Nokia Corporation Financial Report for Q2 and Half Year 2016

 

Solid financial performance and raised cost savings target

 

Nokia Corporation

Half Year Financial Report

August 4, 2016 at 08:00 (CET +1)

 

This is a summary of the Nokia Corporation financial report for Q2 and half year 2016 published today. The complete financial report for Q2 and half year 2016 with tables is available at http://nokia.com/financials. Investors should not rely on summaries of our financial reports only, but should review the complete financial reports with tables.

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

·                  Non-IFRS net sales in Q2 2016 of EUR 5.7 billion (reported: EUR 5.6 billion). In the year-ago quarter, non-IFRS net sales would have been EUR 6.4 billion on a comparable combined company basis (reported: EUR 2.9 billion on a Nokia stand-alone basis).

 

·                  Non-IFRS diluted EPS in Q2 2016 of EUR 0.03 (reported: EUR negative 0.12).

 

·                  Raised annual cost savings target to approximately EUR 1.2 billion of total annual cost savings to be achieved in full year 2018, compared to the combined non-IFRS operating costs of Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent for full year 2015, excluding Nokia Technologies. Related to this, Nokia recorded approximately EUR 600 million of restructuring and associated charges in the second quarter 2016.

 

Nokia’s Networks business

 

·                  11% year-on-year net sales decrease in Q2 2016. Consistent with our outlook for the wireless infrastructure market, net sales were weak in Mobile Networks within Ultra Broadband Networks, and accounted for approximately 80% of the overall decrease in Nokia’s Networks business. IP Networks and Applications also contributed to the decrease. This was partially offset by strong growth in Fixed Networks within Ultra Broadband Networks.

 

·                  In Q2 2016, solid gross margin of 37.4% and operating margin of 6.0% were adversely affected by a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery. Excluding this, gross margin would have been approximately 38% and operating margin would have been nearly 7%.

 

Nokia Technologies

 

·                  11% year-on-year net sales decrease in Q2 2016. Excluding the impact of non-recurring items that benefitted the year-ago quarter, Nokia Technologies net sales would have grown by approximately 10% year-on-year, primarily due to higher intellectual property licensing income from existing licensees.

 

·                  Announced an expansion of the patent cross license agreement with Samsung on July 13, 2016 to cover certain additional patent portfolios, reinforcing Nokia’s leadership in technologies for the programmable world. The expansion of the agreement occurred subsequent to the end of the second quarter 2016, and therefore did not impact the second quarter of 2016 financials. Instead, the expanded agreement will have a positive impact to Nokia Technologies starting from the third quarter of 2016. Nokia expects total annualized net sales related to patent and brand licensing to grow to a run rate of approximately EUR 950 million by the end of 2016.

(1)Results are as reported unless otherwise specified. The results information in this report is unaudited. Non-IFRS results exclude costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. For details, please refer to the Non-IFRS Exclusions section included in discussions of both the quarterly and year to date performance and note 2, “Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report. A reconciliation of the Q2 2015 non-IFRS combined company results to the reported results can be found in the “Nokia provides recast segment results for 2015 reflecting new financial reporting structure” stock exchange release published on April 22, 2016. Change in net sales at constant currency excludes the impact of changes in exchange rates in comparison to Euro, our reporting currency. For more information on currency exposures, please refer to note 1, “Basis of Preparation”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

 

(2) Combined company historicals reflect Nokia’s new operating and financial reporting structure, including Alcatel-Lucent, and are presented as additional information as described in the stock exchange release published on April 22, 2016. For more information on the combined company historicals, please refer to note 1, “Basis of Preparation”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

 

(3) Nokia standalone historicals are the recasting of Nokia’s historical standalone financial results, reflecting Nokia’s updated segment reporting structure, excluding Alcatel-Lucent. Beginning from the first quarter 2016, Nokia results include those of Alcatel-Lucent on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, Nokia results beginning from the first quarter 2016 are not directly comparable to prior period Nokia standalone results.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Nokia and Samsung expand their intellectual property cross license

 

On July 13, 2016, Nokia announced that Nokia and Samsung have agreed terms to expand their patent cross license agreement to cover certain additional patent portfolios of both parties. This agreement is in addition to the outcome of the arbitration between the two companies that was announced on February 1, 2016.

 

The agreement expands access for each company to patented technologies of the other and reinforces Nokia’s leadership in technologies for the programmable world. With this expansion, Nokia expects a positive impact to the net sales of Nokia Technologies starting from the third quarter of 2016.

 

With this expanded agreement, Nokia Technologies’ total annualized net sales related to patent and brand licensing is expected to grow to a run rate of approximately EUR 950 million by the end of 2016.

 

NON-IFRS RESULTS

 

Non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information regarding underlying business performance

 

In addition to information on our reported IFRS results, we provide certain information on a non-IFRS, or underlying business performance, basis. We believe that our non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokia’s underlying business performance by excluding the below-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.

 

Non-IFRS results exclude costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. The non-IFRS exclusions are not allocated to the segments, and hence they are reported only at the Nokia consolidated level.

 

CEO STATEMENT

 

Nokia’s second quarter results were largely as expected and reflect solid execution in the midst of a challenging market and the ongoing integration of Alcatel-Lucent. When we announced our first quarter results, I said that we did not expect to see typical seasonal patterns in the first half of the year, and that prediction proved to be correct. Net sales were slightly up sequentially in Q2, while operating margin was slightly down, in part reflecting a meaningful negative impact from one of our major customers in Latin America.

 

During the quarter we continued to make excellent progress in many areas. We moved rapidly forward with our integration and cost savings efforts; saw robust growth in our Fixed Networks business; announced the acquisition of Gainspeed in order to accelerate our progress with cable operators; closed the acquisition of Withings; reached a licensing deal that will see the Nokia brand return to smartphones and tablets; and more.

 

I was particularly pleased that the work done in the second quarter to reach an agreement with Samsung on an expanded intellectual property licensing deal came to fruition. After the arbitration results were announced in February, we said that there was still more to come from Samsung and have now delivered on that, with the related financial impact starting in the third quarter.

The decline of our topline remains a concern, and reflects challenging market conditions. While we do not expect those conditions to improve in the near term, we believe we are well-positioned given the scope of our portfolio, focus on operational discipline, strengthening sales execution, and opportunities in the evolution from 4G towards 5G.

 

In fact, we are already starting to work with customers to help them move to 5G-ready architectures in the core, with a focus on software-defined networking and cloud technologies. As this process takes place, we expect there to be further evolution of 4G radio including more carrier aggregation in order to meet demands for capacity, speed and spectrum utilization. Our AirScale radio platform, which can support different LTE-Advanced Pro (4.5G) technologies and is ‘5G ready,’ is ideally suited to this environment.

 

We crossed the 95% ownership threshold of Alcatel-Lucent in June, allowing us to move to acquire the remaining shares and reach full ownership of Alcatel-Lucent, which we expect by the end of October. As our successful integration work continues and as we get increased granular visibility into the business, our confidence in our ability to deliver cost savings also increases. As a result, we are now targeting EUR 1.2 billion in total cost savings to be achieved in full year 2018. We have also continued the strategic review of our submarine cable business to determine the best long-term resolution for that business.

 

While plenty of hard work remains in front of us, we are making good progress and expect to see slight sequential improvement in both net sales and operating margin in our Networks business from the second quarter to the third, followed by significant improvement from the third to the fourth quarter.

NOKIA IN Q2 2016 — NON-IFRS

 

FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

 

The following discussion is of Nokia’s results for the second quarter 2016, which comprise the results of Nokia’s businesses — Nokia’s Networks business and Nokia Technologies, as well as Group Common and Other. For more information on the recent changes to our reportable segments, please refer to note 3, “Segment information and eliminations”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report. Comparisons are given to the second quarter 2015 and first quarter 2016 results on a combined company basis, unless otherwise indicated.

 

This data has been prepared to reflect the financial results of the continuing operations of Nokia as if the new financial reporting structure had been in operation for the full year 2015. Certain accounting policy alignments, adjustments and reclassifications have been necessary, and these are explained in the “Basis of preparation” section of the stock exchange release published on April 22, 2016. These adjustments include also reallocation of items of costs and expenses based on their nature and changes to the definition of the line items in the combined company accounting policies, which affect also numbers presented in these interim financial statements for 2015. For more information on the combined company historicals, please refer to note 1, “Basis of Preparation”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

Non-IFRS Net sales

 

Nokia non-IFRS net sales decreased 11% year-on-year and increased 1% sequentially. On a constant currency basis, Nokia non-IFRS net sales would have decreased 9% year-on-year and increased 2% sequentially.

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

The year-on-year decrease in Nokia non-IFRS net sales in the second quarter 2016 was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business.

 

Sequential discussion

 

The sequential increase in Nokia non-IFRS net sales in the second quarter 2016 was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other.

 

Non-IFRS Operating profit

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

Nokia non-IFRS operating profit decreased primarily due to lower non-IFRS gross profit and a net negative fluctuation in non-IFRS other income and expenses, partially offset by lower non-IFRS research and development (“R&D”) expenses and non-IFRS selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.

 

The decrease in non-IFRS gross profit was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business and, to a lesser extent, Nokia Technologies, partially offset by Group Common and Other. In Q2 2016, non-IFRS gross profit was adversely affected by a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery, as revenue was deferred while the related costs of sale were expensed as incurred.

 

The decrease in non-IFRS R&D expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business and, to a lesser extent, Nokia Technologies and Group Common and Other.

 

The decrease in non-IFRS SG&A expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business and, to a lesser extent, Group Common and Other, partially offset by Nokia Technologies.

 

Nokia non-IFRS other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 41 million in the second quarter 2016, compared to an income of EUR 74 million in the year-ago quarter. On a year-on-year basis, the change was primarily due to the absence of realized gains and losses related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds. In Q2 2016, non-IFRS other income and expenses were adversely affected by a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery, as certain provisions were recorded due to the risk of asset impairment.

 

Sequential discussion

 

Nokia non-IFRS operating profit decreased primarily due to a net negative fluctuation in non-IFRS other income and expenses and higher non-IFRS SG&A expenses, partially offset by lower non-IFRS R&D expenses.

The increase in non-IFRS SG&A expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business and Nokia Technologies.

 

Nokia non-IFRS other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 41 million in the second quarter 2016, compared to an expense of EUR 15 million in the first quarter 2016. On a sequential basis, the change was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, as well as the absence of realized gains and losses related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds. In Q2 2016, non-IFRS other income and expenses were adversely affected by a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery, as certain provisions were recorded due to the risk of asset impairment.

 

NOKIA IN Q2 2016 — REPORTED

 

FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

 

Net sales

 

Nokia net sales increased 91% year-on-year, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, and increased 2% sequentially. On a constant currency basis, Nokia net sales would have increased 93% year-on-year, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, and 2% sequentially.

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

The year-on-year increase in Nokia net sales in the second quarter 2016, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, was primarily due to growth in Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other, primarily related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, partially offset by non-IFRS exclusions.

 

Sequential discussion

 

The sequential increase in Nokia net sales in the second quarter 2016 was primarily due to growth in Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other, as well as reduced negative impact related to purchase price allocation adjustment related to the reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.

 

Operating profit

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

In the second quarter 2016, Nokia generated an operating loss, compared to a Nokia standalone operating profit in the year-ago period. The change was primarily due to restructuring and associated charges and other net negative fluctuations in other income and expenses, higher R&D expenses and higher SG&A expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit, all of which related primarily to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

7



 

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business and, to a lesser extent, Group Common and Other, partially offset by non-IFRS exclusions related to deferred revenue and to a lesser extent, the absence of a benefit recorded in the year-ago quarter, which related to a correction of items previously reported as cost of sales and reductions to accounts receivable. In Q2 2016, gross profit was adversely affected by a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery, as revenue was deferred while the related costs of sale were expensed as incurred.

 

The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, non-IFRS exclusions related to amortization of intangible assets and, to a lesser extent, Group Common and Other.

 

The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, non-IFRS exclusions related to amortization of intangible assets, as well as transaction and integration related costs and, to a lesser extent, Group Common and Other and Nokia Technologies.

 

Nokia’s other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 643 million in the second quarter 2016, compared to an income of EUR 114 million in the year-ago period. The change was primarily related to non-IFRS exclusions attributable to higher restructuring and associated charges and, to a lesser extent, the absence of realized gains and losses related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds. In Q2 2016, other income and expenses were adversely affected by a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery, as certain provisions were recorded due to the risk of asset impairment.

 

Sequential discussion

 

Nokia operating profit decreased primarily due to restructuring and associated charges, partially offset by higher gross profit and, to a lesser extent, lower SG&A and R&D expenses.

 

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to lower non-IFRS exclusions related to the absence of an inventory revaluation as part of the Alcatel-Lucent purchase accounting, which negatively affected the first quarter 2016. In Q2 2016, gross profit was adversely affected by a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery, as revenue was deferred while the related costs of sale were expensed as incurred.

 

The decrease in R&D expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business.

 

The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to lower non-IFRS exclusions related to transaction and integration related costs.

 

Nokia’s other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 643 million in the second quarter 2016, compared to an expense of EUR 40 million in the first quarter 2016. The increase was primarily related to non-IFRS exclusions attributable to recognition of restructuring and associated charges related to the overall cost savings program. In Q2 2016, other income and expenses were adversely affected by a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery, as certain provisions were recorded due to the risk of asset impairment.

 

Descriptions of non-IFRS exclusions in Q2 2016

 

Non-IFRS exclusions consist of costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. For additional details, please refer to note 2, “Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

(1)Nokia standalone historicals are the recasting of Nokia’s historical standalone financial results, reflecting Nokia’s updated segment reporting structure, excluding Alcatel-Lucent. Beginning from the first quarter 2016, Nokia results include those of Alcatel-Lucent on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, Nokia results beginning from the first quarter 2016 are not directly comparable to prior period Nokia standalone results.

 

Net sales

 

In the second quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in net sales amounted to EUR 93 million, and related to purchase price allocation adjustment related to the reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.

 

Operating profit

 

In the second quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit amounted to EUR 1 092 million, and were attributable to non-IFRS exclusions that negatively affected gross profit, R&D, SG&A and other income and expenses as follows:

 

In the second quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in gross profit amounted to EUR 174 million, and primarily related to the deferred revenue and, to a lesser extent, product portfolio integration related costs resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

In the second quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in R&D expenses amounted to EUR 162 million, and primarily related to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

In the second quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in SG&A expenses amounted to EUR 154 million, and primarily related to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, as well as transaction and integration related costs.

In the second quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in other income and expenses amounted to EUR 602 million, and primarily related to EUR 596 million of restructuring and associated charges for Nokia’s cost reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives.

 

Cost savings program

 

The following table summarizes the financial information related to our cost savings program, as of the end of the second quarter 2016. Balances related to previous Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent restructuring and cost savings programs have been included as part of this overall cost savings program.

Annual cost savings for Nokia, excluding Nokia Technologies

 

Approximately EUR 1.2 billion of total annual cost savings to be achieved in full year 2018 (update)

 

Compared to the combined non-IFRS operating costs of Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent for full year 2015, excluding Nokia Technologies.

 

Under this expanded cost savings program, restructuring and associated charges are expected to total approximately EUR 1.2 billion, of which approximately EUR 600 million was recorded in Q2 2016.

 

Related restructuring and associated cash outflows are expected to total approximately EUR 1.65 billion, which includes the

 

10



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

approximately EUR 450 million balance of restructuring and associated cash outflows that were provisioned for but not yet paid as of the beginning of Q2 2016, related to previous Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent restructuring and cost savings programs.

 

In addition to the above amounts, note that Nokia’s overall charges and cash outflows will also include amounts related to network equipment swaps. The charges related to network equipment swaps will be recorded as non-IFRS exclusions, and therefore will not affect Nokia’s non-IFRS operating profit.

 

This is an update to the earlier outlook for above EUR 900 million of net operating cost synergies to be achieved in full year 2018.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FY16 Non-IFRS financial income and expense

 

Expense of approximately EUR 300 million

 

Primarily includes net interest expenses related to interest-bearing liabilities, interest costs related to the defined benefit pension and other post-employment benefit plans, as well as the impact from changes in foreign exchange rates on certain balance sheet items. This outlook may vary subject to changes in the above listed items.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FY16 Non-IFRS tax rate

 

Above 40% for full year 2016

 

The increase in the non-IFRS tax rate for the combined company, compared to Nokia on a standalone basis, is primarily attributable to unfavorable changes in the regional profit mix as a result of the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent. This outlook is for full year 2016; the quarterly non-IFRS tax rate is expected to be subject to volatility, primarily influenced by fluctuations in profits made by Nokia in different tax jurisdictions. Nokia expects its effective long-term non-IFRS tax rate to be clearly below the full year 2016 level, and intends to provide further commentary later in 2016.

·             A flattish capital expenditure environment in 2016 for our overall addressable market;

·             A declining wireless infrastructure market in 2016;

·             Significant focus on the integration of Alcatel-Lucent, particularly in the first half of 2016;

·             Slight QoQ net sales growth and operating margin expansion in Q3 2016;

·             Significant QoQ net sales growth and operating margin expansion in Q4 2016;

·             Competitive industry dynamics;

·             Product and regional mix;

·             The timing of major network deployments; and

·             Execution of synergy plans.

 

This is an update to the earlier FY16 operating margin guidance of above 7%.

FY16 Net sales

 

Not provided

 

Due to risks and uncertainties in determining the timing and value of significant licensing agreements, Nokia believes it is not appropriate to provide an annual outlook for fiscal year 2016. Nokia expects annualized net sales related to patent and brand licensing to grow to a run rate of approximately EUR 950 million by the end of 2016. License agreements which currently contribute approximately EUR 150 million to the annualized net sales run rate are set to expire before the end of 2016. If we do not renew these license agreements, nor sign any new licensing agreements, the annualized net sales run rate would be approximately EUR 800 million in early 2017.  Furthermore, the contribution of the Withings acquisition to Nokia Technologies net sales is expected to be approximately EUR 50 million in the second half of 2016, with strong Q4 seasonality. The contribution of the acquisition to Nokia Technologies operating profit is expected to be slightly negative for the second half of 2016.

Financial Report for Q2 and Half Year 2016

 

Solid financial performance and raised cost savings target

 

Financial highlights

 

·             Non-IFRS net sales in Q2 2016 of EUR 5.7 billion (reported: EUR 5.6 billion). In the year-ago quarter, non-IFRS net sales would have been EUR 6.4 billion on a comparable combined company basis (reported: EUR 2.9 billion on a Nokia stand-alone basis).

 

·             Non-IFRS diluted EPS in Q2 2016 of EUR 0.03 (reported: EUR negative 0.12).

 

·             Raised annual cost savings target to approximately EUR 1.2 billion of total annual cost savings to be achieved in full year 2018, compared to the combined non-IFRS operating costs of Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent for full year 2015, excluding Nokia Technologies. Related to this, Nokia recorded approximately EUR 600 million of restructuring and associated charges in the second quarter 2016.

 

Nokia’s Networks business

 

·             11% year-on-year net sales decrease in Q2 2016. Consistent with our outlook for the wireless infrastructure market, net sales were weak in Mobile Networks within Ultra Broadband Networks, and accounted for approximately 80% of the overall decrease in Nokia’s Networks business. IP Networks and Applications also contributed to the decrease. This was partially offset by strong growth in Fixed Networks within Ultra Broadband Networks.

 

·             In Q2 2016, solid gross margin of 37.4% and operating margin of 6.0% were adversely affected by a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery. Excluding this, gross margin would have been approximately 38% and operating margin would have been nearly 7%.

 

Nokia Technologies

 

·             11% year-on-year net sales decrease in Q2 2016. Excluding the impact of non-recurring items that benefitted the year-ago quarter, Nokia Technologies net sales would have grown by approximately 10% year-on-year, primarily due to higher intellectual property licensing income from existing licensees.

 

·             Announced an expansion of the patent cross license agreement with Samsung on July 13, 2016 to cover certain additional patent portfolios, reinforcing Nokia’s leadership in technologies for the programmable world. The expansion of the agreement occurred subsequent to the end of the second quarter 2016, and therefore did not impact the second quarter of 2016 financials. Instead, the expanded agreement will have a positive impact to Nokia Technologies starting from the third quarter of 2016. Nokia expects total annualized net sales related to patent and brand licensing to grow to a run rate of approximately EUR 950 million by the end of 2016.

(1)Results are as reported unless otherwise specified. The results information in this report is unaudited. Non-IFRS results exclude costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. For details, please refer to the Non-IFRS Exclusions section included in discussions of both the quarterly and year to date performance and note 2, “Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report. A reconciliation of the Q2 2015 non-IFRS combined company results to the reported results can be found in the “Nokia provides recast segment results for 2015 reflecting new financial reporting structure” stock exchange release published on April 22, 2016. Change in net sales at constant currency excludes the impact of changes in exchange rates in comparison to Euro, our reporting currency.

(3)Nokia standalone historicals are the recasting of Nokia’s historical standalone financial results, reflecting Nokia’s updated segment reporting structure, excluding Alcatel-Lucent. Beginning from the first quarter 2016, Nokia results include those of Alcatel-Lucent on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, Nokia results beginning from the first quarter 2016 are not directly comparable to prior period Nokia standalone results.

 

Subsequent events

 

Nokia and Samsung expand their intellectual property cross license

 

On July 13, 2016, Nokia announced that Nokia and Samsung have agreed terms to expand their patent cross license agreement to cover certain additional patent portfolios of both parties. This agreement is in addition to the outcome of the arbitration between the two companies that was announced on February 1, 2016.

 

The agreement expands access for each company to patented technologies of the other and reinforces Nokia’s leadership in technologies for the programmable world. With this expansion, Nokia expects a positive impact to the net sales of Nokia Technologies starting from the third quarter of 2016.

 

With this expanded agreement, Nokia Technologies’ total annualized net sales related to patent and brand licensing is expected to grow to a run rate of approximately EUR 950 million by the end of 2016.

 

Non-IFRS results

 

Non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information regarding underlying business performance

 

In addition to information on our reported IFRS results, we provide certain information on a non-IFRS, or underlying business performance, basis. We believe that our non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokia’s underlying business performance by excluding the below-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.

 

Non-IFRS results exclude costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. The non-IFRS exclusions are not allocated to the segments, and hence they are reported only at the Nokia consolidated level.

CEO statement

 

Nokia’s second quarter results were largely as expected and reflect solid execution in the midst of a challenging market and the ongoing integration of Alcatel-Lucent. When we announced our first quarter results, I said that we did not expect to see typical seasonal patterns in the first half of the year, and that prediction proved to be correct. Net sales were slightly up sequentially in Q2, while operating margin was slightly down, in part reflecting a meaningful negative impact from one of our major customers in Latin America.

 

During the quarter we continued to make excellent progress in many areas. We moved rapidly forward with our integration and cost savings efforts; saw robust growth in our Fixed Networks business; announced the acquisition of Gainspeed in order to accelerate our progress with cable operators; closed the acquisition of Withings; reached a licensing deal that will see the Nokia brand return to smartphones and tablets; and more.

 

I was particularly pleased that the work done in the second quarter to reach an agreement with Samsung on an expanded intellectual property licensing deal came to fruition. After the arbitration results were announced in February, we said that there was still more to come from Samsung and have now delivered on that, with the related financial impact starting in the third quarter.

 

The decline of our topline remains a concern, and reflects challenging market conditions. While we do not expect those conditions to improve in the near term, we believe we are well-positioned given the scope of our portfolio, focus on operational discipline, strengthening sales execution, and opportunities in the evolution from 4G towards 5G.

 

In fact, we are already starting to work with customers to help them move to 5G-ready architectures in the core, with a focus on software-defined networking and cloud technologies. As this process takes place, we expect there to be further evolution of 4G radio including more carrier aggregation in order to meet demands for capacity, speed and spectrum utilization. Our AirScale radio platform, which can support different LTE-Advanced Pro (4.5G) technologies and is ‘5G ready,’ is ideally suited to this environment.

 

We crossed the 95% ownership threshold of Alcatel-Lucent in June, allowing us to move to acquire the remaining shares and reach full ownership of Alcatel-Lucent, which we expect by the end of October. As our successful integration work continues and as we get increased granular visibility into the business, our confidence in our ability to deliver cost savings also increases. As a result, we are now targeting EUR 1.2 billion in total cost savings to be achieved in full year 2018. We have also

continued the strategic review of our submarine cable business to determine the best long-term resolution for that business.

 

While plenty of hard work remains in front of us, we are making good progress and expect to see slight sequential improvement in both net sales and operating margin in our Networks business from the second quarter to the third, followed by significant improvement from the third to the fourth quarter.

Nokia in Q2 2016 — Non-IFRS

 

 

 

Financial discussion

 

The following discussion is of Nokia’s results for the second quarter 2016, which comprise the results of Nokia’s businesses — Nokia’s Networks business and Nokia Technologies, as well as Group Common and Other. For more information on the recent changes to our reportable segments, please refer to note 3, “Segment information and eliminations”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report. Comparisons are given to the second quarter 2015 and first quarter 2016 results on a combined company basis, unless otherwise indicated.

 

This data has been prepared to reflect the financial results of the continuing operations of Nokia as if the new financial reporting structure had been in operation for the full year 2015. Certain accounting policy alignments, adjustments and reclassifications have been necessary, and these are explained in the “Basis of preparation” section of the stock exchange release published on April 22, 2016. These adjustments include also reallocation of items of costs and expenses based on their nature and changes to the definition of the line items in the combined company accounting policies, which affect also numbers presented in these interim financial statements for 2015. For more information on the combined company historicals, please refer to note 1, “Basis of Preparation”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

 

Non-IFRS Net sales

 

Nokia non-IFRS net sales decreased 11% year-on-year and increased 1% sequentially. On a constant currency basis, Nokia non-IFRS net sales would have decreased 9% year-on-year and increased 2% sequentially.

Year-on-year discussion

 

The year-on-year decrease in Nokia non-IFRS net sales in the second quarter 2016 was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business.

 

Sequential discussion

 

The sequential increase in Nokia non-IFRS net sales in the second quarter 2016 was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other.

 

Non-IFRS Operating profit

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

Nokia non-IFRS operating profit decreased primarily due to lower non-IFRS gross profit and a net negative fluctuation in non-IFRS other income and expenses, partially offset by lower non-IFRS research and development (“R&D”) expenses and non-IFRS selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.

 

The decrease in non-IFRS gross profit was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business and, to a lesser extent, Nokia Technologies, partially offset by Group Common and Other. In Q2 2016, non-IFRS gross profit was adversely affected by a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery, as revenue was deferred while the related costs of sale were expensed as incurred.

 

The decrease in non-IFRS R&D expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business and, to a lesser extent, Nokia Technologies and Group Common and Other.

 

The decrease in non-IFRS SG&A expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business and, to a lesser extent, Group Common and Other, partially offset by Nokia Technologies.

 

Nokia non-IFRS other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 41 million in the second quarter 2016, compared to an income of EUR 74 million in the year-ago quarter. On a year-on-year basis, the change was primarily due to the absence of realized gains and losses related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds. In Q2 2016, non-IFRS other income and expenses were adversely affected by a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery, as certain provisions were recorded due to the risk of asset impairment.

Nokia in Q2 2016 — Reported

 

 

 

Financial discussion

 

Net sales

 

Nokia net sales increased 91% year-on-year, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, and increased 2% sequentially. On a constant currency basis, Nokia net sales would have increased 93% year-on-year, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, and 2% sequentially.

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

The year-on-year increase in Nokia net sales in the second quarter 2016, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, was primarily due to growth in Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other, primarily related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, partially offset by non-IFRS exclusions.

 

Sequential discussion

 

The sequential increase in Nokia net sales in the second quarter 2016 was primarily due to growth in Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other, as well as reduced negative impact related to purchase price allocation adjustment related to the reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.

Operating profit

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

In the second quarter 2016, Nokia generated an operating loss, compared to a Nokia standalone operating profit in the year-ago period. The change was primarily due to restructuring and associated charges and other net negative fluctuations in other income and expenses, higher R&D expenses and higher SG&A expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit, all of which related primarily to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business and, to a lesser extent, Group Common and Other, partially offset by non-IFRS exclusions related to deferred revenue and to a lesser extent, the absence of a benefit recorded in the year-ago quarter, which related to a correction of items previously reported as cost of sales and reductions to accounts receivable. In Q2 2016, gross profit was adversely affected by a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery, as revenue was deferred while the related costs of sale were expensed as incurred.

 

The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, non-IFRS exclusions related to amortization of intangible assets and, to a lesser extent, Group Common and Other.

 

The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, non-IFRS exclusions related to amortization of intangible assets, as well as transaction and integration related costs and, to a lesser extent, Group Common and Other and Nokia Technologies.

 

Nokia’s other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 643 million in the second quarter 2016, compared to an income of EUR 114 million in the year-ago period. The change was primarily related to non-IFRS exclusions attributable to higher restructuring and associated charges and, to a lesser extent, the absence of realized gains and losses related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds. In Q2 2016, other income and expenses were adversely affected by a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery, as certain provisions were recorded due to the risk of asset impairment.

 

Sequential discussion

 

Nokia operating profit decreased primarily due to restructuring and associated charges, partially offset by higher gross profit and, to a lesser extent, lower SG&A and R&D expenses.

 

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to lower non-IFRS exclusions related to the absence of an inventory revaluation as part of the Alcatel-Lucent purchase accounting, which negatively affected the first quarter 2016.

Annual cost savings for Nokia, excluding Nokia Technologies

 

Approximately EUR 1.2 billion of total annual cost savings to be achieved in full year 2018 (update)

 

Compared to the combined non-IFRS operating costs of Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent for full year 2015, excluding Nokia Technologies.

 

Under this expanded cost savings program, restructuring and associated charges are expected to total approximately EUR 1.2 billion, of which approximately EUR 600 million was recorded in Q2 2016.

 

Related restructuring and associated cash outflows are expected to total approximately EUR 1.65 billion, which includes the approximately EUR 450 million balance of restructuring and associated cash outflows that were provisioned for but not yet paid as of the beginning of Q2 2016, related to previous Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent restructuring and cost savings programs.

 

In addition to the above amounts, note that Nokia’s overall charges and cash outflows will also include amounts related to network equipment swaps. The charges related to network equipment swaps will be recorded as non-IFRS exclusions, and therefore will not affect Nokia’s non-IFRS operating profit.

 

This is an update to the earlier outlook for above EUR 900 million of net operating cost synergies to be achieved in full year 2018.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FY16 Non-IFRS financial income and expense

 

Expense of approximately EUR 300 million

 

Primarily includes net interest expenses related to interest-bearing liabilities, interest costs related to the defined benefit pension and other post-employment benefit plans, as well as the impact from changes in foreign exchange rates on certain balance sheet items. This outlook may vary subject to changes in the above listed items.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FY16 Non-IFRS tax rate

 

Above 40% for full year 2016

 

The increase in the non-IFRS tax rate for the combined company, compared to Nokia on a standalone basis, is primarily attributable to unfavorable changes in the regional profit mix as a result of the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent. This outlook is for full year 2016; the quarterly non-IFRS tax rate is expected to be subject to volatility, primarily influenced by fluctuations in profits made by Nokia in different tax jurisdictions. Nokia expects its effective long-term non-IFRS tax rate to be clearly below the full year 2016 level, and intends to provide further commentary later in 2016.

FY16 Net sales

 

Not provided

 

Due to risks and uncertainties in determining the timing and value of significant licensing agreements, Nokia believes it is not appropriate to provide an annual outlook for fiscal year 2016. Nokia expects annualized net sales related to patent and brand licensing to grow to a run rate of approximately EUR 950 million by the end of 2016. License agreements which currently contribute approximately EUR 150 million to the annualized net sales run rate are set to expire before the end of 2016. If we do not renew these license agreements, nor sign any new licensing agreements, the annualized net sales run rate would be approximately EUR 800 million in early 2017.  Furthermore, the contribution of the Withings acquisition to Nokia Technologies net sales is expected to be approximately EUR 50 million in the second half of 2016, with strong Q4 seasonality. The contribution of the acquisition to Nokia Technologies operating profit is expected to be slightly negative for the second half of 2016.

IMPACT handles data collection, event processing, device management, data contextualization, data analytics, end-to-end security and applications enablement for any device, any protocol and across any application.

 

Nokia announced Real-Time Mobile Network Analytics, the industry’s first solution to give operators an end-to-end view of mobile networks from individual subscribers, applications, devices and operating systems, network elements, cells and calls. This new approach enables operators to have a more holistic and comprehensive view of their subscribers enabling more proactive network management.

demonstrated how existing cable systems can be used to deliver symmetrical ultra-broadband access services. This will enable operators to more effectively bring ultra-broadband services to consumer locations that were not physically or economically viable unless fiber was brought all the way to the residence. XG-CABLE will also provide operators with greater agility in how they use and manage their spectrum.

 

Nokia launched the Dynamic Diameter Engine (DDE). This cloud-based solution simplifies, scales and secures control plane traffic in mobile and fixed networks, which is important as operators prepare to handle the new signaling requirements of IoT (Internet of Things) and VoLTE (Voice over LTE). Nokia DDE is the industry’s first virtualized solution to incorporate Nokia’s Agile Rules Technology (A.R.T.). Backed by more than 150 patents, A.R.T. helps operators apply intelligent rules and ensure performance in complex signaling control scenarios.

30



 

Year-on-year discussion

 

The year-on-year decrease in IP Networks and Applications net sales in the second quarter 2016 was due to both IP/Optical Networks and Applications & Analytics.

 

The decrease in IP/Optical Networks net sales was due to both IP routing and optical networks. Slightly less than half of the overall year-on-year net sales decrease in IP routing was attributable to lower resale of third party IP routers, particularly in Europe. In addition, IP routing decreased in North America due to lower spending by Tier 1 customers, partially offset by higher spending by Tier 1 customers in Greater China and Asia-Pacific. In the second quarter of 2016, optical networks was adversely affected by the timing of projects primarily in Middle East & Africa.

 

The decrease in Applications & Analytics net sales was due to declines across all business lines, and was affected by the timing of large projects in North America.

 

Sequential discussion

 

The sequential decrease in IP Networks and Applications net sales in the second quarter 2016 was primarily due to Applications & Analytics and, to a lesser extent, the negative impact related to a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery.

 

The slight decrease in IP/Optical Networks net sales was due to both IP routing and optical networks. Excluding only the negative impact from lower resale of third party IP routers, net sales in IP routing would have grown slightly on a sequential basis. Excluding only the negative impact related to a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery, net sales in IP/Optical Networks would have been approximately flat.

 

The decrease in Applications & Analytics net sales was primarily due to declines across all business lines, with the exception of services, and was affected by the timing of large projects in North America.

 

Operating profit

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

On a year-on-year basis, in the second quarter 2016, IP Networks and Applications operating profit decreased primarily due to lower gross profit.

 

The decrease in IP Networks and Applications gross profit was primarily due to Applications & Analytics and, to a lesser extent, IP/Optical Networks. The decrease in gross profit in Applications & Analytics was due to lower net sales and lower gross margin, both of which were primarily related to lower volumes in North America. The decrease in gross profit in IP/Optical Networks was primarily due to lower net sales.

 

Sequential discussion

 

On a sequential basis, in the second quarter 2016, IP Networks and Applications operating profit decreased primarily due to lower gross profit, partially offset by lower R&D expenses. Excluding the negative impact related to a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery, operating profit in IP Networks and Applications would have been approximately flat.

Financial discussion

 

Net sales

 

In Q2 2016, Nokia Technologies net sales decreased 11% year-on-year and 2% sequentially, on a reported, as well as constant currency, basis.

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

The year-on-year decrease in Nokia Technologies net sales in the second quarter 2016 was primarily due to the absence of non-recurring net sales and an IPR divestment, both of which benefitted the second quarter 2015. Excluding these non-recurring items, Nokia Technologies net sales would have grown by approximately 10% year-on-year, primarily due to higher intellectual property licensing income from existing licensees and, to a lesser extent, the net sales resulting from the acquisition of Withings S.A., which closed on May 31, 2016. This was partially offset by lower licensing income from certain existing licensees that experienced decreases in handset sales.

 

Sequential discussion

The decrease in Nokia Technologies gross profit was primarily due to lower net sales and, to a lesser extent, higher cost of sales related to digital health and digital media.

 

The decrease in Nokia Technologies R&D expenses was primarily due to the focusing of general research investments towards more specific opportunities and lower patent portfolio costs, partially offset by higher investments in the areas of digital media and digital health.

 

The increase in Nokia Technologies SG&A expenses was primarily due to the ramp-up of new businesses and higher business support costs.

Financial discussion

 

Net sales

 

Group Common and Other net sales increased 7% year-on-year and 15% sequentially. On a constant currency basis, Group Common and Other net sales would have increased 3% year-on-year and 16% sequentially.

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

The year-on-year increase in Group Common and Other net sales in the second quarter 2016 was primarily due to Alcatel Submarine Networks, partially offset by Radio Frequency Systems.

 

Sequential discussion

 

The sequential increase in Group Common and Other net sales in the second quarter 2016 was due to both Radio Frequency Systems and Alcatel Submarine Networks.

 

Operating profit

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

On a year-on-year basis, in the second quarter 2016, Group Common and Other had an operating loss, compared to an operating profit in the year-ago quarter. The change was primarily due to a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit.

 

The increase in Group Common and Other gross profit was primarily due to Alcatel Submarine Networks, partially offset by Radio Frequency Systems.

 

Group Common and Other other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 7 million in the second quarter 2016, compared to an income of EUR 110 million in the year-ago quarter. On a year-on-year basis, the change was primarily due to the absence of realized gains and losses related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds.

Net cash and other liquid assets equals total cash and other liquid assets less long-term interest-bearing liabilities and less short-term interest-bearing liabilities. For details, please refer to note 15, “Notes to the consolidated statement of cash flows”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

(2)Beginning from the first quarter 2016, Nokia results include those of Alcatel-Lucent on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, Nokia results beginning from the first quarter 2016 are not directly comparable to prior period Nokia standalone results.

 

In the second quarter 2016, Nokia’s total cash and other liquid assets decreased by EUR 1 499 million and Nokia’s net cash and other liquid assets decreased by EUR 1 169 million. Nokia’s total cash and other liquid assets decreased EUR 330 million more than Nokia’s net cash and other liquid assets, primarily due to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent convertible bonds, which resulted in a decrease in both Nokia’s total cash and other liquid assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the debt portion, however no change in net cash.

 

Foreign exchange rates had an approximately EUR 90 million negative impact on net cash.

 

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

 

In the second quarter 2016, Nokia’s net cash from operating activities was approximately negative EUR 620 million:

 

 

40



 

·             Nokia’s adjusted net profit before changes in net working capital was EUR 394 million in the second quarter 2016.

 

·             Total cash outflows related to working capital were approximately EUR 890 million.

 

·                  Nokia had approximately EUR 80 million of restructuring and associated cash outflows in the second quarter 2016, primarily related to previous cost savings programs. Excluding this, net working capital generated a decrease in net cash of approximately EUR 810 million, primarily due to a decrease in short-term liabilities and an increase in inventories, partially offset by decrease in receivables.

 

·                  The cash outflows related to the decrease in short-term liabilities of approximately EUR 930 million were primarily due to the payment on incentives related to Alcatel-Lucent’s and Nokia’s strong business performance in 2015.

 

·                  The cash outflows related to the increase in inventories were approximately EUR 100 million, consistent with seasonality.

 

·                  The cash inflows related to the decrease in receivables were approximately EUR 220 million, consistent with seasonality.

 

·                  Excluding the payment of incentives related to 2015 and restructuring and associated cash outflows, net working capital would have been approximately flat on a sequential basis.

 

·             In addition, Nokia’s cash outflows related to income taxes were approximately EUR 120 million.

 

In the second quarter 2016, Nokia’s net cash outflows from investing activities primarily related to decreases in net cash of approximately EUR 190 million due to the acquisition of businesses and approximately EUR 100 million due to capital expenditures.

 

In the second quarter 2016, Nokia’s net cash outflows from financing activities primarily related to a decrease in net cash of approximately EUR 140 million related to the purchase of Alcatel-Lucent shares and the equity component of the purchased Alcatel-Lucent convertible bonds.

 

On June 16, 2016, Nokia’s Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) resolved to distribute an ordinary dividend of EUR 0.16 per share for financial year 2015. In addition the AGM resolved to distribute a special dividend of EUR 0.10 per share. The dividends approved on June 16, 2016 were not paid in the second quarter 2016, but instead were paid during July 2016.

Financial discussion

 

Net sales

 

In the first six months of 2016, Nokia net sales increased 89% year-on-year on a reported, as well as constant currency, basis.

 

The year-on-year increase in Nokia net sales in the first six months of 2016 was primarily due to growth in Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other, primarily related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, partially offset by a decline in Nokia Technologies, as well as non-IFRS exclusions.

 

Operating profit

 

In the first six months of 2016, Nokia generated an operating loss, compared to an operating profit in the year-ago period, primarily due to higher R&D expenses and SG&A expenses and a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit.

 

43



 

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, partially offset by non-IFRS exclusions related to valuation of deferred revenue and inventory, which related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business and non-IFRS exclusions related to amortization of intangible assets, which related primarily to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business and non-IFRS exclusions related to transaction and integration related costs, as well as amortization of intangible assets, all of which related primarily to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

Nokia’s other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 683 million in the first six months of 2016, compared to an income of EUR 95 million in the year-ago period. The change was primarily related to non-IFRS exclusions attributable to higher restructuring and associated charges and, to a lesser the extent, the absence of realized gains and losses related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds.

 

(Loss)/profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent

 

In the first six months of 2016, Nokia generated a loss attributable to the shareholders of the parent, compared to a profit in the year-ago period, primarily due to the operating loss in the current period, compared to an operating profit in the year-ago period, and a net negative fluctuation in financial income and expenses, both of which related primarily to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent. This was partially offset by an income tax benefit, resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, compared to an income tax expense in the year-ago-period. In addition, non-controlling interests were higher as a result of the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

The net negative fluctuation in financial income and expenses in the first six months of 2016 was primarily due to higher interest expenses and non-IFRS exclusions related to the early redemption of Alcatel-Lucent high yield bonds and, to a lesser extent, a non-cash impairment of a financial asset. This was partially offset by realized gains and losses related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds.

 

The income tax benefit was primarily related to non-IFRS exclusions.

 

As a result of the Alcatel-Lucent acquisition, non-controlling interests grew, and a smaller proportion of the reported loss was attributable to the shareholders of the parent. The non-controlling interests relate primarily to Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell and the remaining minority shareholders of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

Descriptions of non-IFRS exclusions in the first six months of 2016

 

Non-IFRS exclusions consist of costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. For additional details, please refer to note 2, “Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

Net sales

 

In the first six months of 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in net sales amounted to EUR 197 million, and related to purchase price allocation adjustment related to the reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.

 

Operating profit

 

In the first six months of 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit amounted to EUR 2 149 million, and were attributable to non-IFRS exclusions that negatively affected gross profit, R&D, SG&A and other income and expenses as follows:

 

In the first six months of 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in gross profit amounted to EUR 825 million, and primarily related to the increased valuation of inventory that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition. This increased valuation resulted in non-recurring higher cost of sales and lower gross profit, when the inventory was sold. In addition, the non-IFRS exclusions from gross profit included product portfolio integration related costs resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

In the first six months of 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in R&D expenses amounted to EUR 319 million, and primarily related to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

In the first six months of 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in SG&A expenses amounted to EUR 378 million, and primarily related to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent transaction, as well as integration related costs.

 

45



 

In the first six months of 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in other income and expenses amounted to an expense of EUR 627 million, and primarily related to EUR 619 million of restructuring and associated charges.

 

Profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent

 

In the first six months of 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent amounted to EUR 1 541 million, and was primarily related to the non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit. In addition, non-IFRS exclusions affected financial income and expenses and income taxes as follows:

 

In the first six months of 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in financial income and expenses amounted to an expense of EUR 39 million, and primarily related to the early redemption of the Alcatel-Lucent 2017 and 2020 high yield bonds in February 2016.

 

In the first six months of 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in income taxes amounted to a benefit of EUR 540 million, and related to non-IFRS exclusions, which resulted in a lower profit before tax.

Financial discussion

 

Net sales

 

In the first six months of 2016, Nokia Technologies net sales decreased 15% year-on-year on a reported, as well as constant currency, basis.

 

54



 

The year-on-year decrease in Nokia Technologies net sales in the first six months of 2016 was primarily due to the absence of non-recurring adjustments to accrued net sales from existing and new agreements, revenue share related to previously divested intellectual property rights, and intellectual property rights divested in the first six months of 2015, as well as lower licensing income from certain existing licensees that experienced decreases in handset sales. This was partially offset by higher intellectual property licensing income from existing and new licensees.

 

Operating profit

 

The year-on-year decrease in Nokia Technologies operating profit for the first six months of 2016 was primarily due to lower gross profit and, to a lesser extent, higher SG&A expenses.

 

The flat R&D expenses in Nokia Technologies was primarily due to the focusing of general research investments towards more specific opportunities, offset by higher expenses related to licensing and patenting the Bell Labs patent portfolio, primarily related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, as well as higher investments in the areas of digital media and digital health.

 

The increase in Nokia Technologies SG&A expenses was primarily due to the ramp-up of new businesses and higher business support costs.

Financial discussion

 

Net sales

 

Group Common and Other net sales increased to EUR 507 million in the first six months of 2016, compared to approximately zero in the year-ago period.

 

56



 

The year-on-year increase in Group Common and Other net sales in the first six months of 2016 was primarily due Alcatel Submarine Networks and Radio Frequency Systems net sales, related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

Operating profit

 

On a year-on-year basis, in the first six months of 2016, Group Common and Other operating loss increased, primarily due to a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses, higher R&D and SG&A expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit.

 

The increase in Group Common and Other gross profit was primarily due to higher gross profit in Alcatel Submarine Networks and Radio Frequency Systems, related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

Group Common and Other R&D expenses increased on a year-on-year basis, primarily due to Bell Labs, related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

The increase in Group Common and Other SG&A expenses was primarily due higher central function costs, related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

Group Common and Other other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 4 million in the first six months of 2016, compared to an income of EUR 97 million in the year-ago period. On a year-on-year basis, the change was primarily due to the absence of realized gains and losses related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds and, to a lesser extent, the non-cash impairment of a financial asset.

(1)Total cash and other liquid assets consist of the following line items from our consolidated statement of financial position: Cash and cash equivalents (bank and cash as well as available-for-sale investments, cash equivalents), available-for sale investments, liquid assets and investments at fair value through profit and loss, liquid assets. Net cash and other liquid assets equals total cash and other liquid assets less long-term interest-bearing liabilities and less short-term interest-bearing liabilities. For details, please refer to note 15, “Notes to the consolidated statement of cash flows”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

(2)Beginning from the first quarter 2016, Nokia results include those of Alcatel-Lucent on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, Nokia results beginning from the first quarter 2016 are not directly comparable to prior period Nokia standalone results.

 

In the first six months of 2016, Nokia’s total cash and other liquid assets increased by EUR 1 138 million and Nokia’s net cash and other liquid assets decreased by EUR 698 million. Nokia’s total cash and other liquid assets increased EUR 1 840 million more than Nokia’s net cash and other liquid assets, primarily due to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, partially offset by the redemption of Alcatel Lucent notes and convertible bonds.

 

Foreign exchange rates had an approximately EUR 20 million positive impact on net cash.

 

Compared to the end of 2015, net cash and other liquid assets were affected by the following factors:

 

In the first six months of 2016, Nokia’s net cash from operating activities was negative EUR 2.2 billion:

 

·             Nokia’s adjusted net profit before changes in net working capital was EUR 692 million in the first six months of 2016.

 

·             Total cash outflows related to working capital of approximately EUR 2.5 billion.

 

58



 

·                  Nokia had approximately EUR 270 million of restructuring and associated cash outflows in the first six months of 2016, primarily related to previous cost savings programs. Excluding this, net working capital generated a decrease in net cash of approximately EUR 2.2 billion, primarily due to a decrease in short-term liabilities and an increase in inventories, partially offset by increase in net cash related to a decrease in receivables.

 

·                  The cash outflows related to short-term liabilities were approximately EUR 2.1 billion, primarily due to the payment of incentives related to Alcatel-Lucent’s and Nokia’s strong business performance in 2015, a decline in accounts payable of approximately EUR 660 million (of which approximately EUR 350 million related to our actions to harmonize working capital processes and practices, particularly in the area of payables, and approximately EUR 310 million related to seasonality) and the termination of Alcatel-Lucent’s license agreement with Qualcomm which resulted in approximately EUR 280 million of cash outflows.

 

·                  The cash outflows related to the increase in inventories were approximately EUR 320 million, consistent with seasonality.

 

·                  The cash inflows related to the decrease in receivables were approximately EUR 190 million, primarily due to cash inflows related to a seasonal decline in receivables and cash inflows related to the catch-up payment from the Samsung arbitration award, announced on February 1, 2016. This was partially offset by an increase in receivables resulting from the approximately EUR 1.0 billion reduction in the sale of receivables (debt-like items), in accordance with our Capital Structure Optimization Program.

 

·             In addition, Nokia’s cash outflows related to income taxes were approximately EUR 250 million and cash outflows related to net interest were approximately EUR 160 million.

 

In the first six months of 2016, Nokia’s net cash inflows from investing activities primarily related to an increase in net cash of approximately EUR 2.0 billion related to the acquired net cash and other liquid assets of Alcatel-Lucent. This was partially offset by decreases of net cash of approximately EUR 190 million due to capital expenditures and approximately EUR 190 million due to acquisition of businesses.

 

In the first six months of 2016, Nokia’s net cash outflows from financing activities primarily related to a decrease in net cash of approximately EUR 140 million related to the purchase of Alcatel-Lucent shares and the equity component of the purchased Alcatel-Lucent convertible bonds.

 

On June 16, 2016, Nokia’s AGM resolved to distribute an ordinary dividend of EUR 0.16 per share for financial year 2015. In addition the AGM resolved to distribute a special dividend of EUR 0.10 per share. The dividends approved on June 16, 2016 were not paid in the second quarter 2016, but instead were paid during July 2016.

Notes to Financial statements

 

1. Basis of preparation

 

The unaudited, consolidated, condensed interim financial statements of Nokia have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (“IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting”). The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for 2015, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as published by the IASB and adopted by the EU. The same accounting policies, methods of computation and applications of judgment are followed in these interim financial statements as were followed in the annual financial statements for 2015, except as described below in relation to the new segment reporting structure.

 

These interim financial statements were authorized for issue by management on August 3, 2016.

 

Non-IFRS measures presented in this document exclude costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with IFRS, and non-IFRS financial measures as used by Nokia may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies or persons. In the second quarter 2016 certain additional information and disclosure has been included to implement the recent guidance issued by ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) on alternative performance measures.

 

Percentages and figures presented herein may include rounding differences and therefore may not add up precisely to the totals presented and may vary from previously published financial information.

 

As of the first quarter 2016, following the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent on January 4, 2016 (see Note 6 Acquisitions for more details), Nokia has revised its financial reporting structure. We have two businesses: Nokia’s Networks business and Nokia Technologies, and three reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Ultra Broadband Networks and IP Networks and Applications within Nokia’s Networks business and Nokia Technologies. We also present certain segment data for Group Common and Other as well as discontinued operations. Numbers are always presented for the continuing operations of Nokia, unless otherwise indicated. More details regarding the revised financial reporting structure and reportable segments are presented in Note 3 Segment information and eliminations.

 

Additionally, as a result of the sale of the HERE business on December 4, 2015, and of the transaction where Nokia sold substantially all of its Devices & Services business on April 25, 2014, the HERE and the Devices & Services businesses have been presented as discontinued operations on which we report certain separate information.

 

The comparative financial information presented in these interim financial statements has been prepared to reflect the financial results of the continuing operations of Nokia as if the new financial reporting structure had been in operation for the full year 2015. Certain accounting policy alignments, adjustments and reclassifications have been necessary, and these are explained in the “Basis of preparation” section of the stock exchange release published on April 22, 2016. These adjustments include also reallocation of items of costs and expenses based on their nature and changes to the definition of the line items in the combined company accounting policies, which affect also numbers presented in these interim financial statements for 2015.

 

Nokia has engaged in the re-organization and integration of its current business activities in China — including the operations in Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell (“ASB”). ASB is owned by Alcatel-Lucent (50% plus one share) and China Huaxin Post & Telecommunication Economy Development Center (“China Huaxin”, 50% minus one share). In August 2015, Nokia and China Huaxin signed a memorandum of understanding (“MoU”) confirming their intention to combine Nokia’s telecommunications infrastructure businesses in China (“Nokia China”) and ASB into a new joint venture. As agreed under the MoU, Nokia expects to hold 50% plus one share in the new joint venture, with China Huaxin holding the remaining shares. Fair value compensation would be received for the contribution of relevant assets to the joint venture. The new joint venture is planned to operate under the English name of Nokia Shanghai Bell and would be registered in the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone.

 

67



 

Amendments to IAS 1 and Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 cycle

 

On January 1, 2016, Nokia adopted amendments to multiple IFRS standards, which resulted from the amendments to IAS 1 and the IASB’s annual improvement project for the 2012-2014 cycles. They comprise amendments that result in accounting changes for presentation, recognition or measurement purposes, most visibly through additional guidance on use of judgment in applying materiality in aggregation and disaggregation of line items and more generally in the presentation in the financial statements.

2. Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation, Continuing Operations (unaudited)

 

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 costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. We believe 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.

3. Segment information and eliminations, NOKIA, Continuing Operations (unaudited)

 

We have two businesses: Nokia’s Networks business and Nokia Technologies, and three reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Ultra Broadband Networks and IP Networks and Applications within Nokia’s Networks business and Nokia Technologies. We also present certain segment data for Group Common and Other as well as discontinued operations. Numbers are always presented for the continuing operations of Nokia, unless otherwise indicated.

 

We have aggregated Fixed Networks and Mobile Networks operating segments to one reportable segment Ultra Broadband Networks and IP/Optical Networks and Applications & Analytics operating segments to one reportable segment IP Networks and Applications. The aggregated operating segments have similar economic characteristics and have similar products, production processes, distribution methods and customers, as well as operate in a similar regulatory environment.

 

The chief operating decision maker receives monthly financial information for the Nokia’s operating and reportable segments. Key financial performance measures of the reportable segments include primarily net sales and operating profit. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of the segments and allocates resources to them based on operating profit.

 

Ultra Broadband Networks

 

Ultra Broadband Networks is composed of the Mobile Networks and Fixed Networks business groups.

 

The Mobile Networks business group offers an industry-leading portfolio of end-to-end mobile networking solutions comprising hardware, software and services for telecommunications operators, enterprises and related markets/verticals such as public safety and Internet of Things.

Nokia Technologies

 

The Nokia Technologies business group has two main objectives: To drive growth and renewal in its existing patent licensing business; and to build new businesses for Nokia, based on breakthrough innovation in key technologies and products, in the areas of Digital Media and Digital Health.

 

·    As of the first quarter 2016, the majority of net sales and the related costs and expenses attributable to licensing and patenting the separate patent portfolios of Nokia Technologies, Nokia’s Networks business, and Bell Labs will be recorded in Nokia Technologies. Each reportable segment will continue to separately record its research and development expenses.

 

73



 

Group Common and Other

 

Nokia also reports segment-level data for Group Common and Other.

 

·    As of the first quarter 2016, Group Common and Other includes the Alcatel Submarine Networks and Radio Frequency Systems businesses, both of which are being managed as separate entities. In addition, Group Common and Other includes Bell Labs’ operating expenses, as well as certain corporate-level and centrally-managed operating expenses.

 

Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in note 1, Accounting principles of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2015. The Group accounts for inter-segment revenues and transfers as if the revenues were to third parties, that is, at current market prices. Non-IFRS exclusions are not allocated to the segments.

6. ACQUISITIONS, reported (unaudited)

 

Alcatel-Lucent acquisition

 

On April 15, 2015, Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent announced their intention to combine through a public exchange offer in France and the United States. Alcatel-Lucent is a global leader in IP networking, ultra-broadband access and cloud applications. The combined company will leverage the combined scale of operations, complementary technologies, portfolios and geographical presence; and unparalleled innovation capabilities to lead in the next generation network technology and services and to create access to an expanded addressable market with improved long-term growth opportunities.

 

Nokia obtained control of Alcatel-Lucent on January 4, 2016 when the interim results of the successful initial exchange offer were announced by the French stock market authority, Autorité des Marchés Financiers (“AMF”). On January 14, 2016, Nokia reopened its exchange offer, for the outstanding Alcatel-Lucent Securities not tendered during the initial exchange offer period. Nokia has determined that the initial and the reopened exchange offers are linked transactions that are to be considered together as a single arrangement given that the reopened exchange offer is required by AMF general regulation and is based on the same terms and conditions as the initial exchange offer.

 

As part of the exchange offers, holders of Alcatel-Lucent ordinary shares, Alcatel-Lucent American Depositary Shares (“ALU ADS”) and OCEANE convertible bonds (collectively “Alcatel-Lucent Securities”) could exchange their Alcatel-Lucent Securities for Nokia shares and Nokia American Depositary Shares (“Nokia ADS”) on the basis of 0.55 Nokia share or Nokia ADS for every Alcatel-Lucent share or ALU ADS.

 

Following the initial and reopened exchange offers, Nokia held 90.34% of the share capital and at least 90.25% of the voting rights of Alcatel-Lucent. On February 12, 2016 Nokia issued a total of 320 701 193 new Nokia shares as consideration for the Alcatel-Lucent securities tendered in the reopened exchange offer.

 

Subsequent to the exchange offer Nokia has carried out the following transactions relating to the acquisition of equity interests in Alcatel-Lucent:

 

· On February 12, 2016, Nokia converted the OCEANE convertible bonds (the “OCEANEs”) acquired as part of the initial and reopened exchange offers to Alcatel-Lucent shares.

 

· On February 19, 2016, Nokia announced the issue of 6 501 503 new Nokia shares in exchange for Alcatel-Lucent shares in a private transaction at the 0.55 exchange offer provided in the initial and reopened exchange offers. This transaction was based on a resolution by the Board of Directors on February 18, 2016.

 

· On May 9, 2016 Nokia closed the acquisition of 107 775 949 Alcatel-Lucent shares in exchange for 59 276 772 new Nokia shares from JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as depositary (the “Alcatel Depositary”), pursuant to the share purchase agreement announced on March 17, 2016. These shares represent Alcatel-Lucent shares that remained in the Alcatel-Lucent American depositary receipts program after the cancellation period and following the program’s termination on April 25, 2016.

 

· On May 12, 2016 Nokia agreed to acquire 72 994 133 of 2019 OCEANEs and 19 943 533 of 2020 OCEANEs through a privately negotiated transaction in consideration for an aggregate cash payment of EUR 419 million.

 

· On June 17, 2016 Nokia acquired 24 392 270 Alcatel-Lucent shares, 9 614 661 of 2019 OCEANEs and 2 290 001 of 2020 OCEANEs through privately negotiated transactions in consideration for an aggregate cash payment of EUR 85 million for the Alcatel-Lucent shares (corresponding to a unit price of EUR 3.50 per share) and EUR 54 million for the OCEANEs (corresponding to a unit price of EUR 4.51 per 2019 OCEANE and EUR 4.50 per 2020 OCEANE).

 

81



 

Following these transactions, Nokia owns 95.33% of the share capital and 95.26% of the voting rights of Alcatel-Lucent, corresponding to 95.16% of the Alcatel-Lucent shares on a fully diluted basis. Nokia has confirmed with the AMF that it intends to file a public buy-out offer in cash of the remaining Alcatel-Lucent shares and OCEANEs in September 2016. Subject to the review and clearance by the AMF, the offer will be open for 10 trading days and is followed by a squeeze-out in cash of any remaining shares and OCEANEs in accordance with the General Regulation of the AMF. Nokia expects to own 100% of the share capital, voting rights and OCEANEs of Alcatel-Lucent by the end of October 2016.

 

Alcatel-Lucent ordinary shares and ALU ADS’s acquired by Nokia subsequent to the closing of the reopened exchange offer (including through the squeeze-out) are accounted for as equity transactions with the remaining non-controlling interests in Alcatel-Lucent. As such, any new Nokia shares or cash consideration paid for these instruments are recorded directly within equity against the carrying amount of non-controlling interests. The acquisition of OCEANEs subsequent to the transactions linked to the exchange offer is treated both as extinguishment of debt and equity transaction with remaining non-controlling interests in Alcatel-Lucent, with the redemption consideration allocated to the liability and equity components.

 

Purchase consideration

 

The purchase consideration comprises of the fair value of Alcatel-Lucent Securities obtained through the Exchange Offers, and the fair value of the portion of Alcatel-Lucent stock options and performance shares attributable to pre-combination services that will be settled with Nokia shares. The fair value of the purchase consideration is based on the closing price of Nokia share of EUR 6.58 on NASDAQ Helsinki on January 4, 2016, and the exchange offer ratio of 0.55 Nokia share for every Alcatel-Lucent share.

Purchase accounting

 

Nokia has continued the purchase accounting of the Alcatel-Lucent, including purchase price allocation. The purchase price allocation is based on the current estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and may be revised during Q3 2016 when additional analyses are conducted and further information on conditions existing at the acquisition date becomes available. The adjustments to the opening statement of financial position during Q2 2016 were not material.

The provisional goodwill arising from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent is estimated to amount to EUR 5.1 billion and is primarily attributable to synergies arising from the significant economies of scale and scope that Nokia is expecting to benefit from as part of the new combined entity. The allocation of goodwill for impairment testing purposes has not yet been completed.

 

Nokia elected to measure the components of non-controlling interests in Alcatel-Lucent (that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation) based on the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the fair value of the acquired identifiable net assets. As such, the provisional goodwill excludes the goodwill related to the non-controlling interests. The equity component of the remaining outstanding OCEANEs as well as the outstanding stock options and performance shares that will be settled in Alcatel-Lucent ordinary shares are measured at fair value within non-controlling interests.

Acquisition-related costs not directly attributable to the issue of shares included in other expenses in the consolidated income statement and in operating cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows total to EUR 93 million of which EUR 60 million is recognized in January-June 2016.

 

The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed presented above are provisional based on management estimates on the acquisition date January 4, 2016. Nokia expects to continue to conduct analysis to assess the fair values of intangible assets, deferred tax assets, inventories and contingent liabilities, in particular, and adjustments that have a material impact on the provisional purchase accounting may be made. Adjustments to the provisional fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed will also impact the provisional estimate of goodwill.

 

The acquired business contributed revenues of EUR 5 843 million and net loss of EUR 1162 million to Nokia for the period from 4 January to 30 June 2016.

 

These amounts have been calculated using the subsidiary’s results and adjusting them for the accounting policy alignments and these are explained in the “Basis of preparation” section of the stock exchange release published on April 22, 2016.

Other acquisitions

 

On April 26, 2016 Nokia announced its plan to acquire Withings S.A., a provider of digital health products and services, to accelerate entry into Digital Health. The acquisition was completed on May 31, 2016. Purchase accounting for this acquisition was on-going at the end of Q2 2016.

 

On June 10, 2016 Nokia announced its plans to acquire Gainspeed, a US-based start-up specializing in DAA (Distributed Access Architecture) solutions for the cable industry via its Virtual CCAP (Converged Cable Access Platform) product line. The transaction was closed on July, 29, 2016.

7. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, reported (unaudited)

 

On August 3, 2015 Nokia announced the sale of the HERE business to a consortium of leading automotive companies, comprising AUDI AG, BMW Group and Daimler AG. Subsequent to that date, Nokia has presented the HERE business as discontinued operations excluding items outside the final transaction scope until completion of the sale on December 4, 2015. Accordingly Nokia has also reclassified the comparative periods on the consolidated condensed income statement. Discontinued operations include also the continuing financial effects of the Sale of Devices & Services Business in 2014.

8. PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, NOKIA, reported (unaudited)

 

Nokia operates a number of post-employment plans, group life plans and retiree healthcare plans in various countries. Defined benefit plans expose Nokia to actuarial risks such as interest rate risk, and life expectancy risk, as well as investment risk. The characteristics and associated risks of the defined benefit plans vary depending on legal, fiscal, and economic requirements in each country.

 

93% of Nokia’s total benefit obligations and 95% of Nokia’s plan asset fair values were remeasured as of June 30, 2016. Nokia’s pension and post-retirement obligations in the United States have been remeasured by updated valuations from an external actuary and Nokia’s main pension plans outside of the U.S. (in Germany, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Belgium) have been re-measured based on a sensitivity analysis. The impact of not re-measuring other pension and post-employment obligations is considered not material.

 

The weighted average discount rates used to measure Nokia’s pension and post-retirement obligations of June 30, 2016 have been updated and were as follows:

9. DEFERRED TAXES, NOKIA, reported (unaudited)

 

At June 30, 2016, Nokia had recognized deferred tax assets of EUR 5.5 billion. The recognition of deferred tax assets is based on offsetting deferred tax liabilities, earnings history and profit projections in the relevant jurisdictions. The majority of Nokia’s recognized deferred tax assets relate to unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences in the US (EUR 2.2 billion) and Finland (EUR 2.1 billion). Based on the recent profitability in the US and Finland and the latest forecasts of future financial performance, Nokia has been able to establish a pattern of sufficient tax profitability in the US and Finland to conclude that it is probable that Nokia will be able to utilize the tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are not recognized for the portion of the tax losses and tax credits that are expected to expire before they can be utilized.

 

At June 30, 2016, primarily due to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia had unrecognized deferred tax assets of approximately EUR 12 billion related to unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences. The majority of the unrecognized deferred tax assets relate to France (approximately EUR 6 billion) and US (approximately EUR 5 billion). These deferred tax assets have not been recognized due to uncertainty regarding their utilization. A significant portion of the French unrecognized deferred tax assets are indefinite in nature and available against future French tax liabilities, subject to a limitation of 50% of annual taxable profits. The unrecognized deferred tax assets in the US relate to net operating losses, capital losses and tax credits that are expected to expire before they can be utilized, partly due to the limitations arising from the ownership change in Alcatel-Lucent acquisition. The majority of US tax losses and tax credits expire before 2025.

 

At June 30, 2016, Nokia had deferred tax liabilities of EUR 0.6 billion. Majority of the deferred tax liabilities relate to the fair value adjustments on the purchase accounting of Alcatel-Lucent acquisition.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to the Alcatel-Lucent acquisition are provisional and subject to revision when additional analyses are conducted and further information becomes available (refer to note 6). Deferred tax assets and liabilities may also be affected by the intended public buy-out offer and squeeze-out of the remaining Alcatel-Lucent Equity Securities.

10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, NOKIA, reported (unaudited)

 

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized based on the amount of unobservable inputs used to measure their fair value. Three hierarchical levels are based on an increasing amount of judgment associated with the inputs used to derive fair valuation for these assets and liabilities; Level 1 being market values and Level 3 requiring most management judgment. At the end of each reporting period Nokia categorizes its financial assets and liabilities to appropriate level of fair value hierarchy.

(1) For items not carried at fair value the following fair value measurement methods are used. The fair value is set to carrying amount for available-for-sale investments carried at cost less impairment for which no reliable fair value has been possible to estimate. These assets are tested for impairment using a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of loan receivables and payables is estimated based on discounted cash flow method or current market values of similar instruments (level 2). The fair values of long-term interest bearing liabilities are based on discounted cash flow analysis (level 2) or quoted prices (level 1). The fair value is estimated to be equal to the carrying amount for short-term financial assets and financial liabilities due to limited credit risk and short time to maturity.

Level 3 includes a large number of investments in unlisted equities and unlisted venture funds, including investments managed by Nokia Growth Partners specializing in growth-stage investing and by BlueRun Ventures focusing on early stage opportunities. Within level 3 fair value is determined by using one or more valuation techniques, where the use of the market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach generally consists of calculating the net present value of estimated future cash flows. For unlisted venture funds the selection of appropriate valuation techniques by the fund managing partner may be affected by the availability and reliability of relevant inputs. In some cases, one valuation technique may provide the best indication of fair value while in other circumstances, multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate.

 

The inputs generally considered in determining the fair value include the original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations or other transactions undertaken by the issuer, offerings in the equity or debt capital markets, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors. Level 3 investments are valued on a quarterly basis taking into consideration any changes, projections and assumptions, as well as any changes in economic and other relevant conditions. The fair value may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the managing partner in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the managing partner due to the lack of observable inputs may impact the resulting fair value of individual investments, but no individual input has a significant impact on the total fair value of Nokia’s level 3 investments. The following table shows a reconciliation of the opening and closing balances of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities:

(1) The reclassification of EUR 48 million from restructuring consists of EUR 45 million to accrued expenses and EUR 3 million to litigation to better reflect the nature of these items. The reclassification of EUR 41 million from other provisions consists of EUR 3 million to warranty, EUR 2 million to project losses, EUR 6 million to litigation, EUR 1 million to material liability and EUR 29 million to accrued expenses.

 

As of June 30, 2016 Nokia restructuring provision amounted to EUR 852 million including personnel and other restructuring related costs, such as real estate exit costs. On April 6, 2016, Nokia announced that it was beginning actions to reduce company personnel globally as part of its previously announced synergy and transformation program. As a result of the announcement and subsequent consultations taken place, Nokia recognized in the second quarter 2016 a provision of EUR 593 million, of which EUR 45 million have been transferred to accrued expenses and EUR 15 million were used by end of the second quarter 2016. In addition, the total amount of restructuring provision includes EUR 326 million relating to the restructuring provisions recognized due to previously announced restructuring programs. The majority of the restructuring related outflows is expected to occur over the next two years.

The amounts above represent the maximum principal amount of commitments and contingencies.

 


(1) In contingent liabilities on behalf of Group companies Nokia reports guarantees that have been given to third parties in the normal course of business. These are mainly guarantees given by financial institutions to Nokia’s customers for the performance of Nokia’s obligations under supply agreements, including tender bonds, performance bonds, and warranty bonds issued by financial institutions on behalf of Nokia. Additionally Nokia has issued corporate guarantees with primary obligation given directly to customers. These guarantees have been issued by Nokia Corporation for EUR 71 million (EUR 76 million at June 30, 2015 and EUR 74 million at December 31, 2015) as well as by certain Alcatel-Lucent entities for EUR 2 172 million. In Other guarantees Nokia reports guarantees related to non-commercial contracts that support Nokia’s business activities. As a result of internal policies and active management of outstanding guarantee exposure, Nokia has not been subject to any material guarantee claims during recent years.

(2) On February 21, 2016, Nokia Growth Partners announced the closing of a new USD 350 million fund for investments in Internet of Things (IoT) companies. The fund is sponsored by Nokia and will serve to identify new opportunities to grow the ecosystem in IoT solutions. The fund IV commitment brings NGP’s total assets under management to over USD 1 billion, including USD 500 million available for new investments.

(1) In June 2016 Nokia exercised its options to increase the size of the EUR 1 500 million Revolving Credit Facility to EUR 1 579 million and to extend the maturity date from June 2018 to June 2019. The facility has a one-year extension option remaining, no financial covenants and it remains undrawn.

(2) In November 2015, Nokia exercised its option to redeem EUR 750 million convertible bonds at their principal amount outstanding plus accrued interest. Virtually all bondholders elected to convert their convertible bonds into Nokia shares before redemption.

(3) This line includes liabilities related to French R&D tax credits (i.e. “Crédits d’Impôt Recherche”) of EUR 132 million (EUR 0 million at June 30, 2015 and at December 31, 2015) that have been sold to banks on a recourse basis and hence not derecognized from the consolidated statement of financial position.

In January 2016, Alcatel-Lucent S.A. repaid its EUR 190 million 8.50% senior notes. In February, 2016, Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc. redeemed its USD 650 million 4.625% notes due July 2017, USD 500 million 8.875% notes due January 2020 and USD 700 million 6.750% notes due November 2020 in accordance with their respective terms and conditions. In February 2016, Alcatel-Lucent S.A. terminated its EUR 504 million revolving credit facility. In March 2016, the Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks’ credit facility of EUR 74 million was repaid.

In total 211 579 445 of 2018 OCEANE convertible bonds, 57 852 372 of 2019 OCEANE convertible bonds and 72 783 038 of 2020 OCEANE convertible bonds, with nominal amounts of EUR 381 million, EUR 238 million and EUR 293 million respectively, were tendered in the French and U.S. offers for exchange into Nokia shares and converted to Alcatel-Lucent shares by Nokia following the settlement of Reopened Offer in February 2016. As a result of conversion, less than 15% of the 2018 OCEANE convertible bonds remained outstanding and Nokia caused Alcatel-Lucent SA to redeem at par value, plus accrued interest all of the outstanding 2018 OCEANE convertible bonds pursuant to the terms and conditions of the bonds.

 

99



 

During January and February 2016 other bondholders have converted 19 981 014 of 2018 OCEANE convertible bonds, 1 014 828 of 2019 OCEANE convertible bonds and 5 010 000 of 2020 OCEANE convertible bonds, with nominal amounts of EUR 36 million, EUR 4 million and EUR 20 million, respectively. Additionally certain bondholders exercised their right to put back 7 393 369 of 2019 OCEANE convertible bonds and 1 751 000 of 2020 OCEANE convertible bonds at par plus accrued interest for a cash consideration of EUR 30 million and EUR 7 million, respectively.

 

During May and June 2016 Nokia acquired in privately negotiated transactions in total 82 608 794 of 2019 OCEANE convertible bonds and 22 233 534 of 2020 OCEANE convertible bonds in consideration for an aggregate cash payment of EUR 473 million. Transactions corresponded to a unit price of EUR 4.51 per 2019 OCEANE and EUR 4.50 per 2020 OCEANE.

 

All of the remaining Nokia borrowings are senior unsecured and have no financial covenants.

Planned acquisition of Gainspeed

 

On June 10, 2016 Nokia announced its plans to acquire Gainspeed, a US-based start-up specializing in DAA (Distributed Access Architecture) solutions for the cable industry via its Virtual CCAP (Converged Cable Access Platform) product line. Nokia completed this acquisition on July 29, 2016.

 

Nokia and Samsung expand their intellectual property cross license

 

On July 13, 2016 Nokia and Samsung agreed terms to expand their patent cross license agreement to cover certain additional patent portfolios of both parties. This agreement is in addition to the outcome of the arbitration between the two companies that was announced on February 1, 2016. With this expansion, Nokia expects a positive impact to the net sales of Nokia Technologies starting from the third quarter of 2016. Nokia Technologies’ total annualized net sales related to patent and brand licensing is expected to grow to a run rate of approximately EUR 950 million by the end of 2016.
