FINANCIAL AND OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS

�

Third quarter 2014 highlights:

�

� Non-IFRS diluted EPS in Q3 2014 of EUR 0.09 (EUR 0.06 in Q3 2013); reported diluted EPS of EUR 0.19 (EUR 0.04 in Q3 2013)

� Net sales in Q3 2014 of EUR 3.3 billion (EUR 2.9 billion in Q3 2013)

�

Nokia Networks

�

� Nokia Networks achieved 13% year-on-year growth in net sales, from EUR 2.6 billion in Q3 2013 to EUR 2.9 billion in Q3 2014.

� In Q3 2014, Nokia Networks achieved strong underlying operating profitability with non-IFRS operating profit of EUR 397 million, or 13.5% of net sales, compared to EUR 217 million, or 8.4% of net sales, in Q3 2013.

� The strong net sales and profitability improvement of Nokia Networks on a year-on-year basis was primarily due to major new LTE network deployments in North America and Greater China, which benefitted Mobile Broadband.

�

HERE

�

� HERE achieved 12% year-on-year growth in net sales, from EUR 211 million in Q3 2013 to EUR 236 million in Q3 2014.

� In Q3 2014, HERE sold map data licenses for the embedded navigation systems of 3.2 million new vehicles globally, compared to 2.6 million vehicles in Q3 2013.

�

Nokia Technologies

�

� Nokia Technologies achieved 9% year-on-year growth in net sales, from EUR 140 million in Q3 2013 to EUR 152 million in Q3 2014, primarily due to Microsoft becoming a more significant intellectual property licensee.

Commenting on the third quarter results on a year-on-year basis, Rajeev Suri, Nokia President and CEO, said:

�

Nokia�s third quarter results demonstrate our strong position in a world where technology is undergoing significant change. We saw growth in all three of our businesses; non-IFRS earnings per share was up 50%; and we moved forward with our capital structure optimization program, returning cash to shareholders.

�

Performance at Nokia Networks was particularly satisfying, with both growth and improved profitability. Progress was widespread, with four of our six regions increasing sales; Mobile Broadband sales and profitability were up sharply; Global Services delivered its sixth consecutive quarter of double digit profitability; and I was pleased to see a rebound in Europe driven by our robust deal momentum. That said, I also want to be clear that Networks benefited from some unique developments in the quarter, with a business mix weighted towards Mobile Broadband and regional mix that included strong gains in North America.

�

HERE also delivered a double digit sales increase in the quarter. We are sharpening HERE�s strategy in order to better balance growth and profitability while ensuring relentless focus on priority segments such as automotive. I am confident that this strategy, combined with a new focus on efficiency gains, positions HERE well for the future.

�

Nokia Technologies continued to invest in the innovation and business infrastructure necessary to enable future growth and renewal of our strong patent portfolio. This work, as well as our current licensing activities, will take time to come to fruition, but I believe that we are moving rapidly in the right direction.

�

Third quarter 2014 material special items:

�

� In Q3 2014, we recorded a charge to operating profit of EUR 1.2 billion for the impairment of HERE goodwill. The impairment charge is based on our estimate that the recoverable amount of HERE is now EUR 2.0 billion. During Q3 2014, we also recognized a non-cash tax expense of EUR 0.3 billion due to valuation allowances related to HERE�s Dutch deferred tax assets.

� At the end of Q3 2014, due to improved operating performance, Nokia recognized EUR 2.1 billion of deferred tax assets from the reassessment of recoverability of deferred tax assets related to Finland and Germany, of which EUR 2.0 billion was recorded as a non-cash tax benefit in Q3 2014 reported tax expenses.

�

�

Balance sheet highlights:

�

� Nokia ended Q3 2014 with a strong balance sheet and solid cash position with gross cash of EUR 7.6 billion and net cash of EUR 5.0 billion compared to EUR 9.0 billion and EUR 6.5 billion, respectively, at the end of Q2 2014.

� In Q3 2014, Nokia paid a special dividend of EUR 966 million (EUR 0.26 per share) and an ordinary dividend of EUR 408 million (EUR 0.11 per share). In Q3 2014, Nokia also commenced the share repurchases under its capital structure optimization program and used EUR 220 million for such share repurchases.

� The sequential decline in Nokia�s gross and net cash balances was primarily due to the payments of special and ordinary dividends during Q3 2014 and the commencement of share repurchasing. In addition, the sequential decline in Nokia�s cash position was driven by cash outflows related to acquisitions completed during the quarter, amounting to EUR 159 million, partially offset by positive cash flow from operations of EUR 399 million.

�

January-September 2014 highlights:

�

Nokia�s continuing operations net sales in January-September 2014 were EUR 8.9 billion

�

� Nokia�s continuing operations net sales for the nine months ended September 2014 decreased 3% year-on-year.

� Reported diluted EPS for the nine months ended September 2014 was EUR 0.21, compared to EUR 0.00 in the nine months ended September 2013.

SUMMARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

�

�

Note 1 relating to results information and non-IFRS (also referred to as �underlying�) results: The results information in this report is unaudited. Percentages and figures presented herein may include

�

4

�

rounding differences and therefore may not add up precisely to the totals presented and may vary from previously published financial information. In addition to information on our reported IFRS results, we provide certain information on a non-IFRS, or underlying business performance, basis. Non-IFRS results exclude all material special items for all periods. In addition, non-IFRS results exclude intangible asset amortization and other purchase price accounting related items arising from business acquisitions. Nokia believes that our non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokia�s underlying business performance by excluding the above-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. More information, including a reconciliation of our Q3 2014 and Q3 2013 non-IFRS results to our reported results, can be found in our complete Q3 2014 report with tables on pages 22-27. A reconciliation of our Q2 2014 non-IFRS results to our reported results can be found in our complete Q2 2014 interim report with tables on pages 22-27 published on July 24, 2014.

NOKIA�S OUTLOOK

�

� Nokia now expects Nokia Networks� non-IFRS operating margin for the full year 2014 to be slightly above 11%. This compares to Nokia�s previous outlook for Nokia Networks� non-IFRS operating margin for the full year 2014 to be at or slightly above the higher end of Nokia Networks� targeted long-term non-IFRS operating margin range of 5% to 10%. In addition, Nokia continues to expect Nokia Networks� net sales to grow on a year-on-year basis in the second half 2014. This outlook is based on Nokia�s financial performance in the first nine months of 2014, as well as Nokia�s expectations regarding a number of factors, including:

�

� competitive industry dynamics;

� a sequentially higher proportion of Global Services net sales in the fourth quarter of 2014, following an elevated proportion of Mobile Broadband net sales in the third quarter of 2014, which was primarily due to major new network deployments;

� regional mix; and

� expected continued operational improvement.

�

� During 2014, Nokia continues to expect HERE to invest to capture longer-term transformational growth opportunities while taking steps to increase our focus on our automotive and enterprise businesses. Nokia continues to expect these investments to negatively affect HERE�s 2014 non-IFRS operating margin.

� Nokia expects Nokia Technologies� annualized net sales to continue at a run rate of approximately EUR 600 million during 2014.

� Nokia currently expects financial income and expenses, including net interest expenses and the impact from changes in foreign exchange rates on certain balance sheet items, to amount to an expense of

�

5

�

approximately EUR 40 million on a quarterly basis, subject to changes in foreign exchange rates and the level of interest bearing liabilities.

� Nokia now expects full year 2014 capital expenditures for continuing operations to be approximately EUR 250 million, primarily attributable to capital expenditures by Nokia Networks. This compares to Nokia�s previous outlook for full year 2014 capital expenditures for continuing operations of approximately EUR 200 million. The increase in expected capital expenditures for continuing operations for the full year 2014 is primarily due to additional operational investments, including capacity enhancements, in Nokia Networks.

� On a non-IFRS basis, after having recognized the deferred tax assets related to our operations in Finland and Germany in third quarter 2014, Nokia now expects to record tax expenses at a long-term effective tax rate of approximately 25%. However, Nokia�s cash tax obligations are expected to continue to be approximately EUR 250 million annually until Nokia�s deferred tax assets have been fully utilized. The cash tax amount may vary depending on profit levels in different jurisdictions and the amount of license income potentially subject to withholding tax.

Note 3 relating to operational and reporting structure: We have three businesses: Nokia Networks, HERE, and Nokia Technologies, and four operating and reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Mobile Broadband and Global Services within Nokia Networks, HERE, and Nokia Technologies. We also present certain segment data for discontinued operations. Below is a description of our four reportable segments. Mobile Broadband provides mobile operators with radio and core network software together with the hardware needed to deliver mobile voice and data services. Global Services provides mobile operators with a broad range of services, including network implementation, care, managed services, network planning and optimization as well as systems integration. HERE focuses on the development of location intelligence, location-based services and local commerce. Nokia Technologies is built on Nokia�s intellectual property rights and brand and related licensing activities. Nokia Networks also contains Nokia Networks Other, which includes net sales and related cost of sales and operating expenses of non-core businesses,�IPR net sales and related costs, as well as Optical Nokia Networks business until May�6, 2013, when its divestment was completed. It also includes restructuring and associated charges for Nokia Networks business. Additionally, as a result of the transaction announced on September�3, 2013 where Nokia sold substantially all of Nokia�s Devices�& Services business to Microsoft on April�25, 2014 (�Sale of the D&S Business�), we report certain separate information for discontinued operations. As the Sale of the D&S Business closed on April�25, 2014, i.e. shortly after the end of the first quarter 2014, the financial results of the discontinued operations after the transaction are not comparable to the financial results of the discontinued operations in previous periods. On August�7, 2013 Nokia completed the acquisition of Siemens� stake in Nokia Siemens Networks, which was a joint venture between Nokia and Siemens and renamed the company Nokia Solutions and Networks, also referred to as NSN. NSN was consolidated by Nokia prior to this transaction. After the closing of the Sale of the D&S Business, NSN was renamed Nokia Networks. Beginning in the third quarter of 2013, Nokia has reported financial information for the two operating and reportable segments within Nokia Networks; Mobile Broadband and Global Services. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, the Devices�& Services business has been

�

�

reported as discontinued operations. To reflect these changes, historical results information for past periods has been regrouped for historical comparative purposes. As is customary, certain judgments have been made when regrouping historical results information and allocating items in the regrouped results. When presenting financial information and comparative information for previous periods, we generally refer to the names of the businesses and reportable segments as they are named currently.

�

Note 4 relating to net cash from operating activities: No comparative data available for quarterly information in 2013.

�

Note 5 relating to Nokia net cash and other liquid assets: Calculated as total cash and other liquid assets less interest-bearing liabilities. For selected information on Nokia Group interest-bearing liabilities, please see the table on page�41.

�

NOKIA�S OUTLOOK

�

������������������ Nokia now expects Nokia Networks� non-IFRS operating margin for the full year 2014 to be slightly above 11%. This compares to Nokia�s previous outlook for Nokia Networks� non-IFRS operating margin for the full year 2014 to be at or slightly above the higher end of Nokia Networks� targeted long-term non-IFRS operating margin range of 5% to 10%. In addition, Nokia continues to expect Nokia Networks� net sales to grow on a year-on-year basis in the second half 2014. This outlook is based on Nokia�s financial performance in the first nine months of 2014, as well as Nokia�s expectations regarding a number of factors, including:

������������������ competitive industry dynamics;

������������������ a sequentially higher proportion of Global Services net sales in the fourth quarter of 2014, following an elevated proportion of Mobile Broadband net sales in the third quarter of 2014, which was primarily due to major new network deployments;

������������������ regional mix; and

������������������ expected continued operational improvement.

������������������ During 2014, Nokia continues to expect HERE to invest to capture longer-term transformational growth opportunities while taking steps to increase our focus on our automotive and enterprise businesses. Nokia continues to expect these investments to negatively affect HERE�s 2014 non-IFRS operating margin.

������������������ Nokia expects Nokia Technologies� annualized net sales to continue at a run rate of approximately EUR 600 million during 2014.

������������������ Nokia currently expects financial income and expenses, including net interest expenses and the impact from changes in foreign exchange rates on certain balance sheet items, to amount to an expense of approximately EUR 40 million on a quarterly basis, subject to changes in foreign exchange rates and the level of interest bearing liabilities.

������������������ Nokia now expects full year 2014 capital expenditures for continuing operations to be approximately EUR 250 million, primarily attributable to capital expenditures by Nokia Networks. This compares to Nokia�s previous outlook for full year 2014 capital expenditures for continuing operations of approximately EUR 200 million. The increase in expected capital expenditures for continuing operations for the full year 2014 is primarily due to additional operational investments, including capacity enhancements, in Nokia Networks.

������������������ On a non-IFRS basis, after having recognized the deferred tax assets related to our operations in Finland and Germany in third quarter 2014, Nokia now expects to record tax expenses at a long-term effective tax rate of approximately 25%. However, Nokia�s cash tax obligations are expected to continue to be approximately EUR 250 million annually until Nokia�s deferred tax assets have been fully utilized. The cash tax amount may vary depending on profit levels in different jurisdictions and the amount of license income potentially subject to withholding tax.

THIRD QUARTER 2014 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING DISCUSSION

�

NOKIA�S CONTINUING OPERATIONS

�

See note 3 to our Summary Financial Information table above concerning our current operational and reporting structure. The following discussion includes information on a non-IFRS, or underlying business performance, basis. See notes 1, 2 and 3 to our Summary Financial Information table above for information about our underlying non-IFRS results and the non-IFRS exclusions for the periods discussed below.

�

Net sales

�

The following table sets forth the year-on-year and sequential growth rates in our net sales on a reported basis and at constant currency for the periods indicated.

�

�

�

THIRD QUARTER 2014 NET SALES, REPORTED�& CONSTANT CURRENCY(1)

�

�

Note 1: Change in net sales at constant currency excludes the impact of changes in exchange rates in comparison to the Euro, our reporting currency.

�

Nokia�s continuing operations net sales increased 13% both year-on-year and sequentially. At constant currency, Nokia�s continuing operations net sales would have increased 15% year-on-year and increased 11% sequentially.

�

The year-on-year increase in Nokia�s continuing operations net sales in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to higher net sales in Nokia Networks and, to a lesser extent, higher net sales in HERE and Nokia Technologies. The year-on-year increase in Nokia Networks� net sales in the third quarter 2014 was primarily driven by higher net sales in Mobile Broadband, partially offset by a decrease in net sales in Global Services. The year-on-year increase in HERE net sales was primarily due to higher sales to vehicle customers, as well as Microsoft becoming a more significant licensee of HERE�s services for a full quarter in the third quarter 2014.

�

The sequential increase in Nokia�s continuing operations net sales in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to higher net sales in Nokia Networks and, to a lesser extent, higher net sales in Nokia Technologies and HERE. The sequential increase in net sales for Nokia Networks in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to increases in net sales from both Mobile Broadband and Global Services.

�

Non-IFRS Gross Margin

�

Nokia�s continuing operations non-IFRS gross margin in the third quarter 2014 increased from 42.9% to 44.5% on a year-on-year basis, primarily driven by the increase in non-IFRS gross margin in Networks, partially offset by a decrease in non-IFRS gross margin in HERE. The year-on-year increase in Nokia Networks� non-IFRS gross margin in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to a higher proportion of Mobile Broadband in the overall sales mix, as well as an increase in non-IFRS gross margin for Mobile Broadband.

�

Nokia�s continuing operations non-IFRS gross margin in the third quarter 2014 increased sequentially to 44.5%, compared to 44.0% in the second quarter 2014. The sequential increase in Nokia�s continuing operations non-IFRS gross margin in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to a higher non-IFRS gross margin in Nokia Networks. The sequential increase in Nokia Networks non-IFRS gross margin in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to a higher proportion of Mobile Broadband in the overall sales mix, as well as an increase in non-IFRS gross margin in Mobile Broadband, partially offset by a lower non-IFRS gross margin in Global Services.

�

Non-IFRS Operating expenses

�

Nokia�s continuing operations non-IFRS research and development expenses increased year-on-year in the third quarter 2014 primarily due to an increase in non-IFRS research and development expenses in HERE.

�

Nokia�s continuing operations non-IFRS research and development expenses increased sequentially in the third quarter 2014 primarily due to an increase in non-IFRS research and development expenses in Nokia Networks and, to a lesser extent, in HERE.

�

Nokia�s continuing operations non-IFRS selling, general and administrative expenses increased year-on-year in the third quarter 2014, primarily due to increases in Nokia Networks and Group Common Functions.

�

In the third quarter 2014, Nokia�s continuing operations non-IFRS selling, general and administrative expenses increased sequentially, primarily due to increases in Nokia Networks.

�

Non-IFRS Operating profit

�

Nokia�s continuing operations non-IFRS operating profit increased year-on-year in the third quarter 2014 primarily due to increases in non-IFRS operating profit for Nokia Networks and to a lesser extent Nokia Technologies, partially offset by a decrease in non-IFRS operating profit for Group Common Functions and HERE.

�

5

�

Nokia�s continuing operations non-IFRS operating profit increased sequentially in the third quarter 2014 primarily due to an increase in non-IFRS operating profit for Nokia Networks, partially offset by a decrease in Group Common Functions.

�

Nokia�s non-IFRS other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 16 million in the third quarter 2014, compared to an income of EUR 48 million in the third quarter 2013 and an expense of EUR 9 million in the second quarter 2014. On a year-on-year basis, Nokia�s continuing operations non-IFRS other income and expenses was negatively affected by the absence of a distribution from an unlisted venture fund related to the disposal of the fund�s investment in Waze Ltd that benefitted Group Common Functions in the third quarter 2013, as well as other expenses in Nokia Networks. On a sequential basis, Nokia�s continuing operations non-IFRS other income and expenses was negatively affected primarily by higher other expenses in Group Common Functions, primarily due to venture fund related losses in the third quarter of 2014.

�

Operating profit

�

Nokia�s continuing operations reported an operating loss in the third quarter 2014 as a result of the EUR 1.2 billion goodwill impairment charge related to HERE.

�

In the third quarter 2014, we conducted an impairment assessment of the goodwill related to our HERE business as a result of an adjustment to the HERE strategy and the related new long-range plan. We concluded that these factors resulted in a triggering event requiring an interim impairment test to assess if events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of our goodwill may not be recoverable. As a result of the impairment test, we recorded a charge to operating profit of EUR 1 209 million for the impairment of goodwill. The impairment charge is based on our estimate that the recoverable amount of HERE is now EUR 2.0 billion. After the impairment charge, the carrying amount of goodwill for HERE is EUR 2.3 billion. The impairment negatively impacted our reported diluted EPS by EUR 0.30.

�

The impairment charge is the result of an evaluation of the projected financial performance of our HERE business. This takes into consideration the clearly slower ramp-up of net sales related to direct to consumer monetization than earlier expected and our plans to curtail our investment in certain higher-risk and longer-term growth opportunities. It also reflects the current assessment of risks related to the growth opportunities that we plan to continue pursuing, as well as related terminal value growth assumptions. After consideration of all relevant factors, we reduced the net sales projections for HERE, particularly in the latter years of the valuation which, in turn, reduced projected profitability and cash flows. Additionally, changes in foreign exchange rates increased the carrying amount of goodwill in euros which in turn increased the amount of the impairment.

�

We believe HERE will continue to be a leading location services business. We plan to continue to build on our strength in the automotive segment, to expand our enterprise business, and extend our reach to consumers through deals with mobile device vendors such as Samsung and internet players such as Yahoo. Thus, we continue to believe we have an opportunity to create significant value with the HERE business, as connected cars become more pervasive and as enterprises deploy new location-services to improve their productivity and efficiency.

�

Excluding the impairment charge, the operating profit decreased on a year-on-year basis primarily due to a decrease in operating profit for Group Common Functions and HERE, partially offset by an increase in operating profit for Nokia Networks and, to a lesser extent, Nokia Technologies.

�

Sequentially, in the third quarter 2014, Nokia�s continuing operations operating profit excluding the goodwill impairment charge related to HERE increased primarily due an increase in operating profit for Nokia Networks.

�

Nokia�s continuing operations other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 48 million in the third quarter 2014, compared to an expense of EUR 18 million in the third quarter 2013 and an expense of EUR 42 million in the second quarter 2014. During the third quarter of 2014, Nokia Networks recorded a charge of EUR 31 million for anticipated contractual remediation costs related to a technical issue with a third party component which was included in certain products sold several years ago.

�

Financial income and expenses

�

In the third quarter 2014, Nokia�s continuing operations financial income and expenses was a net expense of EUR 22 million, compared to a net expense of EUR 63 million in the third quarter 2013 and a net expense of EUR 261 million in the second quarter 2014. On a year-on-year basis, the decrease in net expense was mainly due to lower interest expenses. On a sequential basis, the decrease in net expense was primarily due to EUR 123 million of one-time expenses related to the redemption of materially all of Nokia Networks� borrowings and a EUR 57 million accounting charge related to the repayment of EUR 1.5 billion convertible bonds issued to Microsoft in the second quarter 2014.

�

6

�

On a non-IFRS basis, Nokia�s continuing operations financial income and expenses was a net expense of EUR 22 million in the third quarter compared to a net expense of EUR 63 million in the third quarter 2013 and a net expense of EUR 81 million in the second quarter 2014. On a year-on-year basis, the decrease in net expense was mainly due to lower interest expenses. On a sequential basis, the decrease in net expense was driven by lower foreign exchange-related losses and lower interest expenses.

�

Taxes

�

At the end of the third quarter 2014, Nokia recognized a EUR 2.1 billion deferred tax asset from the reassessment of recoverability of tax assets related to Finland and Germany. This resulted in a EUR 2.0 billion non-cash tax benefit reported in tax expenses in the third quarter 2014. Based on recent profitability and latest forecasts, Nokia has been able to re-establish a pattern of sufficient tax profitability in Finland and Germany to utilize the cumulative losses, foreign tax credits and other temporary differences. A significant portion of Nokia�s Finnish and German deferred tax assets are indefinite in nature and available against future Finnish and German tax liabilities.

�

In the third quarter 2014, Nokia recognized net EUR 325 million in valuation allowances mainly related to HERE�s Dutch deferred tax assets. During the third quarter 2014, HERE�s Dutch taxable results over the past three years moved from a cumulative profit position to a cumulative loss position. When an entity has a history of recent losses in a taxable jurisdiction, the entity recognizes a deferred tax asset arising from unused losses or tax credits only to the extent the entity has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient tax profit will be available against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilized in the future. Favorable evidence of future taxable profits may be assigned lesser weight in assessing the appropriateness of recording a deferred tax asset when there is other unfavorable evidence such as cumulative losses, which are considered strong evidence that future taxable profits may not be available.

�

Cash and cash flow

�

The following table sets forth the financial position of Nokia�s continuing operations at the end of the periods indicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequential growth rates.

�

NOKIA�S CONTINUING OPERATIONS FINANCIAL POSITION

�

�

Note 1: Total cash and other liquid assets minus interest-bearing liabilities.

�

In the third quarter 2014, Nokia�s total cash and other liquid assets decreased by EUR 1 380 million and Nokia�s net cash and other liquid assets decreased by EUR 1 472 million, compared to the second quarter 2014. The sequential decline in both Nokia�s total and net cash and other liquid assets in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to cash outflows from financing activities and, to a lesser extent, cash outflows from investing activities, which more than offset cash inflows from operating activities. Foreign exchange rates had an approximately EUR 40 million positive impact on the translation of gross cash and approximately EUR 20 million negative impact on net cash.

�

In the third quarter 2014, cash outflows from financing activities primarily related to the payments of special and ordinary dividends, as well the commencement of Nokia�s share repurchasing program during the third quarter 2014 which totaled EUR 1 374 million and EUR 220 million respectively.

�

In the third quarter 2014, cash outflows from investing activities impacting net cash and other liquid assets primarily related to the acquisitions of SAC Wireless and Medio, which totaled EUR 159 million as well as approximately EUR 60 million related to capital expenditures.

�

In the third quarter 2014, Nokia�s net cash from operations was EUR 399 million. Nokia�s adjusted net profit was EUR 548 million in the third quarter 2014, primarily driven by the strong performance at Nokia Networks.

�

Nokia�s continuing operations had approximately EUR 60 million of restructuring-related cash outflows in the third quarter 2014. Excluding this, Nokia�s continuing operations had cash inflows of approximately EUR 80 million related to net working capital. This was primarily due to cash inflows from net working capital from Nokia Networks and HERE, which more than offset negative net working capital development at Nokia Technologies. The cash inflows from net working capital at Nokia Networks were primarily due to an increase in customer prepayments that more than offset an increase in inventories. The negative net working capital development at Nokia Technologies was primarily due to decreases in deferred revenues. In addition, Nokia�s continuing operations had cash outflows

�

7

�

of approximately EUR 80 million related to net financial income and expenses and approximately EUR 70 million related to taxes.

�

NOKIA NETWORKS

The following table sets forth a summary of the results for Nokia Networks and its reportable segments, Mobile Broadband and Global Services, for the periods indicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequential growth rates.

�

NOKIA NETWORKS RESULTS SUMMARY

�

�

Net Sales

�

The following table sets forth Nokia Networks net sales for the periods indicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequential growth rates, by geographic area.

�

NOKIA NETWORKS NET SALES BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA

�

�

The year-on-year increase of 13% in Nokia Networks net sales in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to an increase in net sales in Mobile Broadband, partially offset by a decrease in net sales in Global Services.

�

At constant currency, Nokia Networks net sales would have increased 15% year-on-year and 12% sequentially.

�

Mobile Broadband net sales increased 33% year-on-year in the third quarter 2014 primarily due to strong net sales growth in LTE and core networks.

�

The year-on-year decrease of 5% in Global Services net sales in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to a reduction in network implementation activity, maintenance services and managed services.

�

On a regional basis, compared to the third quarter 2013, Nokia Networks net sales in North America increased 53% primarily due to a new LTE network deployment at a major customer. In Greater China, net sales increased 38% primarily due to the higher levels of LTE network deployments in both China and Taiwan. In Europe, net sales increased by 9% primarily due to network deployments in Eastern Europe. In Middle East and Africa, net sales increased by 14% primarily due to higher levels of network deployments in Northern Africa. In Asia Pacific, net sales decreased by 1% primarily due to lower network deployments in Japan, partially offset by higher network deployments in Korea and India. In Latin America, net sales decreased by 4% primarily due to lower network deployments in Brazil and Mexico.

�

The sequential increase of 15% in Nokia Networks net sales in the third quarter 2014 was due to increases in net sales from both Mobile Broadband and Global Services.

�

8

�

Mobile Broadband net sales increased 23% sequentially in the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to higher sales in radio technologies, in particular LTE, partially offset by lower net sales in core networks.

�

Global Services increased 7% sequentially in the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to an increase in network implementation activity.

�

On a regional basis, compared to the second quarter 2014, Nokia Networks net sales in North America increased 50% primarily due to a new LTE network deployment at a major customer. In Europe, net sales increased by 15% primarily due to modernization projects in Eastern Europe. In Greater China, net sales increased 25% primarily due to the higher levels of LTE network deployments in both China and Taiwan. In Latin America, net sales increased by 18% primarily due to higher network deployments in Mexico and Argentina. In Middle East and Africa, net sales increased by 17% primarily due to higher levels of network deployments in Northern Africa. In Asia Pacific, net sales decreased by 5% primarily due to lower network deployments in Japan, partially offset by higher network deployments in Korea and India.

�

In the third quarter 2014, Mobile Broadband represented 57% of Nokia Networks net sales, compared to 49% in the third quarter 2013 and 53% in the second quarter 2014. In the third quarter 2014, Global Services represented 43% of Nokia Networks net sales, compared to 51% in the third quarter 2013 and 46% in the second quarter 2014.

�

In the first and second quarter of 2014, Mobile Broadband net sales were adversely affected by shortages of certain components. During the third quarter of 2014, Mobile Broadband net sales were positively affected, as we were able to resolve the component shortages and fulfill the majority of previously affected orders.

�

Non-IFRS Gross Margin

�

On a year-on-year basis, Nokia Networks non-IFRS gross margin in the third quarter 2014 increased primarily due to a higher proportion of Mobile Broadband in the overall sales mix, as well as an increase in non-IFRS gross margin for Mobile Broadband.

�

The year-on-year increase in non-IFRS gross margin in Mobile Broadband in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to a more favorable mix of higher margin projects related to major network deployments, which were at an elevated level in the third quarter 2014, as well as the absence of costs incurred in anticipation of a technology shift to TD-LTE related to major projects in China, which negatively affected the non-IFRS gross margin of Mobile Broadband in the third quarter of 2013.

�

Global Services non-IFRS gross margin in the third quarter 2014 was approximately flat year-on-year.

�

On a sequential basis, the increase in Nokia Networks non-IFRS gross margin in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to a higher proportion of Mobile Broadband in the overall sales mix, as well as an increase in non-IFRS gross margin in Mobile Broadband, partially offset by a lower non-IFRS gross margin in Global Services.

�

The sequential increase in non-IFRS gross margin in Mobile Broadband in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to a more favorable mix of higher margin projects related to major new network deployments.

�

The sequential decrease in non-IFRS gross margin in Global Services in the third quarter was primarily due to a higher proportion of lower margin services, related to major new network deployment projects.

�

Non-IFRS Operating Expenses

�

Nokia Networks non-IFRS research and development expenses were approximately flat year-on-year in the third quarter 2014, primarily due to lower subcontracting costs which was largely offset by headcount increases mainly related to increasing in-house activities. Nokia Networks continues to invest in targeted growth areas, most notably LTE and small cells, while reducing investments in mature technologies. On a sequential basis, non-IFRS research and development expenses increased 8% primarily due to headcount increases mainly related to increasing in-house activities which were partially offset by a reduction in subcontracting costs.

�

On a year-on-year basis, Nokia Networks non-IFRS selling, general and administrative expenses increased 3% in the third quarter 2014 primarily due to brand-related investments. On a sequential basis, Nokia Networks non-IFRS selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter 2014 increased 8% primarily due to higher headcount and brand-related investments.

�

9

�

Non-IFRS Operating Profit

�

The year-on-year increase in Nokia Networks non-IFRS operating profit in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to the higher non-IFRS operating profit in Mobile Broadband, partially offset by the lower non-IFRS operating profit in Global Services. On a year-on-year basis, the increase in Mobile Broadband non-IFRS operating profit was primarily due to higher non-IFRS gross profit, primarily driven by higher net sales and to a lesser extent a higher gross margin. The year-on-year decrease in Global Services non-IFRS operating profit was primarily due to a lower non-IFRS gross profit, primarily driven by lower net sales.

�

The sequential increase in Nokia Networks non-IFRS operating profit in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to higher non-IFRS operating profit in Mobile Broadband, partially offset by a lower non-IFRS operating profit in Global Services. The improvement in Mobile Broadband non-IFRS operating profit on a sequential basis was primarily due to higher non-IFRS gross profit, partially offset by higher operating expenses. The decrease in Global Services non-IFRS operating profit on a sequential basis was primarily due to lower non-IFRS gross profit and higher operating expenses.

�

Nokia Networks�non-IFRS other�income and expenses was an expense of EUR 12 million in the third quarter 2014, compared to an income of EUR 1 million in the third quarter 2013 and an expense of EUR 9 million in the second quarter 2014.�The year-on-year change was primarily due to indirect tax expenses.�On a sequential basis, Nokia�Networks�non-IFRS other income and expenses was a higher expense primarily due to indirect tax expenses, partially offset by a reduction in doubtful account allowances in the third quarter 2014.

�

Global Restructuring Program (announced in November�2011)

�

During the third quarter 2014, Nokia Networks� restructuring related charges were approximately EUR 2 million and the related cash outflows were approximately EUR 60 million. At September�30, 2014, since the commencement of the global restructuring program, cumulative restructuring charges amounted to approximately EUR 1 900 million, and cumulative related cash outflows amounted to approximately EUR 1 500 million. We estimate total restructuring related charges and related cash outflows to be approximately EUR 1 950 million and EUR 1 750 million, respectively. Changes in estimates of timing or amounts of costs to be incurred and associated cash flows may become necessary as the transformation and restructuring program is being completed.

�

At the end of the third quarter 2014, Nokia Networks had approximately 52 000 employees, an increase of approximately 2 900 employees compared to the end of the third quarter 2013, and an increase of approximately 2 300 employees compared to the end of the second quarter 2014. On both a year-on-year and sequential basis, the headcount increases were primarily due to research and development related expansion of in-house activities and a build-up of capacity at selected sites.

The following table sets forth a summary of the results for HERE for the periods indicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequential growth rates.

�

HERE RESULTS SUMMARY

�

�

Net Sales

�

In the third quarter 2014, HERE net sales increased 12% year-on-year, primarily due to higher sales to vehicle customers and Microsoft becoming a more significant licensee of HERE�s services, partially offset by lower recognition of revenue related to smartphone sales by our former Devices�& Services business and lower sales to personal navigation device (PND) customers consistent with declines in the PND market.

�

In the third quarter 2014, HERE net sales were approximately flat on a sequential basis.

�

In the third quarter 2014, HERE had sales of new vehicle licenses of 3.2 million units, compared to 2.6 million units in the third quarter 2013 and 3.3 million units in the second quarter 2014. On a year-on-year basis, unit sales to vehicle customers increased primarily due to higher consumer uptake of in-vehicle navigation and higher

�

10

�

vehicle sales. On a sequential basis, unit sales to vehicle customers decreased primarily due to lower seasonal vehicle sales.

�

Sales to vehicle customers represented well over 50% of HERE net sales in the third quarter 2014, as well as in the third quarter 2013 and the second quarter 2014.

�

At constant currency HERE overall net sales would have increased 12% year-on-year and 1% sequentially.

�

Non-IFRS Gross Margin

�

On a year-on-year basis, the decrease in HERE non-IFRS gross margin in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to a change in the allocations of certain expenses that had been previously allocated to our former Devices�& Services Cost of Sales.

�

On a sequential basis, HERE non-IFRS gross margin in the third quarter 2014 was approximately flat.

�

Non-IFRS Operating Expenses

�

HERE non-IFRS research and development expenses increased 20% in the third quarter 2014 on a year-on-year basis and 5% on a sequential basis primarily due to higher investments in targeted growth areas, including higher expenses related to our acquisition of Medio, which was completed on July�2, 2014.

�

HERE non-IFRS selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 5% in the third quarter 2014 on a year-on-year basis primarily due to higher business support costs. On a sequential basis, selling, general, and administrative expenses was approximately flat in the third quarter 2014.

�

Non-IFRS Operating Profit

�

�

Sequential HERE non-IFRS operating profit in the third quarter 2014 was approximately flat, primarily due to higher non-IFRS operating expenses, offset by higher non-IFRS gross profit.

�

HERE non-IFRS other income and expenses was an income of EUR 1 million in the third quarter 2014, compared to approximately zero in the third quarter 2013 and expense of EUR 2 million in the second quarter 2014.

�

NOKIA TECHNOLOGIES

�

The following table sets forth a summary of the results for Nokia Technologies, for the periods indicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequential growth rates.

�

NOKIA TECHNOLOGIES RESULTS SUMMARY

�

�

Net Sales

�

The year-on-year increase in Nokia Technologies net sales in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to Microsoft becoming a more significant intellectual property licensee in conjunction with the sale of substantially all of the Devices�& Services business to Microsoft and higher intellectual property licensing income from certain licensees. These increases were partially offset by declines in licensing income from certain other licensees that experienced lower levels of business activity.

�

The sequential increase in Nokia Technologies net sales in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to Microsoft being a more significant intellectual property licensee during the full quarter and increases in licensing income from certain licensees that experienced higher levels of business activity.

�

�

On a year-on-year and sequential basis, Nokia Technologies non-IFRS gross margin was stable in the third quarter 2014.

�

11

�

Non-IFRS Operating Expenses

�

Nokia Technologies non-IFRS research and development expenses in the third quarter 2014 increased 6% on a year-on-year basis and 9% sequentially.

�

Nokia Technologies non-IFRS selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter 2014 decreased 6% compared to the third quarter 2013, primarily due to lower levels of activity related to certain patent licensing cases where agreements were reached, partially offset by higher levels of activity related to previously existing patent licensing cases. On a sequential basis, Nokia Technologies non-IFRS selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter 2014 increased 13%, primarily due to the higher levels of activity related to previously existing patent licensing cases.

�

Non-IFRS Operating Profit

�

The year-on-year increase in Nokia Technologies non-IFRS operating profit in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to higher non-IFRS gross profit, partially offset by higher non-IFRS operating expenses.

�

The sequential increase in Nokia Technologies non-IFRS operating profit in the third quarter 2014 was primarily due to higher non-IFRS gross profit and a positive effect from other income and expenses, partially offset by higher non-IFRS operating expenses.

�

Nokia Technologies non-IFRS other income and expenses was an income of EUR 2 million in the third quarter 2014, compared to approximately zero, both in the third quarter 2013 and in the second quarter 2014.

�

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

�

NOKIA�S CONTINUING OPERATIONS IN JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2014

�

The following discussion is of Nokia�s reported results for January-September�2014. Comparisons are given to January-September�2013 results, unless otherwise indicated.

�

The following table sets forth a summary of the reported results for the periods indicated, as well as the year-on-year growth rates.

�

NOKIA�S CONTINUING OPERATIONS RESULTS SUMMARY, REPORTED

�

�

Note 1: No comparative data available for quarterly information in 2013

�

The decline in Nokia�s continuing operations net sales in the first nine months of 2014 resulted primarily from lower net sales in Nokia Networks. The decline in Nokia Networks net sales in the first nine months of 2014 was due to lower sales in Global Services and the divestment of businesses not consistent with Nokia Networks� strategic focus, partially offset by higher sales in Mobile Broadband. The decline in Global Services net sales in the first nine months of 2014 was primarily due to a reduction in network implementation, consistent with lower levels of large scale network deployments, the exiting of certain customer contracts and countries, as well as lower maintenance activity. The increase in Mobile Broadband net sales in the first nine months of 2014 was primarily due to higher sales in LTE and core networks, partially offset by lower sales in other radio technologies.

�

14

�

The increase in Nokia�s continuing operations gross margin in the first nine months of 2014 was primarily due to higher gross margin in Nokia Networks and, to a lesser extent, higher gross margin in Nokia Technologies. The increase in Nokia Networks gross margin in the first nine months of 2014 was primarily due to a higher proportion of Mobile Broadband within the overall sales and, to a lesser extent, higher gross margin in Global Services, partially offset by a lower gross margin in Mobile Broadband.

�

The decrease in Nokia�s continuing operations operating expenses in the first nine months of 2014 was primarily due to Nokia Networks and HERE. The decrease in Nokia Networks� operating expenses in the first nine months of 2014 was primarily due to structural costs savings from Nokia Networks� global restructuring program, as well as reduced investments in businesses that are not consistent with Nokia Networks� focused strategy, partially offset by higher investments in areas that are consistent with Nokia Networks� focused strategy, most notably LTE. The decrease in HERE operating expenses was primarily due to the absence of significant purchase prize accounting-related items arising from the purchase of NAVTEQ, the vast majority of which had been fully amortized as of the end of the second quarter 2013.

�

In the third quarter 2014, we conducted an impairment assessment of the goodwill related to our HERE business as a result of an adjustment to the HERE strategy and the related new long-range plan. We concluded that these factors resulted in a triggering event requiring an interim impairment test to assess if events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of our goodwill may not be recoverable. As a result of the impairment test, we recorded a charge to operating profit of EUR 1 209 million for the impairment of goodwill.

�

Nokia�s continuing operations net financial income and expense in the first nine months of 2014 was a higher expense than in the first nine months of 2013. The higher net expense was primarily due to one-time items related to the repayment of the Convertible bond issued to Microsoft and the redemption of materially all Nokia Networks� borrowings.

�

Nokia�s continuing operations taxes in the first nine months of 2014 were a tax benefit of EUR 1�492 million, compared to a tax expense of EUR 155 million in the first nine months of 2013. The tax benefit was primarily due to the recognition of deferred tax assets from the reassessment of recoverability of tax assets related to Finland and Germany, partially offset by valuation allowances mainly related to HERE�s Dutch deferred tax assets and other tax expenses.

�

The improvement in Nokia�s continuing operations profit in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013, was primarily due to the tax benefit related to the recognition of deferred tax assets and, to a lesser extent, lower restructuring charges and lower operating expenses, partially offset by the goodwill impairment charge related to HERE.

�

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS IN JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2014

�

The following discussion is of Nokia�s reported results for January-September�2014. Comparisons are given to January-September�2013 results, unless otherwise indicated.

�

As the sale of substantially all of the Devices�& Services business to Microsoft closed on April�25, 2014, i.e. shortly after the end of the first quarter 2014, the financial results of the discontinued operations in the nine months ended September�30, 2014, are not comparable to the financial results of the discontinued operations in previous periods.
