Nokia Corporation Interim Report for Q1 2018

Solid full year results expected in Networks despite challenging Q1; continued strength in Nokia Technologies

· Nokia sees further acceleration of 5G with strong momentum building by year-end

· Nokia raises its primary addressable market outlook for its Networks business in full year 2018, and expects to outperform that market in full year 2018

· Full year 2018 Nokia-level guidance reiterated

This is a summary of the Nokia Corporation financial report for Q1 2018 published today. The complete financial report for Q1 2018 with tables is available at www.nokia.com/financials. Investors should not rely on summaries of our financial reports only, but should review the complete financial reports with tables.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

· Net sales in Q1 2018 were EUR 4.9bn, compared to EUR 5.4bn in Q1 2017. On a constant currency basis, net sales would have been flat year-on-year.

· Non-IFRS diluted EPS in Q1 2018 was EUR 0.02, compared to EUR 0.03 in Q1 2017. Reported diluted EPS in Q1 2018 was negative EUR 0.06, compared to negative EUR 0.08 in Q1 2017.

Nokia’s Networks business net sales were EUR 4.3bn, with operating profit of EUR 43mn

· Q1 net sales and profitability were impacted primarily by lower net sales in North America. However, order intake and backlog were excellent in Q1. Therefore, Nokia expects the net sales trajectory in North America, as well as profitability, to improve significantly in the second half of 2018.

· Based on firm orders, Nokia sees customer demand for 5G accelerating further, particularly in North America, where we expect commercial 5G network deployments to begin near the end of 2018.

· Encouraging progress was made in Q1 with our strategy to diversify and grow by targeting attractive adjacent markets. Strong momentum continued with large enterprise vertical and webscale customers, with double-digit year-on-year growth in net sales and order intake.

· Momentum in our end-to-end strategy continued, with one third of our sales pipeline now comprised of solutions, products and services from multiple business groups.

Nokia Technologies net sales were EUR 365mn, with operating profit of EUR 274mn

· Strong track record continued, with 48% year-on-year net sales growth and 136% year-on-year operating profit increase in Q1, primarily related to license agreements entered into in 2017.

· Nokia Technologies continued to make good progress on new patent licensing agreements, as well as brand and technology licensing agreements; no major agreements were announced in Q1.

Outlook

· Nokia reiterates all of its full year 2018 Nokia-level guidance, despite expected weakness in its Networks business in the first half of 2018.

· In its Networks business, Nokia sees market conditions improving and 5G accelerating further, with strong momentum building by year end. Nokia now sees a stronger primary addressable market for its Networks business in full year 2018 and expects its Networks business to outperform its primary addressable market in full year 2018.

· Nokia remains on target to deliver EUR 1.2 billion of recurring annual cost savings in full year 2018. Our active efforts to drive 5G adoption are expected to result in EUR 100 to 200 million of temporary expenses in 2018 to support 5G customer trials.

· Nokia continues to see opportunities to build on its track record in Nokia Licensing within Nokia Technologies and drive a compound annual growth rate of approximately 10% for recurring net sales over the 3-year period ending 2020.

· Please refer to the full details and other targets in the Outlook section of this press release.

CEO STATEMENT

We see strong momentum building for the full year despite a slow start in Networks. I have considerable confidence that Nokia is well-positioned to out-perform a strengthening Networks market and meet our full-year 2018 guidance.

Our confidence is based on strong order intake and backlog in Q1; our end-to-end strategy is resonating with customers, resulting in strong cross-sell activity and a year-on-year doubling of the multi-business group pipeline; we have clear visibility to 5G deals for large-scale commercial rollouts in United States in the second half of the year; and are successfully executing our diversification strategy, with consistent double-digit profitable growth with enterprise and webscale customers.

On the licensing side, first quarter recurring revenue was up by 65% year-on-year, and we expect continued strong growth in the months ahead. We see further opportunities in smart phone licensing in China, in the automotive sector and in brand licensing.

Our end-to-end portfolio positions us very well for 5G and our efforts to accelerate global 5G adoption are clearly delivering results. We will fuel that adoption in 2018 with investments in trial costs, as needed. These investments will position us to capture opportunities in a 5G market that we believe will substantially accelerate later this year in the United States, followed by other large-scale 5G commercial rollouts starting in 2019 in multiple geographies. Given these developments, we expect to see continued softness in the first half of 2018, followed by a much stronger second half.

We also see a clear path to market share gains this year given our success in 4G expansion, 5G deals, IP routing in both the service provider segment and adjacent markets, and optical, driven by 5G and webscale customers.

While our Networks gross margin in Q1 decreased on a year-on-year basis, the primary underlying reasons for that — regional and product mix — are largely temporary in nature and expected to improve in the second half of 2018. It is also important to understand that we did not see significant degradation of margins at the overall product level. We remain on track to deliver on our EUR 1.2 billion cost savings commitment.

OUTLOOK

	Metric	Guidance	Commentary
Nokia	Non-IFRS operating margin	9-11% for full year 2018 and 12-16% for full year 2020	Nokia expects non-IFRS operating margin and non-IFRS diluted earnings per share to expand between full year 2018 and full year 2020 primarily due to: a) Improved results in Nokia’s Networks business, which are detailed below; b) Improved results in Nokia Technologies, which are detailed below; and c) Lower Nokia support function costs within Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other.

	Non-IFRS diluted earnings per share	EUR 0.23 - 0.27 in full year 2018 and EUR 0.37 - 0.42 in full year 2020

	Dividend	Approximately 40% to 70% of non-IFRS EPS on a long-term basis	Nokia’s Board of Directors is committed to proposing a growing dividend, including for 2018.

	Recurring free cash flow	Slightly positive in full year 2018 and clearly positive in full year 2020	Recurring free cash flow is expected to improve over the longer-term, due to lower cash outflows related to restructuring and network equipment swaps(1) and improved operational results over time.

	Recurring annual cost savings for Nokia, excluding Nokia Technologies	Approximately EUR 1.2 billion of recurring annual cost savings in full year 2018, of which approximately EUR 800 million are expected from operating expenses(1)	The reference period is full year 2015, in which the combined operating expenses of Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent, excluding Nokia Technologies, were approximately EUR 7.3 billion. As a result of active efforts to drive 5G adoption, and in the interest of our long-term strategy given the acceleration of 5G, in 2018 we expect to incur approximately EUR 100 to 200 million of temporary incremental expenses related to 5G customer trials that will partially reduce the positive impact from the recurring annual cost savings. (This is an update to earlier commentary for approximately EUR 100 million of temporary incremental expenses.)

	Network equipment swaps	Approximately EUR 1.4 billion of charges and cash outflows in total(1)	The charges related to network equipment swaps are being recorded as non-IFRS exclusions, and therefore do not affect Nokia’s non-IFRS operating profit.

	Non-IFRS financial income and expenses	Expense of approximately EUR 300 million in full year 2018 and over the longer-term	Nokia’s outlook for non-IFRS financial income and expenses in full year 2018 and over the longer-term is expected to be influenced by factors including: · Net interest expenses related to interest-bearing liabilities and defined benefit pension and other post-employment benefit plans; · Foreign exchange fluctuations and hedging costs; and · Expenses related to the sale of receivables.

	Non-IFRS tax rate	Approximately 30% for full year 2018 and 25% over the longer-term	Nokia’s outlook for non-IFRS tax rate for full year 2018 and over the longer-term is expected to be influenced by factors including the absolute level of profits, regional profit mix and any further changes to our operating model. Nokia expects cash outflows related to taxes to be approximately EUR 450 million in full year 2018 and over the longer-term until Nokia’s US or Finnish deferred tax assets are fully utilized.

	Capital expenditures	Approximately EUR 700 million in full year 2018 and approximately EUR	Primarily attributable to Nokia’s Networks business, and consistent with the depreciation of property, plant and equipment over the longer-term.

		600 million over the longer-term

Nokia’s Networks business	Net sales	Outperform its primary addressable market in 2018 and over the longer-term (This is an update to earlier guidance for net sales to decline in-line with its primary addressable market in 2018.)	For Nokia’s Networks business, Nokia expects net sales to outperform its primary addressable market and operating margin to expand between full year 2018 and full year 2020. Nokia’s outlook for net sales and operating margin for Nokia’s Networks business is expected to be influenced by factors including: · An approximately 1 to 3 percent decline in the primary addressable market for Nokia’s Networks business in full year 2018, compared to 2017, on a constant currency basis. 5G momentum is expected to drive growth in the primary addressable market in 2019 and 2020, on a constant currency basis.

	Operating margin	6-9% for full year 2018 and 9-12% for full year 2020	(This is an update to earlier commentary for a 2 to 4 percent decline in full year 2018.); · Customer demand for 5G accelerating further, with commercial 5G network deployments expected to begin near the end of 2018. (This is an update to earlier commentary for deployments to begin in 2019.); · Improved market conditions in the second half of 2018, particularly in North America, following expected weakness in the first half of 2018 (new commentary); · Our ability to scale our supply chain operations to meet increasing demand (new commentary); · A negative impact to reported net sales due to foreign exchange headwinds, particularly in first half 2018; · Focus on targeted growth opportunities in attractive adjacent markets; · Building a strong standalone software business; · Improved R&D productivity resulting from new ways of working and the reduction of legacy platforms over time; · Lower support function costs, including IT and site costs; · Uncertainty related to potential mergers or acquisitions by our customers; · Product and regional mix; and · Competitive and other industry dynamics.

Nokia Licensing within Nokia Technologies	Recurring net sales	Grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 10% over the 3-year period ending 2020	Due to risks and uncertainties in determining the timing and value of significant patent, brand and technology licensing agreements, Nokia believes it is not appropriate to provide annual outlook ranges for Nokia Licensing within Nokia Technologies. Although annual results are difficult to forecast, Nokia expects net sales growth and operating margin expansion over the 3-year period ending 2020.
	Operating margin	Expand to approximately 85% for full year 2020	In full year 2017, licensing net sales were approximately EUR 1.6 billion, of which approximately EUR 300 million were non-recurring in nature and related to catch-up net sales for prior years. Nokia’s outlook for net sales and operating margin for Nokia Licensing within Nokia Technologies is expected to be influenced by factors including:

· The timing and value of new patent licensing agreements with smartphone vendors, automotive companies and consumer electronics companies;

· Renegotiation of expiring patent licensing agreements;

· Increases or decreases in net sales related to existing patent licensees;

· Results in brand and technology licensing;

· Costs to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights; and

· The regulatory landscape.

Nokia introduces a co-investment arrangement to executive compensation

In order to further increase alignment of management’s interests with shareholders and to maximize long-term shareholder value creation, the Board of Directors has decided to offer a co-investment arrangement, as part of the grants under the existing 2018 Performance Share Plan, to the President and CEO and a limited number of senior leaders in key positions whose contributions have a direct impact to the Company’s strategy and long-term value.

Under the co-investment arrangement, the participants will be offered a matching award of two 2018 Performance Shares for each Nokia share that they purchase voluntarily with their own funds from the open market, with the payout of the Performance Shares subject to actual performance. For each participant, the arrangement is offered in addition to their normal annual long-term incentive award, and the maximum investment value corresponds to their normal annual long-term incentive award set by the company.

This arrangement will not change existing shareholder authorizations to the Board of Directors nor the earlier disclosed dilution impact of the 2018 Nokia Equity Program. The related purchases of shares by the participants are expected to be executed mainly during Q2 and Q3 of 2018 and the shares purchased under the arrangement must be held until January 1, 2021 in order for the matching performance share award to vest.

Further information of the 2018 Performance Share Plan is available in the company’s stock exchange release concerning the 2018 Nokia Equity Program published on February 1, 2018.

NOKIA IN Q1 2018 — NON-IFRS

FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

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

Year-on-year changes in non-IFRS net sales and non-IFRS operating profit

Nokia non-IFRS net sales decreased 9% year-on-year. On a constant currency basis, Nokia non-IFRS net sales would have been approximately flat year-on-year.

EUR million, non-IFRS	Net sales		% change		Gross profit		(R&D)	(SG&A)	Other income and (expenses)	Operating profit		Change in operating margin %
Networks business	(578	)	(12	)%	(386	)	47	23	34	(281	)	(560	)bps
Nokia Technologies	118		48	%	121		18	19	0	158		2 810	bps
Group Common and Other	(2	)	(1	)%	10		5	6	1	21		800	bps
Eliminations	3				0		0	0	0	0
Nokia	(459	)	(9	)%	(255	)	69	49	35	(102	)	(150	)bps

On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a significantly negative impact on non-IFRS gross profit, a significantly positive impact on non-IFRS operating expenses and a slightly negative net impact on non-IFRS operating profit in the first quarter 2018.

Year-on-year changes in non-IFRS profit attributable to the equity holders of the parent

EUR million, non-IFRS		Operating profit		Financial income and expenses		Taxes		Profit		Non- controlling interests		Profit attributable to the equity holders of the parent
Nokia		(102	)	(35	)	12		(120	)	(9	)	(110	)

Non-IFRS financial income and expenses

The net negative fluctuation in non-IFRS financial income and expenses was primarily due to interest expenses associated with the financial liability related to Nokia Shanghai Bell, higher losses from foreign exchange fluctuations and the inclusion of new items such as costs related to the sale of receivables and financing elements from customer and other contracts as a result of the adoption of new IFRS standards in the first quarter 2018. This was partially offset by lower interest expenses.

NOKIA IN Q1 2018 - REPORTED

FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

Year-on year changes in net sales and operating profit

Nokia net sales decreased 8% year-on-year. On a constant currency basis, Nokia net sales would have been approximately flat year-on-year.

EUR million		Operating profit		Financial income and expenses		Taxes		Profit		Non- controlling interests		Profit attributable to the equity holders of the parent
Nokia		(209	)	38		248		81		(40	)	122

Financial income and expenses

The net positive fluctuation in financial income and expenses was primarily due to the absence of expenses related to Nokia’s tender offer to repurchase certain bonds, which negatively affected the first quarter 2017, and lower interest expenses. This was partially offset by higher losses from foreign exchange fluctuations, expenses associated with the financial liability related to Nokia Shanghai Bell and the inclusion of new items such as costs related to the sale of receivables and financing elements from customer and other contracts as a result of the adoption of new IFRS standards in the first quarter 2018.

Taxes

The change in taxes was primarily due to the absence of a EUR 245 million tax expense, which negatively affected the first quarter 2017.

Non-IFRS exclusions in Q1 2018

Non-IFRS exclusions consist of costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related

items, restructuring and associated charges and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. For additional details, please refer to note 2, “Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation”, in the “Financial statement information” section in this report.

Outlook

	Metric	Guidance	Commentary
Nokia	Non-IFRS operating margin	9-11% for full year 2018 and 12-16% for full year 2020	Nokia expects non-IFRS operating margin and non-IFRS diluted earnings per share to expand between full year 2018 and full year 2020 primarily due to: a) Improved results in Nokia’s Networks business, which are detailed below; b) Improved results in Nokia Technologies, which are detailed below; and c) Lower Nokia support function costs within Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other.
	Non-IFRS diluted earnings per share	EUR 0.23 - 0.27 in full year 2018 and EUR 0.37 - 0.42 in full year 2020

	Dividend	Approximately 40% to 70% of non-IFRS EPS on a long-term basis	Nokia’s Board of Directors is committed to proposing a growing dividend, including for 2018.

	Recurring free cash flow	Slightly positive in full year 2018 and clearly positive in full year 2020	Recurring free cash flow is expected to improve over the longer-term, due to lower cash outflows related to restructuring and network equipment swaps(1) and improved operational results over time.

	Recurring annual cost savings for Nokia, excluding Nokia Technologies	Approximately EUR 1.2 billion of recurring annual cost savings in full year 2018, of which approximately EUR 800 million are expected from operating expenses(1)	The reference period is full year 2015, in which the combined operating expenses of Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent, excluding Nokia Technologies, were approximately EUR 7.3 billion. As a result of active efforts to drive 5G adoption, and in the interest of our long-term strategy given the acceleration of 5G, in 2018 we expect to incur approximately EUR 100 to 200 million of temporary incremental expenses related to 5G customer trials that will partially reduce the positive impact from the recurring annual cost savings. (This is an update to earlier commentary for approximately EUR 100 million of temporary incremental expenses.)

	Network equipment swaps	Approximately EUR 1.4 billion of charges and cash outflows in total(1)	The charges related to network equipment swaps are being recorded as non-IFRS exclusions, and therefore do not affect Nokia’s non-IFRS operating profit.

	Non-IFRS financial income and expenses	Expense of approximately EUR 300 million in full year 2018 and over the longer-term	Nokia’s outlook for non-IFRS financial income and expenses in full year 2018 and over the longer-term is expected to be influenced by factors including: · Net interest expenses related to interest-bearing liabilities and defined benefit pension and other post-employment benefit plans; · Foreign exchange fluctuations and hedging costs; and · Expenses related to the sale of receivables.

	Non-IFRS tax rate	Approximately 30% for full year 2018 and 25% over the longer-term	Nokia’s outlook for non-IFRS tax rate for full year 2018 and over the longer-term is expected to be influenced by factors including the absolute level of profits, regional profit mix and any further changes to our operating model. Nokia expects cash outflows related to taxes to be approximately EUR 450 million in full year 2018 and over the longer-term until Nokia’s US or Finnish deferred tax assets are fully utilized.

	Capital expenditures	Approximately EUR 700 million in full year 2018 and approximately EUR 600 million over the longer-term	Primarily attributable to Nokia’s Networks business, and consistent with the depreciation of property, plant and equipment over the longer-term.

Nokia’s Networks business	Net sales	Outperform its primary addressable market in 2018 and over the longer-term (This is an update to earlier guidance for net sales to decline in-line with its primary addressable market in 2018.)	For Nokia’s Networks business, Nokia expects net sales to outperform its primary addressable market and operating margin to expand between full year 2018 and full year 2020. Nokia’s outlook for net sales and operating margin for Nokia’s Networks business is expected to be influenced by factors including: · An approximately 1 to 3 percent decline in the primary addressable market for Nokia’s Networks business in full year 2018, compared to 2017, on a constant currency basis. 5G momentum is expected to drive growth in the primary addressable market in 2019 and 2020, on a constant currency basis. (This is an update to earlier commentary for a 2 to 4 percent decline in full year 2018.); · Customer demand for 5G accelerating further, with commercial 5G network deployments expected to begin near the end of 2018. (This is an update to earlier commentary for deployments to begin in 2019.); · Improved market conditions in the second half of 2018, particularly in North America, following expected weakness in the first half of 2018 (new commentary); · Our ability to scale our supply chain operations to meet increasing demand (new commentary); · A negative impact to reported net sales due to foreign exchange headwinds, particularly in first half 2018; · Focus on targeted growth opportunities in attractive adjacent markets; · Building a strong standalone software business; · Improved R&D productivity resulting from new ways of working and the reduction of legacy platforms over time; · Lower support function costs, including IT and site costs; · Uncertainty related to potential mergers or acquisitions by our customers; · Product and regional mix; and · Competitive and other industry dynamics.

	Operating margin	6-9% for full year 2018 and 9-12% for full year 2020

Nokia Licensing within Nokia Technologies	Recurring net sales	Grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 10% over the 3-year period ending 2020	Due to risks and uncertainties in determining the timing and value of significant patent, brand and technology licensing agreements, Nokia believes it is not appropriate to provide annual outlook ranges for Nokia Licensing within Nokia Technologies. Although annual results are difficult to forecast, Nokia expects net sales growth and operating margin expansion over the 3-year period ending 2020.
	Operating margin	Expand to approximately 85% for full year 2020	In full year 2017, licensing net sales were approximately EUR 1.6 billion, of which approximately EUR 300 million were non-recurring in nature and related to catch-up net sales for prior years. Nokia’s outlook for net sales and operating margin for Nokia Licensing within Nokia Technologies is expected to be influenced by factors including: · The timing and value of new patent licensing agreements with smartphone vendors, automotive companies and consumer electronics companies; · Renegotiation of expiring patent licensing agreements; · Increases or decreases in net sales related to existing patent licensees; · Results in brand and technology licensing; · Costs to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights; and · The regulatory landscape.

Nokia’s Networks business in Q1 2018

Operational highlights

The introduction of Nokia’s 5G Future X architecture, created the foundation for Nokia’s 5G technology and services portfolio. This was enhanced with the launch of the ReefShark chipset family, strengthening Nokia’s end-to-end mobile networks portfolio with the capability to increase cell site throughput by a factor of three. Nokia also launched its next-generation Photonic Service Engine (PSE) 3 chipset. By maximizing the capacity and performance of every link in optical networks, the chipset is critical to meet surging traffic demands of video, cloud, and 5G on communication service provider and webscale networks.

We made further progress in our mobile portfolio and product migrations with key customers, as seen by Nokia’s FL 17A software release for LTE. This software release, with extreme reliability, was deployed faster than any release before it and put into place at more than 195,000 sites by the end of March. We also remained on track with shipping our leading FP4-based IP routing products. We have nearly 70 customer FP4 trials ongoing, including multiple engagements with fast-growing webscale companies.

Nokia’s expansion into select new segments, or verticals, beyond communication service providers saw continued momentum on multiple fronts, including the addition of around 30 new customers in the quarter.

We progressed with our expansion efforts in the cable access market, and are now offering a disruptive cable solution that gives operators the flexibility to choose from a full range of options across both fiber and cable to meet their network needs. As part of that progress, Nokia signed a deal with an important cable customer shortly after the end of the first quarter.

We acquired Unium, a Seattle-based software company that specializes in solving complex wireless networking problems for use in mission-critical and residential Wi-Fi applications. Unium’s software and intelligent mesh wireless technology complement and enhance Nokia’s whole-home Wi-Fi solution to maximize performance and simplify network management.

Among the deals signed was a commercial agreement with NTT DOCOMO, Japan’s biggest mobile operator, to supply 5G baseband products for deployment in a 5G mobile network by 2020. We also announced plans with T-Mobile for the rollout of a nationwide 5G multi-band network in the United States using Nokia’s commercial 5G solution. Nokia will begin building the network in the second quarter of 2018.

French power utility EDF selected Nokia to test the performance of LPWA (low power, wide area) wireless networking technologies that support safe and secure Internet of Things connectivity for potentially millions of sensors and devices. Nokia also announced plans with Facebook to work together to accelerate the adoption of 60 GHz fixed wireless access technologies to deliver gigabit services and connect more people, faster. The 60 GHz band allows high-speed broadband connectivity in urban and suburban areas, complementing fiber networks.

Nokia’s signed the largest-ever GSM-R contract with PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe in Poland, a win that underscored our end-to-end portfolio strength. The deal will provide the country with one of the biggest state-of-the-art railway communication networks in Europe and includes GSM-R and mission-critical IP/MPLS and optical transport, as well as managed services, to enhance railway security and reliability.

Nokia appointed Sanjay Goel as President of Global Services and as a member of the Nokia Group Leadership Team, effective from April 1, 2018. Goel was most recently head of Global Services Sales.

Net sales

Nokia Technologies net sales increased 48% year-on-year. On a constant currency basis, Nokia Technologies net sales would have increased 49% year-on-year.

Of the EUR 365 million of net sales in the first quarter 2018, EUR 349 million related to patent, brand and technology licensing and EUR 16 million related to digital health.

The increase in Nokia Technologies net sales was primarily due to recurring net sales related to license agreements entered into in 2017. This was partially offset by lower licensing income from certain existing licensees. Nokia Technologies non-recurring catch-up net sales in the first quarter 2018 amounted to approximately zero. In the first quarter 2017, non-recurring net sales were approximately EUR 20 million.

Operating profit

The increase in Nokia Technologies gross profit was primarily due to higher net sales.

The decrease in Nokia Technologies R&D expenses was primarily due to reduced investments in digital media and lower patent portfolio costs.

The decrease in Nokia Technologies SG&A expenses was primarily due to lower licensing-related litigation costs.

On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a slightly negative impact on gross profit, a slightly positive impact on operating expenses and a slightly positive net impact on operating profit in the first quarter 2018.

Notes to Financial statements

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

This unaudited, consolidated, condensed financial statement information of Nokia has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. This condensed financial statement information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as published by the IASB and adopted by the EU. The same accounting policies, methods of computation and applications of judgment are followed in this financial statement information as was followed in the financial statements for 2017 with the exception of changes resulting from adoption of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers as described in note 14, “New accounting standards”.

This financial report was authorized for issue by management on April 25, 2018.

Nokia presents financial information on reported, non-IFRS and constant currency basis. Non-IFRS measures presented in this document exclude costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and other purchase price fair value adjustments, restructuring and associated charges and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. In order to allow full visibility on determining non-IFRS results, information on non-IFRS exclusions is presented separately for each of the components of profit or loss.

Constant currency reporting provides additional information on change in net sales on a constant currency basis in order to better reflect the underlying net sales development. Therefore, change in net sales at constant currency excludes the impact of changes in exchange rates in comparison to euro.

Non-IFRS or constant currency financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with IFRS, and either of these financial measures as used by Nokia may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies or persons.

On July 3, 2017, Nokia and China Huaxin Post & Telecommunication Economy Development Center (“China Huaxin”) commenced operations of the new joint venture Nokia Shanghai Bell (“NSB”). As part of the NSB definitive agreements, China Huaxin obtained the right to fully transfer its ownership interest in NSB to Nokia in exchange for a future cash settlement. To reflect its conditional obligation to China Huaxin, Nokia recorded the present value of the expected future cash settlement as a financial liability of EUR 737 million within other long-term liabilities and derecognised its non-controlling interest balance of EUR 772 million related to NSB with the difference recorded within retained earnings. The recognition of the present value discount on the financial liability will increase interest expense and any changes in the estimated future cash settlement will be recorded within financial income and expense.

Percentages and figures presented herein may include rounding differences and therefore may not add up precisely to the totals presented and may vary from previously published financial information.

New and amended standards and interpretations adopted

On January 1, 2018, Nokia adopted IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The nature of new standards, impact of adoption on Nokia’s consolidated financial statements and changes to Nokia’s accounting policies resulting from the adoption are described in detail in note 14, “New accounting standards”. Other amendments and interpretations that became effective on January 1, 2018, did not have a material impact on Nokia’s consolidated financial statements.

Standards issued but not yet effective

IFRS 16 Leases, issued in January 2016, sets out the requirements for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. IFRS 16 provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for substantially all leases in the consolidated statement of financial position. Nokia will adopt IFRS 16 on the effective date of January 1, 2019 using the cumulative catch-up transition method, whereby the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 will be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2019 and comparative information will not be restated. Nokia is currently assessing the full impact of IFRS 16 but the initial expectation is that the main impact from adoption relates to the recognition and disclosure of Nokia’s real estate related operating leases. In the consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, Nokia disclosed non-cancellable operating lease commitments of EUR 875 million.

Other revisions, amendments and interpretations to existing standards issued by the IASB that are not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on Nokia’s consolidated financial statements when adopted.

Exchange rates

Nokia is a company with global operations and net sales derived from various countries and invoiced in various currencies. Therefore, our business and results from operations are exposed to changes in exchange rates between the euro, our reporting currency, and other currencies, such as the US dollar and the Chinese yuan. To mitigate the impact of changes in exchange rates on our results, we hedge operative forecasted net foreign exchange exposures, typically within a 12-month horizon, and apply hedge accounting in the majority of cases.

2. NON-IFRS TO REPORTED RECONCILIATION (unaudited)

In addition to information on our reported IFRS results, Nokia provides certain information on a non-IFRS, or underlying business performance, basis. Non-IFRS measures presented in this document exclude costs related to the Acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and other purchase price fair value adjustments, restructuring and associated charges and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. Nokia believes that the non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokia’s underlying business performance by excluding the above-described items. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes to the equivalent IFRS measure(s), but should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measure(s) in the reported results.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION (unaudited)

Nokia has two businesses: Nokia’s Networks business and Nokia Technologies, and four reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: (1) Ultra Broadband Networks, (2) Global Services and (3) IP Networks and Applications within Nokia’s Networks business; and (4) Nokia Technologies. Segment-level information for Group Common and Other is also presented.

Nokia has aggregated Mobile Networks and Fixed Networks operating segments to one reportable segment, Ultra Broadband Networks; and IP/Optical Networks and Nokia Software(1) operating segments to one reportable segment, IP Networks and Applications. The aggregated operating segments have similar economic characteristics, such as long-term margins; have similar products, production processes, distribution methods and customers; and operate in a similar regulatory environment.

The President and CEO is the chief operating decision maker and monitors the operating results of operating and reportable segments for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Key financial performance measures of the segments include primarily net sales and operating profit. The evaluation of segment performance and allocation of resources is based on non-IFRS operating profit.

Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in note 2, “Significant accounting policies” of our Annual Report for 2017. Inter-segment revenues and transfers are accounted for as if the revenues were to third parties, that is, at current market prices. Non-IFRS exclusions are not allocated to the segments.

Ultra Broadband Networks

Ultra Broadband Networks comprises Mobile Networks and Fixed Networks operating segments.

The Mobile Networks operating segment offers an industry-leading portfolio of end-to-end mobile networking solutions comprising hardware and software for communications service providers, enterprises and related markets/verticals, such as public safety and Internet of Things (“IoT”).

The Fixed Networks operating segment provides copper and fiber access products, solutions and services. The portfolio allows for a customized combination of technologies that brings fiber to the most economical point for the customer.

Global Services

Global Services operating segment provides a wide range of professional services with multi-vendor capabilities, covering network planning and optimization, systems integration as well as company-wide managed services. It also provides network implementation and care services for mobile networks, using the strength of its global service delivery for quality, speed and efficiency.

IP Networks and Applications

IP Networks and Applications comprises IP/Optical Networks and Nokia Software operating segments.

The IP/Optical Networks operating segment provides the key IP routing and optical transport systems, software and services to build high capacity network infrastructure for the internet and global connectivity.

The Nokia Software operating segment offers software solutions spanning customer experience management, network operations and management, communications and collaboration, policy and charging, as well as Cloud, IoT, security, and analytics platforms that enable digital services providers and enterprises to accelerate innovation, monetize services, and optimize their customer experience.

Nokia Technologies

The Nokia Technologies operating segment, building on decades of innovation and R&D leadership in technologies used in virtually all mobile devices used today, is expanding Nokia patent licensing business, reintroducing the Nokia brand to smartphones through brand licensing, and establishing a technology licensing business. The majority of net sales and related costs and expenses attributable to licensing and patenting the separate patent portfolios of Nokia Technologies, Nokia’s Networks business, and Nokia Bell Labs are recorded in Nokia Technologies. Each reportable segment continues to separately record its own research and development expenses.

Group Common and Other

Group Common and Other includes Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks and Radio Frequency Systems, both of which are being managed as separate entities. In addition, Group Common and Other includes Nokia Bell Labs’ operating expenses, as well as certain corporate-level and centrally managed operating expenses.

(1)Applications & Analytics operating segment was renamed as Nokia Software on February 1, 2018.

The results and cash flows of discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2018 mostly relate to a resolution reached in the tax dispute concerning the applicability of withholding tax in respect of payments by Nokia India Private Limited to Nokia Corporation for the supply of operating software in Devices & Services business. Nokia paid EUR 102 million tax in addition to EUR 100 million that was already paid during 2013-2015.

7. PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (unaudited)

Nokia operates a number of post-employment plans in various countries including both defined contribution and defined benefit plans. Defined benefit plans include pension plans and post-retirement welfare benefit plans, providing post-retirement healthcare benefits and life insurance coverage. Defined benefit plans expose Nokia to actuarial risks such as investment risk, interest rate risk, and life expectancy risk. The characteristics and associated risks of the defined benefit plans vary depending on legal, fiscal, and economic requirements in each country.

96% of Nokia’s defined benefit obligation and 98% of plan assets fair values were remeasured as of March 31, 2018. Nokia’s pension and post-retirement obligations in the United States have been remeasured by updated valuations from an external actuary and Nokia’s main pension plans outside of the U.S. (in Germany, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Belgium) have been remeasured based upon changes in the discount rates during the reporting period. The impact of not remeasuring other pension and post-employment obligations is considered not material.

8. DEFERRED TAXES (unaudited)

At March 31, 2018, Nokia had recognized deferred tax assets of EUR 4.6 billion. The deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary difference can be utilized in the relevant jurisdictions. The majority of Nokia’s recognized deferred tax assets relate to unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences in Finland (EUR 2.4 billion) and the United States (EUR 1.0 billion). Based on the recent years’ profitability in Finland and the United States and the latest forecasts of future financial performance, Nokia has been able to establish a pattern of sufficient tax profitability in Finland and the United States to conclude that it is probable that Nokia will be able to utilize the tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences in the foreseeable future.

At March 31, 2018, Nokia had unrecognized deferred tax assets of approximately EUR 5 billion related to unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences. The majority of the unrecognized deferred tax assets relate to France (approximately EUR 4 billion). These deferred tax assets have not been recognized due to uncertainty regarding their utilization. A significant portion of the French unrecognized deferred tax assets are indefinite in nature and available against future French tax liabilities, subject to a limitation of 50% of annual taxable profits.

At March 31, 2018, Nokia had deferred tax liabilities of EUR 0.4 billion. The majority of the deferred tax liabilities relate to the fair value adjustments on the purchase accounting of Alcatel-Lucent acquisition.

10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (unaudited)

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized based on the amount of unobservable inputs used to measure their fair value. Three hierarchical levels are based on an increasing amount of judgment associated with the inputs used to derive fair valuation for these assets and liabilities; Level 1 being market values for exchange traded products, Level 2 being primarily based on quotes from third-party pricing services and Level 3 requiring most management judgment. For more information about the valuation methods and principles, refer to note 2, “Significant accounting policies” and note 24, “Fair value of financial instruments”, of our Annual Report for 2017. For information on changes in classification related to the adoption of IFRS 9, refer to note 14, “New accounting standard”. Items carried at fair value in the following table are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 addresses the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, introduces a new impairment model and a new hedge accounting model. On adoption, Nokia has not restated comparative periods but presents the cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 9 as a transition adjustment to the opening balance of other comprehensive income and retained earnings as of January 1, 2018.

The effect of changes to Nokia’s financial statement due to the adoption of IFRS 9 are described below.

Classification and measurement of financial assets

Nokia has classified its financial assets in the following three categories: financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss. The selection of the appropriate category is made based both on Nokia’s business model for managing the financial asset and on the contractual cash flows characteristics of the financial asset. The new asset classes replace the following IAS 39 asset classification categories: available-for-sale investments, derivative and other current financial assets, loans receivable, trade receivables, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Nokia’s business model for managing financial assets is defined on portfolio level. The business model must be observable on practical level by the way business is managed. The cash flows of financial assets measured at amortized cost are solely payments of principal and interest. These assets are held within a business model which has an objective to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income have cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest and these assets are held within a business model which has an objective that is achieved both by holding financial assets to collect contractual cash flows and selling financial assets. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss are assets that do not fall in either of the two above-mentioned categories. In addition to the classification as described above, the accounting for financial assets is impacted if the financial asset is part of a hedging relationship.

Non-current Investments: Investments in unlisted private equity shares, technology-related publicly quoted shares and unlisted venture funds are classified as fair value through profit and loss. Under IAS 39 these items were classified as available-for-sale. Fair valuation is recorded in other income and expenses based on the business model assessment performed in conjunction with IFRS 9 transition.

Other non-current financial assets: Restricted bank deposits are classified as amortized cost. Under IAS 39 these items were classified as available-for-sale.

Loan receivables: Nokia’s business model for managing loans to customers and suppliers is both to collect contractual cash flows and to sell assets and hence customer finance assets are initially recognized and subsequently re-measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Under IAS 39 these items were measured at amortized cost less impairment using the effective interest method.

Derivatives: There is no change in the classification or measurement of derivative assets not designated in hedge accounting relationships apart from embedded derivatives: based on IFRS 9, the whole contract is evaluated based on the classification criteria and then classified as its entirety. Based on IAS 39 embedded derivatives were measured at fair value through profit and loss.

Current Investments: Term deposits used as collaterals for derivative transactions are classified as current investments at amortized cost (formerly classified as cash equivalents). Fixed income and money market securities are classified as fair value through other comprehensive income in case the instrument characteristics fulfil the criteria of payments of solely principal and interest and are not part of a structured investment (formerly classified as available-for-sale investments). Other investments are classified at fair value through profit or loss.

Trade receivables: Nokia’s business model for managing trade receivables is holding receivables to collect contractual cash flows and selling receivables. Hence, trade receivables are initially recognized at notional amounts and subsequently re-measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. IAS 39 measured these trade receivables at amortized cost.

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

Nokia classifies derivative liabilities at fair value through profit and loss and all other financial liabilities at amortized cost. These category classes replace the IAS 39 classes derivative and other financial liabilities, compound financial instruments, loans payable, and account payable. The implementation of IFRS 9 has not had a material effect on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities.

Impairment

Nokia assesses expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets on a forward-looking basis whereas the impairment provision under IAS 39 was based on actual credit losses. The impairment requirements concern the following financial assets: customer loans and current investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets measured at amortized cost as well as financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments.

A loss allowance is recognized based on 12-month expected credit losses unless the credit risk for the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. For trade receivables and contract assets Nokia applies a simplified impairment approach to recognizing a loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses.

Hedge accounting

As Nokia’s foreign exchange risk management policy and hedge accounting model have already been aligned with the requirements of IFRS 9, all hedging relationships qualify for treatment as continuing hedging relationship. The requirement for hedge effectiveness of 80-125 % has been removed from IFRS 9 and the effectiveness of hedging is evaluated based on the economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item. Nokia is separating the forward element and the spot element of a forward contract and designates as the hedging instrument only the change in the value of the spot element of the forward contract. Nokia also separates the time value of options and the basis element of cross currency swaps. These hedging costs are mainly recognized in other comprehensive income and subsequently accounted for in the same way as the intrinsic value. Under IAS 39 these costs were recognized in profit and loss as they occurred.

The monetary and line-by-line impact of the changes to classification and measurement of financial assets in the Statement of Financial Position is described in more detail below.

(1)Upon initial application of the standard, the accumulated net positive fair value changes for Nokia’s investments in venture funds, a gain of EUR 226 million, formerly recorded to other comprehensive income, is presented as a transition adjustment to opening balance of retained earnings. There was no change in the valuation nor carrying amount of these assets.
(2)Certain restricted bank deposits classified mainly as non-current available-for-sale investments under IAS 39 are classified as amortized cost. There was no change in the carrying amount of these deposits.
(3)The initial fair value adjustment for trade receivables of a loss of EUR 46 million is presented in opening balance of other comprehensive income as a transition adjustment.
(4)The initial fair value adjustment for customer finance assets of a loss of EUR 4 million is presented in opening balance of other comprehensive income as a transition adjustment.
(5)Nokia has assessed the investments currently classified as current available-for-sale, liquid assets, and will classify certain investment funds to be measured at fair value through profit or loss at the adoption of the new standard. The rest of these investments satisfy the conditions for classification at fair value through other comprehensive income.
(6)Certain term deposits used as collaterals for derivative transactions formerly classified as cash equivalents are classified as current financial investments in conjunction with IFRS 9 business model assessment. This transition adjustment is presented as a cash outflow on the Purchase of current financial investments line in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
(7)Nokia has assessed the impact of the new impairment model. As the credit quality of Nokia’s fixed income and money market investments is high, there is no significant impact from the new model. There is an impact of EUR 9 million loss to loans extended to Nokia’s customers as the new model results in an earlier recognition of credit losses that has been recorded in opening balance of other comprehensive income and retained earnings as a transition adjustment.
(8)For cash flow hedge accounting, Nokia has elected to defer cost of hedging in other comprehensive income until the hedged item impacts profit and loss. As a result a loss of EUR 10 million for accumulated forward points related to hedges under cash flow hedge accounting at the end of 2017 has been recorded in opening balance of other comprehensive income and retained earnings as a transition adjustment. For net investment hedge accounting, Nokia has elected to defer cost of hedging in other comprehensive income and amortize it over the duration of the hedge. The initial adjustment related to treatment of cost of net investment hedging is not significant.

The numbers quoted in the footnotes above are gross of tax. The tax impact of IFRS 9 transition adjustments has been recorded to deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities, fair value and other reserves or retained earnings as applicable.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18, Revenue, and IAS 11, Construction contracts and establishes a new five-step model that applies to revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized to reflect the transfer of promised goods and services to customers for amounts that reflect the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. Nokia adopted the standard by applying the modified retrospective method and has presented the cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018.

Management has analyzed the impact of the adoption of IFRS 15 and concluded that the new standard will not have a material impact on Nokia’s consolidated financial statements. The procedures performed by management focused on a review of existing contracts through December 31, 2017, focusing on the following areas:

Arrangements with customers

Management considered the definition of a contract in accordance with the new standard and concluded that only legally binding commitments should be considered in evaluating the accounting for arrangements with customers. As such, frame agreements will be accounted for based on purchase orders, initial discounts and other material rights. Previously, a broader contract definition was permitted for accounting purposes.

Identification of performance obligations and allocation of transaction price

In accordance with IFRS 15, the identification of performance obligations and allocation of transaction price is based on a fair value model. Nokia’s application of previous accounting standards is consistent with IFRS 15.

Transfer of control of hardware

The point at which control transfers to the customer under IFRS 15 is consistent with Nokia’s assessed point of transfer of the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the customer under the previous standard.

Software revenue

In accordance with IFRS 15, revenue related to software arrangements will be recognized at points in time. Under previous standards, certain software revenue arrangements were recorded as revenue over the terms of the arrangements where customers had access to a portfolio of software solutions. After the adoption of IFRS 15, this change may result in larger fluctuations in revenue between quarters than under the previous standard.

Patent license agreements in Nokia Technologies

Nokia’s current revenue recognition principles for license agreements, which contain future commitments to perform, are in line with IFRS 15 and continue to be recorded over time. Further, Nokia has determined that, upon transition to IFRS 15, one specific license agreement is a completed contract as it has no such future commitments (refer to Application of transition guidance below).

Application of transition guidance

In April 2014, Nokia entered into an agreement to license certain technology patents and patent applications owned by Nokia on the effective date of that agreement, on a non-exclusive basis, to a licensee, for a period of 10 years (the “License Agreement”). Contemporaneously and under the terms of the License Agreement, Nokia issued to the licensee an option to extend the technology patent license for remaining life of the licensed patents. Nokia received all cash consideration due for the sale of the 10-year license and option upon closing of the License Agreement. Management has determined that, upon transition to IFRS 15, the License Agreement is a completed contract. As such, in accordance with the transition requirements of the standard, Nokia continues to apply its prior revenue accounting policies, based on IAS 18, Revenue, and related interpretations, to the License Agreement. Under those policies, Nokia is recognizing revenue over the term of the License Agreement.

As of March 31, 2018, the balance of deferred revenue related to the License Agreement of EUR 940 million, recognized in advance payments and deferred revenue in the consolidated statement of financial position, is expected to be recognized as revenue through 2024.

Opening balance sheet adjustment and application of IFRS 15 in 2018

In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 15, Nokia has presented its customer contracts in the statement of financial position as either a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between Nokia’s performance and the customer’s payment for each individual contract. On a net basis, a contract asset position represents where Nokia has performed by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due. Conversely, a contract liability position represents where a customer has paid consideration or payment is due, but Nokia has not yet transferred goods or services to the customer. Invoiced receivables represent unconditional rights to payment, and are presented separately on the statement of financial position. The IFRS 15 related adjustments to the year-end 2017 statement of financial position and the resulting 2018 opening balance sheet are presented in the first section of this note. Contract assets presented in the statement of financial position are current in nature while contract liabilities can be either current or non-current.

Adoption of the standard resulted in a post-tax decrease of retained earnings of EUR 16 million in the opening balance sheet of 2018, with offsetting entries in trade receivables and deferred revenue, subsequently subject to presentation on a net basis in contract assets and liabilities.

In the first quarter of 2018, the difference in the amount of revenue recorded by the application of IFRS 15 as compared to IAS 11, IAS 18 and related Interpretations that were in effect before the adoption of IFRS 15, is immaterial.

15. PERFORMANCE MEASURES (unaudited)

In the reporting of financial information, Nokia has adopted various performance measures of historical or future financial performance, position or cash flows other than those defined or specified under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These measures are not defined by IFRS and therefore may not be directly comparable with financial measures used by other companies, including those in Nokia’s industry. The following table provides summarized information on the performance measures included in this interim report.

Performance measure	Definition	Purpose
Key performance measures
Non-IFRS measures	Non-IFRS measures exclude costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and other purchase price fair value adjustments, restructuring and associated charges and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. Refer to note 2, “Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation”.	We believe that our non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokia’s underlying business performance by excluding the non-IFRS items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s business operating results. Non-IFRS operating profit is used in determining management remuneration.
Constant currency measures	When financial measures are reported on a constant currency basis, exchange rates used to translate the amounts in local currencies to euro, our reporting currency, are the average actual periodic exchange rates for the comparative financial period. Therefore, the constant currency measures exclude the impact of changes in exchange rates during the current period in comparison to euro.	We provide additional information on a constant currency basis in order to better reflect the underlying business performance.
Other performance measures
Recurring/Non-recurring net sales	Recurring net sales are revenues that are likely to continue in the future. Recurring net sales exclude e.g. catch-up revenues relating to prior periods. Non-recurring net sales are revenues that are not likely to continue in the future.	We use recurring/non-recurring net sales to improve comparability between the financial periods.
Net cash and current financial investments	Net cash and current financial investments equals total cash and current financial investments less long-term and short-term interest-bearing liabilities. Refer to note 9, “Net cash and current financial investments”.	Net cash and current financial investments is used to indicate Nokia’s liquidity position after cash required to settle the interest-bearing liabilities.
Total cash and current financial investments	Total cash and current financial investments consist of cash and cash equivalents and current financial investments.	Total cash and current financial investments is used to indicate funds available to Nokia to run its current and invest in future business activities as well as provide return for security holders.
EBITDA	Operating profit/(loss) before depreciations and amortizations and adjusted for share of results of associated companies and joint ventures.	We use EBITDA as a measure of Nokia’s operating performance.
Adjusted profit/(loss) before changes in net working capital	Profit/(loss) for the period adjusted for the movements in non-cash items before changes in net working capital.	We use adjusted profit/(loss) before changes in net working capital to provide a structured presentation of cash flows.
Free cash flow	Net cash from operating activities - purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (capital expenditures) + proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets — purchase of non-current financial investments + proceeds from sale of non-current financial investments.	Free cash flow is the cash that Nokia generates after net investments to tangible, intangible and non-current financial investments and it represents the cash available for distribution among its security holders. It is a measure of cash generation, working capital efficiency and capital discipline of the business.
Capital expenditure	Purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (excluding assets acquired under business combinations).	We use capital expenditure to describe investments in profit generating activities in the future.
Recurring annual cost savings	Reduction in cost of sales and operating expenses resulting from the cost savings program and the impact of which is considered recurring in nature.	We use recurring annual cost savings measure to monitor the progress of our cost savings program established after the Alcatel-Lucent transaction against plan.
Restructuring and associated charges, liabilities and cash outflows	Charges, liabilities and cash outflows related to activities that either meet the strict definition of restructuring under IFRS or are closely associated with such activities.	We use restructuring and associated charges, liabilities and cash outflows to measure the progress of our integration and transformation activities.
Charges and cash outflows related to network equipment swaps	Charges and cash outflows related to product portfolio integration for key customers.	We use charges and cash outflows related to network equipment swaps to measure the progress of our integration and transformation activities.
