OLLI-PEKKA KALLASVUO, NOKIA CEO:

“I’m encouraged by Nokia’s first quarter 2007 performance. Our profitability was strong, with both gross and operating margins up sequentially, excluding special items. We also saw good year on year device volume growth that led to an increase in our market share, further solidifying our number one position in the industry.

Our Multimedia business group achieved record net sales and operating margin in a seasonally challenging environment. Multimedia continues to lead in the convergence space, with close to eight million Nokia Nseries devices shipped during the quarter, including the ground-breaking Nokia N95 multimedia computer. Our Enterprise Solutions business group showed improved results, bolstered by sales of the new Nokia E65, and we are targeting break even for Enterprise Solutions in the second quarter 2007. Mobile Phones mid-range portfolio was strengthened by the Nokia 6300, which began initial shipments in the first quarter.

We’re excited that Nokia Siemens Networks started operations on April 1, 2007. We believe that this new company will have the scale, portfolio and innovation to assume a leading position in the communications infrastructure market.”

INDUSTRY AND NOKIA OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2007

·  Nokia expects industry mobile device volumes in the second quarter 2007 to be slightly up sequentially.

·  We expect Nokia’s device market share in the second quarter 2007 to be approximately at the same level sequentially.

·  Nokia continues to expect industry mobile device volumes in 2007 to grow by up to 10% from the approximately 978 million units Nokia estimates for 2006.

·  Nokia continues to expect the device industry to experience value growth in 2007, but expects some decline in industry ASPs, primarily reflecting the increasing impact of the emerging markets and competitive factors in general.

·  Nokia continues to target an increase in its market share in mobile devices in 2007.

·  Nokia continues to expect very slight market growth for the mobile and fixed infrastructure and related services market in euro terms in 2007.

Q1 2007 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

(Comparisons are given to the first quarter 2006 results, unless otherwise indicated.)

NOKIA GROUP

Nokia’s first quarter 2007 net sales increased 4% to EUR 9.9 billion, compared with EUR 9.5 billion in the first quarter 2006. At constant currency, group net sales would have increased 6%.

Nokia’s first quarter 2007 operating profit decreased 7% to EUR 1 272 million (including the negative impact of EUR 69 million in special items), compared with EUR 1 367 million in the first quarter 2006 (including the negative impact of EUR 22 million in special items). Nokia’s first quarter 2007 operating margin was 12.9% (14.4%) including the impact of the respective special items, and 13.6% (14.6%) excluding the special items.

Operating cash flow for the first quarter 2007 was EUR 1.6 billion, compared with EUR 1.0 billion for the first quarter 2006, and total combined cash and other liquid assets at March 31, 2007 were EUR 9.1 billion, compared with EUR 8.5 billion at December 31, 2006. At March 31, 2007, our net debt-equity ratio (gearing) was -72%, compared with -68% at December 31, 2006.

Mobile devices

In the first quarter 2007, the total mobile device volume achieved by our Mobile Phones, Multimedia and Enterprise Solutions business groups reached 91.1 million units, representing 21% year on year growth and a 14% sequential decrease. The overall industry volume for the same period reached an estimated 253 million units, representing 18% year on year growth and a 13% sequential decrease.

Converged device industry volumes increased to an estimated 23.5 million units, compared with an estimated 17 million units in the first quarter 2006. Nokia’s own converged device volumes rose to 11.8 million units, compared with 8.5 million units in the first quarter 2006.

Based on our preliminary market estimate, Nokia’s market share for the first quarter 2007 was 36%, compared with 35% in the first quarter 2006 and 36% in the fourth quarter 2006. Nokia’s year on year market share increase was driven primarily by strong gains in Asia-Pacific and Europe that more than offset a significant market share decline in North America. Year on year market share was approximately at the same level in China, Latin America and Middle East & Africa. Sequentially, Nokia’s market share was approximately at the same level as in fourth quarter 2006, globally as well as in each geographic area. The sequential decline in first quarter industry volumes was similar to previous years, however we believe there has been an impact in the market from the excess inventory of certain of our competitors’ products.

Nokia’s average selling price in the first quarter 2007 was EUR 89, down from EUR 103 in the first quarter 2006 and at the same level as in the fourth quarter 2006. The lower year on year ASP in the first quarter 2007 was primarily the result of a significantly higher proportion of entry-level device sales, where the industry growth especially in the emerging markets has been strong and where Nokia’s share has been growing. In addition, certain ageing higher end products in our portfolio were viewed as less competitive in various markets. Sequentially, first quarter 2007 ASPs were impacted by a higher percentage of entry-level device sales. That sequential development was offset by strong sales of our higher ASP devices, particularly from the Multimedia business group.

Business Groups

Mobile Phones: First quarter 2007 net sales decreased 5% to EUR 5.6 billion, compared with EUR 5.9 billion in the first quarter 2006. Strong overall volume growth was not enough to offset a significant ASP decline year on year, driven primarily by a higher proportion of entry-level sales. Net sales decreased in all regions except Asia-Pacific. Net sales were down significantly in North America and to a lesser degree in Latin America, Middle East & Africa, Europe and China.

Mobile Phones reported operating profit in the first quarter 2007 decreased 14% to EUR 936 million, compared with EUR 1.1 billion in the first quarter 2006, with an operating margin of 16.8% (18.5%). Reported first quarter 2007 operating profit included total charges of EUR 35 million, of which EUR 25 million was related to the restructuring of a subsidiary company and EUR 10 million was mainly related to restructuring in Customer and Market Operations. First quarter 2006 reported operating profit included a EUR 14 million initial restructuring charge for the CDMA business. Operating profit for the first quarter 2007 excluding the charges was EUR 971 million, with an operating margin of 17.4% (18.7%). The decrease in operating profit for the first quarter 2007, excluding the special items, was primarily caused by lower sales of higher end, higher margin devices, and an increase in sales and marketing expenses, compared to the first quarter 2006.

Multimedia: First quarter 2007 net sales increased 28% to EUR 2.3 billion, compared with EUR 1.8 billion in the first quarter 2006. Net sales increased year on year in all regions except North America, where net sales continued at a low level. Multimedia net sales year on year growth was fastest in Latin America and China. Net sales growth was driven by high volumes of Nokia Nseries multimedia computers, especially the Nokia N73 and Nokia N70, combined with a stable ASP year on year.

Multimedia reported operating profit in the first quarter 2007 grew 31% to EUR 424 million, compared with EUR 323 million in the first quarter 2006, with an operating margin of 18.8% (18.4%). Reported first quarter 2007 operating profit in Multimedia included restructuring charges of EUR 3 million. Operating profit for the first quarter 2007 excluding these

3




charges was EUR 427 million, with an operating margin of 19.0%. Operating profit growth in the first quarter 2007 was driven by strong net sales growth and effective operating cost control, compared to the first quarter 2006.

Enterprise Solutions: First quarter 2007 net sales increased 75% to EUR 326 million, compared with EUR 186 million in the first quarter 2006. Net sales increased year on year in all regions except North America and China, where net sales decreased. Enterprise Solutions net sales more than doubled year on year in Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Net sales were positively impacted by strong year on year volume growth of the Nokia Eseries.

In the first quarter 2007, Enterprise Solutions had a reported operating loss of EUR 38 million, compared with a reported operating loss of EUR 66 million in the first quarter 2006. The reported first quarter 2007 operating loss included restructuring charges of EUR 17 million. Excluding these charges, the operating loss for the first quarter 2007 was EUR 21 million. The reported first quarter 2006 operating loss included a EUR 8 million restructuring charge. The significantly improved operating performance for the first quarter 2007, excluding these charges, reflected strong net sales growth and effective operating cost control compared to the first quarter 2006.

Networks: First quarter 2007 net sales of EUR 1.7 billion was at the same level as the first quarter 2006. Net sales increased significantly in Middle East & Africa and to a lesser extent in Asia Pacific, China and Europe. Net sales declined significantly year on year in North America and to a lesser extent in Latin America.

Networks reported operating profit in the first quarter 2007 decreased 48% to EUR 78 million, compared with EUR 149 million in the first quarter 2006, with an operating margin of 4.6% (8.8%). Reported first quarter 2007 operating profit included a charge of EUR 12 million related to Nokia Siemens Networks incremental costs expensed during the quarter. Operating profit for the first quarter 2007 excluding these charges was EUR 90 million, with an operating margin of 5.3%. The decrease in operating profit in the first quarter 2007 was primarily caused by a greater proportion of sales from the emerging markets, a higher share of services sales, and continued pricing pressure in the industry.

These statements are based on management’s best assumptions and beliefs in light of the information currently available to it. Because they involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from the results that we currently expect. Factors that could cause these differences include, but are not limited to: 1) competitiveness of our product portfolio; 2) our ability to identify key market trends and to respond timely and successfully to the needs of our customers; 3) the extent of the growth of the mobile communications industry, as well as the growth and profitability of the new market segments within that industry which we target; 4) the availability of new products and services by network operators and other market participants; 5) our ability to successfully manage costs; 6) the intensity of competition in the mobile communications industry and our ability to maintain or improve our market position and respond successfully to changes in the competitive landscape; 7) the impact of changes in technology and our ability to develop or otherwise acquire complex technologies as required by the market, with full rights needed to use; 8) timely and successful commercialization of complex technologies as new advanced products and solutions; 9) our ability to protect the complex technologies, which we or others develop or that we license, from claims that we have infringed third parties’ intellectual property rights, as well as our unrestricted use on commercially acceptable terms of certain technologies in our products and solution offerings; 10) our ability to protect numerous Nokia patented, standardized, or proprietary technologies from third party infringement or actions to invalidate the intellectual property rights of these technologies; 11) our ability to manage efficiently our manufacturing and logistics, as well as to ensure the quality, safety, security and timely delivery of our products and solutions; 12) inventory management risks resulting from shifts in market demand; 13) our ability to source quality components and sub-assemblies without interruption and at acceptable prices; 14) Nokia’s and Siemens’ ability to successfully integrate the operations, personnel and supporting activities of their respective businesses as a result of the merger of Nokia’s networks business and Siemens’ carrier-related operations for fixed and mobile networks forming Nokia Siemens Networks; 15) whether, as a result of investigations into alleged violations of law by some current or former employees of Siemens, government authorities or others take actions against Siemens and/or its employees that may involve and affect the carrier-related assets and employees transferred by Siemens to Nokia Siemens Networks, or there may be undetected additional violations that may have occurred prior to the transfer, or ongoing violations that may occur after the transfer, of such assets and employees that could result in additional actions by government authorities; 16) the expense, time, attention and resources of Nokia Siemens Networks and our management to detect, investigate and resolve any situations related to alleged violations of law involving the assets and employees of Siemens carrier-related operations transferred to Nokia Siemens Networks; 17) any impairment of Nokia Siemens Networks customer relationships resulting from the ongoing government investigations involving the Siemens carrier-related operations transferred to Nokia Siemens Networks; 18) developments under large, multi-year contracts or in relation to major customers; 19) general economic conditions globally and, in particular, economic or political turmoil in emerging market countries where we do business; 20) our success in collaboration arrangements relating to development of technologies or new products and solutions; 21) the success, financial condition and performance of our collaboration partners, suppliers and customers; 22) any disruption to information technology systems and networks that our operations rely on; 23) exchange rate fluctuations, including, in particular, fluctuations between the euro, which is our reporting currency, and the US dollar, the Chinese yuan, the UK pound sterling and the Japanese yen, as well as certain other currencies; 24) the management of our customer financing exposure; 25) allegations of possible health risks from electromagnetic fields generated by base stations and mobile devices and lawsuits related to them, regardless of merit; 26) unfavorable outcome of litigations; 27) our ability to recruit, retain and develop appropriately skilled employees; and 28) the impact of changes in government policies, laws or regulations; as well as the risk factors specified on pages 12-24 of the company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2006 under “Item 3.D Risk Factors.” Other unknown or unpredictable factors or underlying assumptions subsequently proving to be incorrect could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Nokia does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required.
