Note 1 relating to non-IFRS results: Non-IFRS results exclude special items for
all periods. In addition, non-IFRS results exclude intangible asset
amortization, other purchase price accounting related items and inventory value
adjustments arising from i) the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks and ii) all
business acquisitions completed after June 30, 2008. More specific information
about the exclusions from the non-IFRS results may be found in our complete
interim report with tables for Q4 2011 on pages 4-5, 20-22 and 24, and pages
41-43 and 45 for the full years 2011 and 2010.
Nokia believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide meaningful
supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokia's
performance by excluding the above-described items that may not be indicative of
Nokia's business operating results. These non-IFRS financial measures should not
be viewed in isolation or as substitutes to the equivalent IFRS measure(s), but
should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measure(s)
in the reported results. A reconciliation of the non-IFRS results to our
reported results for Q4 2011 and Q4 2010 can be found in the tables on pages 18
and 20-24 of our complete interim report with tables. A reconciliation of our Q3
2011 non-IFRS results to our reported results can be found on pages 17 and
20-24 of our complete Q3 2011 interim report with tables which was published on
October 20, 2011. A reconciliation of our 2011 and 2010 non-IFRS results to our
reported results can be found on pages 40-45.
Note 2 relating to non-IFRS Nokia EPS: Nokia taxes continued to be unfavorably
impacted by Nokia Siemens Networks taxes as no tax benefits are recognized for
certain Nokia Siemens Networks deferred tax items. In Q4 2011, the Finnish
statutory tax rate change also had a one-quarter negative impact. If Nokia's
estimated long-term tax rate of 26% had been applied, non-IFRS Nokia EPS would
have been approximately 1.2 Euro cents higher in Q4 2011.
Note 3 relating to Nokia net cash and other liquid assets: Calculated as total
cash and other liquid assets less interest-bearing liabilities.
Note 4 relating to Devices & Services reporting structure: As of April 1, 2011,
our Devices & Services business has two operating and reportable segments -
Smart Devices, which focuses on smartphones, and Mobile Phones, which focuses on
mass market mobile devices - as well as Devices & Services Other. Prior period
results for each quarter and the full year 2010 and Q1 2011 have been regrouped
(on an unaudited basis) for comparability purposes according to the new
reporting format that became effective on April 1, 2011.
Devices & Services prior period results for each quarter and the full year 2010
and Q1, Q2 and Q3 2011 have also been recasted (on an unaudited basis) for
comparability purposes according to the new reporting format that became
effective on October 1, 2011. See Note 6 below relating to Location & Commerce.
Note 5 relating to average selling prices (ASP): Mobile device ASP represents
total Devices & Services net sales (Smart Devices net sales, Mobile Phones net
sales, and Devices & Services Other net sales) divided by total Devices &
Services volumes. Devices & Services Other net sales includes net sales of
Nokia's luxury phone business Vertu and spare parts, as well as intellectual
property royalty income. Smart Devices ASP represents Smart Devices net sales
divided by Smart Devices volumes. Mobile Phones ASP represents Mobile Phones net
sales divided by Mobile Phones volumes.
Note 6 relating to Location & Commerce: On June 22, 2011, we announced plans to
create a new Location & Commerce business which combines NAVTEQ and Nokia's
social location services operations from Devices & Services, which focuses on
location based services and local commerce. The Location & Commerce business is
an operating and reportable segment beginning October 1, 2011. From the third
quarter 2008 until the end of the third quarter 2011, NAVTEQ was a separate
reportable segment of Nokia. Prior period results for each quarter and the full
year 2010 and Q1, Q2 and Q3 2011 have been recasted (on an unaudited basis) for
comparability purposes according to the new reporting format that became
effective on October 1, 2011. Recasted reported financial information can be
accessed at: http://www.nokia.com/investors.
Note 7 relating to Nokia Siemens Networks: Nokia Siemens Networks completed the
acquisition of Motorola Solutions' networks assets on April 30, 2011.
Accordingly, the fourth quarter and full year 2011 results of Nokia Siemens
Networks are not directly comparable to their prior-year comparatives.
STEPHEN ELOP, NOKIA CEO:
The fourth quarter of 2011 marked a significant step in Nokia's transformation.
Most notably, in Q4 we introduced new mobile phones and smartphones, which
resulted from the strategy shift in our Devices & Services business.
Overall, we are pleased with the performance of our mobile phones business,
which benefited in Q4 from sequential double-digit percentage growth in our dual
SIM business, with particular strength in India, Middle East and Africa and
South East Asia. In October, we introduced the Asha 200, 201, 300 and 303, which
brought new mobile phones into 76 markets around the world. We are building on
this foundation with R&D investments as we continue our journey to connect the
next billion to the Internet.
Also in October, just six months after signing an agreement with Microsoft, we
introduced our first two devices based on the Windows Phones platform - the
Nokia Lumia 800 and the Nokia Lumia 710. We brought the new devices to market
ahead of schedule, demonstrating that we are changing the clock speed of Nokia.
To date, we have introduced Lumia to consumers in Europe, Hong Kong, India,
Russia, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan.
We have also started our important re-entry into the North American market.
Earlier this month, T-Mobile started selling the Nokia Lumia 710 as a lead
device. We also announced the new Nokia Lumia 900 with AT&T, and immediately
received a number of industry awards. The Nokia Lumia 900 is our third Lumia
device, our first LTE device designed specifically for the North American
market, and AT&T is positioning the Lumia 900 as a lead LTE device.
In the war of ecosystems, clearly there are some strong contenders already on
the field. And with Lumia, we have demonstrated that we belong on the field.
Our specific intent has been to establish a beachhead in this war of ecosystems,
and country by country that is what we are now accomplishing. To date we have
sold well over 1 million Lumia devices. From this beachhead of more than 1
million Lumia devices, you will see us push forward with the sales, marketing
and successive product introductions necessary to be successful. We also plan
to bring the Lumia series to additional markets including China and Latin
America in the first half of 2012.
And, while we progressed in the right direction in 2011, we still have a
tremendous amount to accomplish in 2012, and thus, it is my assessment that we
are in the heart of our transition.
Specifically, changing market conditions are putting increased pressure on
Symbian. In certain markets, there has been an acceleration of the anticipated
trend towards lower-priced smartphones with specifications that are different
from Symbian's traditional strengths. As a result of the changing market
conditions, combined with our increased focus on Lumia, we now believe that we
will sell fewer Symbian devices than we previously anticipated.
During Q4, we also formed the Location & Commerce business to drive value from
our leading mapping and location-based services platform. We conducted annual
impairment testing in Q4 in the context of our new structure and plans for the
future, and valued the Location & Commerce business at EUR 4.1 billion,
resulting in an impairment of goodwill of EUR 1.1 billion. The Location &
Commerce business is an important asset that is bringing differentiating
location-based services to Nokia, the Windows Phone ecosystem, and other
Microsoft products such as Bing. We believe this is the leading location-based
services platform with an opportunity to become tremendously powerful as
computing goes more mobile, and location increasingly becomes a critical
organizing dimension for a person's experiences.
In summary, with a strong balance sheet, our performance in mobile phones and
the new excitement around Lumia, we are confident that we are on the right track
to build long-term value.
NOKIA OUTLOOK
- Nokia expects its non-IFRS Devices & Services operating margin in the first
quarter 2012 to be around breakeven, ranging either above or below by
approximately 2 percentage points. This outlook is based on our expectations
regarding a number of factors, including:
- competitive industry dynamics, particularly impacting our Smart Devices
business unit;
- a greater-than-normal seasonal decline in Devices & Services net sales;
- timing, ramp-up, and consumer demand related to our new products;
- the macroeconomic environment.
- Nokia continues to target to reduce Devices & Services non-IFRS operating
expenses by more than EUR 1 billion for the full year 2013, compared to the
recasted full year 2010 Devices & Services non-IFRS operating expenses of EUR
5.35 billion.
- Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks expect Nokia Siemens Networks non-IFRS
operating margin to be negative in the earlier part of 2012. In the first
quarter of 2012, Nokia Siemens Networks expects substantial charges related to
its previously announced global restructuring program aimed at maintaining long-
term competitiveness and improving profitability. Due to the nature of the
restructuring program as well as prevailing uncertain macroeconomic conditions,
the timing of improvements in profitability is uncertain and therefore Nokia
Siemens Networks' non-IFRS operating margin in 2012 is expected to be volatile.
Thus, Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks do not believe it is appropriate to give
specific full year or quarterly guidance for Nokia Siemens Networks during 2012.
- Nokia Siemens Networks continues to target to reduce its non-IFRS annualized
operating expenses and production overheads by EUR 1 billion by the end of
2013, compared to the end of 2011.
LONGER TERM OUTLOOK AND TARGETS
Nokia believes it is currently not appropriate to provide annual targets for
2012 mainly for the following reasons:
- 2012 is expected to continue to be a year of transition, during which our
Devices & Services business will be subject to risks and uncertainties. Those
risks and uncertainties include, among others, consumer demand for our Symbian
devices; the timing, ramp-up, and consumer demand related to new products,
including our Lumia devices; and further pressure on margins as competitors
endeavor to capitalize on our platform and product transition;
- Nokia Siemens Networks has announced a new strategy which focuses its business
on mobile broadband and services, and has launched an extensive global
restructuring program.
- Additionally, the macroeconomic environment is making it increasingly
difficult to estimate our outlook and provide reliable targets.
Longer-term, Nokia targets:
- Devices & Services net sales to grow faster than the market.
- Devices & Services non-IFRS operating margin to be 10% or more.
Longer-term, Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks target:
- Nokia Siemens Networks' non-IFRS operating margin to be between 5% and 10%.

Nokia Group
Nokia has three businesses that reflect its new operational structure
implemented during 2011 - Devices & Services, Location & Commerce and Nokia
Siemens Networks. As of April 1, 2011, Devices & Services has two operating and
reportable segments - Smart Devices, which focuses on smartphones, and Mobile
Phones, which focuses on mass market mobile devices - as well as Devices &
Services Other. As of October 1, 2011, a new operating and reportable segment,
Location & Commerce, was formed by combining the NAVTEQ business with Nokia's
social location services operations, which focuses on location based services
and local commerce. From the third quarter of 2008 until the end of the third
quarter of 2011, NAVTEQ was a separate reportable segment of Nokia.
Prior period results for each quarter and the full year 2010 and Q1, Q2 and Q3
2011 have been recasted (on an unaudited basis) for comparability purposes
according to the new reporting format. Recasted reported financial information
can be accessed at: http://www.nokia.com/investors
The following chart sets out the year-on-year and sequential growth rates in our
net sales on a reported basis and at constant currency for the periods
indicated.

+----------------------+---------+---------+------------+---------+------------+
Note 1: Total cash and other liquid assets minus interest-bearing liabilities.
Year-on-year, net cash and other liquid assets decreased by EUR 1.4 billion
primarily due to payment of the dividend, cash outflows related to the
acquisition of Motorola Solutions' networks assets, and capital expenditures,
partially offset by positive overall net cash from operating activities and a
EUR 500 million equity investment in Nokia Siemens Networks by Siemens.
Sequentially, net cash and other liquid assets increased by EUR 514 million
primarily due to underlying profitability, net working capital improvements in
Nokia Siemens Networks, cash inflows related to IPR, positive foreign exchange
impact on our cash balances, and the receipt of a platform support payment from
Microsoft, partially offset by net cash outflows related to taxes, capital
expenditures, and hedging activities.
Our broad strategic agreement with Microsoft includes platform support payments
from Microsoft to us as well as software royalty payments from us to Microsoft.
In the fourth quarter 2011, we received the first quarterly platform support
payment of USD 250 million (EUR 180 million). We have a competitive software
royalty structure, which includes minimum software royalty commitments. Over the
life of the agreement, both the platform support payments and the minimum
software royalty commitments are expected to measure in the billions of US
Dollars.
Devices & Services
As of April 1, 2011, our Devices & Services business has two operating and
reportable segments - Smart Devices, which focuses on smartphones, and Mobile
Phones, which focuses on mass market mobile devices - as well as Devices &
Services Other. Additionally, in 2011 we announced plans to create a new
Location & Commerce business which combines NAVTEQ and Nokia's social location
services operations from Devices & Services. The Location & Commerce business is
an operating and reportable segment beginning October 1, 2011. Prior period
results for each quarter and the full year 2010 and Q1, Q2 and Q3 2011 have been

Net Sales
The year-on-year decline and sequential increase in our Devices & Services net
sales are discussed below in our operating analysis of our Smart Devices and
Mobile Phones business units. No non-recurring IPR royalty income was recognized
in the fourth quarter 2011, compared with approximately EUR 70 million
recognized in the third quarter 2011 and approximately EUR 30 million recognized
in the fourth quarter 2010 in Devices & Services Other which benefited our
overall Devices & Services results in those quarters. At constant currency,
Devices & Services net sales would have decreased 26% year-on-year and increased
12% sequentially.
The following chart sets out the net sales for our Devices & Services business
for the periods indicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequential growth
rates, by geographic area. The IPR royalty income described in the paragraph
above has been allocated to the geographic areas contained in this chart.

On a year-on-year basis, the decline in our total Devices & Services volumes in
the fourth quarter 2011 was driven by significantly lower Smart Devices volumes.
Mobile Phones volumes were approximately flat year-on-year.
The sequential increase in our total Devices & Services volumes in the fourth
quarter 2011 was driven by higher Mobile Phones and Smart Device volumes
supported by an increased seasonal demand for our devices.
During the fourth quarter 2011, our overall channel inventory increased on a
sequential basis. We ended the fourth quarter 2011 with our sales channel
inventories within our normal range of 4-6 weeks.
Average Selling Price
On a year-on-year basis, the overall decrease in our Devices & Services ASP in
the fourth quarter 2011 was driven primarily by the lower ASP in Mobile Phones
and, to a lesser extent, Smart Devices, a higher proportion of Mobile Phones
sales, the negative impact from foreign currency hedging and the appreciation of
the Euro against certain currencies, partially offset by a positive impact from
lower deferral of revenue related to services sold in combination with our
devices.
On a sequential basis, the overall increase in our Devices & Services ASP in the
fourth quarter 2011 was driven primarily by a product mix shift towards Smart
Devices, the depreciation of the Euro against certain currencies and a lower
deferral of revenue related to services sold in combination with our devices,
partially offset by a negative impact from foreign currency hedging, pricing
pressure and lower IPR royalty income as the third quarter 2011 ASP benefited
from the recognition of non-recurring IPR royalty income discussed above.
Gross Margin
On a year-on-year basis, the decline in our Devices & Services non-IFRS gross
margin in the fourth quarter 2011 was driven by gross margin declines in both
Smart Devices and Mobile Phones, partially offset by higher IPR royalty income.
On a sequential basis, the slight increase in our Devices & Services non-IFRS
gross margin in the fourth quarter 2011 was driven primarily by gross margin
improvements in Mobile Phones, almost entirely offset by the gross margin
decline in Smart Devices and lower IPR royalty income.
Operating Expenses
Devices & Services non-IFRS research and development expenses decreased 16%
year-on-year due to declines in Smart Devices and Devices & Services Other
research and development expenses, partially offset by a year-on-year increase
in Mobile Phones research and development expenses. The decreases in Smart
Devices and Devices & Services Other research and development expenses were due
primarily to a focus on priority projects and cost controls. The increase in
Mobile Phones research and development expenses was primarily due to investments
in product development to bring new innovations to the market in support of our
strategy to bring internet to the next billion, partially offset by a focus on
priority projects and cost controls.
On a sequential basis, Devices & Services non-IFRS research and development
expenses increased by 12% primarily due to an increase in Mobile Phones research
and development expenses as we invested to support our Internet for the next
billion strategy.
Devices & Services non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses decreased 5% year-on-
year, primarily due to lower sales, and increased 19% sequentially. The
sequential increase was primarily driven by higher marketing expenses,
particularly relating to our new smartphone launches in Smart Devices.
Devices & Services non-IFRS administrative and general expenses decreased 28%
year-on-year and 22% sequentially. In the fourth quarter 2011, Devices &
Services non-IFRS other income and expense had a slight positive year-on-year
and sequential impact on profitability. Reported other income and expense was
significantly adversely impacted in the fourth quarter 2011 primarily as a
result of restructuring-related expenses discussed below, which were recognized
in Devices & Services Other, partially offset by a benefit related to a cartel
claim settlement.
Cost Reduction Activities and Planned Operational Adjustments
We are continuing to target to reduce our Devices & Services non-IFRS operating
expenses by more than EUR 1 billion for the full year 2013, compared to the
recasted full year 2010 Devices & Services non-IFRS operating expenses of EUR
5.35 billion. This reduction is expected to come from a variety of different
sources and initiatives, including a planned reduction in the number of
employees and normal personnel attrition, a reduction in the use of outsourced
professionals, reductions in facility costs, and various improvements in
efficiencies.
During the fourth quarter 2011, Devices & Services recognized net charges of EUR
136 million related to restructuring activities, which included restructuring
charges and associated impairments. As of the end of the fourth quarter 2011, we
had recognized cumulative charges of EUR 797 million related to restructuring
activities in 2011. While the total extent of the restructuring activities is
still to be determined, we currently anticipate cumulative charges in Devices &
Services of around EUR 900 million before the end of 2012. We also believe total
cash outflows related to our Devices & Services restructuring activities will be
below the level of the cumulative charges related to these restructuring
activities.

Devices & Services Other net sales.
Net Sales
The year-on-year decline in our Smart Devices net sales in the fourth quarter
2011 was primarily due to significantly lower volumes. On a sequential basis,
the increase in our Smart Devices net sales in the fourth quarter 2011 was due
to the higher volumes and ASP.
Volume
The year-on-year decline in our Smart Devices volumes in the fourth quarter
2011 continued to be driven by the strong momentum of competing smartphone
platforms relative to our Symbian devices in all regions, particularly in
Europe.
On a sequential basis, the increase in our Smart Devices volumes in the fourth
quarter 2011 was primarily driven by the broader availability throughout the
quarter of the Nokia N9 and the shipments during the quarter of the Nokia Lumia
800 and 710 in selected markets, as well as increased seasonal demand for our
devices.
Average Selling Price
The year-on-year decline in our Smart Devices ASP in the fourth quarter 2011 was
driven primarily by a higher proportion of sales of lower priced Symbian devices
and price erosion due to the competitive environment, as well as the negative
impact from foreign currency hedging. Our ASP in the fourth quarter 2011
benefited from the sales of the higher priced Nokia N9 and Nokia Lumia devices
and a lower deferral of revenue related to services sold in combination with our
devices.
Sequentially, the increase in our Smart Devices ASP in the fourth quarter 2011
was driven primarily by a positive mix shift towards our newer higher priced
smartphones, the depreciation of the Euro against certain currencies and the
lower deferral of revenue related to services sold in combination with our
devices, partially offset by price erosion and the negative impact from foreign
currency hedging.
Gross Margin
The year-on-year decline in our Smart Devices gross margin in the fourth quarter
2011 was driven primarily by greater price erosion than cost erosion due to the
competitive environment and the Symbian related allowances discussed below,
partially offset by the lower deferral of revenue related to services sold in
combination with our devices and the positive impact from foreign currency
hedging.
On a sequential basis, the decline in our Smart Devices gross margin in the
fourth quarter 2011 was driven primarily by the Symbian related allowances
discussed below, greater price erosion than cost erosion, and the negative
impact from foreign currency hedging, which partially offset the positive impact
from the lower deferral of revenue related to services sold in combination with
our devices and lower fixed manufacturing costs.
Following the announcement of our strategic partnership with Microsoft in
February 2011, our strategy included the expectation to sell approximately 150
million more Symbian devices in the years to come. However, changing market
conditions are putting increased pressure on Symbian. In certain markets, there
has been an acceleration of the anticipated trend towards lower-priced
smartphones with specifications that are different from Symbian's traditional
strengths, which has contributed to a faster decline of our Symbian volumes than
we anticipated. We expect this trend to continue in 2012. To maximize the value
of the Symbian asset going forward, we expect to continue shipping Symbian
devices in specific regions and distribution channels, as well as to continue to
provide software support to our Symbian customers through 2016. As a result of
the changing market conditions, combined with our increased focus on Lumia, we
now believe we will sell fewer Symbian devices than previously anticipated.
Thus, in the fourth quarter 2011, we recognized allowances for excess component
inventory and future purchase commitments related to Symbian.

Note 1: Does not include IPR royalty income. IPR royalty income is recognized in
Devices & Services Other net sales.
Net Sales
On a year-on-year basis, our Mobile Phones net sales in the fourth quarter 2011
decreased due to the lower ASP. On a sequential basis, the increase in our
Mobile Phones net sales in the fourth quarter 2011 was due to higher volumes.
Volume
Mobile Phones volumes in the fourth quarter 2011 were approximately flat year-
on-year. This was primarily driven by our reduced portfolio of higher priced
mobile phones compared to the fourth quarter 2010, almost entirely offset by a
portfolio renewal, such as the broad availability of dual SIM devices, and
higher volumes at lower price points in the fourth quarter 2011.
On a sequential basis, the increase in our Mobile Phones volumes in the fourth
quarter 2011 was primarily driven by the broader availability of our dual SIM
devices as well as the ongoing product renewal across the mobile phones
portfolio, and to a lesser extent from higher seasonal demand for our mobile
products.
Average Selling Price
The year-on-year decline in our Mobile Phones ASP in the fourth quarter 2011 was
primarily driven by an increased proportion of sales of lower priced devices,
the negative impact from foreign currency hedging and the appreciation of the
Euro against certain currencies.
On a sequential basis, our Mobile Phones ASP was unchanged with relatively
stable prices across the portfolio. The negative impact from foreign currency
hedging in the fourth quarter 2011 was offset by the deprecation of the Euro
compared to certain currencies and the lower deferral of revenue related to
services sold in combination with our devices.
Gross Margin
The year-on-year decline in our Mobile Phones gross margin in the fourth quarter
2011 was primarily due to greater price erosion than cost erosion and the
appreciation of the Euro against certain currencies partially offset by a
positive mix shift towards higher margin mobile phones, the positive impact from
foreign currency hedging, and the lower deferral of revenue related to services
sold in combination with our devices.
The sequential increase in our Mobile Phones gross margin in the fourth quarter
2011 primarily reflected the positive impact from foreign currency hedging,
greater cost erosion than price erosion, the lower deferral of revenue related
to services sold in combination with our devices, lower warranty costs and more
efficient utilization of manufacturing capacity, partially offset by the
depreciation of the Euro against certain currencies.
Location & Commerce
On June 22, 2011, we announced plans to create a new Location & Commerce
business which combines NAVTEQ and Nokia's social location services operations
from Devices & Services. The Location & Commerce business is an operating and
reportable segment beginning October 1, 2011. In addition to a broad portfolio
of products and services for the wider internet ecosystem, the Location &
Commerce business is creating integrated social location offerings in support of
Nokia's strategic goal in smartphones, including the Nokia experience with
Windows Phone, as well as support for bringing the internet to the next billion.
From the third quarter 2008 until the end of the third quarter 2011, NAVTEQ was
a separate reportable segment of Nokia. Prior period results for each quarter
and the full year 2010 and Q1, Q2 and Q3 2011 have been recasted (on an
unaudited basis) for comparability purposes according to the new reporting
format that became effective on October 1, 2011. Recasted reported financial
information can be accessed at: http://www.nokia.com/investors.
The following chart sets out a summary of the results for Location & Commerce
for the periods indicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequential growth
rates.

+-------------------------+-------+-------+----------+-------+----------+
Net Sales
The year-on-year increase in Location & Commerce net sales in the fourth quarter
2011 was primarily driven by higher recognition of deferred revenue related to
sales of map platform licenses to Smart Devices and, to a lesser extent, by
higher sales of map content licenses to vehicle customers due to higher consumer
uptake of vehicle navigation systems, partially offset by lower sales to
portable navigation devices (PND) customers.
Sequentially, the increase in Location & Commerce net sales in the fourth
quarter 2011 was primarily due to seasonally strong sales of map content
licenses in the vehicle segment due to higher consumer uptake of vehicle
navigation systems and increased sales of updates.
Gross Margin
On a sequential basis, the decline in Location & Commerce non-IFRS gross margin
in the fourth quarter 2011 was primarily due to an increased proportion of lower
gross margin sales and a shift of research and development operating expenses to
cost of sales as a result of the divestiture of the media advertising business.
On a year-on-year basis, the decline in Location & Commerce non-IFRS gross
margin in the fourth quarter 2011 was primarily due to a shift of research and
development operating expenses to cost of sales as a result of the divestiture
of the media advertising business.
Operating Expenses
Location & Commerce non-IFRS research and development expenses decreased 16%
year-on-year reflecting a shift in expenses from research and development to
costs of sales related to the divestiture of the media advertising business.
Location & Commerce non-IFRS research and development expenses increased 1%
sequentially primarily driven by the timing of projects related to product
development.
Location & Commerce non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses decreased 22% year-on-
year primarily driven by lower spending on product marketing. Location &
Commerce non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses increased 6% sequentially,
primarily driven by seasonal increases in marketing expenses related to map
update marketing campaigns.
Location & Commerce non-IFRS administrative and general expenses decreased 5%
year-on-year primarily driven by a focus on cost controls. Location & Commerce
non-IFRS administrative and general expenses increased 13 % sequentially
primarily driven by increased depreciation related to the closure of offices.
In the fourth quarter 2011, we conducted our annual impairment testing to assess
if events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of our
goodwill may not be recoverable. As a result, we recorded a charge to operating
profit of EUR 1 090 million for the impairment of goodwill in our Location &
Commerce business. The impairment charge is based on our estimate that the
recoverable amount of Location & Commerce is EUR 4.1 billion. After the
impairment charge, the carrying amount of goodwill for Location & Commerce is
EUR 3.3 billion. The impairment negatively impacted our reported EPS by EUR
0.29.
The impairment charge is the result of an evaluation of the projected financial
performance of our Location & Commerce business. This takes into consideration
the market dynamics in digital map data and related location-based content
markets, including our estimate of the market moving long-term from fee-based
towards advertising-based models especially in some more mature markets. It also
reflects recently announced results and related competitive factors in the local
search and advertising market resulting in lower estimated growth prospects from
our location-based assets integrated with different advertising platforms. After
consideration of all relevant factors, we reduced the net sales projections for
Location & Commerce which, in turn, reduced projected profitability and cash
flows.
The Location & Commerce business is an important asset that is bringing
differentiating location-based services to Nokia, the Windows Phone ecosystem,
and other Microsoft products such as Bing. We believe this is the leading
location-based services platform with an opportunity to become tremendously
powerful as computing goes more mobile.
Nokia Siemens Networks
Nokia Siemens Networks completed the acquisition of Motorola Solutions' networks
assets on April 30, 2011. Accordingly, the results of Nokia Siemens Networks for
the fourth quarter 2011 are not directly comparable to its results for the
fourth quarter 2010.
The following chart sets out a summary of the results for Nokia Siemens Networks
for the periods indicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequential growth
rates.
