10 years

Land and water areas are not depreciated.

Maintenance, repairs and renewals are generally charged to expense during the financial period in which they are incurred. However, major renovations are capitalized and included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Group. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lease term or useful life, whatever is shorter.

Gains and losses on the disposal of fixed assets are included in operating profit/loss.

Leases

The Group has entered into various operating leases, the payments under which are treated as rentals and charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using standard cost, which approximates actual cost, on a first in first out (FIFO) basis. Net realizable value is the amount that can be realized from the sale of the inventory in the normal course of business after allowing for the costs of realization.

In addition to the cost of materials and direct labor, an appropriate proportion of production overheads are included in the inventory values.

An allowance is recorded for excess inventory and obsolescence.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at the original invoice amount to customers less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a periodic review of all outstanding amounts, which includes an analysis of historical bad debt, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms. Bad debts are written off when identified.

Cash and cash equivalents

Bank and cash consist of cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid available-for-sale investments purchased with remaining maturities at the date of acquisition of three months or less.

21



Short-term Investments

The Group considers all highly liquid marketable securities purchased with maturity at acquisition of more than three months as short-term investments. They are included in current available-for-sale investments, liquid assets, in the balance sheet.

Borrowings

Borrowings are classified as loans and are recognized initially at an amount equal to the proceeds received, net of transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods, they are stated at amortized cost using the effective yield method; any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the profit and loss account over the period of the borrowings.

Loans to customers

Loans to customers are recorded at amortized cost. Loans are subject to regular and thorough review as to their collectibility and as to available collateral; in the event that any loan is deemed not fully recoverable, provision is made to reflect the shortfall between the carrying amount and the present value of the expected cash flows. Interest income on loans to customers is accrued monthly on the principal outstanding at the market rate on the date of financing and is included in other operating income.

Income taxes

Current taxes are based on the results of the Group companies and are calculated according to local tax rules.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined, using the liability method, for all temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes. Currently enacted tax rates are used in the determination of deferred income tax.

Under this method the Group is required, in relation to an acquisition, to make provision for deferred taxes on the difference between the fair values of the net assets acquired and their tax bases.

The principal temporary differences arise from intercompany profit in inventory, warranty and other provisions, untaxed reserves and tax losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets relating to the carry forward of unused tax losses are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilized.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement would be recognized as an asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.

22



The Group recognizes the estimated liability to repair or replace products still under warranty at the balance sheet date. The provision is calculated based on historical experience of the level of repairs and replacements.

The Group recognizes the estimated liability for non-cancellable purchase commitments for inventory in excess of forecasted requirements at each balance sheet date.

The Group recognizes a provision for the estimated future settlements related to asserted and unasserted Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) infringements, based on the probable outcome of each case as of each balance sheet date.

The Group recognizes a provision for pension and other social costs on unvested equity instruments based upon local statutory law, net of deferred compensation, which is recorded as a component of shareholders equity. The provision is considered as a cash-settled share-based payment and is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity benefits provided, and the amount of the provision is adjusted to reflect the changes in the Nokia share price. The Group recognizes a provision for prior year tax contingencies based upon the estimated future settlement amount at each balance sheet date.

Share-based compensation

The Group has three types of equity settled share based compensation schemes for employees: stock options, performance shares and restricted shares. Employee services received, and the corresponding increase in equity, are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments as at the date of grant, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions attached to the performance shares are included in assumptions about the number of shares that the employee will ultimately receive. On a regular basis the Group reviews the assumptions made and revises its estimates of the number of performance shares that are expected to be settled, where necessary. Share-based compensation is recognized as an expense in the profit and loss account over the service period. When stock options are exercised, the proceeds received net of any transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium.

Dividends

Dividends proposed by the Board of Directors are not recorded in the financial statements until they have been approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

Earnings per share

The Group calculates both basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with IAS 33, Earnings per share, (IAS 33). Under IAS 33, basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted shares and performance shares outstanding during the period.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the application of judgment by management in selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates,

23



which inherently contain some degree of uncertainty. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the reported carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Set forth below are areas requiring significant judgment and estimation that may have an impact on reported results and the financial position.

Revenue recognition

Sales from the majority of the Group are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Current sales may materially change if management's assessment of such criteria was determined to be inaccurate.

Revenue from contracts involving solutions achieved through modification of complex telecommunications equipment is recognized on the percentage of completion basis when the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Recognized revenues and profits are subject to revisions during the project in the event that the assumptions regarding the overall project outcome are revised. Current sales and profit estimates for projects may materially change due to the early stage of a long-term project, new technology, changes in the project scope, changes in costs, changes in timing, changes in customers' plans, realization of penalties, and other corresponding factors.

Customer financing

The Group has provided a limited amount of customer financing and agreed extended payment terms with selected customers. Should the actual financial position of the customers or general economic conditions differ from assumptions, the ultimate collectibility of such financings and trade credits may be required to be re-assessed, which could result in a write-off of these balances and thus negatively impact profits in future periods.

Allowances for doubtful accounts

The Group maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the subsequent inability of customers to make required payments. If the financial conditions of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required in future periods.

Inventory-related allowances

The Group periodically reviews inventory for excess amounts, obsolescence and declines in market value below cost and records an allowance against the inventory balance for any such declines. These reviews require management to estimate future demand for products. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the valuation of inventory in future periods.

24



Warranty provisions

The Group provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The Group's warranty provision is established based upon best estimates of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. As new products incorporating complex technologies are continuously introduced, and as local laws, regulations and practices may change, changes in these estimates could result in additional allowances or changes to recorded allowances being required in future periods.

Provision for intellectual property rights, or IPR, infringements

The Group provides for the estimated future settlements related to asserted and unasserted IPR infringements based on the probable outcome of each infringement. IPR infringement claims can last for varying periods of time, resulting in irregular movements in the IPR infringement provision. The ultimate outcome or actual cost of settling an individual infringement may materially vary from estimates.

Legal contingencies

Legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters are pending or threatened in various jurisdictions against the Group. Provisions are recorded for pending litigation when it is determined that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inherent uncertain nature of litigation, the ultimate outcome or actual cost of settlement may materially vary from estimates.

Capitalized development costs

The Group capitalizes certain development costs when it is probable that a development project will generate future economic benefits and certain criteria, including commercial and technical feasibility, have been met. Should a product fail to substantiate its estimated feasibility or life cycle, material development costs may be required to be written off in future periods.

Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill

The Group assesses the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets, long-lived assets and goodwill annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that trigger an impairment review include underperformance relative to historical or projected future results, significant changes in the manner of the use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business and significant negative industry or economic trends. The most significant variables in determining cash flows are discount rates, terminal values, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. Amounts estimated could differ materially from what will actually occur in the future.

Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, unlisted equities, currency options and embedded derivatives) are determined using valuation techniques. The Group uses judgment to select an appropriate valuation methodology as well as underlying assumptions based on existing market practice and conditions. Changes in these assumptions may cause the Group to recognize impairments or losses in future periods.

25



Deferred taxes

Management judgment is required in determining provisions for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized. If the final outcome of these matters differs from the amounts initially recorded, differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Pensions

The determination of pension benefit obligation and expense for defined benefit pension plans is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and annual rate of increase in future compensation levels. A portion of plan assets is invested in equity securities which are subject to equity market volatility. Changes in assumptions may materially affect the pension obligation and future expense.

Share-based compensation

The Group has various types of equity settled share-based compensation schemes for employees. Fair value of stock options is based on certain assumptions, including, among others, expected volatility and expected life of the options. Non-market vesting conditions attached to performance shares are included in assumptions about the number of shares that the employee will ultimately receive relating to projections of sales and earnings per share. Significant differences in equity market performance, employee option activity and the Group's projected and actual sales and earnings per share performance, may materially affect future expense.

New IFRS standards and revised IAS standards

In August 2005, the IASB issued IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, which will supersede all disclosure requirements addressed earlier in IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, and includes a comprehensive set of qualitative and quantitative disclosures on risk exposures from all financial instruments. IFRS 7 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2007. The Group does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the disclosures as it has also in the past disclosed qualitative and quantitative information on risk exposures.

In December 2004, the IASB issued Amendment to IAS 19 Employee Benefits—Actuarial Gains and Losses, Group Plans and Disclosures, which introduces the option of an alternative recognition approach for actuarial gains and losses. It also adds new disclosure requirements. As the Group does not intend to change the accounting policy adopted for recognition of actuarial gains and losses, adoption of this amendment will only impact the format and extent of disclosures presented in the accounts. The Group will apply this amendment from annual periods beginning January 1, 2006.

3. Segment information

 Nokia is organized on a worldwide basis into four primary business segments: Mobile Phones; Multimedia; Enterprise Solutions; and Networks. Nokia's reportable segments represent the strategic business units that offer different products and services for which monthly financial information is provided to the Board.

Mobile Phones connects people by providing expanding mobile voice and data capabilities across a wide range of mobile devices.

Multimedia brings connected mobile multimedia experiences to consumers in the form of advanced mobile devices and applications.

Enterprise Solutions offers businesses and institutions a broad range of products and solutions, including enterprise-grade mobile devices, underlying security infrastructure, software and services.

Networks provides network infrastructure, communications and networks service platforms as well as professional services to operators and service providers.

In addition to the four business groups, the Group's organization has two horizontal units to support the mobile device business groups, increase operational efficiency and competitiveness, and to take advantage of economies of scale: Customer and Market Operations and Technology Platforms. The horizontal groups are not separate reporting entities, but their costs are carried

27



mainly by the mobile device business groups, which comprises of Mobile Phones, Multimedia and Enterprise Solutions, with the balance included in Common Group Functions. The costs and revenues as well as assets and liabilities of the horizontal groups are allocated to the mobile device business groups on a symmetrical basis; with any amounts not so allocated included in Common Group Functions. Common Group Functions consists of common research and general Group functions.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1. Nokia accounts for intersegment revenues and transfers as if the revenues or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices. Nokia evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on operating profit.

No single customer represents 10% or more of Group revenues.

6. Pensions

 The most significant pension plans are in Finland and are comprised of the Finnish state TEL system with benefits directly linked to employee earnings. These benefits are financed in two distinct portions. The majority of benefits are financed by contributions to a central pool with the majority of the contributions being used to pay current benefits. The other part comprises reserved benefits which are pre-funded through the trustee-administered Nokia Pension Foundation. The pooled portion of the TEL system is accounted for as a defined contribution plan and the reserved portion as a defined benefit plan. The foreign plans include both defined contribution and defined benefit plans.

32



Effective on January 1, 2005, the Finnish TEL system was reformed. The most significant change that has an impact on the Group's future financial statements is that pensions accumulated after 2005 are calculated on the earnings during the entire working career, not only on the basis of the last few years of employment as provided by the old rules. An increase to the rate at which pensions accrue led to a past service cost of EUR 5 million in 2004, which will be recognized over employees' future working life.

As a result of the changes in the TEL system, which increased the Group's obligation in respect of ex employees and reduced the obligation in respect of recent recruits, a change in the liability has been recognised to cover future disability pensions. In 2005, to compensate the Group for the additional liability in respect of ex-employees assets of EUR 24 million were transferred from the pooled part of the pension system to cover future disability pensions inside Nokia Pension Foundation. As this transfer of assets is effectively a reduction of the obligation to the pooled premium, it has been accounted for as a credit to the profit and loss account during 2005.

The prepaid pension cost above is made up of a prepayment of EUR 207 million (EUR 202 million in 2004) and an accrual of EUR 80 million (EUR 76 million in 2004).

The domestic pension plans' assets include Nokia securities with fair values of EUR 6 million in 2005 (EUR 4 million in 2004).

The foreign pension plan assets include a self investment through a loan provided to Nokia by the Group's German pension fund of EUR 62 million (EUR 62 million in 2004). See Note 34.

The actual return on plan assets was EUR 147 million in 2005 (EUR 83 million in 2004).

7. Advertising and promotional expenses

 The Group expenses advertising and promotion costs as incurred. Advertising and promotional expenses were EUR 1,481 million in 2005 (EUR 1,144 million in 2004 and EUR 1,414 million in 2003).

8. Other operating income and expenses

 Other operating income for 2005 includes a gain of EUR 61 million relating to the divestiture of the Group's Tetra business, a EUR 18 million gain related to the partial sale of a minority investment (see Note 16) and a EUR 45 million gain related to qualifying sales and leaseback transactions for real estate. In 2005, Enterprise Solutions recorded a charge of EUR 29 million for personnel expenses and other costs in connection with a restructuring taken in light of general downturn in market conditions, which were fully paid during 2005.

Other operating income for 2004 includes a gain of EUR 160 million representing the premium return under a multi-line, multi-year insurance program, which expired during 2004. The return was due to our low claims experience during the policy period.

34



Other operating income for 2003 includes a gain of EUR 56 million on the sale of the remaining shares of Nokian Tyres Ltd. In 2003, Networks recorded a charge of EUR 80 million for personnel expenses and other costs in connection with the restructuring taken in light of general downturn in market conditions, of which EUR 15 million was paid during 2003.

During 2004, the Group recorded an impairment charge of EUR 65 million of capitalized development costs due to the abandonment of FlexiGateway and Horizontal Technology modules. In addition, an impairment charge of EUR 50 million was recorded on WCDMA radio access network program due to changes in market outlook. The impairment loss was determined as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount for WCDMA radio access network was derived from the discounted cash flow projections, which cover the estimated life of the WCDMA radio access network current technology, using a discount rate of 15%. The impaired technologies were part of Networks business group.

Relating to restructuring at Networks, the Group recorded a EUR 206 million impairment of capitalized development costs in 2003 relating to the WCDMA 3G systems. In 2003, Nokia also recorded a EUR 26 million and EUR 43 million impairment of capitalized development costs relating to FlexiGateway and Metrosite systems, respectively. The impairment losses were determined as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its recoverable amount. In determining the recoverable amount, the Group calculated the present value of

35



estimated discounted future cash flows, using a 15% discount rate for WCDMA and FlexiGateway and 12% discount rate for Metrosite, expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.

The impairment charge recorded in 2002 relating to Mobilcom was substantially reversed in 2003 by EUR 226 million as a result of the company receiving repayment of the Mobilcom loans receivables in the form of subordinated convertible perpetual bonds of France Telecom. See Notes 12, 17 and 22.

The Group has evaluated the carrying value of goodwill arising from certain acquisitions by determining if the carrying values of the net assets of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill belongs exceeds the recoverable amounts of that unit. In 2003, in the Networks business, the Group recorded an impairment charge of EUR 151 million on goodwill related to the acquisition of Amber Networks. The recoverable amount for Amber Networks was derived from the value in use discounted cash flow projections, which cover the estimated life of the Amber platform technology, using a discount rate of 15%. The impairment was a result of significant declines in the market outlook for products under development.

During 2005 the Group's investment in certain equity securities suffered a permanent decline in fair value resulting in an impairment charge of EUR 30 million relating to non-current available- for-sale investments (EUR 11 million in 2004 and EUR 27 million in 2003).

10. Acquisitions

 In 2003, the Group made three minor purchase acquisitions for a total consideration of EUR 38 million, of which EUR 20 million was in cash and EUR 18 million in non-cash consideration.

During 2005, Nokia sold the remaining holdings in the subordinated convertible perpetual bonds issued by France Telecom. As a result, the Group booked a total net gain of EUR 57 million (EUR 106 million in 2004) in other financial income, of which EUR 53 million (EUR 104 million in 2004) was recycled from Fair Value and Other Reserves.

At December 31, 2005, the Group had loss carry forwards, primarily attributable to foreign subsidiaries of EUR 92 million (EUR 105 million in 2004 and EUR 186 million in 2003), most of which will expire between 2006 and 2023.

In the beginning of 2005, the corporate tax rate in Finland was reduced from 29% to 26%. The impact of the change on the Profit and loss account through change in deferred taxes in 2004 was EUR 26 million. In 2005, there was no impact on the Profit and loss account through a change in deferred tax.

Income taxes include a tax benefit from a tax refund from previous years of EUR 48 million in 2005.

Certain of the Group companies' income tax returns for periods ranging from 1998 through 2004 are under examination by tax authorities. The Group does not believe that any significant additional taxes in excess of those already provided for will arise as a result of the examinations.

During 2004, the Group analyzed its future foreign investment plans with respect to certain foreign investments. As a result of this analysis, the Group concluded that it could no longer represent that all foreign earnings may be permanently reinvested. Accordingly, the Group recorded the recognition of a EUR 60 million deferred tax liability in 2004. In 2005, the deferred tax liability was EUR 68 million.

In 2005, the Group disposed part of its 36.2% minority holding in Aircom Ltd. resulting to a holding of 10%. The gain on the sale recorded in other operating income was EUR 18 million. The Group's remaining 10% holding in Aircom shares is recorded as a non-current available-for-sale investment.

In 2004, the Group increased its ownership in Symbian from 32.2% to 47.9% by acquiring part of the shares of Symbian owned by Psion for EUR 102 million (GBP 70 million). EUR 68 million (GBP 47 million) of the total acquisition cost was paid in cash and the remaining purchase price is considered as contingent consideration to be paid in 2005 and 2006. The Group also participated in a rights issue to raise EUR 73 million (GBP 50 million) additional funding to Symbian. The issue was pro rata to existing shareholders.

Shareholdings in associated companies are comprised of investments in unlisted companies in all periods presented.

Available-for-sale investments, comprising marketable debt and equity securities and investments in unlisted equity shares, are fair valued, except in the case of certain unlisted equities, where the fair value cannot be measured reliably. Such unlisted equities are carried at cost, less impairment (EUR 82 million in 2005 and EUR 54 million in 2004). Fair value for equity investments traded in active markets and for unlisted equities, where the fair value can be measured reliably, was EUR 165 million in 2005 and EUR 115 million in 2004. Fair value for equity investments traded in active markets is determined by using exchange quoted bid prices. For other investments, fair value is estimated by using the current market value of similar instruments or by reference to the

42



discounted cash flows of the underlying net assets. Gains and losses arising from the change in the fair value of available-for-sale investments are recognized directly in Fair value and Other Reserves.

Available-for-sale investments comprise: (1) highly liquid, interest-bearing investments with maturities at acquisition of longer than 3 months, which are regarded as current available-for-sale investments, liquid assets, (2) similar types of investments as in category (1), but with maturities at acquisition of less than 3 months, which are regarded as current available-for-sale investments, cash equivalents. The remaining part of the available-for-sale investments portfolio is classified as non-current. See Note 38 for details of these investments.

Following the changes in IFRS on hedge accounting rules (IAS 39(R) effective from January 1, 2005, the Group has revised its method of hedging foreign exchange risks to ensure hedge accounting treatment under the new rules. As IAS 39(R) changes are retrospective for the Group as an existing IFRS user, the reserves of cash flow hedges recorded in equity at the end of 2003 and 2004, that would not qualify for hedge accounting under IAS 39(R), are reclassified to profit and loss account, which impacts on the closing balances of cash flow hedge reserves. The retrospective implementation of this change increased 2004 and 2003 net sales by EUR 104 million and EUR 78 million, respectively, and increased 2004 operating profit by EUR 58 million and decreased 2003 operating profit by EUR 10 million. More information on the adoption of IAS 39(R) is available in Note 1 and Note 2.

45



In order to ensure that amounts deferred in the cash flow hedging reserve represent only the effective portion of gains and losses on properly designated hedges of future transactions that remain highly probable at the balance sheet date, Nokia has adopted a process under which all derivative gains and losses are initially recognized in the profit and loss account. The appropriate reserve balance is calculated at the end of each period and posted to the Hedging Reserve.

The Group continuously reviews the underlying cash flows and the hedges allocated thereto, to ensure that the amounts transferred to the Hedging Reserve during the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 do not include gains/losses on forward exchange contracts that have been designated to hedge forecasted sales or purchases that are no longer expected to occur. Because of the number of transactions undertaken during each period and the process used to calculate the reserve balance, separate disclosure of the transfers of gains and losses to and from the reserve would be impractical.

All of the net fair value gains or losses recorded in the Fair value and other reserve at December 31, 2005 on open forward foreign exchange contracts which hedge anticipated future foreign currency sales or purchases are transferred from the Hedging Reserve to the profit and loss account when the forecasted foreign currency cash flows occur, at various dates up to 1 year from the balance sheet date.

23. The shares of the Parent Company

 See Note 15 to the financial statements of the Parent Company.

24. Share-based payment

 The Group has several equity based incentive programs for employees, in which management also participates. The programs include performance share plans, stock option plans and restricted share plans.

The equity-based incentive grants are generally forfeited, if the employment relationship with the Group terminates, and they are conditional upon the fulfillment of the performance and such other conditions, as determined in the relevant plan rules.

Stock options

The Group's outstanding stock option plans currently include the so called "Global plans" launched in 2001, 2003 and 2005. These plans have been approved by the Annual General Meeting in the year of the launch of the plan.

Under these plans, each stock option entitles the holder to subscribe for one new Nokia share with a par value of EUR 0.06 each. In the 2001 stock option plan the stock options are transferable and the stock options under the 2003 and 2005 plans are non-transferable by the participants. All of the stock options have a quarterly staggered vesting schedule, as specified in the table below. The exercise prices are determined at the time of the grant, on a quarterly basis equalling the trade volume weighted average price of the Nokia share on the Helsinki Stock Exchange during the trading days of the first whole week of the second month (i.e. February, May, August or November) of the respective calendar quarter, when the sub-category of the stock option is denominated.

The exercises based on the stock options issued under the 2001, 2003 and 2005 stock option plans are settled with newly issued shares which will entitle the holder to a dividend for the financial year in which the subscription occurs. Other shareholder rights commence on the date on which the shares subscribed for are registered with the Finnish Trade Register.

Pursuant to the stock options issued, an aggregate maximum number of 144,495,187 new shares were authorized for subscription representing EUR 8,669,711 of the share capital and approximately 3% of the total number of votes on December 31, 2005. During 2005 the exercise of 125,240 options resulted in the issuance of 125,240 new shares and an increase of the share capital of the Group by EUR 7,514.40.

There were no other stock options or convertible bonds outstanding as of December 31, 2005, which upon exercise would result in an increase of the share capital of the parent company.

The Group's current stock option plans (the so called "Global plans") have a vesting schedule with a 25% vesting 1 year after grant, and quarterly vesting thereafter, each representing 6.25% of the total grant. The grants vest fully in 4 years.

Other employee stock option plans

In addition to the plans discussed above, the Group has minor stock option plans for the Group's employees in the U.S. and Canada which do not result in an increase of the share capital of the Group and in which holders receive Nokia ADSs. The plans are settled with Nokia's existing shares, which are converted into ADS's. On the basis of these stock option plans the Group had 1.2 million stock options outstanding on December 31, 2005. Each stock option entitles the holder to receive the same amount of Nokia ADSs. The average exercise price of stock options under these plans is

47



USD 25.36. These stock options are included in the table below. Treasury shares are acquired by the Group to meet its obligations under employee stock compensation plans in the U.S. and Canada. When treasury shares are issued on exercise of stock options any gain or loss is recognized in share issue premium.

Nokia calculates the fair value of options using the Black Scholes model. The fair value of the stock options is estimated on the date of grants using the following assumptions:

 
  2005
  2004
  2003
Dividend yield   2.50%   2.44%   2.05%
Weighted average expected volatility   25.92%   33.00%   35.00%
Risk-free interest rate   2.16% - 3.09%   2.24% - 4.22%   2.20% - 3.70%
Weighted average risk-free interest rate   2.60%   3.07%   2.80%
Expected life (years)   3.59   3.20   3.60
Weighted average share price   13.20   11.84   14.53

Expected term of share options is estimated by observing general option holder behaviour and actual historical terms of Nokia stock option programs.

The assumption of the expected volatility has been set by reference to the implied volatility of options available on Nokia shares in the open market and in light of historical patterns of volatility.

Performance shares

The Group has granted performance shares under the 2004 and 2005 performance share plans, which have been approved by the Board of Directors. A valid authorization from the Annual General Meeting is required, when the plans are settled using the Company's newly issued shares or disposal of existing treasury shares. The Group may also settle the plans using shares purchased on the open market or in lieu of shares cash settlement. The Group introduced performance shares in 2004 as the main element to broad-based equity compensation program, to further emphasize the performance element in employees' long-term incentives. The performance shares represent a commitment by the Company to deliver Nokia shares to employees at a future point in time, subject to the company's fulfillment of pre-defined performance criteria. No performance shares will vest unless the Company's performance reaches at least one of the threshold levels measured by two independent, pre-defined performance criteria. For performance between the threshold and maximum performance levels the settlement follows a linear scale. Performance exceeding the maximum criteria does not increase the number of shares vesting. The maximum number of performance shares (Maximum Number) equals four times the number originally granted (Threshold Number). The criteria are calculated based on the Group's Average Annual Net Sales Growth and Earnings per Share ("EPS") Growth (basic) for the four year

49



performance period of the plan. For the 2004 plan the performance period consists of the fiscal years 2004 through 2007 and for the 2005 plan the years 2005 through 2008.

For both the 2004 and 2005 plans, if either of the required performance levels are achieved, the first settlement will take place after two years' interim measurement period and is limited to a maximum vesting equal to the Threshold Number. The second and final settlement, if any, will be after the close of the four year performance period. Any settlement made after the Interim Measurement Period, will be deducted from the final settlement after the full Performance Period.

The following tables give certain information about our 2004 and 2005 performance share plans.

A performance share represents the grant at threshold. At maximum performance, the settlement amounts to 4 times the number of shares originally granted at threshold.

In accordance with the plan rules, prior to vesting, the Group will determine the method by which the shares are obtained for delivery, which may also include cash settlement. Until the shares are transferred and delivered, the recipients will not have any shareholder rights, such as voting or dividend rights associated with respect to the performance shares.

No performance shares vested during the year. Based on the performance of the Group during the Interim Measurement Period 2004-2005, under the 2004 Performance Share Plan, both performance criteria were met and as such 3.68 million shares equalling the threshold number are expected to vest in 2006. The shares will vest as of the date of the Annual General Meeting of the Group on March 30, 2006 and the settlement will take place as soon as practicable after vesting.

Restricted shares

Since 2003, the Group has granted restricted shares to recruit, retain, reward and motivate selected high potential employees, who are critical to the future success of the Group. The restricted share plans 2003, 2004 and 2005 have been approved by the Board of Directors. A valid authorization from the Annual General Meeting is required when the plans are settled using the Company's newly issued shares or disposal of existing own shares. The Group may also settle the plans using shares purchased on the open market. The number of participants in the restricted share plans is approximately 500. All of our restricted share grants have a restriction period of three years after grant, after which period the granted shares will vest. As soon as practicable after vesting, they will be transferred and delivered to the recipients. Until shares are transferred and delivered, the recipients will not have any shareholder rights, such as voting or dividend rights associated with these restricted shares.

Total compensation cost related to unvested awards

As of December 31, 2005, there was EUR 287 million of total deferred compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the company's plans, including deferred compensation recorded related to other social costs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.89 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was EUR 150 million, EUR 242 million and EUR 300 million, respectively.

In 2005, the corporate tax rate in Finland reduced from 29% to 26%. The decrease of tax rate had no impact in deferred taxes in 2005 (a reduction of EUR 26 million in net deferred tax assets in 2004).

During 2004, the Group analyzed the majority of its future foreign investment plans with respect to foreign investments. As a result of this analysis, the Group concluded that it could no longer represent that all foreign earnings may be permanently reinvested. Accordingly, the Group recorded the recognition of a EUR 68 million deferred tax liability during 2005 (EUR 60 million in 2004).

At December 31, 2005 the Group had loss carry forwards of EUR 71 million (EUR 67 million in 2004) for which no deferred tax asset was recognized due to uncertainty of utilization of these loss carry forwards. These loss carry forwards will expire in years 2006 through 2011.

28. Short-term borrowings

 Short-term borrowings consist primarily of borrowings from banks denominated in different foreign currencies. The weighted average interest rate at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was 4.68% and 3.07%, respectively.

The IPR provision is based on estimated future settlements for asserted and unasserted past IPR infringements. Final resolution of IPR claims generally occurs over several periods. This results in varying usage of the provision year to year.

Other provisions include provisions for non-cancelable purchase commitments, provision for pension and other social costs on share-based awards and provision for losses on projects in progress.

The amounts above represent the maximum principal amount of commitments and contingencies.

Property under mortgages given as collateral for our own commitments include mortgages given to the Finnish National Board of Customs as a general indemnity of EUR 18 million in 2005 (EUR 18 million in 2004).

Assets pledged for the Group's own commitments include available-for-sale investments of EUR 10 million in 2005 (EUR 11 million of available-for-sale investments in 2004).

Other guarantees include guarantees of Nokia's performance of EUR 234 million in 2005 (EUR 223 million in 2004). However, EUR 182 million of these guarantees are provided to certain Networks' customers in the form of bank guarantees, standby letters of credit and other similar

56



instruments. These instruments entitle the customer to claim payment as compensation for non-performance by Nokia of its obligations under network infrastructure supply agreements. Depending on the nature of the instrument, compensation is payable either immediately upon request, or subject to independent verification of nonperformance by Nokia.

Guarantees for loans on behalf of other companies of EUR 0 million in 2005 (EUR 3 million in 2004) represent guarantees relating to payment by certain Networks' customers under specified loan facilities between such customers and their creditors. Nokia's obligations under such guarantees are released upon the earlier of expiration of the guarantee or early payment by the customer.

Financing commitments of EUR 13 million in 2005 (EUR 56 million in 2004) are available under loan facilities negotiated with customers of Networks. Availability of the amounts is dependent upon the borrower's continuing compliance with stated financial and operational covenants and compliance with other administrative terms of the facility. The loan facilities are primarily available to fund capital expenditure relating to purchases of network infrastructure equipment and services and to fund working capital.

The Group has been named as defendant along with certain of its senior executives in a class action complaint in the United States relating to certain public statements about its product portfolio and related financial projections in early 2004. The Group does not believe that the claim has merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.

The Group is party to routine litigation incidental to the normal conduct of business. In the opinion of management the outcome of and liabilities in excess of what has been provided for related to these or other proceedings, in the aggregate, are not likely to be material to the financial condition or results of operations.

As of December 31, 2005, the Group had purchase commitments of EUR 1,919 million (EUR 1,236 million in 2004) relating to inventory purchase obligations, primarily for purchases in 2006.

33. Leasing contracts

 The Group leases office, manufacturing and warehouse space under various non-cancellable operating leases. Certain contracts contain renewal options for various periods of time.

The future costs for non-cancellable leasing contracts are as follows:

34. Related party transactions

 Nokia Pension Foundation is a separate legal entity that manages and holds in trust the assets for the Group's Finnish employee benefit plans; these assets include 0.009% of Nokia shares.

At December 31, 2005, the Group had borrowings amounting to EUR 62 million (EUR 62 million in 2004) from Nokia Unterstützungskasse GmbH, the Group's German pension fund, which is a separate legal entity.

The Group recorded net rental expense of EUR 2 million in 2005 (EUR 2 million in 2004 and EUR 2 million in 2003) pertaining to a sale-leaseback transaction with the Nokia Pension Foundation involving certain buildings and a lease of the underlying land.

There were no loans granted to the members of the Group Executive Board and Board of Directors at December 31, 2005 or 2004.

Retirement benefits of certain Group Executive Board Members

Jorma Ollila and Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo can as part of their service contract retire at the age of 60 with full retirement benefit, should they be employed by Nokia at the time. The full retirement benefit is calculated as if the executive had continued his service with Nokia through the statutory retirement age of 65. Mr. Ollila's service contract will terminate as of June 1, 2006. Following the current contract, he will not be eligible to receive any additional retirement benefits from Nokia after that date. Pekka Ala-Pietilä had an equal retirement arrangement during his employment at Nokia and he will not receive any additional retirement benefits from Nokia after termination of employment. Hallstein Moerk, following his arrangement with a previous employer, has a retirement benefit of 65% of his pensionable salary beginning at the age of 62. Early retirement is possible at the age of 55 with reductions in benefits.

Simon Beresford-Wylie participates in the Nokia International Employee Benefit Plan (NIEBP). The NIEBP is a defined contribution retirement arrangement provided to some Nokia employees on international assignments. The contributions to NIEBP are funded two-thirds by Nokia and one-third by the employee. Because Mr. Beresford-Wylie also participates in the Finnish TEL system, the company contribution to NIEBP is 1.3% of annual earnings.

Changes in the Nokia Group Executive Board

On February 15, 2006 the Group announced that Pertti Korhonen, Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President, Technology Platforms, and a member of the Group Executive Board will resign from the Group Executive Board as of April 1, 2006. He will also resign from Nokia. Niklas Savander has been appointed as Executive Vice President, Technology Platforms and a member of the Group Executive Board as of April 1, 2006.

Preliminary Agreement with SANYO

On February 14, 2006, the Group and SANYO Electric Co., Ltd announced a preliminary agreement with intent to form a new global company comprised of their respective CDMA mobile phone businesses—separate from the parent companies. The relevant assets from both companies will be contributed or made available for the new entity. Final agreements are expected to be signed in the second quarter of 2006, with the new business expected to commence operations in the third

62



quarter 2006, provided that the due diligence has been completed and all necessary regulatory approvals obtained.

Acquisition of Intellisync

In February 2006, the Group acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common shares of Intellisync (NASDAQ: SYNC) for cash consideration of approximately EUR 368 million. Intellisync delivers wireless email and other applications over an array of devices and application platforms across carrier networks. The Group believes it is positioned to deliver the industry's most complete offering for the development, deployment and management of mobility in the enterprise and the acquisition will enhance the Group's ability to respond to customer needs in this fast growing market. Intellisync will be integrated into the Enterprise Solutions business upon acquisition and its results of operations from that date will be included in the Group's consolidated financial statements The purchase price allocation is being performed with the assistance of a third party.

Assets acquired are expected to be EUR 51 million and liabilities EUR 17 million with a majority of the excess recognised as goodwill. The principal items that are expected to generate goodwill are the value of the synergies between Intellisync and the Group and the acquired workforce, neither of which qualifies as a separate amortizable intangible asset. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Group does not expect to write off any in-process R&D or dispose of any of the acquired operations.

For its recently completed fiscal year ended July 31, 2005 and quarter ended October 31, 2005, Intellisync reported revenues of USD 39 million (EUR 31 million) and USD 10 million (EUR 8 million), respectively, and net loss of USD 13 million (EUR 10 million) and USD 8 million (EUR 7 million), respectively. At July 31, 2005 and October 31, 2005, Intellisync's total assets were USD 161 million (EUR 133 million) and USD 156 million (EUR 130 million), respectively, and shareholders' equity was USD 82 million (EUR 68 million) and USD 79 million (EUR 66 million), respectively.

Telsim settlement

As previously agreed with Telsim and the Turkish Savings and Deposit Insurance Fund (TMSF), which currently controls and manages Telsim's assets, the Group will receive a settlement payment upon completion of the sale of Telsim's assets for losses the Group incurred in 2001. The Group's share of the announced purchase price expected to be received during the first half of 2006 is 7.5% of the purchase price, or USD 341 million (EUR 285 million) and is subject to negotiations.

38. Risk management

General risk management principles

Nokia's overall risk management concept is based on visibility of the key risks preventing Nokia from reaching its business objectives. This covers all risk areas; strategic, operational, financial and hazard risks. Risk management at Nokia is a systematic and pro-active way to analyze, review and manage all opportunities, threats and risks related to Nokia?s objectives rather than to solely eliminate risks.

The principles documented in Nokia?s Risk Policy and accepted by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors require risk management and its elements to be integrated into business processes. One of the main principles is that the business or function owner is also the risk owner, however, it is everyone's responsibility at Nokia to identify risks preventing us from reaching our objectives.

Key risks are reported to the business and Group level management to create assurance on business risks and to enable prioritization of risk management implementation at Nokia. In addition to general principles there are specific risk management policies covering, for example, treasury and customer finance risks.

Financial risks

The key financial targets for Nokia are growth, profitability, operational efficiency and a strong balance sheet. The objective for the Treasury function is twofold: to guarantee cost-efficient funding for the Group at all times, and to identify, evaluate and hedge financial risks in close co-operation with the business groups. There is a strong focus in Nokia on creating shareholder value. The Treasury function supports this aim by minimizing the adverse effects caused by fluctuations in the financial markets on the profitability of the underlying businesses and by managing the balance sheet structure of the Group.

64



Nokia has Treasury Centers in Geneva, Singapore/Beijing and New York/Sao Paolo, and a Corporate Treasury unit in Espoo. This international organization enables Nokia to provide the Group companies with financial services according to local needs and requirements.

The Treasury function is governed by policies approved by top management. Treasury Policy provides principles for overall financial risk management and determines the allocation of responsibilities for financial risk management in Nokia. Operating Policies cover specific areas such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, use of derivative financial instruments, as well as liquidity and credit risk. Nokia is risk averse in its Treasury activities. Business Groups have detailed Standard Operating Procedures supplementing the Treasury Policy in financial risk management related issues.

a)    Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

Nokia operates globally and is thus exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency combinations. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities together with expected cash flows from highly probable purchases and sales give rise to foreign exchange exposures. These transaction exposures are managed against various local currencies because of Nokia's substantial production and sales outside the Eurozone.

Due to the changes in the business environment, currency combinations may also change within the financial year. The most significant non-euro sales currencies during the year were US dollar (USD), Chinese yuan (CNY) and UK pound sterling (GBP). In general, depreciation of another currency relative to the euro has an adverse effect on Nokia's sales and operating profit, while appreciation of another currency has a positive effect, with the exception of Japanese yen (JPY), being the only significant foreign currency in which Nokia has more purchases than sales.

The following chart shows the break-down by currency of the underlying net foreign exchange transaction exposure as of December 31, 2005 (in some of the currencies, especially the US dollar, Nokia has both substantial sales as well as cost, which have been netted in the chart).

GRAPHIC

According to the foreign exchange policy guidelines of the Group, material transaction foreign exchange exposures are hedged. Exposures are mainly hedged with derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign exchange options. The majority of financial instruments hedging foreign exchange risk have a duration of less than a year. The Group does not hedge forecasted foreign currency cash flows beyond two years.

65



Nokia uses the Value-at-Risk ("VaR") methodology to assess the foreign exchange risk related to the Treasury management of the Group exposures. The VaR figure represents the potential fair value losses for a portfolio resulting from adverse changes in market factors using a specified time period and confidence level based on historical data. To correctly take into account the non-linear price function of certain derivative instruments, Nokia uses Monte Carlo simulation. Volatilities and correlations are calculated from a one-year set of daily data. The VaR figures assume that the forecasted cash flows materialize as expected. The VaR figures for the Group transaction foreign exchange exposure, including hedging transactions and Treasury exposures for netting and risk management purposes, with a one-week horizon and 95% confidence level, are shown in Table 1, below.

At December 31   12.4   12.7
Average for the year   10.2   14
Range for the year   3.3-29.3   1.6-26.9

Since Nokia has subsidiaries outside the Euro zone, the euro-denominated value of the shareholders' equity of Nokia is also exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates. Equity changes caused by movements in foreign exchange rates are shown as a translation difference in the Group consolidation. Nokia uses, from time to time, foreign exchange contracts and foreign currency denominated loans to hedge its equity exposure arising from foreign net investments.

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk either through market value fluctuations of balance sheet items (i.e. price risk) or through changes in interest income or expenses (i.e. re-investment risk). Interest rate risk mainly arises through interest-bearing liabilities and assets. Estimated future changes in cash flows and balance sheet structure also expose the Group to interest rate risk.

Treasury is responsible for monitoring and managing the interest rate exposure of the Group. Due to the current balance sheet structure of Nokia, emphasis is placed on managing the interest rate risk of investments.

Nokia uses the VaR methodology to assess and measure the interest rate risk in the investment portfolio, which is benchmarked against a combination of three-month and one-to-three-year investment horizon. The VaR figure represents the potential fair value losses for a portfolio resulting from adverse changes in market factors using a specified time period and confidence level based on historical data. For interest rate risk VaR, Nokia uses variance-covariance methodology. Volatilities and correlations are calculated from a one-year set of daily data. The VaR-based interest rate risk figures for an investment portfolio with a one-week horizon and 95% confidence level are shown in Table 2, below.

Equity price risk

Nokia has certain strategic minority investments in publicly traded companies. These investments are classified as available-for-sale. The fair value of the equity investments at December 31, 2005 was EUR 8 million (EUR 7 million in 2004).

There are currently no outstanding derivative financial instruments designated as hedges of these equity investments. The VaR figures for equity investments, shown in Table 3, below, have been calculated using the same principles as for interest rate risk.

In addition to the listed equity holdings, Nokia invests in private equity through Nokia Venture Funds. The fair value of these available-for-sale equity investments at December 31, 2005 was USD 177 million (USD 142 million in 2004). Nokia is exposed to equity price risk on social security costs relating to stock compensation plans. Nokia hedges this risk by entering into cash settled equity swap and option contracts.

b)    Credit risk

Network operators in some markets sometimes require their suppliers to arrange or provide term financing in relation to infrastructure projects. Nokia has maintained a financing policy aimed at close cooperation with banks, financial institutions and Export Credit Agencies to support selected customers in their financing of infrastructure investments. Nokia actively mitigates, market conditions permitting, this exposure by arrangements with these institutions and investors.

Credit risks related to customer financing are systematically analyzed, monitored and managed by Nokia's Customer Finance organization, reporting to the Chief Financial Officer. Credit risks are approved and monitored by Nokia's Credit Committee along principles defined in the Company's credit policy and according to the credit approval process. The Credit Committee consists of the CFO, Group Controller, Head of Group Treasury and Head of Nokia Customer Finance.

At the end of December 31, 2005, our long-term loans to customers and other third parties totaled EUR 63 million (no outstanding loans in 2004), while there was nil financial guarantees given on

67



behalf of third parties (EUR 3 million in 2004). In addition, we had financing commitments totaling EUR 13 million, which does not, however, increase total outstanding and committed credit risk from EUR 63 million, as it is available only provided that outstanding loan EUR 56 million is repaid. Total structured financing (outstanding and committed) stood at EUR 63 million (EUR 59 million in 2004).

The term structured financing portfolio at December 31, 2005 was:

The term structured financing portfolio at December 31, 2005 mainly consists of outstanding and committed customer financing to a network operator.

Financial credit risk

Financial instruments contain an element of risk of the counterparties being unable to meet their obligations. This risk is measured and monitored by the Treasury function. The Group minimizes financial credit risk by limiting its counterparties to a sufficient number of major banks and financial institutions, as well as through entering into netting arrangements, which gives the Company the right to offset in the case that the counterparty would not be able to fulfill the obligations.

Direct credit risk represents the risk of loss resulting from counterparty default in relation to on-balance sheet products. The fixed income and money market investment decisions are based on strict creditworthiness criteria. The outstanding investments are also constantly monitored by the Treasury. Nokia does not expect the counterparties to default given their high credit quality.

c)     Liquidity risk

 Nokia guarantees a sufficient liquidity at all times by efficient cash management and by investing in liquid interest bearing securities. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying business Treasury also aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed and uncommitted credit lines available. At the end of December 31, 2005 the committed facility totaled USD 2.0 billion. The committed credit facility is intended to be used for U.S. and Euro Commercial Paper Programs back up purposes. The commitment fee on the facility is 0.045% per annum.

The most significant existing funding programs include:

69


None of the above programs have been used to a significant degree in 2005.

Nokia's international creditworthiness facilitates the efficient use of international capital and loan markets. The ratings of Nokia from credit rating agencies have not changed during the year. The ratings as at December 31, 2005 were:

Short-term   Standard & Poor's   A-1
    Moody's   P-1
Long-term   Standard & Poor's   A
    Moody's   A1

Hazard risk

Nokia strives to ensure that all financial, reputation and other losses to the Group and our customers are minimized through preventive risk management measures or purchase of insurance. Insurance is purchased for risks, which cannot be internally managed. Nokia's Insurance & Risk Finance function's objective is to ensure that Group's hazard risks, whether related to physical assets (e.g. buildings) or intellectual assets (e.g. Nokia) or potential liabilities (e.g. product liability) are optimally insured.

Nokia purchases both annual insurance policies for specific risks as well as multi-line and/or multi-year insurance policies, where available.
