*Q2 2005 special items

 

Nokia’s operating profit for the second quarter 2005 includes a gain of EUR 37 million related to real estate sales booked in the group common other income.

Nokia’s financial income was positively affected by a gain of EUR 17 million, representing the sale of the remaining portion of the France Telecom bond.

The positive impact of these special items on Q2 2005 EPS was EUR 0.01.

 

Q2 2004 special items

Special items in the second quarter 2004 had a positive impact on EPS of EUR 0.03.

 

** New IFRS Standards

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) were subject to changes as of January 1, 2005. Nokia’s second-quarter, first-half and full-year 2004 financial accounts now reflect the retrospective implementation of IFRS 2 and IAS 39R.

 

JORMA OLLILA, CHAIRMAN AND CEO:

 

I was very happy to see strong overall sales growth of 25% year on year for the quarter, with even higher sales growth coming from our mobile device business. At the same time, Nokia’s EPS grew by 20% compared with the second quarter of the previous year.

 

In our mobile device volumes, we also saw year-on-year growth of 34%, which pushed our market share in mobile devices up to an estimated 33%. This clearly showed our ability to capitalize on good industry volume momentum in emerging markets as well as maintain our leading position in the high-end smartphone market.

 

Overall industry volumes were slightly higher than we expected, prompting us to upgrade our full-year market estimate by 20 million to about 760 million units.  But as this growth came primarily from emerging markets where low-end products predominate and pricing pressures are currently intense, industry average selling prices continued to edge downwards. This

was certainly the case for Nokia in the second quarter, which in turn impacted our profitability. We currently believe these trends will continue for both the industry and Nokia for the remainder of the year.

 

New products and operational efficiency remain key in our ability to mitigate the impact of mix shifts and pricing pressure on our profitability. Since the beginning of the year, we have already launched 34 new mobile devices across different price points. In the medium to longer term, we are looking at optimizing our global manufacturing capacity for different segments and products, as well as further developing our demand-supply network.

 

I am delighted that we gained or held our mobile device market share in all regions. Our 33% market share in the second quarter was a result of strong sequential gains in Latin America, China and North America, while keeping our market share in both Asia-Pacific and Europe/Middle East/Africa. In 3G devices, we also gained market share, which was in line with our expectations.

 

Our mobile infrastructure business performed well in the second quarter, especially in Latin America. However, the combined effects of a fiercely competitive market and our ongoing push into new growth markets are expected to lower Networks’ profitability in the second half, compared with the first half 2005.

 

Looking at the quarter as a whole, there is a good deal of success to build on across the business in an increasingly challenging environment. Industry consolidation among market leaders in both the device and networks businesses is ongoing, but this is a game that Nokia is well positioned to win. To do this, we will continue to make targeted and decisive investments into marketing and R&D.

 

With our upgraded mobile device portfolio at the high end, and volume advantage, brand and quality at the low end – where growth is increasingly driven – we have a strong base to expand our product and technology leadership.

 

INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS

Based on volume developments during the second quarter 2005, Nokia now expects the overall mobile device market for 2005 to reach about 760 million units, compared with our previous estimate of 740 million units, and up from an estimated 643 million units in 2004. We expect higher volume growth to be driven primarily by an expanding mobile subscriber base in developing markets.

 

We continue to expect the overall mobile device market in 2005 to grow in value. However, as the proportion of lower-priced entry-level phones continues to increase, industry average selling prices are expected to trend down for the remainder of the year.

 

In mobile infrastructure, Nokia continues to expect the overall market in 2005 to be slightly up compared with 2004 in euro terms. Operators in developing countries are at various stages of acceleration in their capacity upgrades to meet rising subscriber growth, while in advanced markets, targeted investment in capacity and network optimization are also expected to continue.

 

OUTLOOK FOR THIRD QUARTER 2005

Third-quarter Nokia group net sales are expected to be in the range of EUR 7.9 billion to EUR 8.2 billion, compared with EUR 7.1 billion in the third quarter 2004.  EPS (diluted) is expected to be in the range of EUR 0.14 to EUR 0.17, compared with EPS (diluted) EUR 0.15 in the third quarter 2004.

 

In the near future, Nokia intends to discontinue giving numerical sales and EPS guidance in its quarterly earnings announcements. This is in line with our recent move towards broader voluntary disclosure of data and information at the business group financial level and recent regulatory issues and ongoing changes in disclosure regulations.

 

Q2 2005 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

Nokia Group

Nokia’s second-quarter 2005 group net sales increased by 25% to EUR 8.1 billion, compared with EUR 6.5 billion in the second quarter 2004. At constant currency, group net sales would have increased by 27%. All four of Nokia’s business groups contributed to this year-on-year sales growth.

Nokia’s second-quarter operating profit grew 13% year on year to EUR 1.0 billion, compared with EUR 0.9 billion in the second quarter 2004, with an operating margin of 12.5% (13.7%).

 

Operating cash flow for the second quarter 2005 was EUR 0.5 billion, compared with EUR 1.4 billion for the second quarter 2004, and total combined cash and other liquid assets were EUR 11.2 billion, compared with EUR 12.6 billion at March 31, 2005. As of June 30, 2005, our net debt-equity ratio (gearing) was -80%, compared with -94% at March 31, 2005.

 

Mobile devices

For the second quarter 2005, the total mobile device volume achieved by our Mobile Phones, Multimedia and Enterprise Solutions business groups reached 60.8 million units, representing a year-on-year rise of 34% and sequential growth of 13%. Overall industry volume for the same period reached an estimated 183 million units, representing 24% annual growth and 8% sequential growth.

 

In smartphones, according to Nokia estimates, the total industry volume reached about 12 million units for the second quarter 2005, compared with an estimate of 3.5 million units in the second quarter 2004. Nokia’s own smartphone volume grew to 6.7 million units, compared with 2.1 million units in the second quarter 2004.

Nokias year-on-year volume growth in China was supported by the ongoing expansion of our distribution system into more rural areas. In Europe/Middle East/Africa, year-on-year volume growth in the second quarter 2005 was positively affected by a recovery of our market position in Western Europe and continued strong market volumes in the Middle East and Africa. In North America, Nokias second-quarter volumes declined year on year, marked by a continuing challenging, competitive environment for Nokia.

 

Based on our preliminary market estimate, Nokia’s market share for the second quarter 2005 grew to 33%, compared with 31% in the second quarter 2004 and 32% in the first quarter 2005. Strong sequential market share gains were achieved in Latin America followed by China and North America, while our share in other regions remained unchanged.

 

Nokia average selling prices in the second quarter declined to EUR 105, compared with EUR 108 in the second quarter 2004 and EUR 110 in the first quarter of this year. This primarily reflected continued market pricing pressure as well as stronger volume growth in emerging markets, where the product mix is weighted towards lower priced entry-level phones. We expect these trends to continue for the remainder of the year.

 

Mobile Phones: Second-quarter 2005 net sales grew 20% year on year to EUR 4.9 billion, compared with EUR 4.1 billion in the second quarter 2004, driven by good demand. Sales growth was strongest in Europe/Middle East/Africa followed by China and Asia Pacific, while Latin America was virtually flat and North America declined significantly.

 

Operating profit declined 2% to EUR 789 million, compared with EUR 802 million in the second quarter 2004, with an operating margin of 16.2% (19.8%). Profitability in the second quarter 2005 was affected by continued pricing pressure in the market and a higher proportion of lower priced entry-level phone sales driven by stronger demand in emerging markets, compared with the same period in 2004. A year-on-year increase in sales and marketing expenses, supporting a high number of new product launches and branding initiatives, also impacted second-quarter profitability.

 

5



 

Multimedia: Second-quarter 2005 net sales increased 89% year on year to EUR 1.4 billion, compared with EUR 729 million in the second quarter 2004. Sales were strongest in Europe/Middle East/Africa followed by Asia-Pacific and China, while sales in North America and Latin America continued to be disappointing. Sales were driven by strong marketing efforts and portfolio management resulting in significantly increased demand for Nokia’s Series 60 based smartphones, like the Nokia 7610 and the newly-released Nokia 6680, which was the number one revenue generator in Multimedia for the quarter.

 

Multimedia second-quarter operating profit increased to EUR 126 million, compared with an operating loss of EUR 64 million in the second quarter 2004, with an operating margin of 9.2% (-8.8%). Profitability was positively affected by a strong sales performance in the imaging smartphone business. Sales and marketing expenses, compared with the second quarter 2004, were significantly higher, supporting the launch of the new Nokia Nseries sub-brand.

 

Enterprise Solutions: Second-quarter 2005 net sales grew by 7% to EUR 198 million, compared with EUR 185 million in the second quarter 2004. Sales were supported by the wider availability of business-optimized mobile applications and new versions of the Nokia 9300 smartphone and Nokia 9500 Communicator that support different languages and operator requirements. Sales of the Nokia 9300 also increased momentum in June. However, net sales were partially offset by price declines in the messaging device category. Firewall sales were down slightly, year on year, consistent with overall global market declines seen in the first quarter 2005.

 

Networks: Second-quarter 2005 net sales increased by 6% to EUR 1.6 billion, compared with EUR 1.5 billion in the second quarter 2004. Sales were supported by very high growth in Latin America followed by Asia-Pacific, which more than offset flat sales in Europe/Middle East/Africa, lower sales in North America and to a lesser extent China.

 

Networks second-quarter operating profit decreased by 8% to EUR 209 million, compared with EUR 227 million in the second quarter 2004, with an operating margin of 12.9% (14.8%).

                  A 3G core network deal with Vodafone Hungary and a contract extension with 3G Infrastructure Services AB to expand the Swedish operator’s 3G/WCDMA radio network.

 

                  At the end of June 2005, there were an estimated 28 million 3G/WCDMA subscribers globally –  with the number growing roughly 10% per month since January – and 78 commercial WCDMA networks up and running. Nokia has been a supplier in almost half of these.

 

                  Nokia underlined its strength in HSPA, which brings higher data speeds to 3G, with six public deals with T-Mobile, Elisa and Wataniya Telecom, and 15 non-public agreements to date.

 

                  The company introduced the Nokia Prepaid Tracker, a networks solution designed for emerging markets, which lets subscribers track their prepaid balance and call expenses.

                  Technology announcements in the second quarter focused on optimizing our user experience and included:

 

                  Cooperation with a high-end optics company.

                  Advances in Mobile TV through new pilots in Singapore, the UK and Australia and the public availability of Nokia’s DVB-H air interface specifications.

                  The introduction of a new Series 60 browser, which Nokia will build on open source components.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT

Nokia repurchased through its share repurchase plan a total of 40 800 000 shares on the Helsinki Stock Exchanges at an aggregate price of approximately EUR 549 101 812 during the period from May 4, 2005 to May 31, 2005. The price paid was based on the market price at the time of repurchase. The shares were repurchased to be used for the purposes specified in the authorization held by the Board. The aggregate par value of the shares purchased was EUR 2 448 000, representing approximately 0.92% of the share capital of the company and of the total voting rights. These new holdings did not have any significant effect on the relative holdings of the other shareholders of the company nor on their voting power.

 

Effective April 22, 2005, a total of 230 million shares held by Nokia Corporation were cancelled pursuant to the shareholders’ resolution taken at the Annual General Meeting on April 7, 2005. As a result of the cancellation, the share capital was reduced by the aggregate par value of the shares cancelled, EUR 13 800 000, corresponding to less than 5% of the share capital of the company and the total voting rights. The cancellation did not reduce the shareholders’ equity, and it did not have a significant effect on the relative holdings of the other shareholders of the company nor on their voting power.

 

On June 30, 2005, Nokia and its subsidiary companies owned 41 411 984 Nokia shares. The shares had an
