Nokia provides recast segment results for 2015 reflecting new financial reporting structure

Espoo, Finland - Nokia today provided recast segment results for 2015 reflecting the company's new financial reporting and organizational structure, following the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent. Nokia's organizational structure is intended to enable the company to create an innovation leader in next generation technology and services. With state-of-the-art software, hardware and services for any type of network, Nokia is at the forefront of creating and licensing the technologies that are increasingly at the heart of our connected lives.

Three reportable segments

To support Nokia's strategic objectives and reflect the way the company evaluates operational performance and allocates resources, Nokia will revise its financial reporting structure. As of the first quarter 2016, Nokia will have three reportable segments: The (i) Ultra Broadband Networks and (ii) IP Networks and Applications reportable segments within Nokia's Networks business and the (iii) Nokia Technologies reportable segment within the Nokia Technologies business. In addition, Nokia will disclose segment-level data for Group Common and Other.

Ultra Broadband Networks

Ultra Broadband Networks is composed of the Mobile Networks and Fixed Networks business groups.

• The Mobile Networks business group offers an industry-leading portfolio of end-to-end mobile networking solutions comprising hardware, software and services for telecommunications operators, enterprises and related markets/verticals such as public safety and Internet of Things.
• The Fixed Networks business group 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.

IP Networks and Applications

IP Networks and Applications is composed of the IP/Optical Networks and Applications & Analytics business groups.

• The IP/Optical Networks business group 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 Applications & Analytics business group 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 business group has two main objectives:

• To drive growth and renewal in its existing patent licensing business; and
• to build new businesses for Nokia, based on breakthrough innovation in key technologies and products, in the areas of Digital Media and Digital Health.

As of the first quarter 2016, the majority of net sales and the related costs and expenses attributable to licensing and patenting the separate patent portfolios of Nokia Technologies, Nokia's Networks business, and Bell Labs will be recorded in Nokia Technologies. Each reportable segment will continue to separately record its research and development expenses.

Group Common and Other

As of the first quarter 2016, Group Common and Other includes the Alcatel Submarine Networks and Radio Frequency Systems businesses, both of which are being managed as separate entities. In addition, Group Common and Other includes Bell Labs' operating expenses, as well as certain corporate-level and centrally-managed operating expenses.

Supplementary financial information

As of the first quarter 2016, Nokia will additionally provide supplementary net sales information on a quarterly basis for:

• Services (part of Nokia's Networks business);
• Each of the four business groups that comprise Nokia's Networks business;
• IP Routing (part of the IP Networks and Applications reportable segment within Nokia's Networks business); and
• Optical Networks (part of the IP Networks and Applications reportable segment within Nokia's Networks business).

This disclosure will be presented in the footnotes of the "Segment information and eliminations" table.

Recast combined company segment financial results

To provide a basis for comparison, the following tables present a recasting of combined company segment financial results on an unaudited basis for all four quarters of 2015 separately, as well as for full year 2015. This financial information has been prepared to reflect the financial results of the continuing operations of the combined company as if it had been operating as such for the full financial year of 2015. Certain accounting policy alignments, adjustments and reclassifications have been necessary in order to combine the financial information of Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent, and these are explained below in the "Basis of preparation" section of this stock exchange release.

Basis of preparation

The recast combined company financial results presented in this press release are derived from the unaudited condensed financial information presented in the interim reports of Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent for all quarters of 2015 and from the audited financial information presented in the annual report for 2015 for Nokia. Nokia financial information includes only continuing operations, which means that all periods presented exclude the historical operating results attributable to the divested HERE business. The accounting impact of the purchase price allocation done on Alcatel-Lucent, upon acquisition by Nokia, is not reflected in the combined company financial results.

The following tables provide a summary of the adjustments and reclassifications that have been made to align Alcatel-Lucent's and Nokia's historical income statement information with the combined company's accounting policies and financial statement presentation. These include the:

• Reclassification of certain items from net sales to offset R&D expenses or to be included in other income as these do not reflect the ordinary activities of the combined company;
• reclassification of items, such as change in the bad debt reserve, expenses related to field trials and gains on sales of assets from cost of sales to R&D expenses and to offset SG&A expenses and other expenses to meet the definitions of these line items in the combined company;
• reclassification of withholding taxes to income taxes instead of presenting them within the operational income statement items;
• reclassification of discounting costs & hedging, bonds & guarantees, litigation costs and capital gain/loss on disposal of entities from below operating profit to other expenses to reflect the application of the combined company accounting policy;
• some R&D expenses and cost of development work on internal use software that were previously capitalized by Alcatel-Lucent and have now been expensed as incurred due to adoption of the combined company accounting policy;
• reclassification of net interest expenses related to defined benefit pension plans from operational income statement items to financial items below operating profit; and
• reallocation of items of costs and expenses based on their nature and the definition of the line items in the combined company accounting policies. These reallocations relate to procurement, order management, project financial controllers, learning solution management, product line management and communications.

The recast combined company financial information has been prepared by management for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of Nokia's operations that would have been realized had the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent or the sale of the HERE business occurred earlier, nor is it meant to be indicative of any anticipated future results of operations.
