Note 1 relating to non-IFRS results: Non-IFRS results exclude special items for all periods. In addition, non-IFRS results exclude intangible asset amortization, other purchase price accounting related items and inventory value adjustments arising from i) the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks and ii) all business acquisitions completed after June 30, 2008. More specific information about the exclusions from the non-IFRS results may be found in this press release on pages 2-3, 14-16 and 18.
Nokia believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokia's 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. A reconciliation of the non-IFRS results to our reported results for Q2 2010 and Q2 2009 can be found in the tables on pages 11-12 and 14-18 of this press release. A reconciliation of our Q1 2010 non-IFRS results can be found on pages 10 and 12-16 of our Q1 2010 Interim Report of April 22, 2010.

deferred tax items. If Nokia's estimated long-term tax rate of 26% had
been applied, non-IFRS Nokia EPS would have been approximately half a
Euro cent higher.
OLLI-PEKKA KALLASVUO, NOKIA CEO:
"Despite facing continuing competitive challenges, we ended the second quarter with several reasons to be optimistic about our future. For one, the global handset market has continued to grow at a healthy pace, led by some of the less mature markets where Nokia is strong. We are also encouraged by the solid second quarter performance of our Mobile Phones business, helped by an improving line-up of affordable models.
In smartphones, we continue to renew our portfolio. We believe that the Nokia N8, the first of our Symbian^3 devices, will have a user experience superior to that of any smartphone Nokia has created. The Nokia N8 will be followed soon thereafter by further Symbian^3 smartphones that we are confident will give the platform broader appeal and reach, and kick-start Nokia's fightback at the higher end of the market."

Nokia's second quarter 2010 reported operating profit decreased to EUR 295 million, compared with EUR 427 million in the second quarter 2009. Nokia's second quarter 2010 non-IFRS operating profit decreased 15% to EUR 660 million, compared with EUR 775 million in the second quarter 2009. Nokia's second quarter 2010 reported operating margin was 2.9% (4.3%). Nokia's second quarter 2010 non-IFRS operating margin was 6.6% (7.8%).
Operating cash flow for the second quarter 2010 was EUR 944 million. The operating cash flow for the second quarter 2009 was EUR 716 million. Total cash and other liquid assets were EUR 9.5 billion at end of the second quarter 2010, compared with EUR 7.0 billion at the end of the second quarter 2009. At the end of the second quarter 2010, Nokia's net debt-equity ratio (gearing) was -27%, compared with -10% at the end of the second quarter 2009.
Devices & Services
As previously disclosed and discussed below, multiple factors negatively impacted Nokia's Devices & Services business during the second quarter 2010, and we expect this to continue during the third quarter 2010.
Net Sales. Second quarter 2010 Devices & Services net sales increased 3% to EUR 6.8 billion, compared with EUR 6.6 billion in the second quarter 2009. At constant currency, Devices & Services net sales would have decreased 2% year-on-year. The net sales increase resulted primarily from higher volumes in most regions driven by stronger demand, partially offset by an ASP decline, compared to the second quarter 2009. Net sales in the second quarter 2010 were adversely impacted by the competitive environment, particularly in the high end of the market.
The following chart sets out Devices & Services net sales for the periods indicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequential growth rates, by geographic area.

Of our total Devices & Services net sales, services contributed EUR 158 million in the second quarter 2010, compared with EUR 148 million in the first quarter 2010. Services billings in the second quarter 2010 were EUR 295 million, compared with EUR 228 million in the first quarter 2010. Due to the divestment of the security appliance business in April 2009, services net sales of EUR 140 million and billings of EUR 207 million in the second quarter 2009 are not directly comparable to services net sales and billings in the second quarter 2010.

Volume and Market Share. In the second quarter 2010, the total mobile device volumes of Devices & Services were 111.1 million units, representing an increase of 8% year-on-year and 3% sequentially. The overall industry mobile device volumes for the same period were 338 million units based on Nokia's preliminary estimate, representing an increase of 14% year-on-year and 5% sequentially. Nokia's preliminary estimated mobile device market share was 33% in the second quarter 2010, down from an estimated 35% in the second quarter 2009 and unchanged from an estimated 33% in the first quarter 2010 (based on Nokia's revised definition of the industry mobile device market share applicable beginning in 2010 and applied retrospectively to 2009 for comparative purposes only).
Of the total industry mobile device volumes, converged mobile device industry volumes in the second quarter 2010 increased to 59.0 million units, based on Nokia's preliminary estimate, compared with an estimated 41.0 million units in the second quarter 2009 and 52.6 million units in the first quarter 2010. Our own converged mobile device volumes, comprising our smartphones and mobile computers, were 24.0 million units in the second quarter 2010, an increase of 42% compared with 16.9 million units in the second quarter 2009 and 12% compared with 21.5 million units in the first quarter 2010. Nokia's preliminary estimated share of the converged mobile device market was 41% in the second quarter 2010, compared with an estimated 41% in the second quarter 2009 and an estimated 41% in the first quarter 2010.
The following chart sets out our mobile device volumes for the periods indicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequential growth rates, by geographic area.

Nokia's 8% year-on-year increase in global mobile device volumes was primarily driven by an improved demand environment as economic conditions had improved in most regions compared with the difficult economic conditions of the second quarter 2009. This improvement was offset to some extent by lower demand for our mobile devices in North America. On a sequential basis, Nokia's 3% increase in global mobile device volumes primarily reflected a seasonal increase in demand in Latin America, Europe and Asia-Pacific offset to some extent by a seasonal decrease in demand in Greater China and by lower demand for our mobile devices in Middle East & Africa and North America.
Average Selling Price. Our mobile device average selling price (ASP) in the second quarter 2010 was EUR 61, down from EUR 64 in the second quarter 2009 and from EUR 62 in the first quarter 2010 (including services revenue applied retrospectively to 2009 for comparative purposes only). The lower year-on-year ASP was primarily due to a higher proportion of lower-priced converged mobile device sales and price pressure, particularly in certain high-end smartphones, offset to some extent by converged mobile devices representing a greater proportion of our overall mobile device volumes in the second quarter 2010. On a sequential basis, our lower ASP was primarily driven by price pressure, particularly in certain high-end smartphones, offset to some extent by the appreciation of certain currencies against the Euro and converged mobile devices representing a greater proportion of our overall mobile device volumes in the second quarter 2010. Our converged mobile device ASP in the second quarter 2010 was EUR 143, down from EUR 155 in the first quarter 2010 and EUR 181 in the second quarter 2009. The year-on-year and sequential declines in our converged mobile devices ASPs were mainly driven by an increase in the proportion of such devices sold at lower price points consistent with our strategy to reach wider groups of consumers, as well as price pressure in certain high-end smartphones in the second quarter 2010.

Profitability. Devices & Services gross profit (reported and non-IFRS) decreased 8% to EUR 2.1 billion, compared with EUR 2.2 billion in the second quarter 2009, with a gross margin (reported and non-IFRS) of 30.2% (34.0%). Devices & Services gross margin (reported and non-IFRS) was 32.4% in the first quarter 2010. The year-on-year and sequential gross margin declines were primarily due to price pressure, particularly in certain high-end smartphones, offset to some extent by converged mobile devices representing a greater proportion of our overall mobile device volumes in the second quarter 2010, compared to the second quarter 2009 and first quarter 2010. Sequentially, the gross margin decline was also due to the depreciation of the Euro against certain currencies, which led to higher cost of goods sold, and our foreign exchange hedging having a smaller positive one-quarter impact on the gross margin, as well as a mix shift towards sales of lower-gross margin converged mobile devices. During the latter part of the second quarter 2010, Devices & Services net sales and cost of goods sold were somewhat negatively impacted by industry-wide shortages of certain components and we see this situation continuing through the third quarter 2010.
Devices & Services reported operating profit decreased 16% to EUR 643 million, compared with EUR 763 million in the second quarter 2009, with a reported operating margin of 9.5% (11.6%). Devices & Services non-IFRS operating profit decreased 19% to EUR 647 million, compared with EUR 802 million in the second quarter 2009, with a non-IFRS operating margin of 9.5% (12.2%). The 19% year-on-year decrease in non-IFRS operating profit for the second quarter 2010 was driven primarily by the lower gross margin. Our operating expenses in the second quarter 2010 were also adversely impacted by the depreciation of the Euro against certain currencies, compared to the second quarter 2009.
Nokia will deliver a family of smartphones based on the Symbian^3 software platform that is targeted to offer a clearly improved user experience, a high standard of quality, and competitive value to consumers. We plan to start shipping the Nokia N8, the first Symbian^3 device, towards the end of the third quarter 2010. The Nokia N8 will be followed soon thereafter by further Symbian^3 smartphones that will give the platform broader appeal and reach.
NAVTEQ
Net Sales. Second quarter 2010 NAVTEQ reported net sales increased 71% year-on-year to EUR 252 million, compared with EUR 147 million in the second quarter 2009, benefiting from improved conditions in the automotive industry and growth in mobile device sales. At constant currency, NAVTEQ net sales would have increased 69% year-on-year.
Profitability. In the second quarter 2010, NAVTEQ's reported gross profit increased to EUR 205 million, compared with EUR 125 million in the second quarter 2009, with a gross margin of 81.3% (85.7%). Non-IFRS gross profit was EUR 206 million (EUR 127 million), with a non-IFRS gross margin of 81.4% (85.8%). In the second quarter 2010, NAVTEQ's reported operating loss decreased to EUR 81 million, compared with a EUR 100 million loss in the second quarter 2009. The reported operating margin was -32.1% (-68.0%). NAVTEQ's non-IFRS operating profit was EUR 50 million (EUR 19 million), with a non-IFRS operating margin of 19.8% (12.8%) in the second quarter 2010.
Nokia Siemens Networks
Net Sales. Second quarter 2010 net sales decreased 5% to EUR 3.0 billion, compared with EUR 3.2 billion in the second quarter 2009. The decrease was primarily due to the ongoing industry-wide issue related to security clearances in India, which is preventing the completion of product sales to customers, and shortages of certain components that are affecting the broader industry; we see both of these situations continuing during the third quarter 2010. At constant currency, Nokia Siemens Networks net sales would have decreased 11% year-on-year. Of total Nokia Siemens Networks net sales, services contributed EUR 1.4 billion in the second quarter 2010.
