PEKKA LUNDMARK, PRESIDENT AND CEO, ON Q3 2021 RESULTS

We delivered another great quarter driven by our increased investments in technology leadership and strong market demand. The highlight of the quarter was the launch of our next generation FP5 IP routing silicon – delivering up to three times more capacity while reducing power consumption by up to 75% per bit compared to previous generation. This will help reduce the carbon footprint of both Nokia and our customers, while also helping customers to manage their operating expenses.

The third quarter saw us achieve 2% constant currency net sales growth despite the impact of earlier communicated headwinds in North America for Mobile Networks and global supply chain constraints. These headwinds were offset by strong growth in Network Infrastructure against a tough year-on-year comparison and by Cloud and Network Services achieving double-digit growth. Our comparable operating margin for the quarter was 11.7%, which is a further testament to the accountability and financial discipline that our new operating model is driving through the organization.

We now have over 380 private wireless customers and the business continues to grow strongly. We are further increasing our investment to ensure we maintain the lead we have built with the industry’s most complete offering.

Overall, I am pleased with our strong financial performance in 2021 so far. We continue to expect seasonality to be less pronounced this year than previously and are reiterating our full year 2021 outlook. Considering our continued strength, we now expect to be towards the upper-end of our comparable operating margin range. As we look ahead, we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on strong demand in our end markets through strengthened technology leadership and improved cost competitiveness. However, the uncertainty around the global semiconductor market limits our visibility into Q4 and 2022. We are working closely not only with our suppliers to ensure component availability but also with our customers to ensure we can meet their needs and mitigate the unprecedented component cost inflation our industry faces. Coupled with the one-offs we’ve benefited from this year, this may limit our margin expansion potential in 2022.

OUTLOOK ASSUMPTIONS

· Nokia’s outlook assumptions for the comparable operating margin of each business group in 2021 and 2023 are provided below:

	Full year 2021	Full year 2023
Mobile Networks	4 to 7%	5 to 8%
Network Infrastructure	8 to 11%	9 to 12%
Cloud and Network Services	3 to 6%	8 to 11%
Nokia Technologies	>75%	>75%

· We maintain our expectation for Nokia Technologies to deliver a slight improvement in comparable operating profit in full year 2021, relative to full year 2020, and stable performance over the longer-term;

· Group Common and Other primarily consists of support function costs. We expect the net negative impact of Group Common and Other to be between EUR 150 and 200 million in 2021 and approximately EUR 200 million over the longer-term. The update to our 2021 expectation largely reflects the year-to-date impact from Nokia’s venture fund investments (update);

· In full year 2021, Nokia expects the free cash flow performance of Nokia Technologies to be approximately EUR 600 million lower than its operating profit, primarily due to prepayments we received from certain licensees in previous years;

· Comparable financial income and expenses are expected to be an expense of approximately EUR 200 million in full year 2021 and EUR 250 million over the longer-term;

· Comparable income tax expenses are expected to be approximately EUR 450 million in full year 2021 and over the longer-term, subject to regional profit mix, net sales subject to withholding taxes and the timing of patent licensing cash flow. Over the longer-term, there is some uncertainty in forecasting income tax expenses, as they are also subject to changes in tax legislation, including potential tax reform in the U.S. and the OECD Pillar initiatives (update);

· Cash outflows related to income taxes are expected to be approximately EUR 350 million in full year 2021 and over the longer-term until our US or Finnish deferred tax assets are fully utilized, subject to regional profit mix, net sales subject to withholding taxes and the timing of patent licensing cash flow. Over the longer-term, there is some uncertainty in forecasting cash taxes, as they are also subject to changes in tax legislation, including potential tax reform in the U.S. and the OECD Pillar initiatives (update);

· Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately EUR 600 million over the longer-term; 2021 slightly below that level and with some variation in future years around that level (update); and

· Rule of thumb related to currency fluctuations: Assuming our current mix of net sales and total costs (refer to Note 1, Basis of Preparation, in the Financial statement information section included in Nokia Corporation Financial Report for Q3 2021 for details), we expect that a 10% increase in the EUR/USD exchange rate would have an impact of approximately negative 4 to 5% on net sales and an approximately neutral impact on operating profit.

Outlook assumptions

§ Nokia’s outlook assumptions for the comparable operating margin of each business group in 2021 and 2023 are provided below:

	Full year 2021	Full year 2023
Mobile Networks	4 to 7%	5 to 8%
Network Infrastructure	8 to 11%	9 to 12%
Cloud and Network Services	3 to 6%	8 to 11%
Nokia Technologies	>75%	>75%

§ We maintain our expectation for Nokia Technologies to deliver a slight improvement in comparable operating profit in full year 2021, relative to full year 2020, and stable performance over the longer-term;

§ Group Common and Other primarily consists of support function costs. We expect the net negative impact of Group Common and Other to be between EUR 150 and 200 million in 2021 and approximately EUR 200 million over the longer-term. The update to our 2021 expectation largely reflects the year-to-date impact from Nokia’s venture fund investments (update);

§ In full year 2021, Nokia expects the free cash flow performance of Nokia Technologies to be approximately EUR 600 million lower than its operating profit, primarily due to prepayments we received from certain licensees in previous years;

§ Comparable financial income and expenses are expected to be an expense of approximately EUR 200 million in full year 2021 and EUR 250 million over the longer-term;

§ Comparable income tax expenses are expected to be approximately EUR 450 million in full year 2021 and over the longer-term, subject to regional profit mix, net sales subject to withholding taxes and the timing of patent licensing cash flow. Over the longer-term, there is some uncertainty in forecasting income tax expenses, as they are also subject to changes in tax legislation, including potential tax reform in the U.S. and the OECD Pillar initiatives (update);

§ Cash outflows related to income taxes are expected to be approximately EUR 350 million in full year 2021 and over the longer-term until our US or Finnish deferred tax assets are fully utilized, subject to regional profit mix, net sales subject to withholding taxes and the timing of patent licensing cash flow. Over the longer-term, there is some uncertainty in forecasting cash taxes, as they are also subject to changes in tax legislation, including potential tax reform in the U.S. and the OECD Pillar initiatives (update);

§ Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately EUR 600 million over the longer-term; 2021 slightly below that level and with some variation in future years around that level (update); and

§ Rule of thumb related to currency fluctuations: Assuming our current mix of net sales and total costs (refer to Note 1, Basis of Preparation, in the Financial statement information section for details), we expect that a 10% increase in the EUR/USD exchange rate would have an impact of approximately negative 4 to 5% on net sales and an approximately neutral impact on operating profit.

Net sales

In Q3 2021, net sales increased 2% on both a reported and constant currency basis.

Net sales growth was driven by continued strength in Network Infrastructure, and double-digit growth in both Cloud and Network Services and Nokia Technologies, balanced by a decline in Mobile Networks.

From a regional perspective, North America, Asia Pacific and Latin America witnessed strong growth, which was partly offset by declines in Europe, Middle East and Africa, Greater China and India. Notably, net sales in North America increased 9% on a constant currency basis, primarily due to Network Infrastructure and Cloud and Network Services, partially offset by declines in Mobile Networks. The growth in Asia Pacific was primarily driven by strong 5G investments in Japan.

From a customer perspective, net sales to Enterprise customers decreased 4% on both a reported basis and constant currency basis. In the quarter, we faced headwinds related to Network Infrastructure Enterprise products, but we continued to see strong momentum in private wireless, with strong growth in our Mobile Networks Enterprise products. We now have more than 380 customers for our private wireless solutions. In Q3 2021, we added 101 new Enterprise customers and our pipeline remains strong.

Gross margin

Reported gross margin in Q3 2021 was 40.7%, compared to 37.1% in Q3 2020. Comparable gross margin was 40.8%, compared to 37.4% in Q3 2020. The improvement in comparable gross margin was primarily driven by Mobile Networks and Cloud and Network Services. The increase in Mobile Networks stems mainly from progress in our cost competitiveness, improvements in indirect cost of sales and favorable customer mix. This was partially offset by the earlier communicated impact from market share loss and price erosion in North America. The increase in Cloud and Network Services was primarily driven by the absence of a project-related loss provision that negatively impacted Q3 2020, as well as higher net sales and overall operational improvements.

Operating profit and margin

Reported operating profit was EUR 502 million, or 9.3% of net sales, compared to EUR 350 million, or 6.6% of net sales in Q3 2020. Comparable operating profit was EUR 633 million, or 11.7% of net sales, compared to EUR 486 million, or 9.2% of net sales in Q3 2020. The improvement in comparable operating profit and operating margin was primarily driven by higher gross profit and a net positive fluctuation in other income and expenses, related to Nokia’s venture fund investments and the absence of loss allowances on certain trade receivables, which negatively impacted Q3 2020. This was partially offset by higher R&D expenses, in both Mobile Networks and Network Infrastructure, and to a lesser extent, higher SG&A expenses. In Q3 2021, operating profit was negatively impacted by higher incentive accruals, compared to Q3 2020.

In Q3 2021, the net benefit related to Nokia’s venture fund investments, which is recorded in Group Common and Other results, was approximately EUR 40 million, compared to a net loss of approximately EUR 20 million in Q3 2020.

In Q3 2021 and Q3 2020, the difference between reported and comparable operating profit was primarily related to restructuring and associated charges and the amortization of acquired intangible assets. In Q3 2020, reported operating profit also included a gain on defined benefit plan amendment, which was not included in comparable results.

Profit/loss for the period

Reported net profit was EUR 351 million, compared to a net profit of EUR 197 million in Q3 2020. Comparable net profit was EUR 463 million, compared to EUR 305 million in Q3 2020. The improvement in comparable net profit was primarily driven by the increase in comparable operating profit and a net positive fluctuation in financial income and expenses, partially offset by an increase in income tax expenses, reflecting higher profit before tax.

In Q3 2021 and Q3 2020, in addition to the items impacting comparability included in operating profit (and their associated tax effects), the difference between reported and comparable net profit was primarily related to the change in financial liability to acquire Nokia Shanghai-Bell non-controlling interest.

Earnings per share

Reported diluted EPS was EUR 0.06, compared to EUR 0.03 in Q3 2020. Comparable diluted EPS was EUR 0.08, compared to EUR 0.05 in Q3 2020.

Comparable return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”)

Q3 2021 comparable ROIC was 20.2%, compared to 11.6% in Q3 2020. The increase was primarily driven by growth in operating profit and lower invested capital, reflecting growth in average total cash and current financial investments and a decrease in average total equity, partially offset by an increase in average total interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in average total equity is primarily attributable to the derecognition of Finnish deferred tax assets in Q4 2020.

Cash performance

During Q3 2021, net cash increased approximately EUR 610 million, resulting in an end-of-quarter net cash balance of approximately EUR 4.3 billion. During Q3 2021, total cash increased by approximately EUR 630 million, resulting in an end-of-quarter total cash balance of approximately EUR 9.4 billion. The cash performance in Q3 2021 reflected strong operating profit and a minimal decrease in cash related to net working capital, driven by restructuring as well as supply chain challenges, which limited our ability to build inventory. Q3 2021 was the sixth quarter in a row of positive free cash flow.

Pension Update

In Q3 2021, Nokia modified the terms of its US defined benefit pension plans. As a result of the modification, Nokia recognized a reduction in the effect of the asset ceiling of approximately EUR 1.4 billion, increasing the defined benefit pension assets by the same amount. Consequently, the impact of the modification on other comprehensive income and fair value and other reserves was approximately EUR 1.1 billion positive net of tax.

More information on the funded status of Nokia’s defined benefit plans can be found in Note 4, Pensions and Other Post-Employment Benefits, in the Financial statement information section.

Financial results

January-September 2021 compared to January-September 2020

Net sales

In the first nine months of 2021, reported net sales increased 3%, primarily driven by Network Infrastructure and Nokia Technologies, partially offset by Mobile Networks and Cloud and Network Services, which were negatively impacted primarily by foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

On a constant currency basis, Nokia net sales increased 6% in the first nine months of 2021. Network Infrastructure saw growth across all four of its businesses. Nokia Technologies net sales grew, driven by higher patent licensing net sales related to both new and renewed patent license agreements signed this year and in Q4 2020 and catch-up net sales related to new patent license agreements, partially offset by lower brand licensing net sales. The increase in Cloud and Network Services was primarily driven by Core Networks and Enterprise Solutions, partially offset by Cloud and Cognitive Services and Business Applications. Mobile Networks net sales were flat, primarily driven by strong growth in 5G, partially offset by legacy radio access products, as well as services.

From a regional perspective, the increase in constant currency net sales was driven by broad-based growth across most regions, with the exception of Middle East and Africa and Asia Pacific. Notably, net sales in North America increased 6% on a reported basis and 11% on a constant currency basis, primarily due to Network Infrastructure and Cloud and Network Services, partially offset by Mobile Networks.

From a customer perspective, net sales to Enterprise customers increased 1% on a reported basis and 3% on a constant currency basis. Year-to-date, we have added 227 new Enterprise customers, and our pipeline remains strong. We also continued to have strong momentum in private wireless, now with more than 380 customers.

Gross margin

Reported gross margin in the first nine months of 2021 was 39.9%, compared to 36.9% in the first nine months of 2020. Comparable gross margin was 40.5%, compared to 37.8% in the year-ago period. The improvement in comparable gross margin was primarily driven by Mobile Networks, Cloud and Network Services and, to a lesser extent, Nokia Technologies. The increase in Mobile Networks stems mainly from 5G growth, favorable regional mix and the impact of a one-time software deal that was completed in Q2 2021. The increase in Cloud and Network Services was primarily driven by the absence of a project-related loss provision that negatively impacted the year-ago period, as well as higher net sales. The increase in Nokia Technologies reflected higher net sales.

Operating profit and margin

Reported operating profit in the first nine months of 2021 was EUR 1 418 million, or 9.0% of net sales, compared to EUR 444 million, or 2.9% of net sales, in the first nine months of 2020. Comparable operating profit was EUR 1 867 million, or 11.8% of net sales, compared to EUR 1 025 million, or 6.7% of net sales in the year-ago period. The improvement in comparable operating profit and operating margin was primarily driven by higher gross profit, a net positive fluctuation in other income and expenses, primarily related to Nokia’s venture fund investments, foreign exchange hedging and the reversal of loss allowances on certain trade receivables, as well as lower SG&A expenses. This was partially offset by higher R&D expenses in Mobile Networks and, to a lesser extent, Network Infrastructure. In the first nine months of 2021, operating profit was negatively impacted by higher incentive accruals, compared to the first nine months of 2020.

In the first nine months of 2021, the net benefit related to Nokia’s venture fund investments, which is recorded in Group Common and Other results, was approximately EUR 140 million, compared to a net loss of approximately EUR 60 million in the year-ago period.

In the first nine months of 2021 and the first nine months of 2020, the difference between reported and comparable operating profit was primarily related to restructuring and associated charges, the amortization of acquired intangible assets and the impairment of assets. In the first nine months of 2021, reported operating profit also included a gain related to the settlement of legal disputes, which was not included in comparable results. In the first nine months of 2020, reported operating profit also included a gain on defined benefit plan amendment.

Profit/loss for the period

Reported net profit was EUR 965 million, compared to EUR 180 million in the first nine months of 2020. Comparable net profit was EUR 1 377 million, compared to EUR 653 million in the year-ago period. The improvement in comparable net profit was primarily driven by the increase in comparable operating profit and a net positive fluctuation in financial income and expenses, partially offset by an increase in income tax expenses, reflecting higher profit before tax.

In the first nine months of 2021 and the first nine months of 2020, in addition to the items impacting comparability included in operating profit (and their associated tax effects), the difference between reported and comparable net profit/loss was primarily related to the change in financial liability to acquire Nokia Shanghai-Bell non-controlling interest and change in the income tax expense driven by the one-off deferred tax expense related to legal entity restructuring in the first nine months of 2020 and a deferred tax benefit due to tax rate changes in the first nine months of 2021.

Earnings per share

Reported diluted EPS in the first nine months of 2021 was EUR 0.17, compared to EUR 0.03 in the first nine months of 2020. Comparable diluted EPS was EUR 0.24, compared to EUR 0.11 in the year-ago period.

Cash performance

The strong cash performance in the first nine months of 2021 was primarily driven by our strong operating profit, lower levels of inventory due to supply chain challenges, as well as good collection of receivables in Q1 2021. At the end of Q3 2021, we had a net cash balance of approximately EUR 4.3 billion and a total cash balance of approximately EUR 9.4 billion.

Free cash flow

During Q3 2021, Nokia’s free cash flow was EUR 706 million, reflecting strong operating profit and a minimal decrease in cash related to net working capital.

Net cash from operating activities

Net cash from operating activities was driven by:

§ Nokia’s adjusted profit of EUR 815 million.

§ Approximately EUR 110 million of restructuring and associated cash outflows, related to our current and previous cost savings programs.

§ Excluding the restructuring and associated cash outflows, the increase in net cash related to net working capital was approximately EUR 80 million, as follows:

o The increase in receivables was approximately EUR 60 million.

o The increase in inventories was approximately EUR 70 million, as our ability to increase inventories was limited by supply chain challenges.

o The increase in liabilities was approximately EUR 200 million, primarily due to an increase in liabilities related to employee incentives and an increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a decrease in contract liabilities and deferred revenue.

§ An outflow related to cash taxes of approximately EUR 40 million.

§ An outflow related to net interest of approximately EUR 20 million.

Net cash used in investing activities

§ Net cash used in investing activities was related primarily to capital expenditures of approximately EUR 130 million, which was mostly offset by a net cash inflow from non-current financial investments of approximately EUR 100 million, primarily related to venture fund distributions, and the sale of fixed assets of approximately EUR 10 million.

Net cash used in financing activities

§ Net cash used in financing activities was related primarily to lease payments of approximately EUR 70 million.

Change in total cash and net cash

In Q3 2021, the approximately EUR 20 million difference between the change in total cash and net cash was primarily due to changes in the carrying amounts of certain issued bonds, as a result of foreign exchange fluctuations.

Foreign exchange rates had an approximately EUR 20 million negative impact on net cash.

Sustainability

Our strategy and focus areas

We create technology that helps the world act together. We strongly believe that connectivity and technology will play a key role in helping to solve many future challenges. Our sustainability strategy is focused on the areas we believe will have the greatest impact on sustainable development and our profitability: climate, integrity and culture.

Climate

The importance of combatting climate change through connectivity solutions will only increase and we recognize our responsibility in the fight against climate change. We have committed to cut our greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent between 2019 and 2030 as part of our updated Science Based Targets (SBTs), in line with a 1.5°C warming scenario. This target covers emissions across our own operations and close to 100% of our current product portfolio, as well as logistics and final assembly factories within our supply chain.

We continue to invest in innovation to drive down emissions and energy consumption of our products. In September we launched FP5, our fifth generation of high-performance IP routing silicon. The FP5 network processors drive down power consumption per bit by 75% in comparison with previous generation.

Learning, capacity building and collaboration with our suppliers is a key part of our efforts in working towards reaching our emissions targets. In our annual supplier Diamond Awards held in Q3, the Sustainability award was given to WUS Printed Circuit for their significant achievements in reducing the emissions of PWB (printed wiring board) manufacturing by half over the past five years, helping Nokia to address one of the most energy intense parts in our supply chain and cut our supplier-born Scope 3 emissions.

Integrity

Integrity is embedded in everything we do. In Q3, we launched our 2021 Ethical Business Training course – a course that is mandatory for every Nokia employee each year. This course centers on our Code of Conduct and includes our annual Code acknowledgement and conflict of interest disclosure process. Training and communications are critical pillars of our compliance program to raise awareness about compliance risks and the many resources we provide to help support and guide our employees.

In Q3, we also celebrated our annual Integrity Day, with events such as a senior leader panel discussion, a gamified compliance learning module, and recognition of 25 ethical role models by our CEO and Chief Legal Officer, along with local events organized by teams around the globe. While it is important to practice high ethical standards every day, this annual event is an opportunity to reflect on the importance of integrity and to have engaging discussions with leaders and employees about the practical aspects of business ethics.

Culture

We believe our people are our greatest asset and we aim to enable a culture that drives business value based on three essentials that were launched this year as part of our new Nokia Platform: open, fearless and empowered. The essentials play a key role in our new Mode of Operation and so we hosted online sessions where we, as a company, came together to reflect on how we are learning and progressing in bringing our essentials to life in our everyday actions.

In support of an open and fearless culture we launched the mandatory Inclusion and Diversity training and our inclusion survey, through which we measure the improvement of internal inclusion. We revised our recruitment practices to be able to source and attract more women for Nokia’s open positions and trained our talent attraction teams and hiring managers on inclusive, unbiased hiring practices. During Q3, we finalized the delivery of online workshops to our suppliers on Nokia’s labor practices with a deep-dive into inclusion and diversity and a special focus on ethnic, religious, sexual and gender minorities. We have now carried out 24 country specific sessions and a global session addressed to all other country locations.

Also in Q3, we launched a scholarship program with Udacity and Blacks in Technology Foundation aimed at improving representation in the technology industry. The program offers over 300 scholarships to members of the underrepresented community in areas such as data science, AI and programming. With this program we reached our goal of directing 30% of our corporate social responsibility (CSR) spend toward programs focused on empowering diversity.

Other topics

We continue to do our part in driving digitalization and connecting the unconnected in rural, as well as disadvantaged urban areas. In Q3, we announced that in Kenya our work with UNICEF moved from a corporate social responsibility pilot program into a commercial rollout as we have now connected 90 primary schools around the country in close collaboration with multiple stakeholders including Safaricom, UNICEF Kenya and the Kenyan Ministries of Education and ICT.

In Q3, we also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the African Telecommunications Union (ATU) to drive digital transformation and the knowledge economy for socio-economic development across the continent. This will focus on areas such as connecting the unconnected with broadband, inclusion and diversity, and the development of emerging talent for digital innovation.

Addressable market development

As of the end of Q3 2021, the forecasted Mobile Networks addressable market, excluding China, for 2021 was EUR 46 billion, calculated assuming actual currency rates for the first nine months of 2021 and that the end of September EUR/USD rate of 1.16 continues for the remainder of 2021.

On a constant currency basis, we estimate that the addressable market, excluding China, will grow by approximately 5% (compared to our 6% forecast in Q2 2021). The change was primarily driven by reduced expectations for the CSP 4G and 5G radio access market in Asia Pacific, India and Middle East and Africa.

Net sales

Mobile Networks net sales decreased 5% on both a reported and constant currency basis.

Within Mobile Networks, strong 5G product demand was more than offset by continued declines in legacy radio access products, as well as services.

From a regional perspective, the decrease was primarily driven by North America, reflecting earlier communicated market share loss and price erosion. This was offset by strong performance in Asia Pacific, where strong growth in Japan was partially offset by declines in South Korea.

Gross margin

Reported gross margin was 37.7%, compared to 35.9% in Q3 2020. Comparable gross margin was 37.8%, compared to 35.6% in Q3 2020. The improvement in comparable gross margin stems mainly from progress in our cost competitiveness, improvements in indirect cost of sales and favorable customer mix. This was partially offset by the earlier communicated impact from market share loss and price erosion in North America.

Operating profit/(loss) and margin

Reported operating profit was EUR 137 million, or 5.9% of net sales, compared to EUR 182 million, or 7.4% of net sales, in Q3 2020. Comparable operating profit was EUR 169 million, or 7.3% of net sales, compared to EUR 206 million, or 8.4% of net sales, in Q3 2020. The decrease in comparable operating profit and operating margin was primarily driven by an increase in R&D expenses to accelerate our product roadmaps and cost competitiveness. This was partially offset by a net positive fluctuation in other operating income and expenses, related to the absence of loss allowances on certain trade receivables, which negatively impacted Q3 2020. In Q3 2021, operating profit was negatively impacted by higher incentive accruals, compared to Q3 2020.

Operational Key Performance Indicators

Proportion of our 5G shipments that are “5G Powered by ReefShark”

This KPI tracks shipments of our System-on-Chip (“SoC”) based 5G Powered by ReefShark (“5G PBR”) product portfolio. Increased 5G PBR shipments are expected to help reduce our product cost and improve the power efficiency of our products.

In Q3 2021, 5G PBR accounted for 53% of shipments. The slight sequential decline reflects delivery mix in the quarter. Our product development roadmaps remain on track for 5G PBR to account for ~70% of product shipments by the end of 2021, and ~100% of product shipments by the end of 2022, and we are reconfirming these previously stated targets. The new AirScale radio and baseband products launched in Q2 2021 are also important final steps towards our full SoC portfolio evolution.

Our weighted 5G conversion rate and market share

This KPI measures how we are doing in converting our end of 2018 4G footprint into 5G footprint. It factors in customer size, as well as new 5G footprint where we did not previously have a 4G installed base (meaning it can be over 100%).

At the end of Q3 2021, our 5G conversion rate remains approximately 90%, excluding China. Including China, our 5G conversion rate improved to the low 80% range, reflecting footprint gains in China. Since the end of 2018, our 4G to 5G conversion rate has been impacted by not converting all of our 4G footprint into 5G footprint in North America and China. We believe this has now stabilized and we see opportunities through which it could start to improve, but the timing of deals remains uncertain.

We are targeting 4G + 5G market share, excluding China, to be approximately 25% to 27% in full year 2021, although there are some uncertainties related to supply chain challenges.

Addressable market development

As of the end of Q3 2021, the forecasted Network Infrastructure addressable market, excluding Submarine Networks, for 2021 was EUR 43 billion, calculated assuming actual currency rates for the first nine months of 2021 and that the end of September EUR/USD rate of 1.16 continues for the remainder of 2021.

On a constant currency basis, we estimate that the addressable market, excluding Submarine Networks, will grow by approximately 5% (compared to our 4% forecast in Q2 2021). The change was primarily driven by increased expectations for the CSP Fixed Networks and CSP IP Networks markets.

Net sales

Network Infrastructure net sales increased 7%. On a constant currency basis, Network Infrastructure net sales increased 6%.

The net sales increase in Network Infrastructure reflects strong growth in both Fixed Networks and Submarine Networks, flat performance in IP Networks and a decline in Optical Networks.

The flat performance in IP Networks was a result of strong growth in North America and Asia Pacific, offset by declines in Europe, Middle East and Africa, as well as Greater China.

Optical Networks faced a difficult year-on-year comparison, as Q3 2020 benefitted from pent-up demand. From a regional perspective, growth in North America and Latin America was offset by declines in Asia Pacific, where we faced a tough year-on-year comparison, as well as Middle East and Africa.

Strong growth continued in Fixed Networks, driven by Fixed Wireless Access and fiber technologies, as CSPs continue to invest in broadband connectivity, particularly in North America.

Submarine Networks continued to benefit from large sub-sea telecommunications projects.

Gross margin

Reported gross margin was 35.7%, compared to 35.4% in Q3 2020. Comparable gross margin was 35.9%, compared to 36.1% in Q3 2020. Gross margin performance was strong across all our businesses, except for Submarine Networks, which resulted in a slight decrease in comparable gross margin.

Operating profit/(loss) and margin

Reported operating profit was EUR 100 million, or 5.2% of net sales, compared to EUR 118 million, or 6.6% of net sales, in Q3 2020. Comparable operating profit was EUR 187 million, or 9.8% of net sales, compared to EUR 212 million, or 11.8% of net sales, in Q3 2020. The decline in comparable operating profit and operating margin was primarily driven by higher R&D expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit. We expect the increase in R&D expenses to persist for the remainder of 2021, as we continue to invest in customer-focused technology leadership. In Q3 2021, operating profit was negatively impacted by higher incentive accruals, compared to Q3 2020.

In Q3 2021 and Q3 2020, the difference between reported and comparable operating profit was primarily related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets and restructuring and associated charges.

Addressable market development

As of the end of Q3 2021, the forecasted Cloud and Network Services addressable market for 2021 was EUR 26 billion, calculated assuming actual currency rates for the first nine months of 2021 and that the end of September EUR/USD rate of 1.16 continues for the remainder of 2021.

On a constant currency basis, we estimate that the addressable market will grow by approximately 4% (unchanged from previous estimate).

Net sales

Cloud and Network Services net sales increased 13%. On a constant currency basis, Cloud and Network Services net sales increased 12%.

The net sales increase reflected strong double-digit growth in both Core Networks, which continued to benefit from 5G core deployments, as well as in Enterprise Solutions. This was partially offset by Cloud and Cognitive Services, reflecting work to address poorly performing projects.

Gross margin

Reported gross margin was 37.2%, compared to 17.6% in Q3 2020. Comparable gross margin was 37.6%, compared to 19.6% in Q3 2020. The strong expansion in gross profit and margin was driven by the absence of a project-related loss provision that negatively impacted Q3 2020, as well as higher net sales and overall operational improvements.

Operating profit/(loss) and margin

Reported operating profit was EUR 23 million, or 3.1% of net sales, compared to an operating loss of EUR 148 million, or negative 22.3% of net sales, in Q3 2020. Comparable operating profit was EUR 31 million, or 4.1% of net sales, compared to an operating loss of EUR 119 million, or negative 17.9% of net sales, in Q3 2020. The improvement was primarily driven by higher gross profit. In Q3 2021, operating profit was negatively impacted by higher incentive accruals, compared to Q3 2020.

In Q3 2021 and Q3 2020, the difference between reported and comparable operating result was primarily related to restructuring and associated charges and the amortization of acquired intangible assets.

Net sales

Nokia Technologies net sales increased 11% on both a reported and constant currency basis.

The increase in Nokia Technologies net sales was primarily due to higher patent licensing net sales related to new and renewed patent license agreements signed this year and in Q4 2020, as well as a positive impact from a one-time transaction. This was partially offset by lower net sales from one licensee, following the expiration of a patent licensing agreement, which is now in litigation.

Nokia Technologies annualized net sales run rate was in the range of approximately EUR 1.4 to 1.5 billion in Q3 2021.

Gross margin

Reported gross margin was 99.7%, compared to 98.8% in Q3 2020. Comparable gross margin was 99.7%, compared to 99.1% in Q3 2020. The slight improvement in comparable gross margin reflects higher net sales.

Operating profit/(loss) and margin

Reported operating profit was EUR 285 million, or 77.7% of net sales, compared to EUR 263 million, or 79.5% of net sales, in Q3 2020. Comparable operating profit was EUR 285 million, or 77.7% of net sales, compared to EUR 264 million, or 79.8% of net sales, in Q3 2020. The improvement in comparable operating profit was primarily driven by higher net sales, partially offset by a settlement charge related to the one-time transaction, recorded in Q3 2021, within other operating income and expenses. In Q3 2021, operating profit was negatively impacted by higher incentive accruals, compared to Q3 2020.

Comparable operating loss was EUR 38 million, or negative 59.4% of net sales, compared to an operating loss of EUR 77 million, or negative 114.9% of net sales, in Q3 2020. The improvement in comparable operating result and operating margin was primarily driven by a net positive fluctuation in other operating income and expense, primarily related to Nokia’s venture fund investments. This was partially offset by lower net sales and gross profit. In Q3 2021, the operating result was negatively impacted by higher incentive accruals, compared to Q3 2020.

In Q3 2021, the net benefit related to Nokia’s venture fund investments was approximately EUR 40 million, compared to a net loss of approximately EUR 20 million in Q3 2020.

In Q3 2021 and Q3 2020, the difference between reported and comparable operating result was primarily related to restructuring and associated charges.

Dividend policy

Target recurring, stable and over time growing ordinary dividend payments, taking into account the previous year’s earnings as well as the company’s financial position and business outlook.

Cost savings program

In Q1 2021, we announced plans to reset our cost base, targeting a reduction of approximately EUR 600 million by the end of 2023.

Given the strength in our end markets thus far in 2021, the pace of restructuring in 2021 has been slower than we initially planned. The overall size of the plan however remains unchanged, and continues to depend on the evolution of our end markets – consistent with our commentary when we announced the plan.

We expect these cost savings to result in approximately EUR 600-700 million of restructuring and associated charges by 2023.

We continue to expect approximately EUR 500 million of cash outflows related to our previous restructuring program, of which EUR 250 million are expected to be recorded in 2021 and EUR 250 million beyond 2021.

Significant events

January – September 2021

On 16 March 2021, Nokia announced plans to reset its cost base to invest in future capabilities. On a group level, this is expected to lower the company’s cost base by approximately EUR 600 million by the end of 2023. These savings are intended to offset increased investments in R&D, future capabilities and costs related to salary inflation. Nokia expects approximately EUR 600-700 million of restructuring and associated charges by 2023. Planned restructuring is expected to result in an 80 000-85 000 employee organization, over an 18-24-month period, instead of the approximately 90 000 employees Nokia had at the time of the announcement. The exact number will depend on market developments over the next two years from the announcement.

On 17 March 2021, Nokia announced it had appointed Melissa Schoeb as Chief Corporate Affairs Officer and member of the Group Leadership team effective from 12 April 2021. Nokia’s Chief Corporate Affairs Officer oversees Communications, Government Relations, Brand and Sustainability. Schoeb joins Nokia from Occidental, one of the world’s largest independent oil and gas companies, where she was Vice President, Corporate Affairs.

On 18 March 2021, Nokia held its Capital Markets Day and provided an overview of long-term market trends, how it is setting itself up for value creation, detailed plans for each of its business segments, its financial outlook and its updated dividend policy. For more details, refer to the stock exchange release by Nokia on 18 March 2021, and Nokia’s investor relations website at www.nokia.com/investors.

On 8 April 2021, Nokia held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) at its headquarters in Espoo under special arrangements due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Approximately 66 300 shareholders representing approximately 2 470 million shares and votes were represented at the meeting. The following resolutions were made:

§ No dividend is paid for the financial year 2020.

§ Sari Baldauf, Bruce Brown, Thomas Dannenfeldt, Jeanette Horan, Edward Kozel, Søren Skou, Carla Smits-Nusteling and Kari Stadigh were re-elected as members of the Board of Directors for a term ending at the close of the next AGM. In an assembly meeting that took place after the AGM, the Board re-elected Sari Baldauf as Chair of the Board, and Kari Stadigh as Vice Chair of the Board.

§ Remuneration Report of the Company’s governing bodies was supported.

§ Deloitte Oy was re-elected as the auditor for Nokia for the financial year 2022.

§ Board was authorized to resolve to repurchase a maximum of 550 million Nokia shares and to issue a maximum of 550 million shares through issuance of shares or special rights entitling to shares in one or more issues. The authorizations are effective until 7 October 2022 and they terminated the corresponding authorizations granted by the Annual General Meeting on 27 May 2020.

Risk Factors

Nokia and its business are exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties which include but are not limited to:

§ Competitive intensity, which is particularly impacting Mobile Networks and is expected to continue at a high level in full year 2021, as some competitors seek to take share in the early stages of 5G;

§ Our ability to accelerate our product roadmaps and cost competitiveness through additional 5G investments in full year 2021, thereby enabling us to drive product cost reductions and maintain the necessary scale to be competitive;

§ Some customers are reassessing their vendors in light of security concerns, creating near-term pressure to invest in order to secure long-term benefits;

§ Developments in North America following the conclusion of the C-band auction, including the potential for temporary capital expenditure constraints or the acceleration of 5G deployments;

§ The scope and duration of the COVID-19 impact, particularly in certain countries, including India, where the pandemic has worsened, and the pace and shape of the economic recovery following the pandemic;

§ The disturbance in the global supply chain;

§ Accelerating inflation;

§ Other macroeconomic, industry and competitive dynamics;

§ Our ability to procure certain standard components and the costs thereof, such as semiconductors;

§ The timing of completions and acceptances of certain projects;

§ Our product and regional mix;

§ The timing and value of new and existing patent licensing agreements with smartphone vendors, automotive companies, consumer electronics companies and other licensees;

§ Results in brand and technology licensing; costs to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights; and the regulatory landscape for patent licensing;

as well as the risk factors specified under Forward-looking Statements of this report, and our 2020 annual report on Form 20-F published on 4 March 2021 under Operating and financial review and prospects-Risk factors.

1 In Q3’21, Nokia changed the presentation of certain financial instruments impacting the cash flows within investing cash flow for Q1-Q3’21 to better reflect the nature of these instruments.

2 In 2021, Nokia changed the presentation of the cash flows relating to foreign exchange hedging of cash and cash equivalents from translation differences to cash flow from investing activities. The comparative amounts for 2020 have been reclassified accordingly. Refer to Note 1, Basis of preparation.

Consolidated statement of cash flows combines cash flows from both the continuing and the discontinued operations. The figures in the consolidated statement of cash flows cannot be directly traced from the statement of financial position without additional information as a result of acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries and net foreign exchange differences arising on consolidation.

to Financial statements |

| 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION |
| This
unaudited and condensed consolidated financial statement information of Nokia has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim
Financial Reporting, and it should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for 2020 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 consolidated financial statements for 2020.
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. This financial report was authorized for issue by management on 28
October 2021. Net sales and operating profit of the Nokia Group, particularly in Mobile Networks, Network Infrastructure and Cloud and Network
Services segments, are subject to seasonal fluctuations being generally highest in the fourth quarter and lowest in the first quarter
of the year. This is mainly due to the seasonality in the spending cycles of communication service providers. Management has identified its regions as the relevant category to present disaggregated revenue. Nokia's primary customer base consists
of companies that operate on a country specific or a regional basis and are subject to macroeconomic conditions specific to those
regions. Further, although Nokia’s technology cycle is similar around the world, each country or region is inherently in a
different stage of that cycle, often influenced by macroeconomic conditions. Each reportable segment, as described in
Note 2, Segment Information, operates in every region as described in Note 3, Net Sales. No reportable segment has a specific revenue
concentration in any region other than Nokia Technologies, which is included in Europe. Each type of customer, as disclosed in Note
3, Net Sales, operates in all regions. In 2017, Nokia and China Huaxin Post & Telecommunication Economy Development Center (China Huaxin) commenced operations of the
joint venture Nokia Shanghai Bell (NSB). China Huaxin obtained the right to fully transfer its ownership interest in NSB to Nokia
in exchange for a future cash settlement. To reflect this obligation, Nokia derecognized the non-controlling interest and records
a financial liability in current liabilities in line with the option exercise period. Any changes in the estimated future cash settlement
are recorded in financial income and expense. In the fourth quarter of 2020, Nokia reviewed the presentation of income and expenses related to its restructuring plans, pension
plan curtailments and amendments as well as certain asset impairments. As a result, Nokia reclassified the restructuring and associated
charges, pension curtailment and plan amendment income and expenses as well as certain impairment charges that were previously presented
in other operating income and expenses to the functional line items to enhance the relevance of information provided in Nokia’s
consolidated income statement. The comparative amounts for 2020 have been reclassified accordingly. Related to Q3 2020, as a result
of reclassification, Nokia’s cost of sales increased by EUR 14 million, R&D expenses increased by EUR 28 million, SG&A
expenses decreased by EUR 13 million, other operating income decreased by EUR 90 million and other operating expenses decreased by
EUR 119 million compared to the previously reported amounts. Related to Q1–Q3 2020, as a result of reclassification, Nokia’s
cost of sales increased by EUR 120 million, R&D expenses increased by EUR 91 million, SG&A expenses increased by EUR 35 million,
other operating income decreased by 90 million and other operating expenses decreased by EUR 336 million compared to the previously
reported amounts. In the first quarter of 2021, Nokia reviewed the presentation of cash flows related to foreign exchange hedging of cash and cash
equivalents. As a result, Nokia reclassified the results of foreign exchange hedging of cash and cash flows previously presented
in translation differences to the cash flow from investing activities to enhance the relevance of information provided in Nokia’s
consolidated statement of cash flows. The comparative amounts for 2020 have been reclassified accordingly. Related to Q3 2020, as
a result of the reclassification, the net cash used in investing activities decreased by EUR 21 million and translation differences
decreased by EUR 21 million compared to the previously reported amounts. Related to Q1–Q3 2020, as a result of the reclassification,
the net cash used in investing activities decreased by EUR 96 million and translation differences decreased by EUR 96 million compared
to the previously reported amounts. In 2020, the global economy and financial markets were severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, the impact of COVID-19
on our financial performance and financial position has been limited, primarily relating to temporary factory closures in the first
half of 2020. As of 30 September 2021, potential risks and uncertainties continue to exist related to the scope and duration of the
COVID-19 impact as well as the pace and shape of the economic recovery, and it is impossible to predict with accuracy the precise
impact of such risks on our business. |

| Comparable and constant currency
measures |
| --- |
| Nokia presents financial information on a reported, comparable (until the fourth quarter of 2020 non-IFRS) and constant currency basis. Comparable measures presented in this document exclude intangible asset amortization and other purchase price fair value adjustments, goodwill impairments, restructuring related charges and certain other items affecting comparability. In order to allow full visibility on determining comparable results, information on items affecting comparability 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. As comparable or constant currency financial measures are not defined in IFRS they may not be directly comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies, including those in the same industry. The primary rationale for presenting these measures is that the management uses these measures in assessing the financial performance of Nokia and believes that these measures provide meaningful supplemental information on the underlying business performance of Nokia. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with IFRS. Refer to Note 10, Performance measures, for further details. |
| Foreign
exchange rates |

Nokia’s net sales are derived from various countries and invoiced in various currencies. Therefore, our business and results from operations are exposed to changes in foreign 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. The below table shows the exposure to different currencies for net sales and total costs.

Net sales	Total costs	Net sales	Total costs	Net sales	Total costs
EUR	~25 %	~25 %	~25 %	~25 %	~25 %	~25 %
USD	~50 %	~50 %	~50 %	~50 %	~50 %	~50 %
CNY	~5 %	~5 %	~5 %	~5 %	~5 %	~5 %
Other	~20 %	~20 %	~20 %	~20 %	~20 %	~20 %
Total	100 %	100 %	100 %	100 %	100 %	100 %

End of Q3'21 balance sheet rate 1 EUR = 1.16 USD, end of Q3'20 balance sheet rate 1 EUR = 1.17 USD and end of Q2'21 balance sheet rate 1 EUR = 1.19 USD
New and amended standards and
interpretations
The amendments to IFRS standards that became effective on 1 January 2021, did not have a material impact on Nokia's consolidated financial statements. New standards and amendments 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.

SEGMENT INFORMATION |
| --- |
| Nokia
has four operating and reportable segments for the financial reporting purposes: (1) Mobile Networks, (2) Network Infrastructure,
(3) Cloud and Network Services and (4) Nokia Technologies. Segment-level information for Group Common and Other is also presented. In addition, Nokia provides net sales disclosure for the following businesses within the Network Infrastructure segment: (i) IP Networks,
(ii) Optical Networks, (iii) Fixed Networks and (iv) Submarine Networks. Nokia adopted its current operational and reporting structure on 1 January 2021. The reporting structure was revised to reflect Nokia’s
new strategy and operational model which is aligned with the way the management evaluates the operational performance of Nokia and
allocates resources. Previously Nokia had three reportable segments: (1) Networks, (2) Nokia Software and (3) Nokia Technologies.
Furthermore, Networks reportable segment consisted of four aggregated operating segments: (1) Mobile Networks, (2) Global Services,
(3) Fixed Networks and (4) IP/Optical Networks. The most significant changes to the operational and reporting structure are the reclassifications
of the following product areas: • Network management was reclassified from Nokia Software to Mobile Networks • Submarine Networks was reclassified from Group Common and Other to Network Infrastructure • Packet Core was reclassified from IP/Optical Networks to Cloud and Network Services • Managed Services, Network Cognitive Services and Enterprise Solution Services were reclassified from Global Services to Cloud
and Network Services • Digital Automation and Analytics & IoT was reclassified from Group Common and Other to Cloud and Network Services Segment information for 2020 has been recast for comparability purposes according to the new operating and reporting structure. The President and CEO is the chief operating decision-maker and monitors the operating results of segments for the purpose of assessing
performance and making decisions about resource allocation. Key financial performance measures of the segments include primarily
net sales and operating profit. The evaluation of segment performance and allocation of resources is primarily based on comparable
operating profit which the management believes is the most relevant measure for this purpose. Comparable operating profit excludes
intangible asset amortization and other purchase price fair value adjustments, goodwill impairments, restructuring related charges
and certain other items affecting comparability. Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2, Significant accounting policies in the consolidated
financial statements for 2020, except that items affecting comparability are excluded from the measurement of comparable measures.
For more information on comparable measures, refer to Notes 1, Basis of preparation and 10, Performance Measures. Inter-segment revenues
and transfers are accounted for as if the revenues were to third parties, that is, at current market prices. |
| Mobile Networks The
Mobile Networks operating segment offers technologies for Radio Access Networks (RAN) as well as Microwave Radio Links (MWR) for transport
networks. RAN includes 3GPP radio technologies ranging from 2G/GSM to 5G/NR in licensed and unlicensed spectrum for both macro and small
cell deployments. In addition to RAN and MWR products, the Mobile Networks operating segment provides associated network management solutions
as well as network planning, network optimization, network deployment and technical support services. Network
Infrastructure The
Network Infrastructure operating segment serves communication service providers, enterprises, webscales and public sector customers.
It comprises the following businesses: (i) Optical Networks, which provides optical transport networks for metro, regional, longhaul
and ultra-longhaul applications; (ii) IP Networks, which provides IP networks and services for residential, mobile, enterprise and cloud
applications; (iii) Fixed Networks, which provides fiber, fixed wireless access, and copper technologies; and (iv) Submarine Networks,
which offers undersea cable transmission. Cloud and Network Services The
Cloud and Network Services operating segment is built around software and the cloud and is focused on driving leadership in cloud-native
software and as-a-service deliver models, as demand for critical networks accelerates; and with strong market positions in communications
software, private wireless networks, and cognitive (or intelligent) services. The Cloud and Network Services portfolio encompasses core
networks, including both voice and packet core; business applications covering areas like security and digital operations; cloud and
cognitive services; and enterprise solutions covering private wireless and industrial automation. 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 the 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 patent portfolio is recorded in Nokia Technologies, while each segment separately records its own research
and development expenses. Group Common and Other Group Common and Other includes Radio Frequency Systems which is managed
as a separate entity. In addition, Group Common and Other includes Nokia Bell Labs’ operating expenses, certain corporate-level
and centrally managed operating expenses, as well as fair value gains and losses on investments in unlisted venture funds, including
investments managed by NGP Capital. |

PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

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 other post-employment benefit plans, providing retirement healthcare benefits and life insurance coverage. 95% of Nokia’s defined benefit obligation and 98% of plan assets fair values were remeasured as of 30 September 2021. 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 US 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. As of 30 September 2021, the weighted average discount rates used in remeasurement of the most significant plans were as follows (comparatives as of 31 December 2020): U.S. Pension 2.34% (1.94 %), U.S. Opeb 2.39% (1.97%), Germany 0.84 % (0.35 %) and U.K. 1.97 % (1.26 %).

The funded status of Nokia’s defined benefit plans (before the effect of the asset ceiling) increased from EUR 3 620 million, or 116.0%, as of 30 June 2021 to EUR 4 184 million, or 118.5% as of 30 September 2021. During the quarter the global defined benefit plan asset portfolio was invested approximately 72% in fixed income, 7% in equities and 21% in other asset classes, mainly private equity and real estate. Market conditions for financial assets have continued to stabilize after COVID-19 related stress in 2020. Should there be another increase in financial market volatility, fair values of pension assets may fluctuate in future quarters.

1 The comparative amounts for defined benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets have been changed for each quarter in 2020 to reflect the timing of US benefit payments.

2 In the third quarter of 2021, Nokia modified the terms of its US defined benefit pension plans. As a result of the modification, Nokia recognized a reduction in the effect of the asset ceiling of EUR 1 396 million.

DEFERRED TAXES

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences can be utilized in the relevant jurisdictions. As of 30 September 2021, Nokia has recognized deferred tax assets of EUR 1.0 billion (EUR 1.8 billion as of 31 December 2020).

In addition, as of 30 September 2021, Nokia has unrecognized deferred tax assets of approximately EUR 8 billion (EUR 8 billion as of 31 December 2020), the majority of which relate to France (approximately EUR 4 billion) and Finland (approximately EUR 3 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. The majority of Finnish unrecognized deferred tax assets are not subject to expiry and are available against future Finnish tax liabilities.

Nokia continually evaluates the probability of utilizing its deferred tax assets and considers both favorable and unfavorable factors in its assessment.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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, in the consolidated financial statements for 2020. Items carried at fair value in the following table are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Lease liabilities are not included in the fair value of financial instruments.

Level 3 Financial assets include a large number of investments in unlisted equities and unlisted venture funds, including investments managed by NGP Capital specializing in growth-stage investing. The fair value of level 3 investments is determined using one or more valuation techniques with unobservable inputs, where the use of the market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach generally consists of calculating the net present value of expected future cash flows.

Level 3 Financial liabilities include a conditional obligation to China Huaxin related to Nokia Shanghai Bell.

Reconciliation of the opening and closing balances on level 3 financial assets and liabilities:

EUR million — Balance as of 31 December 2020	727		(439	)
Net gains/(losses) in income statement	106		(80	)

The gains and losses from venture fund and similar investments categorized in level 3 are included in other operating income and expenses. The gains and losses from other level 3 financial assets and liabilities are recorded in financial income and expenses. A net gain of EUR 37 million (net gain of EUR 102 million in 2020) related to level 3 financial instruments held at 30 September 2021, was included in the profit and loss during 2021.

Intellectual property rights litigations

| In
2019 and 2020, Nokia filed patent infringement lawsuits against Lenovo in four countries, including United States, regarding 19 Nokia
patents used in Lenovo’s products. Lenovo responded with counterclaims and nullity proceedings, and in 2020, Lenovo filed an
action in the United States against Nokia alleging breach of RAND obligations and other claims. In the first quarter of 2021, Nokia
concluded a multi-year, multi-technology patent cross-license agreement with Lenovo. The agreement resolves all pending patent litigation
and other proceedings between the two parties, in all jurisdictions. Under the agreement, Lenovo will make a net balancing payment
to Nokia. |
| --- |
| In
2019, Nokia commenced patent infringement proceedings against Daimler in Germany regarding ten Nokia patents relevant to the 3G and
4G cellular standards used in Daimler’s connected cars. In 2020, one of the cases was referred to the Court of Justice of the
European Union on questions relating to standard essential patent litigation. In the second quarter of 2021, Nokia and Daimler announced
that they have signed a patent licensing agreement under which Nokia licenses mobile telecommunications technology to Daimler and
receives payment in return. The parties have agreed to settle all pending litigation between Daimler and Nokia, including the complaint
by Daimler against Nokia to the European Commission. Invalidation actions brought by Daimler’s suppliers and their respective
complaints to the European Commission regarding Nokia’s licensing practice continue. |

In the third quarter of 2021, Nokia commenced patent infringement proceedings against Oppo, OnePlus and Realme in Asia and Europe. Across actions in eight countries, more than 30 patents are in suit, covering a mix of cellular standards and technologies such as connectivity, user interface and security. Oppo responded by filing 15 invalidation actions in China and two in the Netherlands, as well as five patent infringement actions against Nokia equipment in Germany and China. Oppo also filed two actions in China against Nokia alleging breach of FRAND and requesting the court to set a FRAND rate.

| 10. PERFORMANCE
MEASURES | | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Certain
financial measures presented in this interim report are not measures of financial performance,
financial position or cash flows defined in IFRS, and therefore may not be directly comparable
with financial measures used by other companies, including those in the same industry. The
primary rationale for presenting these measures is that the management uses these measures
in assessing the financial performance of Nokia and believes that these measures provide
meaningful supplemental information on the underlying business performance. These financial
measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information
presented in compliance with IFRS. The following tables provide summarized information
on the performance measures included in this interim report as well as reconciliations of
the performance measures to the amounts presented in the financial statements. | | |
| Performance
measure | Definition | Purpose |
| Comparable
measures | Comparable
measures exclude intangible asset amortization and other purchase price fair value adjustments, goodwill impairments, restructuring
related charges and certain other items affecting comparability. Reconciliation of reported and comparable consolidated statement
of income is presented below. | We
believe that our comparable results provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokia’s
underlying business performance by excluding certain items of income and expenses that may not be indicative of Nokia’s business
operating results. Comparable operating profit is used also in determining management remuneration. |
| Constant
currency net sales / Net sales adjusted for currency fluctuations | When
net sales are reported on a constant currency basis / adjusted for currency fluctuations, 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 net sales / net sales adjusted for currency fluctuations exclude the impact of changes in
exchange rates during the current period in comparison to euro. | We
provide additional information on net sales on a constant currency basis / adjusted for currency fluctuations in order to better
reflect the underlying business performance. |
| Comparable
return on invested capital (ROIC) | Comparable
operating profit after tax, last four quarters / Invested capital, average of last five quarters’ ending balances. Calculation
of comparable return on invested capital is presented below. | Comparable
return on invested capital is used to measure how efficiently Nokia uses its capital to generate profits from its operations. |
| Comparable
operating profit after tax | Comparable
operating profit - (comparable operating profit x comparable income tax expense / comparable profit before tax) | Comparable
operating profit after tax indicates the profitability of Nokia's underlying business operations after deducting the income tax impact.
We use comparable operating profit after tax to calculate comparable return on invested capital. |
| Invested
capital | Total
equity + total interest-bearing liabilities - total cash and current financial investments | Invested
capital indicates the book value of capital raised from equity and debt instrument holders less cash and liquid assets held by Nokia.
We use invested capital to calculate comparable return on invested capital. |
| Total
cash and current financial investments ("Total cash") | 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. |
| Net
cash and current financial investments ("Net cash") | Net
cash and current financial investments equals total cash and current financial investments less long-term and short-term interest-bearing
liabilities. Lease liabilities are not included in interest-bearing liabilities. Reconciliation of net cash and current financial
investments to the amounts in the consolidated statement of financial position is presented below. | Net
cash and current financial investments is used to indicate Nokia's liquidity position after cash required to settle the interest-bearing
liabilities. |
| Free
cash flow | Net
cash from/(used in) 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. Reconciliation of free cash flow to the amounts in the consolidated statement
of cash flows is presented below. | 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/One-time
measures | Recurring
measures, such as recurring net sales, are based on revenues that are likely to continue in the future. Recurring measures exclude
e.g. the impact of catch-up net sales relating to prior periods. One-time measures, such as one-time net sales, reflect the revenues
that are not likely to continue in the future. | We use
recurring/one-time measures to improve comparability between financial periods. |
| 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) | Adjusted
profit/(loss) equals the cash from operations before changes in net working capital subtotal in the consolidated statement of cash
flows. | We
use adjusted profit/(loss) to provide a structured presentation when describing the cash flows. |
| Recurring
annual cost savings | Reduction
in cost of sales and operating expenses resulting from the cost savings program and the impact of which is considered recurring in
nature. | We
use recurring annual cost savings measure to monitor the progress of our cost savings program established after the Alcatel-Lucent
transaction against plan. |
| Restructuring
and associated charges, liabilities and cash outflows | 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. |
