JORMA OLLILA, CHAIRMAN AND CEO:

Continued excellent profitability and further positive market share developments in mobile phones during the quarter were very reassuring. We gained in two strategic focus areas: the US, our largest market, and the global CDMA market. Nokia's market share in mobile phones is now estimated at 39%, marking both a sequential and year-on-year increase for the second quarter. Overall, however, our sales reflected general economic and US-dollar weakness.

Our 14% growth in mobile phone volumes during the quarter was supported with shipments of 13 new models. Key to our success has been, and will continue to be, our winning execution and strong competitive position in all major technologies and segments. For the full year 2003, we are looking to enhance our leadership with a record launch of more than 35 new models.

Further to the feature-rich, multimedia models already on the market with current technologies, shipments of the Nokia 6650, our first 3G WCDMA phone, marked the full-scale availability of this new technology through standard distribution channels across the markets. I see this as strategically important not only for us but the entire industry. And this was not just any product launch—it was the culmination of our industry's largest ever field-testing exercise, a prolonged and exhaustive project, using 20,000 phones in almost every WCDMA network in the world.

With our growing portfolio, we are bringing the power of mobility into new areas such as imaging, music, games and enterprise applications, as well as expanding the mobile experience for the user. Nearly one-third of all Nokia phones sold now have color screens and multimedia capability. The new Nokia 6600 camera phone, launched in June, is a perfect example of a smart phone that combines business functionality like secure e-mail with a personal multimedia experience. We are now seeing increased signs of a consumer shift towards more feature-rich devices in leading-edge markets such as the UK and Scandinavia.

In our network business, decisive restructuring actions now underway are on track and will better position our business amid current challenging market conditions. In WCDMA networks, we are satisfied with progress made during the quarter. We now see our leading rollout capability and commercial readiness putting us among the very few top-tier companies driving this industry forward.

Bringing the full power of mobility to enterprises represents a new wave in business communication and a major opportunity for us. By integrating mobile technologies into their infrastructure, enterprises can achieve massive gains in productivity and efficiency. To address this, we are creating a new business group, Nokia Enterprise Solutions, which will report directly to me. The group will provide a diverse handset range as well as security and mobile connectivity solutions specifically tailored for enterprise needs.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND FORECASTS

Second-quarter sales

Nokia's second-quarter sales of EUR 7.0 billion rose by 1% compared with the second quarter 2002.

Mobile phone sales rose by 2% year on year, broadly in line with previous guidance, reaching EUR 5.5 billion. While mobile phone volumes grew by 14%, sales were adversely affected by a weak US dollar and, to a lesser extent, an increased proportion of lower-priced entry-level phone sales in emerging markets such as India. Strong net sales growth in Europe was virtually offset by somewhat lower sales in Asia Pacific and substantially lower sales in the Americas.

Sales in Nokia Networks were flat at EUR 1.5 billion, at the upper end of previously stated guidance. This reflected continued growth in the Americas, flat sales in Europe and lower sales in Asia Pacific.

Second-quarter profitability

Second-quarter pro forma operating profit for the Nokia group declined 32% to EUR 858 million. This included a charge of EUR 399 million related to restructuring in Nokia Networks.

At Nokia Mobile Phones, continued broad product competitiveness and operational efficiency drove profitability, with pro forma operating profit in the second quarter rising 9% year on year to

EUR 1.3 billion and pro forma mobile phone margins continued at high levels of 23.1%. At Nokia Networks, pro forma operating loss was EUR 334 million. If the restructuring charge of EUR 399 million were excluded, Nokia Networks would have shown a small pro forma operating profit.

Pro forma EPS (diluted) for the Nokia group reached EUR 0.14, within the previously guided range of EUR 0.13 and EUR 0.16.

Nokia's cash position remained healthy, with total available cash at EUR 9.9 billion by the end of the quarter.

Nokia Networks restructuring measures on track

In the second quarter, Nokia took a charge of EUR 399 million relating to previously announced restructuring at Nokia Networks. This consisted of a non-cash charge of EUR 304 million for impairments and project closures in research and development, with the remainder relating to personnel reductions. By the end of 2003, it is estimated that Nokia Networks will comprise approximately 15,000 employees, compared with a total 17,361 at December 31, 2002.

Outlook for third quarter 2003

Nokia expects its third-quarter mobile phone volumes to grow by well over 10%, representing faster-than-market growth, with strong profitability continuing. However, sales of Nokia Mobile Phones in the third quarter are expected to be flat or slightly down year on year, largely due to a major depreciation of the US dollar, compared with the same period in 2002.

In Nokia Networks, operating conditions show no sign of improvement, and the company is estimating a year-on-year sales decline of 15% to 20% for the third quarter. Given this sales outlook, Nokia Networks is expected to show a small pro forma operating loss in the third quarter.

Nokia expects third-quarter pro forma EPS (diluted) to be in the range of EUR 0.15 and EUR 0.17, while reported EPS (diluted) is expected to be in the range of EUR 0.14 and EUR 0.16. Third-quarter 2002 pro forma EPS (diluted) was EUR 0.18 and reported EPS (diluted) was EUR 0.13.

Nokia mobile phone market share grows to 39%

Nokia's market share for the second quarter is estimated to have grown to 39%, indicating both a sequential and a year-on-year increase. This was mainly driven by market share gains in the US.

Total mobile phone market volumes for the second quarter were up year on year for the fifth consecutive quarter, rising by 11% to 105 million, while Nokia's own volumes grew by 14% to 41 million units.

Nokia continues to expect global handset volume for the full year 2003 to grow by approximately 10%, compared with 405 million units in 2002. Nokia volume growth is expected to be stronger than market growth for the full year 2003.

Company sees increase in CDMA share

In line with Nokia's long-term target to become a leading CDMA mobile device manufacturer, the company started shipping four new CDMA phones in the second quarter, including the launch of the Nokia 3586i, Nokia's first CDMA phone with a color screen. The company also began shipments of CDMA phones in India, while in China received the CDMA manufacturing licence, and will commence CDMA production and sales there during the second half. The positive effects of this expanding product range and customer base enabled Nokia to see a second-quarter increase in its CDMA market share.

Mobile networks market remains slow

In the network infrastructure business, market conditions show no signs of improving. Operator investment has decreased to an exceptionally low level, and Nokia continues to expect the overall market to contract by 15% or more for the full-year 2003.

New business group to focus on enterprise solutions

Nokia is creating Nokia Enterprise Solutions, a new business group targeting the enterprise market.

Nokia Enterprise Solutions will bring together Nokia's various corporate activities from Nokia Mobile Phones and Nokia Ventures Organization with the aim of providing enterprises with a competitive, focused mobile device range and platform as well as secure connectivity solutions. The new business group will start financial reporting from the first quarter 2004.

NOKIA MOBILE PHONES IN THE SECOND QUARTER

Nokia started shipping 13 new mobile phone models during the quarter while introducing four new models for shipment in the second half 2003. For the full year 2003, Nokia expects to launch more than 35 new mobile phone models, marking a new record.

Nokia in China—new product introductions and enhanced distribution

Nokia continued to show a solid performance in China despite challenging market conditions. The SARS outbreak and abnormally high channel inventory levels had a negative impact on Chinese handset market demand and the company's own demand. However, Nokia continued to execute well, supported by new product introductions and an enhanced distribution network in China.

The introduction of the Nokia 6108 messaging phone with pen input capability is an important example of Nokia's continued focus on the Chinese handset market. The Nokia 6108 will be commercially available in China and in Asia Pacific in July.

CDMA technology milestone

An important milestone in the CDMA chipset market was reached in May when wireless industry leaders, STMicroelectronics (ST), Texas Instruments (TI) and Nokia, joined efforts to help stimulate an open environment for CDMA handsets. Based on technology developed jointly with Nokia, TI and ST announced they would offer integrated circuits that together compose standard CDMA chipsets. This development will ensure that CDMA operators and handset manufacturers gain the benefits of an open, flexible technology, which can only be achieved in a multi-vendor environment.

Nokia drives camera phone market

Nokia continued to launch new imaging products, notably the introduction of the Nokia 6600. This new camera phone combines advanced enterprise functionality like secure e-mail with a personal multimedia experience, and features a large colour screen, digital zoom and video recorder.

To further enhance the mobile imaging experience, Nokia and Kodak announced a collaboration agreement that will offer Nokia mobile phone users convenient solutions to store and print digital images. Users of Nokia imaging phones, such as the Nokia 6600, will be able to upload, store, share and order prints of pictures with their handsets using the Kodak Picture Center Online service.

Global availability of the Nokia 6650 marks start of commercial 3G WCDMA services

The global availability of the Nokia 6650 marks the start of commercial 3G WCDMA services. Following a prolonged and thorough testing and piloting program, the second quarter brought full-scale availability of this landmark product. The Nokia 6650 is now available in all markets and can be used in all GSM and WCDMA networks.

Important agreements in mobile software to drive new applications

The company continued to be active in the mobile software field with a number of key announcements and cooperation agreements. In June, Nokia was among the leading consumer electronics, computer, and mobile companies that announced the formation of the Digital Home Working Group. This new non-profit organization is dedicated to the simplified sharing of digital content, such as digital music, photos and video, among networked consumer electronics, mobile devices and PCs. The initiative is an important element in Nokia's strategy to enable interoperability among home consumer electronics and Nokia's advanced mobile devices.

Other notable examples include the agreement with RealNetworks for expanded mobile streaming media support for the Nokia Series 60 platform. In addition, Nokia has developed the Series 60 Platform to support the Java Mobile Information Device Profile 2.0, the latest specification for mobile application downloading. Forum Nokia now has more than one million mobile application developers for which the company is committed to providing new tools and enhancements. As evidence of the growing business opportunities for mobile application developers, the number of mobile application downloads globally has now reached more than ten million per month.

Nokia design leadership recognized with industry award The Nokia Design Team was chosen as this year's red dot: design team of the year for 2003 at the "red dot design award" international design competition. The Nokia 6800 and Nokia 6200 mobile phones also received the label "red dot" for their high quality and intelligent design.

NOKIA NETWORKS IN THE SECOND QUARTER

Infrastructure deals during the second quarter included a GSM/GPRS network to MegaFon in Russia, a GSM expansion to Globe Telecom, a GSM/EDGE expansion to SMART in the Philippines and a GSM/GPRS network deal with Telefónica Móviles México. Nokia also supplied a GPRS network to AIS in Thailand and an MMS solution to MTS in Russia.

Solid progress in WCDMA rollouts

The company gained a new 3G customer in April when Telestet in Greece chose Nokia as its radio and core network supplier. Nokia and Telestet also demonstrated Greece's first public 3G WCDMA call in a network ready for commercial use. In WCDMA, Nokia has gained more than 30% of the market and currently leads the industry in WCDMA deployment, with over 20,000 base stations shipped globally.

In early June, 3 UK launched its Nokia-supplied WCDMA network in the northern parts of the UK, making its commercial 3G service nationwide. The entire 3 UK core network was also supplied by Nokia.

Nokia's 3G system compatibility has now been confirmed with nine GSM/GPRS/WCDMA network suppliers in test labs and in more than 15 customer installations. In addition, the functionality of more than 12 phone models from nine 3G manufacturers has been verified against Nokia infrastructure.

Towards mass-market mobile data services

Deployment of MMS services is proceeding steadily, with over 140 operators initiating MMS services to date. Nokia in April launched its MMSC Interconnection Service to help ensure smooth interworking among different operators' MMS systems. Improved interoperability among operators will support the mass-market adoption of MMS services.

Nokia's core network solution provides operators with the business machinery for profitable mobile data services. Nokia is trialing its Intelligent Content Delivery and IP Multimedia Core solutions with leading operators. Commercial deployments are expected to take place in the second half of the year and early 2004.

NOKIA VENTURES ORGANIZATION IN THE SECOND QUARTER

Nokia Internet Communications continues to execute well in a flat economy. Revenues for the second quarter remained flat compared with the first quarter 2003 and decreased slightly from the same period last year. This reflected the combined effects of a weaker US dollar and continuing general weakness in IT spending. The unit again achieved healthy gross margins for the quarter, which increased both sequentially and year on year.

Nokia Internet Communications further deepened its enterprise mobility solutions offering with the launch of its Nokia Secure Access System, enabling enterprises to customize and secure remote connectivity. During the quarter, the unit also completed the acquisition of Eizel Technologies, a software vendor based in Pittsburgh, US, that provides real-time interactive access to virtually any content on small-screen, browser-enabled devices such as PDA's and mobile phones.

Nokia Home Communications launched a digital television receiver for the UK market, the Nokia Mediamaster 121 T. Nokia Venture Partners added several new companies to its portfolio and participated in follow-on funding for an existing portfolio company.
