JORMA OLLILA, CHAIRMAN AND CEO:

 

“Nokia had an excellent quarter, with very strong year on year volume, net sales and EPS growth. A robust market coupled with our strong product portfolio and excellent execution produced outstanding results in a seasonally challenging first quarter. And our device market share of 35% in the first quarter – an increase of three percentage points year on year – further reinforces our number one position globally.

 

Nokia continues to benefit from a diversifying product offering in terms of form and function, led by a greater variety of devices in our mid-range offering. I am also delighted that our strategy to target new mobile communications market segments is working well, as evidenced by the success of the Nokia N70 multimedia device: the highest revenue generator for Nokia this quarter and the world’s number one selling WCDMA device.”

 

OLLI-PEKKA KALLASVUO, PRESIDENT AND COO:

 

“The global device market is set for another year of good growth, with the market volume expected to increase 15% or more. This year we anticipate approximately 70% of industry volume growth to come from the emerging markets. We intend to maintain our leadership in these fastest growing markets, where being competitive in the lower priced entry level products is critical to Nokia’s future success. Our infrastructure business is also extremely important to our overall growth strategy, and we’re very pleased with the sales developments we see from this business group.”

 

INDUSTRY AND NOKIA OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2006

 

      Nokia expects industry mobile device volumes in the second quarter 2006 to be up sequentially.

      We expect Nokia’s device market share in the second quarter 2006 to be approximately at the same level sequentially.

      Sales in our networks business are expected to develop according to normal seasonality in the second quarter 2006.

      Nokia continues to expect the mobile device market volume to grow 15% or more in 2006, from our estimate of approximately 795 million units in 2005.

      We continue to expect the device industry to experience value growth in 2006, but expect some decline in industry ASPs, primarily reflecting the increasing impact of the emerging markets and competitive factors in general.

      Nokia continues to expect moderate growth in the mobile infrastructure market in euro terms in 2006.

      Nokia continues to target an increase in its 2006 market share in mobile devices and infrastructure.

 

Q1 2006 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

(Comparisons are given to the first quarter 2005 results, unless otherwise indicated.)

 

Nokia Group

 

Nokia’s first quarter 2006 net sales increased 29% to EUR 9.5 billion, compared with EUR 7.4 billion in the first quarter 2005. At constant currency, group net sales would have increased 23%.

 

Nokia’s first quarter 2006 operating profit grew 22% to EUR 1.4 billion (including the negative impact of special items of EUR 22 million), compared with EUR 1.1 billion in the first quarter 2005 (including the negative impact of special items of EUR 15 million). Nokia’s first quarter 2006 operating margin was 14.4% (15.1%).

 

Operating cash flow for the first quarter 2006 was EUR 1.0 billion, compared with EUR 1.3 billion for the first quarter 2005, and total combined cash and other liquid assets were EUR 9.0 billion, compared with EUR 9.9 billion at December 31, 2005.

Based on our preliminary market estimate, Nokia’s market share for the first quarter 2006 grew to 35%, compared with 32% in the first quarter 2005. Sequential market share was also up compared with 34% in the fourth quarter 2005. Nokia’s year-on-year market share increase was driven primarily by strong gains in China, North America, Latin America and Asia-Pacific, which more than offset market share declines in Middle East & Africa and in Europe. Sequential market share gains were driven by gains in Latin America, Middle East & Africa and China, partially offset by a market share decline in Europe.

 

Nokia’s average selling price in the first quarter 2006 was EUR 103, down from EUR 110 in the first quarter 2005, but increased from EUR 99 in the fourth quarter 2005. Nokia’s first quarter 2006 average selling price reflected a lower than expected proportion of lower priced entry-level products, together with an increased proportion of higher-end products in Nokia’s device sales compared with the fourth quarter 2005. The Nokia N70 multimedia computer was the highest revenue generating device in the first quarter 2006.

 

Mobile Phones: First quarter 2006 net sales grew 30% to EUR 5.9 billion, compared with EUR 4.5 billion in the first quarter 2005, driven by strong industry volumes and our competitive product portfolio. Net sales increased in all regions year on year. Growth was strongest in North America, where our net sales more than doubled.

 

Mobile Phones operating profit grew 25% to EUR 1 085 million, compared with EUR 869 million in the first quarter 2005, with an operating margin of 18.5% (19.2%). Operating profit growth in the first quarter 2006 was supported by strong net sales. First quarter 2006 operating profit included a EUR 14 million initial restructuring charge related to the planned formation of a new global company comprising the respective CDMA mobile device businesses of Nokia and SANYO Electric Co. Ltd.

 

Multimedia: First quarter 2006 net sales increased 55% to EUR 1.8 billion, compared with EUR 1.1 billion in the first quarter 2005. Net sales increased year on year in all regions except North America. Growth was strongest in China, where our net sales more than doubled, followed by Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Middle East & Africa, particularly driven by sales of the recently launched Nokia N70 multimedia computer. Net sales in North America and Latin America continued to be at a low level.

 

Multimedia first quarter operating profit grew 108% to EUR 323 million, compared with EUR 155 million in the first quarter 2005, with an operating margin of 18.4% (13.7%). First quarter 2005 operating profit included a EUR 15 million restructuring charge. Profitability in the first quarter 2006 was driven by strong sales in high-end multimedia computers and effective cost management.

 

Enterprise Solutions: First quarter 2006 net sales decreased 39% to EUR 186 million, compared with EUR 307 million in the first quarter 2005. Net sales were down in all regions except China and North America, and were adversely affected by the relative age of the device portfolio.

 

In the first quarter 2006, Enterprise Solutions had an operating loss of EUR 66 million, compared with an operating loss of EUR 9 million in the first quarter 2005. This was a result of lower net sales and a EUR 8 million restructuring charge primarily related to headcount reductions.

Networks

 

First quarter 2006 net sales increased 19% to EUR 1.7 billion, compared with EUR 1.4 billion in the first quarter 2005. Net sales increased in North America, followed by Middle East & Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and China, while net sales decreased in Europe. Sales growth was clearly spurred by ongoing subscriber growth in emerging markets.

 

Networks first quarter operating profit decreased 33% to EUR 149 million, compared with EUR 221 million in the first quarter 2005, with an operating margin of 8.8% (15.4%). Lower profitability was driven primarily by regional mix and strong price competition.
