JORMA OLLILA, CHAIRMAN AND CEO

During 2002, we again succeeded in translating our strong brand, product offering, industry-leading execution and operational efficiency into highly profitable results. While the world economy had an inevitable impact on Nokia’s topline growth, our overall profitability and market position were excellent and we ended the year with our highest ever net cash position of EUR 8.8 billion.

 

In mobile phones, we saw record sales volumes of 46 million units in the fourth quarter and our highest ever market share, an estimated 39%, as well as continued high profitability. We also shipped a record number of 33 new products for the full year. In 2002, I was very pleased with the uptake of the Series 60 platform, which has fast become the leading platform for smart phones.

 

As the mobile market moves further into this new phase of advanced features and services, driven by color screens, imaging, messaging and mobile games, we see Nokia at the forefront with its expanding product range and scope.

(Continued from page 1)

Implementation of the new organizational structure in Nokia Mobile Phones has also been proceeding steadily throughout the year, bringing with it a fresh entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to growth.

 

In the overall handset market for 2002, we were pleased to see a return to volume growth, with Nokia’s own share rising for the fifth consecutive year to an estimated 38% for the full year. We intend to make further market share gains during the current year.

 

For the fourth quarter, Nokia Networks reached the relevant milestones for its dual-mode 3G systems. Furthermore, we were pleased to start operator shipments of our first WCDMA imaging phone, the Nokia 6650, while the first Nokia-delivered WCDMA network was successfully launched in Japan. This is clear evidence that the industry is moving on track towards early commercial WCDMA launches in the first half of 2003.

 

The Open Mobile Alliance expanded far beyond all industry expectations from about 180 founding members in June to include more than 300 leading companies by the year end.This unprecedented commitment to openness is accelerating the mass-market take up of new data and value-added services for any device on any network.

 

The strength of our full-year performance in a difficult environment speaks highly for the commitment of the whole Nokia team. My special thanks go to everyone at Nokia for their contribution and dedication during 2002.

 

 

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS AND FORECASTS

Nokia’s fourth-quarter sales rose by 1% compared with the fourth quarter 2001, reaching EUR 8.8 billion. Sales for Nokia Mobile Phones were flat year on year, reaching EUR 6.7 billion, reflecting weaker sales in the Americas, offset by strong growth in Europe followed by Asia Pacific. In Nokia Networks, sales grew by 6% to EUR 2.1 billion, including EUR 370 million in 3G dual-mode revenue recognition and reflecting strong growth in the US, partially offset by weaker sales in China.

 

Fourth-quarter pro forma operating profit for the Nokia group reached EUR 1.7 billion, including a net gain of EUR 87 million from Nokia Venture Partners investments within Nokia Ventures Organization. Fourth-quarter pro forma operating profit for Nokia Mobile Phones rose by 13% year on year, backed by Nokia’s strong competitive product offering and operational excellence.

 

Excellent full-year profitability and cash flow on lower sales

Sales declined by 4% year on year for the full year 2002, reaching EUR 30.0 billion. This mainly reflected continuing difficult operating conditions in the company’s network infrastructure business. Full-year sales for Nokia Mobile Phones remained flat compared with 2001, at EUR 23.2 billion, reflecting good growth in Europe and Asia Pacific, offset by a sales decline in the Americas. In addition, handset sales in the second half, while reaching very high volume growth, tended towards the mass-market end of the product portfolio.

 

In 2002, Nokia’s overall profitability and market position were excellent and the company ended the year with its highest ever net cash position of EUR 8.8 billion.

 

Outlook for 1Q 2003

Nokia expects market conditions to remain challenging, and will continue to build on its industry-leading position, seeking to achieve high profitability as well as to grow market share in its two main businesses. First-quarter sales for Nokia Mobile Phones in 2003 are estimated to grow by 0-9% year on year and by slightly less for the whole group. Sales growth in the second quarter is estimated to be higher than in the first quarter. Nokia’s competitive position remains strong, and first-quarter pro forma EPS (diluted) is expected to be in the range of EUR 0.15 and EUR 0.19.

 

Overall mobile phone market volumes return to growth

According to Nokia’s preliminary estimates, the mobile phone market returned to growth in 2002 with overall market volumes reaching about 405 million units. This represents growth of more than 5%

compared with volumes in 2001 of around 380 million units. Market volume continued to grow year on year in Europe and Asia Pacific, both rising by about 8%. Demand in the Americas is also estimated to have grown, by approximately 4%, compared with the previous year. In the fourth quarter 2002 overall mobile phone market volumes are estimated at about 117 million units. In 2003, the company expects to see total market volumes grow by 10% or slightly more.

 

Nokia’s own mobile phone volumes reach record levels

In 2002, Nokia volumes reached a record level of 152 million units, representing faster than market growth of 9%, compared with 2001. Nokia also achieved its highest ever quarterly volume of 46 million units in the fourth quarter. For the full year 2002, backed by the company’s ongoing product leadership and user brand preference, Nokia increased its market share for the fifth consecutive year reaching an estimated 38%, bringing it closer to its targeted 40%.

 

Mobile networks market contracts during 2002

The mobile communications industry saw significant developments in the introduction of mobile data services during 2002. However, the combined effects of a general economic slowdown and high 3G license costs induced most mobile network operators to focus increasingly on cash flow while cutting back on their level of capital investments. As a result, the size of the overall mobile network infrastructure market decreased by approximately 20% compared with the previous year.

 

Nokia Networks’ accessible market contracted by around 15% during 2002, while its sales declined by 13%. This resulted in a slight market share increase for Nokia Networks in the mobile infrastructure market. Nokia does not expect conditions in this industry to markedly improve during 2003, with its own accessible market expected to decrease by 5-10%.

 

Customer financing reduced by more than half

At the end of 2002, outstanding long-term loans to customers totaled EUR 1 056 million (compared with EUR 1 128 in 2001), while guarantees given on behalf of customers totaled EUR 91 million (EUR 127 million). In addition, Nokia had financing commitments totaling EUR 857 million (EUR 2 955 million) at the end of 2002. Of the total outstanding and committed customer financing of EUR 2 004 million (EUR 4 210 million), EUR 1 573 million (EUR 3 607 million) related to 3G networks.

 

In the fourth quarter, 2002 Nokia finalized the agreement with MobilCom’s shareholder France Telecom pursuant to which the MobilCom loans will be repaid by France Telecom by issuing subordinated convertible perpetual bonds to be subscribed by Nokia. The company expects the assignment and subscription to be closed in March 2003 after MobilCom and France Telecom have received approval from their supervisory board and shareholder meeting, respectively. The net negative impact on Nokia of the MobilCom exposure was EUR 265 million. At the same time the remaining financing commitment to MobilCom of approximately EUR 530 million was terminated.

 

Nokia sees the current environment as not requiring material increases in customer financing. During 2002, Nokia reduced its total customer financing and commitments by EUR 2 206 million.

 

Global subscriber number continues to grow

In 2002, the company estimates the global subscriber base to have grown to 1 125 million users and projects this number to exceed 1.5 billion users in 2005. In addition to new subscribers, revenue growth will primarily be driven by MMS, already launched by around 100 major operators, and other advanced services based on openness, global roaming and interoperability.

 

 

NOKIA MOBILE PHONES IN THE FOURTH QUARTER

During the fourth quarter, Nokia Mobile Phones continued to renew its industry-leading product portfolio, shipping eight new products incorporating color, multimedia, e-mail and calendar, as well as polyphonic ring tones.

 

Stronger CDMA2000 1X offering

Nokia continued to strengthen its CDMA offering with shipments of the company’s second CDMA2000 1X phone, the Nokia 3585, in the US. Nokia also launched and commenced shipments of the Nokia 8280, its newest CDMA 1X offering for the Latin American market. In November, Nokia launched its first

CDMA2000 1X GPS phone, the Nokia 3585i, which is expected to start shipping in the US during the first quarter 2003.

Nine new GSM products launched in 4Q

The company launched nine new GSM products including phones with high-quality color displays, Javatechnology and MMS support in the active, classic, fashion and premium categories, as well as a mobile entry phone, a new messaging device, and three new mobile enhancements. The Nokia 6800, with its full keyboard for managing personal information, text input and messaging was a highlight.

World’s first GSM/EDGE phone

In November, Nokia launched the world’s first GSM/EDGE mobile phone. With its convenient high-speed data transfer, the EDGE-capable Nokia 6200 tri-band phone brings third-generation speed and services to the user. It is expected to become commercially available in the Americas during the first quarter 2003.

 

WCDMA 3G moves to commercial phase

During the quarter, Nokia announced it has passed all regulatory WCDMA and GSM type approval tests for the Nokia 6650 WCDMA/GSM dual-mode mobile phone and began deliveries for operator testing in both Europe and Japan. The Nokia 6650, introduced on 26 September in Helsinki, is the world’s first 3GPP compliant WCDMA/GSM dual-mode phone.

Series 60 smart phone platform gains momentum

During the quarter, Sendo, a British mobile phone manufacturer, announced its decision to license the Series 60 Platform from Nokia for its smart phone category. Sendo joins as the newest member of the Series 60 licensing community with Matsushita, Samsung, Siemens and Nokia, together representing approximately 60% of the total global mobile phone market. According to company estimates, Nokia alone will ship 10 million Series 60 smart phones during 2003.

Nokia to enter games industry with Nokia N-Gage

Nokia announced it would bring mobility to the games industry by offering console quality games for its new mobile game deck device category. Under a collaboration agreement with world leading games publisher, Sega, the two companies will develop games for the new Nokia N-Gage mobile game deck, which will run on the Nokia Series 60 platform and the Symbian operating system.

Nokia Game attracts record number of players

The annual Nokia Game, an interactive adventure game for mobile phone users across 25 countries, set a new record for the greatest number of player registrations during the quarter. By the end of November 2002, one million players had participated in the Nokia Game 2002.

 

 

NOKIA NETWORKS IN THE FOURTH QUARTER

In third-generation WCDMA networks, Nokia Networks signed an expansion contract to the original agreement with J-Phone in Japan and new contracts with Chungwa Telecom and Taiwan Cellular Corporation in Taiwan.

 

Nokia MMS customers rise to well over 40 operators

Operators continued to implement MMS services and Nokia won 11 new MMS contracts during the fourth quarter, raising Nokia’s total number of MMS customers to well over 40 at year-end. By December 31, 2002, approximately 100 operators in the industry overall had begun offering MMS, with millions of individuals taking it into use.

 

Company signs new deals in GSM, GPRS and TETRA

During the fourth quarter, Nokia Networks signed GSM network expansion deals with Gansu MCC and Henan MCC in China, with AIS in Thailand and with Cellular One in the United States. The company also won a new customer when Telefónica Móvil in Chile chose Nokia as a supplier of its GSM and GPRS networks. In the professional mobile radio (TETRA) markets, Nokia Networks won four new deals with customers in Bulgaria, Morocco, Tunisia and Venezuela. Nokia also made three broadband access deals in China.

NOKIA VENTURES ORGANIZATION IN THE FOURTH QUARTER

While industry-wide IT security spending remained flat during the fourth quarter, Nokia Internet Communications’ revenues increased both sequentially and year on year due to market acceptance of earlier launched network security appliances and solutions. During the period, Nokia introduced its end-to-end mobile VPN solution, allowing enterprises to securely extend, provision and manage network infrastructure for their mobile workforces. In addition, Nokia complemented its product portfolio to encompass content security with the launch of the Nokia Message Protector SC6600 in co-operation with newly-announced strategic partner Trend Micro.

 

Nokia Home Communications also launched several new products in line with increasing demand for terrestrial receiver products in key markets. Nokia Ventures Organization’s results were impacted favorably by a net gain of EUR 87 million from Nokia Venture Partners, mainly resulting from a successful investment in PayPal.

Of the total outstanding and committed customer financing of EUR 2 004 million (EUR 4 210 million), EUR 1 573 million (EUR 3 607 million) related to 3G networks.

 

Global Reach

In 2002, Europe accounted for 54% of Nokia’s net sales (49% in 2001), the Americas 22% (25%) and Asia-Pacific 24% (26%). The 10 largest markets were US, UK, China, Germany, Italy, France, UAE, Thailand, Brazil and Poland together representing 60% of total sales.

 

Research and development

In 2002, Nokia continued to invest in its worldwide research and development network and co-operation. At year-end, Nokia had 19 579 R&D employees, approximately 38% of Nokia’s total personnel. Nokia has R&D centers in 14 countries. Investments in R&D increased by 2% (16% in 2001) and totalled EUR 3 052 million (EUR 2 985 million in 2001), representing 10.2% of net sales (9.6% of net sales in 2001).

 

Joint Initiatives

Open Mobile Alliance

As the mobile industry evolves into new applications and services, co-operation among industry players has intensified, facilitating the faster adoption of mobile services as well as market growth for the entire mobile industry. Nokia, an active promoter of the Open Mobile Architecture initiative, launched in November 2001, was a founding member of the Open Mobile Alliance, which naturally evolved from this.

 

 

11



 

Since its inception in June 2002, the Open Mobile Alliance has rapidly expanded from around 180 members to include more than 300 companies, representing leading mobile operators, device and network suppliers, IT companies and content providers.

 

People

The average number of personnel for 2002 was 52 714 (57 716 for 2001). At the end of 2002, Nokia employed 51 748 people worldwide (53 849 at year-end 2001). In 2002, Nokia’s personnel decreased by a total of 2 101 employees (decrease of 6 440 in 2001).

 

Employee Value Proposition

In a move to further attract, engage and retain a skilled workforce, Nokia this year developed an employee value proposition framework. The adaptation and implementation of this has already started at country levels to reflect and respond to local employee needs and expectations. The four fundamentals of the proposition are (1) the Nokia Way and Values, (2) performance-based rewarding, (3) professional and personal growth, and (4) work-life balance.

 

Corporate Responsibility

During 2002, Nokia made clear progress in the area of corporate responsibility. Developments included the expansion of our global community involvement program (Make a Connection) to 12 countries, reaching over one million people; the introduction of a company-wide diversity program aimed at preventing discrimination and increasing the productivity and innovation of teams; and further development and increased transparency in our product life-cycle management (related to our work in design for environment, supplier network management, manufacturing and end-of-life practices).

 

Nokia is actively participating in a number of international initiatives, such as those of Global Compact, UN ICT Task Force, International Youth Foundation, World Business Council for Sustainable Development and WWF. As a result of our performance in economic, environmental and social issues, and increased transparency in reporting, Nokia was again included in Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) benchmarks, such as Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes and the FTSE4Good.

 

In 2002, Nokia was named as the top stock held by SRI funds in Europe, according to an analysis of European SRI funds by the Sustainable Investment Research International Group (SiRi), a coalition of 12 national SRI research bodies.

 

 

NOKIA MOBILE PHONES IN 2002

Nokia Mobile Phones continued to renew its industry-leading product line-up, launching a record 34 new products during 2002, incorporating color, imaging, multimedia, mobile games and polyphonic ring tones. Of the total new phones launched, 14 had color screens and multimedia capability. This attests to the growing share of feature-rich phones offering advanced mobile services in the company’s product portfolio.

 

During the year, Nokia launched its first WCDMA mobile phone, the Nokia 6650, which began deliveries to operators for testing in October 2002. The company also commenced shipments of its first CDMA2000 1X  mobile phones in the Americas. These included the Nokia 6370, the Nokia 6385, the Nokia 3585, and the Nokia 8280.

 

In imaging, Nokia began shipping its iconic camera phone, the Nokia 7650, expanding the scope of the mobile market from voice to visual communications. Feedback from customers and users across the board has been extremely positive.

 

In the enterprise segment, the company expanded its product offering from the Nokia Communicator 9200 series to include the Nokia 6800 messaging device, with full QWERTY keypad optimized for personal and enterprise mobile e-mail.

 

In entertainment, Nokia announced it would bring mobility to gaming by offering console quality games for its new mobile game deck device category. Under a collaboration agreement with world leading games publisher, Sega, the two companies will develop games for the new Nokia N-Gage mobile game deck, which will run on the Nokia Series 60 platform and the Symbian operating system.

 

 

12



 

 

For the full year 2002, Nokia volumes reached a record level of 152 million units, representing faster than market growth of 9%, compared with 2001. Backed by Nokia’s ongoing product leadership and user brand preference, Nokia has again increased its market share for the fifth consecutive year reaching about 38% for the full year 2002, bringing the company closer to its target of 40%.

 

During the year, Nokia Mobile Phones took steps to accelerate growth and enhance both agility and scale benefits with the introduction of a new operational structure. From May 1, nine new business units were each made responsible for product and business development within a defined market segment. This allowed Nokia to optimize its activities in these vertically-focused areas, while continuing to achieve broad economies of scale from horizontal functions such as application software development and the company’s market-leading demand-supply network.

 

 

NOKIA NETWORKS IN 2002

During the year, Nokia Networks signed 20 GSM network deals in Asia, China, Europe and the US, including three new customers.

 

Mobile Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS) became a reality in 2002, with its rapid implementation into most GSM operator networks. By year-end, Nokia Networks had delivered MMS solutions to well over 40 operators.

 

WCDMA 3G technology implementation moved to pre-commercial and commercial phase towards the end of 2002. Nokia signed 10 new 3G deals in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Japan, the UK and Taiwan. In September, Nokia became the first vendor to commence volume deliveries of EDGE hardware across all major GSM bands and in all continents.

 

In broadband access, Nokia signed nine new contracts in 2002, and launched the Nokia D500 next generation multiservice broadband access platform for the US and ETSI markets.

 

The company also further strengthened its GSM/EDGE/WCDMA product family with several new products and solutions. Key launches included a high-availability server platform for use in All-IP mobility networks, and the Nokia LTX, a linear transceiver product family of base station modules that support the definition of Open IP Base Station Architecture.

 

During the year, Nokia took measures to align its operations to better reflect current market capacity and conditions, reducing the number of employees in its delivery and maintenance services as well as in production. Nokia also streamlined its professional mobile radio unit to reflect the slower than expected take-off of this market.

 

 

NOKIA VENTURES ORGANIZATION IN 2002

Despite overall flat IT spending and slow growth in the corporate network security market throughout 2002, Nokia Internet Communications maintained the same level of sales and market share in the enterprise firewall/VPN appliance segment as the previous year, as well as significantly improving its operational efficiency.

 

Highlights for the year include the introduction of a record number of new products and solutions that both expand Nokia’s network security appliance portfolio and respond to emerging market opportunities. Extending mobility to enterprise workforces, protecting corporate e-mail content and providing firewall/VPN benefits to remote offices were promising growth areas addressed with new product offerings from Nokia. To help foster the creation of new security applications to complement Nokia’s own solutions, the Nokia Security Developers Alliance was launched in July. Looking forward to 2003, Nokia Internet Communications remains committed to building a leading position in the corporate network security market and extending mobility to enterprises.

 

For Nokia Home Communications, sales in 2002 clearly declined as the unit began a migration towards emerging horizontal markets with the launch of new types of terminals focused on horizontal terrestrial

and satellite markets, providing digital viewers access to a broad range of digital services. Products, such as the Nokia Mediamaster 230 S, introduced Bluetooth-enabled interoperability to the home environment in the second half of the year.

 

 

CHANGES IN SHARE CAPITAL

In 2002, Nokia’s share capital increased by EUR 3 022 621.20 as a result of the issue of 50 377 020 new shares upon exercise of warrants and stock options issued to key personnel in 1997 and 1999.

 

On December 31, 2002, Nokia Group companies owned 1 145 621 Nokia shares. The shares had an aggregate nominal value of EUR 68 737.26 representing 0.02% of the share capital of the company and the total voting rights.

 

The total number of shares at December 31, 2002 was 4 787 907 141. As a result of the new share issues, Nokia received a total of EUR 162 827 165.74 in additional shareholders’ equity in 2002. At December 31, 2002, Nokia’s share capital was EUR 287 274 428.46.

 

 

PARENT COMPANY

Effective July 1, Nextrom Holding S.A., a publicly listed corporation organized under the laws of Switzerland, became a subsidiary of Nokia Corporation.

 

 

OUTLOOK

Nokia’s objective is to take and maintain a leading role in creating communications products and services that enrich the daily lives of people and enable enterprises to prosper. The company strives to keep a clear focus on human needs, managing risks and building reputation, integrating all stakeholder expectations into its business decision making.

 

In 2002, Nokia confirmed its ability to perform well in a challenging environment, translating core strengths of leading brand, excellence in execution and continuous product renewal into strong profitability. Going into 2003, the company expects market conditions to remain challenging, but will continue to build on Nokia’s industry-leading position, seeking to achieve high profitability as well as to grow market share in its two main businesses.

 

As market leader and a global company, Nokia takes its responsibilities seriously. Sound company ethics makes business sense by helping minimize risk, ensuring legal compliance, and building reputation amongst stakeholders. By conducting business in a responsible way, Nokia can make a significant contribution to sustainable development, at the same time building a strong foundation for economic growth.

 

 

DIVIDEND

Nokia’s Board of Directors will propose a dividend of EUR 0.28 per share in respect of 2002.
