REVIEW BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2011

Before the statutory information and other disclosures of the 
review by the Board of Directors, the Nokia Board of Directors 
notes that year  was a year of transition for Nokia, and 
that year  is expected to continue to be a year of transi-
tion. The Board continues to closely monitor the implementa-
tion of the strategy as well as the execution of operational 
activities, all with the goal of improving shareholder value. In 
the following, the Board of Directors outlines a brief summary 
of the key developments and actions in  and early .

»  New strategy and operational structure. In February , 

Nokia outlined its new strategic direction, including changes 
in leadership and operational structure to accelerate the 
company’s speed of execution in a dynamic competitive 
environment. In connection with the new Nokia strategy, 
Nokia and Microsoft announced plans to form a partnership 
that brings together their complementary strengths and 
expertise to create a new global mobile ecosystem. Under 
the partnership, Windows Phone serves as Nokia’s primary 
smartphone platform. Nokia and Microsoft signed a defi ni-
tive agreement on the partnership in April .

»  Changes to Nokia’s operations. Nokia announced a number of 
planned changes to Nokia’s operations during  and  
in connection with the implementation of the new strategy 
in Nokia’s Devices & Services business and the creation of 
Nokia’s new Location & Commerce business. The planned 
changes include substantial personnel reductions, site and 
facility closures and reconfi guration of certain facilities. 
Nokia expects personnel reductions to occur in phases until 
the end of . Nokia also launched a comprehensive social 
responsibility program for employees and communities likely 
to be aff ected by the personnel reductions. 

»  Collaboration with Accenture. In April , Nokia an-

nounced a strategic collaboration with Accenture resulting 
in the transfer of Nokia’s Symbian-based software develop-
ment and support services to Accenture. At the same time 
Accenture will provide mobility software services to Nokia 
for future smartphones. As a result of the transaction, ap-
proximately   employees transferred to Accenture.

»  Lumia products. Eight months after the announcement of 
Nokia’s new strategic direction, at the Nokia World event in 
October, Nokia demonstrated clear progress on its strategy 
by unveiling a portfolio of innovative devices, services and 
accessories, including the fi rst smartphones in its Windows 
Phone-based Nokia Lumia range, Nokia Lumia  and . 
In early , Nokia added to the Lumia range and an-
nounced the Nokia Lumia  and .

»  Symbian transition and Nokia N. During the transition to 
Windows Phone as Nokia’s primary smartphone platform, 
Nokia announced and started shipping various new Symbian 
devices and made available Symbian smartphone software 
updates. Nokia also announced and started shipping the N, 
the outcome of eff orts in Nokia’s MeeGo program.

»  Location & Commerce. As a natural next step in Nokia’s 
services journey, Nokia announced in June  its new 
Location & Commerce business, which was formed by com-
bining NAVTEQ with Nokia’s social location services opera-
tions from Devices & Services. The Location & Commerce 
business develops a new class of integrated social location 
products and services for consumers, as well as platform 
and local commerce services for device manufacturers, ap-
plication developers, Internet services providers, merchants 
and advertisers.

»  Nokia Siemens Networks. Some of the main events re-

garding Nokia Siemens Networks during  include the 
completion of Nokia Siemens Networks’ acquisition of 
Motorola Solutions’ Networks assets, which strengthened 
Nokia Siemens Networks’ position in key regions, particu-
larly North America and Japan, as well as with some of the 
world’s major service providers. Further, in November , 
Nokia Siemens Networks announced its strategy to focus on 
mobile broadband and services and the launch of an exten-
sive global restructuring program. 

»  Proposal for new Chairman of the Board of Directors. The 
current Chairman of the Board of Directors, Jorma Ollila, 
informed that he will no longer be available to serve on 
the Nokia Board of Directors after the Annual General 
Meeting . In January , the Corporate Governance 
and Nomination Committee announced that it will propose 
in the assembly meeting of the new Board of Directors 
after the Annual General Meeting on May ,  that Risto 
Siilasmaa be elected as Chairman of the Board.

CHANGE S  IN  OPER ATING  AND  REPORTABLE 
SEGMENTS
Nokia adopted its current operational structure during  
and has three businesses: Devices & Services, Location & 
Commerce and Nokia Siemens Networks. As of April , , 
Nokia’s Devices & Services business includes two operating 
and reportable segments – Smart Devices, which focuses on 
smartphones, and Mobile Phones, which focuses on mass 
market feature phones – as well as Devices & Services Other. 
Devices & Services Other includes net sales of Nokia’s luxury 
phone business Vertu, spare parts and related cost of sales 



N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 1

and operating expenses, as well as intellectual property re-
lated royalty income and common research and development 
expenses. 

Location & Commerce focuses on the development of 
location-based services and local commerce. NAVTEQ, which 
Nokia acquired in July , was a separate reportable seg-
ment of Nokia from the third quarter  until the end of 
the third quarter of . As of October , , the Location 
& Commerce business was formed as a new operating and 
reportable segment by combining NAVTEQ and Nokia’s Devices 
& Services social location services operations. 

For IFRS fi nancial reporting purposes, Nokia has four op-
erating and reportable segments: Smart Devices and Mobile 
Phones within Devices & Services, Location & Commerce 
and Nokia Siemens Networks. Prior period results have been 
regrouped and recast for comparability purposes according 
to the new reporting format that became eff ective on April , 
 and October , , respectively.

and feature phone markets. In addition, during the fi rst half 
of  Nokia’s net sales and profi tability were adversely af-
fected by Nokia’s lack of dual SIM products, which continued to 
be a growing part of the market. For Nokia Siemens Networks, 
net sales growth was driven primarily by the contribution 
from the acquired Motorola Solutions network infrastructure 
assets, which was completed in April . On a year-on-year 
basis the movement of the euro relative to relevant curren-
cies had almost no impact on Nokia’s overall net sales. 

The following table sets forth the distribution by geographi-
cal area of Nokia’s net sales for the fi scal years  and .

The  markets in which Nokia generated the greatest net 
sales in  were, in descending order of magnitude, China, 
India, Brazil, Russia, Germany, Japan, the United States, the 
United Kingdom, Italy and Spain, together representing ap-
proximately % of total net sales in . In comparison, the 
 markets in which Nokia generated the greatest net sales 
in  were China, India, Germany, Russia, the United States, 
Brazil, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy and Indonesia, togeth-
er representing approximately % of total net sales in . 

GROSS MARGIN 
Nokia’s gross margin in  was .%, compared to .% in 
. The lower gross margin in  resulted primarily from 
the decrease in gross margin in Devices & Services compared 
to , which was partially off  set by increased gross margin 
in Nokia Siemens Networks. 

NET SALES 
Although the mobile device industry continued to see volume 
growth in , Nokia’s net sales and profi tability were nega-
tively aff ected by the increasing momentum of competing 
smartphone platforms relative to Nokia’s Symbian smart-
phones in all regions as Nokia embarked on Nokia’s platform 
transition to Windows Phone, as well as Nokia’s pricing actions 
due to the competitive environment in both the smartphone 

OPERATING EXPENSES 
Nokia’s research and development (“R&D”) expenses were EUR 
  million in , compared to EUR   million in . Re-
search and development costs represented .% of Nokia’s 
net sales in  compared to .% in . The increase in 
R&D expenses as a percentage of net sales largely resulted 
from a relative decline in net sales in  compared to an 
increase in net sales and a decrease in research and develop-



 
 
  
 
R E V I E W   B Y   T H E   B O A R D   O F   D I R E C T O R S

ment expenses in . R&D expenses included purchase price 
accounting items and other special items of EUR  million 
in  compared to EUR  million in . At December , 
, Nokia employed   people in R&D, representing ap-
proximately % of Nokia’s total workforce, and had a strong 
R&D presence in  countries. 

 In , Nokia’s selling and marketing expenses were EUR 
  million, compared to EUR   million in . Selling 
and marketing expenses represented .% of Nokia’s net sales 
in  compared to .% in . The increase in selling and 
marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales refl ected 
a decline in net sales in  compared to an increase in net 
sales and a decrease in selling and marketing expenses in 
. Selling and marketing expenses included purchase price 
accounting items and other special items of EUR  million in 
 compared to EUR  million in . 

Administrative and general expenses were EUR   million 

in , unchanged compared to . Administrative and 
general expenses were equal to .% of Nokia’s net sales in 
 compared to .% in . The increase in administrative 
and general expenses as a percentage of net sales refl ected 
the decrease in net sales in . Administrative and general 
expenses included special items of EUR  million in  com-
pared to EUR  million in . 

In , other income and expenses included restructuring 
charges of EUR  million, impairment of assets of EUR  mil-
lion, consideration related to the Accenture transaction of EUR 
 million, impairment of shares in an associated company 
of EUR  million and a benefi t from a cartel claim settlement 
of EUR  million in . In , other income and expenses 
included restructuring charges of EUR  million, a prior year-
related refund of customs duties of EUR  million, a gain on 
sale of assets and businesses of EUR  million and a gain on 
sale of the wireless modem business of EUR  million. 

OPERATING MARGIN 
Nokia’s  operating loss was EUR   million, com-
pared with an operating profi t of EUR   million in . 
The decreased operating profi t resulted primarily from an 
impairment of goodwill of EUR . billion in Nokia’s Location & 
Commerce business and a decrease in the operating profi t in 
Nokia’s Devices & Services business, which was partially off  set 
by a decrease in the operating loss in Nokia Siemens Networks. 
Nokia’s  operating margin was – .% in , compared 
to .% in . Nokia’s operating profi t in  included pur-
chase price accounting items and other special items of net 
negative EUR   million compared to net negative EUR   
million in . 

CORPORATE COMMON 
Corporate Common Functions’ expenses totaled EUR  mil-
lion in , compared to EUR  million in . 

NET FINANCIAL INCOME AND EXPENSES 
Financial income and expenses, net, was an expense of EUR 
 million in  compared to an expense of EUR  million 
in . The lower net expense in  was primarily driven 
by lower net costs related to hedging Nokia’s cash balances 
and favorable fl uctuations in certain foreign exchange rates. 
Nokia expects fi nancial income and expenses, net, in  to 
be an expense of approximately EUR  million primarily due 
to higher expected net costs related to hedging Nokia’s cash 
balances, as well as higher costs related to Nokia Siemens Net-
works’ fi nancing. 

Nokia’s net debt to equity ratio was negative % at 

December , , compared with a net debt to equity ratio 
of negative % at December , . 

PROFIT BEFORE TAXES 
Loss before tax was EUR   million in , compared to 
profi t of EUR   million in . Taxes amounted to EUR 
 million in  and EUR  million in . The eff ective 
tax rate decreased to negative .% in , compared with 
.% in . In , Nokia’s taxes continued to be unfa-
vorably aff ected by Nokia Siemens Networks taxes as no tax 
benefi ts are recognized for certain Nokia Siemens Networks 
deferred tax items due to uncertainty of utilization of these 
items. 

NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS 
Loss attributable to non-controlling interests totaled EUR  
million in , compared with loss attributable to non-con-
trolling interests of EUR  million in . This change was 
primarily due to a decrease in Nokia Siemens Networks’ losses. 

PROFIT ATTRIBUTABLE TO EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE PARENT 

AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
Loss attributable to equity holders of the parent in  
totaled EUR   million, compared with profi t of EUR   
million in . Earnings per share in  decreased to EUR 
– . (basic) and EUR – . (diluted), compared with EUR . 
(basic) and EUR . (diluted) in .

ments from us to Microsoft. In the fourth quarter of , Nokia 
received the fi rst quarterly payment of USD  million (approxi-
mately EUR  million). Nokia has started to recognize a portion 
of the platform support payments as a benefi t to Nokia’s Smart 
Devices cost of goods sold. The total amount of the platform 
support payments is expected to slightly exceed the total 
amount of the minimum software royalty commitments. 

IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL IN LOCATION & COMMERCE 

BUSINESS
In the fourth quarter , Nokia conducted annual impair-
ment testing to assess if events or changes in circumstances 
indicated that the carrying amount of Nokia’s goodwill may 
not be recoverable. As a result, Nokia recorded a charge to op-
erating profi t of EUR . billion for the impairment of goodwill 
in Nokia’s Location & Commerce business. The impairment 
charge was the result of an evaluation of the projected fi nan-
cial performance of Nokia’s Location & Commerce business. 
This took into consideration the market dynamics in digital 
map data and related location-based content markets, includ-
ing Nokia’s estimate of the market moving long-term from fee-
based towards advertising-based models especially in some 
more mature markets. It also refl ected recently announced 
results and related competitive factors in the local search 
and advertising market resulting in lower estimated growth 
prospects from Nokia’s location-based assets integrated 
with diff erent advertising platforms. After consideration of 

all relevant factors, Nokia reduced the net sales projections 
for Location & Commerce which, in turn, reduced projected 
profi tability and cash fl ows.

The % year-on-year decline in Devices & Services net 
sales in  resulted from lower volumes and Average Selling 
Prices (“ASP”) in both Smart Devices and Mobile Phones 
discussed below, partially off  set by higher IPR royalty income 
discussed below.

AVERAGE SELLING PRICE
Nokia’s mobile device ASP represents total Devices & Services 
net sales divided by total Devices & Services volumes.

Nokia’s mobile device ASP in  was EUR , down % 

from EUR  in . The decrease in Nokia’s Devices & 
Services ASP in  was driven primarily by the increase in the 
proportion of Mobile Phone sales partially off  set by the posi-
tive eff ect of higher IPR royalty income and the lower deferral 
of revenue related to services sold in combination with Nokia’s 
devices. On a year-on-year basis, the impact from the ap-
preciation of the euro against certain currencies had a slightly 
negative impact, almost entirely off  set by the positive impact 
from foreign currency hedging. 

GROSS MARGIN
Nokia’s Devices & Services gross margin in  was .%, 
compared to .% in . On a year-on-year basis, the 
decline in Nokia’s Devices & Services gross margin in  
was driven primarily by gross margin declines in both Smart 
Devices and, to a lesser extent, in Mobile Phones, as discussed 
below, which was partially off  set by higher IPR royalty income. 

OPERATING EXPENSES
Devices & Services R&D expenses in  decreased % to EUR 
  million, compared with EUR   million in . In , 
R&D expenses represented .% of Devices & Services net 
sales, compared with .% in . The decrease in Devices 
& Services R&D expenses was primarily due to declines in 
Smart Devices and Devices & Services Other R&D expenses, 
partially off  set by an increase in Mobile Phones R&D expenses. 
The decreases in Smart Devices and Devices & Services 
Other R&D expenses were due primarily to a focus on priority 
projects and cost controls. The increase in Mobile Phones 
R&D expenses was due primarily to investments to accelerate 
product development to bring new innovations to the market 
faster and at lower price-points, consistent with the Mobile 
Phones “Internet for the next billion” strategy. This increase 
was partially off  set by a focus on priority projects and cost 
controls. Devices & Services R&D expenses included amortiza-
tion of acquired intangible assets of EUR  million and EUR  
million in  and , respectively. 

In , Devices & Services selling and marketing expenses 

decreased % to EUR   million, compared with EUR   
million in . The decrease was primarily due to lower Smart 
Devices sales and marketing expenses. In , selling and 
marketing expenses represented .% of Devices & Services 
net sales, compared with .% of its net sales in . 

Devices & Services administrative and general expenses in 
 decreased % to EUR  million, compared with EUR  



During the second quarter of , Devices & Services net 
sales were negatively aff ected by unexpected sales and inven-
tory patterns, resulting in distributors and operators purchas-
ing fewer of Nokia’s devices across Nokia’s portfolio as they 
reduced their inventories of Nokia devices. Devices & Services 
net sales were also aff ected during the second quarter of  
by a negative mix shift towards devices with lower average 
selling prices and lower gross margins. Nokia’s actions enabled 
us to create healthier sales channel dynamics during the latter 
weeks of the second quarter . Devices & Services net sales 
increased sequentially in the fourth quarter , supported 
by broader product renewal in both Mobile Phones, for ex-
ample dual SIM devices, and Smart Devices as well as overall 
industry seasonality. 

Nokia’s overall Devices & Services net sales in  ben-
efi ted from the recognition in Devices & Services Other of 
approximately EUR  million (approximately EUR  million 
in ) of non-recurring IPR royalty income, as well as strong 
growth in the underlying recurring IPR royalty income. Nokia 
believes these developments underline Nokia’s industry lead-
ing patent portfolio. During the last two decades, Nokia have 
invested more than EUR  billion in research and development 
and built one of the wireless industry’s strongest and broad-
est IPR portfolios, with over   patent families. Nokia is a 
world leader in the development of mobile device and mobile 
communications technologies, which is also demonstrated by 
Nokia’s strong patent position.

tive and general expenses was primarily driven by lower Smart 
Devices administrative and general expenses which more than 
off  set an increase in Devices & Services Other administrative 
and general expenses. In , administrative and general 
expenses represented .% of Devices & Services net sales, 
compared with .% in . 

Other operating income and expenses were expense of EUR

COST REDUCTION ACTIVITIES AND PLANNED 

Devices & Services Other net sales. 

OPERATIONAL ADJUSTMENTS
Nokia is targeting to reduce Nokia’s Devices & Services op-
erating expenses by more than EUR  billion for the full year 
, compared to Devices & Services operating expenses of 
EUR . billion for the full year , excluding special items 
and purchase price accounting related items. This reduction 
is expected to come from a variety of diff erent sources and 
initiatives, including a planned reduction in the number of 
employees and normal personnel attrition, a reduction in the 
use of outsourced professionals, reductions in facility costs, 
and various improvements in effi  ciencies. 

As of December , , Nokia had recognized cumulative 
net charges in Devices & Services of EUR  million related to 
restructuring activities in , which included restructuring 
charges and associated impairments. While the total extent of 
the restructuring activities is still to be determined, Nokia cur-
rently anticipates cumulative net charges in Devices & Services 
of around EUR  million before the end of . Nokia also 
believes total cash outfl ows related to Nokia’s Devices & 
Services restructuring activities will be below the level of the 
cumulative charges related to these restructuring activities. 

OPERATING MARGIN
Devices & Services operating profi t decreased % to EUR  
million in , compared with EUR   million in . De-
vices & Services operating margin in  was .%, compared 
with .% in . The year-on-year decrease in operating 
margin in  was driven primarily by the lower net sales and 

NET SALES 
Smart Devices net sales decreased % to EUR   million 
in , compared to EUR   million in . The year-on-
year decline in Nokia’s Smart Devices net sales in  was 
primarily due to signifi cantly lower volumes and, to a lesser 
extent, lower ASPs. 

VOLUME 
Smart Devices volume decreased % to . million units in 
, compared to . million units in . The year-on-
year decrease in Nokia’s Smart Device volumes in  was 
driven by the strong momentum of competing smartphone 
platforms relative to Nokia’s higher priced Symbian devices, 
particularly in Europe and Asia Pacifi c, as well as pricing tactics 
by certain of Nokia’s competitors. During the second quarter 
of , Nokia’s Smart Device volumes were also negatively 
aff ected by distributors and operators purchasing fewer of 
Nokia’s smartphones as they reduced their inventories of 
those devices, which were slightly above normal levels at the 
end of the fi rst quarter of , particularly in China. During 
the second half of , Nokia’s Symbian competitiveness 
continued to be challenged across the portfolio driving the 
signifi cant year-on-year volume decline.

Smart Devices ASP decreased % to EUR  in , com-
pared to EUR  in . The year-on-year decline in Nokia’s 
Smart Devices ASP in  was driven primarily by price actions 
due to the competitive environment and the negative impact 
from foreign currency hedging, partially off  set by a positive 
mix shift towards higher priced smartphones, such as the 
Nokia N, Nokia N and Lumia devices, and the lower deferral 
of revenue related to services sold in combination with Nokia’s 
devices, particularly in the second half of . 

Although Smart Devices ASP declined progressively during 
the fi rst three quarters of , Smart Devices ASP increased 
sequentially in the fourth quarter of , supported by sales 
of the higher priced Nokia N and Nokia Lumia devices. 

GROSS MARGIN 
Smart Devices gross margin was .% in , down from 
.% in . The year-on-year decline in Nokia’s Smart 
Devices gross margin in  was driven primarily by greater 
price erosion than cost erosion due to the competitive envi-
ronment, Nokia’s tactical pricing actions during the second 
and third quarters of  and an increase in Symbian-related 
allowances during the fourth quarter of . 

Following the announcement of Nokia’s partnership with 
Microsoft in February , Nokia expected to sell approxi-
mately  million more Symbian devices in the years to come. 
However, changing market conditions have put increasing 
pressure on Symbian and contributed to a faster decline of 
Nokia’s Symbian volumes than Nokia anticipated. Nokia expect 
this trend to continue in . As a result of the changing 
market conditions, combined with Nokia’s increased focus on 
Lumia, Nokia believes Nokia will sell fewer Symbian devices 
than previously anticipated. Thus, in the fourth quarter , 
Nokia recognized allowances related to excess component 
inventory and future purchase commitments, and Nokia may 
need to recognize additional allowances in the future.

NET SALES 
Mobile Phones net sales decreased % to EUR   million 
in , compared to EUR   million in . On a year-on-
year basis, Nokia’s Mobile Phones net sales decrease in  
was due to lower ASPs and, to a lesser extent, lower volumes.

VOLUME 
Mobile Phones volume decreased % to . million units in 
, compared to . million units in . The year-on-year 
decline in Nokia’s Mobile Phones volumes in  was driven 
by the challenging competitive environment, especially during 
the fi rst half of the year due to Nokia’s lack of dual SIM phones, 
which continued to be a growing part of the market, and pres-
sure from a variety of price aggressive competitors, which 
adversely aff ected Nokia’s Mobile Phones volumes. During , 
Mobile Phones volumes were also negatively aff ected by Nokia’s 
reduced portfolio of higher priced feature phones, as well as by 
distributors and operators purchasing fewer of Nokia’s feature 
phones during the second quarter of  as they reduced their 
inventories of those devices which were slightly above normal 
levels at the end of the fi rst quarter of . 

During the second half of , Nokia’s Mobile Phones vol-
umes increased year-on-year, driven by the introduction and 
broader availability of Nokia’s fi rst dual SIM devices and the 
ongoing product renewal across the feature phones portfolio, 
which more than off  set Nokia’s reduced portfolio of higher 
priced feature phones.

pricing actions across the portfolio, which partially aff ected 
the second quarter of  and fully aff ected the third quarter 
of . In addition, the appreciation of the euro against cer-
tain currencies contributed to the decline, which was partially 
off  set by the positive impact from foreign currency hedging.

year-on-year increase in net sales in  was primarily driven 
by higher sales of map content licenses to vehicle customers

GROSS MARGIN 
On a year-on-year basis the gross margin in Location & Com-
merce was virtually unchanged. In , the gross margin ben-
efi ted from an increased proportion of higher gross margin 
sales compared to , which were off  set by a reclassifi cation

million, compared to EUR   million in . The decrease 
was primarily driven by a focus on cost controls, lower project 
spending and a shift of R&D operating expenses to cost of 
sales as a result of the divestiture of the media advertising 
business. 

Location & Commerce selling and marketing expenses 
decreased % to EUR  million, compared to EUR  million 
in . The decrease was primarily driven by a focus on cost 
controls and lower product marketing spending. 

Location & Commerce administrative and general expenses 

decreased % to EUR  million, compared to EUR  million 
in . The decrease was primarily driven by a focus on cost 
controls, partially off  set by increased depreciation costs 
related to closure of offi  ces. 

OPERATING MARGIN
Location & Commerce operating loss increased to EUR   
million in , compared with a loss of EUR  million in .

Location & Commerce operating margin in  was negative 
.%, compared with negative .% in . The year-on-
year decrease in operating margin in  was driven primarily 
by the higher other operating expenses due to the impair-
ment of Location & Commerce’s goodwill of EUR . billion 
off  set to some extent by higher net sales and lower operating 
expenses compared to . 

In the fourth quarter of , Nokia conducted Nokia’s 
annual impairment testing to assess if events or changes in 
circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of Nokia’s 
goodwill may not be recoverable. As a result, Nokia recorded 
the above-noted impairment of goodwill in Nokia’s Location & 
Commerce business. 

The impairment charge was the result of an evaluation of 

the projected fi nancial performance of Nokia’s Location & 
Commerce business. This took into consideration the market 
dynamics in digital map data and related location-based con-
tent markets, including Nokia’s estimate of the market moving 
long-term from fee-based towards advertising-based models 
especially in some more mature markets. It also refl ected 
recently announced results and related competitive factors in 
the local search and advertising market resulting in lower es-
timated growth prospects from Nokia’s location-based assets 
integrated with diff erent advertising platforms. After con-
sideration of all relevant factors, Nokia reduced the net sales 
projections for Location & Commerce which, in turn, reduced 
projected profi tability and cash fl ows. 

Nokia Siemens Networks 
Nokia Siemens Networks completed the acquisition of the ma-
jority of Motorola Solutions’ wireless network infrastructure 
assets in April . Accordingly, the results of Nokia Siemens 
Networks for  are not directly comparable to .

Nokia Siemens Networks’ net sales increased % to EUR 
  million in , compared to EUR   million in . 
The year-on-year increase in Nokia Siemens Networks’ net 
sales in  was driven primarily by the contribution from 
the acquired Motorola Solutions networks assets, which was 
completed in April . Excluding the acquired Motorola 
Solutions networks assets, net sales would have increased 
% year-on-year, primarily driven by growth in services, which 
represented approximately % of Nokia Siemens Networks’ 
net sales in . 

GROSS MARGIN
Nokia Siemens Networks’ gross margin was .% in , 
compared to .% in . Nokia Siemens Networks gross 
margin in  refl ected the positive impact from the acquired 
Motorola Solutions networks assets off  set to a large extent by 
the negative eff ects of the competitive industry environment 
and an unfavorable sales mix towards lower gross margin 
revenues. 

OPERATING EXPENSES
Nokia Siemens Networks’ research and development expenses 
increased % to EUR   million, compared to EUR   mil-
lion in . The increase was primarily due to the addition of 
R&D operations relating to the acquired Motorola Solutions 
networks assets as well as investments in strategic initiatives. 
Nokia Siemens Networks’ selling and marketing expenses, 
as well as administrative and general expenses, were virtually 
fl at year-on-year in  as the increase from the acquired 
Motorola Solutions networks was off  set by ongoing cost 
control initiatives.

negative .%, compared with negative .% in  primar-
ily because of higher net sales, which were off  set by higher 
operating expenses. 

NEW STRATEGY AND RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM
On November , , Nokia Siemens Networks announced its 
strategy to focus on mobile broadband and services and the 
launch of an extensive global restructuring program. Nokia 
Siemens Networks expects substantial charges related to this 
restructuring program in . 

The key fi nancial data, including the calculations of key ratios, 
for the years ,  and  are available in the Annual 
Accounts section.  

MAIN  E VENTS  IN  2011

Nokia 

»  In , Nokia announced a new strategy for its mobile 

products business, with three core elements: i) to win in 
smartphones; ii) to connect the “next billion” consumers to 
the Internet and information; and iii) to continue to invest in 
long-term exploratory research into the future of mobility 
and computing. Nokia outlined this new strategy in conjunc-
tion with an announcement of changes to its leadership 
team and operational structure designed to accelerate the 
company’s speed of execution. Nokia switched to a struc-
ture featuring two distinct business units within Nokia’s 
Devices & Services business–Smart Devices and Mobile 
Phones–and formed a new business, Location & Commerce. 

»  As of October , Location & Commerce was formed by 
the combination of Nokia’s NAVTEQ business with Nokia’s 
social location services operations and is focusing on the 
development of integrated social location products and ser-
vices for consumers, as well as platform services and local 
commerce services for device manufacturers, application 
developers, Internet services providers, merchants, and 
advertisers. Nokia also announced plans for changes to its 
R&D operations, including personnel reductions, to support 
the execution of Nokia’s new strategy. 

»  In February , Nokia announced the new Nokia 

Leadership Team (formerly the Group Executive Board) 
composed of the following members: Stephen Elop (Chief 
Executive Offi  cer), Esko Aho (Corporate Relations and 
Responsibility), Juha Äkräs (Human Resources), Jerri DeVard 
(Chief Marketing Offi  cer), Colin Giles (Sales), Richard Green 
(Chief Technology Offi  cer), Jo Harlow (Smart Devices), Timo 
Ihamuotila (Chief Financial Offi  cer), Mary McDowell (Mobile 
Phones), Kai Öistämö (Chief Development Offi  cer), Tero 
Ojanperä (Services & Developer Experience, acting), Louise 
Pentland (Chief Legal Offi  cer) and Niklas Savander (Markets). 
Michael Halbherr, who was appointed as Executive Vice 
President to lead the new Location & Commerce business, 
also became a member of the Nokia Leadership Team, ef-
fective July , . Henry Tirri was appointed Executive 
Vice President and Chief Technology Offi  cer, eff ective 
September , , replacing Richard Green. Tero Ojanperä 
left the Nokia Leadership Team at the end of his contract on 
September , . 

»  Nokia decided to delist its shares from the Frankfurt Stock 
Exchange, and the fi nal day of trading was March , .

»  In September , Nokia and Siemens announced the ap-
pointment of Jesper Ovesen as Executive Chairman of the 
Board of Nokia Siemens Networks. As Executive Chairman, 
Ovesen assumed a full-time role with a special emphasis 
on overseeing the strategic direction of Nokia Siemens 
Networks as it seeks to strengthen its position as a leader in 
the industry and become a more independent entity. 

»  In September , Nokia and Siemens announced that they 
each provided capital of EUR  million to Nokia Siemens 
Networks to further strengthen the company’s fi nancial 
position. 

»  In the third quarter, Nokia was again selected as a com-

ponent of the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI) 
and Dow Jones Sustainability Europe Index in the DJSI  
Review. 

»  In June , Nokia announced that it has signed a patent 
license agreement with Apple. The agreement resulted in 
settlement of all patent litigation between the companies, 
including the withdrawal by Nokia and Apple of their respec-
tive complaints to the US International Trade Commission. 

Devices & Services 

»  In March , Nokia announced plans to establish a new 

manufacturing site near Hanoi in northern Vietnam with a 
targeted opening in early .

»  To focus feature phone production in locations closest to 
suppliers and key markets, Nokia ended production at its 
manufacturing facility in Cluj, Romania in November . 
In January , Nokia and De’ Longhi, a global leader in 
household appliances, announced that they have agreed 
terms for De’ Longhi to acquire the facility. 

able Internet experience on their mobile device – in many 
cases, their fi rst ever Internet experience with any comput-
ing device. In the fourth quarter of , Nokia launched 
the Nokia Asha range of Nokia mobile phones, which off er 
access to the Internet, integrated social networking, mes-
saging and access to applications from Nokia Store. 

SMART DEVICES 

»  To support its eff ort to win in smartphones, Nokia an-

nounced in February  plans to form a partnership with 
Microsoft to combine their respective complementary as-
sets and expertise to build a new global mobile ecosystem. 
Under the partnership, which was formalized in April , 
Nokia is adopting and licensing from Microsoft Windows 
Phone as its primary smartphone platform, and has subse-
quently begun a transition away from Symbian. In October 
, Nokia launched the Nokia Lumia  and Nokia Lumia 
, its fi rst products based on the Windows Phone plat-
form. The Lumia range is designed to bring consumers at-
tractive industrial design, a fast social and Internet experi-
ence, leading imaging capabilities as well as signature Nokia 
experiences optimized for Windows Phone, such as Nokia 
Drive and Mix Radio. 

»  Nokia’s new strategy for smartphones also included person-
nel reductions as well as the transfer of approximately   
employees to Accenture as part of an agreement in which 
Accenture is providing Symbian software development and 
support activities to Nokia through . Nokia has contin-
ued to bring new Symbian smartphones to market, including 
seven devices during , of which three are powered by 
Belle, the latest version of the Symbian software, which 
brings a major improvement to the user experience. 

»  In June , Nokia launched the Nokia N, the outcome of 
eff orts in Nokia’s MeeGo program. The Nokia N is a pure 
touch smartphone which introduces an innovative new 
design where the home key – typically located at the bot-
tom of the device – is replaced by a simple gesture: a swipe. 
Under Nokia’s new strategy for smartphones, MeeGo will 
place increased emphasis on longer-term market explora-
tion of next-generation devices, platforms and user experi-
ences. 

MOBILE PHONES 

»  To support its eff ort to connect the “next billion”, Nokia re-
newed its strategy to focus on capturing volume and value 
growth by leveraging Nokia’s innovation and strength in de-
veloping growth markets to provide people with an aff ord-

»  Nokia’s dual SIM technology was among several new innova-
tions during  aimed at increasing aff ordability for the 
consumer not just at the point of sale, but in terms of the 
total cost of ownership of the device. During , Nokia 
brought to market its fi rst seven dual SIM mobile phones. 
Mobile Phones also developed applications and services 
specifi cally with aff ordability in mind. During , some of 
Nokia’s new mobile phones–including the Nokia Asha  
range–shipped with a powerful new browser, which com-
presses data and can thus reduce the cost of browsing the 
web. Additionally, some new models shipped with Nokia’s 
new maps software which provides an advanced, cost-effi  -
cient maps experience. Nokia Maps for Series  is similar 
to that available on Nokia’s smartphones in that people 
can view maps and plan routes when the phone is in offl  ine 
mode. 

Location & Commerce 

»  During , Location & Commerce continued to develop in-
tegrated location-based products and services for consum-
ers, as well as platform services for the wider ecosystem. 
For consumers, these included the following applications 
available either commercially or in beta: 

 •  Nokia Maps, a mobile application that gives people new 
ways to discover and explore the world around them, as 
well as enabling them to search for and navigate to ad-
dresses and places of interest; 

 •  Nokia Drive, a dedicated in-car navigation application, 

equivalent to a fully-fl edged personal navigation device, 
including voice-guided navigation in multiple languages 
for more than  countries, D and D map views and 
day and night modes; 

 •  Nokia Public Transport, a dedicated public transport 

application which provides smart public transportation 
routing for more than  cities worldwide on mobile, 
including timetable routing for bus and train routes for 
 cities; 

 •  Nokia Pulse, an application that enables people to 

instantly share their location or other information with 
family, friends or any other pre-defi ned group;

viewfi nder; 

 •  Nokia Maps HTML–a mobile web version of Nokia Maps 
providing access to Nokia’s rich mapping experience to 
owners of non-Nokia smartphones and tablets; and

 •  maps.nokia.com, Nokia’s mapping off ering on the web, 

enabling people to discover the world easy and comforta-
bly with City Pages, heat maps, stunning D maps for more 
than  cities, a rich places directory, superior content 
from leading guides, and local insights from Nokia users.

»  During the third quarter, to further support its focus on 

mobile broadband, Nokia Siemens Networks also outlined 
its vision for how broadband must be delivered in the future 
via Liquid Net; unveiled three new TD-LTE devices to supply 
communications service providers and enable the market 
for TD-LTE; agreed to establish a mobile broadband focused 
SmartLab with the Skolkovo Foundation in Russia; and set-
up a joint venture to build G LTE equipment with Micran in 
Tomsk, Russia.

»  During the third quarter, Location & Commerce announced 
that it is supplying map data and content to Daimler AG for 
the Mercedes E Class range plus the CLS-Class model. As a 
result, almost all Daimler passenger vehicle navigation plat-
forms in Europe will be powered by Location & Commerce. 

»  During the fourth quarter, Location & Commerce was 

selected by Ford Motor Company to be its exclusive map 
supplier for the SYNC MyFord Touch navigation system. The 
agreement positions Location & Commerce as the map data 
provider for the system in North America, Latin America, 
the Middle East, Russia and Europe. 

Nokia Siemens Networks 

»  In November , Nokia Siemens Networks announced a 

new strategy, including changes to its organizational struc-
ture and a signifi cant restructuring program aimed at mak-
ing the company an undisputed leader in mobile broadband 
and services and improving the company’s competitiveness 
and profi tability. 

»  Throughout , Nokia Siemens Networks announced 
a number of contracts in the key area of mobile broad-
band, including LTE deals with STC in Saudi Arabia, Latvijas 

completed the acquisition of certain wireless network infra-
structure assets of Motorola Solutions, including products 
and services in relation to GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, WiMAX and 
LTE. The acquisition is designed to strengthen the com-
pany’s position in North America and Japan, adding approxi-
mately   employees across  countries. 

»  As part of its new strategy, Nokia Siemens Networks is 

focusing on mobile broadband and services, and as such 
has announced during the fourth quarter a number of 
planned divestments, with the sale of its Microwave 
Transport business to DragonWave, its fi xed line Broadband 
Access business to ADTRAN and its WiMAX unit to NewNet 
Communications Technologies.

SUSTAINABILIT Y  AT  NOKIA
Nokia strives to be a leader in sustainability. Nokia has a long 
track record of taking sustainability into account in everything 
it does, from product design and  supplier requirements, to  
service off ering which enhance people’s education, liveli-
hoods and health, and which can be benefi cial in many other 
ways too. Nokia believes that its approach in considering our 
environmental and social impact not only refl ects ethical and 
legal responsibilities, but also makes good business sense and 



R E V I E W   B Y   T H E   B O A R D   O F   D I R E C T O R S

our goals go way beyond compliance. In managing environ-
mental requirements, Nokia focuses on materials used, energy 
effi  ciency, take-back of used products, the environmental 
performance of Nokia operations and supply chain, and ser-
vices downloadable from Nokia store to help people to make 
sustainable choices. In social issues management, the focus is 
on human rights, labor conditions and origins of raw materials, 
as well as leveraging the power of mobile technology to make 
a positive impact in people´s lives.

Some of the  sustainability highlights include:

»  eff orts in providing the next billion people with the access 

to the Internet and information;

»  improving education, health and livelihoods with mobile 
technology, for example  million people having experi-
enced Nokia Life as of the end of ;

»  increasing focus on supplier performance and making pro-

gress in tracing the origins of certain raw materials;

»  introducing fi ve new Eco Hero devices, including the Nokia 
Asha  and , the fi rst Eco Hero devices available at a 
lower price point; and

»  launching the Nokia Public Transport, an application that 

off ers public transportation route planning in hundreds of 
cities all over the world.

PROVISIONS  ON  THE  AMENDMENT
OF  ARTICLE S  OF  A SSOCIATION
Amendment of the Articles of Association requires a decision 
of the general meeting, supported by two-thirds of the votes 
cast and two-thirds of the shares represented at the meet-
ing. Amendment of the provisions of Article  of the Articles 
of Association, “Obligation to purchase shares”, requires a 
resolution supported by three-quarters of the votes cast and 
three-quarters of the shares represented at the meeting. 

SHARE S  AND  SHARE  C APITAL
Nokia has one class of shares. Each Nokia share entitles the 
holder to one vote at general meetings of Nokia. 

In , Nokia did not cancel or repurchase any shares nor 

did Nokia issue any new shares.

In , Nokia transferred a total of    Nokia shares 
held by it as settlement under Nokia equity plans to the plan 
participants, personnel of Nokia Group. The shares were 
transferred free of charge and the amount of shares trans-
ferred represented approximately .% of the total number 
of shares and the total voting rights. The transfers did not 
have a signifi cant eff ect on the relative holdings of the other 
shareholders of the company nor on their voting power.

On December , , Nokia and its subsidiary compa-
nies owned    Nokia shares. The shares represented 
approximately .% of the total number of the shares of the 
company and the total voting rights. The total number of 
shares at December , , was    . On December 
, , Nokia’s share capital was EUR   ..

Information on the authorizations held by the Board in  

to issue shares and special rights entitling to shares, transfer 
shares and repurchase own shares as well as information on 
the shareholders, stock options, shareholders’ equity per 
share, dividend yield, price per earnings ratio, share prices, 
market capitalization, share turnover and average number of 
shares are available in the Annual Accounts section.

NOKIA  OUTLOOK
Year  is expected to continue to be a year of transition 
during which Nokia’s Devices & Services business will be 

subject to risks and uncertainties as Nokia’s Smart Devices 
business unit continues to transition from Symbian products 
to Nokia products with Windows Phone and Nokia’s Mobile 
Phones business unit aims to bring more smartphone-like 
features and design to Nokia’s feature phone portfolio. Those 
risks and uncertainties include, among others, continued 
deterioration in demand for Nokia’s Symbian devices; the tim-
ing, ramp-up and demand for Nokia’s new products, including 
Nokia’s Lumia devices; and further pressure on margins as 
competitors endeavor to capitalize on Nokia’s platform and 
product transition. Nokia Siemens Networks announced in No-
vember  a new strategy which focuses its business on mo-
bile broadband and services, and has launched an extensive 
global restructuring program. In  Nokia Siemens Networks 
is continuing to implement its new strategy and restructur-
ing program. Additionally, the macroeconomic environment 
is making it increasingly diffi  cult to estimate our outlook and 
provide reliable targets. 

Mainly due to these factors, Nokia believes that it is not 

appropriate to provide annual targets for .

Longer-term, Nokia targets:

»  Devices & Services net sales to grow faster than the market, 

and

»  Devices & Services operating margin to be % or more, ex-
cluding special items and purchase price accounting related 
items.

Longer-term, Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks target:

»  Nokia Siemens Networks’ operating margin to be between 
% and %, excluding special items and purchase price 
accounting related items.

Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks have announced a 
number of planned changes to operations during  and 
 in connection with the implementation of new strategies 
for Nokia’s Devices & Services and Nokia Siemens Networks 
businesses as well as in relation to the creation of a new 
Location & Commerce business. The planned changes include 
substantial personnel reductions, site and facility closures and 
reconfi gurations of certain Nokia facilities. Nokia continues to 
target to reduce its Devices & Services operating expenses by 
more than EUR  billion for the full year , compared to the 
Devices & Services operating expenses of EUR . billion for 
the full year , excluding special items and purchase price 
accounting related items. Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks 
continue to target to reduce Nokia Siemens Networks annual-



R E V I E W   B Y   T H E   B O A R D   O F   D I R E C T O R S

ized operating expenses and production overheads, excluding 
special items and purchase price accounting related items, by 
EUR  billion by the end of , compared to the end of . 

RISK  FAC TOR S
Set forth below is a description of risk factors that could af-
fect Nokia. There may be, however, additional risks unknown 
to Nokia and other risks currently believed to be immaterial 
that could turn out to be material. These risks, either individu-
ally or together, could adversely aff ect Nokia’s business, sales, 
profi tability, results of operations, fi nancial condition, market 
share, brand, reputation and share price from time to time. 
Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise provides, 
references in these risk factors to “Nokia”, “we”, “us” and “our” 
mean Nokia’s consolidated operating segments. Additional 
risks primarily related to Nokia Siemens Networks that could 
aff ect Nokia are detailed under the heading “Nokia Siemens 
Networks” below. 

»  Our success in the smartphone market depends on our 
ability to introduce and bring to market quantities of at-
tractive, competitively priced Nokia products with Windows 
Phone that are positively diff erentiated from our competi-
tors’ products, both outside and within the Windows Phone 
ecosystem, and receive broad market acceptance.

»  We may not be able to make Nokia products with Windows 

Phone a competitive choice for consumers unless, together 
with Microsoft, we successfully encourage and support a 
competitive and profi table global ecosystem for Windows 
Phone smartphones that achieves suffi  cient scale, value 
and attractiveness to all market participants. 

»  We may experience further diffi  culties in having a com-

petitive off ering of Symbian devices and maintaining the 
economic viability of the Symbian smartphone platform 
during the transition to Windows Phone as our primary 
smartphone platform. 

»  We may not be able to produce attractive and competitive 
feature phones, including devices with more smartphone-
like features, in a timely and cost effi  cient manner with 
diff erentiated hardware, software, localized services and 
applications. 

»  We face intense competition in mobile products and in the 
digital map data and related location-based content and 
services markets. 

»  We may not be able to retain, motivate, develop and recruit 
appropriately skilled employees, which may hamper our 
ability to implement our strategies, particularly our current 

mobile products strategy and location-based services and 
commerce strategy, and we may not be able to eff ectively 
and smoothly implement the new operational structure for 
our businesses, achieve targeted effi  ciencies and reduc-
tions in operating expenses. 

»  Our strategy for our Location & Commerce business may 

not succeed if we are unable to maintain current sources of 
revenue, provide support for our Devices & Services busi-
ness and create new sources of revenue from our location-
based services and commerce assets. 

»  Our partnership with Microsoft is subject to risks and uncer-

tainties. 

»  Our failure to keep momentum and increase our speed of 

innovation, product development and execution will impair 
our ability to bring new innovative and competitive mobile 
products and location-based or other services to the mar-
ket in a timely manner. 

»  Our sales and profi tability are dependent on the develop-

ment of the mobile and communications industry, including 
location-based and other services industries, in numerous 
diverse markets, as well as on general economic conditions 
globally and regionally. 

»  Our products include numerous patented standardized or 

proprietary technologies on which we depend. Third parties 
may use without a license and unlawfully infringe our intel-
lectual property or commence actions seeking to establish 
the invalidity of the intellectual property rights of these 
technologies. This may have a material adverse eff ect on 
our business and results of operations. 

»  Our ability to maintain and leverage our traditional 

strengths in the mobile product market may be impaired if 
we are unable to retain the loyalty of our mobile operator 
and distributor customers and consumers as a result of the 
implementation of our strategies or other factors. 

»  If any of the companies we partner and collaborate with, in-
cluding Microsoft and Accenture, were to fail to perform as 
planned or if we fail to achieve the collaboration or partner-
ing arrangements needed to succeed, we may not be able 
to bring our mobile products or location-based or other 
services to market successfully or in a timely way. 

»  If the limited number of suppliers we depend on fail to deliv-
er suffi  cient quantities of fully functional products, compo-
nents, sub-assemblies, software and services on favorable 
terms and in compliance with our supplier requirements, 
our ability to deliver our mobile products profi tably, in line 



N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 1

with quality requirements and on time could be materially 
adversely aff ected. 

other developments in those countries or by other countries 
imposing regulations against imports to such countries. 

»  We may fail to manage our manufacturing, service creation 
and delivery as well as our logistics effi  ciently and without 
interruption, or fail to make timely and appropriate adjust-
ments, or fail to ensure that our products meet our and our 
customers’ and consumers’ requirements and are delivered 
on time and in suffi  cient volumes. 

»  Any actual or even alleged defects or other quality, safety 

and security issues in our products, including the hardware, 
software and content used in our products, could have a 
material adverse eff ect on our sales, results of operations, 
reputation and the value of the Nokia brand. 

»  Any cybersecurity breach or other factors leading to an 

actual or alleged loss, improper disclosure or leakage of any 
personal or consumer data collected by us or our partners 
or subcontractors, made available to us or stored in or 
through our products could have a material adverse eff ect 
on our sales, results of operations, reputation and value of 
the Nokia brand. 

»  Our business and results of operations, particularly our 

profi tability, may be materially adversely aff ected if we are 
not able to successfully manage the pricing of our products 
and costs related to our products and our operations. 

»  Our net sales, costs and results of operations, as well as 

the US dollar value of our dividends and market price of our 
ADSs, are aff ected by exchange rate fl uctuations, particu-
larly between the euro, which is our reporting currency, and 
the US dollar, the Japanese yen and the Chinese yuan, as 
well as certain other currencies. 

»  Our products include increasingly complex technologies, 

some of which have been developed by us or licensed to us 
by certain third parties. As a result, evaluating the rights 
related to the technologies we use or intend to use is more 
and more challenging, and we expect increasingly to face 
claims that we could have allegedly infringed third parties’ 
intellectual property rights. The use of these technolo-
gies may also result in increased licensing costs for us, 
restrictions on our ability to use certain technologies in 
our products and/or costly and time-consuming litigation, 
which could have a material adverse eff ect on our business, 
results of operations and fi nancial condition. 

»  Our sales derived from, and manufacturing facilities and 

assets located in, emerging market countries may be materi-
ally adversely aff ected by economic, regulatory, political or 

»  Changes in various types of regulation, technical standards 
and trade policies as well as enforcement of such regula-
tion and policies in countries around the world could have 
a material adverse eff ect on our business and results of 
operations. 

»  We have operations in a number of countries and, as a result, 
face complex tax issues and could be obligated to pay ad-
ditional taxes in various jurisdictions. 

»  Our operations rely on the effi  cient and uninterrupted op-

eration of complex and centralized information technology 
systems and networks. If a system or network ineffi  ciency, 
malfunction or disruption occurs, this could have a material 
adverse eff ect on our business and results of operations. 

»  An unfavorable outcome of litigation could have a material 

adverse eff ect on our business, results of operations, fi nan-
cial condition and reputation. 

»  Allegations of possible health risks from the electromagnetic 
fi elds generated by base stations and mobile devices, and 
the lawsuits and publicity relating to this matter, regardless 
of merit, could have a material adverse eff ect on our sales, 
results of operations, share price, reputation and brand value 
by leading consumers to reduce their use of mobile devices, 
by increasing diffi  culty in obtaining sites for base stations, by 
leading regulatory bodies to set arbitrary use restrictions 
and exposure limits, or by causing us to allocate additional 
monetary and personnel resources to these issues. 

Nokia Siemens Networks
In addition to the risks described above, the following are risks 
primarily related to Nokia Siemens Networks that could aff ect 
Nokia.

»  Nokia Siemens Networks’ new strategy to focus on mobile 

broadband and services and its restructuring plan designed 
to improve fi nancial performance and competitiveness may 
not succeed in improving its overall competitiveness and 
profi tability. Nokia Siemens Networks may be unable to 
execute the strategy eff ectively and in a timely manner, and 
it may be unable to otherwise continue to reduce operating 
expenses and other costs. 

»  Nokia Siemens Networks’ sales and profi tability depend on 
its success in the mobile broadband infrastructure services 
market, a key focus area in its new strategy. Nokia Siemens 
Networks’ may fail to eff ectively and profi tably adapt its 



R E V I E W   B Y   T H E   B O A R D   O F   D I R E C T O R S

by Siemens to Nokia Siemens Networks, or there may be 
undetected additional violations that may have occurred 
prior to the transfer or violations that may have occurred 
after the transfer of such assets and employees. 

DIVIDEND
Nokia’s Board of Directors will propose a dividend of EUR . 
per share for .

Board of Directors, Nokia Corporation



business and operations in a timely manner to the increas-
ingly diverse service needs of its customers in that market. 

»  Competition in the mobile broadband infrastructure and 

related services market is intense. Nokia Siemens Networks’ 
may be unable to maintain or improve its market position or 
respond successfully to changes in the competitive environ-
ment. 

»  Nokia Siemens Networks’ liquidity and its ability to meet its 
working capital requirements depend on access to avail-
able credit under Nokia Siemens Networks’ credit facilities 
and other credit lines as well as cash at hand. If a signifi cant 
number of those sources of liquidity were to be unavailable, 
or cannot be refi nanced when they mature, this would have 
a material adverse eff ect on our business, results of opera-
tions and fi nancial condition. 

»  Nokia Siemens Networks’ may fail to eff ectively and profi tably 
invest in new competitive products, services, upgrades and 
technologies and bring them to market in a timely manner. 

»  Nokia Siemens Networks may be unable to execute suc-

cessfully its strategy for the acquired Motorola Solutions 
wireless network infrastructure assets, including retaining 
existing customers of those acquired assets, cross-selling 
its products and services to customers of those acquired 
assets and otherwise realizing the expected synergies and 
benefi ts of the acquisition. 

»  The networks infrastructure and related services business 

relies on a limited number of customers and large multi-year 
contracts. Unfavorable developments under such a con-
tract or in relation to a major customer may have a material 
adverse eff ect on our business, results of operations and 
fi nancial condition. 

»  Providing customer fi nancing or extending payment terms 
to customers can be a competitive requirement in the net-
works infrastructure and related services business and may 
have a material adverse eff ect on our business, results of 
operations and fi nancial condition. 

»  Some of the Siemens carrier-related operations transferred 
to Nokia Siemens Networks have been and continue to be 
the subject of various criminal and other governmental 
investigations related to whether certain transactions and 
payments arranged by some current or former employees 
of Siemens were unlawful. As a result of those investigations, 
government authorities and others have taken and may take 
further actions against Siemens and/or its employees that 
may involve and aff ect the assets and employees transferred

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  ACCOUNTING  PRINCIPLE S 

Basis of presentation 
The consolidated fi nancial statements of Nokia Corporation 
(“Nokia” or “the Group”), a Finnish public limited liability com-
pany with domicile in Helsinki, in the Republic of Finland, are 
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting 
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Stand-
ards Board (“IASB”) and in conformity with IFRS as adopted by 
the European Union (“IFRS”). The consolidated fi nancial state-
ments are presented in millions of euros (“EURm”), except as 
noted, and are prepared under the historical cost convention, 
except as disclosed in the accounting policies below. The 
notes to the consolidated fi nancial statements also conform 
to Finnish accounting legislation. Nokia’s Board of Directors 
authorized the fi nancial statements for  for issuance and 
fi ling on March , . 

As of April , , the Group’s operational structure fea-
tured two new operating and reportable segments: Smart 
Devices and Mobile Phones, which combined with Devices & 
Services Other and unallocated items form Devices & Services 
business. 

As of October , , the Group formed a Location & 
Commerce business which combines NAVTEQ and Nokia’s 
social location services operations from Devices & Services. 
Location & Commerce business is an operating and report-
able segment. From the third quarter  until the end of the 
third quarter , NAVTEQ was a separate reportable segment 
of Nokia. As a consequence, Nokia currently has four operating 
and reportable segments: Smart Devices and Mobile Phones 
within Devices & Services, Location & Commerce and Nokia 
Siemens Networks. 

Prior year segment specifi c results for  and  have 
been regrouped and recasted for comparability purposes ac-
cording to the new operational structure. See Note . 

ADOPTION OF PRONOUNCEMENTS UNDER IFRS 
In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new 
and revised standards, amendments and interpretations to 
existing standards issued by the IASB that are relevant to its 
operations and eff ective for accounting periods commencing 
on or after January , . 

»  Amendment to IAS  Financial Instruments: Presentation 
requires that if an entity’s rights issues off ered are issued 
pro-rata to all existing shareholders in the same class for 
a fi xed amount of currency, they should be classifi ed as 
equity regardless of the currency in which the exercise price 
is denominated. 

»  Amendment to IFRS  Financial Instruments: Disclosures en-
hances disclosures about transfer transactions of fi nancial 
assets in order to help users of fi nancial statements evalu-
ate related risk exposures and their eff ect on an entity’s 
fi nancial position. 

»  IFRIC  Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity 

Instruments clarifi es accounting requirements for an entity 
that renegotiates terms of a fi nancial liability with its credi-
tor and the creditor agrees to accept the entity’s equity 
instruments to settle the fi nancial liability fully or partially. 
The entity’s equity instruments issued to the creditor are 
part of the consideration paid to extinguish the fi nancial 
liability and the issued instruments should be measured at 
their fair value. 

In addition, a number of other amendments that form part 
of the IASB’s annual improvement project were adopted by the 
Group. 

The adoption of each of the above mentioned standards 
did not have a material impact to the consolidated fi nancial 
statements.  

Principles of consolidation 
The consolidated fi nancial statements include the accounts 
of Nokia’s parent company (“Parent Company”), and each of 
those companies over which the Group exercises control. Con-
trol over an entity is presumed to exist when the Group owns, 
directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, over % of the 
voting rights of the entity, the Group has the power to govern 
the operating and fi nancial policies of the entity through 
agreement or the Group has the power to appoint or remove 
the majority of the members of the board of the entity. 

The Group’s share of profi ts and losses of associates is 
included in the consolidated income statement in accord-
ance with the equity method of accounting. An associate is 
an entity over which the Group exercises signifi cant infl uence. 
Signifi cant infl uence is generally presumed to exist when the 
Group owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, over 
% of the voting rights of the company. 

All inter-company transactions are eliminated as part of the 

consolidation process. Profi t or loss and each component of 
other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of 
the parent and to the non-controlling interests. In the consoli-
dated statement of fi nancial position, non-controlling inter-
ests are presented within equity, separately from the equity of 
the owners of the parent. 

The entities or businesses acquired during the fi nancial peri-
ods presented have been consolidated from the date on which 



N O T E S   T O   T H E   C O N S O L I D A T E D   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S

control of the net assets and operations was transferred to 
the Group. Similarly, the result of a Group entity or business 
divested during an accounting period is included in the Group 
accounts only to the date of disposal. 

Business Combinations 
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for 
acquisitions of separate entities or businesses by the Group. 
The consideration transferred in a business combination is 
measured as the aggregate of the fair values of the assets 
transferred, liabilities incurred towards the former own-
ers of the acquired business and equity instruments issued. 
Acquisition-related costs are recognized as expense in profi t 
and loss in the periods when the costs are incurred and the 
related services are received. Identifi able assets acquired 
and liabilities assumed by the Group are measured separately 
at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Non-controlling 
interests in the acquired business are measured separately 
based on their proportionate share of the identifi able net 
assets of the acquired business. The excess of the cost of the 
acquisition over the interest in the fair value of the identifi -
able net assets acquired and attributable to the owners of the 
parent, is recorded as goodwill. 

Assessment of the recoverability of long-lived 
assets, intangible assets and goodwill 
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated 
to cash-generating units that are expected to benefi t from 
the synergies of the acquisition in which the goodwill arose. 
The Group assesses the carrying amount of goodwill annu-
ally or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that such carrying amount may not be recoverable. 
The Group assesses the carrying amount of identifi able 
intangible assets and long-lived assets if events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may not be 
recoverable. Factors that could trigger an impairment review 
include signifi cant underperformance relative to historical or 
projected future results, signifi cant changes in the manner of 
the use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall 
business and signifi cant negative industry or economic trends. 
The Group conducts its impairment testing by determining 
the recoverable amount for the asset or cash-generating unit. 
The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit 
is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in 
use. If there is no reason to believe that cash-generating unit’s 
value in use materially exceeds its fair value less costs to sell, 
the Group may use fair value less costs to sell as its recover-
able amount. 

Cash-generating unit, as determined for the purposes of 
Group’s goodwill impairment testing, is the smallest group of 
assets (including goodwill) generating cash infl ows that are 
largely independent of the cash infl ows from other assets or 
groups of assets. In testing a cash-generating unit for impair-
ment, the Group identifi es all corporate assets that relate to 
the cash-generating unit under review and those assets are al-
located, on a reasonable and consistent basis, to the relevant 
units. The aggregate total carrying amount of the unit, includ-
ing the portion of the carrying amount of the corporate assets 
allocated to the unit, is compared with its recoverable amount. 
An impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount is 
less than the carrying amount. Impairment losses are recog-
nized immediately in the income statement. 

Disposals of separate entities or businesses 
When a disposal transaction causes the Group to relinquish 
control over a separate entity or business, the Group records 
a gain or loss on disposal at the disposal date. The gain or 
loss on disposal is calculated as the diff erence between the 
fair value of the consideration received and the derecognized 
net assets of the disposed entity or business, adjusted by 
amounts recognized in other comprehensive income in rela-
tion to that entity or business. 

Foreign currency translation 

FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY 
The fi nancial statements of all Group entities are measured 
using the currency of the primary economic environment in 
which the entity operates (functional currency). The consoli-
dated fi nancial statements are presented in Euro, which is the 
functional and presentation currency of the Parent Company. 

TRANSACTIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES 
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rates 
of exchange prevailing at the dates of the individual transac-
tions. For practical reasons, a rate that approximates the 
actual rate at the date of the transaction is often used. At 
the end of the accounting period, the unsettled balances on 
foreign currency assets and liabilities are valued at the rates 
of exchange prevailing at the end of the accounting period. 
Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from statement of 
fi nancial position items, as well as changes in fair value in the 
related hedging instruments, are reported in fi nancial income 
and expenses. For non-monetary items, such as shares, the 
unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized 
in other comprehensive income.

FOREIGN GROUP COMPANIES 
In the consolidated accounts, all income and expenses of 
foreign subsidiaries are translated into Euro at the average 
foreign exchange rates for the accounting period. All assets 
and liabilities of Group companies, where the functional cur-
rency is other than euro, are translated into euro at the year-
end foreign exchange rates. Diff erences resulting from the 
translation of income and expenses at the average rate and 
assets and liabilities at the closing rate are recognized in other 
comprehensive income as translation diff erences within con-
solidated shareholder’s equity. On the disposal of all or part 
of a foreign Group company by sale, liquidation, repayment of 
share capital or abandonment, the cumulative amount or pro-
portionate share of the translation diff erence is recognized as 
income or as expense in the same period in which the gain or 
loss on disposal is recognized.  

Revenue recognition 
Majority of the Group’s sales are recognized as revenue when 
the signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership have trans-
ferred to the buyer, continuing managerial involvement usually 
associated with ownership and eff ective control have ceased, 
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable 
that economic benefi ts associated with the transaction will 
fl ow to the Group and the costs incurred or to be incurred 
in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. The 
Group records reductions to revenue for special pricing agree-
ments, price protection and other volume based discounts. 
Service revenue is generally recognized on a straight line basis 
over the service period unless there is evidence that some 
other method better represents the stage of completion. Li-
cense fees from usage are recognized in the period when they 
are reliably measurable, which is normally when the customer 
reports them to the Group. 

The Group enters into transactions involving multiple com-
ponents consisting of any combination of hardware, services 
and software. The commercial eff ect of each separately iden-
tifi able component of the transaction is evaluated in order to 
refl ect the substance of the transaction. The consideration re-
ceived from these transactions is allocated to each separately 
identifi able component based on the relative fair value of each 
component. The Group determines the fair value of each com-
ponent by taking into consideration factors such as the price 
when the component or a similar component is sold separately 
by the Group or a third party. The consideration allocated to 
each component is recognized as revenue when the revenue 
recognition criteria for that component have been met. 

In addition, sales and cost of sales from contracts involving 
solutions achieved through modifi cation of complex telecom-

munications equipment are recognized using the percentage 
of completion method when the outcome of the contract can 
be estimated reliably. A contract’s outcome can be estimated 
reliably when total contract revenue and the costs to complete 
the contract can be estimated reliably, it is probable that the 
economic benefi ts associated with the contract will fl ow to the 
Group and the stage of contract completion can be measured 
reliably. When the Group is not able to meet one or more of 
the conditions, the policy is to recognize revenues only equal 
to costs incurred to date, to the extent that such costs are 
expected to be recovered. 

Progress towards completion is measured by reference 
to cost incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total 
project costs, the cost-to-cost method. 

The percentage of completion method relies on estimates of 

total expected contract revenue and costs, as well as depend-
able measurement of the progress made towards completing a 
particular project. Recognized revenues and profi ts are subject 
to revisions during the project in the event that the assump-
tions regarding the overall project outcome are revised. The 
cumulative impact of a revision in estimates is recorded in the 
period where such revisions become probable and can be esti-
mated reliably. Losses on projects in progress are recognized in 
the period they become probable and can be estimated reliably. 

Shipping and handling costs 
The costs of shipping and distributing products are included 
in cost of sales. 

Research and development 
Research and development costs are expensed as they are 
incurred, except for certain development costs, which are 
capitalized when it is probable that a development project 
will generate future economic benefi ts, and certain criteria, 
including commercial and technological feasibility, have been 
met. Capitalized development costs, comprising direct labor 
and related overhead, are amortized on a systematic basis 
over their expected useful lives between two and fi ve years.  

Capitalized development costs are subject to regular assess-
ments of recoverability based on anticipated future revenues, 
including the impact of changes in technology. Unamortized 
capitalized development costs determined to be in excess of 
their recoverable amounts are expensed immediately. 

Other intangible assets 
Acquired patents, trademarks, licenses, software licenses for 
internal use, customer relationships and developed technol-
ogy are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line 
method over their useful lives, generally  to  years. Where 



N O T E S   T O   T H E   C O N S O L I D A T E D   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S

an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of 
the related intangible asset is assessed for recoverability. Any 
resulting impairment losses are recognized immediately in the 
income statement. 

Actuarial valuations for the Group’s defi ned benefi t pension 
plans are performed annually. In addition, actuarial valuations 
are performed when a curtailment or settlement of a defi ned 
benefi t plan occurs in the Group.  

Pensions 
The Group companies have various pension schemes in ac-
cordance with the local conditions and practices in the coun-
tries in which they operate. The schemes are generally funded 
through payments to insurance companies or contributions 
to trustee-administered funds as determined by periodic 
actuarial calculations. 

In a defi ned contribution plan, the Group has no legal or 
constructive obligation to make any additional contributions 
even if the party receiving the contributions is unable to pay 
the pension obligations in question. The Group’s contributions 
to defi ned contribution plans, multi-employer and insured 
plans are recognized in the income statement in a period 
which the contributions relate to. 

If a pension plan is funded through an insurance contract 
where the Group does not retain any legal or constructive ob-
ligations, the plan is treated as a defi ned contribution plan. All 
arrangements that do not fulfi ll these conditions are consid-
ered defi ned benefi t plans. 

For defi ned benefi t plans, pension costs are assessed using 

the projected unit credit method: Pension cost is recognized 
in the income statement so as to spread the service cost over 
the service lives of employees. Pension obligation is measured 
as the present value of the estimated future cash outfl ows 
using interest rates on high quality corporate bonds with 
appropriate maturities. Actuarial gains and losses outside cor-
ridor are recognized over the average remaining service lives 
of employees. The corridor is defi ned as ten percent of the 
greater of the value of plan assets or defi ned benefi t obliga-
tion at the beginning of the respective year. Actuarial gains 
and losses within the corridor limits are not recognized. 

Past service costs are recognized immediately in income, 
unless the changes to the pension plan are conditional on the 
employees remaining in service for a specifi ed period of time 
(the vesting period). In this case, the past service costs are 
amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. 

The liability (or asset) recognized in the statement of fi nan-
cial position is pension obligation at the closing date less the 
fair value of plan assets, the share of unrecognized actuarial 
gains and losses, and past service costs. Any net pension 
asset is limited to unrecognized actuarial losses, past service 
cost, the present value of available refunds from the plan and 
expected reductions in future contributions to the plan. 

Property, plant and equipment 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumu-
lated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line 
basis over the expected useful lives of the assets as follows: 

  Buildings and constructions 

 –  years

  Production machinery, 

measuring and test equipment 

  Other machinery and equipment 

 –  years

 –  years

Land and water areas are not depreciated. 
Maintenance, repairs and renewals are generally charged to 
expense during the fi nancial period in which they are incurred. 
However, major renovations are capitalized and included in the 
carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future 
economic benefi ts in excess of the originally assessed stand-
ard of performance of the existing asset will fl ow to the Group. 
Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful 
life of the related asset. Leasehold improvements are depreci-
ated over the shorter of the lease term or useful life. 

Gains and losses on the disposal of fi xed assets are included 

in operating profi t/loss. 

Leases 
The Group has entered into various operating lease contracts. 
The related payments are treated as rentals and recognized in 
the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease 
terms unless another systematic approach is more represent-
ative of the pattern of the user’s benefi t. 

Inventories 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable 
value. Cost is determined using standard cost, which ap-
proximates actual cost on a FIFO (First-in First-out) basis. Net 
realizable value is the amount that can be realized from the 
sale of the inventory in the normal course of business after 
allowing for the costs of realization. 

In addition to the cost of materials and direct labor, an ap-
propriate proportion of production overhead is included in the 
inventory values. 

An allowance is recorded for excess inventory and obsoles-

cence based on the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Financial assets 
The Group has classifi ed its fi nancial assets as one of the fol-
lowing categories: available-for-sale investments, loans and 
receivables, fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss 
and bank and cash. 

AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE INVESTMENTS 
The Group invests a portion of cash needed to cover pro-
jected cash needs of its on-going operations in highly liquid, 
interest-bearing investments and certain equity instruments. 
The following investments are classifi ed as available-for-
sale based on the purpose for acquiring the investments as 
well as ongoing intentions: () Highly liquid, interest-bearing 
investments that are readily convertible to known amounts 
of cash with maturities at acquisition of less than  months, 
which are classifi ed in the balance sheet as current available-
for-sale investments, cash equivalents. Due to the high credit 
quality and short-term nature of these investments, there 
is an insignifi cant risk of changes in value. () Similar types of 
investments as in category (), but with maturities at acquisi-
tion of longer than  months, are classifi ed in the balance 
sheet as current available-for-sale investments, liquid assets. 
() Investments in technology related publicly quoted equity 
shares, or unlisted private equity shares and unlisted funds, 
are classifi ed in the balance sheet as non-current available-
for-sale investments. 

Current fi xed income and money-market investments are 

fair valued by using quoted market rates, discounted cash 
fl ow analyses and other appropriate valuation models at the 
balance sheet date. Investments in publicly quoted equity 
shares are measured at fair value using exchange quoted bid 
prices. Other available-for-sale investments carried at fair 
value include holdings in unlisted shares. Fair value is esti-
mated by using various factors, including, but not limited to: 
() the current market value of similar instruments, () prices 
established from a recent arm’s length fi nancing transaction 
of the target companies, () analysis of market prospects and 
operating performance of the target companies taking into 
consideration the public market of comparable companies 
in similar industry sectors. The remaining available-for-sale 
investments are carried at cost less impairment, which are 
technology related investments in private equity shares and 
unlisted funds for which the fair value cannot be measured 
reliably due to non-existence of public markets or reliable 
valuation methods against which to value these assets. The 
investment and disposal decisions on these investments are 
business driven. 

All purchases and sales of investments are recorded on 
the trade date, which is the date that the Group commits to 
purchase or sell the asset. 

The changes in fair value of available-for-sale investments 

are recognized in fair value and other reserves as part of 
shareholders’ equity, with the exception of interest calculated 
using the eff ective interest method and foreign exchange 
gains and losses on monetary assets, which are recognized 
directly in profi t and loss. Dividends on available-for-sale 
equity instruments are recognized in profi t and loss when the 
Group’s right to receive payment is established. When the 
investment is disposed of, the related accumulated changes in 
fair value are released from shareholders’ equity and recog-
nized in the income statement. The weighted average method 
is used when determining the cost-basis of publicly listed eq-
uities being disposed of by the Group. FIFO (First-in First-out) 
method is used to determine the cost basis of fi xed income 
securities being disposed of by the Group. An impairment is 
recorded when the carrying amount of an available-for-sale 
investment is greater than the estimated fair value and there 
is objective evidence that the asset is impaired including, but 
not limited to, counterparty default and other factors causing 
a reduction in value that can be considered other than tem-
porary. The cumulative net loss relating to that investment is 
removed from equity and recognized in the income statement 
for the period. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the 
investment in a non-equity instrument increases and the 
increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after 
the loss was recognized, the loss is reversed, with the amount 
of the reversal included in the income statement. 

INVESTMENTS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT AND LOSS, 

LIQUID ASSETS 
The investments at fair value through profi t and loss, liquid 
assets include highly liquid fi nancial assets designated at fair 
value through profi t or loss at inception. For investments 
designated at fair value through profi t or loss, the follow-
ing criteria must be met: () the designation eliminates or 
signifi cantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would 
otherwise arise from measuring the assets or recognizing 
gains or losses on a diff erent basis; or () the assets are part 
of a group of fi nancial assets, which are managed and their 
performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance 
with a documented risk management or investment strategy. 

 These investments are initially recorded at fair value. 
Subsequent to initial recognition, these investments are 
remeasured at fair value. Fair value adjustments and realized 
gain and loss are recognized in the income statement. 

LOANS RECEIVABLE 
Loans receivable include loans to customers and suppliers and 
are initially measured at fair value and subsequently at amor-



N O T E S   T O   T H E   C O N S O L I D A T E D   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S

tized cost using the eff ective interest method less impairment. 
Loans are subject to regular and thorough review as to their 
collectability and as to available collateral; in the event that 
any loan is deemed not fully recoverable, a provision is made 
to refl ect the shortfall between the carrying amount and the 
present value of the expected cash fl ows. Interest income on 
loans receivable is recognized by applying the eff ective inter-
est rate. The long-term portion of loans receivable is included 
on the statement of fi nancial position under long-term loans 
receivable and the current portion under current portion of 
long-term loans receivable. 

BANK AND CASH 
Bank and cash consist of cash at bank and in hand. 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE 
Accounts receivable are carried at the original amount due 
from customers, which is considered to be fair value, less 
allowances for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful 
accounts is based on a periodic review of all outstanding 
amounts, where signifi cant doubt about collectability exists, 
including an analysis of historical bad debt, customer concen-
trations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends 
and changes in our customer payment terms. Bad debts are 
written off  when identifi ed as uncollectible, and are included 
within other operating expenses. 

Financial liabilities 

LOANS PAYABLE 
Loans payable are recognized initially at fair value, net of 
transaction costs incurred. Any diff erence between the fair 
value and the proceeds received is recognized in profi t and 
loss at initial recognition. In subsequent periods, they are 
stated at amortized cost using the eff ective interest method. 
The long-term portion of loans payable is included on the 
statement of fi nancial position under long-term interest-
bearing liabilities and the current portion under current por-
tion of long-term loans. 

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE 
Accounts payable are carried at the original invoiced amount, 
which is considered to be fair value due to the short-term 
nature of the Group’s accounts payable. 

Derivative fi nancial instruments 
All derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date 
a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently 
remeasured at their fair value. The method of recognizing the 

resulting gain or loss varies according to whether the deriva-
tives are designated and qualify under hedge accounting or 
not. Generally, the cash fl ows of a hedge are classifi ed as cash 
fl ows from operating activities in the consolidated statement 
of cash fl ows as the underlying hedged items relate to the 
company’s operating activities. When a derivative contract is 
accounted for as a hedge of an identifi able position relating to 
fi nancing or investing activities, the cash fl ows of the contract 
are classifi ed in the same manner as the cash fl ows of the 
position being hedged.  

DERIVATIVES NOT DESIGNATED IN HEDGE ACCOUNTING 

RELATIONSHIPS CARRIED AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH 

PROFIT AND LOSS 
Fair values of forward rate agreements, interest rate options, 
futures contracts and exchange traded options are calculated 
based on quoted market rates at each balance sheet date. 
Discounted cash fl ow analyses are used to value interest rate 
and currency swaps. Changes in the fair value of these con-
tracts are recognized in the income statement. 

Fair values of cash settled equity derivatives are calculated 

based on quoted market rates at each balance sheet date. 
Changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement. 

Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the 
market forward exchange rates. Changes in fair value are 
measured by comparing these rates with the original contract 
forward rate. Currency options are valued at each balance 
sheet date by using the Garman & Kohlhagen option valuation 
model. Changes in the fair value on these instruments are 
recognized in the income statement. 

For the derivatives not designated under hedge account-
ing but hedging identifi able exposures such as anticipated 
foreign currency denominated sales and purchases, the gains 
and losses are recognized within other operating income or 
expenses. The gains and losses on all other hedges not desig-
nated under hedge accounting are recognized under fi nancial 
income and expenses. 

Embedded derivatives are identifi ed and monitored by the 
Group and fair valued at each balance sheet date. In assessing 
the fair value of embedded derivatives, the Group employs a 
variety of methods including option pricing models and dis-
counted cash fl ow analysis using assumptions that are based 
on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. 
Changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement.

Hedge accounting 

CASH FLOW HEDGES: HEDGING OF ANTICIPATED FOREIGN 

CURRENCY DENOMINATED SALES AND PURCHASES 
The Group applies hedge accounting for “Qualifying hedges”. 
Qualifying hedges are those properly documented cash fl ow 
hedges of the foreign exchange rate risk of future antici-
pated foreign currency denominated sales and purchases 
that meet the requirements set out in IAS . The cash fl ow 
being hedged must be “highly probable” and must present 
an exposure to variations in cash fl ows that could ultimately 
aff ect profi t or loss. The hedge must be highly eff ective both 
prospectively and retrospectively. 

The Group claims hedge accounting in respect of certain 
forward foreign exchange contracts and options, or option 
strategies, which have zero net premium or a net premium 
paid, and where the critical terms of the bought and sold op-
tions within a collar or zero premium structure are the same 
and where the nominal amount of the sold option component 
is no greater than that of the bought option. 

For qualifying foreign exchange forwards, the change in 
fair value that refl ects the change in spot exchange rates is 
deferred in shareholders’ equity to the extent that the hedge 
is eff ective. For qualifying foreign exchange options, or option 
strategies, the change in intrinsic value is deferred in share-
holders’ equity to the extent that the hedge is eff ective. In all 
cases, the ineff ective portion is recognized immediately in the 
income statement as fi nancial income and expenses. Hedging 
costs, expressed either as the change in fair value that refl ects 
the change in forward exchange rates less the change in spot 
exchange rates for forward foreign exchange contracts, or 
changes in the time value for options, or options strategies, 
are recognized within other operating income or expenses.  
Accumulated changes in fair value from qualifying hedges 
are released from shareholders’ equity into the income state-
ment as adjustments to sales and cost of sales, in the period 
when the hedged cash fl ow aff ects the income statement. If 
the hedged cash fl ow is no longer expected to take place, all 
deferred gains or losses are released immediately into the 
income statement as adjustments to sales and cost of sales. If 
the hedged cash fl ow ceases to be highly probable, but is still 
expected to take place, accumulated gains and losses remain in 
equity until the hedged cash fl ow aff ects the income statement. 
Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments that 

do not qualify for hedge accounting under IAS  are recog-
nized immediately in the income statement. The changes in 
fair value of derivative instruments that directly relate to nor-
mal business operations are recognized within other operating 
income and expenses. The changes in fair value from all other 

derivative instruments are recognized in fi nancial income and 
expenses. 

CASH FLOW HEDGES: HEDGING OF FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK 

OF HIGHLY PROBABLE BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND OTHER 

TRANSACTIONS 
The Group hedges the cash fl ow variability due to foreign 
currency risk inherent in highly probable business acquisitions 
and other future transactions that result in the recognition 
of non-fi nancial assets. When those non-fi nancial assets are 
recognized in the statement of fi nancial position, the gains 
and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from 
equity and included in the initial acquisition cost of the as-
set. The deferred amounts are ultimately recognized in the 
profi t and loss as a result of goodwill assessments in case of 
business acquisitions and through depreciation in the case of 
other assets. In order to apply for hedge accounting, the fore-
casted transactions must be highly probable and the hedges 
must be highly eff ective prospectively and retrospectively. 
The Group claims hedge accounting in respect of forward 
foreign exchange contracts, foreign currency denominated 
loans, and options, or option strategies, which have zero net 
premium or a net premium paid, and where the terms of the 
bought and sold options within a collar or zero premium struc-
ture are the same. 

For qualifying foreign exchange forwards, the change in 
fair value that refl ects the change in spot exchange rates is 
deferred in shareholders’ equity. The change in fair value that 
refl ects the change in forward exchange rates less the change 
in spot exchange rates is recognized in the income statement 
within fi nancial income and expenses. For qualifying foreign 
exchange options, the change in intrinsic value is deferred 
in shareholders’ equity. Changes in the time value are at all 
times recognized directly in the income statement as fi nancial 
income and expenses. In all cases the ineff ective portion is 
recognized immediately in the income statement as fi nancial 
income and expenses. 

CASH FLOW HEDGES: HEDGING OF CASH FLOW VARIABILITY 

ON VARIABLE RATE LIABILITIES 
The Group applies cash fl ow hedge accounting for hedging cash 
fl ow variability on variable rate liabilities. The eff ective portion 
of the gain or loss relating to interest rate swaps hedging vari-
able rate borrowings is deferred in shareholders’ equity. The 
gain or loss relating to the ineff ective portion is recognized 
immediately in the income statement as fi nancial income and 
expenses. For hedging instruments closed before the maturity 
date of the related liability, hedge accounting will immediately 
discontinue from that date onwards, with all the cumulative 



N O T E S   T O   T H E   C O N S O L I D A T E D   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S

gains and losses on the hedging instruments recycled gradu-
ally to income statement in the periods when the hedged vari-
able interest cash fl ows aff ect the income statement. 

FAIR VALUE HEDGES 
The Group applies fair value hedge accounting with the objec-
tive to reduce the exposure to fl uctuations in the fair value of 
interest-bearing liabilities due to changes in interest rates and 
foreign exchange rates. Changes in the fair value of deriva-
tives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, together 
with any changes in the fair value of the hedged liabilities 
attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in the income 
statement within fi nancial income and expenses. 

If a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, 
hedge accounting ceases and any fair value adjustments made 
to the carrying amount of the hedged item during the periods 
the hedge was eff ective are amortized to profi t or loss based 
on the eff ective interest method. 

HEDGES OF NET INVESTMENTS IN FOREIGN OPERATIONS 
The Group also applies hedge accounting for its foreign cur-
rency hedging on net investments. Qualifying hedges are 
those properly documented hedges of the foreign exchange 
rate risk of foreign currency denominated net investments 
that meet the requirements set out in IAS . The hedge must 
be eff ective both prospectively and retrospectively. 

The Group claims hedge accounting with respect to forward 

foreign exchange contracts, foreign currency denominated 
loans, and options, or option strategies, which have zero net 
premium or a net premium paid, and where the terms of the 
bought and sold options within a collar or zero premium struc-
ture are the same. 

For qualifying foreign exchange forwards, the change in 
fair value that refl ects the change in spot exchange rates is 
deferred in shareholders’ equity. The change in fair value that 
refl ects the change in forward exchange rates less the change 
in spot exchange rates is recognized in the income statement 
within fi nancial income and expenses. For qualifying foreign 
exchange options, the change in intrinsic value is deferred in 
shareholders’ equity. Changes in the time value are at all times 
recognized directly in the income statement as fi nancial in-
come and expenses. If a foreign currency denominated loan is 
used as a hedge, all foreign exchange gains and losses arising 
from the transaction are recognized in shareholders’ equity. In 
all cases, the ineff ective portion is recognized immediately in 
the income statement as fi nancial income and expenses. 

Accumulated changes in fair value from qualifying hedges 

are released from shareholders’ equity into the income 
statement only if the legal entity in the given country is sold, 
liquidated, repays its share capital or is abandoned. 

Income taxes 
The tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax. 
Current taxes are based on the results of the Group compa-
nies and are calculated according to local tax rules. Taxes are 
recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that 
it relates to items recognized in the other comprehensive in-
come or directly in equity, in which case, the tax is recognized 
in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined, for all 
temporary diff erences arising between tax bases of assets 
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated 
fi nancial statements using liability method. Deferred tax 
assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that 
future taxable profi t will be available against which the unused 
tax losses or deductible temporary diff erences can be utilized. 
Each reporting period they are assessed for realizability and 
when circumstances indicate it is no longer probable that 
deferred tax assets will be utilized, they are adjusted as neces-
sary. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary dif-
ferences that arise between the amounts initially recognized 
and the tax base of identifi able net assets acquired in business 
combinations. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities 
are off  set for presentation purposes when there is a legally 
enforceable right to set off  current tax assets against current 
tax liabilities, and the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax 
liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation 
authority on either the same taxable entity or diff erent tax-
able entities, which intend either to settle current tax liabilities 
and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle 
the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which 
signifi cant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are 
expected to be settled or recovered. 

The enacted or substantively enacted tax rates as of each 
balance sheet date that are expected to apply in the period 
when the asset is realized or the liability is settled are used in 
the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities. 

Provisions 
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal 
or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is prob-
able that an outfl ow of resources will be required to settle the 
obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. 
When the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, the 
reimbursement is recognized as an asset only when the re-
imbursement is virtually certain. The Group assesses the ad-
equacy of its pre-existing provisions and adjusts the amounts 
as necessary based on actual experience and changes in 
future estimates at each balance sheet date. 



 
N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 1

WARRANTY PROVISIONS 
The Group provides for the estimated liability to repair or 
replace products under warranty at the time revenue is 
recognized. The provision is an estimate calculated based on 
historical experience of the level of volumes, product mix and 
repair and replacement cost. 

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (IPR) PROVISIONS 
The Group provides for the estimated future settlements relat-
ed to asserted and unasserted past alleged IPR infringements 
based on the probable outcome of potential infringement. 

TAX PROVISIONS 
The Group recognizes a provision for tax contingencies based 
upon the estimated future settlement amount at each bal-
ance sheet date. 

RESTRUCTURING PROVISIONS 
The Group provides for the estimated cost to restructure 
when a detailed formal plan of restructuring has been com-
pleted, the restructuring plan has been announced by the 
Group and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. 

OTHER PROVISIONS 
The Group recognizes the estimated liability for non-can-
cellable purchase commitments for inventory in excess of 
forecasted requirements at each balance sheet date. 

The Group provides for onerous contracts based on the 
lower of the expected cost of fulfi lling the contract and the 
expected cost of terminating the contract.  

Share-based compensation 
The Group off ers three types of global equity settled 
share-based compensation schemes for employees: stock 
options, performance shares and restricted shares. Em-
ployee services received, and the corresponding increase 
in equity, are measured by reference to the fair value of the 
equity instruments as of the date of grant, excluding the 
impact of any non-market vesting conditions. Non-market 
vesting conditions attached to the performance shares are 
included in assumptions about the number of shares that 
the employee will ultimately receive. On a regular basis, the 
Group reviews the assumptions made and, where necessary, 
revises its estimates of the number of performance shares 
that are expected to be settled. Share-based compensation 
is recognized as an expense in the income statement over the 
service period. A separate vesting period is defi ned for each 
quarterly lot of the stock options plans. When stock options 
are exercised, the proceeds received, net of any transaction 

costs, are credited to share issue premium and the reserve for 
invested non-restricted equity. 

Treasury shares 
The Group recognizes acquired treasury shares as a deduc-
tion from equity at their acquisition cost. When cancelled, the 
acquisition cost of treasury shares is recognized in retained 
earnings. 

Dividends 
Dividends proposed by the Board of Directors are not record-
ed in the fi nancial statements until they have been approved 
by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. 

Earnings per share 
The Group calculates both basic and diluted earnings per 
share. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weight-
ed average number of shares outstanding during the period. 
Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted 
average number of shares outstanding during the period plus 
the dilutive eff ect of stock options, restricted shares and 
performance shares outstanding during the period. 

Use of estimates and critical accounting judgments 
The preparation of fi nancial statements in conformity with 
IFRS requires the application of judgment by management in 
selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating fi nancial 
estimates, which inherently contain some degree of uncer-
tainty. Management bases its estimates on historical experi-
ence, expected outcomes and various other assumptions 
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 
The related results form a basis for making judgments about 
the reported carrying values of assets and liabilities and the 
reported amounts of revenues and expenses that may not 
be readily apparent from other sources. The Group will revise 
material estimates if changes occur in the circumstances on 
which an estimate was based or as a result of new informa-
tion or more experience. Actual results may diff er from these 
estimates under diff erent assumptions or conditions. 

Set forth below are areas requiring signifi cant judgment and 

estimation that may have an impact on reported results and 
the fi nancial position. 

REVENUE RECOGNITION 
Majority of the Group’s sales are recognized as revenue when 
the signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership have trans-
ferred to the buyer, continuing managerial involvement usually 
associated with ownership and eff ective control have ceased, 
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable 



N O T E S   T O   T H E   C O N S O L I D A T E D   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S

that economic benefi ts associated with the transaction will 
fl ow to the Group and the costs incurred or to be incurred in 
respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Sales 
could materially change if management’s assessment of such 
criteria was determined to be inaccurate. The Group enters 
into transactions involving multiple components consisting 
of any combination of hardware, services and software. The 
consideration received from these transactions is allocated to 
each separately identifi able component based on the relative 
fair value of each component. The consideration allocated to 
each component is recognized as revenue when the revenue 
recognition criteria for that component have been met. 
Determination of the fair value for each component requires 
the use of estimates and judgment taking into consideration 
factors which may have a signifi cant impact on the timing 
and amount of revenue recognition. Examples of such factors 
include price when the component is sold separately by the 
Group or the price when a similar component is sold sepa-
rately by the Group or a third party. 

The Group makes price protection adjustments based 
on estimates of future price reductions and certain agreed 
customer inventories at the date of the price adjustment. 
Potential changes in these estimates could result in revisions 
to the sales in future periods. 

Revenue from contracts involving solutions achieved 

through modifi cation of complex telecommunications equip-
ment is recognized on the percentage of completion basis 
when the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. 
Recognized revenues and profi ts are subject to revisions 
during the project in the event that the assumptions regard-
ing the overall project outcome are revised. Current sales and 
profi t estimates for projects may materially change due to the 
early stage of a long-term project, new technology, changes in 
the project scope, changes in costs, changes in timing, chang-
es in customers’ plans, realization of penalties, and other 
corresponding factors, which may have a signifi cant impact on 
the timing and amount of revenue recognition. 

CUSTOMER FINANCING 
The Group has provided a limited number of customer fi nanc-
ing arrangements and agreed extended payment terms with 
selected customers. Should actual fi nancial position of the 
customers or general economic conditions diff er from as-
sumptions, the ultimate collectability of such fi nancings and 
trade credits may be required to be re-assessed, which could 
result in a write-off  of these balances and thus negatively 
impact profi ts in future periods. From time to time the Group 
endeavors to mitigate this risk through transfer of its rights 
to the cash collected from these arrangements to third party 

fi nancial institutions on a non-recourse basis in exchange for 
an upfront cash payment. 

ALLOWANCES FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS 
The Group maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for 
estimated losses resulting from subsequent inability of cus-
tomers to make required payments. If the fi nancial conditions 
of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment 
of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may 
be required in future periods. 

INVENTORY-RELATED ALLOWANCES 
The Group periodically reviews inventory for excess amounts, 
obsolescence and declines in net realizable value below cost 
and records an allowance against the inventory balance for 
any such declines. These reviews require management to 
estimate future demand for products. Possible changes in 
these estimates could result in revisions to the valuation of 
inventory in future periods.  

WARRANTY PROVISIONS 
The Group provides for the estimated cost of product warran-
ties at the time revenue is recognized. The Group’s warranty 
provision is established based upon best estimates of the 
amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on 
products sold as of each balance sheet date. As new prod-
ucts incorporating complex technologies are continuously 
introduced, and as local laws, regulations and practices may 
change, changes in these estimates could result in additional 
allowances or changes to recorded allowances being required 
in future periods. 

PROVISION FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, 

OR IPR, INFRINGEMENTS 
The Group provides for the estimated future settlements 
related to asserted and unasserted past alleged IPR infringe-
ments based on the probable outcome of potential infringe-
ment. IPR infringement claims can last for varying periods of 
time, resulting in irregular movements in the IPR infringement 
provision. The ultimate outcome or actual cost of settling an 
individual infringement may materially vary from estimates. 

LEGAL CONTINGENCIES 
Legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters are 
pending or threatened in various jurisdictions against the 
Group. Provisions are recorded for pending litigation when it is 
determined that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the 
amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inher-
ent uncertain nature of litigation, the ultimate outcome or 
actual cost of settlement may materially vary from estimates.

CAPITALIZED DEVELOPMENT COSTS 
The Group capitalizes certain development costs when it is 
probable that a development project will generate future eco-
nomic benefi ts and certain criteria, including commercial and 
technological feasibility, have been met. Should a product fail 
to substantiate its estimated feasibility or life cycle, material 
development costs may be required to be written-off  in future 
periods. 

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS 
The Group applies the acquisition method of accounting to 
account for acquisitions of businesses. The consideration 
transferred in a business combination is measured as the ag-
gregate of the fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities 
incurred towards the former owners of the acquired business 
and equity instruments issued. Identifi able assets acquired, 
and liabilities assumed by the Group are measured separately 
at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Non-controlling 
interests in the acquired business are measured separately 
based on their proportionate share of the identifi able net 
assets of the acquired business. The excess of the cost of the 
acquisition over Nokia’s interest in the fair value of the identi-
fi able net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. 

The allocation of fair values to the identifi able assets 

acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various valuation 
assumptions requiring management judgment. Actual results 
may diff er from the forecasted amounts and the diff erence 
could be material. See also Note . 

ASSESSMENT OF THE RECOVERABILITY OF LONG-LIVED 

ASSETS, INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL 
The recoverable amounts for long-lived assets, intangible 
assets and goodwill have been determined based on the ex-
pected future cash fl ows attributable to the asset or cash-gen-
erating unit discounted to present value. The key assumptions 
applied in the determination of recoverable amount include 
discount rate, length of an explicit forecast period, estimated 
growth rates, profi t margins and level of operational and 
capital investment. Amounts estimated could diff er materially 
from what will actually occur in the future. See also Note .  

FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVES AND OTHER FINANCIAL 

INSTRUMENTS 
The fair value of fi nancial instruments that are not traded 
in an active market (for example, unlisted equities, currency 
options and embedded derivatives) are determined using vari-
ous valuation techniques. The Group uses judgment to select 
an appropriate valuation methodology as well as underlying 

assumptions based on existing market practice and condi-
tions. Changes in these assumptions may cause the Group to 
recognize impairments or losses in future periods. 

INCOME TAXES 
Management judgment is required in determining current tax 
expense, tax provisions, deferred tax assets and liabilities and 
the extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized. 
Each reporting period they are assessed for realizability and 
when circumstances indicate it is no longer probable that 
deferred tax assets will be utilized, they are adjusted as nec-
essary. If the fi nal outcome of these matters diff ers from the 
amounts initially recorded, diff erences may impact the income 
tax expense in the period in which such determination is made. 
Primarily in Finland and Germany but also in certain other 
jurisdictions the utilization of deferred tax assets is depend-
ent on future taxable profi t in excess of the profi ts arising 
from reversal of existing taxable temporary diff erences. The 
recognition of deferred tax assets is based upon whether it is 
more likely than not that suffi  cient taxable profi ts will be avail-
able in the future from which the reversal of temporary diff er-
ences and tax losses can be deducted. Recognition therefore 
involves judgment with regard to future fi nancial performance 
of a particular legal entity or tax group in which the deferred 
tax asset has been recognized. 

PENSIONS 
The determination of pension benefi t obligation and expense 
for defi ned benefi t pension plans is dependent on the selec-
tion of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating 
such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, the 
discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan as-
sets and annual rate of increase in future compensation levels. 
A portion of plan assets is invested in equity securities, which 
are subject to equity market volatility. Changes in assump-
tions and actuarial conditions may materially aff ect the pen-
sion benefi t obligation and future expense. See also Note . 

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION 
The Group operates various types of equity settled share-
based compensation schemes for employees. Fair value of 
stock options is based on certain assumptions, including, 
among others, expected volatility and expected life of the 
options. Non-market related vesting conditions attached to 
performance shares are included in assumptions about the 
number of shares that the employee will ultimately receive 
relating to projections of net sales and earnings per share. 
Signifi cant diff erences in equity market performance, em-

ployee option activity and the Group’s projected and actual 
net sales and earnings per share performance, may aff ect 
future expense. See also Note . 

New accounting pronouncements under IFRS 
The Group will adopt the following new and revised standards, 
amendments and interpretations to existing standards issued 
by the IASB that are expected to be relevant to its operations 
and fi nancial position: 

IFRS  Financial Instruments will change the classifi cation, 
measurement and impairment of fi nancial instruments based 
on the Group’s objectives for the related contractual cash fl ows.  
IFRS  Consolidated Financial Statements establishes prin-

ciples for the presentation and preparation of consolidated 
fi nancial statements when an entity controls one or more 
other entities. 

IFRS  Joint Arrangements establishes that the legal form 

of an arrangement should not be the primary factor in the 
determination of the appropriate accounting for the arrange-
ment. Party to a joint arrangement determines the type of 
joint arrangement in which it is involved by assessing its rights 
and obligations and then accounting for those rights and obli-
gations in accordance with that type of joint arrangement. 
IFRS  Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities requires 
disclosure of information that enables users of fi nancial state-
ments to evaluate nature of, and risks associated with, its 
interests in other entities and the eff ects of those interests 
on its fi nancial position, fi nancial performance and cash fl ows. 
IFRS  Fair Value Measurement replaces fair value measure-
ment guidance contained within individual IFRSs with a single, 
unifi ed defi nition of fair value in a single new IFRS standard. 
The new standard provides a framework for measuring fair 
value, related disclosure requirements about fair value meas-
urements and further authoritative guidance on the applica-
tion of fair value measurement in inactive markets. 

Amendments to IAS  Presentation of Financial Statements 
retains the ‘one or two statement’ approach at the option of the 
entity and only revises the way other comprehensive income 
is presented: Requiring separate subtotals for those elements 
which may be ‘recycled’ and those elements that will not.

Amendment to IAS  Income Taxes provides clarifi cation for 

measurement of deferred taxes in situations where an asset 
is measured using the fair value model in IAS  Investment 
Property by introducing a presumption that the carrying 
amount of the underlying asset will be recovered through sale. 
Amended IAS  Employee Benefi ts discontinues the use of 

the ‘corridor’ approach and re-measurement impacts will be 
recognized in other comprehensive income (with the remain-
der in profi t or loss). Other long-term benefi ts are required to 

be measured in the same way even though changes in the rec-
ognized amount are fully refl ected in profi t or loss. Treatment 
for termination benefi ts, specifi cally the point in time when 
an entity would recognize a liability for termination benefi ts is 
also revised. 

Amendments to IAS  and IAS  will be adopted on January 

, . The Group expects to adopt the new standards IFRS 
, IFRS , IFRS  and IFRS  as well as the amended IAS  on 
their eff ective date, January , . 

On  December , the IASB amended the eff ective date 

of IFRS  to annual periods beginning on or after  January 
, and modifi ed the relief from restating comparative 
periods and the associated disclosures in IFRS . The Group will 
adopt the standard on the revised eff ective date. 

The Group is currently evaluating potential impact of the 

new standards on its accounts. 

2.  SEGMENT  INFORMATION 

Nokia has three businesses: Devices & Services, Location & 
Commerce and Nokia Siemens Networks, and four operating 
and reportable segments for fi nancial reporting purposes: 
Smart Devices and Mobile Phones within our Devices & 
Services business, Location & Commerce and Nokia Siemens 
Networks.  

Nokia’s reportable segments represent the strategic busi-
ness units that off er diff erent products and services. The chief 
operating decision maker receives monthly fi nancial infor-
mation for these business units. Key fi nancial performance 
measures of the reportable segments include primarily net 
sales and contribution/operating profi t. Segment contribution 
for Smart Devices and Mobile Phones consists of net sales as 
well as its own, directly assigned costs and allocated costs but 
exclude major restructuring projects/programs and certain 
other items that are not directly related to the segments. 
Operating Profi t is presented for Location & Commerce and 
Nokia Siemens Networks. Nokia evaluates the performance 
of its segments and allocates resources to them based on 
operating profi t/contribution. 

Smart Devices focuses on smartphones and smart devices 
and has profi t-and-loss responsibility and end-to-end account-
ability for the full consumer experience, including product 
development, product management and product marketing. 

Mobile Phones focuses on mass market feature phones and 

related services and applications and has profi t-and-loss re-
sponsibility and end-to-end accountability for the full consumer 
experience, including development, management and market-
ing of feature phone products, services and applications. 



N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 1

Devices & Services Other includes net sales of Vertu, spare 

parts and related cost of sales and operating expenses, as 
well as intellectual property related royalty income. Operating 
expenses of Devices & Services Other also include common re-
search and development. Other income and expenses include 
major restructuring projects/programs related to the Devices 
& Services business as well as other unallocated items. 

Location & Commerce develops a range of location-based 

products and services for consumers, as well as platform 
services and local commerce services for the Group’s feature 
phones and smartphones as well as for other device manu-
facturers, application developers, Internet service provid-
ers, merchants, and advertisers. Location & Commerce also 
continues to serve NAVTEQ’s existing customers both in terms 
of provision of content and as a business-to-business provider 
of map data. Location & Commerce has profi t and loss respon-
sibility and end-to-end accountability for the full consumer 
experience. 

Nokia Siemens Networks provides a portfolio of mobile, 
fi xed and converged network technology, as well as profes-
sional services including managed services, consultancy and 
systems integration, deployment and maintenance to opera-
tors and service providers. 

Corporate Common Functions consists of company-wide 

functions. 

In February , Nokia announced a partnership with Micro-

soft to bring together the respective complementary assets 
and expertise of both parties to build a new global mobile eco-
system for smartphones. The partnership, under which Nokia 
is adopting and licensing Windows Phone from Microsoft as its 
primary smartphone platform, was formalized in April . 
The Group is paying Microsoft a software royalty fee to 
license the Windows Phone smartphone platform, which the 
Group records as royalty expense in its Smart Devices cost of 
goods sold. Nokia has a competitive software royalty structure, 
which includes annual minimum software royalty commitments 
and refl ects the large volumes that the Group expects to ship, 
as well as a variety of other considerations related to engineer-
ing work to which both companies are committed. The Group 
expects that the adoption of Windows Phone will enable it to 
reduce signifi cantly its operating expenses. 

The Microsoft partnership also recognizes the value of intel-
lectual property and puts in place mechanisms for exchanging 
intellectual property rights.  

Nokia adopted its current operational structure during . 

As of April ,  Devices & Services business, previously a 
reportable segment itself, has two operating and reportable 
segments; Smart Devices and Mobile Phones as well as Devices 
& Services Other. As of October , , Location & Commerce, 
was formed by combining the NAVTEQ business, previously 
a reportable segment itself, with Devices & Services social 
location services operations. Prior period results have been 
regrouped and recast for comparability purposes according 
to the new organizational structure. Majority of impacted 
amounts relate to operating expenses which were previously 
recorded in Devices & Services and subsequently transferred 
to Location & Commerce, and which specifi cally related to 
social location services operations. 

In order to consistently refl ect where the economic value 
of location services is created, the recast also impacted cost 
of sales by reportable segment. Amounts that were previ-
ously reported within Devices & Services Other cost of sales 
and Smart Devices cost of sales were transferred to Location 
& Commerce cost of sales. As a consequence of the higher 
value add performed in Location & Commerce, the recasted 
numbers also refl ect a higher internal transfer price, which 
impacted Location & Commerce net sales positively and Smart 
Devices cost of sales negatively. The internal transfer price 
represents revenue to Location & Commerce and cost of sales 
to Smart Devices. 

Location & Commerce will be responsible for developing the 

services going forward and these services will continue to be 
delivered to customers and consumers by Devices & Services 
in combination with our devices. In order to consistently re-
fl ect deferral of services revenue over the service period, the 
recast also had an impact on Location & Commerce revenue 
and corporate eliminations. 

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as 
those described in Note . Nokia accounts for intersegment 
revenues and transfers as if the revenues were to third parties, 
that is, at current market prices. 

No single customer represents % or more of Group 

In recognition of the contributions that the Group is pro-

revenues. 

viding, the Group will receive quarterly platform support 
payments from Microsoft. The received platform support 
payments are recognized over time as a benefi t to our Smart 
Devices costs of goods sold. The total amount of the platform 
payments is expected to slightly exceed the total amount of 
the minimum software royalty commitments.

5.  PENSIONS 

The Group operates a number of post retirement plans in vari-
ous countries. These plans include both defi ned contribution 
and defi ned benefi t schemes. 

The Group’s most signifi cant defi ned benefi t pension 
plans are in Germany and in the UK. The majority of active 
employees in Germany participate in the pension scheme BAP 
(Beitragsorientierter Alterversorgungs Plan), formerly known 
as Beitragsorientierte Siemens Alterversorgung (“BSAV”). 
The funding vehicle for the BAP is the NSN Pension Trust e.V. 
In Germany, individual benefi ts are generally dependent on 
eligible compensation levels, ranking within the Group and 
years of service. 

The majority of active employees in Nokia UK participate in 
a pension scheme which is designed according to the Scheme 
Trust Deeds and Rules and is compliant with the Guidelines of 
the UK Pension Regulator. The funding vehicle for the pen-
sion scheme is Nokia Group (UK) Pension Scheme Ltd which is 
run on a Trust basis. In the UK, individual benefi ts are gener-
ally dependent on eligible compensation levels and years of 
service for the defi ned benefi t section of the scheme and on 
individual investment choices for the defi ned contribution 
section of the scheme.  

The following table sets forth the changes in the benefi t 
obligation and fair value of plan assets during the year and 
the funded status of the signifi cant defi ned benefi t pension 
plans showing the amounts that are recognized in the Group’s 
consolidated statement of fi nancial position at December :

  The Group has reclassified an existing plan as a defined benefit plan 

due to requirement to cover for shortfall in return on plan assets. This 
reclassification did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial 
statements.

Pension increases  

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is 
based on the expected return multiplied with the respective 
percentage weight of the market-related value of plan assets. 
The expected return is defi ned on a uniform basis, refl ecting 
long-term historical returns, current market conditions and 
strategic asset allocation. 

The Group’s pension plan weighted average asset allocation 
as a percentage of Plan Assets at December , , and ,

The objective of the investment activities is to maximize the 
excess of plan assets over projected benefi t obligations, within 
an accepted risk level, taking into account the interest rate and 
infl ation sensitivity of the assets as well as the obligations. 
Derivative instruments can be used to change the portfolio 
asset allocation and risk characteristics. 

The foreign pension plan assets include a self investment 
through a loan provided to Nokia by the Group’s German pen-
sion fund of EUR  million (EUR  million in ). See Note . 
The actual return on plan assets was EUR  million in  

(EUR  million in ). 

In , the Group expects to make contributions of EUR  

million to its defi ned benefi t pension plans.

Goodwill 
Goodwill is allocated to the Group’s cash-generating units 
(CGU) for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation 
is made to those cash-generating units that are expected 
to benefi t from the synergies of the business combination 
in which the goodwill arose. In , the Group has allocated 
goodwill to four cash-generating units, which correspond to 

 
 
the Group’s reportable segments: Smart Devices CGU, Mobile 
Phones CGU, Location & Commerce CGU and Nokia Siemens 
Networks CGU. For the purposes of the Group’s  annual 
impairment testing, the amount of goodwill previously allocat-
ed in  to the Devices & Services CGU has been reallocated 
to the Smart Devices CGU and the Mobile Phones CGU based 
on their relative fair values. Based on the Group’s assessment, 
no goodwill was allocated from Devices & Services to Loca-
tion & Commerce pursuant to the formation of Location & 
Commerce business unit and segment on October , . The 
organizational changes were not a driver of, and did not result 
in an impairment in the Location & Commerce CGU. 

The recoverable amounts for the Smart Devices CGU and 
the Mobile Phones CGU are based on value in use calculations. 
A discounted cash fl ow calculation was used to estimate the 
value in use for both CGUs. Cash fl ow projections determined 
by management are based on information available, to refl ect 
the present value of the future cash fl ows expected to be 
derived through the continuing use of the Smart Devices CGU 
and the Mobile Phones CGU. 

The recoverable amounts for the Location & Commerce CGU 

and the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU are based on fair value 
less costs to sell. A discounted cash fl ow calculation was used 
to estimate the fair value less costs to sell for both CGUs. The 
cash fl ow projections employed in the discounted cash fl ow 
calculation have been determined by management based on 
the information available, to refl ect the amount that an entity 
could obtain from separate disposal of each of the Location 
& Commerce CGU and the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU, in an 
arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing par-
ties, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal. 

The cash fl ow projections employed in the value in use and 
the fair value less costs to sell calculations are based on detailed 
fi nancial plans approved by management, covering a three-year 
planning horizon. Cash fl ows in subsequent periods refl ect a 
realistic pattern of slowing growth that declines towards an 
estimated terminal growth rate utilized in the terminal period. 
The terminal growth rate utilized does not exceed long-term 
average growth rates for the industry and economies in which 
the CGU operates. All cash fl ow projections are consistent with 
external sources of information, wherever available. 

Goodwill amounting to EUR  million, EUR  million and 
EUR  million was allocated to the Smart Devices CGU, Mobile 
Phones CGU and Nokia Siemens Networks CGU, respectively, at 
the date of the  impairment testing. The goodwill impair-
ment testing conducted for the aforementioned CGUs did not 
result in any impairment charges for the year ended December 
, . 

In the fourth quarter of , the Group conducted annual 
impairment testing for the Location & Commerce CGU to as-
sess if events or changes in circumstances indicated that the 
carrying amount of the Location & Commerce CGU was not 
recoverable. As a result, the Group recorded an impairment 
loss of EUR   million to reduce the carrying amount of the 
Location & Commerce CGU to its recoverable amount. The 
impairment loss was allocated in its entirety to the carrying 
amount of goodwill in the balance sheet of the Location & 
Commerce CGU. This impairment loss is presented as impair-
ment of goodwill in the consolidated income statement. As a 
result of the impairment loss, the amount of goodwill allocat-

N O T E S   T O   T H E   C O N S O L I D A T E D   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S

ed to the Location & Commerce CGU has been reduced to EUR 
  million at December , . 

The impairment charge is the result of an evaluation of the 

projected fi nancial performance and net cash fl ows of the 
Location & Commerce CGU. The main drivers for manage-
ment’s net cash fl ow projections include license fees related 
to digital map data, fair value of the services sold within the 
Group and estimated average revenue per user with regard 
to mobile media advertising. The average revenue per user is 
estimated based on peer market data for mobile advertising 
revenue. Projected device sales volumes impact the overall 
forecasted intercompany and advertising revenues. This takes 
into consideration the market dynamics in digital map data 
and related location-based content markets, including the 
Group’s long-term view that the market will move from fee-
based models towards advertising-based models especially 
in some more mature markets. It also refl ects recently an-
nounced results and related competitive factors in local search 
and advertising markets resulting in lower estimated growth 
prospects from location-based assets integrated with diff er-
ent advertising platforms. After consideration of all relevant 
factors, the Group reduced the net sales projections for the 
Location & Commerce CGU which, in turn, reduced projected 
profi tability and cash fl ows. 

The Group has concluded that the recoverable amount for 
the Location & Commerce CGU is most sensitive to the valua-
tion assumptions for discount rate and long-term growth rate. 
A reasonably possible increase in the discount rate or decrease 
in long-term growth rate would give rise to an additional mate-
rial impairment loss. 

The key assumptions applied in the impairment testing 

analysis for each CGU are presented in the table below:

Both value in use of Smart Devices CGU and Mobile Phones 
CGU and fair value less costs to sell for Location & Commerce 
CGU and Nokia Siemens Networks CGU are determined on 
a pre-tax value basis using pre-tax valuation assumptions 
including pre-tax cash fl ows and pre-tax discount rate. As 
market-based rates of return for the Group’s CGUs are avail-
able only on a post-tax basis, the pre-tax discount rates are 
derived by adjusting the post-tax discount rates to refl ect the 
specifi c amount and timing of future tax cash fl ows. 

The discount rates applied in the impairment testing for 

each CGU have been determined independently of capital 
structure refl ecting current assessments of the time value 
of money and relevant market risk premiums. Risk premiums 
included in the determination of the discount rate refl ect risks 
and uncertainties for which the future cash fl ow estimates 
have not been adjusted.

In , the Group recorded an impairment loss of EUR  

million to reduce the carrying amount of the Nokia Siemens 
Networks CGU to its recoverable amount. The impairment loss 
was allocated in its entirety to the carrying amount of goodwill 
arising from the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks and 
from subsequent acquisitions completed by Nokia Siemens 
Networks. As a result of the impairment loss, the amount of 
goodwill allocated to the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU in the 
year ended December , , was reduced to zero. Goodwill 
allocated to the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU has subsequent-
ly increased during , primarily as a result of the acquisition 
of Motorola Solutions’ Networks business (see Note ). 

The goodwill impairment testing conducted for each of the 

Group’s CGUs for the year ended December ,  did not 
result in any impairment charges. 

Other intangible assets 
In conjunction with the Group’s decision to refocus its activi-
ties around specifi ed core assets, the Group recorded impair-
ment charges in  totaling EUR  million for intangible as-
sets arising from the acquisitions of Enpocket and Intellisync 
and the asset acquisition of Twango. The impairment charge 
was recognized in other operating expense and is included in 
Devices & Services Other. 

Property, plant and equipment and inventories 
The majority of  impairment losses recognized with re-
spect to property, plant and equipment resulted from EUR  
million charges related to the Group’s restructuring programs, 
including the closure of manufacturing operations in Cluj, 
Romania, and consolidation of other offi  ce sites. The charges 
were recorded in other operating expense and are included in 
Devices & Services Other. 

Investments in associated companies 
After application of the equity method, including recognition 
of the Group’s share of results of associated companies, the 
Group determined that recognition of impairment losses of 
EUR  million in  (EUR  million in , EUR  million in 
) was necessary to adjust the Group’s investment in as-
sociated companies to its recoverable amount. 

Available-for-sale investments 
The Group’s investment in certain equity and interest bearing 
securities held as available-for-sale suff ered a permanent de-
cline in fair value resulting in an impairment charge of EUR  
million (EUR  million in , EUR  million in ). These 
impairment amounts are included within fi nancial expenses 
and other operating expenses in the consolidated income 
statement. See also Note . 

9.  ACQUISITIONS 

Acquisitions in 2011 

MOTOROLA 
On April ,  Nokia Siemens Networks completed its 
acquisition of assets related to Motorola Solutions’ networks 
business in exchange for a total consideration of EUR  

million. The acquired business consists of Motorola’s wireless 
networks infrastructure equipment manufacturing and sales 
operations, including the GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, WiMAX and LTE 
product portfolios and services off erings. The acquisition 
is expected to strengthen the Group’s position in certain 
regions, particularly North America and Japan. The goodwill 
of EUR  million arising from the acquisition is attributable 
to the increased presence in these key markets and the as-
sembled workforce. The majority of the goodwill acquired is 
expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. 

 The following table summarizes the consideration paid, 
the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and the 
non-controlling interest at December , . The fair values 
of certain intangible and tangible assets acquired remain 
provisional as at December ,  pending fi nalization of the 
valuation of those assets. Consequently, the goodwill is also 
provisional.

Acquisitions in 2009 
During , the Group completed fi ve acquisitions that did 
not have a material impact on the consolidated fi nancial state-
ments. The purchase consideration paid and the total goodwill 
arising from these acquisitions amounted to EUR  million 
and EUR  million, respectively. The goodwill arising from 
these acquisitions is attributable to assembled workforce and 
post acquisition synergies. 

•  Plum Ventures, Inc, based in Boston, USA, develops and 

operates a cloud-based social media sharing and messag-
ing service for private groups. The Group acquired certain 
assets of Plum on September , . 

•  Dopplr Oy, based in Helsinki, Finland, provides a Social Atlas 
that enables members to share travel plans and preferences 
privately with their networks. The Group acquired a % 
ownership interest in Dopplr on September , .  

•  Huano Technology Co., Ltd, based in Changsha, China, 

is an infrastructure service provider with Nokia Siemens 
Networks as its primary customer. Nokia Siemens Networks 
increased its ownership interest in Huano from % to

In , depreciation and amortization allocated to selling and marketing 
included amortization of acquired intangible assets of EUR  million 
(EUR  million in  and EUR  million in ).  

by Motorola Solutions has agreed to make additional install-
ment payments to Nokia Siemens Networks. The installment 
payments are subject to certain conditions that Nokia Siemens 
Networks must fulfi ll over a given time period. The maximum 
amount of installment payments totals EUR  million and 
Nokia Siemens Networks has determined that the fair value of 
the installment payments amounts to EUR  million of which 
EUR  million has been received at December , . 

The fair value of accounts receivables of EUR  million 
includes trade receivables with a fair value of EUR  million. 
The gross contractual amount for trade receivables due is EUR 
 million, of which EUR  million is expected to be uncol-
lectible.  

Acquisition-related costs of EUR  million and EUR  million 

have been charged to administrative and general expenses 
in the consolidated income statement for the years ended 
December ,  and December , , respectively. 

From April , , the consolidated statement of compre-
hensive income includes revenue and net loss contributed by 
the Motorola networks business of EUR  million and EUR  
million, respectively. 

Had Motorola Networks business been consolidated from 
January , , the Group consolidated statement of income 
would show revenue of EUR   million and loss of EUR   
million. This pro forma information is not necessarily indicative 
of the results of the combined operations, had the acquisition 
actually occurred on January , , nor is it indicative of the 
future results of the combined operations. 

During , the Group completed additional acquisitions 
that in aggregate did not have a material impact on the con-
solidated fi nancial statements. 

Acquisitions in 2010 
During , the Group completed several minor acquisi-
tions that did not have a material impact on the consolidated 
fi nancial statements. The purchase consideration paid and 
the total goodwill arising from these acquisitions amounted to 
EUR  million and EUR  million, respectively. The goodwill 
arising from these acquisitions is attributable to assembled 
workforce and post acquisition synergies. 

•  MetaCarta Inc, based in Cambridge, USA, provides unique 
geographic intelligence technology and expertise in geo-

   This item primarily relates to Nokia Siemens Networks’ losses and tempo-
rary differences for which no deferred tax was recognized. In  it also 
includes benefit of EUR  million from reassessment of recoverability of 
deferred tax assets in Nokia Siemens Networks. 

   In  the change in deferred tax liability on undistributed earnings 

mainly relates to changes to tax rates applicable to profit distributions. 

During , the Group received distributions of  million 
(EUR  million in ) included in other fi nancial income from 
a private fund held as non-current available-for-sale. Due 
to these distributions resulting in a reduction in estimated 
future cash fl ows, the Group also recognized an impairment 
loss of  million (EUR  million in ) for the fund included 
in other fi nancial expenses. Due to deterioration of the Asset 
Backed Security market the Group recognized an impairment 
loss of  million in  (EUR  million in ) included in 
other fi nancial expenses. Additional information can be found 
in Note  and Note . 

During , interest income increased mainly as a result 
of higher cash levels than in  and higher interest rates in 
certain currencies where the Group has investments. Lower

tion by tax authorities. The Group does not believe that any 
signifi cant additional taxes in excess of those already provided 
for will arise as a result of the examinations.

cluded available for sale liquid assets of EUR   million (EUR 
  million in ) and cash equivalents of EUR   million 
(EUR   million in ). See Note , section Financial Credit 
Risk, for details on fi xed income and money-market invest-
ments. 

For information about the valuation of items measured at 

fair value see Note . 

In the tables above fair value is set to carrying amount 
for other available-for-sale investments carried at cost less 
impairment for which no reliable fair value has been possible 
to estimate. 

Fair value is estimated to be equal to the carrying amount 
for short-term fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities due to 
limited credit risk and short time to maturity. 

The Group had a non-controlling interest that includes a 
put arrangement measured at its redemption value of EUR  
million at December ,  presented in Other fi nancial 
liabilities. The put arrangement has been exercised in the 
fi rst quarter of . The remaining portion of the line Other 
fi nancial liabilities is comprised of derivative liabilities.  

Note  includes the split of hedge accounted and non-

hedge accounted derivatives.

Level  category includes fi nancial assets and liabilities that 

are measured in whole or in signifi cant part by reference to 
published quotes in an active market. A fi nancial instrument 
is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are 
readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, bro-
ker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency and 
those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market 
transactions on an arm’s length basis. This category includes 
listed bonds and other securities, listed shares and exchange 
traded derivatives. 

Level  category includes fi nancial assets and liabilities 
measured using a valuation technique based on assumptions 
that are supported by prices from observable current market 
transactions. These include assets and liabilities for which 
pricing is obtained via pricing services, but where prices have 
not been determined in an active market, fi nancial assets with 

fair values based on broker quotes and assets that are valued 
using the Group’s own valuation models whereby the material 
assumptions are market observable. The majority of Group’s 
over-the-counter derivatives and several other instruments 
not traded in active markets fall within this category. 

Level  category includes fi nancial assets and liabilities 
measured using valuation techniques based on non market 
observable inputs. This means that fair values are determined 
in whole or in part using a valuation model based on assump-
tions that are neither supported by prices from observable 
current market transactions in the same instrument nor are 
they based on available market data. However, the fair value 
measurement objective remains the same, that is, to estimate 
an exit price from the perspective of the Group. The main as-
set classes in this category are unlisted equity investments as 
well as unlisted funds.

  The fair value of derivative financial instruments is included on the asset 
side under heading Other financial assets and on the liability side under 
Other financial liabilities. 

 

Includes the gross amount of all notional values for contracts that have 
not yet been settled or cancelled. The amount of notional value out-
standing is not necessarily a measure or indication of market risk, as the 
exposure of certain contracts may be offset by that of other contracts. 

  These cross-currency interest rate swaps have been designated partly as 

fair value hedges and partly as cash flow hedges.  

In addition to derivative liabilities the Group had a non-

controlling interest that included a put arrangement measured 
at its redemption value of EUR  million at December ,  
presented in Other fi nancial liabilities. The put arrangement 
has been exercised in the fi rst quarter of .

In , other prepaid expenses and accrued income includ-
ed advance payments to Qualcomm of EUR   million (EUR 
  million in ). In , Nokia and Qualcomm entered 
into a new  year agreement, under the terms of which Nokia 
was granted a license to all Qualcomm’s patents for the use 
in Nokia mobile devices and Nokia Siemens Networks infra-
structure equipment. The fi nancial structure of the agree-
ment included an upfront payment of EUR . billion, which 
is amortized over the contract period and ongoing royalties 
payable to Qualcomm. As part of the licence agreement, Nokia 
also assigned ownership of a number of patents to Qualcomm. 
These patents were valued using the income approach based 
on projected cash fl ows, on a discounted basis, over the as-
signed patents’ estimated useful life. Based on the valuation 
and underlying assumptions Nokia determined that the fair 
value of these patents were not material. 

Prepaid expenses and accrued income also include, ac-
crued interest income and various other prepaid expenses 
and accrued income, but no amounts which are individually 
signifi cant.

  The adjustments relate to acquisitions completed in . For more 

details see Note .  

In order to ensure that amounts deferred in the cash fl ow 
hedging reserve represent only the eff ective portion of gains 
and losses on properly designated hedges of future transac-
tions that remain highly probable at the balance sheet date, 
Nokia has adopted a process under which all derivative gains 
and losses are initially recognized in the income statement. 

The appropriate reserve balance is calculated at the end of 
each period and posted to the fair value and other reserves. 
The Group continuously reviews the underlying cash fl ows 
and the hedges allocated thereto, to ensure that the amounts 
transferred to the fair value reserves during the years ended 
December ,  and  do not include gains/losses

to hedge forecasted sales or purchases that are no longer 
expected to occur. 

All of the net fair value gains or losses recorded in the 
fair value and other reserves at December ,  on open 
forward foreign exchange contracts which hedge anticipated 
future foreign currency sales or purchases are transferred 
from the hedging reserve to the income statement when the 
hedged items aff ect the income statement, at various dates 
up to approximately  year from the balance sheet date.

2 3.  THE  SHARE S  OF  THE  PARENT  COMPANY 

AUTHORIZATIONS PROPOSED TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL 

Nokia shares and shareholders 

SHARES AND SHARE CAPITAL 
Nokia has one class of shares. Each Nokia share entitles the 
holder to one vote at General Meetings of Nokia. 

On December , , the share capital of Nokia Corpora-
tion was EUR   . and the total number of shares 
issued was    . 

On December , , the total number of shares included 

   shares owned by Group companies representing 
approximately .% of the share capital and the total voting 
rights. 

Under the Articles of Association of Nokia, Nokia Corpora-
tion does not have minimum or maximum share capital or a par 
value of a share. 

Authorizations 

AUTHORIZATION TO INCREASE THE SHARE CAPITAL 
At the Annual General Meeting held on May , , Nokia 
share holders authorized the Board of Directors to issue a 
maximum of  million shares through one or more issues 
of shares or special rights entitling to shares, including stock 
options. The Board of Directors may issue either new shares 
or shares held by the Company. The authorization includes the 
right for the Board to resolve on all the terms and conditions of 
such issuances of shares and special rights, including to whom 
the shares and the special rights may be issued. The authoriza-
tion may be used to develop the Company’s capital structure, 
diversify the shareholder base, fi nance or carry out acquisi-
tions or other arrangements, settle the Company’s equity-
based incentive plans, or for other purposes resolved by the 
Board. The authorization is eff ective until June , . 

At the end of , the Board of Directors had no other 

authorizations to issue shares, convertible bonds, warrants or 
stock options. 

OTHER AUTHORIZATIONS 
At the Annual General Meeting held on May , , Nokia 
shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to repurchase 
a maximum of  million Nokia shares by using funds in the 
unrestricted equity. Nokia did not repurchase any shares on 
the basis of this authorization. This authorization was eff ec-
tive until June ,  as per the resolution of the Annual 
General Meeting on May , , but it was terminated by the 
resolution of the Annual General Meeting on May , . 

At the Annual General Meeting held on May , , Nokia 
shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to repurchase 
a maximum of  million Nokia shares by using funds in the 
unrestricted equity. The amount of shares corresponds to 
less than % of all the shares of the Company. The shares 
may be repurchased under the buyback authorization in order 
to develop the capital structure of the Company. In addition, 
shares may be repurchased in order to fi nance or carry out 
acquisitions or other arrangements, to settle the Company’s 
equity-based incentive plans, to be transferred for other 
purposes, or to be cancelled. The authorization is eff ective 
until June , . 

MEETING  
On January , , Nokia announced that the Board of 
Directors will propose that the Annual General Meeting 
convening on May ,  authorize the Board to resolve to 
repurchase a maximum of  million Nokia shares. The pro-
posed maximum number of shares that may be repurchased 
is the same as the Board’s current share repurchase authori-
zation and it corresponds to less than % of all the shares 
of the company. The shares may be repurchased in order to 
develop the capital structure of the Company, fi nance or carry 
out acquisitions or other arrangements, settle the com-
pany’s equity-based incentive plans, be transferred for other 
purposes, or be cancelled. The shares may be repurchased 
either through a tender off er made to all shareholders on 
equal terms, or through public trading from the stock market. 
The authorization would be eff ective until June ,  and 
terminate the current authorization for repurchasing of the 
Company’s shares resolved at the Annual General Meeting on 
May , . 

24.  SHARE-BA SED  PAYMENT 

The Group has several equity-based incentive programs for 
employees. The programs include performance share plans, 
stock option plans and restricted share plans. Both executives 
and employees participate in these programs. 

The equity-based incentive grants are generally conditional 

upon continued employment as well as fulfi llment of such 
performance, service and other conditions, as determined in 
the relevant plan rules. 

The share-based compensation expense for all equity-
based incentive awards amounted to EUR  million in  
(EUR  million in  and EUR  million in ). 

Stock options 
During  Nokia administered three global stock option 
plans, the Stock Option Plan ,  and , each of 
which, including its terms and conditions, has been approved 
by the Annual General Meeting in the year when the plan was 
launched. 

Each stock option entitles the holder to subscribe for one 

new Nokia share. The stock options are non-transferable 
and may be exercised for shares only. All of the stock options 
granted under the Stock Option Plans  and  have a 
vesting schedule with % of the options vesting one year af-
ter grant and .% each quarter thereafter. The stock options 
granted under the  and  plans have a term of approx-
imately fi ve years. The stock options granted under the Stock 
Option Plan  have a vesting schedule with % of stock 
options vesting three years after grant date and the remaining 
% vesting four years from grant. The stock options granted 
under the  plan have a term of approximately six years. 
The exercise price of the stock options is determined at 
the time of grant, on a quarterly basis, in accordance with 
a pre-agreed schedule after the release of Nokia’s periodic 
fi nancial results. The exercise prices are based on the trade 
volume weighted average price of a Nokia share on NASDAQ 
OMX Helsinki during the trading days of the fi rst whole week 



N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 1

of the second month of the respective calendar quarter (i.e., 
February, May, August or November). With respect to the  
Stock Option Plan, should an ex-dividend date take place dur-
ing that week, the exercise price shall be determined based on 
the following week’s trade volume weighted average price of 
the Nokia share on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki. Exercise prices are 
determined on a one-week weighted average to mitigate any 
day-specifi c fl uctuations in Nokia’s share price. The determi-
nation of exercise price is defi ned in the terms and conditions 
of the stock option plan, which are approved by the sharehold-
ers at the respective Annual General Meeting. The Board of 
Directors does not have the right to change how the exercise 
price is determined. 

Shares will be eligible for dividend for the fi nancial year in 
which the subscription takes place. Other shareholder rights 

commence on the date on which the subscribed shares are 
entered in the Trade Register. The stock option grants are 
generally forfeited if the employment relationship terminates 
with Nokia. 

Pursuant to the stock options issued under the global stock 

option plans, an aggregate maximum number of    
new Nokia shares may be subscribed for, representing .% 
of the total number of votes at December , . All share 
subscription prices based on the exercises of stock options are 
recorded in the fund for invested non-restricted equity as per 
a resolution by the Annual General Meeting.

the stock options outstanding at December , .

Expected term of stock options is estimated by observing 
general option holder behavior and actual historical terms of 
Nokia stock option plans. 

Expected volatility has been set by reference to the implied 
volatility of options available on Nokia shares in the open mar-
ket and in light of historical patterns of volatility.

Performance shares 
During , Nokia administered four global performance 
share plans, the Performance Share Plans of , ,  
and , each of which, including its terms and conditions, 
has been approved by the Board of Directors. 

The performance shares represent a commitment by Nokia 
Corporation to deliver Nokia shares to employees at a future 
point in time, subject to Nokia’s fulfi llment of pre-defi ned 
performance criteria. No performance shares will vest un-
less the Group’s performance reaches at least one of the 
threshold levels measured by two independent, pre-defi ned 
performance criteria: the Group’s average annual net sales 
growth for the performance period of the plan and, in the 
Performance Share Plans of ,  and  earnings per 
share (“EPS”) at the end of the performance period and in the 
Performance Share Plan  average annual EPS during the 
performance period. 

The , ,  and  plans have a three-year 
performance period with no interim payout. The shares vest 
after the respective performance period. The shares will be 
delivered to the participants as soon as practicable after they 
vest. Until the Nokia shares are delivered, the participants will 
not have any shareholder rights, such as voting or dividend 
rights associated with the performance shares. The perfor-
mance share grants are generally forfeited if the employment 
relationship terminates with Nokia prior to vesting.

   Includes also performance shares granted under other than global equity 
plans. For further information see “Other equity plans for employees” 
below. 

  The fair value of performance shares is estimated based on the grant date 
market price of the Company’s share less the present value of dividends, 
if any, expected to be paid during the vesting period. 

   Based on the performance of the Group during the Interim Measure-

ment Period –, under the  Performance Share Plan, both 
performance criteria were met. Hence,    Nokia shares equaling 
the threshold number were delivered in . The final payout, in , 
was adjusted by the shares delivered based on the Interim Measurement 
Period. 

   Includes performance shares under Performance Share plan  that 

vested on December , . 

   Includes performance shares under Performance Share plan  that 

vested on December , . 

   Includes performance shares under Performance Share plan  that 

vested on December , .  

   Shares under performance share plan  vested on December ,  

and are therefore not included in the outstanding numbers. 

   Does not include  outstanding performance shares with deferred 

delivery due to leave of absence. 

There will be no settlement under the Performance Share 
Plan  as neither of the threshold performance criteria of 
EPS and Average Annual Net Sales Growth of this plan was met.

 and  plans: diluted non-IFRS. 

Restricted shares 
During , Nokia administered four global restricted share 
plans, the Restricted Share Plans , ,  and , 
each of which, including its terms and conditions, has been 
approved by the Board of Directors. 

Restricted shares are used to recruit, retain and motivate 
selected high potential and critical talent who are vital to the 
future success of Nokia. Restricted shares are used only for 
key management positions and other critical talent. 

All of the Group’s restricted share plans have a restric-
tion period of three years after grant. Until the Nokia shares 
are delivered, the participants will not have any shareholder 
rights, such as voting or dividend rights, associated with the 
restricted shares. The restricted share grants are generally 
forfeited if the employment relationship terminates with 
Nokia prior to vesting.

   Includes also restricted shares granted under other than global equity

below. 

   The fair value of restricted shares is estimated based on the grant date 

market price of the Company’s share less the present value of dividends, 
if any, expected to be paid during the vesting period. 

   Includes   restricted shares granted in Q  under Restricted 

Share Plan  that vested on January , . 

Other equity plans for employees 
In addition to the global equity incentive plans described 
above, Nokia has equity plans for Nokia-acquired businesses 
or employees in the United States and Canada under which 
participants can receive Nokia ADSs or ordinary shares. These 
equity plans do not result in an increase in the share capital 
of Nokia. On the basis of these plans, the Group had . mil-
lion stock options outstanding on December , . The 
weighted average exercise price is USD .. 

In connection with the July ,  acquisition of NAVTEQ, 

the Group assumed NAVTEQ’s  Stock Incentive Plan 
(“NAVTEQ Plan”). All unvested NAVTEQ restricted stock units 
under the NAVTEQ Plan were converted to an equivalent num-
ber of restricted stock units entitling their holders to Nokia 
shares. The maximum number of Nokia shares to be delivered 
to NAVTEQ employees during the years – is approxi-
mately  million, of which approximately . million shares have 
already been delivered by December , . The Group does 
not intend to make further awards under the NAVTEQ Plan. 

The Group also has an Employee Share Purchase Plan in the 

United States, which permits all full-time Nokia employees 
located in the United States to acquire Nokia ADSs at a % 
discount. The purchase of the ADSs is funded through monthly 
payroll deductions from the salary of the participants, and the 
ADSs are purchased on a monthly basis. As of December , 
, approximately   ADSs had been purchased under 
this plan during , and there were a total of approximately 
  participants in the plan. 

Nokia also has a one-time special CEO incentive program 
designed to align the CEO’s compensation to increased share-
holder value and links a meaningful portion of CEO’s compen-
sation directly to the performance of Nokia’s share price over 
the period of -. Mr. Elop has the opportunity to earn 
 –  Nokia shares at the end of  based on two 
independent criteria: Total Shareholder Return (TSR) relative 
to a peer group of companies over the two-year period and 
Nokia’s absolute share price at the end of . If the minimum 
performance for neither of the two performance criterion is 
reached, no share delivery will take place. Shares earned under 
this plan are subject to an additional one-year vesting period.

Analysis of total provisions 
at December 31:

1  753

Outfl ows for the warranty provision are generally expected to 
occur within the next  months. Timing of outfl ows related to 
tax provisions is inherently uncertain. 

The restructuring provision is mainly related to restruc-

turing activities in Devices & Services and Nokia Siemens 
Networks businesses. The majority of outfl ows related to the 
restructuring is expected to occur during . 

In April , Nokia announced plans to reduce its global 
workforce by about   employees by the end of , as 
well as plans to consolidate the company’s research and prod-
uct development sites so that each site has a clear role and 
mission. In September , Nokia announced plans to take 

further actions to align its workforce and operations, which 
includes reductions in Sales and Marketing and Corporate 
functions in line with Nokia’s earlier announcement in April 
. The measures also include the closure of Nokia’s manu-
facturing facility in Cluj, Romania, which–together with adjust-
ments to supply chain operations–has aff ected approximately 
  employees. As a result, Devices & Services recognized a 
restructuring provision of EUR  million in total. 

In , Devices & Services recognized restructuring provi-

sions of EUR  million mainly related to changes in Symbian 
Smartphones and Services organizations as well as certain 
corporate functions that were expected to result in a reduction 
of up to   employees globally. 

In September , Nokia announced a plan to concentrate 
the development eff orts of the Location & Commerce business 
in Berlin, Germany and Boston and Chicago in the USA, and oth-
er supporting sites and plans to close its operations in Bonn, 
Germany and Malvern, USA. As a result, Location & Commerce 
recognized a restructuring provision of EUR  million.

Restructuring and other associated expenses incurred 
in Nokia Siemens Networks in  totaled EUR  million 
(EUR  million in ) including mainly personnel related 
expenses as well as expenses arising from the elimination of 
overlapping functions, and the realignment of product port-
folio and related replacement of discontinued products in 
customer sites. These expenses included EUR  million (EUR 
 million in ) impacting gross profi t, EUR  million (EUR 
 million in ) research and development expenses, EUR  
million reversal of provision (EUR  million in ) in selling 
and marketing expenses, EUR  million (EUR  million in ) 
administrative expenses and EUR  million (EUR  million in 
) other operating expenses.  

Provisions for losses on projects in progress are related to 

Nokia Siemens Networks’ onerous contracts. Utilization of 
provisions for project losses is generally expected to occur in 
the next  months. 

The IPR provision is based on estimated future settlements 

for asserted and unasserted past IPR infringements. Final 
resolution of IPR claims generally occurs over several periods. 
Other provisions include provisions for non-cancellable 
purchase commitments, product portfolio provisions for the 
alignment of the product portfolio and related replacement 
of discontinued products in customer sites and provision 
for pension and other social security costs on share-based 
awards.

Under IAS , basic earnings per share is computed using the 
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the 
period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the 
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the 
period plus the dilutive eff ect of stock options, restricted 
shares and performance shares outstanding during the 
period. 

In , stock options equivalent to  million shares 

( million in  and  million in ) were excluded from 
the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they 
were determined to be anti-dilutive. 

In addition,  million of performance shares were excluded 

from the calculation of dilutive shares because contingency 
conditions have not been met. 

As at  December , there were  million of restricted 
shares outstanding that could potentially have a dilutive im-
pact in the future but were excluded from the calculation.

Property under mortgages given as collateral for our own 

commitments comprise of mortgages given to the Finnish 
National Board of Customs as a general indemnity of EUR  
million in  (EUR  million in ). 

Assets pledged for the Group’s own commitments include 
available-for-sale investments of EUR  million in  (EUR  
million of available-for-sale investments in ). 

Other guarantees include guarantees of EUR  million 
in  (EUR  million in ) provided to certain Nokia 
Siemens Networks’ customers in the form of bank guarantees 
or corporate guarantees issued by Nokia Siemens Networks’ 
Group entity. These instruments entitle the customer to claim 
payment as compensation for non-performance by Nokia 
Siemens Networks of its obligations under network infra-
structure supply agreements. Depending on the nature of the 
guarantee, compensation is payable on demand or subject to 
verifi cation of non-performance. Volume of Other guarantees 
has slightly increased due to release of certain commercial 
guarantees and due to transferred business related commer-
cial guarantees from Motorola Solutions, Inc. 

Contingent liabilities on behalf of other companies were 

EUR  million in  (EUR  million in ).

Management compensation 
The following table sets forth the salary and cash incentive 
information awarded and paid or payable by the company to 
the Chief Executive Offi  cer and President of Nokia Corporation 
for fi scal years – as well as the share-based compen-
sation expense relating to equity-based awards, expensed by 
the company.

mainly with Nokia Siemens Networks’ customers. Availability 
of the amounts is dependent upon the borrower’s continuing 
compliance with stated fi nancial and operational covenants 
and compliance with other administrative terms of the facil-
ity. The loan facilities are primarily available to fund capital 
expenditure relating to purchases of network infrastructure 
equipment and services. 

Venture fund commitments of EUR  million in  (EUR 
 million in ) are fi nancing commitments to a number 
of funds making technology related investments. As a limited 
partner in these funds Nokia is committed to capital contri-
butions and also entitled to cash distributions according to 
respective partnership agreements.  

The Group is party to routine litigation incidental to the 
normal conduct of business, including, but not limited to, 
several claims, suits and actions both initiated by third parties 
and initiated by Nokia relating to infringements of patents, 
violations of licensing arrangements and other intellectual 
property related matters, as well as actions with respect to 
products, contracts and securities. Based on the information 
currently available, and in the opinion of the management, 
outcome of and liabilities in excess of what has been provided 
for related to these or other proceedings, in the aggregate, 
are not likely to be material to the fi nancial condition or result 
of operations. 

As of December , , the Group had purchase commit-
ments of EUR   million (EUR   million in ) relating 
to inventory purchase obligations, service agreements and 
outsourcing arrangements, primarily for purchases in . 
The Group has also entered into a partnership with Microsoft 
whereas the Group is committed to a software royalty struc-
ture which includes annual minimum software royalty com-
mitments. In consideration for Nokia’s contribution under the 
arrangement, the Group will also receive quarterly platform 
support payments from Microsoft. The total amount of the 
platform support payments is expected to slightly exceed the 
total amount of the minimum software royalty commitments. 

30.  LE A SING  CONTR AC TS 

The Group leases offi  ce, manufacturing and warehouse space 
under various non-cancellable operating leases. Certain con-
tracts contain renewal options for various periods of time.

Pension arrangements of certain Nokia
Leadership Team Members 
Stephen Elop, President and CEO, participates in the Finn-
ish TyEL pension system, which provides for a retirement 
benefi t based on years of service and earnings according to 
prescribed statutory rules. Under the Finnish TyEL pen-
sion system, base pay, incentives and other taxable fringe 
benefi ts are included in the defi nition of earnings, although 
gains realized from equity are not. The Finnish TyEL pension 
scheme provides for early retirement benefi ts at age  with 
a reduction in the amount of retirement benefi ts. Standard 
retirement benefi ts are available from age  to , according 
to an increasing scale.

  Nokia Siemens Networks B.V., the ultimate parent of the Nokia Siemens 
Network group, is owned approximately % by each of Nokia and Sie-
mens and consolidated by Nokia. Nokia effectively controls Nokia Siemens 
Networks as it has the ability to appoint key officers and the majority of 
the members of its Board of Directors, and accordingly, Nokia consoli-
dated Nokia Siemens Networks. 

A complete list of subsidiaries and associated companies is 
included in Nokia’s Statutory Accounts. 

General risk management principles 
Nokia has a common and systematic approach to risk manage-
ment across business operations and processes. Material 
risks and opportunities are identifi ed, analyzed, managed and 
monitored as part of business performance management. 
Relevant key risks are identifi ed against business targets 
either in business operations or as an integral part of long and 
short-term planning. Nokia’s overall risk management concept 
is based on visibility of the key risks preventing Nokia from 
reaching its business objectives rather than solely focusing on 
eliminating risks. 

The principles documented in Nokia’s Risk Policy and ac-
cepted by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors 
require risk management and its elements to be integrated 
into business processes. One of the main principles is that the 
business, function or category owner is also the risk owner, but 
it is everyone’s responsibility at Nokia to identify risks, which 
prevent Nokia to reach its objectives. Risk management covers 
strategic, operational, fi nancial and hazard risks.  

Key risks are reported to the Group level management to 
create assurance on business risks as well as to enable prior-
itization of risk management activities at Nokia. In addition to 
general principles there are specifi c risk management policies 
covering, for example treasury and customer related credit 
risks.

Financial risks 
The objective for Treasury activities in Nokia is to guarantee 
cost-effi  cient funding for the Group at all times, and to iden-
tify, evaluate and hedge fi nancial risks. There is a strong focus 
in Nokia on creating shareholder value. Treasury activities sup-
port this aim by: i) mitigating the adverse eff ects caused by 
fl uctuations in the fi nancial markets on the profi tability of the 
underlying businesses; and ii) managing the capital structure 
of the Group by prudently balancing the levels of liquid assets 
and fi nancial borrowings. 

Treasury activities are governed by policies approved by the 

CEO. Treasury Policy provides principles for overall fi nancial 
risk management and determines the allocation of respon-
sibilities for fi nancial risk management in Nokia. Operating 
Procedures cover specifi c areas such as foreign exchange 
risk, interest rate risk, use of derivative fi nancial instruments, 
as well as liquidity and credit risk. Nokia is risk averse in its 
Treasury activities. 

A)  MARKE T  RISK 

Foreign exchange risk 
Nokia operates globally and is thus exposed to foreign ex-
change risk arising from various currencies. Foreign currency 
denominated assets and liabilities together with foreign 
currency denominated cash fl ows from highly probable or 
probable purchases and sales contribute to foreign exchange 
exposure. These transaction exposures are managed against 
various local currencies because of Nokia’s substantial pro-
duction and sales outside the Euro zone. 

According to the foreign exchange policy guidelines of the 
Group, which remains the same as in the previous year, mate-
rial transaction foreign exchange exposures are hedged unless 
hedging would be uneconomical due to market liquidity and/or  
hedging cost. Exposures are defi ned using nominal values of 
the transactions. Exposures are mainly hedged with derivative 
fi nancial instruments such as forward foreign exchange con-
tracts and foreign exchange options. The majority of fi nancial 
instruments hedging foreign exchange risk have duration of 
less than a year. The Group does not hedge forecasted foreign 
currency cash fl ows beyond two years. 

Since Nokia has subsidiaries outside the Euro zone, the 
euro-denominated value of the shareholders’ equity of Nokia 
is also exposed to fl uctuations in exchange rates. Equity 
changes resulting from movements in foreign exchange rates 
are shown as a translation diff erence in the Group consolida-
tion. 

Nokia uses, from time to time, forward foreign exchange 

contracts, foreign exchange options and foreign currency 
denominated loans to hedge its equity exposure arising from 
foreign net investments. 

 At the end of years  and , the following curren-
cies represent a signifi cant portion of the currency mix in the 
outstanding fi nancial instruments:

.  The FX derivatives are used to hedge the foreign exchange risk from fore-
casted highly probable cashflows related to sales, purchases and business 
acquisition activities. In some of the currencies, especially in US Dollar, 
Nokia has substantial foreign exchange risks in both estimated cash 
inflows and outflows, which have been netted in the table. See Note  
for more details on hedge accounting. The underlying exposures hedged 
are not presented in the table, as they are not financial instruments as 
defined under IFRS . 

.  The FX derivatives are used to hedge the Group’s net investment expo-

sure. The underlying exposures hedged are not presented in the table, as 
they are not financial instruments as defined under IFRS . 

.  The balance sheet items and some probable forecasted cash flows which 
are denominated in foreign currencies are hedged by a portion of FX 
derivatives not designated in a hedge relationship and carried at fair value 
through the profit and loss statement. 

.  The FX exposures for  have been recalculated to include options’ 

nominal instead of options’ delta as a measure of exposure. 

Interest rate risk 
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk either through mar-
ket value fl uctuations of balance sheet items (i.e. price risk) or 
through changes in interest income or expenses (i.e. refi -
nancing or reinvestment risk). Interest rate risk mainly arises 
through interest bearing liabilities and assets. Estimated 
future changes in cash fl ows and balance sheet structure also 
expose the Group to interest rate risk. 

The objective of Interest rate risk management is to man-
age uncertainty caused by fl uctuations in interest rates and 
minimize net long-term debt funding costs. 



N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 1

The interest rate exposure of the Group is monitored and 
managed centrally. Nokia uses the Value-at-Risk (VaR) method-
ology complemented by selective shock sensitivity analyses to 
assess and measure the interest rate risk of interest-bearing 
assets, interest-bearing liabilities and related derivatives, 
which together create the Group’s interest rate exposure.  
At the reporting date, the interest rate profi le of the 

Group’s interest-bearing assets and liabilities is presented in

Equity price risk 
Nokia is exposed to equity price risk as the result of market 
price fl uctuations in the listed equity instruments held mainly 
for strategic business reasons. 

Nokia has certain strategic non-controlling investments 
in publicly listed equity shares. The fair value of the equity 
investments which are subject to equity price risk at December 
,  was EUR  million (EUR  million in ). In addition, 
Nokia invests in private equity through venture funds, which, 
from time to time, may have holdings in equity instruments 
which are listed in stock exchanges. These investments are 
classifi ed as available-for-sale carried at fair value. See Note  
for more details on available-for-sale investments. 

Due to the insignifi cant amount of exposure to equity price 

risk, there are currently no outstanding derivative fi nancial 
instruments designated as hedges for these equity invest-
ments. 

Nokia is exposed to equity price risk on social security costs 
relating to its equity compensation plans. Nokia mitigates this 
risk by entering into cash settled equity option contracts as 
appropriate. 

Value-at-Risk 
Nokia uses the Value-at-Risk (VaR) methodology to assess 
the Group exposures to foreign exchange (FX), interest rate, 
and equity risks. The VaR gives estimates of potential fair 
value losses in market risk sensitive instruments as a result 
of adverse changes in specifi ed market factors, at a specifi ed 
confi dence level over a defi ned holding period. 

In Nokia, the FX VaR is calculated with the Monte Carlo 

method which simulates random values for exchange rates in 
which the Group has exposures and takes the non-linear price 
function of certain FX derivative instruments into account. 
The variance-covariance methodology is used to assess and 
measure the interest rate risk and equity price risk. 

The VaR is determined by using volatilities and correla-

tions of rates and prices estimated from a one-year sample of 
historical market data, at % confi dence level, using a one-
month holding period. To put more weight on recent market 
conditions, an exponentially weighted moving average is 
performed on the data with an appropriate decay factor. 
This model implies that within a one-month period, the 
potential loss will not exceed the VaR estimate in % of pos-
sible outcomes. In the remaining % of possible outcomes, the 
potential loss will be at minimum equal to the VaR fi gure, and 
on average substantially higher.  

The VaR methodology relies on a number of assumptions, 

such as, a) risks are measured under average market condi-
tions, assuming that market risk factors follow normal dis-
tributions; b) future movements in market risk factors follow 
estimated historical movements; c) the assessed exposures do 
not change during the holding period. Thus it is possible that, 
for any given month, the potential losses at % confi dence 
level are diff erent and could be substantially higher than the 
estimated VaR. 

FX risk 
The VaR fi gures for the Group’s fi nancial instruments which 
are sensitive to foreign exchange risks are presented in Table 
 below. As defi ned under IFRS , the VaR calculation includes 
foreign currency denominated monetary fi nancial instruments 
such as: 

»  Available-for-sale investments, loans and receivables, 

investments at fair value through profi t and loss, cash, loans 
and accounts payable. 

»  FX derivatives carried at fair value through profi t and loss 
which are not in a hedge relationship and are mostly used 
for hedging balance sheet FX exposure. 

»  FX derivatives designated as forecasted cash fl ow hedges 
and net investment hedges. Most of the VaR is caused by 
these derivatives as forecasted cash fl ow and net invest-
ment exposures are not fi nancial instruments as defi ned 
under IFRS  and thus not included in the VaR calculation.

B)  CREDIT  RISK 
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default 
on its contractual obligations resulting in fi nancial loss to the 
Group. Credit risk arises from bank and cash, fi xed income and 
money-market investments, derivative fi nancial instruments, 
loans receivable as well as credit exposures to customers, 
including outstanding receivables, fi nancial guarantees and 
committed transactions. Credit risk is managed separately for 
business related and fi nancial credit exposures. 

Except as detailed in the following table, the maximum ex-
posure to credit risk is limited to the book value of the fi nancial 
assets as included in Group’s balance sheet: 

EURm 

2011

December , , while the top three credit exposures by 
country amounted to .%, .% and .% (.%, .% and 
.% in ), respectively. 

The Group has provided allowances for doubtful accounts 
as needed on accounts receivable and loans due from custom-
ers and other third parties not past due, based on the analysis 
of debtors’ credit quality and credit history. The Group es-
tablishes allowances for doubtful accounts that represent an 
estimate of incurred losses as of the end of reporting period. 
All receivables and loans due from customers and other third 
parties are considered on an individual basis in establishing 
the allowances for doubtful accounts. 

As at December , , the carrying amount before 
deducting any allowances for doubtful accounts as well as 
amounts expected to be uncollectible for acquired receivables 
relating to customers for which an allowance was provided 
or an uncollectible amount has been identifi ed amounted 
to EUR   million (EUR   million in ). The amount 
of provision taken against that portion of these receivables 
considered to be impaired as well as the amount expected to 
be uncollectible for acquired receivables was a total of EUR  
million (EUR  million in ) (see also Note  and Note ). 

 An amount of EUR  million (EUR  million in ) 
relates to past due receivables from customers for which no 
allowances for doubtful accounts were recognized. The aging 
of these receivables is as follows:

Business Related Credit Risk 
The Company aims to ensure highest possible quality in ac-
counts receivable and loans due from customers and other 
third parties. The Group Credit Policy, approved by the Nokia 
Leadership Team, lays out the framework for the management 
of the business related credit risks in all Nokia group compa-
nies. 

Credit exposure is measured as the total of accounts receiv-

able and loans outstanding due from customers and other 
third parties, and committed credits. 

Group Credit Policy provides that credit decisions are 
based on credit evaluation including credit rating for larger 
exposures. Nokia & Nokia Siemens Networks Rating Policy 
defi nes the rating principles. Ratings are approved by Nokia 
& Nokia Siemens Networks Rating Committee. Credit risks 
are approved and monitored according to the credit policy of 
each business entity. These policies are based on the Group 
Credit Policy. Concentrations of customer or country risks are 
monitored at the Nokia Group level. When appropriate, credit 
risks are mitigated with the use of approved instruments, such 
as letters of credit, collateral or insurance and sale of selected 
receivables. 

The accounts receivable do not include any major concen-
trations of credit risk by customer or by geography. Top three 
customers account for approximately .%, .% and .% 
(.%, .% and .% in ) of Group accounts receivable 
and loans due from customers and other third parties as at 

The carrying amount of accounts receivable that would 

otherwise be past due or impaired but whose terms have been 
renegotiated was EUR  million (EUR  million in ). 

Financial Credit Risk 
Financial instruments contain an element of risk of loss result-
ing from counterparties being unable to meet their obliga-
tions. This risk is measured and monitored centrally by Treas-
ury. Nokia manages fi nancial credit risk actively by limiting 
its counterparties to a suffi  cient number of major banks and 
fi nancial institutions and monitoring the credit worthiness and 
exposure sizes continuously as well as through entering into 
netting arrangements (which gives Nokia the right to off  set in 
the event that the counterparty would not be able to fulfi ll the 
obligations) with all major counterparties and collateral agree-
ments (which require counterparties to post collateral against 
derivative receivables) with certain counterparties. 

Nokia’s investment decisions are based on strict creditwor-
thiness and maturity criteria as defi ned in the Treasury Policy 
and Operating Principles. As result of this investment policy 
approach and active management of outstanding investment 
exposures, Nokia has not been subject to any material credit 
losses in its fi nancial investments. 

The table below presents the breakdown of the outstanding 

fi xed income and money market investments by sector and 
credit rating grades ranked as per Moody’s rating categories.

  Fixed income and money-market investments include term deposits, in-

 

vestments in liquidity funds and investments in fixed income instruments 
classified as available-for-sale investments and investments at fair value 
through profit and loss. Liquidity funds invested solely in government 
securities are included under Governments. Other liquidity funds are 
included under Banks. 

Included within fixed income and money-market investments is EUR  
million of restricted investment at December ,  (EUR  million at 
December , ). They are restricted financial assets under various

C)  LIQUIDIT Y  RISK 
Liquidity risk is defi ned as fi nancial distress or extraordinary 
high fi nancing costs arising due to a shortage of liquid funds in 
a situation where business conditions unexpectedly dete-
riorate and require fi nancing. Transactional liquidity risk is 
defi ned as the risk of executing a fi nancial transaction below 
fair market value, or not being able to execute the transaction 
at all, within a specifi c period of time. 

suffi  cient liquidity, and to ensure that it is available fast 
enough without endangering its value, in order to avoid uncer-
tainty related to fi nancial distress at all times. 

Nokia guarantees a suffi  cient liquidity at all times by ef-

fi cient cash management and by investing in short-term liquid 
interest bearing securities. The transactional liquidity risk is 
minimized by entering transactions where proper two-way 
quotes can be obtained from the market. 

Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying business, Nokia 

and Nokia Siemens Networks aim at maintaining fl exibility in

funding by keeping committed and uncommitted credit lines 
available. Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks manage their re-
spective credit facilities independently and facilities do not in-
clude cross-default clauses between Nokia and Nokia Siemens 
Networks or any forms of guarantees from either party. At the 
end of December ,  the committed facilities totaled EUR 
  million (EUR   million in ).  

The most signifi cant existing Committed Facilities 
include: 

Borrower(s): 

Nokia Corporation:  

Nokia Siemens Networks 
Finance B.V. and 
Nokia Siemens
Networks Oy: 

EUR 1 500 million 
Revolving Credit Facility,

EUR 2 000 million Revolving  
Credit Facility, maturing 2012

back up purposes. As at year end , this facility was fully 
undrawn. 

On December , , Nokia Siemens Networks signed 
a forward starting term and multicurrency revolving facili-
ties agreement valued at EUR   million to replace Nokia 
Siemens Networks’ existing EUR   million revolving credit 
facility when it matures in June . The committed facili-
ties are comprised in equal parts of a revolving credit facility 
maturing in June  and a term loan facility that matures in 
June . They will be used for general corporate purposes. 
The amount of commitments available under the Forward 
Starting Credit Facilities may be increased until the forward 
starting date in June  and by March  the commitment 
has been increased by EUR  million to EUR   million. 
Both the EUR   million Forward Starting Credit Facility and 
the existing EUR   million Revolving Credit Facility include 
fi nancial covenants related to leverage and interest cover-
age of Nokia Siemens Networks. As of December , , EUR 
 million of the existing EUR   million Revolving Credit 
Facility was drawn and all fi nancial covenants were satisfi ed. 

As of December ,  the weighted average commitment 

EUR   million Revolving Credit Facility of Nokia Corporation

Hazard risk 
Nokia strives to ensure that all fi nancial, reputation and 
other losses to the Group and our customers are minimized 
through preventive risk management measures. Insurance 
is purchased for risks, which cannot be effi  ciently internally 
managed and where insurance markets off er acceptable terms 
and conditions. The objective is to ensure that hazard risks, 
whether related to physical assets (e.g. buildings) or intel-
lectual assets (e.g. Nokia) or potential liabilities (e.g. product 
liability) are optimally insured taking into account both cost 
and retention levels. 

Nokia purchases both annual insurance policies for specifi c 

risks as well as multiline and/or multiyear insurance policies, 
where available.

Pension arrangements of certain Nokia

Stephen Elop, President and CEO, participates in the Finn-
ish TyEL pension system, which provides for a retirement 
benefi t based on years of service and earnings according to 
prescribed statutory rules. Under the Finnish TyEL pen-
sion system, base pay, incentives and other taxable fringe 
benefi ts are included in the defi nition of earnings, although 
gains realized from equity are not. The Finnish TyEL pension 
scheme provides for early retirement benefi ts at age  with 
a reduction in the amount of retirement benefi ts. Standard 
retirement benefi ts are available from age  to , according 
to an increasing scale.

posed maximum number of shares that may be repurchased 
is the same as the Board’s current share repurchase authori-
zation and it corresponds to less than % of all the shares 
of the company. The shares may be repurchased in order to 
develop the capital structure of the Company, fi nance or carry 
out acquisitions or other arrangements, settle the com-
pany’s equity-based incentive plans, be transferred for other

either through a tender off er made to all shareholders on 
equal terms, or through public trading from the stock market. 
The authorization would be eff ective until June ,  and 
terminate the current authorization for repurchasing of the 
Company’s shares resolved at the Annual General Meeting on 
May , .

*  As of April , , Nokia results include those of Nokia Siemens Networks 
on a fully consolidated basis. Nokia Siemens Networks, a company jointly 
owned by Nokia and Siemens, is comprised of Nokia’s former Networks 
business group and Siemens’ carrier-related operations for fixed and

Siemens Networks for the full years – are not directly compara-
ble to the results for the full year . Nokia’s first quarter  results 
included Nokia’s former Networks business group only.

  On July , , Nokia completed the acquisition of NAVTEQ Corporation. 
NAVTEQ was a separate reportable segment of Nokia starting from the 
third quarter  until end of third quarter . Accordingly, the results 
of NAVTEQ are not available for prior period. As of October , , Loca-
tion & Commerce was formed by combining the NAVTEQ business with 
Devices & Services social location services operations.

SIGNING OF THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS 2011 
AND PROPOSAL BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 
FOR DISTRIBUTION OF PROFIT

The distributable funds in the balance sheet of the Company 
as per December ,  amount to EUR   million.

The Board proposes that from the retained earnings a divi-
dend of EUR . per share is to be paid out on the shares of 
the Company. As per December , , the number of shares 
of the Company amounted to    , based on which 
the maximum amount to be distributed as dividend is 
EUR  million. 

The proposed dividend is in line with the Company’s distribu-
tion policy and it signifi cantly exceeds the minority dividend 
required by law.

the Board of Directors in Finland. The Board of Directors is 
responsible for the appropriate arrangement of the control 
of the company’s accounts and fi nances, and the Managing 
Director shall see to it that the accounts of the company are in 
compliance with the law and that its fi nancial aff  airs have been 
arranged in a reliable manner.

Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the fi nancial 
statements, on the consolidated fi nancial statements and on 
the review by the Board of Directors based on our audit. The 
Auditing Act requires that we comply with the requirements 
of professional ethics. We conducted our audit in accordance 
with good auditing practice in Finland. Good auditing practice 
requires that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reason-
able assurance about whether the fi nancial statements and 
the review by the Board of Directors are free from material 
misstatement, and whether the members of the Board of 
Directors of the parent company and the Managing Director 
are guilty of an act or negligence which may result in liability 
in damages towards the company or have violated the Limited 
Liability Companies Act or the articles of association of the 
company.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit 
evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial 
statements and the review by the Board of Directors. The 
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, in-

cluding the assessment of the risks of material misstatement, 
whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assess-
ments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the 
entity’s preparation of the fi nancial statements and the review 
by the Board of Directors that give a true and fair view in order 
to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circum-
stances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on 
the eff ectiveness of the company’s internal control. An audit 
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting 
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates 
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall pres-
entation of the fi nancial statements and the review by the 
Board of Directors.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suf-
fi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion on the consolidated fi nancial statements
In our opinion, the consolidated fi nancial statements give a 
true and fair view of the fi nancial position, fi nancial per-
formance, and cash fl ows of the group in accordance with 
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted 
by the EU.

Opinion on the company’s fi nancial statements and 
the review by the Board of Directors
In our opinion, the fi nancial statements and the review by the 
Board of Directors give a true and fair view of both the con-
solidated and the parent company’s fi nancial performance and 
fi nancial position in accordance with the laws and regulations 
governing the preparation of the fi nancial statements and the 
review by the Board of Directors in Finland. The information 
in the review by the Board of Directors is consistent with the 
information in the fi nancial statements.

Other opinions
We support that the fi nancial statements should be adopted. 
The proposal by the Board of Directors regarding the distribu-
tion of the profi t shown in the balance sheet is in compliance 
with the Limited Liability Companies Act. We support that the 
Members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director 
should be discharged from liability for the fi nancial period 
audited by us.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our accounting policies aff ecting our fi nancial condition and 
results of operations are more fully described in Note  to our 
consolidated fi nancial statements. Some of our accounting 
policies require the application of judgment by management 
in selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating fi nancial 
estimates, which inherently contain some degree of uncer-
tainty. Management bases its estimates on historical experi-
ence and various other assumptions that are believed to be 
reasonable under the circumstances. The related results form 
the basis for making judgments about reported carrying values 
of assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and 
expenses that may not be readily apparent from other sources. 
The Group will revise material estimates if changes occur in the 
circumstances on which an estimate was based or as a result of 
new information or more experience. Actual results may diff er 
from current estimates under diff erent assumptions or condi-
tions. The estimates aff ect all our businesses equally unless 
otherwise indicated. 

The following paragraphs discuss critical accounting policies 

and related judgments and estimates used in the preparation 
of our consolidated fi nancial statements. We have discussed 
the application of these critical accounting estimates with our 
Board of Directors and Audit Committee. 

RE VENUE  RECOGNITION 
Majority of the Group’s sales are recognized when the signifi -
cant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the 
buyer, continuing managerial involvement usually associated 
with ownership and eff ective control have ceased, the amount 
of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that eco-
nomic benefi ts associated with the transaction will fl ow to the 
Group, and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of 
the transaction can be measured reliably. The remainder of rev-
enue is recorded under the percentage of completion method. 
Devices & Services and certain Local & Commerce and Nokia 
Siemens Networks revenues are generally recognized when the 
signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to 
the buyer, continuing managerial involvement usually associ-
ated with ownership and eff ective control have ceased, the 
amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that 
economic benefi ts associated with the transaction will fl ow to 
the Group and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect 
of the transaction can be measured reliably. This requires us to 
assess at the point of delivery whether these criteria have been 

met. When management determines that such criteria have 
been met, revenue is recognized. We record estimated reduc-
tions to revenue for special pricing agreements, price protec-
tion and other volume based discounts at the time of sale, 
mainly in the mobile device business. Sales adjustments for 
volume based discount programs are estimated largely based 
on historical activity under similar programs. Price protection 
adjustments are based on estimates of future price reduc-
tions and certain agreed customer inventories at the date of 
the price adjustment. Devices & Services and certain Nokia 
Siemens Networks service revenue is generally recognized on 
a straight line basis over the service period unless there is evi-
dence that some other method better represents the stage of 
completion. Devices & Services and Location & Commerce li-
cense fees from usage are recognized in the period when they 
are reliably measurable which is normally when the customer 
reports them to the Group. 

Devices & Services, Location & Commerce and Nokia 

Siemens Networks may enter into multiple component trans-
actions consisting of any combination of hardware, services 
and software. The commercial eff ect of each separately 
identifi able element of the transaction is evaluated in order 
to refl ect the substance of the transaction. The considera-
tion from these transactions is allocated to each separately 
identifi able component based on the relative fair value of each 
component. The consideration allocated to each component is 
recognized as revenue when the revenue recognition criteria 
for that element have been met. The Group determines the 
fair value of each component by taking into consideration 
factors such as the price when the component is sold sepa-
rately by the Group, the price when a similar component is 
sold separately by the Group or a third party and cost plus a 
reasonable margin. 

Nokia Siemens Networks revenue and cost of sales from 
contracts involving solutions achieved through modifi cation 
of complex telecommunications equipment is recognized on 
the percentage of completion basis when the outcome of the 
contract can be estimated reliably. This occurs when total 
contract revenue and the cost to complete the contract can 
be estimated reliably, it is probable that economic benefi ts 
associated with the contract will fl ow to the Group, and the 
stage of contract completion can be measured. When we are 
not able to meet one or more of those conditions, the policy 
is to recognize revenues only equal to costs incurred to date, 



C R I T I C A L   A C C O U N T I N G   P O L I C I E S

to the extent that such costs are expected to be recovered. 
Completion is measured by reference to costs incurred to date 
as a percentage of estimated total project costs using the 
cost-to-cost method. 

The percentage of completion method relies on estimates 

of total expected contract revenue and costs, as well as the 
dependable measurement of the progress made towards 
completing the particular project. Recognized revenues and 
profi t are subject to revisions during the project in the event 
that the assumptions regarding the overall project outcome 
are revised. The cumulative impact of a revision in estimates 
is recorded in the period such revisions become probable and 
can be estimated reliably. Losses on projects in progress are 
recognized in the period they become probable and can be 
estimated reliably. 

Nokia Siemens Networks’ current sales and profi t estimates 
for projects may change due to the early stage of a long-term 
project, new technology, changes in the project scope, chang-
es in costs, changes in timing, changes in customers’ plans, 
realization of penalties, and other corresponding factors. 

CUSTOMER  FINANCING 
We have provided a limited number of customer fi nancing 
arrangements and agreed extended payment terms with se-
lected customers. In establishing credit arrangements, man-
agement must assess the creditworthiness of the customer 
and the timing of cash fl ows expected to be received under 
the arrangement. However, should the actual fi nancial position 
of our customers or general economic conditions diff er from 
our assumptions, we may be required to reassess the ultimate 
collectability of such fi nancings and trade credits, which could 
result in a write-off  of these balances in future periods and 
thus negatively impact our profi ts in future periods. Our as-
sessment of the net recoverable value considers the collateral 
and security arrangements of the receivable as well as the 
likelihood and timing of estimated collections. From time to 
time, the Group endeavors to mitigate this risk through trans-
fer of its rights to the cash collected from these arrangements 
to third-party fi nancial institutions on a non-recourse basis in 
exchange for an upfront cash payment. During the past three 
fi scal years the Group has not had any write-off  s or impair-
ments regarding customer fi nancing. The fi nancial impact of 
the customer fi nancing related assumptions mainly aff ects the 
Nokia Siemens Networks business. See also Note (b) to our 

consolidated fi nancial statements for a further discussion of 
long-term loans to customers and other parties. 

ALLOWANCE S  FOR  DOUBTFUL  ACCOUNTS 
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated 
losses resulting from the subsequent inability of our custom-
ers to make required payments. If fi nancial conditions of our 
customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of 
their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be 
required in future periods. Management specifi cally ana-
lyzes accounts receivables and historical bad debt, customer 
concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current eco-
nomic trends and changes in our customer payment terms 
when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful 
accounts. Based on these estimates and assumptions the al-
lowance for doubtful accounts was EUR  million at the end 
of  (EUR  million at the end of ). 

INVENTORY-REL ATED  ALLOWANCE S 
We periodically review our inventory for excess, obsolescence 
and declines in market value below cost and record an allow-
ance against the inventory balance for any such declines. 
These reviews require management to estimate future 
demand for our products. Possible changes in these estimates 
could result in revisions to the valuation of inventory in future 
periods. Based on these estimates and assumptions, the al-
lowance for excess and obsolete inventory was EUR  million 
at the end of  (EUR  million at the end of ). The 
fi nancial impact of the assumptions regarding this allowance 
aff ects mainly the cost of sales of the Devices & Services and 
Nokia Siemens Networks businesses. 

WARR ANT Y  PROVISIONS 
We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at 
the time revenue is recognized. Our products are covered 
by product warranty plans of varying periods, depending on 
local practices and regulations. While we engage in extensive 
product quality programs and processes, including actively 
monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component 
suppliers, our warranty obligations are aff ected by actual 
product failure rates (fi eld failure rates) and by material usage 
and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product 
failure. Our warranty provision is established based upon our 
best estimates of the amounts necessary to settle future 



N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 1

and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet 
date. As we continuously introduce new products which 
incorporate complex technology, and as local laws, regulations 
and practices may change, it will be increasingly diffi  cult to 
anticipate our failure rates, the length of warranty periods and 
repair costs. While we believe that our warranty provisions are 
adequate and that the judgments applied are appropriate, the 
ultimate cost of product warranty could diff er materially from 
our estimates. When the actual cost of quality of our products 
is lower than we originally anticipated, we release an appropri-
ate proportion of the provision, and if the cost of quality is 
higher than anticipated, we increase the provision. Based on 
these estimates and assumptions the warranty provision was 
EUR  million at the end of  (EUR  million at the end 
of ). The fi nancial impact of the assumptions regarding 
this provision mainly aff ects the cost of sales of our Devices & 
Services business. 

PROVISION  FOR  INTELLEC TUAL  PROPERT Y
RIGHTS,  OR  IPR,  INFRINGEMENTS 
We provide for the estimated future settlements related to 
asserted and unasserted past alleged IPR infringements based 
on the probable outcome of each potential infringement. 

Our products include increasingly complex technologies 
involving numerous patented and other proprietary technolo-
gies. Although we proactively try to ensure that we are aware 
of any patents and other intellectual property rights related 
to our products under development and thereby avoid inad-
vertent infringement of proprietary technologies, the nature 
of our business is such that patent and other intellectual 
property right infringements may and do occur. We identify 
potential IPR infringements through contact with parties 
claiming infringement of their patented or otherwise exclusive 
technology, or through our own monitoring of developments 
in patent and other intellectual property right cases involving 
our competitors. 

We estimate the outcome of all potential IPR infringements 

made known to us through assertion by third parties, or 
through our own monitoring of patent- and other IPR-related 
cases in the relevant legal systems. To the extent that we 
determine that an identifi ed potential infringement will result 
in a probable outfl ow of resources, we record a liability based 
on our best estimate of the expenditure required to settle 
infringement proceedings. Based on these estimates and 

assumptions the provision for IPR infringements was EUR  
million at the end of  (EUR  million at the end of ). 
The fi nancial impact of the assumptions regarding this provi-
sion mainly aff ects our Devices & Services business. 

 Our experience with claims of IPR infringement is that 
there is typically a discussion period with the accusing party, 
which can last from several months to years. In cases where 
a settlement is not reached, the discovery and ensuing legal 
process typically lasts a minimum of one year. For this rea-
son, IPR infringement claims can last for varying periods of 
time, resulting in irregular movements in the IPR infringement 
provision. In addition, the ultimate outcome or actual cost of 
settling an individual infringement may materially vary from 
our estimates. 

LEGAL  CONTINGENCIE S 
As discussed in Note  to the consolidated fi nancial state-
ments, legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters 
are pending or threatened in various jurisdictions against the 
Group. We record provisions for pending litigation when we 
determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the 
amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inher-
ent uncertain nature of litigation, the ultimate outcome or 
actual cost of settlement may materially vary from estimates. 

C APITALIZED  DE VELOPMENT  COSTS 
We capitalize certain development costs primarily in the Nokia 
Siemens Networks business when it is probable that a devel-
opment project will be a success, the development project 
will generate further economic benefi ts and certain criteria, 
including commercial and technical feasibility, have been met. 
These costs are then amortized on a systematic basis over 
their expected useful lives, which due to the constant develop-
ment of new technologies is between two to fi ve years. During 
the development stage, management must estimate the 
commercial and technical feasibility of these projects as well as 
their expected useful lives. Should a product fail to substanti-
ate its estimated feasibility or life cycle, we may be required to 
write off  excess development costs in future periods. 

Whenever there is an indicator that development costs 
capitalized for a specifi c project may be impaired, the recover-
able amount of the asset is estimated. An asset is impaired 
when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable 
amount. The recoverable amount is defi ned as the higher of 



C R I T I C A L   A C C O U N T I N G   P O L I C I E S

an asset’s net selling price and value in use. Value in use is the 
present value of discounted estimated future cash fl ows ex-
pected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from 
its disposal at the end of its useful life. For projects still in de-
velopment, these estimates include the future cash outfl ows 
that are expected to occur before the asset is ready for use. 
See Note  to our consolidated fi nancial statements. 

Impairment reviews are based upon our projections of 

anticipated discounted future cash fl ows. The most signifi cant 
variables in determining cash fl ows are discount rates, termi-
nal values, the number of years on which to base the cash fl ow 
projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used 
to determine the cash infl ows and outfl ows. Management de-
termines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent 
in the related activity’s current business model and industry 
comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of 
products and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash fl ows 
over that period. While we believe that our assumptions are 
appropriate, such amounts estimated could diff er materially 
from what will actually occur in the future. 

BUSINE SS  COMBINATIONS 
We apply the acquisition method of accounting to account for 
acquisitions of businesses. The consideration transferred in a 
business combination is measured as the aggregate of the fair 
values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred towards 
the former owners of the acquired business and equity instru-
ments issued. Acquisition-related costs are recognized as 
expense in profi t and loss in the periods when the costs are 
incurred and the related services are received. Identifi able as-
sets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured separately 
at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Non-controlling 
interests in the acquired business are measured separately 
based on their proportionate share of the identifi able net 
assets of the acquired business. The excess of the cost of the 
acquisition over our interest in the fair value of the identifi able 
net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. 

The determination and allocation of fair values to the 
identifi able assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based 
on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requir-
ing considerable management judgment. The most signifi cant 
variables in these valuations are discount rates, terminal 
values, the number of years on which to base the cash fl ow 
projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to 

determine the cash infl ows and outfl ows. Management deter-
mines the discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent 
in the related activity’s current business model and industry 
comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life 
of products and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash 
fl ows over that period. Although we believe that the assump-
tions applied in the determination are reasonable based on 
information available at the date of acquisition, actual results 
may diff er from the forecasted amounts and the diff erence 
could be material. 

VALUATION  OF  LONG -LIVED  A SSE TS,
INTANGIBLE  A SSE TS  AND  GOODWILL 
We assess the carrying amount of identifi able intangible 
assets and long-lived assets if events or changes in circum-
stances indicate that such carrying amount may not be recov-
erable. We assess the carrying amount of our goodwill at least 
annually, or more frequently based on these same indicators. 
Factors that we consider important, and which could trigger 
an impairment review, include the following: 

»  signifi cant underperformance relative to historical or 

projected future results; 

»  signifi cant changes in the manner of our use of these assets 

or the strategy for our overall business; and 

»  signifi cantly negative industry or economic trends. 

When we determine that the carrying amount of intangible 
assets, long-lived assets or goodwill may not be recoverable 
based upon the existence of one or more of the above indica-
tors of impairment, we measure any impairment based on 
discounted projected cash fl ows. 

This review is based upon our projections of anticipated 
discounted future cash fl ows. The most signifi cant variables in 
determining cash fl ows are discount rates, terminal values, the 
number of years on which to base the cash fl ow projections, as 
well as the assumptions and estimates used to determine the 
cash infl ows and outfl ows. Management determines discount 
rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related 
activity’s current business model and industry comparisons. 
Terminal values are based on the expected life of products 
and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash fl ows over that 
period. While we believe that our assumptions are appropri-



N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 1

ate, such amounts estimated could diff er materially from what 
will actually occur in the future. In assessing goodwill, these 
discounted cash fl ows are prepared at a cash generating unit 
level. Amounts estimated could diff er materially from what will 
actually occur in the future. 

Goodwill is allocated to the Group’s cash-generating units 
(CGU) and discounted cash fl ows are prepared at CGU level for 
the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation of goodwill 
to our CGUs is made in a manner that is consistent with the 
level at which management monitors operations and the CGUs 
are expected to benefi t from the synergies arising from each 
of our acquisitions. Accordingly, goodwill has been allocated to 
the Group’s reportable segments; Smart Devices CGU, Mobile 
Phones CGU, Location & Commerce CGU and Nokia Siemens 
Networks CGU. For the purposes of the Group’s  annual 
impairment testing, the amount of goodwill previously allocat-
ed in  to the Devices & Services CGU has been reallocated 
to the Smart Devices CGU and the Mobile Phones CGU based 
on their relative fair values. Based on the Group’s assess-
ment, no goodwill was allocated from Devices & Services to 
Location & Commerce pursuant to the formation of Location & 
Commerce business unit and segment on October , . The 
organizational changes were not a driver of, and did not result 
in an impairment in the Location & Commerce CGU. Goodwill 
amounting to EUR  million, EUR  million and EUR  
million was allocated to the Smart Devices CGU, Mobile Phones 
CGU and Nokia Siemens Networks CGU, respectively, at the 
date of the  impairment testing. 

In the fourth quarter of , we conducted our annual 
impairment testing to assess if events or changes in circum-
stances indicated that the carrying amount of our goodwill 
may not be recoverable. The impairment testing was carried 
out based on management’s assessment of fi nancial perfor-
mance and future strategies in light of current and expected 
market and economic conditions. 

The recoverable amounts for the Smart Devices CGU and 
the Mobile Phones CGU are based on value in use calculations. 
A discounted cash fl ow calculation was used to estimate the 
value in use for both CGUs. Cash fl ow projections determined 
by management are based on information available, to refl ect 
the present value of the future cash fl ows expected to be 
derived through the continuing use of the Smart Devices CGU 
and the Mobile Phones CGU. 

The recoverable amounts for the Location & Commerce CGU 

and the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU are based on fair value 
less costs to sell. A discounted cash fl ow calculation was used 
to estimate the fair value less costs to sell for both CGUs. The 
cash fl ow projections employed in the discounted cashfl ow 
calculation have been determined by management based on 
the information available, to refl ect the amount that an entity 
could obtain from separate disposal of each of the Location 
& Commerce CGU and the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU, in an 
arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing par-
ties, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal. 

The cash fl ow projections employed in the value in use 
and the fair value less costs to sell calculations are based on 
detailed fi nancial plans approved by management, covering a 
three-year planning horizon. Cash fl ows in subsequent peri-
ods refl ect a realistic pattern of slowing growth that declines 
towards an estimated terminal growth rate utilized in the 
terminal period. The terminal growth rate utilized does not 
exceed long-term average growth rates for the industry and 
economies in which the CGU operates. All cash fl ow projections 
are consistent with external sources of information, wherever 
available. 

The goodwill impairment testing conducted for the Smart 
Devices CGU, Mobile Phones CGU and Nokia Siemens Networks 
CGU did not result in any impairment charges for the year 
ended December , . 

A charge to operating profi t of EUR   million was record-
ed for the impairment of goodwill in our Location & Commerce 
business in the fourth quarter . The impairment loss was 
allocated in its entirety to the carrying amount of goodwill 
in the balance sheet of the Location & Commerce CGU. This 
impairment loss is presented as impairment of goodwill in the 
consolidated income statement. As a result of the impair-
ment loss, the amount of goodwill allocated to the Location 
& Commerce CGU has been reduced to EUR   million at 
December , . 

The impairment charge is the result of an evaluation of the 

projected fi nancial performance and net cash fl ows of the 
Location & Commerce CGU. The main drivers for manage-
ment’s net cash fl ow projections include license fees related 
to digital map data, fair value of the services sold within the 
Group and estimated average revenue per user with regard 
to mobile media advertising. The average revenue per user is 
estimated based on peer market data for mobile advertising 



revenue. Projected device sales volumes impact the overall 
forecasted intercompany and advertising revenues. This takes 
into consideration the market dynamics in digital map data 
and related location-based content markets, including the 
Group’s long-term view that the market will move from fee-
based models towards advertising-based models especially 
in some more mature markets. It also refl ects recently an-
nounced results and related competitive factors in local search 
and advertising market resulting in lower estimated growth 
prospects from location-based assets integrated with diff er-
ent advertising platforms. After consideration of all relevant 
factors, the Group reduced the net sales projections for the 
Location & Commerce CGU which, in turn, reduced projected 
profi tability and cash fl ows. 

The Group has concluded that the recoverable amount for 
the Location & Commerce CGU is most sensitive to the valua-
tion assumptions for discount rate and long-term growth rate. 
A reasonably possible increase in the discount rate or decrease 
in long-term growth rate would give rise to an additional mate-
rial impairment loss. 

The key assumptions applied in the impairment testing for 
each CGU in the annual goodwill impairment testing for each 
year indicated are presented in the table below:

a pre-tax value basis using pre-tax valuation assumptions 
including pre-tax cash fl ows and pre-tax discount rate. As mar-
ket-based rates of return for the Group’s CGUs are available 
only on a post-tax basis, the pre-tax discount rates are derived 
by adjusting the post-tax discount rates to refl ect the specifi c 
amount and timing of future tax cash fl ows. The discount rates 
applied in the impairment testing for each CGU have been de-
termined independently of capital structure refl ecting current 
assessments of the time value of money and relevant market 
risk premiums. Risk premiums included in the determination of 
the discount rate refl ect risks and uncertainties for which the 
future cash fl ow estimates have not been adjusted.

In , the Group recorded an impairment loss of EUR  

million to reduce the carrying amount of the Nokia Siemens 
Networks CGU to its recoverable amount. The impairment loss 
was allocated in its entirety to the carrying amount of goodwill 
arising from the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks and 
from subsequent acquisitions completed by Nokia Siemens 
Networks. As a result of the impairment loss, the amount of 
goodwill allocated to the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU in the 
year ended December , , was reduced to zero. Goodwill 
allocated to the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU has subsequent-
ly increased during , primarily as a result of the acquisition 
of Motorola Solutions’ Networks business. 

The goodwill impairment testing conducted for each of the 
Group’s CGUs for the year ended December ,  did not re-
sult in any impairment charges. See also Note  to our consoli-
dated fi nancial statements for further information regarding 
“Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill.” 

FAIR  VALUE  OF  DERIVATIVE S  AND 
OTHER  FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS 
The fair value of fi nancial instruments that are not traded 
in an active market (for example, unlisted equities, currency 
options and embedded derivatives) are determined using 
valuation techniques. We use judgment to select an appropri-
ate valuation methodology and underlying assumptions based 
principally on existing market conditions. If quoted market 
prices are not available for unlisted shares, fair value is esti-
mated by using various factors, including, but not limited to: 
() the current market value of similar instruments, () prices 
established from a recent arm’s length fi nancing transaction 
of the target companies, () analysis of market prospects and 
operating performance of the target companies taking into 
consideration of public market comparable companies in simi-
lar industry sectors. Changes in these assumptions may cause 
the Group to recognize impairments or losses in the future 
periods. During  the Group received distributions of EUR 
 million (EUR  million in ) included in other fi nancial 
income from a private fund held as non-current available-for-
sale. Due to a reduction in estimated future cash fl ows the 
Group also recognized an impairment loss of EUR  million 
(EUR  million in ) for the fund included in other fi nancial 
expenses. 

INCOME  TA XE S 
The Group is subject to income taxes both in Finland and in 
numerous other jurisdictions. Signifi cant judgment is required 
in determining income tax expense, tax provisions, deferred 
tax assets and liabilities recognized in the consolidated 
fi nancial statements. We recognize deferred tax assets to the 
extent that it is probable that suffi  cient taxable income will be 
available in the future against which the temporary diff erenc-
es and unused tax losses can be utilized. We have considered 
future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making 
this assessment. Deferred tax assets are assessed for realiz-
ability each reporting period, and when circumstances indicate 
that it is no longer probable that deferred tax assets will be 
utilized, they are adjusted as necessary. 

At December , , the Group had loss carry forwards, 
temporary diff erences and tax credits of EUR   million (EUR 
  million in ) for which no deferred tax assets were 
recognized in the consolidated fi nancial statements due to 
uncertainty of utilization of these items. 

We recognize tax provisions based on estimates and as-
sumptions when, despite our belief that tax return positions 
are supportable, it is more likely than not that certain posi-
tions will be challenged and may not be fully sustained upon 
review by tax authorities. 

If the fi nal outcome of these matters diff ers from the 
amounts initially recorded, diff erences may positively or 
negatively impact the current taxes and deferred taxes in the 
period in which such determination is made. 

PENSIONS 
The determination of our pension benefi t obligation and ex-
pense for defi ned benefi t pension plans is dependent on our 
selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculat-
ing such amounts. Those assumptions are described in Note  
to our consolidated fi nancial statements and include, among 
others, the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return 
on plan assets and annual rate of increase in future compen-
sation levels. A portion of our plan assets is invested in equity 
securities. The equity markets have experienced volatility, 
which has aff ected the value of our pension plan assets. This 
volatility may make it diffi  cult to estimate the long-term rate 
of return on plan assets. Actual results that diff er from our 
assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future

decrease adjusts the prior period compensation expense in 
the period of the review on a cumulative basis for unvested 
performance shares for which compensation expense has 
already been recognized in the profi t and loss account, and 
in subsequent periods for unvested performance shares for 
which the expense has not yet been recognized in the profi t 
and loss account. Signifi cant diff erences in employee option 
activity, equity market performance, and our projected and 
actual net sales and earnings per share performance may 
materially aff ect future expense. In addition, the value, if any, 
an employee ultimately receives from share-based payment 
awards may not correspond to the expense amounts recorded 
by the Group. 



periods and therefore generally aff ect our recognized expense 
and recorded obligation in such future periods. Our assump-
tions are based on actual historical experience and external 
data regarding compensation and discount rate trends. While 
we believe that our assumptions are appropriate, signifi cant 
diff erences in our actual experience or signifi cant changes in 
our assumptions may materially aff ect our pension obligation 
and our future expense. The fi nancial impact of the pension 
assumptions aff ects mainly the Devices & Services and Nokia 
Siemens Networks businesses. 

SHARE-BA SED  COMPENSATION 
We have various types of equity-settled share-based compen-
sation schemes for employees mainly in Devices & Services 
and Location & Commerce. Employee services received, and 
the corresponding increase in equity, are measured by refer-
ence to the fair value of the equity instruments as at the date 
of grant, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting 
conditions. Fair value of stock options is estimated by using 
the Black-Scholes model on the date of grant based on certain 
assumptions. Those assumptions are described in Note  
to our consolidated fi nancial statements and include, among 
others, the dividend yield, expected volatility and expected 
life of stock options. The expected life of stock options is esti-
mated by observing general option holder behavior and actual 
historical terms of Nokia stock option programs, whereas 
the assumption of the expected volatility has been set by 
reference to the implied volatility of stock options available 
on Nokia shares in the open market and in light of historical 
patterns of volatility. These variables make estimation of fair 
value of stock options diffi  cult. 

Non-market vesting conditions attached to the perfor-
mance shares are included in assumptions about the number 
of shares that the employee will ultimately receive relating to 
projections of sales and earnings per share. On a regular basis, 
we review the assumptions made and revise the estimates 
of the number of performance shares that are expected to 
be settled, where necessary. At the date of grant, the num-
ber of performance shares granted that are expected to be 
settled is assumed to be two times the amount at threshold. 
Any subsequent revisions to the estimates of the number 
of performance shares expected to be settled may increase 
or decrease total compensation expense. Such increase or

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

This Corporate Governance statement is prepared in accord-
ance with Chapter , Section  of the Finnish Securities Mar-
kets Act and the recommendation  of the Finnish Corporate 
Governance Code and is issued separately from the review by 
the Board of Directors. The review by the Board of Directors 
 is available on page  of the ‘Nokia in ’ publication.

REGUL ATORY  FR AME WORK
Nokia’s corporate governance practices comply with Finnish 
laws and regulations as well as with Nokia’s Articles of Associa-
tion. Nokia also complies with the Finnish Corporate Govern-
ance Code with the following two exceptions: 

Nokia is not in full compliance with the recommendation 

 of the Finnish Corporate Governance Code as Nokia’s 
Restricted Share Plans do not include any performance cri-
teria but are time-based only, with a restriction period of at 
least three years from the grant. However, restricted shares 
are granted only on a selective basis to promote long-term 
retention of functional mastery and other employees and 
executives deemed critical for the future success of Nokia, as 
well as to support attraction of promising external talent in a 
competitive environment in which Nokia’s peers, especially in 
the United States, commonly use such shares. The Restricted 
Share Plans also promote employee share ownership, and are 
used in conjunction with the Performance Share and Stock 
Option Plans. 

Further, in , Nokia did not fully comply with the recom-

mendation  of the Finnish Corporate Governance Code as 
Helge Lund, who was proposed for the fi rst time to the Board, 
was not able to attend the Annual General Meeting held on 
May , . However, there were well-founded reasons for his 
absence and all of the prospective directors proposed for the 
fi rst time to the Board, including Mr. Lund, were introduced to 
the shareholders via video messages. The Finnish Corporate 
Governance Code is accessible at www.cgfi nland.fi .

In addition, as a result of Nokia’s listing of its shares on 
the New York Stock Exchange and its registration under the 
US Securities Exchange Act of , Nokia must comply with 
the US federal securities laws and regulations, including the 
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of  as well as the requirements of 
the New York Stock Exchange, in particular the corporate 
governance rules under section A of the New York Stock 
Exchange Listed Company Manual, which is accessible at 
http://nysemanual.nyse.com/lcm/. Nokia complies with the 
above rules in each case to the extent that those provisions 
are applicable to foreign private issuers. Nokia also complies 
with any other mandatory corporate governance rules 
applicable due to listing of Nokia share in Helsinki and New York 
stock exchanges. In , Nokia decided to delist its shares 
from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, and the fi nal day of trading 
was March , . 

Nokia’s aim is to comply in all material respects with appli-
cable rules and regulations. To the extent any non-domestic 
rules and regulations would require a violation of the laws of 
Finland, Nokia is obliged to comply with the Finnish require-
ments. Nevertheless, Nokia aims to minimize the necessity for, 
or consequences of, confl icts between the laws of Finland and 
applicable non-domestic requirements.

MAIN  CORPOR ATE  GOVERNANCE  BODIE S 
OF  NOKIA
Pursuant to the provisions of the Finnish Companies Act and 
Nokia’s Articles of Association, the control and management of 
Nokia is divided among the shareholders at a General Meeting, 
the Board of Directors (the “Board”), the President and the 
Nokia Leadership Team chaired by the Chief Executive Offi  cer.

General Meeting of shareholders
The shareholders may exercise their decision-making power 
and their right to speak and ask questions at the General 
Meeting of shareholders. Each Nokia share entitles the share-
holder to one vote at General Meetings of Nokia. Pursuant to 
the Finnish Companies Act, an Annual General Meeting must 
be convened each year by June . The Annual General Meet-
ing decides, among other things, on the election and remu-
neration of the Board of Directors, on the election and fees of 
external auditor as well as on distribution of profi t. 

In addition to the Annual General Meeting, an Extraordinary 
General Meeting shall be convened when the Board considers 
such meeting to be necessary, or, when the provisions of the 
Finnish Companies Act mandate that such a meeting must be 
held. 

The Board of Directors
The operations of Nokia are managed under the direction 
of the Board of Directors, within the framework set by the 
Finnish Companies Act and Nokia’s Articles of Association as 
well as any complementary rules of procedure as defi ned by

related Board Committee charters. 

considerations of particular topics to be proposed for the ap-
proval of the Board. 

THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board represents and is accountable to the shareholders 
of Nokia. The Board’s responsibilities are active, not passive, 
and include the responsibility regularly to evaluate the strate-
gic direction of Nokia, management policies and the eff ective-
ness with which management implements them. The Board’s 
responsibilities also include overseeing the structure and 
composition of Nokia’s top management and monitoring legal 
compliance and the management of risks related to Nokia’s 
operations. In doing so, the Board may set annual ranges and/
or individual limits for capital expenditures, investments and 
divestitures and fi nancial commitments not to be exceeded 
without Board approval.

In risk management policies and processes the Board’s role 
includes risk analysis and assessment in connection with each 
fi nancial and business review, update and decision-making 
proposal. Risk oversight is an integral part of all Board deliber-
ations. For a more detailed description of Nokia’s risk manage-
ment policies and processes, please see the chapter “Main 
features of the internal control and risk management systems 
in relation to the fi nancial reporting process” below.

The Board has the responsibility for appointing and dis-

charging the Chief Executive Offi  cer, the Chief Financial Offi  cer 
and the other members of the Nokia Leadership Team. The 
Chief Executive Offi  cer, who is separate from Chairman, also 
acts as President, and his rights and responsibilities include 
those allotted to the President under Finnish law. Subject to 
the requirements of Finnish law, the independent directors 
of the Board confi rm the compensation and the employment 
conditions of the Chief Executive Offi  cer upon the recommen-
dation of the Personnel Committee. The compensation and 
employment conditions of the other members of the Nokia 
Leadership Team are approved by the Personnel Committee 
upon the recommendation of the Chief Executive Offi  cer. 

It is the responsibility of the members of the Board to act 

in good faith and with due care so as to exercise their busi-
ness judgment on an informed basis in what they reason-
ably and honestly believe to be in the best interests of the 
company and its shareholders. In discharging that obligation, 
the directors must inform themselves of all relevant informa-
tion reasonably available to them. The Board and each Board 
Committee also have the power to hire independent legal, 
fi nancial or other advisors as they deem necessary. 

The Board has three committees: Audit Committee, 
Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee and 
Personnel Committee. These assist the Board in its duties 
pursuant to their respective committee charters. The Board 
may also establish ad hoc committees for detailed reviews or 

The Board conducts annual performance self-evaluations, 
which also include evaluations of the Board Committees’ work, 
the results of which are discussed by the Board. In line with 
past years’ practice, in , the self-evaluation process con-
sisted of a questionnaire, a one-to-one discussion between 
the Chairman and each director and a discussion by the entire 
Board of the outcome of the evaluation, possible measures 
to be taken, as well as measures taken based on the Board’s 
self-evaluation of the previous year. In addition, performance 
of the Board Chairman was evaluated in a process led by the 
Vice Chairman. 

ELECTION, COMPOSITION AND MEETINGS OF 

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Pursuant to the Articles of Association, Nokia Corporation has 
a Board of Directors composed of a minimum of seven and 
a maximum of  members. The members of the Board are 
elected for a one-year term at each Annual General Meeting, 
i.e., as from the close of that Annual General Meeting until the 
close of the following Annual General Meeting, which convenes 
each year by June . The Annual General Meeting held on 
May ,  elected the following  members to the Board of 
Directors: Stephen Elop, Bengt Holmström, Henning Kager-
mann, Per Karlsson, Jouko Karvinen, Helge Lund, Isabel Marey-
Semper, Jorma Ollila, Dame Marjorie Scardino, Risto Siilasmaa 
and Kari Stadigh. 

Nokia Board’s leadership structure consists of a Chairman 

and Vice Chairman, elected annually by the Board and con-
fi rmed by the independent directors of the Board from 
among the Board members upon the recommendation of the 
Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee. On May , 
, the independent directors of the Board elected Jorma 
Ollila to continue as Chairman and Dame Marjorie Scardino 
to continue as Vice Chairman of the Board. The Chairman has 
certain specifi c duties as defi ned by Finnish standards and the 
Nokia Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Vice Chairman 
assumes the duties of the Chairman in case the Chairman is 
prevented from performing his duties. The Board has deter-
mined that Nokia Board Chairman, Jorma Ollila, and the Vice 
Chairman, Dame Marjorie Scardino, are independent as de-
fi ned by Finnish standards and relevant stock exchange rules. 
 Nokia does not have a policy concerning the combination 

or separation of the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive 
Offi  cer, but the Board leadership structure is dependent on 
the company needs, shareholder value and other relevant 
factors applicable from time to time, and respecting the high-
est corporate governance standards. In , the roles were 
separate and Jorma Ollila was the Chairman of the Board and 
the Chief Executive Offi  cer was Stephen Elop. 



N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 1

The current members of the Board are all non-executive, 
except the President and CEO, who is an executive member of 
the Board. The Board has determined that all ten non-exec-
utive Board members are independent as defi ned by Finnish 
standards. Also, the Board has determined that nine of the 
Board’s ten non-executive members are independent direc-
tors as defi ned by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. 
Bengt Holmström was determined not to be independent 
under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange due to a fam-
ily relationship with an executive offi  cer of a Nokia supplier 
whose consolidated gross revenue from Nokia accounts for an 
amount that exceeds the limit provided in the New York Stock 
Exchange corporate governance standards, but that is less 
than %. 

The Board held  meetings during , the majority of 

which were regularly scheduled meetings held in person, 
complemented by meetings through conference call and other 
means. In addition, in  the non-executive directors held a 
meeting without management in connection with each regu-
larly scheduled Board meeting. Also, the independent direc-
tors held one meeting separately in . 

Directors’ attendance at the Board meetings, including 
Committee meetings, but excluding meetings among the 
non-executive directors or independent directors only, was 
as follows in : 

In addition, many of the directors attended as non-voting 
observers meetings of a committee in which they were not a 
member. 

According to the Nokia Board practices, the non-executive 
directors meet without management in connection with each 
regularly scheduled meeting. Such sessions are chaired by the 
non-executive Chairman of the Board. If the non-executive 
Chairman of the Board is unable to chair any of the meetings 
of non-executive directors, the non-executive Vice Chairman 
of the Board chairs the meeting. 

In addition, the independent directors meet separately 
at least once annually. All the directors who served on the 
Board for the term until the close of the Annual General 
Meeting , except for Per Karlsson, attended Nokia’s Annual 
General Meeting held on May , . The Finnish Corporate 
Governance Code recommends attendance by the Board 
Chairman and a suffi  cient number of directors in the general 
meeting of shareholders to allow the shareholders to exercise 
their right to present questions to the Board and manage-
ment. Also all of the persons proposed for the fi rst time to the 
Board, except for Helge Lund, attended the Annual General 
Meeting held on May , , which elected them. The Finnish 
Corporate Governance Code recommends that a person 
proposed for the fi rst time as director shall participate in the 
general meeting that decides on his or her election in order to

posed for the fi rst time to the Board were introduced to the 
shareholders via video messages.

The independent directors of the Board confi rm the elec-
tion of the members and Chairmen for the Board’s commit-
tees from among the Board’s independent directors upon 
the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and 
Nomination Committee and based on each committee’s mem-
ber qualifi cation standards.

The Corporate Governance Guidelines concerning the 
directors’ responsibilities, the composition and selection of 
the Board, its committees and certain other matters relat-
ing to corporate governance are available on Nokia’s website, 
www.nokia.com/global/about-nokia. Also, the Committee 
Charters of the Audit Committee, Corporate Governance and 
Nomination Committee and Personnel Committee are avail-
able on Nokia’s website, www.nokia.com/global/about-nokia. 
Nokia also has a Code of Conduct which is equally applicable 
to all of Nokia’s employees, directors and management, and 
a Code of Ethics for the Principal Executive Offi  cers and the 
Senior Financial Offi  cers. Both the Code of Conduct and Code 
of Ethics are available on Nokia’s website, www.nokia.com/
global/about-nokia. 

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Audit Committee consists of a minimum of three mem-
bers of the Board who meet all applicable independence, 
fi nancial literacy and other requirements of Finnish law and 
the rules of the stock exchanges where Nokia shares are listed, 
i.e. NASDAQ OMX Helsinki and the New York Stock Exchange. 
Since May , , the Audit Committee consists of the follow-
ing three members of the Board: Risto Siilasmaa (Chairman), 
Jouko Karvinen and Isabel Marey-Semper. 

The Audit Committee is established by the Board primar-
ily for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and fi nancial 
reporting processes of the company and audits of the fi nancial 
statements of the company. The Committee is responsible for 
assisting the Board’s oversight of () the quality and integrity 
of the company’s fi nancial statements and related disclosure, 
() the statutory audit of the company’s fi nancial statements, 
() the external auditor’s qualifi cations and independence, 
() the performance of the external auditor subject to the 
requirements of Finnish law, () the performance of the com-
pany’s internal controls and risk management and assurance 
function, () the performance of the internal audit function, 
and () the company’s compliance with legal and regulatory 
requirements, including also the performance of its ethics and 
compliance program. The Committee also maintains proce-
dures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints 
received by the company regarding accounting, internal 
controls, or auditing matters and for the confi dential, anony-

mous submission by employees of the company of concerns 
regarding accounting or auditing matters. Nokia’s disclosure 
controls and procedures, which are reviewed by the Audit 
Committee and approved by the Chief Executive Offi  cer and 
the Chief Financial Offi  cer, as well as Nokia’s internal controls 
over fi nancial reporting, are designed to provide reasonable 
assurance regarding the quality and integrity of the company’s 
fi nancial statements and related disclosures. The Disclosure 
Committee chaired by the Chief Financial Offi  cer is respon-
sible for the preparation of the quarterly and annual results 
announcements, and the process includes involvement by 
business managers, business controllers and other functions, 
like internal audit, as well as a fi nal review and confi rmation by 
the Audit Committee and the Board. For further information 
on internal control over fi nancial reporting, see chapter “Main 
features of the internal control and risk management systems 
in relation to the fi nancial reporting process” below.

Under Finnish law, Nokia’s external auditor is elected by 
Nokia’s shareholders by a simple majority vote at the Annual 
General Meeting for one fi scal year at a time. The Audit 
Committee makes a proposal to the shareholders in respect of 
the appointment of the external auditor based upon its evalu-
ation of the qualifi cations and independence of the auditor 
to be proposed for election or re-election. Under Finnish law, 
the fees of the external auditor are also approved by Nokia’s 
shareholders by a simple majority vote at the Annual General 
Meeting. The Committee makes a proposal to the shareholders 
in respect of the fees of the external auditor, and approves the 
external auditor’s annual audit fees under the guidance given 
by the Annual General Meeting. For information about the fees 
paid to Nokia’s external auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, 
during  see “Auditor fees and services” on page .

In discharging its oversight role, the Audit Committee has 

full access to all company books, records, facilities and per-
sonnel. The Committee may retain counsel, auditors or other 
advisors in its sole discretion, and must receive appropriate 
funding, as determined by the Committee, from the company 
for the payment of compensation to such outside advisors. 

The Audit Committee meets at least four times a year based 
upon a schedule established at the fi rst meeting following the 
appointment of the Committee. The Committee meets sepa-
rately with the representatives of Nokia’s management, heads 
of the internal audit and ethics and compliance functions, and 
the external auditor in connection with each regularly sched-
uled meeting. The head of the internal audit function has at all

Under its Articles of Association, in addition to the Board of

sible for the operative management of Nokia. The Chairman

MAIN  FE ATURE S  OF  THE  INTERNAL  CONTROL 
AND  RISK  MANAGEMENT  SYSTEMS  IN  REL ATION 
TO  THE  FINANCIAL  REPORTING  PROCE SS 
Nokia has a Risk Policy which outlines Nokia’s risk manage-
ment policies and processes and is approved by the Audit 
Committee. The Board’s role in risk oversight includes risk

purchase cycle, treasury cycle, human resources cycle, ac-
counting and reporting cycle and IT cycle. Financial cycles 
have been designed to (i) give a complete end-to-end view 
to all fi nancial processes (ii) identify key control points  (iii) 
identify involved organizations, (iv) ensure coverage for 
important accounts and fi nancial statement assertions and 
(v) enable internal control management within Nokia. 

Further, the management also:

»  assessed the design of controls in place to mitigate the 

fi nancial reporting risks;

»  tested operating eff ectiveness of all key controls;

»  evaluated all noted defi ciencies in internal controls over 

fi nancial reporting  as of year-end; and

»  performed a quality review on assessment documentation 

and provided feedback for improvement.

Based on this evaluation, the management has assessed the 

eff ectiveness of Nokia’s internal control over fi nancial report-
ing, as at December , , and concluded that such internal 
control over fi nancial reporting is eff ective.

Nokia also has an internal audit function that acts as an 
independent appraisal function by examining and evaluating 
the adequacy and eff ectiveness of Nokia’s system of internal 
control.

Internal audit resides within the Chief Financial Offi  cer’s or-
ganization and reports to the Audit Committee of the Board of 
Directors. The head of internal audit function has at all times 
direct access to the Audit Committee, without involvement of 
the management.

analysis and assessment in connection with each fi nancial and 
business review, update and decision-making proposal and is 
an integral part of all Board deliberations. The Audit Commit-
tee is responsible for, among other matters, the risk manage-
ment relating to the fi nancial reporting process and assisting 
the Board’s oversight of the risk management function. Nokia 
applies a common and systematic approach to the risk man-
agement across all business operations and processes based 
on a strategy approved by the Board. Accordingly, the risk 
management at Nokia is not a separate process but a normal 
daily business and management practice. 

The management is responsible for establishing and 

maintaining adequate internal control over fi nancial reporting 
for Nokia. Nokia’s internal control over fi nancial reporting is 
designed to provide reasonable assurance to the management 
and the Board of Directors regarding the reliability of fi nancial 
reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of pub-
lished fi nancial statements. 

The management conducts a yearly assessment of Nokia’s 

internal controls over fi nancial reporting in accordance with 
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) frame-
work and the Control Objectives for Information and related 
Technology (CoBiT) of internal controls. For the year , the 
assessment was performed based on a top down risk as-
sessment of Nokia’s fi nancial statements covering signifi cant 
accounts, processes and locations, corporate level controls, 
control activities and information systems’ general controls. 

As part of its assessment the management documented:

»  The corporate-level controls, which create the “tone from 
the top” containing Nokia values and Code of Conduct and 
provide discipline and structure to the decision making and 
ways of working. Selected items from Nokia’s operational 
mode and governance principles are separately document-
ed as corporate level controls. 

»  The control activities, which consist of policies and proce-
dures to ensure the management’s directives are carried 
out and the related documentation is stored according to 
Nokia’s document retention practices and local statutory 
requirements. 

»  The information systems’ general controls to ensure that 
suffi  cient information technology general controls, includ-
ing change management, system development, computer 
operations as well as access and authorizations, are in place.

»  The signifi cant processes, including six fi nancial cycles and 
underlying IT cycle identifi ed by Nokia to address control 
activities implementing a top down risk based approach. 
These cycles include revenue cycle, delivery cycle, indirect

COMPENSATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 
AND THE NOKIA LEADERSHIP TEAM

The remuneration of the Board of Directors is set annu-
ally by our Annual General Meeting by a resolution of a simple 
majority of the shareholders’ votes represented at the meet-
ing, upon the proposal of the Corporate Governance and 
Nomination Committee of the Board of Directors. The remu-
neration is set for the period as from the respective Annual 
General Meeting until the close of the next Annual General 
Meeting. 

When preparing the proposal for the Board remuneration 
for the shareholders’ approval in the Annual General Meeting, 
it is the policy of the Corporate Governance and Nomination 
Committee to review and compare the remuneration levels 
and their criteria paid in other global companies with net sales 
and business complexity comparable to that of Nokia. The 
Committee’s aim is to ensure that Nokia has an effi  cient Board 
of international professionals representing a diverse mix of 
skills and experience. A competitive Board remuneration con-
tributes to the achievement of this target. 

Remuneration of the Board of Directors in 2011 
For the year ended December , , the aggregate amount 
of remuneration paid to the members of the Board of Direc-
tors for their services as members of the Board and its com-
mittees was EUR   . 

The following table sets forth the total annual remunera-
tion paid to the members of the Board of Directors in , as 
resolved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting 
on May , . For information with respect to the Nokia 
shares and equity awards held by the members of the Board 
of Directors, please see “Share Ownership of the Board of 
Directors” on page .

BOARD  OF  DIREC TOR S

  The changes in the aggregate amount of Board pay from year to year are 
due to changes in the number of Board members and changes in commit-
tee composition. The amount of fees paid to the Board and Committee 
members for the services rendered remained the same. The President 
and CEO Stephen Elop did not receive remuneration for his service as a 
member of the Board in . 

  The aggregate amount of Board pay also includes the remuneration paid 
to the former President and CEO in his capacity as a member of the Board 
of Directors, but in that capacity only. 

It is Nokia’s policy that director remuneration consists of an 

annual fee only and no fees are paid for meeting attendance. 
Approximately % of director compensation is paid in the 
form of Nokia shares that are purchased from the market. It 
is also Nokia’s policy that the Board members retain all Nokia 
shares received as director compensation until the end of their 
board membership (except for those shares needed to off  set 
any costs relating to the acquisition of the shares, includ-
ing taxes). In addition, it is Nokia’s policy that non-executive 
members of the Board do not participate in any of Nokia’s 
equity programs and do not receive stock options, perfor-
mance shares, restricted shares or any other equity-based 
or otherwise variable compensation for their duties as Board 
members. 

 The President and CEO did not receive compensation for his 
duties as a member of the Board of Directors in . The total 
compensation of the President and CEO is described below in 
“Summary Compensation Table ” on page .

Proposal by the Corporate Governance 
and Nomination Committee for remuneration
to the Board of Directors in 2012
On January , , the Corporate Governance and Nomina-
tion Committee of the Board announced its proposal to the 
Annual General Meeting convening on May ,  regard-
ing the remuneration to the Board of Directors in . The 
Committee will propose that the annual fee payable to the 
Board members elected at the same meeting for a term until 
the close of the Annual General Meeting in , remain at 
the same level as during the past four years and be as fol-
lows: EUR   for the Chairman, EUR   for the Vice 
Chairman and EUR   for each member (excluding the 
President and CEO of Nokia if elected to the Nokia Board); for 
the Chairman of the Audit Committee and the Chairman of the 
Personnel Committee an additional annual fee of EUR  , 
and for each member of the Audit Committee an additional 
annual fee of EUR  . Further, the Corporate Governance 
and Nomination Committee will propose that, as in the past, 
approximately  percent of the remuneration be paid in 
Nokia shares purchased from the market, which shares shall 
be retained until the end of the board membership in line with 
the Nokia policy (except for those shares needed to off  set any 
costs relating to the acquisition of the shares, including taxes). 

E XECUTIVE  COMPENSATION 

Executive compensation philosophy, programs 
and decision-making process 
The basic principles of our executive compensation philosophy 
are to attract, retain and motivate talented executive offi  cers 
on a global basis with the right mix of skills and capabilities 
to drive Nokia’s success in an extremely complex and rapidly 
evolving mobile communications industry. As a result, we have 
developed an overall compensation framework that provides 
competitive base pay rates combined with short- and long-
term incentives that are intended to result in a competitive 
total compensation package. 

Our executive compensation programs have been designed 
to enable Nokia to eff ectively execute our strategy announced 
in early . Specifi cally, our programs are designed to: 

»  incorporate specifi c measures that align directly with the 

execution of our new strategy over the next year; 

»  deliver an appropriate amount of performance-related vari-
able compensation for the achievement of strategic goals 
and fi nancial targets in both the short- and long-term; 

»  appropriately balance rewards between both Nokia’s and an 

individual’s performance; and

»  foster an ownership culture that promotes sustainability 

and long-term value creation and align the interests of the 
executive offi  cers with those of the shareholders through 
long-term equity-based incentives. 

The competitiveness of Nokia’s executive compensation 
levels and practices is one of several key factors the Personnel 
Committee of the Board considers in its determination of 
compensation for Nokia executive offi  cers. The Personnel 
Committee compares, on an annual basis, Nokia’s compensa-
tion practices, base salaries and total compensation, including 
short- and long-term incentives against those of other rel-
evant companies with the same or similar revenue, size, global 
reach and complexity that we believe we compete against for 
executive talent. The relevant sample includes companies in 
high technology, telecommunications and Internet services 
industries, as well as companies from other industries that 
are headquartered in Europe and the United States. The 
peer group is determined by the Personnel Committee and 
reviewed for appropriateness from time to time as deemed 
necessary due to such factors as changes in the business 
environment or industry. 

The Personnel Committee retains and uses an external 
compensation consultant from Mercer Human Resources to 
obtain benchmark data and information on current market 
trends. The consultant works directly for the Chairman of the 
Personnel Committee and meets annually with the Personnel 
Committee, without management present, to provide an 
assessment of the competitiveness and appropriateness 
of Nokia’s executive pay levels and programs. Management 
provides the consultant with information regarding Nokia’s 
programs and compensation levels in preparation for meet-
ing with the Committee. The consultant of Mercer Human 
Resources that works for the Personnel Committee is in-
dependent of Nokia and does not have any other business 
relationships with Nokia. 

The Personnel Committee reviews the executive offi  cers’ 
compensation on an annual basis, and from time to time dur-
ing the year when special needs arise. Without management 
present, the Personnel Committee reviews and recommends 
to the Board the corporate goals and objectives relevant to 
the compensation of the President and CEO, evaluates the 
performance of the President and CEO in light of those goals 
and objectives, and proposes to the Board the compensa-

tion level of the President and CEO. All compensation for the 
President and CEO, including long-term equity incentives, is 
approved by the Board and is confi rmed by the independent 
members of the Board. Management’s role is to provide any 
information requested by the Personnel Committee to assist 
in their deliberations. 

In addition, upon recommendation of the President and 
CEO, the Personnel Committee approves all compensation for 
all the members of the Nokia Leadership Team (other than the 
President and CEO of Nokia) and other executive level direct 
reports to the President and CEO, including long-term equity 
incentives and goals and objectives relevant to compensa-
tion. The Personnel Committee also reviews the results of the 
evaluation of the performance of the Nokia Leadership Team 
members (excluding the President and CEO) and other execu-
tive level direct reports to the President and CEO and approves 
their incentive compensation based on such evaluation. 

The Personnel Committee considers the following factors, 
among others, in its review when determining the compensa-
tion of Nokia’s executive offi  cers or recommending the com-
pensation of the President and CEO to the Board: 

»  the compensation levels for similar positions (in terms of 
scope of position, revenues, number of employees, global 
responsibility and reporting relationships) in relevant com-
parison companies; 

»  the performance demonstrated by the executive offi  cer 

during the last year; 

»  the size and impact of the particular offi  cer’s role on Nokia’s 

overall performance and strategic direction; 

»  the internal comparison to the compensation levels of the 

other executive offi  cers of Nokia; 

»  past experience and tenure in role; and 

»  the potential and expected future contributions of the 

executive. 

The above factors are assessed by the Personnel 

Committee in totality. 

Nokia’s management performed an internal risk assess-
ment of Nokia’s compensation policies and practices for all its 
employees specifi cally to understand any potential risk factors 
that would be associated with the changes made to Nokia’s 



assessing an executive’s performance. The measures to be 
included in the scorecard for each executive and the specifi c 
targets require the Personnel Committee’s approval with re-
spect to the members of the Nokia Leadership Team, and the 
Board’s approval with respect to the President and CEO. 

The following table refl ects the measurement criteria that 

are established for the President and CEO and members of 
the Nokia Leadership Team and the relative weighting of each 
component for the year . The short-term incentive payout 
is based on performance relative to targets set for each meas-
urement criteria listed in the table and includes a comparison 
of each executive offi  cer’s individual performance to his/her 
predefi ned scorecard objectives and targets. 

compensation programs in  in alignment to our new strat-
egy. Management assessed such factors as Nokia’s proportion 
of fi xed compensation in relation to variable compensation, 
the caps on incentive compensation that can be earned under 
our plans, performance metrics tied to the incentive programs 
and the time horizon over which variable compensation may 
be earned, as well as Nokia’s share ownership, severance and 
recoupment policies and our overall governance structure and 
practices. Based on the assessment, management concluded 
that there are no risks arising from Nokia’s compensation 
programs, policies and practices or the changes implemented 
that are likely to have a material adverse eff ect on Nokia. 
The fi ndings of the analysis were reported to the Personnel 
Committee. 

COMPONENTS  OF  E XECUTIVE  COMPENSATION 
Our compensation program for executive offi  cers includes 
annual cash compensation in the form of a base salary and 
short-term cash incentives as well as long-term equity-based 
incentive awards in the form of performance shares, stock op-
tions and restricted shares. 

Annual cash compensation 
Base salaries are targeted at globally competitive market 
levels. The Personnel Committee evaluates and weighs as a 
whole the appropriate salary levels based on both our US and 
European peer companies. 

Short-term cash incentives are an important element of 
our variable pay programs and are tied directly to Nokia’s and 
the individual executives’ performance. The short-term cash 
incentive opportunity is expressed as a percentage of each ex-
ecutive offi  cer’s annual base salary. These award opportunities 
and measurement criteria are presented in the table below. 
Short-term incentives are determined for each executive 

based on their performance as measured on an individual 
scorecard. Measurement criteria for the scorecard include 
a common set of objectives and targets shared by all Nokia 
Leadership Team members related to the change in strategy, 
individual strategic objectives for each executive offi  cer and 
Business Unit-specifi c key operative targets which consist of 
key fi nancial targets, key delivery milestones (products and 
services) and other key performance indicators such as quality 
and customer satisfaction. A broad range of sustainability and 
competitive factors are also taken into consideration when

Such strategic objectives may include, but are not limited to, Nokia’s prod-
uct and service portfolio, consumer relationships, developer ecosystem, 
partnerships and other strategic assets. 

additional % total shareholder return element. For Stephen Elop, Total 
Shareholder Return is measured in the one-time special CEO incentive 
program approved by the Board of Directors for the two-year period 
–. 

  Total shareholder return reflects the change in Nokia’s share price during 
an established time period, including the amount of dividends paid, di-
vided by Nokia’s share price at the beginning of the period. The calculation 
is conducted in the same manner for each company in the peer group. 

When determining the fi nal incentive payout, the Personnel 

Committee determines an overall score for each executive 
based on the evaluation (including both qualitative and quan-
titative scores) of the individual scorecard. The fi nal incentive 
payout is determined by multiplying each executive’s eligible 
salary by: (i) his/her incentive target percentage; and (ii) the 
score resulting from scorecard evaluation above. The result-
ing score for each executive is then multiplied by an “aff ord-
ability factor”, which is determined based on overall net sales, 
profi tability and cash fl ow management of Nokia and which is 
applicable in a similar manner to all Nokia employees within the 

short-term cash incentive program. The Personnel Committee 
applies discretion when evaluating actual results against 
targets and the resulting incentive payouts. In certain excep-
tional situations, the actual short-term cash incentive awarded 
to the executive offi  cer could be zero. The maximum payout is 
only possible with maximum performance on all measures. 
In , the portion of the short-term cash incentive that 
is tied to the predefi ned individual scorecard was paid twice a 
year based on the performance for Nokia’s short-term plans 
that ended on June  and December , . The portion of 
the short-term cash incentive that is tied to Total Shareholder

Return is paid annually at the end of the year to eligible Nokia 
Leadership Team members. The payment is based on the 
Personnel Committee’s assessment of Nokia’s total share-
holder return compared to key peer group companies that are 
selected by the Personnel Committee in the high technology, 
Internet services and telecommunications industries and rel-
evant market indices over one-, three- and fi ve-year periods.

 For more information on the actual cash compensation paid 
in  to our executive offi  cers, see “Summary compensation 
table ” on page .

Long-term equity-based incentives 
Long-term equity-based incentive awards in the form of 
performance shares, stock options and restricted shares are 
used to align executive offi  cers’ interests with shareholders’ 
interests, reward for long-term fi nancial performance and en-
courage retention, while also considering evolving regulatory 
requirements and recommendations and changing economic 
conditions. These awards are determined on the basis of the 
factors discussed above in “Executive Compensation Philoso-
phy, Programs and Decision-making Process,” including a com-
parison of an executive offi  cer’s overall compensation with 
that of other executives in the relevant market and the impact 
on the competitiveness of the executive’s compensation 
package in that market. Performance shares are Nokia’s main 
vehicle for long-term equity-based incentives and reward the 
achievement of both Nokia’s long-term fi nancial results and 
an increase in share price. Performance shares vest as shares, 
if at least one of the pre-determined threshold performance 
levels, tied to Nokia’s fi nancial performance, is achieved by 
the end of the performance period and the value that the 
executive receives is dependent on Nokia’s share price. Stock 
options are granted with the purpose of creating value for the 
executive offi  cer, once vested, only if the Nokia share price 
at the time of vesting is higher than the exercise price of the 
stock option established at grant. This is also intended to 
focus executives on share price appreciation and thus aligning 
the interests of the executives with those of the shareholders. 
Restricted shares are used primarily for long-term retention 
purposes and they vest fully after the close of a pre-deter-
mined restriction period. Any shares granted are subject to 
the share ownership guidelines as explained below. All of these 
equity-based incentive awards are generally forfeited if the 
executive leaves Nokia prior to their vesting. 

Recoupment of certain equity gains 
The Board of Directors has approved a policy allowing for 
the recoupment of equity gains realized by Nokia Leader-
ship Team members under Nokia equity plans in case of a 
fi nancial restatement caused by an act of fraud or intentional 
misconduct. This policy applies to equity grants made to Nokia 
Leadership Team members after January , . 

Information on the actual equity-based incentives granted 

to the members of our Nokia Leadership Team in  is 
included in “Stock option ownership of the Nokia Leadership 
Team” on page  and “Performance shares and restricted 
shares of the Nokia Leadership Team” on page  .

AC TUAL  E XECUTIVE  COMPENSATION  FOR  2011 

Service contracts 
Stephen Elop’s service contract covers his position as Presi-
dent and CEO as from September , . As at December 
, , Mr. Elop’s annual base salary, which is subject to an 
annual review by the Board of Directors and confi rmation by 
the independent members of the Board, is EUR   . His 
incentive targets under the Nokia short-term cash incen-
tive plan are % of annual base salary as at December , 
 (description of a separate plan approved by the Board 
of Directors for - is below). Mr. Elop is entitled to the 
customary benefi ts in line with our policies applicable to the 
top management, however, some of them are being provided 
on a tax assisted basis. Mr. Elop is also eligible to participate 
in Nokia’s long-term equity-based compensation programs 
according to Nokia policies and guidelines and as determined 
by the Board of Directors. 

In case of termination by Nokia for reasons other than 
cause, Mr. Elop is entitled to a severance payment of up to  
months of compensation (both annual base salary and target 
incentive) and his equity will be forfeited as determined in the 
applicable equity plan rules, with the exception of the equity 
out of the Nokia Equity Program  which will vest in an ac-
celerated manner. In case of termination by Mr. Elop, the notice 
period is six months and he is entitled to a payment for such 
notice period (both annual base salary and target incentive for 
six months) and all his equity will be forfeited. In the event of a 
change of control of Nokia, Mr. Elop may terminate his employ-
ment upon a material reduction of his duties and responsibili-
ties, upon which he will be entitled to a compensation of  



N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 1

months (both annual base salary and target incentive), and 
his unvested equity will vest in an accelerated manner. In case 
of termination by Nokia for cause, Mr. Elop is entitled to no 
additional compensation and all his equity will be forfeited. 
In case of termination by Mr. Elop for cause, he is entitled to a 
severance payment equivalent to  months of notice (both 
annual base salary and target incentive), and his unvested 
equity will vest in an accelerated manner. Mr. Elop is subject to 
a -month non-competition obligation after termination of 
the contract. Unless the contract is terminated by Nokia for 
cause, Mr. Elop may be entitled to compensation during the 
non-competition period or a part of it. Such compensation 
amounts to the annual base salary and target incentive for the 
respective period during which no severance payment is paid. 
The Board of Directors decided in March  that in order 
to align Stephen Elop’s compensation to the successful execu-
tion of the new strategy announced on February , , his 
compensation structure for  and  would be modifi ed. 
This one-time special CEO incentive program is designed to 
align Mr. Elop’s compensation to increased shareholder value 
and links a meaningful portion of his compensation directly 
to the performance of Nokia’s share price over the period of 
–. To participate in this program, Mr. Elop invested 
a portion of his short-term cash incentive opportunity and a 
portion of the value of his expected annual equity grants into 
the program as follows: 

•  His target short-term cash incentive level is reduced from 

% to % and 

•  His equity grants are reduced to a level below the 

competitive market value. 

In consideration, Mr. Elop has the opportunity to earn a 

number of Nokia shares at the end of  based on two 
independent criteria, with half of the opportunity tied to each 
criterion: 

  Total Shareholder Return (TSR) relative to a peer group of 
companies over the two-year period from December , 
 until December , : Minimum payout will require 
performance at the th percentile of the peer group and 
the maximum payout will occur if the rank is among the top 
three of the peer group. The peer group consists of a num-
ber of relevant companies in the high technology/mobility, 
telecommunications and Internet services industries. 

  Nokia’s absolute share price at the end of : Minimum 
payout if the Nokia share price is EUR , with maximum 
payout if the Nokia share price is EUR . 

Nokia share price under both criteria is calculated as a -
day trade volume weighted average share price on the NASDAQ 
OMX Helsinki. If the minimum performance for neither of the 
two performance criterion is reached, no share delivery will 
take place. If the minimum level for one of the criterion is met, 
a total of   Nokia ordinary shares will be delivered to 
Mr. Elop. At maximum level for both criteria, a total of   
Nokia ordinary shares will be delivered to him. Shares earned 
under this plan during – will be subject to an addition-
al one-year vesting period until the fi rst quarter , at which 
point the earned and vested shares will be delivered to Mr. 
Elop. The number of shares earned and to be settled may be 
adjusted by the Board of Directors under certain exceptional 
circumstances. Until the shares are settled, no shareholder 
rights, such as voting or dividend rights, associated with the 
shares would be applicable. No shares will be delivered if Mr. 
Elop resigns without cause or is terminated for cause by Nokia 
before the settlement. 

For information about the compensation and benefi ts 

received by Mr. Elop during , see “Summary compensation 
table ” on page  and “Equity grants in ” on page .

Pension arrangements for the members 
of the Nokia Leadership Team 
The members of the Nokia Leadership Team participate in 
the local retirement programs applicable to employees in the 
country where they reside. Executives in Finland, including 
Mr. Elop, participate in the Finnish TyEL pension system, which 
provides for a retirement benefi t based on years of service 
and earnings according to prescribed statutory rules. Under 
the Finnish TyEL pension system, base pay, incentives and 
other taxable fringe benefi ts are included in the defi nition 
of earnings, although gains realized from equity are not. The 
Finnish TyEL pension scheme provides for early retirement 
benefi ts at age  with a reduction in the amount of retire-
ment benefi ts. Standard retirement benefi ts are available 
from age  to , according to an increasing scale.

  The positions set forth in this table are the current positions of the 

named executives. Mr. Ojanperä served as Executive Vice President, Ser-
vices and Developer Experience until September ,  and Mr. Green 
served as Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer from 
February ,  until September , . 

  Bonus payments are part of Nokia’s short-term cash incentives. The 

amount consists of the annual cash bonus earned and paid or payable by 
Nokia for the respective fiscal year. 

  Amounts shown represent the grant date fair value of equity grants 

awarded for the respective fiscal year. The fair value of stock options 
equals the estimated fair value on the grant date, calculated using the 
Black-Scholes model. The fair value of performance shares and restricted 
shares equals the estimated fair value on grant date. The estimated fair 
value is based on the grant date market price of a Nokia share, less the 
present value of dividends expected to be paid during the vesting period. 
The value of the performance shares is presented on the basis of granted 
number of shares, which is two times the number of shares at thresh-
old. The value of the stock awards with performance shares valued at 
maximum (four times the number of shares at threshold), for each of the 
named executive officers, is as follows: Mr. Elop EUR   , Mr. Ihamuo-
tila EUR  , Ms. McDowell EUR  , Ms. DeVard EUR  , Mr. 
Savander EUR  , Mr. Ojanperä EUR   and Mr. Green EUR  
. 

  The value of stock awards for Mr. Elop includes EUR    as the 

fair value of the one-time special CEO incentive program based on the 
estimated fair value on the grant date. It was calculated using the Black-
Scholes model, taking into consideration the two performance criteria, 
Nokia’s share price on an absolute and relative basis to a peer group, 
as defined by the incentive program rules. Based on the stock price at 
December , , the actual value of this award would be zero. 

  The change in pension value represents the proportionate change in the 

liability related to the individual executives. These executives are covered 
by the Finnish State employees’ pension act (“TyEL”) that provides for a 
retirement benefit based on years of service and earnings according to 
the prescribed statutory system. The TyEL system is a partly funded and 
a partly pooled “pay as you go” system. Effective March , , Nokia 
transferred its TyEL pension liability and assets to an external Finnish 
insurance company and no longer carries the liability on its financial 
statements. The figures shown represent only the change in liability for 
the funded portion. The method used to derive the actuarial IFRS valua-
tion is based upon available salary information at the respective year end. 
Actuarial assumptions including salary increases and inflation have been 
determined to arrive at the valuation at the respective year end. 

  All other compensation for Mr. Elop in  includes: final one-time pay-
ment of EUR    as compensation for lost income from his prior 
employer which resulted due to his move to Nokia and EUR   taxable 
benefit for premiums paid under supplemental medical and disability 
insurance and for mobile phone and driver. 

  All other compensation for Mr. Ihamuotila in  includes: EUR   for 
car allowance and EUR   taxable benefit for premiums paid under 
supplemental medical and disability insurance and for mobile phone and 
driver. 

  Salaries, benefits and perquisites for Ms. McDowell and Ms. DeVard were 
paid and denominated in GBP and USD. Amounts were converted using 
year-end  USD/EUR exchange rate of . and GPB/EUR rate of .. 
For year  disclosure, amounts were converted using year-end  
USD/EUR exchange rate of .. For year  disclosure, amounts were 
converted using year-end  USD/EUR exchange rate of .. 

  Ms. McDowell, Ms. DeVard and Mr. Green participated in Nokia’s U.S Retire-
ment Savings and Investment Plan. Under this (k) plan, participants 
elect to make voluntary pre-tax contributions that are % matched by 
Nokia up to % of eligible earnings. % of the employer’s match vests for 
the participants during each of the first four years of their employment. 
Participants earning in excess of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) eligible 
earning limits may participate in the Nokia Restoration and Deferral Plan, 
which allows employees to defer up to % of their salary and % of 
their short-term cash incentive. Contributions to the Restoration and 
Deferral Plan are matched % up to % of eligible earnings, less contri-
butions made to the (k) plan. The company’s contributions to the plan 
are included under “All Other Compensation” column and noted hereafter. 

  All other compensation for Ms. McDowell in  includes: EUR   
provided under Nokia’s international assignment policy in the UK, EUR 
  for car allowance and EUR   company contributions to the 
(k) Plan. 

  All other compensation for Ms. DeVard in  includes: EUR   pro-

vided under Nokia’s international assignment policy in the UK, EUR   
for car allowance, EUR   company contributions to the (k) Plan 
and EUR   accrued US-related benefits. 

  All other compensation for Mr. Savander in  includes: EUR   for 
car allowance and EUR   taxable benefit for premiums paid under 
supplemental medical and disability insurance and for mobile phone and 
driver. 

  All other compensation for Mr. Ojanperä in  includes: EUR    
for severance compensation, EUR   taxable benefit for premiums 
paid under supplemental medical and disability insurance and for mobile 
phone and driver, EUR  for medical-related benefits and EUR  for

Including all equity awards made during . Awards were made under 
the Nokia Stock Option Plan , the Nokia Performance Share Plan  
and the Nokia Restricted Share Plan . The table includes also the 
award made under the one-time special CEO incentive program. 

  The fair value of stock options equals the estimated fair value on the 

grant date, calculated using the Black-Scholes model. The stock option ex-
ercise price was EUR . on May ,  and EUR . on August , . 
NASDAQ OMX Helsinki closing market price was EUR . at grant date on 
May ,  and EUR . on August , . 

  The fair value of performance shares and restricted shares equals the 

estimated fair value on grant date. The estimated fair value is based on 
the grant date market price of the Nokia share less the present value of 
dividends expected to be paid during the vesting period. The value of per-
formance shares is presented on the basis of a number of shares, which is 
two times the number at threshold. 

  Represents the threshold and maximum number of shares under the one-

time special CEO incentive program granted on March , . 

  The fair value of the one-time special CEO incentive program equals the 

estimated fair value on the grant date, calculated using the Black-Scholes 
model and taking into consideration the two performance criteria, Nokia’s 
share price both on an absolute basis and relative to a peer group, as 
defined by the incentive program rules. NASDAQ OMX Helsinki closing 
market price at grant date on March ,  was EUR .. 

  Mr. Green’s and Mr. Ojanperä’s equity grants were forfeited and cancelled 
upon their respective terminations of employment in accordance with 
plan rules. 

For information with respect to the Nokia shares and equity 

awards held by the members of the Nokia Leadership Team 
as at December , , please see “Share ownership of the 
Nokia Leadership Team” on page . 

EQUIT Y-BA SED  INCENTIVE  PROGR AMS 

General 
During the year ended December , , we administered 
three global stock option plans, four global performance share 
plans and four global restricted share plans. Both executives 
and employees participate in these plans. Our compensation 
programs promote long-term value creation and sustain-
ability of the company and ensure that remuneration is based 
on performance. Performance shares have been the main 

element of the company’s broad-based equity compensation 
program to further emphasize the performance element in 
employees’ long-term incentives. For managers and em-
ployees in higher job levels we employ a portfolio approach 
designed to build an optimal and balanced combination of 
long-term equity-based incentives, by granting both perfor-
mance shares and stock options. We believe using both equity 
instruments help focus recipients on long term fi nancial per-
formance as well as on share price appreciation, thus aligning 
recipients’ interests with those of shareholders’ and pro-
moting the long-term fi nancial success of the company. The 
equity-based compensation programs are intended to align 
the potential value received by participants directly with the 
performance of Nokia. We have also granted restricted shares 
to a small selected number of key employees considered key 
talent whose retention or recruitment is vital to the future 
success of Nokia. 

The equity-based incentive grants are generally conditioned 

upon continued employment with Nokia, as well as the fulfi ll-
ment of performance and other conditions, as determined in 
the relevant plan rules. 

The equity program for , which was approved by the 
Board of Directors, followed the structure of the program in 
. The participant group for the  equity-based in-
centive program continued to be broad, with a wide number 
of employees in many levels of the organization eligible to 
participate. As at December , , the aggregate number 
of participants in all of our active equity-based programs was 
approximately   compared with approximately   as at 
December ,  refl ecting changes in our grant guidelines 
and reduction in eligible population. 

For a more detailed description of all of our equity-based 
incentive plans, see Note  to Nokia’s consolidated fi nancial 
statements on page .

Performance shares 
During , we administered four global performance share 
plans, the Performance Share Plans of , ,  and 
, each of which, including its terms and conditions, has 
been approved by the Board of Directors. 

The performance shares represent a commitment by Nokia 
Corporation to deliver Nokia shares to employees at a future 
point in time, subject to Nokia’s fulfi llment of pre-defi ned 
performance criteria. No performance shares will vest un-
less the Group’s performance reaches at least one of the 
threshold levels measured by two independent, pre-defi ned 
performance criteria: the Group’s average annual net sales 
growth for the performance period of the plan and, in the 
Performance Share Plans of ,  and  earnings per 
share (“EPS”) at the end of the performance period and in the 
Performance Share Plan  average annual EPS. 

The , ,  and  plans have a three-year 
performance period with no interim payout. The shares vest 
after the respective performance period. The shares will be 
delivered to the participants as soon as practicable after they 
vest. The below table summarizes the relevant periods and 
settlements under the plans.

  No Nokia shares were delivered under Nokia Performance Share Plans 

 and  as Nokia’s performance did not reach the threshold level of 
either performance criteria under both plans.

Until the Nokia shares are delivered, the participants will not 
have any shareholder rights, such as voting or dividend rights, 
associated with the performance shares. The performance 
share grants are generally forfeited if the employment rela-
tionship terminates with Nokia prior to vesting. 

Performance share grants to the CEO are made upon 

recommendation by the Personnel Committee and approved 
by the Board of Directors and confi rmed by the independ-
ent directors of the Board. Performance share grants to 
the other Nokia Leadership Team members and other direct 
reports of the CEO are approved by the Personnel Committee. 
Performance share grants to eligible employees are approved 

by the CEO on a quarterly basis, based on an authorization 
given by the Board of Directors. 

Stock options 
During  we administered three global stock option plans, 
the Stock Option Plan ,  and , each of which, 
including its terms and conditions, has been approved by 
the Annual General Meeting in the year when the plan was 
launched. 

Each stock option entitles the holder to subscribe for one 

new Nokia share. The stock options are non-transferable 
and may be exercised for shares only. All of the stock options 
granted under the Stock Option Plans  and  have a 
vesting schedule with % of the options vesting one year af-
ter grant and .% each quarter thereafter. The stock options 
granted under the  and  plans have a term of approx-
imately fi ve years. The stock options granted under the Stock 
Option Plan  have a vesting schedule with % of stock 
options vesting three years after grant date and the remaining 
% vesting four years from grant. The stock options granted 
under the  plan have a term of approximately six years. 
 The exercise price of the stock options is determined at 
the time of grant, on a quarterly basis, in accordance with 
a pre-agreed schedule after the release of Nokia’s periodic 
fi nancial results. The exercise prices are based on the trade 
volume weighted average price of a Nokia share on NASDAQ 
OMX Helsinki during the trading days of the fi rst whole week 
of the second month of the respective calendar quarter (i.e., 
February, May, August or November). With respect to the  
Stock Option Plan, should an ex-dividend date take place dur-
ing that week, the exercise price shall be determined based on 
the following week’s trade volume weighted average price of 
the Nokia share on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki. Exercise prices are 
determined on a one-week weighted average to mitigate any 
day-specifi c fl uctuations in Nokia’s share price. The determi-
nation of exercise price is defi ned in the terms and conditions 
of the stock option plan, which are approved by the sharehold-
ers at the respective Annual General Meeting. The Board of 
Directors does not have the right to change how the exercise 
price is determined. 

Shares will be eligible for dividend for the fi nancial year in 
which the share subscription takes place. Other shareholder 
rights will commence on the date on which the subscribed 
shares are entered in the Trade Register. The stock option

grants are generally forfeited if the employment relationship 
terminates with Nokia. 

Stock option grants to the CEO are made upon recom-
mendation by the Personnel Committee and are approved 
by the Board of Directors and confi rmed by the independent 
directors of the Board. Stock option grants to the other Nokia 
Leadership Team members and other direct reports of the 
CEO are approved by the Personnel Committee. Stock option 
grants to eligible employees are approved by the CEO on a 
quarterly basis, based on an authorization given by the Board 
of Directors. 

Restricted shares 
During , we administered four global restricted share 
plans, the Restricted Share Plan , ,  and , 
each of which, including its terms and conditions, has been 
approved by the Board of Directors. 

Restricted shares are used to recruit, retain, and motivate 
selected high potential and critical talent who are vital to the 
future success of Nokia. Restricted shares are used only for 
key management positions and other critical talent. 

All of our restricted share plans have a restriction period of 

three years after grant. Until the Nokia shares are delivered, 
the participants will not have any shareholder rights, such 
as voting or dividend rights, associated with the restricted 
shares. The restricted share grants are generally forfeited if 
the employment relationship terminates with Nokia prior to 
vesting. 

Restricted share grants to the CEO are made upon recom-
mendation by the Personnel Committee and approved by the 
Board of Directors and confi rmed by the independent direc-
tors of the Board. Restricted share grants to the other Nokia 
Leadership Team members and other direct reports of the CEO 
are approved by the Personnel Committee. Restricted share 
grants to eligible employees are approved by the CEO on a 
quarterly basis, based on an authorization given by the Board 
of Directors. 

Nokia equity-based incentive program 2012 
On January , , the Board of Directors approved the 
scope and design of the Nokia Equity Program . Simi-
larly to the earlier broad-based equity incentive programs, it 
intends to align the potential value received by the partici-
pants directly with the long-term fi nancial performance of 

the company and increases in the company’s share price, thus 
aligning the participants’ interests with Nokia shareholders’ 
interests. Nokia’s balanced approach toward the use of equity 
eff ectively contributes to long-term value creation and sus-
tainability of the company and ensures compensation is based 
on performance. 

 The Equity Program  consists of performance shares, 

stock options and restricted shares. The primary equity 
instruments for the executive employees are performance 
shares and stock options. Restricted shares are also used 
for executives in lesser amounts for retention purposes. For 
directors below the executive level the primary equity instru-
ments are performance shares and restricted shares. Below 
the director level, performance shares and restricted shares 
are used on a selective basis to ensure retention and recruit-
ment of functional mastery and other employees deemed 
critical to Nokia’s future success. These equity-based incen-
tive awards are generally forfeited if the employee leaves 
Nokia prior to vesting. 

Performance shares 
The Performance Share Plan  approved by the Board of 
Directors has a performance period of two years (–) 
and a subsequent one-year restriction period. Therefore, the 
amount of shares based on the fi nancial performance during 
– will vest after . No performance shares will 
vest unless Nokia’s performance reaches at least one of the 
threshold levels measured by two independent, pre-defi ned 
performance criteria: 

  Average Annual Net Sales (non-IFRS): EUR   million 

(threshold) and EUR   million (maximum) during the 
performance period –, and 

  Average Annual EPS (diluted, non-IFRS): EUR . (threshold) 
and EUR . (maximum) during the performance period 
–. 

Average Annual Net Sales is calculated as an average of the 
non-IFRS net sales for Nokia Group (excluding Nokia Siemens 
Networks B.V. and its subsidiaries) for the years  and . 
Average Annual EPS is calculated as an average of the diluted, 
non-IFRS earnings per share for the years  and  for 
Nokia Group. Both the Average Annual Net Sales and the 
Average Annual EPS criteria are equally weighted and perfor-



N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 1

mance under each of the two performance criteria is calcu-
lated independent of each other. 

We believe the performance criteria set above are challeng-
ing. The awards at the threshold are signifi cantly reduced from 
grant level and achievement of maximum award would serve as 
an indication that Nokia’s performance signifi cantly exceeded 
current market expectations of our long-term execution. 

Achievement of the maximum performance for both criteria 

would result in the vesting of a maximum of  million Nokia 
shares. Performance exceeding the maximum criteria does 
not increase the number of performance shares that will vest. 
Achievement of the threshold performance for both criteria 
will result in the vesting of approximately  million shares. If 
only one of the threshold levels of performance is achieved, 
only approximately . million of the performance shares will 
vest. If none of the threshold levels is achieved, then none of 
the performance shares will vest. If the required performance 
level is achieved, the vesting will occur after . Until the 
Nokia shares are delivered, the participants will not have any 
shareholder rights, such as voting or dividend rights associ-
ated with these performance shares. 

Stock options 
The stock options to be granted in  are out of the Stock 
Option Plan  approved by the Annual General Meeting in 
. For more information about the Stock Option Plan  
see “Equity-Based Incentive Programs–Stock Options” above. 

Restricted shares 
Restricted shares under the Restricted Share Plan  ap-
proved by the Board of Directors are used as described above 
to ensure retention and recruitment of functional mastery and 
other employees deemed critical to Nokia’s future success. 
The restricted shares under the Restricted Share Plan  
have a three-year restriction period. The restricted shares will 
vest and the resulting Nokia shares be delivered in  and 
early , subject to fulfi llment of the service period criteria. 
Until the Nokia shares are delivered, the participants will not 
have any shareholder rights, such as voting or dividend rights 
associated with these restricted shares.

Maximum planned grants under the Nokia equity-
based incentive program 2012 in year 2012 
The approximate maximum number of planned grants under 
the Nokia Equity Program  (i.e. performance shares, stock 
options and restricted shares) in  are set forth in the 
table below.

  The number of Nokia shares to be delivered at threshold performance is a 
quarter of maximum performance, i.e., a total of  million Nokia shares.

As at December , , the total dilutive eff ect of all 
Nokia’s stock options, performance shares and restricted 
shares outstanding, assuming full dilution, was approximately 
.% in the aggregate. The potential maximum eff ect of the 
proposed Equity Based Compensation Program for  would 
be approximately another .%. 

SHARE  OWNER SHIP

General 
The following section describes the ownership or potential 
ownership interest in the company of the members of our 
Board of Directors and the Nokia Leadership Team as at 
December , , either through share ownership or, with 
respect to the Nokia Leadership Team, through holding of 
equity-based incentives, which may lead to share ownership in 
the future. 

With respect to the Board of Directors, approximately % 

of director compensation is paid in the form of Nokia shares 
that is purchased from the market. It is also Nokia’s policy that 
the Board members retain all Nokia shares received as direc-
tor compensation until the end of their board membership 
(except for those shares needed to off  set any costs relating 
to the acquisition of the shares, including taxes). In addition, it 
is Nokia’s policy that non-executive members of the Board do 
not participate in any of Nokia’s equity programs and do not

  For Jorma Ollila, this table includes his share ownership only. Mr. Ollila 

was entitled to retain all vested and unvested stock options, performance 
shares and restricted shares granted to him in respect of his service as 
the CEO of Nokia prior to June ,  as approved by the Board of Direc-
tors. Therefore, in addition to the above-presented share ownership, 
Mr. Ollila held, as at December , , a total of   stock options, 
which all expired without exercise on the same date. The information 
relating to stock options held by Mr. Ollila as at December ,  is

  No Nokia shares were delivered under Nokia Performance Share Plan  
which vested in  as Nokia’s performance did not reach the threshold 
level of either performance criteria. Therefore the shares deliverable 
at maximum equals zero for Nokia Performance Share Plan . At 
maximum performance under the Performance Share Plan  and , 
the number of shares deliverable equals four times the number of perfor-
mance shares at threshold. 

 

Includes also the shares receivable through the one-time special CEO 
incentive program. For the one-time special CEO incentive program, at 
maximum performance, the number of shares deliverable equals three 
times the number of shares at threshold.

  The performance period for the  plan is –, for the  plan 

– and for the  plan –, respectively. 

  The threshold number will vest as Nokia shares should the pre-deter-

mined threshold performance levels be met of both performance criteria. 
No Nokia shares were delivered under the Performance Share Plan  
which would have vested in  as Nokia’s performance did not reach 
the threshold level of either performance criteria. Therefore the shares 
deliverable at threshold equals zero for the Performance Share Plan . 

  The maximum number will vest as Nokia shares should the pre-deter-

mined maximum performance levels be met of both performance criteria. 
The maximum number of performance shares equals four times the num-
ber at threshold. No Nokia shares were delivered under the Performance 
Share Plan  as Nokia’s performance did not reach the threshold level 
of either performance criteria. Therefore the shares deliverable at maxi-
mum equals zero for the Performance Share Plan . 

  Represents the threshold and maximum number of shares under the 

one-time special CEO incentive program. For the one-time special CEO 
incentive program, the maximum number equals three times the number 
at threshold. 

  For Performance Share Plans  and  the value of performance 

shares is presented on the basis of Nokia’s estimation of the number of 
shares expected to vest. The intrinsic value for the Performance Share 
Plans  and  is based on the closing market price of a Nokia share 
on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki as at December ,  of EUR .. For the 
Performance Share Plan  no Nokia shares were delivered as Nokia’s 
performance did not reach the threshold level of either performance 
criteria. 

  The intrinsic value of the one-time special CEO incentive program is based 
on the assessment of the two performance criteria of Total Shareholder 
Return relative to a peer group and Nokia’s absolute share price as of 
December , . Nokia share price is a -day trade volume weighted 
average on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki as at December ,  of EUR .. 

  Under the Restricted Share Plans , ,  and , awards have 
been granted quarterly. For the major part of the awards made under 
these plans, the restriction period will end for the  plan on January , 
; for the  plan on January , ; for the  plan on January , 
; and for the  plan, on January , . 

  The intrinsic value is based on the closing market price of a Nokia share on 

NASDAQ OMX Helsinki as at December ,  of EUR .. 

  During , the following executives stepped down from the Nokia 

Leadership Team: Alberto Torres, Richard Green and Tero Ojanperä. The 
information related to performance shares and restricted shares held by 
each of the former executives is as of the date of resignation from the

Stock ownership guidelines for executive management 
One of the goals of our long-term equity-based incentive 
program is to focus executives on promoting the long-term 
value sustainability of the company and on building value for 
shareholders on a long-term basis. In addition to granting 
stock options, performance shares and restricted shares, we 
also encourage stock ownership by our top executives and 
have stock ownership commitment guidelines with mini-
mum recommendations tied to annual base salaries. For the 
President and CEO, the recommended minimum investment 
in Nokia shares corresponds to three times his annual base 
salary and for members of the Nokia Leadership Team two 
times the member’s annual base salary, respectively. To meet 
this requirement, all members of the Nokia Leadership Team 
are expected to retain % of any after-tax gains from equity 
programs in shares until the minimum investment level is met. 
The Personnel Committee regularly monitors the compliance 
by the executives with the stock ownership guidelines. 

Insider trading in securities 
The Board of Directors has established a policy in respect 
of insiders’ trading in Nokia securities. The members of 
the Board and the Nokia Leadership Team are considered 
as primary insiders. Under the policy, the holdings of Nokia 
securities by the primary insiders are public information, 
which is available from Euroclear Finland Ltd. and available 
on our website. Both primary insiders and secondary insiders 
(as defi ned in the policy) are subject to a number of trading 
restrictions and rules, including, among other things, prohibi-
tions on trading in Nokia securities during the three-week 
“closed-window” period immediately preceding the release of 
our quarterly results including the day of the release and the 
four-week “closed-window” period immediately preceding the 
release of our annual results including the day of the release. 
In addition, Nokia may set trading restrictions based on 
participation in projects. We update our insider trading policy 
from time to time and provide training for compliance with 
the policy. Nokia’s insider policy is in line with the NASDAQ OMX 
Helsinki Guidelines for Insiders and also sets requirements 
beyond those guidelines.

AUDITOR FEES AND SERVICES 

PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy has served as our independent 
auditor for each of the fi scal years in the three-year period 
ended December , . The independent auditor is elected 
annually by our shareholders at the Annual General Meeting 
for the fi scal year in question. The Audit Committee of the 
Board of Directors makes a proposal to the shareholders in re-
spect of the appointment of the auditor based upon its evalu-
ation of the qualifi cations and independence of the auditor to 
be proposed for election or re-election on an annual basis. 
 The following table sets forth the aggregate fees for 

professional services and other services rendered by 
PricewaterhouseCoopers to Nokia in  and  in total, 
with a separate presentation of those fees related to Nokia 
and Nokia Siemens Networks.

tion programs, tax implications on short-term international transfers). 

  All other fees include fees billed for company establishment, forensic 

accounting, data security, investigations and reviews of licensing arrange-

AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors is responsible, 
among other matters, for the oversight of the external auditor 
subject to the requirements of Finnish law. The Audit Commit-
tee has adopted a policy regarding pre-approval of audit and 
permissible non-audit services provided by our independent 
auditors (the “Policy”).

Under the Policy, proposed services either (i) may be pre-
approved by the Audit Committee without a specifi c case-by-
case services approvals (“general pre-approval”); or (ii) require 
the specifi c pre-approval of the Audit Committee (“specifi c 
pre-approval”). The Audit Committee may delegate either 
type of pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. 
The appendices to the Policy set out the audit, audit-related, 
tax and other services that have received the general pre-
approval of the Audit Committee. All other audit, audit-related 
(including services related to internal controls and signifi cant 
M&A projects), tax and other services are subject to a specifi c 
pre-approval from the Audit Committee. All service requests 
concerning generally pre-approved services will be submitted 
to the Corporate Controller who will determine whether the 
services are within the services generally pre-approved. The 
Policy and its appendices are subject to annual review by the 
Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee establishes budgeted fee levels an-
nually for each of the four categories of audit and non-audit 
services that are pre-approved under the Policy, namely, audit, 
audit-related, tax and other services. Requests or applications 
to provide services that require specifi c approval by the Audit 
Committee are submitted to the Audit Committee by both the 
independent auditor and the Corporate Controller. At each 
regular meeting of the Audit Committee, the independent 
auditor provides a report in order for the Audit Committee to 
review the services that the auditor is providing, as well as the 
status and cost of those services.
