Financial Statement Release
February 11, 2016 at 08:00 (CET +1)
This is a summary of the Nokia Corporation report for fourth quarter 2015 and full year 2015 published today. The complete fourth quarter 2015 and full year 2015 report with tables is available at http://company.nokia.com/en/financials. Investors should not rely on summaries of our interim reports only, but should review the complete interim reports with tables.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR NOKIAS CONTINUING OPERATIONS
· Net sales of EUR 3.6 billion in Q4 2015 (EUR 3.5 billion in Q4 2014) and EUR 12.5 billion in full year 2015 (EUR 11.8 billion in full year 2014).
· Q4 2015 non-IFRS diluted EPS of EUR 0.15 (EUR 0.09 in Q4 2014), an increase of 67% year-on-year. Q4 2015 diluted EPS of EUR 0.13 (EUR 0.08 in Q4 2014).
· Full year 2015 non-IFRS diluted EPS of EUR 0.36 (EUR 0.27 in full year 2014), an increase of 33% year-on-year. Full year 2015 diluted EPS of EUR 0.31 (EUR 0.67 in full year 2014, benefitting from the recognition of a deferred tax asset).
· Nokias Board of Directors will propose a dividend of EUR 0.16 per share for 2015 and a special dividend of EUR 0.10 per share (dividend of EUR 0.14 per share for 2014). Proposed dividend is estimated to result in a maximum payout of approximately EUR 960 million in dividend and EUR 600 million in special dividend(1).
Nokia Networks
· 5% year-on-year net sales decrease in Q4 2015 and 3% net sales growth in full year 2015. On a reported basis, Greater China and Middle East & Africa were the strongest regions. On a constant currency basis, 12% year-on-year net sales decrease in Q4 2015 and 6% net sales decrease in full year 2015.
· Strong non-IFRS gross margin of 39.6% in Q4 2015 primarily due to elevated levels of software in Mobile Broadband, partially offset by the absence of non-recurring intellectual property rights net sales which benefitted Q4 2014.
· Strong non-IFRS operating margin of 14.6% in Q4 2015. Nokia Networks delivered full year financial results towards the high end of its original 2015 targets, with a non-IFRS operating margin of 10.9% in full year 2015, through strong operational performance and continued focus on execution excellence.
Nokia Technologies
· 170% year-on-year net sales growth in Q4 2015 and 77% net sales growth in full year 2015. On a year-on-year basis, non-IFRS operating profit grew 318% in Q4 2015 and 102% in full year 2015, primarily related to the growth in net sales resulting from a settled arbitration. This was partially offset by higher non-IFRS operating expenses.

(1) Estimated total dividend amounts of EUR 960 million payable as dividend and EUR 600 million payable as special dividend are calculated assuming full ownership of all Alcatel-Lucent outstanding shares and conversion of all Alcatel-Lucent convertible bonds, resulting in a total of approximately 6 billion Nokia shares.
(2) Results are as reported unless otherwise specified. The results information in this report is unaudited. Nokia reports HERE as part of discontinued operations from the third quarter 2015 until completion of the sale on December 4, 2015. Non-IFRS results exclude the gains from both the sale of substantially all of Nokias Devices & Services business to Microsoft (Sale of the D&S Business), as well as the sale of the HERE business net of transaction and other related costs resulting from these transactions. In addition, non-IFRS results exclude costs
related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction. Furthermore, non-IFRS results exclude goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring related costs, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokias underlying business performance. For details, please refer to the year to date discussion and the non-IFRS to reported reconciliation note to the financial statements. A reconciliation of the Q3 2015 non-IFRS results to the reported results can be found on page 31 in the complete Q3 2015 interim report with tables published on October 29, 2015. A reconciliation of the Q4 2014 non-IFRS results to the reported results can be found on pages 20-25 in the complete report for Q4 2014 and full year 2014 with tables published on January 29, 2015.
Nokia completes the sale of its HERE business in Q4 2015
Nokia completed on December 4, 2015 the sale of its HERE digital mapping and location services business to a consortium of leading automotive companies, comprising AUDI AG, BMW Group and Daimler AG.
The transaction, which was originally announced on August 3, 2015, valued HERE at an enterprise value of EUR 2.8 billion, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. Nokia received net proceeds of approximately EUR 2.55 billion from the transaction, which is consistent with Nokias earlier estimated net proceeds of slightly above EUR 2.5 billion. In Q4 2015 Nokia booked a gain on the sale and a related release of cumulative foreign exchange translation differences totaling approximately EUR 1.1 billion as a result of the transaction. The gain was reported as part of discontinued operations.
Subsequent event
On February 10, 2016, Nokia announced the results of its successful reopened public exchange offer for Alcatel-Lucent securities. Nokia will hold 91.25% of the share capital of Alcatel-Lucent, following the settlement of the securities tendered into the reopened offer, which is expected to occur on February 12, 2016. This equates to Nokia holding 88.07% of the share capital of Alcatel-Lucent on a fully diluted basis.
Nokia confirmed that it will issue approximately 321 million new shares as consideration for the Alcatel-Lucent securities that have been tendered into the reopened public exchange offer. Nokia expects to register these new shares with the Finnish Trade Register on February 12, 2016. After the registration, the total number of Nokia shares will equal approximately 5 769 million shares. Assuming the conversion of all remaining outstanding Alcatel-Lucent shares and convertible bonds into Nokia shares at the exchange ratio offered in the public exchange offers, the total number of Nokia shares would equal approximately 6 billion shares.
As of the first quarter 2016, we expect to align our financial reporting under two areas: the Networks business and Nokia Technologies. The Networks business will be comprised of four business groups: Mobile Networks, Fixed Networks, Applications & Analytics and IP/Optical Networks. Nokia Technologies will continue to operate as a separate business group, with a clear focus on licensing and the incubation of new technologies, and will include the licensing and intellectual property portfolio management operations from Alcatel-Lucent. In addition, Nokia expects to operate the undersea cables business, Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks (ASN), and the antenna systems
business, Radio Frequency Systems (RFS), as separate entities and plans to report ASN and RFS as part of Group Common Functions.
CEO STATEMENT
2015 was another year of dramatic transformation for Nokia and I am pleased that in the midst of all this change we were able to close the year with solid performances at both Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies.
Nokia Networks delivered on its commitments for the full year, with a non-IFRS operating margin at the high end of the original guidance range and net sales up three percent on a reported currency basis. Pleasingly, both Mobile Networks and Global Services capped off the year with good fourth quarter results.
Nokia Technologies saw its net sales and operating profit grow considerably, based on strong licensing growth including a contribution from the arbitration award related to our licensing agreement with Samsung.
We have said consistently that we believe that our portfolio of innovation and intellectual property is second to none in the industry and that it has significant value that can be monetized. We expect to have further discussions with Samsung related to intellectual property and technology assets that were not covered by the arbitration process and will continue to pursue new licensing opportunities in a variety of sectors over the course of 2016 and beyond.
I was particularly pleased with our progress towards completing the Alcatel-Lucent transaction in the fourth quarter, culminating with the start of combined operations in early January. Our work as a combined company has gotten off to a strong start. Teams are preparing joint bids, we are working closely with our customers to ensure we can make fast and effective decisions about overlapping areas of our portfolio, and we are on target to deliver on our previously announced synergy savings.
While the competitive environment in Networks remained generally stable in the fourth quarter, we do expect some market headwinds in 2016 as 4G/LTE rollouts in China and some other markets start to slow. The first quarter, in particular, looks quite challenging as customers assess their CAPEX plans in light of increasing macro-economic uncertainty. In this environment, we will continue our sharp focus on operational and commercial discipline, ensure we deliver synergies as quickly as possible, and focus our energy on targeting the growth segments within the overall telecom market.

NOKIAS CONTINUING OPERATIONS IN Q4 2015
FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
The following discussion is of Nokias continuing operations reported results for the fourth quarter 2015, which comprise the results of Nokias two continuing businesses Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies, as well as Group Common Functions. Comparisons are given to the fourth quarter 2014 and third quarter 2015 results, unless otherwise indicated.
Net sales
Nokias continuing operations net sales increased 3% year-on-year and increased 19% sequentially. On a constant currency basis, Nokias continuing operations net sales would have decreased 3% year-on-year and would have increased 18% sequentially.
Year-on-year discussion
The year-on-year increase in Nokias continuing operations net sales in the fourth quarter 2015 was primarily due to growth in Nokia Technologies, partially offset by lower net sales in Nokia Networks.
Sequential discussion
The sequential increase in Nokias continuing operations net sales in the fourth quarter 2015 was primarily due to growth in both Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies.
Non-IFRS Operating profit
Year-on-year discussion
Nokias continuing operations non-IFRS operating profit increased 46% year-on-year in the fourth quarter 2015, primarily due to higher non-IFRS operating profit in Nokia Technologies, partially offset by higher non-IFRS operating loss in Group Common Functions. Please see the Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies sections for the non-IFRS operating profit discussions. The higher non-IFRS operating loss in Group Common Functions was primarily due to a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses, partially offset by lower operating expenses.
On a year-on-year basis Group Common Functions non-IFRS other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 21 million in fourth quarter 2015, compared to an expense of EUR 8 million in the fourth quarter 2014. Within Group Common Functions, Nokia recorded a loss of approximately EUR 20 million in fourth quarter 2015 related to the sale of certain of Nokias investments made through its venture funds.
On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a positive impact on non-IFRS gross profit, and a negative impact on non-IFRS operating expenses, resulting in a slightly positive net impact on non-IFRS operating profit in the fourth quarter 2015.
Sequential discussion
Nokias continuing operations non-IFRS operating profit increased 55% sequentially in the fourth quarter 2015, primarily due to higher non-IFRS operating profit in Nokia Technologies and Nokia Networks, partially offset by higher non-IFRS operating loss in Group Common Functions. Please see the Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies sections for the non-IFRS operating profit discussions. The higher non-IFRS operating loss in Group Common Functions was primarily due to a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses and, to a lesser extent, higher operating expenses.
On a sequential basis Group Common Functions non-IFRS other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 21 million in the fourth quarter 2015, compared to income of EUR 17 million in the third quarter 2015. Within Group Common Functions, Nokia recorded a loss of approximately EUR 20 million in the fourth quarter 2015 related to the sale of certain of Nokias investments made through its venture funds. This compares to a gain of approximately EUR 10 million in the third quarter 2015.
On a sequential basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a slightly positive impact on non-IFRS gross profit, and a slightly negative impact on non-IFRS operating expenses, resulting in a slightly negative net impact on non-IFRS operating profit in the fourth quarter 2015.
Non-IFRS Profit
Year-on-year discussion
Nokias continuing operations non-IFRS profit increased 74% on a year-on-year basis in the fourth quarter 2015, primarily due to higher non-IFRS operating profit.
Nokias continuing operations non-IFRS tax rate in the fourth quarter 2015 was approximately 19%, compared to a rate of approximately 27% in the fourth quarter 2014. In the fourth quarter 2015, non-IFRS tax expense benefitted from the utilization of unrecognized deferred tax assets on previous losses related to Nokias ownership interests in certain unlisted technology-related funds.
Sequential discussion
Sequentially, Nokias continuing operations non-IFRS profit increased 94% in the fourth quarter 2015, primarily due to higher non-IFRS operating profit and a net positive fluctuation in non-IFRS financial income and expenses.
The net positive fluctuation in non-IFRS financial income and expenses was primarily due to lower foreign exchange related losses, receipt of higher distributions from third party venture funds and lower net interest expenses.
Nokias continuing operations non-IFRS tax rate in the fourth quarter 2015 was approximately 19%, compared to a rate of approximately 24% in the third quarter 2015. In the fourth quarter 2015, non-IFRS tax expense benefitted from the utilization of unrecognized deferred tax assets on previous losses related to Nokias ownership interests in certain unlisted technology-related funds.

Due to the very recent acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia believes it is not appropriate to provide an annual outlook for the new combined Networks business at the present time, and intends to provide its full year outlook in conjunction with its Q1 results announcement. Q1 2016 net sales and non-IFRS operating margin are expected to be influenced by factors including: · A flattish capex environment in 2016 for our overall addressable market; · A declining wireless infrastructure market in 2016, with a greater than normal seasonal decline in Q1 2016; · Competitive industry dynamics; · Product and regional mix; · The timing of major network deployments; and · Execution of integration and synergy plans. |

Continuation of strong operational performance in Nokia Networks and solid growth in Nokia Technologies
Financial highlights for Nokias continuing operations
· Net sales of EUR 3.6 billion in Q4 2015 (EUR 3.5 billion in Q4 2014) and EUR 12.5 billion in full year 2015 (EUR 11.8 billion in full year 2014).
· Q4 2015 non-IFRS diluted EPS of EUR 0.15 (EUR 0.09 in Q4 2014), an increase of 67% year-on-year. Q4 2015 diluted EPS of EUR 0.13 (EUR 0.08 in Q4 2014).
· Full year 2015 non-IFRS diluted EPS of EUR 0.36 (EUR 0.27 in full year 2014), an increase of 33% year-on-year. Full year 2015 diluted EPS of EUR 0.31 (EUR 0.67 in full year 2014, benefitting from the recognition of a deferred tax asset).
· Nokias Board of Directors will propose a dividend of EUR 0.16 per share for 2015 and a special dividend of EUR 0.10 per share (dividend of EUR 0.14 per share for 2014). Proposed dividend is estimated to result in a maximum payout of approximately EUR 960 million in dividend and EUR 600 million in special dividend(1).
Nokia Networks
· 5% year-on-year net sales decrease in Q4 2015 and 3% net sales growth in full year 2015. On a reported basis, Greater China and Middle East & Africa were the strongest regions. On a constant currency basis, 12% year-on-year net sales decrease in Q4 2015 and 6% net sales decrease in full year 2015.
· Strong non-IFRS gross margin of 39.6% in Q4 2015 primarily due to elevated levels of software in Mobile Broadband, partially offset by the absence of non-recurring intellectual property rights net sales which benefitted Q4 2014.
· Strong non-IFRS operating margin of 14.6% in Q4 2015. Nokia Networks delivered full year financial results towards the high end of its original 2015 targets, with a non-IFRS operating margin of 10.9% in full year 2015, through strong operational performance and continued focus on execution excellence.
Nokia Technologies
· 170% year-on-year net sales growth in Q4 2015 and 77% net sales growth in full year 2015. On a year-on-year basis, non-IFRS operating profit grew 318% in Q4 2015 and 102% in full year 2015, primarily related to the growth in net sales resulting from a settled arbitration. This was partially offset by higher non-IFRS operating expenses.

(1) Estimated total dividend amounts of EUR 960 million payable as dividend and EUR 600 million payable as special dividend are calculated assuming full ownership of all Alcatel-Lucent outstanding shares and conversion of all Alcatel-Lucent convertible bonds, resulting in a total of approximately 6 billion Nokia shares.
(2) Results are as reported unless otherwise specified. The results information in this report is unaudited. Nokia reports HERE as part of discontinued operations from the third quarter 2015 until completion of the sale on December 4, 2015. Non-IFRS results exclude the gains from both the sale of substantially all of Nokias Devices & Services business to Microsoft (Sale of the D&S Business), as well as the sale of the HERE business net of transaction and other related costs resulting from these transactions. In addition, non-IFRS results exclude costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction. Furthermore, non-IFRS results exclude goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring related costs, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokias underlying business performance. For details, please refer to the year to date discussion and the non-IFRS to reported reconciliation note to the financial statements. A reconciliation of the Q3 2015 non-IFRS results to the reported results can be found on page 31 in the complete Q3 2015 interim report with tables published on October 29, 2015. A reconciliation of the Q4 2014 non-IFRS results to the reported results can be found on pages 20-25 in the complete report for Q4 2014 and full year 2014 with tables published on January 29, 2015.
Nokia completes the sale of its HERE business in Q4 2015
Nokia completed on December 4, 2015 the sale of its HERE digital mapping and location services business to a consortium of leading automotive companies, comprising AUDI AG, BMW Group and Daimler AG.
The transaction, which was originally announced on August 3, 2015, valued HERE at an enterprise value of EUR 2.8 billion, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. Nokia received net proceeds of approximately EUR 2.55 billion from the transaction, which is consistent with Nokias earlier estimated net proceeds of slightly above EUR 2.5 billion. In Q4 2015 Nokia booked a gain on the sale and a related release of cumulative foreign exchange translation differences totaling approximately EUR 1.1 billion as a result of the transaction. The gain was reported as part of discontinued operations.
Subsequent event
On February 10, 2016, Nokia announced the results of its successful reopened public exchange offer for Alcatel-Lucent securities. Nokia will hold 91.25% of the share capital of Alcatel-Lucent, following the settlement of the securities tendered into the reopened offer, which is expected to occur on February 12, 2016. This equates to Nokia holding 88.07% of the share capital of Alcatel-Lucent on a fully diluted basis.
Nokia confirmed that it will issue approximately 321 million new shares as consideration for the Alcatel-Lucent securities that have been tendered into the reopened public exchange offer. Nokia expects to register these new shares with the Finnish Trade Register on February 12, 2016. After the registration, the total number of Nokia shares will equal approximately 5 769 million shares.
Assuming the conversion of all remaining outstanding Alcatel-Lucent shares and convertible bonds into Nokia shares at the exchange ratio offered in the public exchange offers, the total number of Nokia shares would equal approximately 6 billion shares.
As of the first quarter 2016, we expect to align our financial reporting under two areas: the Networks business and Nokia Technologies. The Networks business will be comprised of four business groups: Mobile Networks, Fixed Networks, Applications & Analytics and IP/Optical Networks. Nokia Technologies will continue to operate as a separate business group, with a clear focus on licensing and the incubation of new technologies, and will include the licensing and intellectual property portfolio management operations from Alcatel-Lucent. In addition, Nokia expects to operate the undersea cables business, Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks (ASN), and the antenna systems business, Radio Frequency Systems (RFS), as separate entities and plans to report ASN and RFS as part of Group Common Functions.
CEO statement
2015 was another year of dramatic transformation for Nokia and I am pleased that in the midst of all this change we were able to close the year with solid performances at both Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies.
Nokia Networks delivered on its commitments for the full year, with a non-IFRS operating margin at the high end of the original guidance range and net sales up three percent on a reported currency basis. Pleasingly, both Mobile Networks and Global Services capped off the year with good fourth quarter results.
Nokia Technologies saw its net sales and operating profit grow considerably, based on strong licensing growth including a contribution from the arbitration award related to our licensing agreement with Samsung.
We have said consistently that we believe that our portfolio of innovation and intellectual property is second to none in the industry and that it has significant value that can be monetized. We expect to have further discussions with Samsung related to intellectual property and technology assets that were not covered by the arbitration process and will continue to pursue new licensing opportunities in a variety of sectors over the course of 2016 and beyond.
I was particularly pleased with our progress towards completing the Alcatel-Lucent transaction in the fourth quarter, culminating with the start of combined operations in early January. Our work as a combined company has gotten off to a strong start. Teams are preparing joint bids, we are working closely with our customers to ensure we can make fast and effective decisions about overlapping areas of our portfolio, and we are on target to deliver on our previously announced synergy savings.
While the competitive environment in Networks remained generally stable in the fourth quarter, we do expect some market headwinds in 2016 as 4G/LTE rollouts in China and some other markets start to slow. The first quarter, in particular, looks quite challenging as customers assess their CAPEX plans in light of increasing macro-economic uncertainty. In this environment, we will continue our sharp focus on operational and commercial discipline, ensure we deliver synergies as quickly as possible, and focus our energy on targeting the growth segments within the overall telecom market.

President and CEO
Nokias continuing operations in Q4 2015
Financial discussion
The following discussion is of Nokias continuing operations reported results for the fourth quarter 2015, which comprise the results of Nokias two continuing businesses Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies, as well as Group Common Functions. Comparisons are given to the fourth quarter 2014 and third quarter 2015 results, unless otherwise indicated.
Net sales
Nokias continuing operations net sales increased 3% year-on-year and increased 19% sequentially. On a constant currency basis, Nokias continuing operations net sales would have decreased 3% year-on-year and would have increased 18% sequentially.
Year-on-year discussion
The year-on-year increase in Nokias continuing operations net sales in the fourth quarter 2015 was primarily due to growth in Nokia Technologies, partially offset by lower net sales in Nokia Networks.
Sequential discussion
The sequential increase in Nokias continuing operations net sales in the fourth quarter 2015 was primarily due to growth in both Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies.
Non-IFRS Operating profit
Year-on-year discussion
Nokias continuing operations non-IFRS operating profit increased 46% year-on-year in the fourth quarter 2015, primarily due to higher non-IFRS operating profit in Nokia Technologies, partially offset by higher non-IFRS operating loss in Group Common Functions. Please see the Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies sections for the non-IFRS operating profit discussions. The higher non-IFRS operating loss in Group Common Functions was primarily due to a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses, partially offset by lower operating expenses.
On a year-on-year basis Group Common Functions non-IFRS other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 21 million in fourth quarter 2015, compared to an expense of EUR 8 million in the fourth quarter 2014. Within Group Common Functions, Nokia recorded a loss of approximately EUR 20 million in fourth quarter 2015 related to the sale of certain of Nokias investments made through its venture funds.
On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a positive impact on non-IFRS gross profit, and a negative impact on non-IFRS operating expenses, resulting in a slightly positive net impact on non-IFRS operating profit in the fourth quarter 2015.
Sequential discussion
Nokias continuing operations non-IFRS operating profit increased 55% sequentially in the fourth quarter 2015, primarily due to higher non-IFRS operating profit in Nokia Technologies and Nokia Networks, partially offset by higher non-IFRS operating loss in Group Common Functions. Please see the Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies sections for the non-IFRS operating profit discussions. The higher non-IFRS operating loss in Group Common Functions was primarily due to a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses and, to a lesser extent, higher operating expenses.
On a sequential basis Group Common Functions non-IFRS other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 21 million in the fourth quarter 2015, compared to income of EUR 17 million in the third quarter 2015. Within Group Common Functions, Nokia recorded a loss of approximately EUR 20 million in the fourth quarter 2015 related to the sale of certain of Nokias investments made through its venture funds. This compares to a gain of approximately EUR 10 million in the third quarter 2015.
On a sequential basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a slightly positive impact on non-IFRS gross profit, and a slightly negative impact on non-IFRS operating expenses, resulting in a slightly negative net impact on non-IFRS operating profit in the fourth quarter 2015.
Non-IFRS Profit
Year-on-year discussion
Nokias continuing operations non-IFRS profit increased 74% on a year-on-year basis in the fourth quarter 2015, primarily due to higher non-IFRS operating profit.
Nokias continuing operations non-IFRS tax rate in the fourth quarter 2015 was approximately 19%, compared to a rate of approximately 27% in the fourth quarter 2014. In the fourth quarter 2015, non-IFRS tax expense benefitted from the utilization of unrecognized deferred tax assets on previous losses related to Nokias ownership interests in certain unlisted technology-related funds.
Sequential discussion
Sequentially, Nokias continuing operations non-IFRS profit increased 94% in the fourth quarter 2015, primarily due to higher non-IFRS operating profit and a net positive fluctuation in non-IFRS financial income and expenses.
The net positive fluctuation in non-IFRS financial income and expenses was primarily due to lower foreign exchange related losses, receipt of higher distributions from third party venture funds and lower net interest expenses.
Nokias continuing operations non-IFRS tax rate in the fourth quarter 2015 was approximately 19%, compared to a rate of approximately 24% in the third quarter 2015. In the fourth quarter 2015, non-IFRS tax expense benefitted from the utilization of unrecognized deferred tax assets on previous losses related to Nokias ownership interests in certain unlisted technology-related funds.

Annual operating cost synergies |
|
Approximately EUR 900 million of net operating cost synergies to be achieved in full year 2018 |
|
Compared to the combined non-IFRS operating costs of Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent for full year 2015. Expected to be derived from a wide range of initiatives related to operating expenses and cost of sales, including: · Streamlining of overlapping products and services, particularly within the Mobile Networks business group; · Rationalization of regional and sales organizations; · Rationalization of overhead, particularly within manufacturing, supply-chain, real estate and information technology; · Reduction of central function and public company costs; and · Procurement efficiencies, given the combined companys expanded purchasing power. |
|
|
Annual interest expense reduction |
|
Approximately EUR 200 million of reductions in interest expenses to be achieved on a full year basis in 2016 (update) |
|
Compared to the cost of debt run rate for the combined entity at year end 2014. This is an update to the earlier annual interest expense reduction target of approximately EUR 200 million of reductions in interest expenses to be achieved on a full year basis in 2017. |

FY16 Net sales |
|
Not provided |
|
Due to the very recent acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia believes it is not appropriate to provide an annual outlook for the new combined Networks business at the present time, and intends to provide its full year outlook in conjunction with its Q1 results announcement. Q1 2016 net sales and non-IFRS operating margin are expected to be influenced by factors including: · A flattish capex environment in 2016 for our overall addressable market; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
· A declining wireless infrastructure market in 2016, with a greater than normal seasonal decline in Q1 2016; · Competitive industry dynamics; · Product and regional mix; · The timing of major network deployments; and · Execution of integration and synergy plans. |

Financial discussion
Net sales by segment
In the fourth quarter 2015, Mobile Broadband represented 54% of Nokia Networks net sales, compared to 52% in the fourth quarter 2014 and 55% in the third quarter 2015. In the fourth quarter 2015, Global Services
represented 46% of Nokia Networks net sales, compared to 47% in the fourth quarter 2014 and 45% in the third quarter 2015.
Year-on-year discussion
The year-on-year decrease of 5% in Nokia Networks net sales in the fourth quarter 2015 was due to lower net sales in both Global Services and Mobile Broadband, as well as the absence of non-recurring intellectual property rights (IPR) net sales which benefitted the year-ago quarter.
Global Services net sales decreased 6% year-on-year in the fourth quarter 2015, primarily due to lower net sales across all business lines except for care, which increased very slightly.
Mobile Broadband net sales decreased 2% year-on-year in the fourth quarter 2015, primarily due to lower net sales in core networking technologies and lower resale of third party equipment, partially offset by growth in overall radio technologies. Within overall radio technologies, the growth was primarily due to LTE. In addition, small cells grew strongly in percentage terms on a year-on-year basis.
On a constant currency basis, Nokia Networks net sales would have decreased 12% year-on-year.
Sequential discussion
The sequential increase of 12% in Nokia Networks net sales in the fourth quarter 2015 was due to growth in both Global Services and Mobile Broadband.
Global Services net sales increased 14% sequentially in the fourth quarter 2015, primarily due to growth across all business lines except for managed services, which declined very slightly.
Mobile Broadband net sales increased 10% sequentially in the fourth quarter 2015, primarily due to growth in core networking technologies and overall radio technologies. Within overall radio technologies, the growth was primarily due to LTE, as well as legacy radio technologies.
On a constant currency basis, Nokia Networks net sales would have increased 10% sequentially.

Net sales by region
Year-on-year discussion
On a regional basis, compared to the fourth quarter 2014, Nokia Networks net sales in Asia-Pacific decreased 12%, driven by lower net sales in both Mobile Broadband and Global Services. Overall in Asia-Pacific, net sales decreased in Japan, Vietnam, and Australia, while net sales grew in India and the Philippines.
In Europe, net sales decreased 7%, driven by lower net sales in both Mobile Broadband and Global Services. The overall decrease in Europe was primarily due to lower net sales in Russia and Italy, partially offset by growth in the United Kingdom and Ukraine.
In North America, net sales decreased 6%, driven by the absence of non-recurring IPR net sales which benefitted the year-ago quarter and lower net sales in Global Services, partially offset by growth in Mobile Broadband. The decline in Global Services was primarily due to lower net sales in the network implementation and systems integration business lines. The higher net sales in Mobile Broadband was primarily due to overall radio technologies, particularly LTE.
In Latin America, net sales decreased 9%, driven by lower net sales in both Global Services and Mobile Broadband. The overall decrease in Latin America was primarily due to lower net sales in Colombia, partially offset by growth in Chile.
In Greater China, net sales increased 17% primarily driven by higher net sales in Mobile Broadband. The higher net sales in Mobile Broadband was primarily due to growth in LTE and core networking technologies, partially offset by lower net sales in other radio technologies.
In Middle East and Africa, net sales increased 2% primarily due to higher net sales in Global Services. The overall increase in Middle East and Africa was primarily due to growth in Saudi Arabia.

In Greater China, net sales decreased 1%, primarily driven by lower net sales in Mobile Broadband. The lower net sales in Mobile Broadband was primarily due to a decrease in LTE, partially offset by growth in core networking technologies and in other radio technologies.
Non-IFRS Operating profit
Year-on-year discussion
On a year-on-year basis, Nokia Networks non-IFRS operating profit decreased slightly, primarily due to lower non-IFRS operating profit in Global Services and Nokia Networks Other, partially offset by higher non-IFRS operating profit in Mobile Broadband. The decrease in non-IFRS operating profit in Global Services was primarily due to lower non-IFRS gross profit, partially offset by lower non-IFRS operating expenses. The decrease in non-IFRS operating profit in Nokia Networks Other was primarily due to lower non-IFRS gross profit and higher non-
IFRS operating expenses. The increase in Mobile Broadband non-IFRS operating profit was primarily due to higher non-IFRS gross profit and lower non-IFRS operating expenses.
Nokia Networks non-IFRS gross margin increased, primarily due to improvements in non-IFRS gross margin in Mobile Broadband, partially offset by the absence of non-recurring IPR net sales in Nokia Networks Other. The non-IFRS gross margin increase in Mobile Broadband was primarily due to elevated levels of software. The proportion of high margin software sales in the Nokia Networks sales mix was approximately 4 percentage points higher in the fourth quarter 2015 compared to the year-ago quarter.
The non-IFRS gross profit decrease in Global Services was primarily driven by the network implementation and systems integration business lines, partially offset by the care business line. The non-IFRS gross profit decrease in Nokia Networks Other was primarily due to the absence of non-recurring IPR net sales which benefitted the year-ago quarter. The non-IFRS gross profit increase in Mobile Broadband was primarily driven by elevated levels of software, partially offset by more challenging market conditions.
Nokia Networks non-IFRS research and development expenses were flat on a year-on-year basis, primarily due to increased investments in LTE and 5G, offset by continued operational improvement. The slight increase in Nokia Networks non-IFRS selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher personnel expenses and investments in IT infrastructure, partially offset by continued operational improvement. On a constant currency basis, non-IFRS research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses decreased year-on-year in the fourth quarter 2015.
Nokia Networks non-IFRS other income and expenses was an income of EUR 26 million in the fourth quarter 2015, compared to an income of EUR 6 million in the year-ago quarter. On a year-on-year basis, the change in Nokia Networks non-IFRS other income and expenses was primarily due to the release of certain doubtful account allowances, lower costs related to the sale of receivables, partially offset by higher net indirect tax expenses.
On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a significantly positive impact on non-IFRS gross profit, and a slightly negative impact on non-IFRS operating expenses, resulting in a positive net impact on non-IFRS operating profit in the fourth quarter 2015.

Financial discussion
Net sales
Year-on-year discussion
In the fourth quarter 2015, Nokia Technologies net sales increased 170%, or EUR 254 million, primarily due to two factors. First, approximately 80% of the year-on-year growth, or approximately EUR 200 million, related to non-recurring adjustments from an existing agreement. Second, approximately 20% of the year-on-year growth, or approximately EUR 50 million, related to higher intellectual property licensing income from existing and new licensees, related to settled and ongoing arbitrations. This was partially offset by lower licensing income from certain existing licensees that experienced decreases in handset sales.
On a constant currency basis, Nokia Technologies net sales would have increased 181% year-on-year.
Nokia Technologies fourth quarter 2015 net sales includes revenue from all licensing agreements, including those under arbitration. It is not a forecast of the future outcome of ongoing licensing projects.
Sequential discussion

(1)Total cash and other liquid assets less interest-bearing liabilities.
In the fourth quarter 2015, Nokias total cash and other liquid assets increased by EUR 2 963 million and Nokias net cash and other liquid assets increased by EUR 3 655 million. The sequential increase in Nokias net cash and other liquid assets in the fourth quarter 2015 was primarily due to approximately EUR 2.54 billion of net cash inflows from the sale of the HERE business, an increase in net cash of EUR 827 million related to Nokias adjusted net profit and an increase in net cash of EUR 712 million resulting from the conversion of the Nokia EUR 750 million convertible bond into shares.
Foreign exchange rates had an approximately EUR 30 million positive impact on the translation of gross cash and approximately EUR 10 million positive impact on net cash.
On a sequential basis, including discontinued operations, net cash and other liquid assets were affected by the following factors:
In the fourth quarter 2015, Nokias net cash from operating activities was EUR 460 million. Nokias continuing operations adjusted net profit before changes in net working capital was approximately EUR 780 million in the fourth quarter 2015. Nokias continuing operations had approximately EUR 60 million of restructuring-related
cash outflows in the fourth quarter 2015, related to Nokia Networks. Excluding this, Nokias continuing operations net working capital generated a decrease in net cash of approximately EUR 60 million, primarily due to an increase in receivables, partially offset by an increase in short-term liabilities and decrease in inventories. In addition, Nokias continuing operations had cash outflows of approximately EUR 140 million related to other financial income and expenses, cash outflows of approximately EUR 40 million related to income taxes and cash outflows of approximately EUR 40 million related to net interest expenses. Additionally, Nokias discontinued operations had cash inflows of approximately EUR 20 million in the fourth quarter 2015, primarily due to adjusted net profit, partially offset by a net working capital generated decrease in net cash.
In the fourth quarter 2015, Nokias continuing operations net cash outflows from investing activities primarily related to approximately EUR 90 million of capital expenditures and cash inflows of approximately EUR 30 million related to the foreign exchange impact on short-term loans receivable. Additionally, Nokias discontinued operations had net cash inflows of approximately EUR 2.54 billion in the fourth quarter 2015 related to the sale of the HERE business.
In the fourth quarter 2015, Nokias continuing operations net cash from financing activities increased primarily due to an increase in net cash of EUR 712 million resulting from the conversion of the Nokia EUR 750 million convertible bond into shares, partially offset by net cash outflows related to EUR 30 million of purchases of subsidiary shares.

Net sales
Nokias continuing operations net sales increased 6% year-on-year in full year 2015. On a constant currency basis, Nokias continuing operations net sales would have decreased 2% year-on-year.
The year-on-year increase in Nokias continuing operations net sales in full year 2015 was due to higher net sales in both Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies.
Operating profit
Nokias continuing operations operating profit increased 20% year-on-year in full year 2015, due to an increase in operating profit in Nokia Technologies and lower operating loss from Group Common Functions, partially offset by lower operating profit in Nokia Networks. Please see the Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies sections for the operating profit discussions. The lower operating loss in Group Common Functions was due a net positive fluctuation in other income and expenses, partially offset by higher operating expenses.
On a year-on-year basis, Group Common Functions other income and expenses was an income of EUR 94 million in full year 2015, compared to an income of EUR 12 million in full year 2014. Within Group Common Functions, Nokia recorded income of approximately EUR 100 million in full year 2015 related to Nokias investments made through its venture funds. During 2015, Nokia Growth Partners sold its holdings in Ganji.com to 58.com for a combination of cash and shares, and liquidated the shares received. BlueRun Ventures had also invested in Ganji.com and participated in the transaction.
On a year-on-year basis, Group Common Functions operating expenses increased primarily due to transaction and other related costs.
On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a significantly positive impact on gross profit, and a negative impact on operating expenses, resulting in a positive net impact on operating profit in full year 2015.
Profit
Nokias continuing operations profit decreased to EUR 1.2 billion in full year 2015, compared to EUR 2.7 billion in full year 2014. The decrease in profit compared to the year-ago period was primarily due to the absence of a EUR 2.0 billion non-cash tax benefit reported in tax expenses, as certain deferred tax assets were recognized as Nokia re-established a pattern of sufficient tax profitability in Finland and Germany to utilize the cumulative losses, foreign tax credits and other temporary differences. This was partially offset by a net positive fluctuation in financial income and expenses.
The net positive fluctuation in financial income and expenses was primarily due to lower net interest expenses, including the absence of a EUR 123 million one-time expense related to the redemption of materially all of Nokia Networks borrowings in full year 2014 and the absence of a EUR 57 million accounting charge related to the repayment of EUR 1.5 billion convertible bonds issued to Microsoft in full year 2014.
The share of results of associated companies and joint ventures in full year 2015 includes an out of period adjustment of approximately EUR 25 million. Nokia has historically accounted for the results of a certain joint venture in arrears, as the results have not been material. Primarily due to an increase in the entitys earnings, a portion of the amounts reflected in full year 2015 should have been recorded in the fourth quarter 2014.

Net sales by segment
In full year 2015, Mobile Broadband represented 53% of Nokia Networks net sales, compared to 54% in full year 2014. In full year 2015, Global Services represented 47% of Nokia Networks net sales, compared to 46% in full year 2014.
The year-on-year increase of 3% in Nokia Networks net sales in full year 2015 was primarily due to an increase in net sales in Global Services, partially offset by the absence of non-recurring IPR net sales which benefitted full year 2014.
Global Services net sales increased 6% year-on-year in full year 2015, primarily due to growth across all business lines except for managed services.
On a constant currency basis, Nokia Networks net sales would have decreased 6% year-on-year.

On a regional basis, compared to full year 2014, Nokia Networks net sales in Greater China increased 24% driven by higher net sales in both Mobile Broadband and Global Services. The higher net sales in Mobile Broadband was primarily due to growth in LTE and core networking technologies, partially offset by lower net sales in other radio technologies. The higher net sales in Global Services was driven by growth across all business lines.
In Middle East and Africa, net sales increased 12% driven by higher net sales in both Global Services and Mobile Broadband. The overall increase in Middle East and Africa was primarily due to growth in several countries in the Middle East.
In North America, net sales increased 4%, driven by higher net sales in Global Services, partially offset by lower net sales in Mobile Broadband, as well as the absence of non-recurring IPR net sales which benefitted full year 2014. The higher net sales in Global Services was primarily due to strength in the network implementation business line, including the benefit from the acquisition of SAC Wireless. The lower net sales in Mobile Broadband was primarily due to lower net sales in overall radio technologies.
In Europe, net sales decreased 4%, primarily driven by lower net sales in Global Services. The overall decrease in Europe was primarily due to lower net sales in Germany and Russia, partially offset by growth in the United Kingdom.
In Asia-Pacific, net sales decreased 2%, driven by lower net sales in both Global Services and Mobile Broadband. The overall decrease in Asia-Pacific was primarily due to lower net sales in Japan and South Korea, partially offset by growth in India and Myanmar.
In Latin America, net sales decreased 4%, driven by lower net sales in both Mobile Broadband and Global Services. The overall decrease in Latin America was primarily due to lower net sales in Brazil, partially offset by growth in Argentina.
Operating profit
The year-on-year decrease in Nokia Networks operating profit in full year 2015 was primarily due to lower operating profit in Mobile Broadband and Nokia Networks Other. The decrease in Mobile Broadband operating profit in full year 2015 was primarily due to higher operating expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit. The decrease in operating profit in Nokia Networks Other was primarily due to lower gross profit and higher operating expenses. The approximately flat Global Services operating profit in full year 2015 was primarily due to higher operating expenses, offset by higher gross profit.
On a year-on-year basis, the slight decrease in Nokia Networks gross margin in full year 2015 was primarily due to a lower gross margin in Global Services, a negative mix shift due to a higher proportion of Global Services net sales and a lower proportion of Mobile Broadband net sales and the absence of non-recurring IPR net sales in Nokia Networks Other, partially offset by a higher gross margin in Mobile Broadband. The year-on-year
decrease in gross margin in Global Services was primarily due to lower gross margin in the network implementation and network planning and optimization business lines, partially offset by higher gross margin in the care business line. The year-on-year increase in gross margin in Mobile Broadband was primarily due to higher gross margin in overall radio technologies. In addition, Nokia Networks gross margin was negatively impacted by higher costs related to the short-term impact of strategic entry deals, and challenging market conditions. The proportion of high margin software sales in the Nokia Networks sales mix was approximately flat in full year 2015, compared to full year 2014.
The year-on-year increase in gross profit in Mobile Broadband in full year 2015 was primarily due to higher gross profit in overall radio technologies, partially offset by higher costs related to the short-term impact of strategic entry deals, and challenging market conditions. The year-on-year increase in Global Services gross profit in full year 2015 was primarily due to higher gross profit in the care business line, partially offset by lower gross profit in the network implementation business line.
During full year 2015, Nokia Networks recorded amounts in order to correct items previously reported in 2014 and 2013 as cost of sales and reductions to accounts receivable. The impact of this correction was to reduce cost of sales in full year 2015 by EUR 37 million, of which EUR 7 million related to 2014 and EUR 30 million to 2013. The error related to businesses divested in 2013 where Nokia Networks continued to operate certain accounting functions under a transitional arrangement and erroneously recorded pass through costs of the disposed businesses as costs of Nokia Networks.
The year-on-year increase in Nokia Networks research and development expenses in full year 2015 was primarily due to higher personnel expenses and increased investments in LTE, 5G, small cells, and cloud core, partially offset by continued operational improvements. On a year-on-year basis, Nokia Networks selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher personnel expenses, partially offset by a continued focus on cost efficiency.
Nokia Networks other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 92 million in full year 2015, compared to an expense of EUR 104 million in full year 2014. On a year-on-year basis, the change in Nokia Networks other income and expenses was primarily due to the absence of a EUR 31 million charge in the year-ago period for anticipated contractual remediation costs related to a technical issue with a third party component, lower costs related to the sale of receivables, lower net indirect tax expenses and the release of certain doubtful account allowances, partially offset by higher restructuring and associated charges.
In full year 2015, Nokia Networks other income and expenses included EUR 121 million of restructuring and associated charges, compared to EUR 57 million of restructuring and associated charges in full year 2014. During full year 2015, Nokia Networks recorded costs of EUR 85 million, related to certain cost reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives. The related annual cost savings are expected to be approximately EUR 70 million in 2016. The costs related to the reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives consist of personnel severance charges in Germany, the United States, China and Japan, and are expected to result in cash outflows of approximately EUR 80 million. In addition, Nokia Networks recorded EUR 37 million of costs following
changes in estimates for the Brazil and Germany provisions, related to the Global Restructuring Program announced in 2011.
On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a significantly positive impact on gross profit, and a negative impact on operating expenses, resulting in a positive net impact on operating profit in full year 2015.

Net sales
In full year 2015, Nokia Technologies net sales increased 77%, or EUR 446 million, year-on-year, primarily due to two factors. First, approximately 70% of the year-on-year growth, or approximately EUR 310 million, of Nokia Technologies net sales in full year 2015 related to non-recurring net sales from existing and new agreements, revenue share related to previously divested IPR, and IPR divestments. Second, approximately 30% of the year-on-year growth, or approximately EUR 130 million, of Nokia Technologies net sales in full year 2015 related to higher IPR licensing income from existing and new licensees, related to settled and ongoing arbitrations, as well as Microsoft becoming a more significant intellectual property licensee in conjunction with the Sale of the D&S Business. This was partially offset by lower licensing income from certain existing licensees that experienced decreases in handset sales.
On a constant currency basis, Nokia Technologies net sales would have increased 75% year-on-year.
Nokia Technologies full year 2015 net sales includes revenue from all licensing agreements, including those under arbitration. It is not a forecast of the future outcome of ongoing licensing projects.
Operating profit
The year-on-year increase in Nokia Technologies operating profit for full year 2015 was primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher operating expenses.
The increase in Nokia Technologies research and development expenses was primarily due to higher investments in digital media and technology incubation, higher patent portfolio costs, and higher investments in digital health. On a year-on-year basis, Nokia Technologies selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to the ramp up of new businesses, increased licensing activities, and higher business support costs.
On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a slightly positive impact on gross profit, and a slightly negative impact on operating expenses, resulting in a slightly negative net impact on operating profit for full year 2015.
Discontinued operations
The following discussion is of Nokias discontinued operations results for January-December 2015, which comprise the results of Nokias discontinued HERE and D&S businesses. Comparisons are given to January-December 2014, unless otherwise indicated.
Full year 2015 primarily includes the results of the HERE business until the sale on December 4th, 2015. Full year 2014 primarily includes the results of the HERE business for the full year and the results for the D&S business until the sale on April 25th 2014.

Net sales
In full year 2015, discontinued operations net sales decreased 69%, primarily due to the absence of net sales related to the D&S business.
Operating profit
The year-on-year change in operating profit in discontinued operations was primarily due to the absence of a EUR 1.2 billion impairment charge related to HERE which negatively affected full year 2014 and lower selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses primarily due to the Sale of the D&S Business, partially offset by lower gross profit.
Profit
The year-on-year increase in profit in discontinued operations was primarily due to an improvement in operating profit and, to a lesser extent, the absence of tax expenses related to the de-recognition of deferred
tax assets related to HEREs historical Dutch tax losses, which negatively affected full year 2014. This was partially offset by lower gain on the sale of businesses, net of tax.
The gain on the sale of businesses included a positive foreign exchange difference reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit related to the sale of HERE in the full year 2015. Excluding the positive foreign exchange difference reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit, the sale of HERE would have generated a loss of EUR 116 million. In 2014, the gain on the sale of businesses included a negative foreign exchange difference reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit related to the Sale of the D&S Business.

(1) Total cash and other liquid assets consist of the following line items from our consolidated statement of financial position: Cash and cash equivalents (bank and cash as well as available-for-sale investments, cash equivalents), available-for sale investments, liquid assets and investments at fair value through profit and loss, liquid assets. Net cash and other liquid assets equals total cash and other liquid assets less long-term interest-bearing liabilities (including the current portion thereof) and less short-term borrowings.
In full year 2015, Nokias total cash and other liquid assets increased by EUR 2 134 million and Nokias net cash and other liquid assets increased by EUR 2 752 million.
Foreign exchange rates had an approximately EUR 60 million positive impact on the translation of gross cash and approximately EUR 100 million positive impact on net cash.
In full year 2015, including discontinued operations, net cash and other liquid assets were affected by the following factors:
In full year 2015, Nokias net cash from operating activities was EUR 507 million. Nokias continuing operations adjusted net profit before changes in net working capital was approximately EUR 2 070 million in full year 2015. Nokias continuing operations had approximately EUR 160 million of restructuring-related cash outflows in full year 2015, related to Nokia Networks. Excluding this, Nokias continuing operations net working capital generated a decrease in net cash of approximately EUR 810 million, primarily due to an increase in receivables and decrease in short-term liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in inventories. The decrease in short-term liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable. In addition, Nokias continuing operations had cash outflows of approximately EUR 40 million related to net interest expenses, cash outflows of approximately EUR 370 million related to other financial income and expenses, and cash outflows of approximately EUR 260 million related to income taxes. Additionally, Nokias discontinued operations had cash inflows of approximately EUR 80 million in full year 2015, primarily due to adjusted net profit.
In full year 2015, Nokias continuing operations had net cash outflows from investing activities primarily related to cash outflows of approximately EUR 100 million related to acquisitions completed in full year 2015, cash outflows of approximately EUR 20 million related to the foreign exchange impact on short-term loans receivable and approximately EUR 290 million of capital expenditures. Additionally, Nokia discontinued operations had net cash inflows of approximately EUR 2.59 billion primarily related to the sale of businesses in full year 2015.
In full year 2015, Nokias continuing operations had net cash outflows from financing activities primarily related to the payment of the dividend of approximately EUR 510 million, cash outflows of approximately EUR 170 million related to share repurchases and cash outflows of approximately EUR 50 million related to purchases of subsidiary shares. This was partially offset by an increase in net cash of EUR 712 million resulting from the conversion of the Nokia EUR 750 million convertible bond into shares.
Shares
The total number of Nokia shares on December 31, 2015, equaled 3 992 863 716. On December 31, 2015, Nokia and its subsidiary companies owned 53 668 695 Nokia shares, representing approximately 1.3% of the total number of Nokia shares and voting rights.
Dividend
Nokias Board of Directors will propose a dividend of EUR 0.16 per share for 2015 and a special dividend of EUR 0.10 per share. The distributable funds on the balance sheet of the parent company as of December 31, 2015 amounted to EUR 9 456 million. The planned proposal by Nokias Board of Directors is estimated to result in a maximum payout of approximately EUR 960 million in dividends and EUR 600 million in special dividends. These estimated amounts have been calculated assuming the conversion of all remaining outstanding Alcatel-Lucent shares and convertible bonds into Nokia shares at the exchange ratio offered in the public exchange offers, resulting in a total of approximately 6 billion Nokia shares.

Notes to Financial statements
1. Basis of preparation
The unaudited, consolidated, condensed interim financial statements of Nokia have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting). The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for 2014, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as published by the IASB. The same accounting policies, methods of computation and applications of judgment are followed in these interim financial statements as were followed in the consolidated financial statements of Nokia for 2014.
These interim financial statements were authorized for issue by management on February 10, 2016.
Non-IFRS measures presented in this document exclude certain non-recurring items (special items) for all periods. In addition, non-IFRS results exclude intangible asset amortization and other purchase price accounting-related items arising from business acquisitions. Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with IFRS, and non-IFRS financial measures as used by Nokia may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies or persons.
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.
We have two businesses: Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies, and three operating and reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Mobile Broadband and Global Services within Nokia Networks, and Nokia Technologies. We also present certain segment data for discontinued operations. Numbers are always presented for the continuing operations of Nokia, unless otherwise indicated. Below is a description of our three reportable segments.
Mobile Broadband provides mobile operators with radio and core network software together with the hardware needed to deliver mobile voice and data services. Global Services provides mobile operators with a broad range of services, including network implementation, care, managed services, network planning and optimization as well as systems integration. Nokia Technologies is built on Nokias Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and brand and related licensing. Nokia Networks also contains Nokia Networks Other, which includes net sales and related cost of sales and operating expenses of non-core businesses, IPR net sales and related costs. It also includes restructuring and associated charges for Nokia Networks business.
Additionally, as a result of the sale of the HERE business announced on August 3, 2015, where Nokia sold its HERE business to a consortium of leading automotive companies on December 4, 2015, and of the transaction announced on September 3, 2013, where Nokia sold substantially all of its Devices & Services business to Microsoft on April 25, 2014 (the Sale of the D&S Business), the HERE and the Devices & Services businesses have been presented as discontinued operations on which we report certain separate information.
In full year 2015, the Group acquired two businesses. The combined purchase consideration amounts to EUR 96 million.
Company/business |
|
Description |
The wireless network business from Panasonic in Japan (1) |
|
The business transfer included Panasonics LTE/3G wireless base station system business, related wireless equipment system business, fixed assets and business contracts with Panasonics customers as well as more than 300 Panasonic employees. The Group acquired the business on January 1, 2015. |
Eden Rock Communications, LCC |
|
Eden Rock Communications is pioneer in SON and creator of Eden-NET, an industry leading multivendor centralized SON solution. The Group acquired 100% ownership interest in Eden Rock Communications, LLC on July 10, 2015. |
(1) Asset deal
On April 15, 2015 Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent announced their intention to combine to create an innovation leader in next generation technology and services for an IP connected world. Nokia obtained control over Alcatel-Lucent on January 4, 2016 through a public exchange offer in France and in the United States, on the basis of 0.55 of a new Nokia share for every Alcatel-Lucent share. The acquisition is presented as a non-adjusting subsequent event in these interim financial statements (Note 15, Subsequent events).
During the second quarter 2015, the Group recorded amounts in order to correct items previously reported in 2014 and 2013 as cost of sales and reductions to accounts receivable. The impact of this correction was to reduce cost of sales in the current period by EUR 37 million, of which EUR 7 million related to 2014 and EUR 30 million to 2013. The error related to businesses divested in 2013 where the Group continued to operate certain accounting functions under a transitional arrangement and erroneously recorded pass through costs of the disposed businesses as costs of the Group. During the first quarter 2015 the Group recorded a correction which resulted in an increase of the results of associated companies and joint ventures by EUR 25 million in the current period. This correction related to the result of a joint venture for the fourth quarter 2014. Nokia had historically accounted for the results of the joint venture in arrears as the results have not been material for the Group. The Group evaluated these items in relation to the current period as well as the periods in which they originated and determined that the corrections are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements in all periods.
Improvements to IFRS 2010-2012 and 2011-2013 cycles
On January 1, 2015, the Group adopted amendments to multiple IFRS standards, which resulted from the IASBs annual improvement projects for the 2010-2012 and 2011-2013 cycles. They comprise amendments that result in accounting changes for presentation, recognition or measurement purposes as well as terminology or editorial amendments related to a variety of individual IFRS standards. The amendments did not have a material impact on the Groups consolidated financial statements.

2. Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation, Continuing Operations (unaudited)
In addition to information on our reported IFRS results, we provide certain information on a non-IFRS, or underlying business performance, basis. Non-IFRS results exclude certain non-recurring items (special items) for all periods. In addition, non-IFRS results exclude intangible asset amortization and other purchase price accounting related items arising from business acquisitions. We believe that our non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokias underlying business performance by excluding the above-described items that may not be indicative of Nokias 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.

9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, NOKIA GROUP, Continuing Operations, reported (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 and Level 3 requiring most management judgment. At the end of each reporting period Nokia categorizes its financial assets and liabilities to appropriate level of fair value hierarchy.

(1) For items not carried at fair value the following fair value measurement methods are used. The fair value is set to carrying amount for available-for-sale investments carried at cost less impairment for which no reliable fair value has been possible to estimate. These assets are tested for impairment annually using a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of loan receivables and payables is estimated based on discounted cash flow method or current market values of similar instruments (level 2). The fair values of long-term interest bearing liabilities are based on discounted cash flow analysis (level 2) or quoted prices (level 1). The fair value is estimated to be equal to the carrying amount for short-term financial assets and financial liabilities due to limited credit risk and short time to maturity.
Items included in the following table are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Level 3 includes a large number of investments in unlisted equities and unlisted funds, including investments managed by Nokia Growth Partners specializing in growth-stage investing and by BlueRun Ventures focusing on early stage opportunities. Within level 3 fair value is determined by using one or more valuation techniques, where the use of the market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach generally consists of calculating the net present value of estimated future cash flows. For unlisted funds the selection of appropriate valuation techniques by the fund managing partner may be affected by the availability and reliability of relevant inputs. In some cases, one valuation technique may provide the best indication of fair value while in other circumstances, multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate.
The inputs generally considered in determining the fair value include the original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations or other transactions undertaken by the issuer, offerings in the equity or debt capital markets, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors. Level 3 investments are valued on a quarterly basis taking into consideration any changes, projections and assumptions, as well as any changes in economic and other relevant conditions. The fair value may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the managing partner in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the managing partner due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value of individual investments, but no individual input has a significant impact on the total fair value of Nokias level 3 investments. The following table shows a reconciliation of the opening and closing balances of Level 3 financial assets:

The gains and losses from financial assets categorized in level 3 are included in other operating income and expenses in cases where the investment and disposal objectives for these investments are business driven. In other cases the gains and losses are included in financial income and expenses. A net gain of EUR 4 million (net loss of EUR 2 million in 2014) related to level 3 financial instruments held at December 31, 2015, was included in the profit and loss during 2015.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, reported (unaudited)
On April 15, 2015, Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent announced their intention to combine through a Public Exchange Offer (the Exchange Offer) in France and in the United States. Alcatel-Lucent is a global leader in IP networking, ultra-broadband access and cloud applications. The combined company will leverage the combined scale of its operations, complementary technologies, portfolios and geographical presence and unparalleled innovation capabilities to lead in next generation network technology and services and create access to an expanded addressable market with improved long term growth opportunities. As part of the Exchange Offer, all holders of Alcatel-Lucent ordinary shares, Alcatel-Lucent American Depositary Shares (ADS) and OCEANE convertible bonds (collectively, the Alcatel-Lucent Equity Securities) could exchange their Alcatel-Lucent Equity Securities for Nokia shares on the basis of 0.55 of a new Nokia share for every Alcatel-Lucent share.
Nokia obtained control of Alcatel-Lucent on January 4, 2016 when the interim results of the successful initial Exchange Offer were announced by the French stock market authority, Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF). As part of the initial Exchange Offer, Nokia acquired 76.31% of the share capital and at least 76.01% of the voting rights of Alcatel-Lucent, 89.14% of the OCEANEs 2018, 24.34% of the OCEANEs 2019 and 15.11% of the OCEANEs 2020. Nokia issued 1 455 678 563 new Nokia ordinary shares and new Nokia ADSs in total as a result of the initial Exchange Offer.
On January 14, 2016, as required by AMF General Regulation, Nokia reopened its Exchange Offer in France and the United States based on the same terms and conditions used in the initial Exchange Offer for the outstanding Alcatel-Lucent Equity Securities not tendered during the initial Exchange Offer period.
Following the initial and reopened Exchange Offers, Nokia holds 91.25% of the share capital and at least 91.17% of the voting rights of Alcatel-Lucent. Nokia holds 99.62%, 37.18% and 68.17% for the OCEANE 2018, OCEANE 2019 and OCEANE 2020 convertible bonds, respectively.
Nokia will issue 320 701 193 new Nokia ordinary shares and new Nokia ADSs in total as a result of the reopened Exchange Offer. After these shares are registered with the Finnish Trade Register on February 12, 2016, the total number of Nokia shares outstanding will equal 5 769 443 837 shares. Assuming the conversion of all remaining outstanding Alcatel-Lucent Equity Securities into Nokia shares at the exchange ratio offered in the initial and reopened Exchange Offers, the total number of Nokia shares outstanding would equal approximately 6 billion shares.
Nokia has determined that the initial and reopened Exchange Offers are linked transactions that must be considered together as a single arrangement given that the reopened Exchange Offer is required by AMF General Regulation and is based on the same terms and conditions as the initial Exchange Offer. The purchase consideration for the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent is comprised of the fair value of the Alcatel-Lucent Equity Securities obtained by Nokia through the initial and reopened Exchange Offers plus the portion of the fair value of Alcatel-Lucent stock options and performance shares to be settled with Nokia shares that is attributable to pre-combination services. The fair value of the purchase consideration will be determined based on the closing price of the Nokia share of EUR 6.58 on NASDAQ Helsinki on January 4, 2016 and the Exchange Offer ratio of 0.55 Nokia share for every one Alcatel-Lucent share. The estimation of the fair value of the purchase consideration and the individual purchase consideration components is currently under assessment by Nokia.
In accordance with the terms of the OCEANEs and subject to applicable law, Nokia reserves the right to cause Alcatel Lucent to redeem for cash at par value plus, as applicable, accrued interest, any series of the OCEANEs if less than 15% of the issued OCEANEs of any such series remain outstanding at any time. Nokia intends to conduct an assessment of various alternatives to obtain at least 95% of the share capital and voting rights of Alcatel-Lucent. With 95% of the share capital and voting rights, Nokia can, in accordance with applicable law and following a buy-out offer, squeeze-out the remaining Alcatel-Lucent Equity Securities, enabling Nokia to obtain 100% of the share capital and voting rights of Alcatel-Lucent.
Alcatel-Lucent Equity Securities that may be acquired by Nokia in the future (including through the squeeze-out) will be accounted for as an equity transaction with the remaining non-controlling interests in Alcatel-Lucent. As such, any new Nokia shares or cash consideration paid to obtain the additional Alcatel-Lucent Equity Securities will be recorded directly within equity against the carrying amount of non-controlling interests.
Following the public announcement of the interim results of the initial Exchange Offer on January 4, 2016 and the reopened Exchange Offer on February 10, 2016, Nokia commenced the preparation of the purchase accounting for the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent including the preparation of a purchase price allocation to assess the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. However, due to the short timeframe between the announcement of the results of the initial and reopened Exchange Offers and Nokias release of Q4 and full year 2015 earnings, detailed estimates of the purchase accounting for the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent are not currently available. Nokia expects to obtain additional information and to conduct additional analyses in order to provide provisional purchase accounting information on the fair value of the purchase consideration and the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of Nokias 2015 Annual Report on Form 20-F and Nokias release of Q1 2016 earning Based on a preliminary assessment, Nokia expects potentially material purchase accounting adjustments in relation to the fair values recognized for goodwill, intangible assets, deferred taxes, inventories, deferred revenue and interest-bearing liabilities. Nokia also expects to record fair value adjustments in relation to its assessment of other assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.
