OLLI-PEKKA KALLASVUO, NOKIA CEO:

“Nokia’s excellent fourth quarter contributed to a year of high growth and increased profitability for the company, while our industry leading product portfolio drove our device business to an estimated 40% market share in the fourth quarter. At the same time we again increased our quarterly device margins, allowing Nokia to continue to invest for innovation and growth.

 

It was a year of important strategic initiatives by Nokia, with Nokia Siemens Networks starting operations, our internet services effort taking shape around Ovi, and the announcement of the pending acquisition of NAVTEQ. Facing a market that remains intensely competitive, we are continuing to improve our leading device portfolio as well as execution at Nokia Siemens Networks.

·      Nokia continues to target an increase in its market share in mobile devices in 2008.

·      Nokia continues to expect very slight growth for the mobile and fixed infrastructure and related services market in euro terms in 2008.

·      Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks continue to target that Nokia Siemens Networks will grow faster than the market in 2008.

·      Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks cost synergy target for Nokia Siemens Networks is to achieve substantially all of the EUR 2.0 billion of targeted annual cost synergies by the end of 2008, as previously announced.

FOURTH QUARTER 2007 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

(Comparisons are given to the fourth quarter 2006 results, unless otherwise indicated.)

 

As of April 1, 2007, Nokia results include those of Nokia Siemens Networks on a fully consolidated basis. Nokia Siemens Networks, a company jointly owned by Nokia and Siemens, is comprised of Nokia’s former Networks business group and Siemens’ carrier-related operations for fixed and mobile networks. Accordingly, the results of the Nokia Group and Nokia Siemens Networks for the fourth quarter 2007and full year 2007 are not directly comparable to results for the fourth quarter 2006 and the full year 2006, respectively. Nokia’s fourth quarter 2006 and full year 2006 results included Nokia’s former Networks business group only.

 

Nokia Group

Nokia’s fourth quarter 2007 net sales increased 34% to EUR 15.7 billion, compared to EUR 11.7 billion in the fourth quarter 2006. At constant currency, group net sales would have been up 40% year on year.

 

Nokia’s fourth quarter 2007 operating profit increased 64% to EUR 2.5 billion (including the EUR 13 million net negative impact of special items), compared to EUR 1.5 billion in the fourth quarter 2006 (including a negative special item of EUR 39 million). The special items for the fourth quarter 2007 included a EUR 119 million restructuring charge and other one-time items in Nokia Siemens Networks, a EUR 53 million gain on sale of real estate in Nokia Siemens Networks, and a EUR 53 million gain on a business transfer in Group Common Functions. Nokia’s fourth quarter 2007 operating margin was 15.9% (13.0%), including the EUR 13 million net negative impact of the special items. Excluding the special items, Nokia’s fourth quarter 2007 operating margin was 15.9% (12.6%).

 

Operating cash flow for the fourth quarter 2007 was EUR 2.7 billion, compared to EUR 1.7 billion for the fourth quarter 2006. As of December 31, 2007, our net debt-to-equity ratio (gearing) was -61% (-68% as of December 31, 2006).

 

Mobile devices

The combined mobile device volume of our Mobile Phones, Multimedia and Enterprise Solutions business groups for the fourth quarter 2007 was a record 133.5 million units, up 20% sequentially and 27% year on year. Overall industry volumes for the fourth quarter 2007 reached an estimated 336 million units, up 17% sequentially and 16% year on year.

 

In converged devices, according to Nokia estimates, the total industry volume reached approximately 40.1 million units for the fourth quarter 2007, compared to an estimated 22.1 million units in the fourth quarter 2006. Nokia’s own converged device volumes for the fourth quarter 2007 grew to 18.8 million units, compared to 11.1 million units in the fourth quarter 2006. Nokia shipped well over 11 million Nokia Nseries devices and over 2 million Nokia Eseries devices during the fourth quarter 2007.

 

The following chart sets out, by geographic area, Nokia’s mobile device volumes for the periods indicated, and provides year on year and sequential growth rates.

Based on our preliminary market estimate, Nokia’s market share for the fourth quarter 2007 was 40%, compared with 39% in the third quarter 2007 and 36% in the fourth quarter 2006. On a year on year basis, Nokia gained market share in every region except North America and Latin America, where market share declined. On a sequential basis, Nokia’s market share increased substantially in Middle East & Africa, with modest gains in Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. This was partially offset by a market share decline in North America, as well as a slight decline in China. Nokia’s device volumes for the fourth quarter 2007 continued to be somewhat constrained by component shortages, linked to the high demand for Nokia products and seasonal

industry growth in the fourth quarter. These component constraints have started to ease in the first quarter 2008, as we work with our suppliers to get the necessary supply to match the demand for our products.

 

Nokia’s average selling price (ASP) in the fourth quarter 2007 was EUR 83, down from EUR 89 in the fourth quarter 2006 and up from EUR 82 in the third quarter 2007. The lower year on year ASP in the fourth quarter 2007 was primarily the result of the negative effect of a significantly higher proportion of entry level device sales and the weaker US dollar on Nokia net sales. The slight sequential increase in ASP in the fourth quarter 2007 reflected a greater percentage of sales of recently launched mid and high end devices, which offset continued robust sales from the entry-level segment.

 

Mobile Phones

Fourth quarter 2007 net sales grew 5% to EUR 7.4 billion, compared with EUR 7.1 billion in the fourth quarter 2006. Strong overall volume growth was partially offset by a significant ASP decline year on year, driven primarily by a higher proportion of entry-level sales. Net sales year on year growth was strongest in Middle East & Africa and Asia-Pacific, followed by China. Net sales year on year were down significantly in North America and Latin America and to a lesser degree in Europe.

 

Mobile Phones operating profit grew 48% to EUR 1.9 billion, compared with EUR 1.3 billion in the fourth quarter 2006, with an operating margin of 25.0% (17.8%). The increase in operating profit for the fourth quarter 2007 was driven primarily by an improved gross margin, compared to the fourth quarter 2006. The increase in Mobile Phones gross margin was primarily due to newer and more profitable devices shipping in volumes, especially in the mid-range.

 

Multimedia

Fourth quarter 2007 net sales increased 42% to EUR 3.0 billion, compared with EUR 2.1 billion in the fourth quarter 2006. Multimedia net sales were up in all regions, with year on year growth strongest in North America and Latin America. However, Latin America and North America net sales continued to be relatively small. Multimedia year on year net sales growth was driven by increased volumes of Nokia Nseries multimedia computers, especially the Nokia N95, Nokia N95 8GB and Nokia N73.

 

Multimedia fourth quarter operating profit grew 106% to EUR 670 million, compared with EUR 326 million in the fourth quarter 2006, with an operating margin of 22.1% (15.3%). Operating profit growth in the fourth quarter 2007 compared to the fourth quarter 2006 was driven by strong net sales growth, increased gross margins from a solid product portfolio and improved operating expense control.

 

Enterprise Solutions

Fourth quarter 2007 net sales increased 120% to EUR 670 million, compared with EUR 305 million in the fourth quarter 2006. Net sales were up significantly year on year in all regions except China and North America, where net sales declined. Net sales were driven primarily by strong volume growth in Enterprise Solutions device business, especially from the Nokia E65, Nokia E90 and Nokia E51, compared to the fourth quarter 2006.

 

In the fourth quarter 2007, Enterprise Solutions operating profit was EUR 118 million, compared with an operating loss of EUR 64 million in the fourth quarter 2006, with an operating margin of 17.6% (-21.0%). The significantly improved operating performance for the fourth quarter 2007 reflected strong net sales growth, especially in devices, and significantly improved operating expense control compared to the fourth quarter 2006.

 

Nokia Siemens Networks

Fourth quarter 2007 net sales were EUR 4.6 billion. The fourth quarter 2007 results of Nokia Siemens Networks are not directly comparable to the fourth quarter of 2006, which included Nokia’s former Networks business group only. However, net sales were up 25% compared to the third quarter of 2007, primarily reflecting seasonally strong end of year expenditures by operators in the fourth quarter 2007 and a favorable outcome from the assessment of certain acquired contracts.

Nokia Siemens Networks fourth quarter operating profit was EUR 0 million. Nokia Siemens Networks operating margin of 0% improved sequentially from -3.3% in the third quarter 2007. The reported fourth quarter 2007 operating profit included a charge of EUR 119 million related to Nokia Siemens Networks restructuring costs and other one time items and a gain on sale of real estate of EUR 53 million. The operating profit for the fourth quarter 2007, excluding these special items, was EUR 66 million, with an operating margin of 1.4%. The operating profit in the fourth quarter 2007 also included EUR 129 million for intangible asset amortization and other Purchase Price Accounting related items. Fourth quarter 2007 operating margin was 4.3%, excluding both the special items and the Purchase Price Accounting related items. Third quarter 2007 operating margin           was -1.0% excluding special items, and was 3.0%, excluding both the special items and the Purchase Price Accounting related items. The main factor for the sequential improvement in the margin in the fourth quarter 2007 was the higher sequential net sales, driving lower operating expenses as a percent of net sales.

NOKIA IN JANUARY – DECEMBER 2007

(Comparisons are given to 2006 results, unless otherwise indicated.)

 

As of April 1, 2007, Nokia results include those of Nokia Siemens Networks on a fully consolidated basis. Nokia Siemens Networks, a company jointly owned by Nokia and Siemens, is comprised of Nokia’s former Networks business group and Siemens’ carrier-related operations for fixed and mobile networks. Accordingly, the results of the Nokia Group and Nokia Siemens Networks for 2007 are not directly comparable to results for 2006. Nokia’s 2006 results included Nokia’s former Networks business group only.

 

Nokia Group

For 2007, Nokia’s net sales increased 24% to EUR 51.1 billion, compared to EUR 41.1 billion in 2006. At constant currency, group net sales would have grown 28% in 2007.

 

In 2007, Europe accounted for 39% of Nokia’s net sales (38%), Asia-Pacific 22% (20%), China 12% (13%), North America 5% (7%), Latin America 8% (9%), and Middle East & Africa 14% (13%). The 10 markets in which Nokia generated the greatest net sales in 2007 were, in descending order of magnitude, China, India, Germany,  the UK, the US, Russia, Spain, Italy, Indonesia and Brazil, together representing approximately 50% of total net sales in 2007. In comparison, the 10 markets in which Nokia generated the greatest net sales in 2006 were China, the US, India, the UK, Germany, Russia, Italy, Spain, Indonesia and Brazil, together representing approximately 51% of total net sales in 2006.

 

Nokia’s gross margin in 2007 was 33.9%, compared to 32.5% in 2006. This improvement in Nokia’s gross margin primarily reflected an improving device portfolio across the range, especially in the Mobile Phones business group. The improved gross margin from the device business was partly off-set by a weaker gross margin in Nokia Siemens Networks, compared to the gross margin in Nokia’s Networks business group in 2006. The 2007 results of Nokia Siemens Networks are not directly comparable to 2006, as the first quarter 2007 and full year 2006 included Nokia’s former Networks business group only.

 

Nokia’s operating profit for 2007 increased 46% to EUR 8.0 billion, including net positive special items of EUR 858 million (operating profit of EUR 5.5 billion in 2006, including net positive special items of EUR 171 million), representing a 2007 operating margin of 15.6% (13.3%). Operating profit in Mobile Phones increased 33% to EUR 5.4 billion (operating profit of EUR 4.1 billion in 2006), representing a 2007 operating margin of 21.7% (16.6%). Operating profit in Multimedia increased to EUR 2.2 billion (operating profit of EUR 1.3 billion in 2006), representing a 2007 operating margin of 21.2% (16.7%). Enterprise Solutions operating profit was EUR 267 million (operating loss of EUR 258 million in 2006), representing a 2007 operating margin of 12.9% (-25.0%). Nokia Siemens Networks had an operating loss of EUR 1.3 billion, including net negative special items of EUR 1 069 million, representing an operating margin of -9.8%.

 

Research and development expenses were EUR 5.6 billion in 2007, up 45% from EUR 3.9 billion in 2006. The increase in research and development spending was primarily due to the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks, which added Siemens’ carrier-related operations and associated research and development expenses. Research and development expenses for 2007 also included special items of EUR 439 million. Research and development expenses have been higher as a percent of sales for both Nokia’s former Networks business group and Nokia Siemens Networks than for the Nokia Group. Research and development costs represented 11.1% of Nokia Group net sales in 2007, up from 9.5% in 2006. Research and development expenses for the device business represented 6.6% of its net sales in 2007, down from 7.1% in 2006, reflecting continued efforts to gain efficiencies in our investments. As of December 31, 2007, Nokia employed 30 415 people in research and development, representing approximately 27% of the group’s total workforce, and had a strong research and development presence in 10 countries.

 

In 2007, Nokia selling and marketing expenses were EUR 4.4 billion, up 32% from EUR 3.3 billion in 2006, reflecting increased selling and marketing spend in all business groups to support new product introductions and the higher level of overall Nokia net sales. The increased selling and marketing expense also was impacted by the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks, which added Siemens’ carrier-related operations and associated selling and marketing expenses. Nokia selling and marketing expenses for 2007 also included special items of EUR 149 million. Selling and marketing expenses have been higher as a percent of sales for both Nokia’s former Networks business group and Nokia Siemens Networks than for the Nokia Group. Selling and marketing expenses for the Nokia Group represented 8.6% of its net sales in 2007, up from 8.1% in 2006. Selling and marketing expenses for the device business represented 7.5% of its net sales in 2007, down from 7.9% in 2006, reflecting continued efforts to gain efficiencies in our investments.

 

Administrative and general expenses were EUR 1.2 billion in 2007, compared to EUR 0.7 billion in 2006. Administrative and general expenses were equal to 2.3% of net sales in 2007 (1.6%). Administrative and general expenses for 2007 also included special items of EUR 146 million.

 

Group Common Functions operating profit totaled EUR 1 362 million in 2007 (Group Common Functions expenses totaled EUR 481 million in 2006), including a EUR 1 879 million non-taxable gain on the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks, EUR 75 million real estate gains and a EUR 53 million gain on a business transfer.

 

Net financial income was EUR 239 million in 2007 (EUR 207 million).

 

11



 

 

 

 

Profit before tax and minority interests was EUR 8 268 million (EUR 5 723 million). Net profit totaled EUR 7 205 million (EUR 4 306 million). Earnings per share increased to EUR 1.85 (basic) and EUR 1.83 (diluted), compared to EUR 1.06 (basic) and EUR 1.05 (diluted) in 2006.

 

Operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2007 was EUR 7.9 billion (EUR 4.5 billion) and total combined cash and other liquid assets were EUR 11.8 billion (EUR 8.5 billion). As of December 31, 2007, our net debt-to-equity ratio (gearing) was -61% (-68% as of December 31, 2006). In 2007, capital expenditure amounted to EUR 715 million (EUR 650 million).

 

Mobile devices

In our Mobile Phones, Multimedia and Enterprise Solutions business groups, combined mobile device volumes were up 26% in 2007, compared to 2006, reaching 437 million units – a new annual volume record for Nokia. Market volume for the same period was estimated at 1.14 billion units, an increase of 16%. Based on our preliminary market estimate, Nokia’s market share grew to 38% in 2007, compared to 36% in 2006.

 

In converged devices, according to Nokia estimates, the total industry volume reached approximately 122 million units in 2007, compared to an estimated 80 million units in 2006. Nokia’s own converged device volumes in 2007 grew to 60.5 million units, compared to 39.0 million units in 2006. In 2007, Nokia was the world’s largest manufacturer of cameras and music enabled devices, selling approximately 200 million camera devices and approximately 146 million music enabled devices. Nokia shipped approximately 38 million Nokia Nseries devices and approximately 7 million Nokia Eseries devices during 2007.

 

The following chart sets out, by geographic area, Nokia’s mobile device volumes for the periods indicated, and provides year on year growth rates.

We estimate Nokia was the market leader in Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America, as well as in some of the fastest growing markets of the world, including China, Middle East & Africa, South East Asia-Pacific, and India.

 

During 2007, Nokia gained device market share in all regions except North America and Latin America, where market share declined. In Middle East & Africa, Nokia had excellent market share gains in 2007. Nokia continued to benefit in Middle East & Africa from its brand, broad product portfolio and extensive distribution system.

 

Nokia’s significant market share gains in Asia-Pacific were primarily driven by our strong position in the fastest growing markets, such as India. In Asia-Pacific, Nokia continued to benefit from its brand, broad product portfolio and extensive distribution system.

 

In Europe, our market share was up significantly in 2007, increasing in most European markets, including France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain and the United Kingdom. In Europe, Nokia benefited from a strengthened and broad product portfolio.

 

In China, Nokia gained market share in 2007 driven by its firmly established and extensive distribution system, broad product portfolio, brand and strong market share in the entry level.

 

In Latin America, Nokia’s 2007 market share was down slightly. Strong share gains in markets such as Brazil were more than offset by a lower market share in Mexico. Nokia’s strengths in Latin America continued to be its strong entry-level product portfolio and improving mid-range offering.

 

In North America, Nokia’s market share declined in 2007. The lower market share in North America in 2007 was primarily driven by our much lower CDMA device volumes compared to 2006, as we effectively ramped down this business during the year.

Nokia’s device ASP in 2007 was EUR 86, declining 10% from EUR 96 in 2006. Industry ASPs also declined in 2007. Nokia’s lower ASP in 2007 compared to 2006 was primarily the result of a significantly higher proportion of entry level device sales where the industry growth has been strong and where Nokia has a leading share, and to a lesser extent by the negative effect of the weaker US dollar on Nokia net sales.

 

Mobile Phones

In the Mobile Phones business group, net sales in 2007 increased 1% to EUR 25.1 billion, compared to EUR 24.8 billion in 2006. At constant currency, Mobile Phones net sales would have increased 5% in 2007. Volume growth was strong, especially in the entry level and music optimized devices. Nokia was also able to capture incremental volumes with its strong logistics execution. Volume growth was largely offset by a significant ASP decline. Net sales increased strongest in Middle East & Africa and Asia-Pacific, followed by China. Net sales decreased in North America and, to a lesser extent, in Latin America. Net sales were practically on the same level in Europe.

 

Mobile Phones operating profit in 2007 increased 33% to EUR 5.4 billion (including negative special items of EUR 35 million), compared to EUR 4.1 billion in 2006 (including negative special items of EUR 142 million). The business group’s operating margin was 21.7% (16.6%). The increase in operating profit in 2007 was driven primarily by an improved gross margin, compared to 2006. The increase in Mobile Phones gross margin was primarily due to newer and more profitable devices shipping in volume across its range, especially in the mid-range commencing in the second quarter of 2007. Mobile Phones cost of sales was down 5.3% year on year and down 4.6 percentage points as a percent of net sales in 2007. This was driven primarily by a favorable product mix of higher margin products together with our continued and successful efforts to gain cost efficiencies in manufacturing, distribution and sourcing.

In the Multimedia business group, the net sales in 2007 increased 34% to EUR 10.5 billion, compared to EUR 7.9 billion in 2006. At constant currency, Multimedia net sales would have increased 39% in 2007. Net sales were driven by a robust converged device market supporting sales of Nokia Nseries multimedia computers during the year, led by the Nokia N70, Nokia N73 and Nokia N95. Net sales increased in all regions and were strongest in Latin America and North America, followed by China, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Middle East & Africa.

 

Multimedia’s operating profit in 2007 increased 69% to EUR 2.2 billion (including negative special items of
EUR 3 million), compared to EUR 1.3 billion in 2006. The business group’s operating margin was 21.2% (16.7%). The increase in operating profit primarily reflected the increase in net sales, driven by sales of Nseries devices. Multimedia operating expenditure was up 14.3% and was down 3.2 percentage points as a percent of net sales in 2007.

 

Enterprise Solutions

In the Enterprise Solutions business group, net sales in 2007 increased 101% to EUR 2.1 billion, compared to EUR 1.0 billion in 2006. At constant currency, Enterprise Solutions net sales would have increased 106% in 2007. Net sales were driven primarily by very strong volume growth in Enterprise Solutions device business, especially from the Nokia E65, compared to 2006. Net sales growth was highest in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Europe and Middle East & Africa. Net sales declined in China and North America.

 

Enterprise Solutions’ operating profit in 2007 increased to EUR 267 million (including negative special items of EUR 17 million), compared to an operating loss of EUR 258 million in 2006 (including negative special items of EUR 8 million). The business group’s operating margin was 12.9% (-25.0%). In 2007, the increased operating profit was driven primarily by higher net sales and effective operating expense control. Enterprise Solutions operating expenditure was down 4.0% and was down 35.8 percentage points as a percent of net sales in 2007.

 

Nokia Siemens Networks

Nokia Siemens Networks net sales in 2007 were EUR 13.4 billion.
