Nokia Corporation

Interim Report

April 30, 2015 at 08:00 (CET +1)

This is a summary of the Nokia Corporation interim report for first quarter 2015 published today. The complete first quarter 2015 interim report with tables is available at http://company.nokia.com/en/financials. Investors should not rely on summaries of our interim reports only, but should review the complete interim reports with tables.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

·                  Net sales in Q1 2015 of EUR 3.2 billion (EUR 2.7 billion in Q1 2014), up 20% year-on-year

·                  Non-IFRS diluted EPS in Q1 2015 of EUR 0.05 (EUR 0.04 in Q1 2014), an increase of 25% year-on-year; reported diluted EPS in Q1 2015 of EUR 0.05 (EUR 0.03 in Q1 2014), up 67% year-on-year

Nokia Networks

·                  15% year-on-year net sales growth driven by growth in four out of our six regions, with non-IFRS operating margin declining to 3.2% from 9.3%

·                  21% year-on-year growth in Global Services net sales, primarily driven by strong growth in the network implementation business line. 10% year-on-year growth in Mobile Broadband net sales, primarily driven by overall radio technologies, particularly LTE

·                  61% year-on-year decline in non-IFRS operating profit primarily driven by lower software sales, lower non-IFRS gross profit in the systems integration business line, the short-term impact of strategic entry deals, higher non-IFRS operating expenses due to foreign exchange impacts and increased investments in LTE, 5G and cloud core, and more challenging market conditions

HERE

·                  25% year-on-year growth in net sales, with 29% year-on-year increase in sales of new vehicle licenses for embedded navigation systems

·                  90% year-on-year growth in non-IFRS operating profit, with non-IFRS operating margin expanding to 7.3% from 4.8%

Nokia Technologies

·                  103% year-on-year growth in net sales and 124% growth in non-IFRS operating profit, primarily due to non-recurring adjustments to accrued net sales from existing agreements, revenue share related to previously divested intellectual property rights, and intellectual property rights divested in the first quarter 2015. In addition, net sales and non-IFRS operating profit benefitted from higher intellectual property licensing income from existing licensees

CEO statement

Nokia delivered a 20% increase in net sales and 25% increase in earnings per share in the first quarter.  Underlying these results was excellent performance from HERE and Nokia Technologies, while good growth at Nokia Networks was offset by unsatisfactory profitability.

I remain confident that our lean operating model, ongoing focus on cost management, and the current strength of our portfolio will enable us to meet our 2015 goals for Nokia Networks. The business delivered healthy year-on-year growth even after adjusting for currency fluctuations, although a number of factors in the quarter had a negative impact on profitability. We expect some of these negative factors to ease, particularly in the second half of 2015.

HERE’s excellent momentum in the automotive sector continued, helping the business deliver 25% year-on-year growth and improved profitability. As we proceed with the strategic review that we announced on April 15, we are considering our options in order to determine what is best for Nokia shareholders and best for HERE. I am very pleased with HERE’s performance and firmly believe that it will have a bright future, either with Nokia or with new ownership.

Nokia Technologies also had a strong quarter with year on year sales up more than 100% and operating margin up sharply both year-on-year and sequentially. The business benefitted in the quarter from some non-recurring effects and revenue share from previously divested intellectual property rights. I am more confident than ever that licensing activities are tracking well and that there is a robust pipeline of potential new licensees. In addition, I believe that we are focusing on the right innovation opportunities and that the necessary cost discipline is in place.

Shortly after the end of the quarter, we announced a landmark deal with Alcatel-Lucent. The strategic logic of this proposed transaction is strong and we believe that it will provide long term benefits to shareholders of both Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent. We are moving fast on the necessary integration planning, and have already established a structure designed to minimize disruption to our ongoing business. We will bring the same operational discipline to our integration activities that we have successfully applied to the earlier transformation at Nokia Networks.

Nokia in Q1 2015

The following discussion is of Nokia Group’s reported results for the first quarter 2015 which comprise the results of Nokia’s three businesses — Nokia Networks, HERE and Nokia Technologies, as well as Group Common Functions. Comparisons are given to the first quarter 2014 and fourth quarter 2014 results, unless otherwise indicated.

Financial discussion

Net sales

Nokia’s net sales increased 20% year-on-year and declined 16% sequentially. At constant currency, Nokia’s net sales would have increased 11% year-on-year and declined 21% sequentially.

Year-on-year discussion

The year-on-year increase in Nokia’s net sales in the first quarter 2015 was primarily due to higher net sales in Nokia Networks, Nokia Technologies and, to a lesser extent, in HERE.

Sequential discussion

The sequential decline in Nokia’s net sales in the first quarter 2015 was primarily due to seasonally lower net sales in Nokia Networks and, to a lesser extent, in HERE. This was partially offset by higher net sales in Nokia Technologies.

Non-IFRS Operating profit

Year-on-year discussion

Nokia’s non-IFRS operating profit declined 13% year-on-year in the first quarter 2015, primarily due to a decline in non-IFRS operating profit in Nokia Networks, partially offset by increases in non-IFRS operating profit in Nokia Technologies and, to a lesser extent, in HERE.

Nokia’s non-IFRS other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 19 million in the first quarter 2015, compared to an income of EUR 11 million in the first quarter 2014. On a year-on-year basis, the change in Nokia’s non-IFRS other income and expenses was primarily due to lower other income in Group Common Functions and higher foreign exchange hedging related losses.

Sequential discussion

Nokia’s non-IFRS operating profit declined 49% sequentially in the first quarter 2015, primarily due to a decline in non-IFRS operating profit in Nokia Networks, partially offset by an increase in non-IFRS operating profit in Nokia Technologies.

Nokia’s non-IFRS other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 19 million in the first quarter 2015, compared to an expense of EUR 2 million in the fourth quarter 2014. On a sequential basis, the change in Nokia’s non-IFRS other income and expenses was primarily due to foreign exchange hedging related losses.

Non-IFRS Profit

The share of results of associated companies in the first quarter 2015 includes an approximately EUR 25 million out of period adjustment. Nokia has historically accounted for the results of the associated company in

4

arrears as the results have not been material. Due to an increase in the entity’s earnings, the amounts reflected in the first quarter 2015 should have been recorded in the fourth quarter 2014.

Year-on-year discussion

Nokia’s non-IFRS profit increased 16% on a year-on-year basis in the first quarter 2015, primarily due to lower non-IFRS financial expenses and the approximately EUR 25 million out of period adjustment mentioned above, partially offset by lower non-IFRS operating profit and, to a lesser extent, higher non-IFRS tax expenses. In the first quarter 2015 Nokia’s non-IFRS tax expense was based on an effective tax rate of approximately 25%, and this resulted in a higher non-IFRS tax expense than in the first quarter 2014. However, the tax expenses in the first quarter of 2014 and 2015 are not directly comparable due to the fact that Nokia’s deferred tax assets in Finland and Germany were subject to valuation allowances until the third quarter of 2014.

Sequential discussion

Sequentially, Nokia’s non-IFRS profit declined 44% in the first quarter 2015, primarily due to a decline in non-IFRS operating profit, partially offset by lower non-IFRS tax expenses, the approximately EUR 25 million out of period adjustment mentioned above and lower non-IFRS financial expenses.

Subsequent events

Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent to combine to create an innovation leader in next generation technology and services for an IP connected world

On April 15, 2015, Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent announced their intention to combine to create an innovation leader in next generation technology and services for an IP connected world. The two companies entered into a memorandum of understanding under which Nokia will make an offer for all of the equity securities issued by Alcatel-Lucent, through a public exchange offer in France and in the United States, on the basis of 0.55 of a new Nokia share for every Alcatel-Lucent share.

The combined company announced to target approximately EUR 900 million of operating cost synergies to be achieved on a full year basis in 2019. The operating cost synergies are expected to create a long-term structural cost advantage. The combined company would also target approximately EUR 200 million of reductions in interest expenses to be achieved on a full year basis in 2017. The transaction is expected to be accretive to Nokia earnings on a non-IFRS basis in 2017. These targets all assume closing of the transaction in the first half of 2016. The combined company is expected to have a strong balance sheet, with combined net cash at December 31, 2014 of EUR 7.4 billion, assuming conversion of all Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent convertible bonds.

Each company’s Board of Directors approved the terms of the proposed transaction, which is expected to close in the first half of 2016. The proposed transaction is subject to approval by Nokia’s shareholders, completion of relevant works council consultations, receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.

Further information on the transaction can be found at: www.newconnectivity.com.

Nokia has initiated a review of strategic options for its HERE business

On April 15, 2015, Nokia announced that it has initiated a review of strategic options, including a potential divestment, for its HERE business. The Board of Directors of Nokia believes this is the right moment to assess the position of HERE within the proposed new Nokia business. The strategic review of HERE is on-going and it may or may not result in a transaction. Any further announcements about HERE will be made as and when appropriate.

Venture fund investments

Nokia makes technology related investments through venture funds. A significant part of these investments are managed by Nokia Growth Partners (“NGP”), which specializes in growth-stage investing. Nokia has also made investments through BlueRun Ventures (“BRV”), which focuses on early stage opportunities.

After the end of the first quarter, NGP sold its holdings in Ganji.com, a major online local services marketplace platform in China to 58.com. Under the terms of the transaction NGP will receive a combination of 58.com shares and cash. BRV had also invested in Ganji.com and is participating in the transaction. The transaction values Nokia’s indirect holdings at approximately EUR 200 million. Nokia expects to record benefits from the

6

transaction when cash distributions are made. The final amount and timing of benefits will depend on the value and date at which the venture funds liquidate the portion of the transaction that was made in shares.

At the end of the first quarter 2015, the fair value of our venture fund investments, equalled EUR 978 million, as compared to EUR 778 million at December 31, 2014. This amount is included in the available for sale investments, under non-current assets, in Nokia’s balance sheet.

Financial discussion

Net sales by segment

In the first quarter 2015, Mobile Broadband represented 52% of Nokia Networks net sales, compared to 54% in the first quarter 2014 and 52% in the fourth quarter 2014. In the first quarter 2015, Global Services represented 48% of Nokia Networks net sales, compared to 46% in the first quarter 2014 and 47% in the fourth quarter 2014.

11

Year-on-year discussion

The year-on-year increase of 15% in Nokia Networks net sales in the first quarter 2015 was primarily due to an increase in net sales in Global Services and, to a lesser extent, in Mobile Broadband.

Global Services net sales increased 21% year-on-year in the first quarter 2015, primarily due to particularly strong growth in the network implementation business line and, to a lesser extent, growth in network planning and optimization as well as care business lines.

Mobile Broadband net sales increased 10% year-on-year in the first quarter 2015, primarily due to growth in overall radio technologies, with particular strength in LTE. This was partially offset by a year-on-year decline in core networking technologies.

At constant currency, Nokia Networks net sales would have increased 5% year-on-year.

Sequential discussion

The sequential decline of 21% in Nokia Networks net sales in the first quarter 2015 was primarily due to a decline in net sales in both Mobile Broadband and Global Services and, to a lesser extent, the absence of approximately EUR 25 million of non-recurring intellectual property rights (“IPR”) income, which benefitted Nokia Networks net sales in the fourth quarter 2014.

Mobile Broadband net sales declined 22% sequentially in the first quarter 2015, primarily due to seasonally lower net sales in overall radio technologies and core networking technologies. Within radio technologies, the decline was primarily due to declines in mature radio technologies, and to a lesser extent in LTE.

Global Services net sales declined 18% sequentially in the first quarter 2015, primarily due to seasonally lower net sales in network implementation and systems integration, as well as seasonal declines in other business lines.

At constant currency, Nokia Networks net sales would have declined 25% sequentially.

Non-IFRS Operating profit

Year-on-year discussion

The year-on-year decline in Nokia Networks non-IFRS operating profit in the first quarter 2015 was primarily due to Mobile Broadband and, to a lesser extent, Global Services. On a year-on-year basis, the declines in both Mobile Broadband and Global Services non-IFRS operating profit in the first quarter 2015 were primarily due to higher non-IFRS operating expenses and, to a lesser extent, lower non-IFRS gross profit.

On a year-on-year basis, Nokia Networks non-IFRS gross margin declined primarily due to a lower proportion of software and a higher proportion of the network implementation business line in the sales mix. In addition, Nokia Networks non-IFRS gross margin was negatively impacted by lower non-IFRS gross margin within the systems integration business line, higher costs related to the short-term impact of strategic entry deals, and more challenging market conditions. The proportion of high margin software sales in the Nokia Networks sales mix was approximately 5 percentage points lower in the first quarter 2015 compared to the first quarter 2014.

The slight year-on-year decline in non-IFRS gross profit in Mobile Broadband in the first quarter 2015 was primarily due to lower non-IFRS gross profit in core networking technologies, partially offset by higher non-IFRS gross profit in overall radio technologies. The lower non-IFRS gross profit in core networking technologies was primarily attributable to lower software sales. In addition, non-IFRS gross profit in Mobile Broadband was negatively impacted by higher costs related to the short-term impact of strategic entry deals, and more challenging market conditions.

The slight year-on-year decline in Global Services non-IFRS gross profit in the first quarter 2015 was primarily due to the absence of favourable regional mix that benefitted the systems integration business line in the first quarter 2014. This was partially offset by a higher non-IFRS gross profit in the care business line.

The year-on-year increase in Nokia Networks non-IFRS research and development expenses in the first quarter 2015 was primarily due to increased investments in LTE, 5G and cloud core. On a year-on-year basis, Nokia Networks non-IFRS selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher personnel expenses.

Nokia Networks non-IFRS other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 14 million in the first quarter 2015, compared to an expense of EUR 2 million in the first quarter 2014. On a year-on-year basis, the change in Nokia Networks non-IFRS other income and expenses was primarily due to foreign exchange hedging related losses.

On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a significant positive impact on non-IFRS gross profit, and a significant negative impact on non-IFRS operating expenses, resulting in a slightly positive net impact on non-IFRS operating profit in the first quarter 2015.

Net sales

Sales to automotive customers represented well over 50% of HERE net sales in the first quarter 2015, as well as in the first quarter 2014 and the fourth quarter 2014.

Year-on-year discussion

In the first quarter 2015, HERE net sales increased 25% year-on-year, primarily due to higher sales to automotive customers, as well as Microsoft becoming a more significant licensee of HERE’s services and, to a lesser extent, higher sales to enterprise and personal navigation device (“PND”) customers. This was partially offset by lower recognition of revenue related to smartphone sales by our former Devices & Services business. In addition, compared to the first quarter 2014, HERE’s year-on-year net sales were negatively affected by the absence of a benefit related to the conversion of a contract to a perpetual license.

At constant currency, HERE overall net sales would have increased 17% year-on-year.

Sequential discussion

In the first quarter 2015, HERE net sales declined 11% sequentially, primarily due to seasonally lower sales to both PND and automotive customers.

At constant currency, HERE overall net sales would have declined 14% sequentially.

New vehicle licences

In the first quarter 2015, HERE had sales of new vehicle licenses of 3.6 million units, compared to 2.8 million units in the first quarter 2014 and 3.9 million units in the fourth quarter 2014. On a year-on-year basis, unit sales to automotive customers increased primarily due to higher consumer uptake of in-vehicle navigation and higher vehicle sales. On a sequential basis, unit sales to automotive customers declined primarily due to seasonality.

Non-IFRS Operating profit

Year-on-year discussion

The year-on-year increase in HERE non-IFRS operating profit in the first quarter 2015 was primarily due to higher non-IFRS gross profit, partially offset by higher non-IFRS operating expenses. On a year-on-year basis, HERE non-IFRS research and development expenses increased primarily due to higher investments in targeted

growth areas, including higher non-IFRS research and development expenses related to our acquisition of Medio, which was completed on July 2, 2014. This was partially offset by cost savings related to the curtailing of investments in certain higher risk longer-term growth opportunities. On a year-on-year basis, HERE non-IFRS selling, general, and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher business support costs.

On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a significant positive impact on non-IFRS gross profit, and a significant negative impact on non-IFRS operating expenses, resulting in a slightly positive net impact on non-IFRS operating profit in the first quarter 2015.

Net sales

Year-on-year discussion

In the first quarter 2015, Nokia Technologies net sales increased 103% year-on-year, primarily due to two factors. First, approximately two-thirds of the year-on-year growth in Nokia Technologies net sales in the first quarter 2015 related to non-recurring adjustments to accrued net sales from existing agreements, revenue share related to previously divested intellectual property rights, and intellectual property rights divested in the first quarter 2015. Second, approximately one-third of the year-on-year growth in Nokia Technologies net sales in the first quarter 2015 related to higher intellectual property licensing income from existing licensees, which included Microsoft becoming a more significant intellectual property licensee in conjunction with the sale of substantially all of Nokia’s Devices & Services business to Microsoft.

At constant currency, Nokia Technologies net sales would have increased 96% year-on-year.

Nokia Technologies first quarter 2015 net sales includes revenue from all licensing negotiations, litigations and arbitrations to the extent that we believe is currently required, but is not a forecast of the likely future outcome of ongoing licensing projects.

Sequential discussion

(1)Total cash and other liquid assets less interest-bearing liabilities.

In the first quarter 2015, Nokia’s total cash and other liquid assets decreased by EUR 199 million and Nokia’s net cash and other liquid assets decreased by EUR 351 million, compared to the fourth quarter 2014.

Foreign exchange rates had an approximately EUR 150 million positive impact on the translation of gross cash and approximately EUR 150 million positive impact on net cash.

On a sequential basis, net cash and other liquid assets was affected by the following factors:

In the first quarter 2015, Nokia’s net cash used in operating activities was EUR 199 million. Nokia’s adjusted net profit before changes in net working capital was EUR 370 million in the first quarter 2015. Nokia had approximately EUR 50 million of restructuring-related cash outflows in the first quarter 2015, related to Nokia Networks. Excluding this, Nokia net working capital had cash outflows of approximately EUR 50 million as the negative cash impact from decreases in short-term liabilities was partially offset by the positive impact from a decrease in receivables. In addition, Nokia had: a) cash inflows of approximately EUR 30 million related to net financial income and expenses, b) cash outflows of approximately EUR 400 million primarily related to foreign exchange impact from hedging and balance sheet related items, and c) cash outflows of approximately EUR 100 million related to taxes. Additionally, Nokia had cash inflows related to net working capital and taxes from discontinued operations totalling approximately EUR 10 million in the first quarter 2015.

In the first quarter 2015, Nokia had cash outflows from investing activities primarily related to approximately EUR 70 million of capital expenditures and approximately EUR 50 million related to acquisitions completed in the quarter.

In the first quarter 2015, cash outflows from financing activities primarily related to the share repurchases, which totalled approximately EUR 160 million during the quarter.

Nokia’s year to date performance

The following discussion is of Nokia Group’s reported results for the first quarter 2015 which comprise the results of Nokia’s three businesses — Nokia Networks, HERE and Nokia Technologies, as well as Group Common Functions. Comparisons are given to the first quarter 2014 and fourth quarter 2014 results, unless otherwise indicated.

Net sales

Nokia’s net sales increased 20% year-on-year. At constant currency, Nokia’s net sales would have increased 11% year-on-year.

The year-on-year increase in Nokia’s net sales in the first quarter 2015 was primarily due to higher net sales in Nokia Networks, Nokia Technologies and, to a lesser extent, in HERE.

Operating profit

Nokia’s operating profit declined 2% year-on-year in the first quarter 2015, primarily due to a decline in operating profit in Nokia Networks, partially offset by increases in operating profit in Nokia Technologies and, to a lesser extent, in HERE.

Nokia’s other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 25 million in the first quarter 2015, compared to an expense of EUR 3 million in the first quarter 2014. On a year-on-year basis, Nokia’s other income and expenses increased primarily due to lower other income in Group Common Functions.

23

Profit

The share of results of associated companies in the first quarter 2015 includes an approximately EUR 25 million out of period adjustment. Nokia has historically accounted for the results of the associated company in arrears as the results have not been material. Due to an increase in the entity’s earnings, the amounts reflected in the first quarter 2015 should have been recorded in the fourth quarter 2014.

Nokia’s profit increased 65% on a year-on-year basis in the first quarter 2015, primarily due to lower financial expenses and the approximately EUR 25 million out of period adjustment mentioned above.

24

Nokia Networks

Net sales by segment

In the first quarter 2015, Mobile Broadband represented 52% of Nokia Networks net sales, compared to 54% in the first quarter 2014. In the first quarter 2015, Global Services represented 48% of Nokia Networks net sales, compared to 46% in the first quarter 2014.

The year-on-year increase of 15% in Nokia Networks net sales in the first quarter 2015 was primarily due to an increase in net sales in Global Services and, to a lesser extent, in Mobile Broadband.

Global Services net sales increased 21% year-on-year in the first quarter 2015, primarily due to particularly strong growth in the network implementation business line and, to a lesser extent, growth in network planning and optimization as well as care business lines.

Mobile Broadband net sales increased 10% year-on-year in the first quarter 2015, primarily due to growth in overall radio technologies, with particular strength in LTE. This was partially offset by a year-on-year decline in core networking technologies.

At constant currency, Nokia Networks net sales would have increased 5% year-on-year.

25

Net sales by region

On a regional basis, compared to the first quarter 2014, Nokia Networks net sales in North America increased 47%, primarily driven by higher net sales in Global Services, including the benefit from the acquisition of SAC Wireless. In addition, Nokia Networks net sales in North America increased, to a slightly lesser extent, due to higher net sales in Mobile Broadband. In Asia-Pacific, net sales increased 14%, primarily driven by higher Global Services net sales across the region, partially offset by a slight decline in Mobile Broadband net sales. The overall growth in Asia-Pacific was primarily due to higher Mobile Broadband and Global Services net sales in India, partially offset by lower Mobile Broadband net sales in Japan. In Greater China, net sales increased 31% driven by higher net sales in Global Services and, to a lesser extent, in Mobile Broadband. In Middle East and Africa, net sales increased 27% driven by higher net sales in both Mobile Broadband and Global Services. In Latin America, net sales declined 5% driven by lower net sales in both Global Services and Mobile Broadband. The overall decline in Latin America was primarily due to lower net sales in Brazil partially offset by higher net sales in Argentina. In Europe, net sales declined 2%, primarily driven by lower Global Services net sales. The overall decline in Europe was primarily due to lower net sales in Germany, partially offset by higher net sales in Italy and Russia.

Operating profit

The year-on-year decline in Nokia Networks operating profit in the first quarter 2015 was primarily due to Mobile Broadband and, to a lesser extent, Global Services. On a year-on-year basis, the declines in both Mobile Broadband and Global Services operating profit in the first quarter 2015 were primarily due to higher operating expenses and, to a lesser extent, lower gross profit.

On a year-on-year basis, Nokia Networks gross margin declined primarily due to a lower proportion of software and a higher proportion of the network implementation business line in the sales mix. In addition, Nokia Networks gross margin was negatively impacted by lower gross margin within the system integration business line, higher costs related to the short-term impact of strategic entry deals, and more challenging market conditions. The proportion of high margin software sales in the Nokia Networks sales mix was approximately 5 percentage points lower in the first quarter 2015 compared to the first quarter 2014.

The slight year-on-year decline in gross profit in Mobile Broadband in the first quarter 2015 was primarily due to lower gross profit in core networking technologies, partially offset by higher gross profit in overall radio technologies. The lower gross profit in core networking technologies was primarily attributable to lower software sales. In addition, gross profit in Mobile Broadband was negatively impacted by higher costs related to the short-term impact of strategic entry deals, and more challenging market conditions.

26

The slight year-on-year decline in Global Services gross profit in the first quarter 2015 was primarily due to the absence of favourable regional mix that benefitted the systems integration business line in the first quarter 2014. This was partially offset by a higher gross profit in the care business line.

The year-on-year increase in Nokia Networks research and development expenses in the first quarter 2015 was primarily due to increased investments in LTE, 5G and cloud core. On a year-on-year basis, Nokia Networks selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher personnel expenses.

Nokia Networks other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 14 million in the first quarter 2015, compared to an expense of EUR 17 million in the first quarter 2014. On a year-on-year basis, the change in Nokia Networks other income and expenses was primarily due to foreign exchange hedging related losses.

On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a significant positive impact on gross profit, and a significant negative impact on operating expenses, resulting in a slightly positive net impact on operating profit in the first quarter 2015.
