Full year 2018 guidance reiterated following solid Q3 results
This is a summary of the Nokia Corporation financial report for Q3 and January-September 2018 published today. The complete financial report for Q3 and January-September 2018 with tables is available at www.nokia.com/financials.

RAJEEV SURI, PRESIDENT AND CEO, ON Q3 2018 RESULTS
Nokia’s third-quarter results validate our earlier view that conditions would improve in the second half of 2018. This was particularly evident in our excellent momentum in orders, growth across all five of our Networks business groups, and improved profitability compared to the first half of the year. Despite some risks related to short-term delays in project timing and product deliveries, we remain on track to deliver on our full-year guidance.
We are executing well on our strategy with particularly good progress in Nokia Software and expansion to select enterprise vertical markets. Separately today, we announced steps to accelerate that progress as well as sharpen our customer focus and maintain cost leadership. These are important steps that give us added confidence in our ability to deliver on our 2020 financial commitments.
Q3 and January-September 2018 reported and non-IFRS results. Refer to note 1, “Basis of Preparation”, note 2, “Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation” and note 15, “Performance measures”, in the “Financial statement information” section for details.

· Reported net sales in Q3 2018 were EUR 5.5bn, compared to EUR 5.5bn in Q3 2017. On a constant currency basis, reported net sales grew by 1% year on year.
· Reported net sales in Q3 2018, excluding non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales which benefitted the year-ago period, grew by 3% year-on-year (4% on a constant currency basis). In Q3 2018, we achieved year-on-year growth across all five of our Networks business groups, as well as in Nokia Technologies.
· Reported diluted EPS in Q3 2018 was negative EUR 0.02, compared to negative EUR 0.03 in Q3 2017, primarily driven by lower restructuring and impairment charges, partially offset by the absence of non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales, which benefitted the year-ago period, our gross profit performance and income taxes.
· Non-IFRS diluted EPS in Q3 2018 was EUR 0.06, compared to EUR 0.09 in Q3 2017. Non-IFRS diluted EPS, excluding non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales, declined by EUR 0.01 year-on-year, as we were able to partially offset our gross profit performance with continued operating expense reductions, in line with our cost savings program.
· Net cash and current financial investments decreased by approximately EUR 270mn sequentially. In Q3 2018, we generated cash profits, which were more than offset by changes in net working capital, capital expenditures, payment of dividend withholding tax and restructuring and associated cash outflows. We expect to end 2018 with a strong financial position, based on strong seasonality in Q4.
· We reiterate 2018 non-IFRS diluted EPS guidance and remain on target to deliver EUR 1.2bn of recurring annual cost savings in full year 2018.

Guidance |
|
Commentary |
|
Nokia |
|
Non-IFRS operating margin |
|
9-11% for full year 2018 and |
|
Nokia’s guidance for significant improvement between full year 2018 and full year 2020 is primarily due to expectations for: |
|
|
|
Non-IFRS diluted earnings per share |
|
EUR 0.23 - 0.27 in full year 2018 and |
|
a) Improved results in Nokia’s Networks business, which are detailed below; b) Improved results in Nokia Technologies, which are detailed below; and c) Benefits from our EUR 700 million cost reduction program announced on October 25, 2018, which are detailed in the “Cost savings program” discussion in the Financial results section. (updated commentary) (This is an update to earlier commentary for lower Nokia support function costs within Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other.) |
|
|
|
Dividend |
|
Approximately 40% to 70% of non-IFRS diluted EPS on a long-term basis |
|
Nokia’s Board of Directors is committed to proposing a growing dividend, including for 2018. |
|
|
|
Recurring free cash flow |
|
Slightly positive in full year 2018 and clearly positive in full year 2020 |
|
Recurring free cash flow is expected to improve over the longer-term, due to lower cash outflows related to restructuring and network equipment swaps(1) and improved operational results over time. |
|
|
|
Recurring annual cost savings for Nokia, excluding Nokia Technologies |
|
Approximately EUR 1.2 billion of recurring annual cost savings in full year 2018, of which approximately EUR 800 million are expected from operating expenses(1) |
|
The reference period is full year 2015, in which the combined operating expenses of Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent, excluding Nokia Technologies, were approximately EUR 7.3 billion. |
|
|
|
Network equipment swaps |
|
Approximately EUR 1.3 billion of charges and cash outflows in total(1) (update) |
|
The charges related to network equipment swaps are being recorded as non-IFRS exclusions, and therefore do not affect Nokia’s non-IFRS operating profit. (This is an update to earlier guidance for approximately EUR 1.4 billion of charges and cash outflows in total.) |
|
|
|
Non-IFRS financial income and expenses |
|
Expense of approximately EUR 350 million in full year 2018 and approximately EUR 300 million over the longer-term |
|
Nokia’s outlook for non-IFRS financial income and expenses in full year 2018 and over the longer-term is expected to be influenced by factors including: · Net interest expenses related to interest-bearing liabilities and defined benefit pension and other post-employment benefit plans; · Foreign exchange fluctuations and hedging costs; and · Expenses related to the sale of receivables. |
|
|
|
Non-IFRS tax rate |
|
Approximately 30% for full year 2018 and 25% over the longer-term |
|
Nokia’s outlook for non-IFRS tax rate for full year 2018 and over the longer-term is expected to be influenced by factors including the absolute level of profits, regional profit mix and any further changes to our operating model. Nokia expects cash outflows related to taxes to be approximately EUR 400 million in full year 2018 and approximately EUR 450 million over the longer-term until Nokia’s US or Finnish deferred tax assets are fully utilized. |
|
|
|
Capital expenditures |
|
Approximately EUR 700 million in full year 2018 and approximately EUR 600 million over the longer-term |
|
Primarily attributable to Nokia’s Networks business, and consistent with the depreciation of property, plant and equipment over the longer-term. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nokia’s Networks business |
|
Net sales |
|
Outperform its primary addressable market in 2018 and over the longer-term |
|
For Nokia’s Networks business, Nokia expects net sales to outperform its primary addressable market and operating margin to expand between full year 2018 and full year 2020. |
|
|
|
Operating margin |
|
6-9% for full year 2018 and |
|
Nokia’s outlook for net sales and operating margin for Nokia’s Networks business in 2018 and 2020 is expected to be influenced by factors including: · An approximately 1 to 3 percent decline in the primary addressable market for Nokia’s Networks business in full year 2018, compared to 2017, on a constant currency basis; · Customer demand for 5G, with commercial 5G network deployments expected to begin near the end of 2018; · Improving market conditions in the second half of 2018, with particular acceleration in the fourth quarter in North America, following weakness in the first half of 2018; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
· Growth in the primary addressable market for Nokia’s Networks business in 2019 and 2020, on a constant currency basis; · Our ability to scale our supply chain operations and to procure certain standard components to meet increasing demand. (This is an update to earlier commentary for our ability to scale our supply chain operations to meet increasing demand); · Recovery actions to address increased price pressure, including the ability to offset price erosion through cost reductions; · The timing of completions and acceptances of certain projects, particularly related to 5G; · Focus on targeted growth opportunities in attractive adjacent markets; · Building a strong standalone software business; · Improved R&D productivity resulting from new ways of working and the reduction of legacy platforms over time; · Lower support function costs, including IT and site costs; · Uncertainty related to potential mergers or acquisitions by our customers; · Product and regional mix; and · Competitive and other industry dynamics. |

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

Results are as reported and relate to continuing operations unless otherwise specified. The financial information in this report is unaudited. Non-IFRS results exclude costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and other purchase price fair value adjustments, restructuring and associated charges and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. For details, please refer to note 2, “Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation”, in the notes to the Financial statement information in this report. Change in net sales at constant currency excludes the effect of changes in exchange rates in comparison to euro, our reporting currency. For more information on currency exposures, please refer to note 1, “Basis of Preparation”, in the “Financial statement information” section in this report.
Nokia, Q3 2018 compared to Q3 2017
Nokia non-IFRS and reported net sales were both down approximately 1% year-on-year. On a constant currency basis, Nokia non-IFRS net sales were approximately flat year-on-year and Nokia reported net sales grew approximately 1% year-on-year.
Reported net sales in Q3 2018, excluding approximately EUR 180 million of non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales which benefitted the year-ago period, grew by approximately 3% year on year, with growth across all 5 of our Networks business groups, as well as in Nokia Technologies.
In our Networks business, our order backlog was strong at the end of Q3 2018, and we continue to expect commercial 5G network deployments to begin near the end of 2018. We continued to build momentum in our end-to-end strategy, with approximately 43% of our sales pipeline now comprised of cross-business group deals. We also continued to make progress with our strategy to diversify and grow by targeting attractive adjacent markets, with continued year-on-year growth in net sales to large enterprise vertical and webscale customers.
In Nokia Technologies, we maintained our strong track record, with 19% year-on-year growth in recurring licensing net sales. The decrease in net sales on a year-on-year basis was primarily due to the absence of approximately EUR 180 million of non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales, which benefitted the year-ago period. We continued to make good progress on licensing agreements. Subsequent to the end of Q3 2018, we extended our patent licensing agreement with Samsung and reiterated our financial guidance for Nokia Technologies.
Nokia non-IFRS diluted EPS amounted to EUR 0.06, compared to EUR 0.09 in the year-ago period. Non-IFRS diluted EPS, excluding non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales which benefitted the year-ago period, declined by EUR 0.01 year-on-year. Adjusted for the non-recurring item, the decline in non-IFRS diluted EPS was primarily driven by lower gross profit across all three reportable segments of our Networks business, partially offset by improved recurring gross profit performance in our Technologies business, as well as lower operating expenses in both Networks and Technologies.
Nokia reported diluted EPS amounted to negative EUR 0.02, compared to negative EUR 0.03 in the year-ago period, primarily driven by lower restructuring and associated charges, lower impairment of assets and improved recurring gross profit performance in our Technologies business, partially offset by the absence of approximately EUR 180 million of non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales, which benefitted the year-ago period, lower gross profit across all three reportable segments in our Networks business and income taxes.
Nokia, January-September 2018 compared to January-September 2017
Nokia reported net sales decreased 5% year-on-year. On a constant currency basis, Nokia reported net sales were flat year-on-year.
In our Networks business, our order backlog was strong at the end of Q3 2018, and we continue to expect commercial 5G network deployments to begin near the end of 2018. We continued to build momentum in our end-to-end strategy, with approximately 43% of our sales pipeline now comprised of cross-business group deals. We also continued to make progress with our strategy to diversify and grow by targeting attractive adjacent markets, with continued year-on-year growth in net sales to large enterprise vertical and webscale customers.
In Nokia Technologies, we maintained our strong track record, with 18% year-on-year growth in recurring licensing net sales. The decrease in net sales on a year-on-year basis was primarily due to the absence of approximately EUR 170 million of non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales, which benefitted the year-ago period. We continued to make good progress on licensing agreements. Subsequent to the end of Q3 2018, we extended our patent licensing agreement with Samsung and reiterated our financial guidance for Nokia Technologies.
Nokia reported operating loss amounted to EUR 611 million, compared to EUR 403 million in the year-ago period. This was primarily driven by lower gross profit across all three reportable segments in our Networks business and the absence of approximately EUR 170 million of non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales, which benefitted the year-ago period, partially offset by lower restructuring and associated charges and lower impairment of assets.
Nokia reported diluted EPS amounted to negative EUR 0.13, compared to negative EUR 0.19 in the year-ago period. This was primarily driven by the absence of expenses related to the early redemption of debt, lower restructuring and associated charges and income taxes, partially offset by lower gross profit across all three reportable segments in our Networks business and the absence of approximately EUR 170 million of non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales, which benefitted the year-ago period.

In the third quarter 2018, net cash used in operating activities was EUR 82 million:
· Nokia’s adjusted profit before changes in net working capital was EUR 354 million in the third quarter 2018.
· In the third quarter 2018, Nokia experienced a decrease in net cash related to net working capital of approximately EUR 340 million, of which approximately EUR 110 million related to restructuring and associated cash outflows, and approximately EUR 230 million related to an
increase in inventories and an increase in receivables, partially offset by an increase in liabilities.
· The increase in receivables was approximately EUR 80 million.
· The increase in inventories was approximately EUR 270 million, primarily due to our decision to ensure sufficient flexibility to deliver higher levels of equipment sales.
· The increase in liabilities was approximately EUR 130 million, primarily due to an increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a decrease in contract liabilities.
In the third quarter 2018, net cash used in investing activities primarily related to capital expenditures of approximately EUR 140 million.
In the third quarter 2018, net cash used in financing activities primarily related to the payment of withholding tax of approximately EUR 130 million, associated with the dividend paid in the second quarter 2018.

We now expect restructuring and associated charges to total EUR 1 750 million and the related cash outflows to total EUR 2 100 million, both of which are EUR 150 million below our previous expectations. In addition, we now expect the charges and cash outflows related to network equipment swaps to total EUR 1 300 million, which is EUR 100 million below our previous expectations.
Note that the above expectations do not reflect the changes resulting from the cost reduction program announced on October 25, 2018. We expect the program to result in a EUR 700 million reduction of non-IFRS annualized operating expenses and production overheads by the end of 2020 compared to the end of 2018, of which EUR 500 million is expected from operating expenses. The restructuring charges and cash outflows are both expected to be EUR 900 million.
Under the cost reduction program announced on October 25, 2018, Nokia is targeting savings from a wide range of areas, including investments in digitalization to drive more automation and productivity; further process and tool simplification; significant reductions in central support functions to reach best-in-class cost levels; prioritization of R&D programs to best create long-term value; a sharp reduction of R&D in legacy products; driving efficiency from further application of our best-in-class common software foundation and innovative software development techniques; the consolidation of selected cross-company activities; and further reductions in real estate and other overhead costs.
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
Nokia delivered another solid quarter on its strategic commitments and its 5G leadership position across business groups and geographies.
In the first pillar of our strategy, leading in high-performance, end-to-end networks with communication service providers:
Nokia announced a $3.5 billion, multi-year 5G network deal with T-Mobile to accelerate the deployment of a nationwide 5G network in the US.
In September, AT&T named Nokia as one of its 5G suppliers with the US operator’s announcement to introduce mobile 5G in parts of five additional cities — Houston, Jacksonville, Louisville, New Orleans, and San Antonio — this year.
Also in September, Nokia and Sprint gave the first live demonstration in the US of a 5G New Radio connection over a dual mode-capable Massive MIMO radio.
Earlier in the quarter, Verizon and Nokia completed the first transmission of a 3GPP New Radio 5G signal to a receiver situated in a moving vehicle. The test followed the companies’ successful completion of a series of outdoor data sessions over the 5G New Radio standard.
Nokia announced plans to sell the majority of its IP Video business to Volaris Group of Canada. The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2018.
Idea Cellular in Delhi started to deploy Nokia’s cloud-native core technology as part of the operator’s digitalization effort to meet increasing data and mobile broadband demand.
Ooredoo Myanmar selected Nokia to secure its telecom and ICT networks against cyber threats. Nokia analysed Ooredoo’s systems using Nokia’s Security Risk Index. The Managed Security Service then implemented performance improvements to ensure that critical information assets are adequately protected against known and unknown threats.
Early in the quarter, the consulting and research firm Analysys Mason rated Nokia’s AVA cognitive services platform as the leading Telco AI Ecosystem (TAE) offering in the market. The firm highlighted the AVA platform’s ability, ahead of the competition, to give vendors a single TAE in all their applications and intelligence across multiple systems and enable the optimization of end-to-end processes.
Nokia WING (Worldwide IoT Network Grid) momentum continued with Tele2 IoT launching a new global IoT platform, EnCore, making it the first operator to offer commercial IoT services to enterprises using Nokia WING. In September, WING won the global ‘corporate award’ in the Smart Emerging Technologies category at ITU Telecom World.
In the second pillar of our strategy, expanding network sales to select vertical markets needing high-performing, secure networks:
Nokia and Tencent signed an agreement to accelerate 5G webscale research and applications to benefit millions of Internet users in China.
In the third pillar of our strategy, developing a strong, standalone software business at scale:
Telia Company chose Nokia’s NetGuard Identity Access Manager to enhance security across the operator’s networks in Sweden and Finland.
Also in the quarter, the Nokia Intelligent Care Assistant solution was introduced into the Salesforce AppExchange. The Nokia Intelligent Care Assistant integrates the Salesforce Service Cloud with Nokia’s Autonomous Customer Care software, equipping agents with insights to improve customer satisfaction and enrich and monetize digital experiences.
In the quarter, Nokia Software demonstrated the strength of its portfolio, as well as orders and net sales momentum, by winning major accounts including British Telecom, Telenor One Europe, STC, Telefonica UK and Sky.
In the fourth pillar of our strategy, which is now focused exclusively on licensing:
Nokia announced that it expects the licensing rate for the Nokia 5G standard essential patent (SEP) portfolio to be capped at EUR 3 per mobile phone. Nokia said its licensing practices for licensing 5G SEPs for mobile phones will be consistent with its licensing undertakings made to relevant standard setting organizations.
Nokia’s brand licensee, HMD Global, continued the refresh of its smartphone portfolio with the launch of the Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 5.1 Plus. HMD also announced plans to double its manufacturing capacity in India to satisfy demand.
In the quarter, Nokia expanded choice for licensees in the automotive sector by joining the Avanci licensing platform.
Also, subsequent to the end of Q3 2018, Nokia extended its patent licensing agreement with Samsung. Nokia will follow its existing practices for disclosing patent licensing revenue in its quarterly announcements and expects that revenues for the extended agreement will start to be recognized in the first quarter of 2019.

Interim Report for Q3 and January-September 2018
Full year 2018 guidance reiterated following solid Q3 results
Rajeev Suri, President and CEO, on Q3 2018 results
Nokia’s third-quarter results validate our earlier view that conditions would improve in the second half of 2018. This was particularly evident in our excellent momentum in orders, growth across all five of our Networks business groups, and improved profitability compared to the first half of the year. Despite some risks related to short-term delays in project timing and product deliveries, we remain on track to deliver on our full-year guidance.
We are executing well on our strategy with particularly good progress in Nokia Software and expansion to select enterprise vertical markets. Separately today, we announced steps to accelerate that progress as well as sharpen our customer focus and maintain cost leadership. These are important steps that give us added confidence in our ability to deliver on our 2020 financial commitments.
Q3 and January-September 2018 reported and non-IFRS results. Refer to note 1, “Basis of Preparation”, note 2, “Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation” and note 15, “Performance measures”, in the “Financial statement information” section for details.

· Reported net sales in Q3 2018 were EUR 5.5bn, compared to EUR 5.5bn in Q3 2017. On a constant currency basis, reported net sales grew by 1% year on year.
· Reported net sales in Q3 2018, excluding non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales which benefitted the year-ago period, grew by 3% year-on-year (4% on a constant currency basis). In Q3 2018, we achieved year-on-year growth across all five of our Networks business groups, as well as in Nokia Technologies.
· Reported diluted EPS in Q3 2018 was negative EUR 0.02, compared to negative EUR 0.03 in Q3 2017, primarily driven by lower restructuring and impairment charges, partially offset by the absence of non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales, which benefitted the year-ago period, our gross profit performance and income taxes.
· Non-IFRS diluted EPS in Q3 2018 was EUR 0.06, compared to EUR 0.09 in Q3 2017. Non-IFRS diluted EPS, excluding non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales, declined by EUR 0.01 year-on-year, as we were able to partially offset our gross profit performance with continued operating expense reductions, in line with our cost savings program.
· Net cash and current financial investments decreased by approximately EUR 270mn sequentially. In Q3 2018, we generated cash profits, which were more than offset by changes in net working capital, capital expenditures, payment of dividend withholding tax and restructuring and associated cash outflows. We expect to end 2018 with a strong financial position, based on strong seasonality in Q4.
· We reiterate 2018 non-IFRS diluted EPS guidance and remain on target to deliver EUR 1.2bn of recurring annual cost savings in full year 2018.

Guidance |
|
Commentary |
|
Nokia |
|
Non-IFRS operating margin |
|
9-11% for full year 2018 and |
|
Nokia’s guidance for significant improvement between full year 2018 and full year 2020 is primarily due to expectations for: a) Improved results in Nokia’s Networks business, which are detailed below; |
|
|
|
Non-IFRS diluted earnings per share |
|
EUR 0.23 - 0.27 in full year 2018 and |
|
b) Improved results in Nokia Technologies, which are detailed below; and c) Benefits from our EUR 700 million cost reduction program announced on October 25, 2018, which are detailed in the “Cost savings program” discussion in the Financial results section. (updated commentary) (This is an update to earlier commentary for lower Nokia support function costs within Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other.) |
|
|
|
Dividend |
|
Approximately 40% to 70% of non-IFRS diluted EPS on a long-term basis |
|
Nokia’s Board of Directors is committed to proposing a growing dividend, including for 2018. |
|
|
|
Recurring free cash flow |
|
Slightly positive in full year 2018 and clearly positive in full year 2020 |
|
Recurring free cash flow is expected to improve over the longer-term, due to lower cash outflows related to restructuring and network equipment swaps(1) and improved operational results over time. |
|
|
|
Recurring annual cost savings for Nokia, excluding Nokia Technologies |
|
Approximately EUR 1.2 billion of recurring annual cost savings in full year 2018, of which approximately EUR 800 million are expected from operating expenses(1) |
|
The reference period is full year 2015, in which the combined operating expenses of Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent, excluding Nokia Technologies, were approximately EUR 7.3 billion. |
|
|
|
Network equipment swaps |
|
Approximately EUR 1.3 billion of charges and cash outflows in total(1) |
|
The charges related to network equipment swaps are being recorded as non-IFRS exclusions, and therefore do not affect Nokia’s non-IFRS operating profit. (This is an update to earlier guidance for approximately EUR 1.4 billion of charges and cash outflows in total.) |
|
|
|
Non-IFRS financial income and expenses |
|
Expense of approximately EUR 350 million in full year 2018 and approximately EUR 300 million over the longer-term |
|
Nokia’s outlook for non-IFRS financial income and expenses in full year 2018 and over the longer-term is expected to be influenced by factors including: · Net interest expenses related to interest-bearing liabilities and defined benefit pension and other post-employment benefit plans; · Foreign exchange fluctuations and hedging costs; and · Expenses related to the sale of receivables. |
|
|
|
Non-IFRS tax rate |
|
Approximately 30% for full year 2018 and 25% over the longer-term |
|
Nokia’s outlook for non-IFRS tax rate for full year 2018 and over the longer-term is expected to be influenced by factors including the absolute level of profits, regional profit mix and any further changes to our operating model. Nokia expects cash outflows related to taxes to be approximately EUR 400 million in full year 2018 and approximately EUR 450 million over the longer-term until Nokia’s US or Finnish deferred tax assets are fully utilized. |
|
|
|
Capital expenditures |
|
Approximately EUR 700 million in full year 2018 and approximately EUR 600 million over the longer-term |
|
Primarily attributable to Nokia’s Networks business, and consistent with the depreciation of property, plant and equipment over the longer-term. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nokia’s Networks business |
|
Net sales |
|
Outperform its primary addressable market in 2018 and over the longer-term |
|
For Nokia’s Networks business, Nokia expects net sales to outperform its primary addressable market and operating margin to expand between full year 2018 and full year 2020. |
|
|
|
Operating margin |
|
6-9% for full year 2018 |
|
Nokia’s outlook for net sales and operating margin for Nokia’s Networks business in 2018 and 2020 is expected to be influenced by factors including: · An approximately 1 to 3 percent decline in the primary addressable market for Nokia’s Networks business in full year 2018, compared to 2017, on a constant currency basis; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
· Customer demand for 5G, with commercial 5G network deployments expected to begin near the end of 2018; · Improving market conditions in the second half of 2018, with particular acceleration in the fourth quarter in North America, following weakness in the first half of 2018; · Growth in the primary addressable market for Nokia’s Networks business in 2019 and 2020, on a constant currency basis; · Our ability to scale our supply chain operations and to procure certain standard components to meet increasing demand. (This is an update to earlier commentary for our ability to scale our supply chain operations to meet increasing demand); · Recovery actions to address increased price pressure, including the ability to offset price erosion through cost reductions; · The timing of completions and acceptances of certain projects, particularly related to 5G; · Focus on targeted growth opportunities in attractive adjacent markets; · Building a strong standalone software business; · Improved R&D productivity resulting from new ways of working and the reduction of legacy platforms over time; · Lower support function costs, including IT and site costs; · Uncertainty related to potential mergers or acquisitions by our customers; · Product and regional mix; and · Competitive and other industry dynamics. |

|
Grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 10% over the 3-year period ending 2020 |
|
Due to risks and uncertainties in determining the timing and value of significant patent, brand and technology licensing agreements, Nokia believes it is not appropriate to provide annual outlook ranges for Nokia Licensing within Nokia Technologies. Although annual results are difficult to forecast, Nokia expects net sales growth and operating margin expansion over the 3-year period ending 2020. |

|
Operating margin |
|
Expand to approximately 85% for full year 2020 |
|
In full year 2017, licensing net sales were approximately EUR 1.6 billion, of which approximately EUR 300 million were non-recurring in nature and related to catch-up net sales for prior years.
Nokia’s outlook for net sales and operating margin for Nokia Licensing within Nokia Technologies is expected to be influenced by factors including:
· The timing and value of new patent licensing agreements with smartphone vendors, automotive companies and consumer electronics companies; · Renegotiation of expiring patent licensing agreements; · Increases or decreases in net sales related to existing patent licensees; · Results in brand and technology licensing; · Costs to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights; and · The regulatory landscape. |

Nokia non-IFRS and reported net sales were both down approximately 1% year-on-year. On a constant currency basis, Nokia non-IFRS net sales were approximately flat year-on-year and Nokia reported net sales grew approximately 1% year-on-year.
Reported net sales in Q3 2018, excluding approximately EUR 180 million of non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales which benefitted the year-ago period, grew by approximately 3% year on year, with growth across all 5 of our Networks business groups, as well as in Nokia Technologies.
In our Networks business, our order backlog was strong at the end of Q3 2018, and we continue to expect commercial 5G network deployments to begin near the end of 2018. We continued to build momentum in our end-to-end strategy, with approximately 43% of our sales pipeline now comprised of cross-business group deals. We also continued to make progress with our strategy to diversify and grow by targeting attractive adjacent markets, with continued year-on-year growth in net sales to large enterprise vertical and webscale customers.
In Nokia Technologies, we maintained our strong track record, with 19% year-on-year growth in recurring licensing net sales. The decrease in net sales on a year-on-year basis was primarily due to the absence of approximately EUR 180 million of non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales, which benefitted the year-ago period. We continued to make good progress on licensing agreements. Subsequent to the end of Q3 2018, we extended our patent licensing agreement with Samsung and reiterated our financial guidance for Nokia Technologies.
Nokia non-IFRS diluted EPS amounted to EUR 0.06, compared to EUR 0.09 in the year-ago period. Non-IFRS diluted EPS, excluding non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales which benefitted the year-ago period, declined by EUR 0.01 year-on-year. Adjusted for the non-recurring item, the decline in non-IFRS diluted EPS was primarily driven by lower gross profit across all three reportable segments of our Networks business, partially offset by improved recurring gross profit performance in our Technologies business, as well as lower operating expenses in both Networks and Technologies.
Nokia reported diluted EPS amounted to negative EUR 0.02, compared to negative EUR 0.03 in the year-ago period, primarily driven by lower restructuring and associated charges, lower impairment of assets and improved recurring gross profit performance in our Technologies business, partially offset by the absence of approximately EUR 180 million of non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales, which benefitted the year-ago period, lower gross profit across all three reportable segments in our Networks business and income taxes.

Nokia reported net sales decreased 5% year-on-year. On a constant currency basis, Nokia reported net sales were flat year-on-year.
In our Networks business, our order backlog was strong at the end of Q3 2018, and we continue to expect commercial 5G network deployments to begin near the end of 2018.

We continued to make good progress on licensing agreements. Subsequent to the end of Q3 2018, we extended our patent licensing agreement with Samsung and reiterated our financial guidance for Nokia Technologies.
Nokia reported operating loss amounted to EUR 611 million, compared to EUR 403 million in the year-ago period. This was primarily driven by lower gross profit across all three reportable segments in our Networks business and the absence of approximately EUR 170 million of non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales, which benefitted the year-ago period, partially offset by lower restructuring and associated charges and lower impairment of assets.
Nokia reported diluted EPS amounted to negative EUR 0.13, compared to negative EUR 0.19 in the year-ago period. This was primarily driven by the absence of expenses related to the early redemption of debt, lower restructuring and associated charges and income taxes, partially offset by lower gross profit across all three reportable segments in our Networks business and the absence of approximately EUR 170 million of non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales, which benefitted the year-ago period.

EUR billion
During the third quarter 2018, Nokia’s total cash and current financial investments decreased by EUR 249 million and Nokia’s net cash and current financial investments (“net cash”) decreased by EUR 268 million.
In the third quarter 2018, net cash used in operating activities was EUR 82 million:
· Nokia’s adjusted profit before changes in net working capital was EUR 354 million in the third quarter 2018.
· In the third quarter 2018, Nokia experienced a decrease in net cash related to net working capital of approximately EUR 340 million, of which approximately EUR 110 million related to restructuring and associated cash outflows, and approximately EUR 230 million related to an increase in inventories and an increase in receivables, partially offset by an increase in liabilities.
· The increase in receivables was approximately EUR 80 million.
· The increase in inventories was approximately EUR 270 million, primarily due to our decision to ensure sufficient flexibility to deliver higher levels of equipment sales.
· The increase in liabilities was approximately EUR 130 million, primarily due to an increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a decrease in contract liabilities.
In the third quarter 2018, net cash used in investing activities primarily related to capital expenditures of approximately EUR 140 million.
In the third quarter 2018, net cash used in financing activities primarily related to the payment of withholding tax of approximately EUR 130 million, associated with the dividend paid in the second quarter 2018.

We now expect restructuring and associated charges to total EUR 1 750 million and the related cash outflows to total EUR 2 100 million, both of which are EUR 150 million below our previous expectations. In addition, we now expect the charges and cash outflows related to network equipment swaps to total EUR 1 300 million, which is EUR 100 million below our previous expectations.
Note that the above expectations do not reflect the changes resulting from the cost reduction program announced on October 25, 2018. We expect the program to result in a EUR 700 million reduction of non-IFRS annualized operating expenses and production overheads by the end of 2020 compared to the end of 2018, of which EUR 500 million is expected from operating expenses. The restructuring charges and cash outflows are both expected to be EUR 900 million.
Under the cost reduction program announced on October 25, 2018, Nokia is targeting savings from a wide range of areas, including investments in digitalization to drive more automation and productivity; further process and tool simplification; significant reductions in central support functions to reach best-in-class cost levels; prioritization of R&D programs to best create long-term value; a sharp reduction of R&D in legacy products; driving efficiency from further application of our best-in-class common software foundation and innovative software development techniques; the consolidation of selected cross-company activities; and further reductions in real estate and other overhead costs.

Nokia delivered another solid quarter on its strategic commitments and its 5G leadership position across business groups and geographies.
In the first pillar of our strategy, leading in high-performance, end-to-end networks with communication service providers:
Nokia announced a $3.5 billion, multi-year 5G network deal with T-Mobile to accelerate the deployment of a nationwide 5G network in the US.
In September, AT&T named Nokia as one of its 5G suppliers with the US operator’s announcement to introduce mobile 5G in parts of five additional cities — Houston, Jacksonville, Louisville, New Orleans, and San Antonio — this year.
Also in September, Nokia and Sprint gave the first live demonstration in the US of a 5G New Radio connection over a dual mode-capable Massive MIMO radio.
Earlier in the quarter, Verizon and Nokia completed the first transmission of a 3GPP New Radio 5G signal to a receiver situated in a moving vehicle. The test followed the companies’ successful completion of a series of outdoor data sessions over the 5G New Radio standard.
Nokia announced plans to sell the majority of its IP Video business to Volaris Group of Canada. The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2018.
Idea Cellular in Delhi started to deploy Nokia’s cloud-native core technology as part of the operator’s digitalization effort to meet increasing data and mobile broadband demand.
Ooredoo Myanmar selected Nokia to secure its telecom and ICT networks against cyber threats. Nokia analysed Ooredoo’s systems using Nokia’s Security Risk Index. The Managed Security Service then implemented performance improvements to ensure that critical information assets are adequately protected against known and unknown threats.
Early in the quarter, the consulting and research firm Analysys Mason rated Nokia’s AVA cognitive services platform as the leading Telco AI Ecosystem (TAE) offering in the market. The firm highlighted the AVA platform’s ability, ahead of the competition, to give vendors a single TAE in all their applications and intelligence across multiple systems and enable the optimization of end-to-end processes.
Nokia WING (Worldwide IoT Network Grid) momentum continued with Tele2 IoT launching a new global IoT platform, EnCore, making it the first operator to offer commercial IoT services to enterprises using Nokia WING. In September, WING won the global ‘corporate award’ in the Smart Emerging Technologies category at ITU Telecom World.
In the second pillar of our strategy, expanding network sales to select vertical markets needing high-performing, secure networks:
Nokia and Tencent signed an agreement to accelerate 5G webscale research and applications to benefit millions of Internet users in China.
In the third pillar of our strategy, developing a strong, standalone software business at scale:
Telia Company chose Nokia’s NetGuard Identity Access Manager to enhance security across the operator’s networks in Sweden and Finland.
Also in the quarter, the Nokia Intelligent Care Assistant solution was introduced into the Salesforce AppExchange. The Nokia Intelligent Care Assistant integrates the Salesforce Service Cloud with Nokia’s Autonomous Customer Care software, equipping agents with insights to improve customer satisfaction and enrich and monetize digital experiences.
In the quarter, Nokia Software demonstrated the strength of its portfolio, as well as orders and net sales momentum, by winning major accounts including British Telecom, Telenor One Europe, STC, Telefonica UK and Sky.
In the fourth pillar of our strategy, which is now focused exclusively on licensing:
Nokia announced that it expects the licensing rate for the Nokia 5G standard essential patent (SEP) portfolio to be capped at EUR 3 per mobile phone. Nokia said its licensing practices for licensing 5G SEPs for mobile phones will be consistent with its licensing undertakings made to relevant standard setting organizations.
Nokia’s brand licensee, HMD Global, continued the refresh of its smartphone portfolio with the launch of the Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 5.1 Plus. HMD also announced plans to double its manufacturing capacity in India to satisfy demand.
In the quarter, Nokia expanded choice for licensees in the automotive sector by joining the Avanci licensing platform.
Also, subsequent to the end of Q3 2018, Nokia extended its patent licensing agreement with Samsung. Nokia will follow its existing practices for disclosing patent licensing revenue in its quarterly announcements and expects that revenues for the extended agreement will start to be recognized in the first quarter of 2019.

Ultra Broadband Networks net sales increased 1% year-on-year, primarily due to Mobile Networks, which benefitted from growth in small cells. On a constant currency basis, Ultra Broadband Networks net sales increased 2%.
The decrease in Ultra Broadband Networks gross profit was primarily due to lower gross margin in Mobile Networks, partially offset by higher net sales in Mobile Networks. Our gross margin performance in Mobile Networks was driven by price erosion exceeding cost erosion in Asia-Pacific, North America, Greater China and Middle East & Africa, partially offset by favorable regional mix, with a larger proportion of net sales in North America.
The decrease in Ultra Broadband Networks R&D expenses was primarily due to Mobile Networks, primarily due to progress related to Nokia’s cost savings program and lower incentive accruals.
The decrease in Ultra Broadband Networks SG&A expenses was primarily due to Mobile Networks, primarily due to progress related to Nokia’s cost savings program, partially offset by higher costs related to 5G customer trials.
The net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses was primarily due to foreign exchange hedging.

IP Networks and Applications net sales increased 1% year-on-year. On a constant currency basis, IP Networks and Applications net sales increased 3%.
The increase in IP/Optical Networks net sales was due to optical networks driven by our strong portfolio. This was partially offset by IP routing, which was adversely affected by component shortages in our supply chain.
The increase in Nokia Software net sales was primarily due to emerging products and digital networks, partially offset by digital intelligence. The net sales performance of Nokia Software continued to benefit from the investments to build a dedicated software sales force with specialized go-to-market capabilities, supported by continued strong demand for our market leading software portfolio based on a cloud-native Common Software Foundation.
The decrease in IP Networks and Applications gross profit was primarily due to IP/Optical Networks, driven by IP routing, partially offset by optical networks. The overall decrease in gross profit was primarily due to lower gross margin, partially offset by higher net sales. Our gross margin performance in IP/Optical Networks was driven by price erosion exceeding cost erosion primarily in IP routing, as well as product mix, with a higher proportion of optical networks net sales.
The decrease in IP Networks and Applications R&D expenses was due to both IP/Optical Networks and Nokia Software. The decrease in IP/Optical networks was primarily due to net positive foreign exchange fluctuations. On a constant currency basis, IP/Optical Networks R&D was approximately flat. The decrease in Nokia Software R&D expenses was primarily due to improved productivity, following the ongoing implementation of a common software foundation.

Nokia Technologies net sales decreased 27% year-on-year, on both a reported and constant currency basis.
The entire EUR 351 million of net sales in the third quarter 2018 related to patent and brand licensing. Of the EUR 483 million of net sales in the third quarter 2017, EUR 474 million related to patent and brand licensing and EUR 9 million related to digital health and digital media.
The decrease in Nokia Technologies net sales was primarily due to the absence of approximately EUR 180 million of non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales, which benefitted the third quarter 2017. This was partially offset by higher recurring licensing net sales and higher brand licensing net sales. Nokia Technologies non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales in the third quarter 2018 amounted to approximately zero. In the third quarter 2017, non-recurring catch-up licensing net sales were approximately EUR 180 million.
The decrease in Nokia Technologies gross profit was due to lower net sales.
The decrease in Nokia Technologies R&D expenses was primarily due to reduced investments in digital media, lower patent portfolio costs and lower costs related to digital health following the sale of our digital health business on May 31, 2018.
The increase in Nokia Technologies SG&A expenses was primarily due to the absence of a reimbursement related to the settled arbitration, which benefitted the third quarter 2017. Excluding this, SG&A expenses would have decreased year-on-year, primarily due to lower costs related to digital health following the sale of our digital health business on May 31, 2018.

Group Common and Other net sales decreased 6% year-on-year. On a constant currency basis, Group Common and Other net sales decreased 4%.
The decrease in Group Common and Other net sales was primarily due to Alcatel Submarine Networks, partially offset by Radio Frequency Systems. The decrease in Alcatel Submarine Networks was primarily due to the completion of a large project, which benefitted the third quarter 2017.
The net positive fluctuation in other income and expenses was primarily due to gains in Nokia’s venture fund investments, partially offset by the absence of the unwinding of a reinsurance contract, which benefitted the third quarter 2017.
Shares
The total number of Nokia shares on September 30, 2018, equaled 5 635 550 659. On September 30, 2018, Nokia and its subsidiary companies owned 43 937 039 Nokia shares, representing approximately 0.8% of the total number of Nokia shares and voting rights.

(1)Related to the adoption of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments on January 1, 2018, financial instruments previously presented within “Available for sale investments” are now presented within “Non-current financial investments”, and financial instruments previously presented within “Available for sale investments, liquid assets” and “Investments at fair value through profit and loss, liquid assets” are now presented within “Current financial investments”. Despite the changes in the presentation of comparatives, IFRS 9 has not been adopted retrospectively.
(2)Comparatives for September 30, 2017, have been revised to reflect an adjustment of EUR 105 million made in the fourth quarter 2017 to other long-term liabilities in relation to the NSB financial liability with an offsetting impact to retained earnings.
(3)Comparatives for September 30, 2017, have been revised to reflect the change in presentation of interest and penalties related to income taxes from current income tax liabilities to provisions.
The above condensed consolidated balance sheet should be read in conjunction with accompanying notes.

Notes to Financial statements
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
This unaudited, consolidated, condensed financial statement information of Nokia has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. This consolidated, condensed financial statement information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as published by the IASB and adopted by the EU. The same accounting policies, methods of computation and applications of judgment are followed in this financial statement information as was followed in the financial statements for 2017 with the exception of changes resulting from adoption of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers as described in note 14, “New accounting standards”.
This financial report was authorized for issue by management on October 24, 2018.
Nokia presents financial information on reported, non-IFRS and constant currency basis. Non-IFRS measures presented in this document exclude costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and other purchase price fair value adjustments, restructuring and associated charges and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. In order to allow full visibility on determining non-IFRS results, information on non-IFRS exclusions is presented separately for each of the components of profit or loss.
Constant currency reporting provides additional information on change in financial measures on a constant currency basis in order to better reflect the underlying business performance. Therefore, change in financial measures at constant currency excludes the impact of changes in exchange rates in comparison to euro, our reporting currency.
Non-IFRS or constant currency financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with IFRS, and either of these financial measures as used by Nokia may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies or persons.
On July 3, 2017, Nokia and China Huaxin Post & Telecommunication Economy Development Center (“China Huaxin”) commenced operations of the new joint venture Nokia Shanghai Bell (“NSB”). As part of the NSB definitive agreements, China Huaxin obtained the right to fully transfer its ownership interest in NSB to Nokia in exchange for a future cash settlement. To reflect its conditional obligation to China Huaxin, Nokia recorded the present value of the expected future cash settlement as a financial liability of EUR 737 million within other long-term liabilities and derecognised its non-controlling interest balance of EUR 772 million related to NSB with the difference recorded within retained earnings. The recognition of the present value discount on the financial liability is recorded as interest expense and any changes in the estimated future cash settlement are recorded within financial income and expense. In the third quarter 2018, Nokia reclassified the financial liability from non-current liabilities to current liabilities which is in line with the option exercise period.
Percentages and figures presented herein may include rounding differences and therefore may not add up precisely to the totals presented and may vary from previously published financial information.
New and amended standards and interpretations adopted
On January 1, 2018, Nokia adopted IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The nature of new standards, impact of adoption on Nokia’s consolidated financial statements and changes to Nokia’s accounting policies resulting from the adoption are described in detail in note 14, “New accounting standards”. Other amendments and interpretations that became effective on January 1, 2018, did not have a material impact on Nokia’s consolidated financial statements.
Standards issued but not yet effective
IFRS 16, Leases, issued in January 2016, sets out the requirements for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. IFRS 16 provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for substantially all leases in the consolidated statement of financial position. Nokia will adopt IFRS 16 on the effective date of January 1, 2019 using the cumulative catch-up transition method, whereby the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 will be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2019 and comparative information will not be restated. Nokia is currently assessing the full impact of IFRS 16 but the initial expectation is that the main impact from adoption relates to the recognition and disclosure of Nokia’s real estate related operating leases. In the consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, Nokia disclosed non-cancellable operating lease commitments of EUR 1 022 million, of which the majority relates to real estate operating lease commitments. Nokia expects that the non-cancellable operating lease commitments calculated in accordance with current lease accounting requirements will differ from the right of use assets and related lease liabilities recorded as part of the adoption of IFRS 16.
Other revisions, amendments and interpretations to existing standards issued by the IASB that are not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on Nokia’s consolidated financial statements when adopted.

Exchange rates
Nokia is a company with global operations and net sales derived from various countries and invoiced in various currencies. Therefore, our business and results from operations are exposed to changes in exchange rates between the euro, our reporting currency, and other currencies, such as the US dollar and the Chinese yuan. To mitigate the impact of changes in exchange rates on our results, we hedge operative forecasted net foreign exchange exposures, typically within a 12-month horizon, and apply hedge accounting in the majority of cases.
2. NON-IFRS TO REPORTED RECONCILIATION (unaudited)
In addition to information on our reported IFRS results, Nokia provides certain information on a non-IFRS, or underlying business performance, basis. Non-IFRS measures presented in this document exclude costs related to the Acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and other purchase price fair value adjustments, restructuring and associated charges and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. Nokia believes that the non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokia’s underlying business performance by excluding the above-described items. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes to the equivalent IFRS measure(s), but should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measure(s) in the reported results.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION (unaudited)
Nokia has two businesses: Nokia’s Networks business and Nokia Technologies, and four reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: (1) Ultra Broadband Networks, (2) Global Services and (3) IP Networks and Applications within Nokia’s Networks business; and (4) Nokia Technologies. Segment-level information for Group Common and Other is also presented.
Nokia has aggregated Mobile Networks and Fixed Networks operating segments to one reportable segment, Ultra Broadband Networks; and IP/Optical Networks and Nokia Software(1) operating segments to one reportable segment, IP Networks and Applications. The aggregated operating segments have similar economic characteristics, such as long-term margins; have similar products, production processes, distribution methods and customers; and operate in a similar regulatory environment.
The President and CEO is the chief operating decision maker and monitors the operating results of operating and reportable segments for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Key financial performance measures of the segments include primarily net sales and operating profit. The evaluation of segment performance and allocation of resources is based on non-IFRS operating profit.
Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in note 2, “Significant accounting policies” of our Annual Report for 2017. Inter-segment revenues and transfers are accounted for as if the revenues were to third parties, that is, at current market prices. Non-IFRS exclusions are not allocated to the segments.
Ultra Broadband Networks
Ultra Broadband Networks comprises Mobile Networks and Fixed Networks operating segments.
The Mobile Networks operating segment offers an industry-leading portfolio of end-to-end mobile networking solutions comprising hardware and software for communications service providers, enterprises and related markets/verticals, such as public safety and Internet of Things (“IoT”).
The Fixed Networks operating segment provides copper and fiber access products, solutions and services. The portfolio allows for a customized combination of technologies that brings fiber to the most economical point for the customer.
Global Services
Global Services operating segment provides a wide range of professional services with multi-vendor capabilities, covering network planning and optimization, systems integration as well as company-wide managed services. It also provides network implementation and care services for mobile networks, using the strength of its global service delivery for quality, speed and efficiency.
IP Networks and Applications
IP Networks and Applications comprises IP/Optical Networks and Nokia Software operating segments.
The IP/Optical Networks operating segment provides the key IP routing and optical transport systems, software and services to build high capacity network infrastructure for the internet and global connectivity.
The Nokia Software operating segment offers software solutions spanning customer experience management, network operations and management, communications and collaboration, policy and charging, as well as Cloud, IoT, security, and analytics platforms that enable digital services providers and enterprises to accelerate innovation, monetize services, and optimize their customer experience.
Nokia Technologies
The Nokia Technologies operating segment, building on decades of innovation and R&D leadership in technologies used in virtually all mobile devices used today, is expanding Nokia patent licensing business, reintroducing the Nokia brand to smartphones through brand licensing, and establishing a technology licensing business. The majority of net sales and related costs and expenses attributable to licensing and patenting the separate patent portfolios of Nokia Technologies, Nokia’s Networks business, and Nokia Bell Labs are recorded in Nokia Technologies. Each reportable segment continues to separately record its own research and development expenses.
Group Common and Other
Group Common and Other includes Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks and Radio Frequency Systems, both of which are being managed as separate entities. In addition, Group Common and Other includes Nokia Bell Labs’ operating expenses, as well as certain corporate-level and centrally managed operating expenses.
(1) Applications & Analytics operating segment was renamed as Nokia Software on February 1, 2018.

The results of discontinued operations in 2018 mostly relate to a resolution reached in the tax dispute concerning the applicability of withholding tax in respect of payments by Nokia India Private Limited to Nokia Corporation for the supply of operating software in Devices & Services business as well as a release of uncertain tax positions related to HERE business. The cash flows of discontinued operations in 2018 mostly relate to aforementioned resolution in the tax dispute.
7. PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (unaudited)
Nokia operates a number of post-employment plans in various countries including both defined contribution and defined benefit plans. Defined benefit plans include pension plans and post-retirement welfare benefit plans, providing post-retirement healthcare benefits and life insurance coverage. Defined benefit plans expose Nokia to actuarial risks such as investment risk, interest rate risk, and life expectancy risk. The characteristics and associated risks of the defined benefit plans vary depending on legal, fiscal, and economic requirements in each country.
96% of Nokia’s defined benefit obligation and 98% of plan assets fair values were remeasured as of September 30, 2018. Nokia’s pension and post-retirement plans in the United States have been remeasured by updated valuations from an external actuary and the main pension plans outside of the U.S. (in Germany, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Belgium) have been remeasured based upon updated asset valuations and changes in the discount rates during the reporting period. The impact of not remeasuring other pension and post-employment obligations is considered not material.

8. DEFERRED TAXES (unaudited)
At September 30, 2018, Nokia had recognized deferred tax assets of EUR 4.9 billion. The deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences can be utilized in the relevant jurisdictions. The majority of Nokia’s recognized deferred tax assets relate to unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences in Finland (EUR 2.5 billion) and the United States (EUR 1.2 billion). Based on the recent years’ profitability in Finland and the United States, excluding certain integration costs in Finland related to the acquisition of Alcatel Lucent in 2016, and the latest forecasts of future financial performance, Nokia has been able to establish a pattern of sufficient tax profitability in Finland and the United States to conclude that it is probable that Nokia will be able to utilize the tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences in the foreseeable future.
At September 30, 2018, Nokia had unrecognized deferred tax assets of approximately EUR 5 billion related to unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences. The majority of the unrecognized deferred tax assets relate to France (approximately EUR 4 billion). These deferred tax assets have not been recognized due to uncertainty regarding their utilization. A significant portion of the French unrecognized deferred tax assets are indefinite in nature and available against future French tax liabilities, subject to a limitation of 50% of annual taxable profits.
At September 30, 2018, Nokia had deferred tax liabilities of EUR 0.4 billion. The majority of the deferred tax liabilities relate to the fair value adjustments on the purchase accounting of Alcatel-Lucent acquisition.

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

The amounts above represent the maximum principal amount of commitments and contingencies.
(1)In contingent liabilities on behalf of Group companies Nokia reports guarantees that have been given to third parties in the normal course of business. These are mainly guarantees given by financial institutions to Nokia’s customers for the performance of Nokia’s obligations under supply agreements, including tender bonds, performance bonds, and warranty bonds issued by financial institutions on behalf of Nokia. Additionally, Nokia has issued corporate guarantees with primary obligation given directly to customers with these guarantees amounting to EUR 1 045 million (EUR 1 470 million at September 30, 2017 and EUR 1 114 million at December 31, 2017).

(1)The opening balance sheet adjustments for the adoption of IFRS 15 have been revised from those presented in the first and second quarter interim reports as follows (increase/[decrease]): Current assets EUR 567 million - Trade receivables EUR 402 million, Contract assets EUR 382 million and Prepaid expenses and accrued income EUR (217) million; Current liabilities EUR 567 million - Accrued expenses, deferred revenue and other liabilities EUR 609 million and Contract liabilities EUR (42) million. EUR 129 million was reclassified from Deferred revenue and other long-term liabilities to Non-current contract liabilities.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 addresses the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, introduces a new impairment model and a new hedge accounting model. On adoption, Nokia has not restated comparative periods but presents the cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 9 as a transition adjustment to the opening balance of other comprehensive income and retained earnings as of January 1, 2018.
The effect of changes to Nokia’s financial statement due to the adoption of IFRS 9 are described below.
Classification and measurement of financial assets
Nokia has classified its financial assets in the following three categories: financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss. The selection of the appropriate category is made based both on Nokia’s business model for managing the financial asset and on the contractual cash flows characteristics of the financial asset. The new asset classes replace the following IAS 39 asset classification categories: available-for-sale investments, derivative and other current financial assets, loans receivable, trade receivables, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Nokia’s business model for managing financial assets is defined on portfolio level. The business model must be observable on practical level by the way business is managed. The cash flows of financial assets measured at amortized cost are solely payments of principal and interest. These assets are held within a business model which has an objective to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income have cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest and these assets are held within a business model which has an objective that is achieved both by holding financial assets to collect contractual cash flows and selling financial assets. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss are assets that do not fall in either of the two above-mentioned categories. In addition to the classification as described above, the accounting for financial assets is impacted if the financial asset is part of a hedging relationship.
Non-current Investments: Investments in unlisted private equity shares, technology-related publicly quoted shares and unlisted venture funds are classified as fair value through profit and loss. Under IAS 39 these items were classified as available-for-sale. Fair valuation is recorded in other income and expenses based on the business model assessment performed in conjunction with IFRS 9 transition.
Other non-current financial assets: Restricted bank deposits are classified as amortized cost. Under IAS 39 these items were classified as available-for-sale.
Loan receivables: Nokia’s business model for managing loans to customers and suppliers is both to collect contractual cash flows and to sell assets and hence customer finance assets are initially recognized and subsequently re-measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Under IAS 39 these items were measured at amortized cost less impairment using the effective interest method.
Derivatives: There is no change in the classification or measurement of derivative assets not designated in hedge accounting relationships apart from embedded derivatives: based on IFRS 9, the whole contract is evaluated based on the classification criteria and then classified as its entirety. Based on IAS 39 embedded derivatives were measured at fair value through profit and loss.
Current Investments: Term deposits used as collaterals for derivative transactions are classified as current investments at amortized cost (formerly classified as cash equivalents). Fixed income and money market securities are classified as fair value through other comprehensive income in case the instrument characteristics fulfil the criteria of payments of solely principal and interest and are not part of a structured investment (formerly classified as available-for-sale investments). Other investments are classified at fair value through profit or loss.
Trade receivables: Nokia’s business model for managing trade receivables is holding receivables to collect contractual cash flows and selling receivables. Hence, trade receivables are initially recognized at notional amounts and subsequently re-measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. IAS 39 measured these trade receivables at amortized cost.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
Nokia classifies derivative liabilities at fair value through profit and loss and all other financial liabilities at amortized cost. These category classes replace the IAS 39 classes derivative and other financial liabilities, compound financial instruments, loans payable, and account payable. The implementation of IFRS 9 has not had a material effect on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities.
Impairment
Nokia assesses expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets on a forward-looking basis whereas the impairment provision under IAS 39 was based on actual credit losses. Expected credit losses are calculated based on credit rating profile and estimated recovery rate as well as any other specific indicators on counterparty creditworthiness. The impairment requirements concern the following financial assets: customer loans and current investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets measured at amortized cost as well as financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments.
A loss allowance is recognized based on 12-month expected credit losses unless the credit risk for the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. For trade receivables and contract assets Nokia applies a simplified impairment approach to recognizing a loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses.
Hedge accounting
As Nokia’s foreign exchange risk management policy and hedge accounting model have already been aligned with the requirements of IFRS 9, all hedging relationships qualify for treatment as continuing hedging relationship. The requirement for hedge effectiveness of 80-125 % has been removed from IFRS 9 and the effectiveness of hedging is evaluated based on the economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item. Nokia is separating the forward element and the spot element of a forward contract and designates as the hedging instrument only the change in the value of the spot element of the forward contract. Nokia also separates the time value of options and the basis element of cross currency swaps. These hedging costs are mainly recognized in other comprehensive income and subsequently accounted for in the same way as the intrinsic value. Under IAS 39 these costs were recognized in profit and loss as they occurred.
The monetary and line-by-line impact of the changes to classification and measurement of financial assets in the Statement of Financial Position is described in more detail below.

(1)Upon initial application of the standard, the accumulated net positive fair value changes for Nokia’s investments in venture funds, a gain of EUR 226 million, formerly recorded to other comprehensive income, is presented as a transition adjustment to opening balance of retained earnings. There was no change in the valuation nor carrying amount of these assets.
(2)Certain restricted bank deposits classified mainly as non-current available-for-sale investments under IAS 39 are classified as amortized cost. There was no change in the carrying amount of these deposits.
(3)The initial fair value adjustment for trade receivables of a loss of EUR 46 million is presented in opening balance of other comprehensive income as a transition adjustment.
(4)The initial fair value adjustment for customer finance assets of a loss of EUR 4 million is presented in opening balance of other comprehensive income as a transition adjustment.
(5)Nokia has assessed the investments currently classified as current available-for-sale, liquid assets, and will classify certain investment funds to be measured at fair value through profit or loss at the adoption of the new standard. The rest of these investments satisfy the conditions for classification at fair value through other comprehensive income.
(6)Nokia has assessed the impact of the new impairment model. As the credit quality of Nokia’s fixed income and money market investments is high, there is no significant impact from the new model. There is an impact of EUR 9 million loss to loans extended to Nokia’s customers as the new model results in an earlier recognition of credit losses that has been recorded in opening balance of other comprehensive income and retained earnings as a transition adjustment.
(7)For cash flow hedge accounting, Nokia has elected to defer cost of hedging in other comprehensive income until the hedged item impacts profit and loss. As a result a loss of EUR 10 million for accumulated forward points related to hedges under cash flow hedge accounting at the end of 2017 has been recorded in opening balance of other comprehensive income and retained earnings as a transition adjustment. For net investment hedge accounting, Nokia has elected to defer cost of hedging in other comprehensive income and amortize it over the duration of the hedge. The initial adjustment related to treatment of cost of net investment hedging is not significant.
The numbers quoted in the footnotes above are gross of tax. The tax impact of IFRS 9 transition adjustments has been recorded to deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities, fair value and other reserves or retained earnings as applicable.
IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18, Revenue, and IAS 11, Construction contracts and establishes a new five-step model that applies to revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized to reflect the transfer of promised goods and services to customers for amounts that reflect the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. Nokia adopted the standard by applying the modified retrospective method and has presented the cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018.
Management analyzed the impact of the adoption of IFRS 15 and concluded that the new standard did not have a material impact on Nokia’s consolidated retained earnings. For the impact on the presentation on the statement of financial position, please refer below under section Opening balance sheet adjustment and application in 2018. The procedures performed by management focused on a review of existing contracts through December 31, 2017, focusing on the following areas:
Arrangements with customers
Management considered the definition of a contract in accordance with the new standard and concluded that only legally binding commitments should be considered in evaluating the accounting for arrangements with customers. As such, frame agreements will be accounted for based on purchase orders, initial discounts and other material rights. Previously, a broader contract definition was permitted for accounting purposes.
Identification of performance obligations and allocation of transaction price
In accordance with IFRS 15, the identification of performance obligations and allocation of transaction price is based on a fair value model. Nokia’s application of previous accounting standards is consistent with IFRS 15.
Transfer of control of hardware
The point at which control transfers to the customer under IFRS 15 is consistent with Nokia’s assessed point of transfer of the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the customer under the previous standard.
Software revenue
In accordance with IFRS 15, revenue related to software arrangements will be recognized at points in time. Under previous standards, certain software revenue arrangements were recorded as revenue over the terms of the arrangements where customers had access to a portfolio of software solutions. After the adoption of IFRS 15, this change may result in larger fluctuations in revenue between quarters than under the previous standard.
Patent license agreements in Nokia Technologies
Nokia’s current revenue recognition principles for license agreements, which contain future commitments to perform, are in line with IFRS 15 and continue to be recorded over time. Further, Nokia has determined that, upon transition to IFRS 15, one specific license agreement is a completed contract as it has no such future commitments (refer to Application of transition guidance below).
Application of transition guidance
In April 2014, Nokia entered into an agreement to license certain technology patents and patent applications owned by Nokia on the effective date of that agreement, on a non-exclusive basis, to a licensee, for a period of 10 years (the “License Agreement”). Contemporaneously and under the terms of the License Agreement, Nokia issued to the licensee an option to extend the technology patent license for remaining life of the licensed patents. Nokia received all cash consideration due for the sale of the 10-year license and option upon closing of the License Agreement. Management has determined that, upon transition to IFRS 15, the License Agreement is a completed contract. As such, in accordance with the transition requirements of the standard, Nokia continues to apply its prior revenue accounting policies, based on IAS 18, Revenue, and related interpretations, to the License Agreement. Under those policies, Nokia is recognizing revenue over the term of the License Agreement.
As of September 30, 2018, the balance of deferred revenue related to the License Agreement of EUR 863 million, recognized in advance payments and deferred revenue in the consolidated statement of financial position, is expected to be recognized as revenue through 2024.
Opening balance sheet adjustment and application of IFRS 15 in 2018
In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 15, Nokia has presented its customer contracts in the statement of financial position as either a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between Nokia’s performance and the customer’s payment for each individual contract. On a net basis, a contract asset position represents where Nokia has performed by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due. Conversely, a contract liability position represents where a customer has paid consideration or payment is due, but Nokia has not yet transferred goods or services to the customer. Invoiced receivables represent unconditional rights to payment, and are presented separately on the statement of financial position. The IFRS 15 related adjustments to the year-end 2017 statement of financial position and the resulting 2018 opening balance sheet are presented in the first section of this note. Contract assets presented in the statement of financial position are current in nature while contract liabilities can be either current or non-current.
As disclosed in the second quarter 2018, management continued to evaluate presentation of contract assets and contract liabilities and as a result, determined that those financial statement line items may have been materially misstated in the January 1, 2018 opening balance sheet. During the third quarter 2018, management completed the evaluation of the transactions and balances underlying the contract assets, contract liabilities and other line items potentially impacted by the adoption of IFRS 15 in the opening balance sheet. As a result of these procedures, we have revised our opening balance sheet and have disclosed the revisions in the table above. The adjustments had no impact on the prior year financial statements, the opening retained earnings adjustment required upon adoption of IFRS 15 and the 2018 consolidated income statement.
Adoption of the standard resulted in a post-tax decrease of retained earnings of EUR 16 million in the opening balance sheet of 2018, with offsetting entries in trade receivables and deferred revenue, subsequently subject to presentation on a net basis in contract assets and liabilities.
In the first nine months of 2018, the difference in the amount of revenue recorded by the application of IFRS 15 as compared to IAS 11, IAS 18 and related Interpretations that were in effect before the adoption of IFRS 15, is immaterial. Management identified its segment information and geographic areas as the relevant categories to present disaggregated revenue. Each reportable segment, as described in Note 3 Segment Information, operates in every geographic area as described in Note 4 Net Sales By Geographic Area. No operating segment has a specific revenue concentration in any geographic area other than Nokia Technologies, which is included within Europe.
15. PERFORMANCE MEASURES (unaudited)
In the reporting of financial information, Nokia has adopted various performance measures of historical or future financial performance, position or cash flows other than those defined or specified under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These measures are not defined by IFRS and therefore may not be directly comparable with financial measures used by other companies, including those in Nokia’s industry. The following table provides summarized information on the performance measures included in this interim report.
|

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

Charges, liabilities and cash outflows related to activities that either meet the strict definition of restructuring under IFRS or are closely associated with such activities. |
|
We use restructuring and associated charges, liabilities and cash outflows to measure the progress of our integration and transformation activities. |
|
Charges and cash outflows related to network equipment swaps |
|
Charges and cash outflows related to product portfolio integration for key customers. |
|
We use charges and cash outflows related to network equipment swaps to measure the progress of our integration and transformation activities. |
