& Cloud, and Media
* Ericsson today discloses restated financials for the new three segments, for

As previously announced, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) will start to report financials
according to new segments starting from the first quarter 2017. The earnings
report for the first quarter will be published April 25, 2017. To facilitate
year-on-year comparisons, Ericsson today discloses the restated financials for
each quarter of 2016, and for the full year 2015.
The three segments reported are:
Networks - Products and services with a focus on evolving and managing our
customers' telecom networks. The portfolio of radio networks and backhaul
solutions are based on industry standards and can also be industrialized and
adjusted to meet the demands of other industry verticals such as utilities,
transport, and public safety. In addition, Ericsson services capabilities
address operator demand in an increasingly complex network environment.
IT & Cloud - Products and services providing solutions for our customers'
digital transformation journeys across the Support Systems, Telecom Core, and IT
Cloud domains through a combination of products, technology and expertise in
networks, software, cloud, and business processes.
Media - Products and services that enable content owners, broadcasters, TV
service providers and network operators to efficiently deliver, manage and
monetize new TV experiences.
Financial disclosures for each segment include:
* Net Sales
* Gross income and gross margin
* Operating income and operating margin
* EBITA and EBITA margin
* Restructuring charges
Net Sales for segments Networks and IT & Cloud includes a breakdown of sales
into products and services.
There is no change in the regional structure. Net sales will be reported in 10
geographical regions plus Region Other. Broadcast services, previously reported
in Region Other, is now reported per geographical region. In addition, part of
the business related to former Telcordia has been transferred from the
geographic regions to Region Other.

Ericsson presented indications of 2015 financial performance by segment at the
Investor Update in New York on November 10, 2016. The final restated financials
for 2015 show a higher net sales and operating margin for segment Networks while
the net sales and operating margin for segment IT & Cloud are lower.
Two factors explain this change:
* Following final decisions on common cost allocation principles, a higher
share of such costs, previously in Networks, is now reported as part of IT &
Cloud.
* Following clarified accountability for customer support, a higher share of
customer support revenues, previously in IT & Cloud, is now reported as part
of Networks.
2015 operating margin for segment Media is in line with what was presented at
the Investor Update.
