Nokia and Zain deploy FastMile solution to provide better broadband experience to end users

 

Press Release 

  • Deployment follows successful trial in commercial live network
  • Takes Zain closer to building robust, scalable networks to realize Smart Cities vision
  • Nokia FastMile improves in-house coverage and enables ultra-fast mobile broadband speeds

 

30 October 2017

 

Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - Nokia and Zain Saudi Arabia are deploying Nokia's FastMile technology to provide a superior customer experience to Zain's customers. The deployment, the first for Nokia FastMile in the Middle East and Africa region, follows a successful trial of the technology which recorded speeds of 20 Mbps - significant considering the current demands on 4G networks - and provided seamless 4G macro network coverage to reach users located in a challenging environment. Zain is deploying the technology in the western and southern region of the country and also in the cities of Jeddah and Makkah. Interestingly, the FastMile solution will not only be deployed in the typical rural environments, but more in suburban areas, where no fiber or copper network is available, using the 1800 MHz band.

 

Service providers usually struggle with in-house coverage in a 4G network. Nokia FastMile allows them to improve in-house coverage and provide ultra-fast mobile broadband speeds to end-users by cost effectively re-using an existing macro network infrastructure. In this case, the increase in throughput will enable Zain to build additional revenue streams by launching new and innovative services, as well as help attract new subscribers.

 

Eng. Sultan Abdulaziz AlDeghaither, Chief Technology Officer, Zain Saudi Arabia, said: "We are enthusiastic about the success of the Nokia FastMile trial and the subsequent deployment of the technology, which will help us address the problem of poor in-house coverage and provide a much-improved user experience. We are committed to providing the best-in-class quality of experience to our customers, and this project is a key step in that direction."

 

Ali Al Jitawi, head of the Zain Saudi Arabia customer team at Nokia, said: "This deployment starts a new chapter in our longstanding relationship with Zain. We look forward to working with them to deliver a better broadband experience. FastMile provides operators with an innovative way to re-use existing networks to meet growing broadband requirements. This deployment reinforces Zain's technology leadership, allowing it to use the latest technology solutions to meet the requirements of their customers."

 

Overview of the solutions:

  • Nokia FastMile lets service providers use 4G LTE radio access network connectivity in difficult to reach areas. It comprises of four components: an outdoor modem, indoor router, LTE radio access, and controller. The modem connects to the nearest LTE base station to provide high-speed broadband connectivity.
  • The trial was conducted on an FDD-LTE network with Flexi Multiradio 10 Base Station.
  • Nokia Professional Services for network design, configuration and implementation will ensure smooth and fast deployment of the technology.

 

Did you know?

The Nokia FastMile solution provides up to 12 times typical coverage area and three times the speed compared to standard mobile broadband networks.

CORRECTION to the Finnish language pdf document attached to the release concerning Nokia's financial report for Q3 and January-September 2017  

Espoo, Finland - Nokia published its financial report for Q3 and January-September 2017 at 8 am Finnish time on October 26, 2017. In the stock exchange release, Nokia published a summary of the report and indicated that the complete results report with tables was available on its website as a pdf document.

The Finnish language version of the pdf document included an error in the Nokia Technologies financial discussion section for Q3 2017, which incorrectly referred to the non-recurring net sales for the third quarter 2017 in the last sentence of the first paragraph of that section, whereas the correct comparison period would have been the third quarter 2016.

This sentence has now been updated in the Finnish language version of the complete results report, which can be found at http://www.nokia.com/luvut.

No change was required for the English language version of the pdf document.

KORJAUS Nokian vuoden 2017 kolmannen neljänneksen ja tammi-syyskuun osavuosikatsausta koskevan tiedotteen liitteenä olleeseen suomenkieliseen pdf-dokumenttiin   

Nokia julkisti 26.10.2017 kello 8 vuoden 2017 kolmannen neljänneksen ja tammi-syyskuun osavuosikatsauksen. Nokia julkisti pörssitiedotteessa tiivistelmän osavuosikatsauksesta ja ilmoitti, että taulukot sisältävä täydellinen osavuosikatsaus on kokonaisuudessaan saatavilla pdf-dokumenttina yhtiön internetsivuilla.

Suomenkielinen pdf-dokumentti sisälsi virheen Nokia Technologies -liiketoiminnan vuoden 2017 kolmannen neljänneksen taloudellisten pääkohtien tarkastelua käsittelevässä osiossa, jossa viitattiin virheellisesti vuoden 2017 kolmanteen neljännekseen kertaluonteisen liikevaihdon osalta, kun oikean vertailujakson olisi pitänyt olla vuoden 2016 kolmas neljännes.

Täten taulukot sisältävän täydellisen osavuosikatsauksen liitteenä olevan pdf-dokumentin Nokia Technologies -liiketoiminnan vuoden 2017 kolmannen neljänneksen taloudellisten pääkohtien tarkastelua käsittelevän osuuden ensimmäisen kappaleen viimeisen lauseen olisi pitänyt olla: Kertaluonteinen liikevaihto oli noin 100 miljoonaa euroa vuoden 2016 kolmannella neljänneksellä ja noin 70 miljoonaa euroa vuoden 2017 toisella neljänneksellä.

Tämä lause on nyt korjattu taulukot sisältävään täydelliseen osavuosikatsaukseen, joka on saatavilla osoitteessa http://www.nokia.fi/luvut sekä tämän pörssitiedotteen liitteenä.

Virhe ei koskenut englanninkielistä pdf-dokumenttia.

Nokia Corporation Financial Report for Q3 and January-September 2017

 

Strong earnings driven by Nokia Technologies


This is a summary of the Nokia Corporation financial report for Q3 and January-September 2017 published today. The complete financial report for Q3 and January-September 2017 with tables is available at www.nokia.com/financials. Investors should not rely on summaries of our financial reports only, but should review the complete reports with tables.

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • Non-IFRS net sales in Q3 2017 of EUR 5.5bn (EUR 6.0bn in Q3 2016). Reported net sales in Q3 2017 of EUR 5.5bn (EUR 5.9bn in Q3 2016). 7% year-on-year net sales decrease (4% decrease on a constant currency basis) in Q3 2017, on both a non-IFRS and reported basis.
  • Strong non-IFRS gross margin of 42.7% (40.0% in Q3 2016), and non-IFRS operating margin of 12.1% (9.3% in Q3 2016), driven by Nokia Technologies and resilience in Nokia's Networks business. Reported gross margin of 39.7% (37.9% in Q3 2016) and reported operating margin of negative 4.2% (positive 0.9% in Q3 2016).
  • Non-IFRS diluted EPS in Q3 2017 of EUR 0.09 (EUR 0.04 in Q3 2016) benefited from a lower than expected non-IFRS tax rate of 15%. Reported diluted EPS in Q3 2017 of negative EUR 0.03 (negative EUR 0.02 in Q3 2016).
  • Given the strong year-on-year group-level performance with both gross and operating margins up significantly and continued momentum in the execution of our strategy, Nokia's Board of Directors plans to propose a dividend of EUR 0.19 per share for 2017 (EUR 0.17 for 2016).

Nokia's Networks business

  • 9% year-on-year net sales decrease (6% decrease on a constant currency basis) in Q3 2017, primarily due to Ultra Broadband Networks, reflecting challenges related to market conditions and certain projects in Mobile Networks, primarily in North America and Greater China.
  • In Q3 2017, on a constant currency basis, the year-on-year net sales performance in IP Networks and Applications and Global Services improved, when compared to the year-on-year performance in Q2 2017. On a constant currency basis, year-on-year net sales grew by 2% in both Global Services and IP Routing.
  • Solid Q3 2017 gross margin of 38.6% supported by continued operational discipline. Operating margin of 6.9% reflected weak results in Ultra Broadband Networks, which was partially offset by improved year-on-year performance in Global Services and IP Networks and Applications.

Nokia Technologies

  • 37% year-on-year net sales increase and 73% year-on-year operating profit increase in Q3 2017, primarily related to a settled arbitration in the third quarter 2017. Approximately EUR 180 million of the net sales were non-recurring in nature and related to catch-up net sales for prior periods. With fast and effective execution against our patent licensing strategy, we have approximately doubled our recurring license revenue from EUR 578 million in 2014.

1 Results are as reported 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 the non-IFRS exclusions section included in discussions of both the quarterly and year to date performance and note 2, "Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation", in the notes in the Financial statement information in this report. Change in net sales at constant currency excludes the impact 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.

 

Dividend and capital structure update

Nokia's Board of Directors plans to propose a dividend of EUR 0.19 per share for 2017. The dividend is Nokia's principal method of distributing earnings to shareholders, and Nokia targets to deliver an earnings-based growing dividend. Over the long term, Nokia targets to grow the dividend by distributing approximately 40% to 70% of non-IFRS EPS, taking into account Nokia's cash position and expected cash flow generation.

On October 29, 2015, after Nokia's Board of Directors conducted a thorough analysis of Nokia's potential long-term capital structure requirements, Nokia announced a EUR 7 billion program to optimize the efficiency of its capital structure. This program consists of approximately EUR 4 billion in shareholder distributions and approximately EUR 3 billion of de-leveraging.  As of the end of the third quarter 2017, approximately EUR 6.9 billion of our capital structure optimization program had been completed. The remaining amount of approximately EUR 0.1 billion relates to planned share repurchases, and is expected to be completed by the end of 2017. Following the completion of this program, and factoring in our targeted dividend for 2017, Nokia is confident that it will have a strong and efficient capital structure.

Non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information regarding underlying business performance

In addition to information on our reported IFRS results, we provide certain information on a non-IFRS, or underlying business performance, basis. 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 below-described items that may not be indicative of Nokia's business operating results. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes to the equivalent IFRS measure(s), but should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measure(s) in the reported results.

Non-IFRS results exclude costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia's underlying business performance. The non-IFRS exclusions are not allocated to the segments, and hence they are reported only at the Nokia consolidated level.

Financial discussion

The financial discussion included in this financial report of Nokia's results comprises the results of Nokia's businesses - Nokia's Networks business and Nokia Technologies, as well as Group Common and Other. For more information on our reportable segments, please refer to note 3, "Segment information", in the Financial statement information section in this report.


CEO STATEMENT

Nokia delivered excellent non-IFRS earnings-per-share in the third quarter of EUR 0.09; strong year-on-year group-level performance, with both gross and operating margins up significantly; and continued momentum in the execution of our strategy. Given this good progress, Nokia's Board of Directors plans to propose a dividend of 19 euro cents for 2017, up 2 cents from one year ago.

The performance of our patent licensing business was the clear highlight of the quarter. We reached a favorable arbitration outcome with LG and have since reached agreement with them on a license for a longer term than what was set out in the arbitration. With this fast and effective execution against our patent licensing strategy, we have approximately doubled our recurring licensing revenue from EUR 578 million in 2014. I am also particularly pleased that in 2017 the growth in patent licensing has helped to offset the sales decline on the Networks side. We have excellent momentum and considerable opportunity to further develop the business in 2018 and beyond.

We also saw strength in many parts of our Networks business in the quarter. On the sales side, we saw constant currency year-on-year growth in Global Services and IP Routing as well as our Middle East and Africa, and Asia-Pacific regions. Orders were up in many areas, including Applications & Analytics, which logged its fifth consecutive quarter of order growth in Q3, showing the progress we are making in our strategy to build a strong, stand-alone software business.

On the profitability side, the overall Networks gross margin of 38.6% was up compared to one year ago, a remarkable achievement in the context of a market that remains challenging. In addition, Global Services and IP Networks and Applications delivered significant improvements in operating margin compared to Q3 2016, at 8.1% and 10.7%, respectively.

We continued to build momentum in our strategy to expand our customer base beyond communication service providers. Across the adjacent segments that we are targeting, year-to-date orders were up by double-digit percentages and sales were up by 8%, excluding the former Alcatel-Lucent third-party integration business that we are currently winding down.

We also added more than 60 new customers in these adjacent segments so far this year, including China Pacific Insurance Company, the first large enterprise win for our Nuage business in China. With cable operators, we won the first customer - WOW! in the United States - for our new products coming from the acquisition of Gainspeed, which we are also trialing with almost a dozen customers, including some of the industry's largest players.

These results reflect the power of our disciplined operating model and the advantages of our end-to-end portfolio. In a market where competition remains robust, operational discipline is a must, and it is a core strength of Nokia. Furthermore, as the market transitions to 5G, I believe that the benefits of our portfolio will become even more apparent given that 5G is about much more than Radio. It requires Cloud core, IP routing, transport of many kinds, fixed wireless access, Software-Defined Networking and more - and Nokia is one of the very few companies that is able to meet all those needs.

Despite the progress we made in the quarter, we experienced some challenges in our Mobile Networks business and see a continued decline in our primary addressable market in 2018. That decline, which we estimate to be in the range of 2% to 5%, is the result of the multiple technology transitions underway; robust competition in China; and near-term headwinds from potential operator consolidation in a handful of countries.

In terms of the issues we are facing in Mobile Networks, I have noted in previous quarters that the R&D team in this business group has faced an extraordinarily high workload. Given this situation, we have seen some issues with the time taken to converge some products that have, unfortunately, impacted a small number of customers. As a result, Mobile Networks has experienced both revenue pressure and an increase in expected network equipment swap costs.

My team is fully committed to getting these things back on track and we are already seeing meaningful improvements. Field deployments of our new AirScale products were ramping up in all our geographies, including with key North American customers. These products help improve operator competitiveness, not just by addressing cost challenges, but also by setting a new standard for performance and flexibility. We also saw a meaningful increase in customer satisfaction scores.

I would also note that despite some additional investment required in Mobile Networks to maintain product leadership, we are committed to our EUR 1.2 billion cost savings plan in full-year 2018. These savings come at a slightly higher cost than previously expected, and we continue to assess opportunities to deliver further savings in the area of cost-of-goods sold.

Regarding our cash position, I am not satisfied with our performance in the third quarter and we are redoubling our efforts in this area. Maintaining our strong balance sheet is a clear priority.

In short, Q3 was a period in which we faced some challenges, but delivered good performance in many areas as well as momentum in the execution of our strategy.

NOKIA IN Q3 2017 - REPORTED

FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

Net sales

Nokia net sales decreased 7% year-on-year and decreased 2% sequentially. On a constant currency basis, Nokia net sales would have decreased 4% year-on-year and would have increased 2% sequentially.

Year-on-year discussion

The year-on-year decrease in net sales in the third quarter 2017 was primarily due to Nokia's Networks business and Group Common and Other, partially offset by Nokia Technologies and lower non-IFRS exclusions related to a purchase price allocation adjustment related to a reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent's balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.

Sequential discussion

The sequential decrease in Nokia net sales in the third quarter 2017 was primarily due to Nokia's Networks business, Group Common and Other and higher non-IFRS exclusions related to product portfolio strategy costs, partially offset by Nokia Technologies.

Operating profit

Year-on-year discussion

In the third quarter 2017, Nokia recorded an operating loss compared to an operating profit in the third quarter 2016. The change was primarily due to a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses and lower gross profit, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses.

The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to lower gross profit in Nokia's Networks business, higher non-IFRS exclusions and lower gross profit in Group Common and Other, partially offset by Nokia Technologies.

The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to Nokia Technologies, Group Common and Other and Nokia's Networks business.

The net negative fluctuation in Nokia's other income and expenses was primarily related to higher non-IFRS exclusions attributable to higher restructuring and associated charges and an impairment charge, partially offset by Nokia's Networks business and Group Common and Other.

In the third quarter 2017, Nokia recorded a non-cash charge to other income and expenses of EUR 141 million, due to the impairment of goodwill related to its digital health business, which is part of Nokia Technologies. Following third quarter 2017 results, Nokia adjusted its long-term cash flow projections for its digital health cash generating unit, and recorded an impairment charge. The impairment charge was excluded from our non-IFRS results and allocated to the carrying amount of goodwill held within the digital health cash generating unit, which was reduced to zero. Going forward, Nokia Technologies aims to have a larger impact with consumers and the medical community through a more focused, more agile digital health business.

Profit/(Loss) attributable to the equity holders of the parent

Year-on-year discussion

In the third quarter 2017, the increase in loss attributable to the equity holders of the parent was primarily due to operating loss in the third quarter 2017 compared to an operating profit in the third quarter 2016. This was partially offset by a tax benefit in the third quarter 2017, compared to a tax expense in the third quarter 2016, and, to a lesser extent, a net positive fluctuation in financial income and expenses.

The net positive fluctuation in financial income and expenses was primarily due to gains from venture fund investments, partially offset by an impairment charge related to the performance of certain private funds investing in IPR.

The change in taxes from an expense in the third quarter 2016 to a benefit in the third quarter 2017 was primarily due to lower taxes resulting from a change in Nokia's regional profit mix.

Sequential discussion

In the third quarter 2017, the decrease in loss attributable to the equity holders of the parent was primarily due to a tax benefit in the third quarter 2017, compared to a tax expense in the second quarter 2017, and a net positive fluctuation in financial income and expenses. This was partially offset by an increase in operating loss.

The net positive fluctuation in financial income and expenses was primarily due to the absence of non-IFRS exclusions related to Nokia's tender offer to purchase the 6.50% notes due January 15, 2028, the 6.45% notes due March 15, 2029 and the 5.375% notes due May 15, 2019, which negatively affected the second quarter 2017, as well as higher gains related to venture fund investments. This was partially offset by an impairment charge related to the performance of certain private funds investing in IPR.

The change in taxes from an expense in the second quarter 2017, to a benefit in the third quarter 2017, was primarily due to the absence of both a non-recurring change to uncertain tax positions and a non-recurring tax expense related to deferred tax valuation allowance.

Description of non-IFRS exclusions in Q3 2017

Non-IFRS exclusions consist of costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia's underlying business performance. For additional details, please refer to note 2, "Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation", in the Financial statement information section in this report.

Non-IFRS exclusions in net sales

In the third quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in net sales amounted to EUR 38 million, and related to product portfolio strategy costs and a purchase price allocation adjustment related to a reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent's balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.

Non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit

In the third quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit amounted to EUR 898 million, and were primarily due to non-IFRS exclusions that adversely affected gross profit, research and development ("R&D") expenses, SG&A expenses and other income and expenses as follows:

In the third quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in gross profit amounted to EUR 181 million, and were primarily due to product portfolio strategy costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, and the deferred revenue.

In the third quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in R&D expenses amounted to EUR 177 million, and were primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and, to a lesser extent, product portfolio strategy costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

In the third quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in SG&A expenses amounted to EUR 139 million, and were primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and integration and transaction related costs.

In the third quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in other income and expenses amounted to EUR 401 million, and were primarily due to restructuring and associated charges for Nokia's cost reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives, and a EUR 141 million impairment charge.

Non-IFRS exclusions in profit/(loss) attributable to the equity holders of the parent

In the third quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in profit/(loss) attributable to the equity holders of the parent amounted to EUR 706 million, and were primarily due to the non-IFRS exclusions affecting operating profit, in addition to non-IFRS exclusions that adversely affected financial income and expenses and taxes as follows:

In the third quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in financial income and expenses amounted to zero.

In the third quarter 2017, non-IFRS exclusions in taxes amounted to EUR 192 million, and were due to non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit.

In full year 2016, the actual total cost savings benefitted from lower incentive accruals, related to the full year 2016 financial performance. Lower incentive accruals drove more than half of the higher than previously expected decrease in total costs in 2016, and this is expected to reverse in 2017, assuming full year 2017 financial performance in-line with our expectations. On a cumulative basis, Nokia continues to be on track to achieve the targeted EUR 1.2 billion of total cost savings in full year 2018.

The increase in restructuring and associated charges is expected to be approximately EUR 200 million, approximately half of which is related to a non-cash US pension curtailment and the other half related to a number of smaller items, which are expected to have an approximately EUR 100 million cash impact.

The approximately EUR 500 million increase in estimated charges and cash outflows related to network equipment swaps was primarily due to the extended time taken to converge a limited set of products. We are now fully in the deployment phase of our swaps program. In addition to the increase in estimated charges and cash outflows, the program was also extended into 2019.

OUTLOOK

 

Metric

Guidance

Commentary

Nokia

Annual cost savings for Nokia, excluding Nokia Technologies

Approximately EUR 1.2 billion of total annual cost savings to be achieved in full year 20181

Compared to the combined non-IFRS operating costs of Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent for full year 2015, excluding Nokia Technologies. Nokia expects approximately EUR 800 million of the cost savings to come from operating expenses and approximately EUR 400 million from cost of sales.

 

Restructuring and associated charges are expected to total approximately EUR 1.9 billion. Restructuring and associated cash outflows are expected to total approximately EUR 2.25 billion.

(This is an update to earlier commentary for restructuring and associated charges to total approximately EUR 1.7 billion and restructuring and associated cash outflows to total approximately EUR 2.15 billion.)

 

Network equipment swaps

Approximately EUR 1.4 billion in total1

(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 network equipment swaps to be approximately EUR 900 million total.)

 

Non-IFRS financial income and expenses

Expense of approximately EUR 250 million in full year 2017

Primarily includes net interest expenses related to interest-bearing liabilities and defined benefit pension and other post-employment benefit plans, as well as the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain balance sheet items.

Nokia expects cash outflows related to non-IFRS financial income and expenses to be approximately EUR 200 million in full year 2017.

 

Non-IFRS tax rate

Approximately 20% for full year 2017

(update)

Nokia's non-IFRS tax rate in full year 2017 is expected to be influenced by factors including regional profit mix.

(This is an update to earlier guidance and commentary for the non-IFRS tax rate to be between 25% to 30% for full year 2017.)

Nokia expects cash outflows related to taxes to be approximately EUR 800 million for full year 2017.

 

Capital expenditures

Approximately EUR 600 million in full year 2017

(update)

Primarily attributable to Nokia's Networks business.

(This is an update to earlier guidance for capital expenditures to be approximately EUR 500 million for full year 2017.)

Nokia's Networks business

Net sales

Decline in line with the primary addressable market in full year 2017

We currently expect market conditions for full year 2017 to be slightly more challenging than earlier anticipated, and we are providing new commentary on our primary addressable market for full year 2018. Guidance for Nokia's Networks business in 2018 is planned to be provided in conjunction with Nokia's Report for Q4 and Full Year 2017.

Nokia's outlook for net sales and operating margin for Nokia's Networks business are expected to be influenced by factors including:

  • An approximately 4 to 5 percent decline in the primary addressable market for Nokia's Networks business in full year 2017, compared to the full year 2016, on a constant currency basis (This is an update to earlier commentary for a 3 to 5 percent decline.);
  • An approximately 2 to 5 percent decline in the primary addressable market for Nokia's Networks business in full year 2018, compared to the full year 2017, on a constant currency basis (new commentary for our primary addressable market in full year 2018);
  • Uncertainty related to the timing of completions and acceptances of certain projects, particularly in the second half of 2017 and first half of 2018 (new commentary for the first half of 2018);
  • Robust competition in China, which is expected to adversely affect the fourth quarter 2017 in particular (new commentary);
  • Uncertainty related to potential mergers or acquisitions by our customers (new commentary);
  • Competitive industry dynamics;
  • Product and regional mix;
  • The timing of major network deployments;
  • Execution of cost savings and reinvestment plans, with operating expenses down on a year-on-year basis in full year 2017; and
  • The level of R&D investment needed to maintain product competitiveness and accelerate 5G.

Net sales

 

Not provided

 

Due to risks and uncertainties in determining the timing and value of significant licensing agreements, Nokia believes it is not appropriate to provide an annual outlook for full year 2017.

For patent and brand licensing, Nokia is now disclosing net sales on a quarterly basis, rather than providing an annualized net sales run rate.

In the third quarter 2017, Nokia announced plans to focus on patent, brand and technology licensing and target faster growth in digital health and accelerate growth in that market, while optimizing investments in virtual reality. Due to a reduced focus on digital media, Nokia no longer believes it is appropriate to provide an annual outlook for digital health and digital media for the full year 2017 (new commentary).

(This is an update to earlier commentary for total net sales from digital health and digital media to grow year-on-year in full year 2017, primarily influenced by increased consumer adoption of our digital health and digital media products.)
