Nokia Corporation
Financial Statement Release
February 2, 2017 at 08:00 (CET +1)
This is a summary of the Nokia Corporation report for fourth quarter 2016 and full year 2016 published today. The complete fourth quarter 2016 and full year 2016 report with tables is available at www.nokia.com/financials. Investors should not rely on summaries of our interim reports only, but should review the complete reports with tables.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
· Non-IFRS net sales in Q4 2016 of EUR 6.7bn (reported: EUR 6.6bn). In the year-ago quarter, non-IFRS net sales would have been EUR 7.7bn on a comparable combined company basis (reported: EUR 3.6bn on a Nokia stand-alone basis).
· Non-IFRS diluted EPS in Q4 2016 of EUR 0.12 (reported: EUR 0.11) benefited by approximately EUR 0.02-0.03 due to the Q4 2016 non-IFRS tax rate coming in at 23% compared to our guidance.
· Non-IFRS diluted EPS in full year 2016 of EUR 0.22 (reported: negative EUR 0.13).
· Nokia’s Board of Directors will propose a dividend of EUR 0.17 per share for 2016 (EUR 0.16 per share for 2015).
Nokia’s Networks business
· 14% year-on-year net sales decrease in Q4 2016, reflecting challenging market conditions in Q4 2016 and the difficult comparison against the strong performance by Alcatel-Lucent in Q4 2015.
· Strong Q4 2016 gross margin of 40.6% and operating margin of 14.1%, supported by continued focus on operational excellence and cost controls.
· Operating margin of 8.9% in full year 2016, at the high end of our guidance range of 7-9%.
Nokia Technologies
· 25% year-on-year net sales decrease and 49% operating profit decrease in Q4 2016, primarily due to the absence of the Samsung arbitration award, which benefited Q4 2015. The declines were partially offset by the expanded intellectual property rights (“IPR”) license agreement with Samsung announced in Q3 2016 and divested IPR. In addition, the acquisition of Withings helped to offset the decline in net sales.
Group Common and Other
· 34% year-on-year net sales increase in Q4 2016, with particularly strong growth in Alcatel Submarine Networks.

(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 in the Financial statement information in this report. A reconciliation of the Q4 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 Financial statement information section in 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 Financial statement information section in 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.
(4)Reported Q1-Q4’16 result is not comparable to the reported results published previously due to an update to the Alcatel-Lucent purchase price allocation in Q3’16 which resulted in an adjustment to the reported Q1’16 income tax benefit. Refer to note 6, “Acquisitions”, in the Financial statement information section in this report.
Nokia and Apple patent license renewal
In December 2016, Nokia announced that it had begun filing complaints against Apple, alleging that Apple products infringe Nokia patents. As of today, in actions across 11 countries in Asia, Europe and the US, there are now more than 50 Nokia patents in suit, covering technologies such as display, user interface, software, antenna, chipsets, video coding, as well as 3G & 4G cellular standards. Apple has also filed certain complaints against Nokia.
As one of the world’s leading innovators, and following the acquisition of full ownership of Nokia Siemens Networks in 2013 and Alcatel-Lucent in 2016, Nokia now owns three valuable portfolios of intellectual property. Built on more than EUR 115 billion invested in research and development (“R&D”) over the past twenty years, the tens of thousands of patents cover many important technologies used in smartphones, tablets, personal computers and similar devices.
The previous license agreement between Nokia and Apple, covering some patents from the Nokia Technologies portfolio, expired at the end of 2016 and Apple currently has no license under Nokia patents. Despite sustained efforts by Nokia, Apple has not accepted any licensing offers Nokia has made for the previously licensed patents, as well as for other patented inventions used by many of Apple’s products.
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.
Financial discussion
The financial discussion included in this financial report of Nokia’s results comprises 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 changes to our reportable segments, please refer to note 3, “Segment information and eliminations”, in the Financial statement information section in this financial report.
In the discussion of Nokia’s results in the fourth quarter 2016 comparisons are given to the fourth quarter 2015 and third 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 Nokia’s stock exchange release published on April 22, 2016. These adjustments also include 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 also affect numbers presented in this financial report for 2015.
In the discussion of Nokia’s reported results for the fourth quarter 2016 and full year 2016 comparisons are given to the fourth quarter 2015 and full year 2015 Nokia standalone historical results, which have been recast to reflect Nokia’s updated segment reporting structure excluding Alcatel-Lucent, unless otherwise indicated. From the beginning of 2016, Nokia’s results include those of Alcatel-Lucent on a consolidated basis and, accordingly, are not directly comparable to Nokia standalone historical results.
CEO STATEMENT
2016 was a time of transition for Nokia, a year in which we moved forward deliberately and successfully to execute our strategy and broaden our scope.
At the start of the year, Nokia was focused primarily on mobile networks. We ended the year as a company with a complete portfolio spanning mobile, fixed, routing, optical, stand-alone software and more; with solid opportunities to drive higher returns through expansion into new customer segments; with emerging businesses in digital health and digital media; and with greatly expanded patent and brand licensing activities.
Pleasingly, we saw growing customer support for Nokia’s strategy. Our sales pipeline with customers beyond our traditional communication service provider base accelerated over the course of the year, we saw an increasing share of our Networks pipeline coming from opportunities covering products and services from two or more of our business groups, and the potential of cross-selling started to become a reality.
We also ended the year having successfully concluded the integration of Alcatel-Lucent faster than anticipated, allowing us to shift our full focus to cost savings, continuous improvement programs and the execution of our strategy. In terms of financial performance, we were able to deliver solid results for the full year, with profitability in our Networks business coming in at the high end of our guidance range. Our ongoing intense focus on execution, cost management and pricing discipline was critical to offset the impact of challenging market conditions over the course of the year. While I remain disappointed with our topline development in 2016, we continue to expect our performance to improve in 2017 and see the potential for margin expansion in 2017 and beyond, as market conditions improve and our sales transformation programs gain further traction.
In short, we ended 2016 positioned well for the future, with well-integrated operations, a powerful end-to-end portfolio and our disciplined operating model still delivering robust results. In addition, we remain in a position of financial strength, with a strong balance sheet and the flexibility to invest in opportunities that we believe will create shareholder value.

Non-IFRS financial income and expenses
In the fourth quarter 2016, non-IFRS financial income and expenses was an expense of EUR 72 million. This includes an impairment charge of EUR 63 million related to the performance of certain private funds investing in IPR, which was largely offset by foreign exchange gains mainly resulting from US dollar appreciation against Chinese yuan, as well as gains from venture fund distributions.
Non-IFRS taxes
In the fourth quarter 2016, non-IFRS income taxes were an expense of EUR 204 million. In the fourth quarter 2016, Nokia’s non-IFRS tax rate of 23% was lower than the approximately 40% outlook we previously provided. This was primarily related to two factors. First, there was a favorable change in Nokia’s regional profitability mix, the majority of which was non-recurring in nature and related to a change of estimate in Q4 2016. Second, compared to the expected profitability underlying Nokia’s non-IFRS tax rate guidance, the level of realized profitability was higher, resulting in a lower non-IFRS tax rate due to a relatively larger portion of taxable profit being attributable to tax jurisdictions with lower tax rates.
NOKIA IN Q4 2016 — REPORTED
FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Net sales
Nokia net sales increased 84% year-on-year, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, and increased 13% sequentially. On a constant currency basis, Nokia net sales would have increased 84% year-on-year, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, and 10% sequentially.
Year-on-year discussion
The year-on-year increase in Nokia net sales in the fourth quarter 2016, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, was primarily due to growth in Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other, both of which primarily related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent. This was partially offset by Nokia Technologies and a purchase price allocation adjustment related to a reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.
Sequential discussion
The sequential increase in Nokia net sales in the fourth quarter 2016 was primarily due to growth in Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other. This was partially offset by Nokia Technologies and the negative impact related to a purchase price allocation adjustment associated with a 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
The year-on-year decrease in Nokia operating profit, compared to Nokia standalone operating profit, was primarily due to higher research and development (“R&D”) expenses, higher selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit, all of which primarily related 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 both product portfolio integration costs and deferred revenue, as well as Nokia Technologies.
The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, non-IFRS exclusions related to both amortization of intangible assets and product portfolio integration costs and, to a lesser extent, Group Common and Other and Nokia Technologies.
The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, non-IFRS exclusions related to both amortization of intangible assets and transaction and integration related costs and, to a lesser extent, Nokia Technologies and Group Common and Other.
Nokia’s other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 110 million in the fourth quarter 2016, compared to an expense of EUR 3 million in the year-ago period. The net negative fluctuation was primarily related to non-IFRS exclusions attributable to higher restructuring and associated charges, partially offset by the absence of an approximately EUR 20 million loss recorded in the fourth quarter 2015, which related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds.
Sequential discussion
Nokia operating profit increased primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses, as well as higher R&D and SG&A expenses.
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 Nokia Technologies and non-IFRS exclusions.
The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business.
The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, non-IFRS exclusions and Nokia Technologies.
Nokia’s other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 110 million in the fourth quarter 2016, compared to an expense of EUR 39 million in the third quarter 2016. The net negative fluctuation was primarily due to higher restructuring and associated charges.

(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.
Non-IFRS exclusions in net sales
In the fourth quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in net sales amounted to EUR 74 million, and related to a purchase price allocation adjustment related to a reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.
Non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit
In the fourth quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit amounted to EUR 622 million, and were primarily due to non-IFRS exclusions that negatively affected gross profit, R&D, SG&A and other income and expenses as follows:
In the fourth quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in gross profit amounted to EUR 159 million, and were primarily due to product portfolio integration costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, and the deferred revenue.
In the fourth quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in R&D expenses amounted to EUR 185 million, and were primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and, to a lesser extent, product portfolio integration costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.
In the fourth quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in SG&A expenses amounted to EUR 162 million, and were primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, as well as integration and transaction related costs.
In the fourth quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in other income and expenses amounted to EUR 116 million, and were primarily due to EUR 107 million of restructuring and associated charges for Nokia’s cost reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives.
Financial income and expenses
In the fourth quarter 2016, financial income and expenses was an expense of EUR 72 million. This includes an impairment charge of EUR 63 million related to the performance of certain private funds investing in IPR, which was largely offset by foreign exchange gains mainly resulting from US dollar appreciation against Chinese yuan, as well as gains from venture fund distributions.
Taxes
In the fourth quarter 2016, income taxes were a benefit of EUR 401 million. This was primarily related to two factors. First, following the completion of the squeeze-out of the remaining Alcatel-Lucent shares, Nokia has launched actions to integrate the former Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia operating models. In the fourth quarter 2016, in connection with these integration activities, Nokia transferred certain intellectual property to its US operations, recording a tax benefit and additional deferred tax assets of EUR 348 million. Second, for US tax purposes Nokia elected to treat the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent’s US operations as an asset purchase. The impact of this election was to utilize or forfeit existing deferred tax assets and record new deferred tax assets with a longer amortization period than the life of those forfeited assets. As a result of this, we recorded EUR 91 million of additional deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter 2016. In addition, there was a favorable change in Nokia’s regional profitability mix, the majority of which was non-recurring in nature and related to a change of estimate in the fourth quarter 2016.
Nokia will continue to make changes in its operating model in 2017. Due to this, in full year 2017, Nokia expects to record a reduction in deferred tax assets of approximately EUR 250 million, which
will have a negative non-recurring impact on tax expenses of approximately EUR 250 million, partly offsetting the recorded non-recurring tax benefit of EUR 348 million in the fourth quarter 2016. The operating model changes, including the transfers of intellectual property and certain tax elections that Nokia has made, resulted in non-recurring cash outflows of approximately EUR 90 million in the fourth quarter 2016 and are expected to result in additional non-recurring cash outflows in 2017 of approximately EUR 150 million. The changes are expected to create more future cash tax savings than the additional non-recurring cash tax outflows in 2016 and 2017.
Cost savings program
The following table summarizes the financial information related to our cost savings program, as of the end of the fourth quarter 2016.

In full year 2016, the actual total cost savings benefitted from lower incentive accruals, related to the financial performance in full year 2016. Lower incentive accruals drove more than half of the higher than previously expected decrease in total costs in 2016, and this is expected to reverse in 2017, assuming full year 2017 financial performance in-line with our expectations. On a cumulative basis, Nokia continues to be well on track to achieve the targeted EUR 1.2 billion of total cost savings in full year 2018. To the extent that our actual full year 2016 charges and cash flows deviated from our previous expectations, future expectations have been adjusted accordingly.
OUTLOOK
|
| Metric |
| Guidance |
| Commentary |
Nokia |
| 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(1) |
| Compared to the combined non-IFRS operating costs of Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent for full year 2015, excluding Nokia Technologies. Nokia expects approximately EUR 800 million of the cost savings to come from operating expenses and approximately EUR 400 million from cost of sales.
Restructuring and associated charges are expected to total approximately EUR 1.7 billion. Restructuring and associated cash outflows are expected to total approximately EUR 2.15 billion. |
|
| Network equipment swaps |
| Approximately EUR 900 million in total(1) |
| The charges related to network equipment swaps are being recorded as non-IFRS exclusions, and therefore do not affect Nokia’s non-IFRS operating profit. |
|
| Non-IFRS financial income and expenses |
| Expense of approximately EUR 300 million in full year 2017 |
| 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 of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain balance sheet items. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Nokia expects cash outflows related to financial income and expenses to be approximately EUR 200 million in full year 2017. |
|
| Non-IFRS tax rate |
| Between 30% and 35% for full year 2017(2) |
| Nokia expects its non-IFRS tax rate for full year 2017 to be around the midpoint of the guidance range, with the non-IFRS tax rate for Q1 2017 between 35% and 40%. (This is an update to earlier commentary for the non-IFRS tax rate for full year 2017 to be at the high end of the guidance range.)
Nokia expects cash outflows related to taxes to be approximately EUR 600 million for full year 2017. (This is an update to earlier commentary for cash outflows related to taxes to be approximately EUR 400 million for full year 2017.) |

| 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 full year 2017. If no new licensing agreements are signed, the annualized net sales run rate for patent and brand licensing would be approximately EUR 800 million in 2017, representing approximately 30% of the global smartphone market, by value, under license.
Nokia expects total net sales from Digital Health and Digital Media to grow year-on-year in full year 2017, primarily influenced by increased consumer adoption of our Digital Health and Digital Media products. |

Report for Q4 and Full Year 2016
Operating margin for Nokia’s Networks business at the high end of our guidance range for full year 2016
Financial highlights
· Non-IFRS net sales in Q4 2016 of EUR 6.7bn (reported: EUR 6.6bn). In the year-ago quarter, non-IFRS net sales would have been EUR 7.7bn on a comparable combined company basis (reported: EUR 3.6bn on a Nokia stand-alone basis).
· Non-IFRS diluted EPS in Q4 2016 of EUR 0.12 (reported: EUR 0.11) benefited by approximately EUR 0.02-0.03 due to the Q4 2016 non-IFRS tax rate coming in at 23% compared to our guidance.
· Non-IFRS diluted EPS in full year 2016 of EUR 0.22 (reported: negative EUR 0.13).
· Nokia’s Board of Directors will propose a dividend of EUR 0.17 per share for 2016 (EUR 0.16 per share for 2015).
Nokia’s Networks business
· 14% year-on-year net sales decrease in Q4 2016, reflecting challenging market conditions in Q4 2016 and the difficult comparison against the strong performance by Alcatel-Lucent in Q4 2015.
· Strong Q4 2016 gross margin of 40.6% and operating margin of 14.1%, supported by continued focus on operational excellence and cost controls.
· Operating margin of 8.9% in full year 2016, at the high end of our guidance range of 7-9%.
Nokia Technologies
· 25% year-on-year net sales decrease and 49% operating profit decrease in Q4 2016, primarily due to the absence of the Samsung arbitration award, which benefited Q4 2015. The declines were partially offset by the expanded intellectual property rights (“IPR”) license agreement with Samsung announced in Q3 2016 and divested IPR. In addition, the acquisition of Withings helped to offset the decline in net sales.
Group Common and Other
· 34% year-on-year net sales increase in Q4 2016, with particularly strong growth in Alcatel Submarine Networks.

(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 in the Financial statement information in this report. A reconciliation of the Q4 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 Financial statement information section in 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 Financial statement information section in 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.
(4)Reported Q1-Q4’16 result is not comparable to the reported results published previously due to an update to the Alcatel-Lucent purchase price allocation in Q3’16 which resulted in an adjustment to the reported Q1’16 income tax benefit. Refer to note 6, “Acquisitions”, in the Financial statement information section in this report.
Nokia and Apple patent license renewal
In December 2016, Nokia announced that it had begun filing complaints against Apple, alleging that Apple products infringe Nokia patents. As of today, in actions across 11 countries in Asia, Europe and the US, there are now more than 50 Nokia patents in suit, covering technologies such as display, user interface, software, antenna, chipsets, video coding, as well as 3G & 4G cellular standards. Apple has also filed certain complaints against Nokia.
As one of the world’s leading innovators, and following the acquisition of full ownership of Nokia Siemens Networks in 2013 and Alcatel-Lucent in 2016, Nokia now owns three valuable portfolios of intellectual property. Built on more than EUR 115 billion invested in research and development (“R&D”) over the past twenty years, the tens of thousands of patents cover many important technologies used in smartphones, tablets, personal computers and similar devices.
The previous license agreement between Nokia and Apple, covering some patents from the Nokia Technologies portfolio, expired at the end of 2016 and Apple currently has no license under Nokia patents. Despite sustained efforts by Nokia, Apple has not accepted any licensing offers Nokia has made for the previously licensed patents, as well as for other patented inventions used by many of Apple’s products.
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.
Financial discussion
The financial discussion included in this financial report of Nokia’s results comprises 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 changes to our reportable segments, please refer to note 3, “Segment information and eliminations”, in the Financial statement information section in this financial report.
In the discussion of Nokia’s results in the fourth quarter 2016 comparisons are given to the fourth quarter 2015 and third 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 Nokia’s stock exchange release published on April 22, 2016. These adjustments also include 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 also affect numbers presented in this financial report for 2015.
In the discussion of Nokia’s reported results for the fourth quarter 2016 and full year 2016 comparisons are given to the fourth quarter 2015 and full year 2015 Nokia standalone historical results, which have been recast to reflect Nokia’s updated segment reporting structure excluding Alcatel-Lucent, unless otherwise indicated. From the beginning of 2016, Nokia’s results include those of Alcatel-Lucent on a consolidated basis and, accordingly, are not directly comparable to Nokia standalone historical results.
CEO statement
2016 was a time of transition for Nokia, a year in which we moved forward deliberately and successfully to execute our strategy and broaden our scope.
At the start of the year, Nokia was focused primarily on mobile networks. We ended the year as a company with a complete portfolio spanning mobile, fixed, routing, optical, stand-alone software and more; with solid opportunities to drive higher returns through expansion into new customer segments; with emerging businesses in digital health and digital media; and with greatly expanded patent and brand licensing activities.
Pleasingly, we saw growing customer support for Nokia’s strategy. Our sales pipeline with customers beyond our traditional communication service provider base accelerated over the course of the year, we saw an increasing share of our Networks pipeline coming from opportunities covering products and services from two or more of our business groups, and the potential of cross-selling started to become a reality.
We also ended the year having successfully concluded the integration of Alcatel-Lucent faster than anticipated, allowing us to shift our full focus to cost savings, continuous improvement programs and the execution of our strategy. In terms of financial performance, we were able to deliver solid results for the full year, with profitability in our Networks business coming in at the high end of our guidance range. Our ongoing intense focus on execution, cost management and pricing discipline was critical to offset the impact of challenging market conditions over the course of the year. While I remain disappointed with our topline development in 2016, we continue to expect our performance to improve in 2017 and see the potential for margin expansion in 2017 and beyond, as market conditions improve and our sales transformation programs gain further traction.
In short, we ended 2016 positioned well for the future, with well-integrated operations, a powerful end-to-end portfolio and our disciplined operating model still delivering robust results. In addition, we remain in a position of financial strength, with a strong balance sheet and the flexibility to invest in opportunities that we believe will create shareholder value.

Non-IFRS financial income and expenses
In the fourth quarter 2016, non-IFRS financial income and expenses was an expense of EUR 72 million. This includes an impairment charge of EUR 63 million related to the performance of certain private funds investing in IPR, which was largely offset by foreign exchange gains mainly resulting from US dollar appreciation against Chinese yuan, as well as gains from venture fund distributions.
Non-IFRS taxes
In the fourth quarter 2016, non-IFRS income taxes were an expense of EUR 204 million. In the fourth quarter 2016, Nokia’s non-IFRS tax rate of 23% was lower than the approximately 40% outlook we previously provided. This was primarily related to two factors. First, there was a favorable change in Nokia’s regional profitability mix, the majority of which was non-recurring in nature and related to a change of estimate in Q4 2016. Second, compared to the expected profitability underlying Nokia’s non-IFRS tax rate guidance, the level of realized profitability was higher, resulting in a lower non-IFRS tax rate due to a relatively larger portion of taxable profit being attributable to tax jurisdictions with lower tax rates.

Financial discussion
Net sales
Nokia net sales increased 84% year-on-year, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, and increased 13% sequentially. On a constant currency basis, Nokia net sales would have increased 84% year-on-year, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, and 10% sequentially.
Year-on-year discussion
The year-on-year increase in Nokia net sales in the fourth quarter 2016, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, was primarily due to growth in Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other, both of which primarily related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent. This was partially offset by Nokia Technologies and a purchase price allocation adjustment related to a reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.
Sequential discussion
The sequential increase in Nokia net sales in the fourth quarter 2016 was primarily due to growth in Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other. This was partially offset by Nokia Technologies and the negative impact related to a purchase price allocation adjustment associated with a 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
The year-on-year decrease in Nokia operating profit, compared to Nokia standalone operating profit, was primarily due to higher research and development (“R&D”) expenses, higher selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit, all of which primarily related 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 both product portfolio integration costs and deferred revenue, as well as Nokia Technologies.
The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, non-IFRS exclusions related to both amortization of intangible assets and product portfolio integration costs and, to a lesser extent, Group Common and Other and Nokia Technologies.
The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, non-IFRS exclusions related to both amortization of intangible assets and transaction and integration related costs and, to a lesser extent, Nokia Technologies and Group Common and Other.
Nokia’s other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 110 million in the fourth quarter 2016, compared to an expense of EUR 3 million in the year-ago period. The net negative fluctuation was primarily related to non-IFRS exclusions attributable to higher restructuring and associated charges, partially offset by the absence of an approximately EUR 20 million loss recorded in the fourth quarter 2015, which related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds.
Sequential discussion
Nokia operating profit increased primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses, as well as higher R&D and SG&A expenses.
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 Nokia Technologies and non-IFRS exclusions.
The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business.
The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, non-IFRS exclusions and Nokia Technologies.
Nokia’s other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 110 million in the fourth quarter 2016, compared to an expense of EUR 39 million in the third quarter 2016. The net negative fluctuation was primarily due to higher restructuring and associated charges.
Description of non-IFRS exclusions in Q4 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, Continuing Operations (unaudited)”, in the Financial statement information section in this financial 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.
Non-IFRS exclusions in net sales
In the fourth quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in net sales amounted to EUR 74 million, and related to a purchase price allocation adjustment related to a reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.
Non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit
In the fourth quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit amounted to EUR 622 million, and were primarily due to non-IFRS exclusions that negatively affected gross profit, R&D, SG&A and other income and expenses as follows:
In the fourth quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in gross profit amounted to EUR 159 million, and were primarily due to product portfolio integration costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, and the deferred revenue.
In the fourth quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in R&D expenses amounted to EUR 185 million, and were primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and, to a lesser extent, product portfolio integration costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.
In the fourth quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in SG&A expenses amounted to EUR 162 million, and were primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, as well as integration and transaction related costs.
In the fourth quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in other income and expenses amounted to EUR 116 million, and were primarily due to EUR 107 million of restructuring and associated charges for Nokia’s cost reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives.
Financial income and expenses
In the fourth quarter 2016, financial income and expenses was an expense of EUR 72 million. This includes an impairment charge of EUR 63 million related to the performance of certain private funds investing in IPR, which was largely offset by foreign exchange gains mainly resulting from US dollar appreciation against Chinese yuan, as well as gains from venture fund distributions.
Taxes
In the fourth quarter 2016, income taxes were a benefit of EUR 401 million. This was primarily related to two factors. First, following the completion of the squeeze-out of the remaining Alcatel-Lucent shares, Nokia has launched actions to integrate the former Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia operating models. In the fourth quarter 2016, in connection with these integration activities, Nokia transferred certain intellectual property to its US operations, recording a tax benefit and additional deferred tax assets of EUR 348 million. Second, for US tax purposes Nokia elected to treat the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent’s US operations as an asset purchase. The impact of this election was to utilize or forfeit existing deferred tax assets and record new deferred tax assets with a longer amortization period than the life of those forfeited assets. As a result of this, we recorded EUR 91 million of additional deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter 2016. In addition, there was a favorable change in Nokia’s regional profitability mix, the majority of which was non-recurring in nature and related to a change of estimate in the fourth quarter 2016.
Nokia will continue to make changes in its operating model in 2017. Due to this, in full year 2017, Nokia expects to record a reduction in deferred tax assets of approximately EUR 250 million, which will have a negative non-recurring impact on tax expenses of approximately EUR 250 million, partly offsetting the recorded non-recurring tax benefit of EUR 348 million in the fourth quarter 2016. The operating model changes, including the transfers of intellectual property and certain tax elections that Nokia has made, resulted in non-recurring cash outflows of approximately EUR 90 million in the fourth quarter 2016 and are expected to result in additional non-recurring cash outflows in 2017 of approximately EUR 150 million. The changes are expected to create more future cash tax savings than the additional non-recurring cash tax outflows in 2016 and 2017.
Cost savings program
The following table summarizes the financial information related to our cost savings program, as of the end of the fourth quarter 2016.

In full year 2016, the actual total cost savings benefitted from lower incentive accruals, related to the financial performance in full year 2016. Lower incentive accruals drove more than half of the higher than previously expected decrease in total costs in 2016, and this is expected to reverse in 2017, assuming full year 2017 financial performance in-line with our expectations. On a cumulative basis, Nokia continues to be well on track to achieve the targeted EUR 1.2 billion of total cost savings in full year 2018. To the extent that our actual full year 2016 charges and cash flows deviated from our previous expectations, future expectations have been adjusted accordingly.

Financial discussion
Net sales
IP Networks and Applications net sales decreased 12% year-on-year and increased 22% sequentially. On a constant currency basis, IP Networks and Applications net sales would have decreased 12% year-on-year and increased 20% sequentially.
Year-on-year discussion
The year-on-year decrease in IP Networks and Applications net sales in the fourth 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. For IP routing, the decrease was primarily related to Latin America, Europe and Greater China. In addition, IP routing net sales were negatively affected by lower resale of third party IP routers. For optical networks, the decrease was primarily related to Latin America, Europe and Greater China, partially offset by growth in Asia-Pacific and North America.
In the fourth quarter 2016, Applications & Analytics net sales declined year-on-year primarily in Europe and North America, where the spending environment remained challenging and large projects signed in 2015 neared completion. To drive growth and higher returns, building a standalone software business at scale is a key priority for Nokia. Thus, Applications & Analytics has started a significant transformation, enabled by investments in sales, R&D and services capabilities. These efforts resulted in several major wins in emerging businesses in the fourth quarter 2016, as well as slight year-on-year growth in Latin America and the Middle East & Africa.
Sequential discussion

On a year-on-year basis, in the fourth quarter 2016, IP Networks and Applications operating profit decreased primarily due to lower gross profit and, to a lesser extent, due to a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses.
The decrease in IP Networks and Applications gross profit was due to both IP/Optical Networks and Applications & Analytics. The decrease in gross profit in IP/Optical Networks was primarily due to lower net sales. The decrease in gross profit in Applications & Analytics was due to lower net sales. This was partially offset by higher gross margin, primarily due to tight control of other direct cost and inventory variances.
IP Networks and Applications other income and expenses was approximately zero in the fourth quarter 2016, compared to an income of EUR 23 million in the year-ago quarter. On a year-on-year basis, the change was primarily related to doubtful account allowances in IP/Optical Networks.

Licensing
Nokia’s exclusive brand licensee for mobile phones and tablets, HMD Global Oy, began operations as the new home of Nokia phones. HMD announced new Nokia branded feature phones and plans to launch Nokia branded smartphones during the first half of 2017. Nokia receives royalty payments from HMD for sales of every Nokia branded mobile phone and tablet, covering both brand and intellectual property rights.
Nokia began litigation against Apple for patent infringement in Asia, Europe and the US, for patents covering technologies such as display, user interface, software, antenna, chipsets and video coding. Since agreeing a license in 2011 covering some patents from the Nokia Technologies portfolio, Apple declined subsequent offers made by Nokia to license other patented inventions used by many Apple products, including the iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Apple Watch. The 2011 license agreement expired at the end of 2016.
Digital Media and Digital Health
In a multi-year global agreement, Sony Pictures agreed to use Nokia OZO hardware and software to explore the creative potential of virtual reality production and distribution. Sony Pictures will also integrate the OZO Player SDK into the studios’ Privilege Plus app, which is available through Google Play.

Financial discussion
Net sales
In the fourth quarter 2016, Nokia Technologies net sales decreased 25% year-on-year and 12% sequentially. On a constant currency basis, Nokia Technologies net sales would have decreased 25% year-on-year and decreased 13% sequentially.
Year-on-year discussion
The year-on-year decrease in Nokia Technologies net sales in the fourth quarter 2016 was primarily related to the absence of non-recurring adjustments totaling approximately EUR 200 million resulting from the settled arbitration which benefitted the year-ago quarter and, to a lesser extent, lower licensing income from certain existing licensees that experienced decreases in handset sales. This was partially offset by higher net sales related to an expanded IPR license agreement, divested IPR and the acquisition of Withings.
Sequential discussion
The sequential decrease in Nokia Technologies net sales in the fourth quarter 2016 was primarily related to the absence of approximately EUR 100 million of non-recurring net sales related to an expanded IPR license agreement and, to a lesser extent, lower licensing income from certain existing licensees that experienced decreases in handset sales. This was partially offset by higher net sales related to divested IPR and the acquisition of Withings.
Operating profit
Year-on-year discussion
The year-on-year decrease in Nokia Technologies operating profit was primarily due to lower gross profit and higher SG&A expenses, partially offset by lower R&D expenses.
The decrease in Nokia Technologies gross profit was due to lower net sales and lower gross margin. The lower gross margin was primarily due to a higher proportion of digital health and digital media net sales, both of which carry a lower gross margin than patent and brand licensing.
The decrease in Nokia Technologies R&D expenses was primarily due to 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 higher marketing costs in digital health, as well as increased licensing activities.

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 Financial statement information section in 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 fourth quarter 2016, Nokia’s total cash and other liquid assets decreased by EUR 65 million and Nokia’s net cash and other liquid assets decreased by EUR 240 million.
Foreign exchange rates had an approximately EUR 160 million positive impact on net cash.
During the fourth quarter 2016, the remaining unsettled Alcatel-Lucent convertible bonds were settled. These bonds were reclassified from interest-bearing liabilities to other liabilities in Q3 2016, and therefore, the settlement resulted in an approximately EUR 40 million negative impact to net cash in the fourth quarter 2016.
On a sequential basis, net cash and other liquid assets were affected by the following factors:
In the fourth quarter 2016, Nokia’s net cash from operating activities was approximately positive EUR 510 million:
· Nokia’s adjusted net profit before changes in net working capital was EUR 1 021 million in the fourth quarter 2016.
· Total cash outflows related to working capital were approximately EUR 310 million.
· Nokia had approximately EUR 130 million of restructuring and associated cash outflows in the fourth quarter 2016. Excluding this, net working capital generated a decrease in net cash of approximately EUR 180 million, primarily due to an increase in receivables, partially offset by decrease in inventories and an increase in short-term liabilities.
· The cash outflows related to the increase in receivables were approximately EUR 420 million.
· The cash inflows related to the decrease in inventories were approximately EUR 220 million.
· The cash inflows related to the increase in short-term liabilities were approximately EUR 20 million.
· In addition, Nokia’s cash outflows related to income taxes were approximately EUR 180 million and cash outflows of approximately EUR 20 million related to net interest. In the fourth quarter 2016, the cash outflows related to income taxes included a non-recurring tax payment of approximately EUR 90 million primarily due to the integration of the former Alcatel-Lucent and former Nokia operating models into one combined operating model.
In the fourth quarter 2016, Nokia’s net cash outflows from investing activities primarily related to decreases in net cash of approximately EUR 40 million due to the acquisition of businesses and approximately EUR 120 million due to capital expenditures, partially offset by cash inflows of approximately EUR 20 million related to the foreign exchange impact on short-term loans receivable and cash inflows of approximately EUR 20 million related to the disposal of businesses and sale of fixed assets.
In the fourth quarter 2016, Nokia’s net cash outflows from financing activities primarily related to the purchase of Alcatel-Lucent securities of approximately EUR 510 million and approximately EUR 220 million due to the commencement of Nokia’s share repurchasing program.

Financial discussion
Net sales
In full year 2016, Nokia net sales increased 89% year-on-year on both a reported and constant currency basis.
The year-on-year increase in Nokia net sales in full year 2016 was primarily due to growth in Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other, primarily related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and, to a lesser extent, growth in Nokia Technologies. The growth was partially offset by non-IFRS exclusions related to a reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of acquisition.
Operating profit
In full year 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.
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 valuation of inventory and deferred revenue and product portfolio integration costs, all of which primarily related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.
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, product portfolio integration costs, as well as Group Common and Other, all of which primarily related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, in addition to Nokia Technologies.
The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, non-IFRS exclusions related to amortization of intangible assets and transaction and integration related costs and Group Common and Other, all of which primarily related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, as well as Nokia Technologies.
Nokia’s other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 833 million in full year 2016, compared to an income of EUR 12 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 related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds.
Following the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, our foreign exchange hedging activities were reviewed in order to develop harmonized hedging practices and simplify financial reporting. As of the first quarter 2017, all results from hedging operative forecasted net foreign exchange exposures will be recorded in other income and expenses, regardless of whether hedge accounting is applied or not. Previously, these hedging results were recorded primarily as an adjustment to net sales if cash flow hedge accounting was applied.
(Loss)/profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent
In full year 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 full year 2016, compared to an operating profit in full year 2015 and, to a lesser extent, a net negative fluctuation in financial income and expenses, both of which primarily related 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 full year 2015. In addition, the loss attributable to the non-controlling interests was higher, as a result of the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.
The net negative fluctuation in financial income and expenses in full year 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 related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds.
The income tax benefit was primarily related to non-IFRS exclusions, which included an approximately EUR 700 million positive impact to income taxes as a result of non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit and a non-recurring tax benefit of EUR 439 million resulting from the integration of the former Alcatel-Lucent and former Nokia operating models into one combined operating model during the fourth quarter 2016.
Descriptions of non-IFRS exclusions in full year 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, Continuing Operations (unaudited)”, in the Financial statement information section in this financial report.

Accordingly, Nokia results beginning from the first quarter 2016 are not directly comparable to prior period Nokia standalone results.
(2)Reported Q1-Q4’16 result is not comparable to the reported results published previously due to an update to the Alcatel-Lucent purchase price allocation in Q3’16 which resulted in an adjustment to the reported Q1’16 income tax benefit. Refer to note 6, “Acquisitions”, in the Financial statement information section in this report for further details.
Non-IFRS exclusions in net sales
In full year 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in net sales amounted to EUR 331 million, and related to a purchase price allocation adjustment related to a reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.
Non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit
In full year 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit amounted to EUR 3 272 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 full year 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in gross profit amounted to EUR 1 133 million, and primarily related to the increased valuation of inventory that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition and the deferred revenue. The increased valuation of inventory 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 full year 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in R&D expenses amounted to EUR 683 million, and primarily related to the amortization of intangible assets and, to a lesser extent, product portfolio integration costs resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.
In full year 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in SG&A expenses amounted to EUR 685 million, and primarily related to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent transaction, as well as transaction and integration related costs.
In full year 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in other income and expenses amounted to an expense of EUR 772 million, and primarily related to EUR 759 million of restructuring and associated charges.
Non-IFRS exclusions in profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent
In full year 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent amounted to EUR 2 027 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 full year 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in financial income and expenses amounted to an expense of EUR 41 million, and primarily related to the early redemption of the Alcatel-Lucent 2017 and 2020 high yield bonds in February 2016.
In full year 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in income taxes amounted to a benefit of EUR 1 151 million. The benefit was primarily due to an approximately EUR 700 million positive impact to income taxes as a result of non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit and a non-recurring tax benefit of EUR 439 million resulting from the integration of the former Alcatel-Lucent and former Nokia operating models into one combined operating model during the fourth quarter 2016.

Operating profit
On a year-on-year basis, in full year 2016, Nokia’s Networks business operating profit increased primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher R&D expenses and SG&A expenses.
The higher gross profit was due to both IP Networks and Applications and Ultra Broadband Networks, primarily related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.
The higher R&D expenses were due to both IP Networks and Applications and Ultra Broadband Networks, primarily related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.
The higher SG&A expenses were due to both Ultra Broadband Networks and IP Networks and Applications, primarily related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.
Nokia’s Networks business other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 40 million in full year 2016, compared to an income of EUR 26 million in full year 2015. On a year-on-year basis, the change was due to both Ultra Broadband Networks and IP Networks and Applications, primarily related to doubtful accounts allowances.

Financial discussion
Net sales
In full year 2016, Nokia Technologies net sales increased 3% year-on-year on both a reported and constant currency basis.
The year-on-year increase in Nokia Technologies net sales in full year 2016 was primarily due to higher IPR licensing income and the acquisition of Withings. This was partially offset by the absence of non-recurring
adjustments to accrued net sales from existing and new agreements, and lower licensing income from certain existing licensees.
Operating profit
The year-on-year decrease in Nokia Technologies operating profit for full year 2016 was primarily due to higher SG&A and R&D expenses.
The increase in R&D expenses in Nokia Technologies was primarily due to the inclusion of Bell Labs’ patent portfolio costs, resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, and higher investments in the areas of digital media and digital health. The higher R&D expenses in digital health was primarily due to the acquisition of Withings. This was partially offset by the focusing of general research investments towards more specific opportunities.
The increase in Nokia Technologies SG&A expenses was primarily due to the ramp-up of digital health and digital media, higher business support costs and increased licensing activity. The higher SG&A expenses in digital health was primarily due to the acquisition of Withings.

Net sales
Group Common and Other net sales increased to EUR 1 145 million in full year 2016, compared to approximately zero in full year 2015.
The year-on-year increase in Group Common and Other net sales in full year 2016 was primarily due Alcatel Submarine Networks and Radio Frequency Systems net sales, both of which related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.
Operating profit
On a year-on-year basis, in full year 2016, Group Common and Other operating loss increased, primarily due to higher R&D and SG&A expenses and 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 higher gross profit in Alcatel Submarine Networks and Radio Frequency Systems, both of which 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 to higher central function costs, related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.
Group Common and Other other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 21 million in full year 2016, compared to an income of EUR 92 million in full year 2015.

(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 full year 2016, Nokia’s total cash and other liquid assets decreased by EUR 522 million and Nokia’s net cash and other liquid assets decreased by EUR 2 476 million. Nokia’s total cash and other liquid assets decreased EUR 1 954 million less 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 160 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 full year 2016, Nokia’s net cash from operating activities was negative EUR 1.5 billion:
· Nokia’s adjusted net profit before changes in net working capital was EUR 2 334 million in full year 2016.
· Total cash outflows related to working capital of approximately EUR 3.1 billion.
· Nokia had approximately EUR 590 million of restructuring and associated cash outflows in full year 2016. Excluding this, net working capital generated a decrease in net cash of approximately EUR 2.5 billion, primarily due to a decrease in short-term liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in inventories and decrease in receivables.
· The cash outflows related to short-term liabilities of approximately EUR 2.5 billion were negatively affected by amounts presented as separate adjustments to net profit in relation to restructuring charges and working capital charges related to the Alcatel-Lucent purchase price allocation. The remaining cash outflows were primarily impacted by a decline in accounts payable of approximately EUR 430 million (of which approximately EUR 350 million related to our actions to harmonize working capital processes and practices, particularly in the area of payables), the payment of incentives related to Alcatel-Lucent’s and Nokia’s strong business performance in 2015, the termination of Alcatel-Lucent’s license agreement with Qualcomm which resulted in approximately EUR 280 million of cash outflows and a negative impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on certain balance sheet items.
· The cash inflows related to the decrease in inventories were approximately EUR 20 million.
· The cash inflows related to the decrease in receivables were approximately EUR 20 million. There were offsetting large items. First, 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. This was offset by cash inflows related to an overall decline in receivables and cash inflows related to the catch-up payment from the Samsung arbitration award, announced on February 1, 2016.
· In addition, Nokia’s cash outflows related to income taxes were approximately EUR 500 million and cash outflows related to net interest were approximately EUR 220 million. In the fourth quarter 2016, the cash outflows related to income taxes included a non-recurring tax payment of approximately EUR 90 million primarily due to the integration of the former Alcatel-Lucent and former Nokia operating models into one combined operating model.
In full year 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 480 million due to capital expenditures and approximately EUR 350 million due to acquisition of businesses.
In full year 2016, Nokia’s net cash outflows from financing activities primarily related to the payment of the ordinary and special dividends, amounting to approximately EUR 1.5 billion, a decrease in net cash of approximately EUR 720 million related to the purchase of Alcatel-Lucent shares and the equity component of
the purchased Alcatel-Lucent convertible bonds and a decrease in net cash of approximately EUR 220 million due to the commencement of Nokia’s share repurchasing program.
Shares
On November 15, 2016, in line with its previously announced EUR 7 billion capital structure optimization program, the Nokia Board of Directors resolved to commence a share repurchase program under the authorization granted by the Nokia Annual General Meeting on June 16, 2016. The Board resolved to repurchase a maximum of 575 million Nokia shares up to an equivalent of EUR 1 billion. The program and the authorization granted by the Nokia Annual General Meeting on June 16, 2016 are valid until December 16, 2017.
The total number of Nokia shares on December 31, 2016, equaled 5 836 055 012. On December 31, 2016, Nokia and its subsidiary companies owned 115 551 878 Nokia shares, representing approximately 2.0% of the total number of Nokia shares and voting rights.
Dividend
Nokia’s Board of Director’s will propose a dividend of EUR 0.17 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The distributable funds on the balance sheet of the parent company as at December 31, 2016 amounted to EUR 19 628 million.

(1) Reported Q1-Q4’16 result is not comparable to the reported results published previously due to an update to the Alcatel-Lucent purchase price allocation in Q3’16 which resulted in an adjustment to the Reported Q1’16 income tax benefit. Refer to note 6, “Acquisitions”, for further details.
Consolidated statement of cash flows combines cash flows from both the continuing and the discontinued operations. The figures in the consolidated statement of cash flows cannot be directly traced from the statement of financial position without additional information as a result of acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries and net foreign exchange differences arising on consolidation.
Alcatel-Lucent ordinary shares and ADS’s and OCEANEs acquired in cash by Nokia subsequent to the closing of the reopened exchange offer are presented within cash flow from financing activities as purchases of equity instruments of subsidiaries and repayment of long-term borrowings, respectively. In relation to the Public Buy-Out Offer and Squeeze-Out, Nokia’s pledged cash asset of EUR 46 million in Q4 and EUR 678 million in Q3 to cover the purchase of the remaining Alcatel-Lucent securities was recorded within cash flow from investing activities as purchase of current available-for-sale investments, liquid assets. The amount of pledged cash released upon acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent securities of EUR 643 million in Q4 and EUR 81 million in Q3 was recorded within cash flow from investing activities as proceeds from maturities and sale of current available-for-sale investments, liquid assets with offsetting amounts recorded within cash flow from financing activities as purchases of equity instruments of subsidiaries and repayment of long-term borrowings.
The notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 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.

The notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 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.
Notes to Financial statements
1. Basis of preparation
This unaudited, consolidated, condensed financial statement information of Nokia has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (“IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting”). This condensed financial statement information should be read in conjunction with the 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 this financial statement information as was followed in the financial statements for 2015, except as described below in relation to the new segment reporting structure.
This financial report was authorized for issue by management on February 1, 2017.
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. As of the second quarter 2016, certain additional information and disclosure has been included in this financial statement information 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 (refer to note 6 “Acquisitions” for more details), Nokia has revised its financial reporting structure. We now 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 this financial statement information 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 this financial statement information 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.
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.

Exchange rates
Nokia is a company with global operations and net sales derived from various countries and invoiced in various currencies. Therefore, our business and results from operations are exposed to changes in exchange rates between the euro, our reporting currency, and other currencies, such as the US dollar and the Chinese yuan. To mitigate the impact of changes in exchange rates on our results, we hedge operative forecasted net foreign exchange exposures, typically within a 12-month horizon, and apply hedge accounting in the majority of cases.
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. 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, 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.

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”). In accordance with the AMF General Regulation Nokia reopened its exchange offer for the outstanding Alcatel-Lucent Securities not tendered during the initial exchange offer period on January 14, 2016 and closed the reopened offer on February 3, 2016. 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. Nokia issued a total of 1 776 379 756 new Nokia shares as consideration for the Alcatel-Lucent securities tendered in the exchange offer.
Alcatel-Lucent ordinary shares and ALU ADS’s acquired by Nokia subsequent to the closing of the reopened exchange offer (including through the Public Buy-Out Offer and the Squeeze-Out) were 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 were 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 was 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.
Subsequent to the exchange offer Nokia has carried out the following transactions relating to the acquisition of the remaining outstanding equity interests in Alcatel-Lucent not held by Nokia:
· 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).
Following these transactions, Nokia owned 95.32% of the share capital and 95.25% of the voting rights of Alcatel-Lucent, corresponding to 95.15% of the Alcatel-Lucent shares on a fully diluted basis.
On September 6, 2016, Nokia filed Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent’s draft joint offer document with the AMF relating to Nokia’s proposed public buy-out offer in cash for the remaining Alcatel-Lucent shares (the “Shares”) and OCEANEs it does not already own (the “Public Buy-Out Offer”). The Public Buy-Out Offer was followed by a squeeze-out in cash of the Shares and OCEANEs not tendered into the Public Buy-Out Offer (the “Squeeze-Out”, and together with the Public Buy-Out Offer, the “Offer”) in accordance with the General Regulation of the AMF.
Following the clearance decision of the Offer by the AMF on September 20, 2016, Nokia commenced the public buy-out offer on September 22, 2016 pursuant to which it proposed to all holders of the Shares and OCEANEs to acquire their securities. The financial terms of the Public Buy-Out Offer were as follows:
· EUR 3.50 per Alcatel-Lucent Share;
· EUR 4.51 per 2019 OCEANE; and
· EUR 4.50 per 2020 OCEANE.
In the Squeeze-Out, the Shares and OCEANEs not tendered into the Public Buy-Out Offer were to be transferred to Nokia for the same consideration as the above-mentioned consideration of the Public-Buy-Out Offer, net of all costs. The remaining outstanding Alcatel-Lucent stock options and performance shares were modified to settle in cash or Nokia shares.
On October 4, 2016, the AMF announced that a legal action was filed before the Paris Court of Appeal on September 30, 2016 for annulment of the AMF’s clearance decision regarding the Offer. In relation to the Offer, Nokia pledged EUR 678 million covering the purchase of the remaining Alcatel-Lucent securities. The pledge was constituted in connection with the obligation of Nokia’s presenting bank to guarantee the content and the irrevocable nature of Nokia’s commitments in relation to the Offer, pursuant to General Regulation of the AMF. The pledged amount was partially released upon the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent securities of equivalent amount in the Public Buy-out Offer.
On October 25, 2016, the AMF announced the continuation of the timetable of the Offer. Accordingly, the Public Buy-Out Offer period ended on October 31, 2016 and the Squeeze-Out was implemented on November 2, 2016, in accordance with the General Regulation of the AMF.
On November 2, 2016, as a result of the Public Buy-Out Offer and the Squeeze-Out, Nokia holds 100% of the share capital and the voting rights of Alcatel-Lucent. Alcatel-Lucent’s
Shares and OCEANEs were delisted from the regulated market of Euronext Paris on the same date.
On December 15, 2016, the plaintiffs withdrew their complaint. As a result of this settlement, the earlier commitments made by Nokia as a precautionary measure to the AMF in connection with its decision to proceed with the squeeze-out are no longer in force. Consequently, the funds and Alcatel-Lucent securities deposited into escrow accounts were released to Nokia and Nokia no longer has an obligation to maintain the integrity of the entity Alcatel Lucent S.A.
Purchase consideration
The purchase consideration comprises of the fair value of Alcatel-Lucent Securities obtained through the exchange offer, 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 completed the analyses related to the purchase accounting for the Alcatel-Lucent acquisition, including purchase price allocation. In connection with the purchase price allocation, Nokia recorded intangible assets, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities of EUR 5 711 million, EUR 2 328 million and EUR 425 million, respectively, to the Alcatel-Lucent opening statement of financial position. In comparison to the provisional purchase price allocation reported in Nokia’s third quarter 2016 financial statements, the additional adjustments recorded to complete the Alcatel-Lucent opening statement of financial position resulted in a decrease in goodwill of EUR 69 million. These adjustments relate to additional information and analysis conducted by Nokia that reflect facts and circumstances existing on the acquisition date.
In connection with Nokia’s third quarter 2016 earnings release, Nokia determined that certain adjustments to the fair value of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities had a significant subsequent impact on the income tax benefit recognized in Nokia’s first quarter 2016 income statement. Therefore, Nokia recorded a EUR 99 million adjustment to income tax benefit within its first quarter 2016 income statement. The impact from adjustments recorded in the fourth quarter 2016 to complete the purchase price allocation did not have a material subsequent impact to previous quarter financial statements and the subsequent impact of these adjustments was recorded cumulatively in Nokia’s fourth quarter 2016 financial statements.

The goodwill arising from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent amounts 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. Goodwill arising from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent was allocated to the four operating segments within Nokia’s Networks business.
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 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.

The acquired business contributed revenues of EUR 12 151 million and net loss of EUR 508 million to Nokia for the period from 4 January to 31 December 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 March 31, 2016, Nokia completed the acquisition of assets of Nakina Systems Inc, a Canadian security and operational systems software company. The acquisition complements Nokia’s existing security portfolio and helps its customers meet the growing requirements of network security. The goodwill arising from the acquisition was allocated to Applications and Analytics.
On May 31, 2016, Nokia closed its acquisition of Withings S.A., a provider of digital health products and services, to accelerate entry to Digital Health. The goodwill arising from the acquisition was allocated to Nokia Technologies.
On July 29, 2016, Nokia completed the acquisition of 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 complements Nokia’s current fiber access technologies for cable multiple-system operators and provides the end-to-end technology capabilities needed to support growing capacity requirements. The goodwill arising from the acquisition was allocated to Fixed Networks.
On October 4, 2016, Nokia completed the acquisition of ETA Devices, a US-based start-up specializing in power amplifier efficiency solutions for base stations, access points and devices. The acquisition enhances Nokia’s base station energy efficiency, an increasingly important area for operators on the path to 4.9G and 5G. The goodwill arising from the acquisition was allocated to Mobile Networks.
Other acquisitions completed in 2016 did not have a material impact, individually and in aggregate, to Nokia’s statement of financial position, comprehensive income or cash flows. The estimated aggregate purchase consideration paid, aggregate goodwill and fair value of intangible assets arising from these acquisitions amount to EUR 359 million, EUR 273 million and EUR 70 million, respectively. The purchase accounting for these acquisitions is partially provisional and Nokia will conduct additional analysis that may result in adjustments in the first quarter of 2017.
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 the Devices & Services Business in 2014.

8. PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, 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.
100% of Nokia’s defined benefit obligation and plan assets fair values were remeasured as of December 31, 2016. The remeasurement was provided by external actuaries through annual valuations as of December 31, 2016 for all of Nokia’s existing defined benefit obligations.
The weighted average discount rates used to measure Nokia’s pension and post-retirement obligations as of December 31, 2016 have been updated and were as follows:

9. DEFERRED TAXES, reported (unaudited)
At December 31, 2016, Nokia had recognized deferred tax assets of EUR 5.7 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 United States (EUR 2.5 billion) and Finland (EUR 2.2 billion). Based on the recent years’ profitability in the United States and Finland and the latest forecasts of future financial performance, Nokia has been able to establish a pattern of sufficient tax profitability in the United States 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. In 2016, Finland incurred an accounting loss due to significant integration and restructuring costs following the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, which may delay the utilization of the tax attributes in Finland.
At December 31, 2016, primarily due to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia had unrecognized deferred tax assets of approximately EUR 6 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 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.
At December 31, 2016, Nokia had deferred tax liabilities of EUR 0.4 billion. The majority of the deferred tax liabilities relate to the fair value adjustments on the purchase accounting of Alcatel-Lucent acquisition (refer to note 6 “Acquisitions”).
Following the completion of the squeeze-out of the remaining Alcatel-Lucent shares, Nokia has launched actions to integrate the former Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia operating models. In the fourth quarter of 2016, in connection with these integration activities, Nokia transferred certain intellectual property to its US operations, recording a tax benefit and additional deferred tax assets of EUR 348 million. Second, for US tax purposes Nokia elected to treat the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent’s US operations as an asset purchase. The impact of this election was to utilize or forfeit existing deferred tax assets and record new deferred tax assets with a longer amortization period than the life of those forfeited assets. As a result of this, Nokia recorded EUR 91 million of additional deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2016.
10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, 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 for exchange traded products, Level 2 being primarily based on quotes from third-party pricing services 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. The carrying amounts of these assets are tested for impairment using a discounted cash flow analysis if events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The fair values of long-term interest bearing liabilities are primarily based on quotes from third-party pricing services (level 2). The fair values of other assets and liabilities including loans receivable and loans payable are primarily based on discounted cash flow calculations (level 2). The fair value is estimated to equal the carrying amount for short-term financial assets and financial liabilities due to limited credit risk and short time to maturity.
Items included in the following table are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Level 3 includes a large number of investments in unlisted equities and unlisted venture funds, including investments managed by Nokia Growth Partners (“NGP”) 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:

The gains and losses from financial assets and liabilities categorized in level 3 are included in other operating income and expenses in cases where the investment and disposal objectives for these investments are business driven. In other cases the gains and losses are included in financial income and expenses. A net gain of EUR 6 million (net gain of EUR 4 million in 2015) related to level 3 financial instruments held at December 31, 2016, was included in the profit and loss during 2016.

(1) The reclassification from restructuring consists of EUR 87 million to accrued expenses. The reclassification from divestment consists of EUR 2 million to litigation. The reclassification from project losses consists of EUR 7 million to project inventory write-downs. The reclassification of EUR 39 million from other provisions consists of EUR 5 million to warranty, EUR 9 million to litigation, EUR 1 million to material liability and EUR 24 million to accrued expenses to better reflect the nature of these items.
As of December 31, 2016 Nokia restructuring provision amounted to EUR 713 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. During the third quarter the usage of the provision was EUR 36 million. During the fourth quarter the usage of the provision was EUR 62 million and EUR 42 was transferred to accrued expenses. In addition, the total amount of restructuring provision includes EUR 257 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.
Divestment related provisions relate to sale of businesses and include certain liabilities for which the Group is required to indemnify the buyer. Outflows related to the indemnifications are inherently uncertain. The warranty provisions relate to products sold. Outflows of warranty provisions are generally expected to occur within the next 18 months. Provisions for project losses relate to Networks onerous contracts. Utilization of provisions for project losses is generally expected to occur over the next 12 months. The litigation provision includes estimated potential future settlements for litigation. Outflows related to litigations are inherently uncertain and generally occur over several periods. The material liability provision relates to non-cancellable purchase commitments with suppliers. Outflows are expected to occur over the next 12 months. Other provisions include provisions for various contractual obligations and other obligations. Outflows related to other provisions are generally 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 88 million (EUR 74 million at December 31, 2015) as well as by certain Alcatel-Lucent entities for EUR 1 520 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, NGP announced the closing of a new USD 350 million fund for investments in 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) This line includes liabilities related to French R&D tax credits (i.e. “Crédits d’Impôt Recherche”) of EUR 132 million (EUR 0 million 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 S.A. 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.
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.
In September 2016 Nokia launched its Public Buy-Out Offer for all the securities of Alcatel-Lucent that it does not own. On October 4, 2016 the AMF announced that a legal action was filed before the Paris Court of Appeal on September 30, 2016 for annulment of the AMF’s clearance decision regarding the Offer. On October 25, 2016, the AMF announced the continuation of the timetable of the Offer. Accordingly, the Public Buy-Out Offer period ended on October 31, 2016 and the Squeeze-Out was implemented on November 2, 2016, in accordance with the General Regulation of the AMF.
All of the remaining Nokia borrowings are senior unsecured and have no financial covenants.
