REVIEW 
BY THE BOARD 
OF DIRECTORS 2012

Before the statutory information and other disclosures of 
the review by the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors 
outlines a brief summary of the key developments and actions 
in  and early . 

■  Lumia products. Since the unveiling of the fi rst Nokia Lumia 
products in , Nokia has expanded the Lumia experi-
ence to new price points and geographies. During the third 
quarter of , Nokia announced the Nokia Lumia  and 
the Nokia Lumia , the fi rst devices in Nokia’s Windows 
Phone  range which began to ship in select markets during 
the fourth quarter of .  

■  Asha products. The Nokia Asha family has expanded rap-
idly since its debut at Nokia World in October . Nokia 
Asha products blur the lines between feature phones and 
smartphones and are designed to off er the best overall 
experience and value proposition for the next billion mobile 
device users. Asha signifi es Nokia’s focus on positive user 
experiences and connecting millions of people to new op-
portunities that help them reach their aspirations. In , 
we continued to strengthen our Asha portfolio of products, 
including launching the fi rst Asha full touch smartphones, 
such as the Nokia Asha  and Asha . 

■  Symbian products. During Nokia’s transition to Windows 
Phone, Nokia continued to ship devices based on its own 
smartphone operating system called Symbian. However, 
after a decade-long history as part of Nokia’s portfolio, 
Nokia is not creating any new devices based on Symbian. 
The Nokia  PureView, a device which showcases some of 
Nokia’s  imaging capabilities and which came to market dur-
ing the fi rst half of , was the last Symbian device from 
Nokia. Nokia does not expect to sell any signifi cant volumes 
of Symbian devices in . 

■  Strategy and restructuring activities. In June , 

Nokia outlined a range of actions – planned or since com-
pleted – aimed at sharpening its strategy, improving its 
operating model and returning the company to profi table 
growth. Nokia announced that it plans to invest in products 
and experiences that make Lumia smartphones stand out 
and available to more consumers, invest in location-based 
services as an area of competitive diff erentiation for Nokia 
products and extend its location-based platform to new 
industries and improve the competitiveness and profi tabil-
ity of its Mobile Phones business. These actions announced 
in June included also streamlining, reducing and divesting 
certain operations, as well as headcount reductions in our 
Devices & Services business. To execute the strategy Nokia 
also made changes to its senior leadership.    

■  HERE (formerly Location & Commerce). As of January , 
, HERE is the new name of our former Location & 
Commerce business and reportable segment. Nokia’s HERE 
business has continued to strengthen both its portfolio of 
location-based off erings with updates to its signature ap-
plications and its customer base through new partnerships 
and licensing deals. In November , Nokia introduced 
the brand HERE, the fi rst location cloud aiming to deliver 
the world’s best maps and location experiences across 
multiple screens and operating systems. The business aims 
to positively diff erentiate its digital map data and location-
based off erings from those of our competitors and create 
competitive business models for our customers. 

■  Nokia Siemens Networks. Nokia Siemens Networks exe-
cuted well during  on the focused strategy and the 
restructuring program it announced in the end of . Built 
around both technological and geographic focus, quality and 
innovation, the strategy guides Nokia Siemens Networks to 
focus its business solely on mobile broadband and ser-
vices, for example by divesting a number of businesses and 
streamlining its portfolio. At the same time as it announced 
its new strategy, Nokia Siemens Networks also communicat-
ed plans to undertake a far-reaching and signifi cant restruc-
turing, aimed at reducing its annualized operating expenses 
and production overheads. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As of January , , Location & Commerce reportable seg-
ment is renamed as the HERE reportable segment and the 
terms “Location & Commerce” and “HERE” can be used as 
interchangeably in this annual report.

We have three businesses: Devices & Services, HERE (for-

merly 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; HERE; and Nokia Siemens Networks.

Our Devices & Services business includes two operating and 

reportable segments – Smart Devices, which focuses on our 
most advanced products, including Lumia smartphones, and 
Mobile Phones, which focuses on our most aff ordable prod-
ucts, including Asha full touch smartphones – as well as Devices 
& Services Other. Devices & Services Other includes intellec-
tual property income, net sales of spare parts and related cost 
of sales and operating expenses and common research and 
development expenses. Devices & Services Other also in-
cluded our luxury phone business Vertu until October , , 
when we sold most of our shareholding in Vertu to the private 
equity fund EQT VI.

NET SALES
Our net sales and profi tability were negatively aff ected by the 
increasing momentum of competing smartphone platforms 
relative to our Symbian smartphones in all regions as we con-
tinued on our platform transition to Windows Phone, as well 
as our pricing actions due to the competitive environment in 
both the smartphone and feature phone markets. In addition, 
during the fi rst half of  our net sales and profi tability were 
adversely aff ected by our lack of aff ordable full touch devices 
which continued to be a growing part of the market. For Nokia 
Siemens Networks, net sales decrease was driven primarily by 
Nokia Siemens Networks’ strategy to focus on mobile broad-
band and services. 

the decreased gross margin in Devices & Services compared 
to , which was partially off  set by increased gross margin in 
Nokia Siemens Networks. 

OPERATING EXPENSES 
Our research and development (“R&D”) expenses were EUR 
  million in , compared to EUR   million in . 
Research and development costs represented .% of our 
net sales in  compared to .% in . The increase in 
research and development expenses as a percentage of net 
sales largely resulted from a relative decline in net sales in 
. Research and development expenses included purchase 
price accounting items of EUR  million in  compared 
to EUR  million in . At December , , we employed 
  people in research and development, representing ap-
proximately % of our total workforce. 

In , our selling and marketing expenses were EUR   
million, compared to EUR   million in . Selling and mar-
keting expenses represented .% of our net sales in  
compared to .% in . The increase in selling and market-
ing expenses as a percentage of net sales refl ected a decline 
in net sales in . Selling and marketing expenses included 
purchase price accounting items of EUR  million in  
compared to EUR  million in . 

Administrative and general expenses were EUR  million 
in , compared to EUR   million in . Administrative 
and general expenses were equal to .% of our net sales in 
 compared to .% in . The increase in administrative 
and general expenses as a percentage of net sales refl ected a 
decline in net sales in . Administrative and general ex-
penses included no purchase price accounting items in  
compared to EUR  million in .

charges of EUR   million, including EUR  million related 
to country and contract exits, impairments of assets of EUR 
 million, a negative adjustment of EUR  million to purchase 
price allocations related to the fi nal payment from Motorola, 
amortization of acquired intangible assets of EUR  million, 
benefi t from cartel claim settlements of EUR  million, a net 
gain on sale of Vertu business of EUR  million and a net gain 
on sale of real estate of EUR  million. In , other income 
and expenses included restructuring charges of EUR  mil-
lion, impairment of assets of EUR  million, consideration 
related to the Accenture transaction of EUR  million, impair-
ment of shares in an associated company of EUR  million and 
a benefi t from a cartel claim settlement of EUR  million. 

The  markets in which we generated the greatest net sales 

in  were, in descending order of magnitude, China, India, 
Japan, the United States, Brazil, Germany, Russia, the United 
Kingdom, Indonesia and Italy, together representing approxi-
mately % of total net sales in . In comparison, the  
markets in which we generated the greatest net sales in  
were China, India, Brazil, Russia, Germany, Japan, the United 
States, the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain, together repre-
senting approximately % of total net sales in . 

GROSS MARGIN 
Our gross margin in  was .%, compared to .% in 
. The lower gross margin in  resulted primarily from 

OPERATING MARGIN 
Our  operating loss was EUR   million, compared with 
an operating loss of EUR   million in . The increased 
operating loss resulted primarily from restructuring charges 
and associated items of EUR . billion and a decrease in the 
operating performance of our Devices & Services business, 
which was partially off  set by an increase in the operating 
performance of Nokia Siemens Networks. Our  operating 
margin was negative .% compared to negative .% in . 
Our operating loss in  included purchase price account-
ing items, restructuring charges and other special items of 
net negative EUR . billion compared to net negative EUR . 
billion in .

all net cash from operating activities, excluding cash outfl ows 
related to restructuring, net fi nancial expenses and taxes, as 
well as cash fl ows related to the receipt of quarterly platform 
support payments from Microsoft (which commenced in the 
fourth quarter ). 

In , Nokia Siemens Networks’ contribution to net cash 

from operating activities was approximately EUR . billion, 
primarily due to net working capital changes. At the end of 
, Nokia Siemens Networks’ contribution to the Nokia gross 
cash was EUR . billion and contribution to Nokia’s net cash 
was EUR . billion. 

Our agreement with Microsoft includes platform support 

payments from Microsoft to us as well as software royalty 
payments from us to Microsoft. Under the terms of the agree-
ment governing the platform support payments, the amount 
of each quarterly platform support payment is USD  mil-
lion. We have a competitive software royalty structure, which 
includes annual minimum software royalty commitments that 
vary over the life of the agreement. Software royalty pay-
ments, with minimum commitments are paid quarterly. Over 
the life of the agreement, both the platform support pay-
ments and the minimum software royalty commitments are 
expected to measure in the billions of US dollars. Over the life 
of the agreement the total amount of the platform support 
payments is expected to slightly exceed the total amount of 
the minimum software royalty commitment payments. As of 
the end of , the amount of platform support payments 
received by Nokia has exceeded the amount of minimum 
software royalty commitment payments made to Microsoft, 
thus the net cash fl ows have been in our favor. As a result, 
the remaining minimum software royalty commitment pay-
ments are expected to exceed the remaining platform support 
payments by a total of approximately EUR . billion over the 
remaining life of the agreement. However, in  the amount 
of the platform support payments is expected to slightly 
exceed the total amount of the minimum software royalty 
commitment payments, thus the net cash fl ows are still ex-
pected to be slightly in our favor. In accordance with the terms 
of the agreement, the platform support payments and annual 
minimum software royalty commitment payments continue 
for a corresponding period of time. We have recognized a por-
tion of the received platform support payments as a benefi t to 
our Smart Devices cost of goods sold and the remainder as a 
liability as part of accrued expenses and other liabilities on our 
balance sheet. 

RESULTS BY SEGMENTS 

Devices & Services 
The following table sets forth selective line items and the per-
centage of net sales that they represent for Devices & Services 
for the fi scal years  and .

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 higher net expense in  was primarily driven by 
foreign exchange losses. Nokia expects fi nancial income and 
expenses, net, in  to be an expense of approximately EUR 
 million. 

Our net debt to equity ratio was negative % at Decem-
ber , , compared with a net debt to equity ratio of nega-
tive % at December , .

PROFIT BEFORE TAXES 
Loss before tax was EUR   million in , compared to a 
loss of EUR   million in . Taxes amounted to EUR   
million in  and EUR  million in . Nokia taxes contin-
ued to be unfavorably aff ected by Nokia Siemens Networks 
taxes as no tax benefi ts are recognized for certain Nokia 
Siemens Networks deferred tax items. Additionally, in , 
Nokia taxes were adversely aff ected by allowances related to 
Devices & Services’ Finnish deferred tax assets and discon-
tinuation of recognizing tax benefi ts for Devices & Services’ 
Finnish 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 a loss attributable to non-
controlling interests of EUR  million in . This change was 
primarily due to an increase 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 a loss of EUR   
million in . Earnings per share in  decreased to EUR 
– . (basic) and EUR – . (diluted), compared with EUR – . 
(basic) and EUR – . (diluted) in . 

CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION
The following chart sets out Nokia Group’s cash fl ow for the 
fi scal years  and  and fi nancial position at the end of

EUR . billion in , primarily due to cash outfl ows related to 
restructuring of approximately EUR . billion, the payment of 
the dividend of approximately EUR  million in  and cash

The % year-on-year decline in Devices & Services net 

sales in  resulted from lower volumes in both Smart 
Devices and Mobile Phones as well as a lower ASP in Mobile 
Phones, partially off  set by a higher ASP in Smart Devices. 
Devices & Services Other net sales decreased in  due to 
lower non-recurring IPR income, the divestment of Vertu dur-
ing the fourth quarter  and lower spare parts sales. 

Smart Devices continued to transition as Symbian volumes 

decreased sequentially every quarter in . Lumia device 
volumes grew in the fi rst half of  by expanding geographi-
cal distribution as well as new product launches, but were 
negatively aff ected in the third quarter  by product transi-
tions. In the fourth quarter , Smart Devices net sales grew 
sequentially as we started shipping new Lumia devices, al-
though volumes were adversely aff ected by supply constraints 
as we ramped up our production capacity, particularly related 
to the Lumia . Smart Devices shipped a total of . million 
Lumia devices in . During the fi rst half of , Mobile 
Phones was negatively aff ected by aggressive price competi-
tion and the lack of aff ordable full touch devices. Towards the 
end of the second quarter  Mobile Phones introduced 
aff ordable Asha full touch smartphones and sold . million 
units in the second half . 

Our overall Devices & Services net sales in  benefi ted 
from the recognition in Devices & Services Other of approxi-

mately EUR  million (EUR  million in ) of non-recurring 
IPR income. The non-recurring IPR income relates to new pat-
ent license agreements for the respective years that included 
settlements of past royalties and accordingly is not expected 
to have a recurring benefi t. Patent license agreements are 
generally multi-year arrangements and may cover both licen-
see’s past and future sales. Typically, when a patent license 
agreement is signed it includes an agreement or settlement on 
past royalties that the licensor is entitled to. Such income for 
past periods is typically recognized as a non-recurring item. 
The license payments relating to the future royalties are typi-
cally recognized over the remaining contract period based on 
the contract terms. The future license payments may fl uctu-
ate based on the terms of the license. 

During the last two decades, we have invested approximate-

ly EUR  billion in research and development and built one of 
the wireless industry’s strongest and broadest IPR portfolios, 
with approximately   patent families. We are a world 
leader in the development of handheld device and mobile 
communications technologies, which is also demonstrated by 
our strong patent position. Within Devices & Services Other, 
we estimate that our current annual IPR income run-rate is ap-
proximately EUR . billion.

On a year-on-year basis, the decline in our total Devices & 
Services volumes in  was driven by lower volumes in both 
Smart Devices and Mobile Phones discussed below. 

AVERAGE SELLING PRICE 
Our total mobile device ASP represents total Devices & Services 
net sales divided by total Devices & Services volumes. Devices 
& Services Other net sales includes net sales of Nokia’s luxury 
phone business Vertu through October , , spare parts, 
as well as IPR income. As IPR income is included in Devices & 
Services Other net sales, we provide our total mobile device ASP 
both including and excluding IPR income in this Annual Report. 
Our total mobile device ASP, including IPR income, in  
was EUR , down % from EUR  in . The decrease in 
our mobile device ASP in  was due to a higher proportion 
of Mobile Phones volumes and lower Mobile Phones ASPs, 
partially off  set by higher Smart Devices ASPs. Our total mobile 
device ASP, excluding IPR income, in  was EUR , down % 
from EUR  in .

GROSS MARGIN 
Our Devices & Services gross margin in  was .%, com-
pared to .% in . On a year-on-year basis, the decline in 
our Devices & Services gross margin in  was due to gross 
margin declines in Smart Devices and to a lesser degree in 
Mobile Phones and Devices & Services Other. 

OPERATING EXPENSES 
Devices & Services operating expenses decreased % year-
on-year in . On a year-on-year basis, operating expenses 
related to Smart Devices decreased % in , where Mobile 
Phones remained approximately on the same level. In addition 
to the factors described below, the year-on-year changes 
were aff ected by the proportionate allocation of operat-
ing expenses being aff ected by the relative mix of sales and 
gross profi t performance between Mobile Phones and Smart 
Devices. This resulted in higher and lower relative allocations 
to Mobile Phones and Smart Devices, respectively. 

Devices & Services research and development expenses 
decreased % year-on-year in  due to declines in Smart 
Devices and Devices & Services Other research and develop-
ment expenses. The decreases in research and development 
expenses were due primarily to a focus on priority projects 
and cost controls as well as business divestments. 

Devices & Services sales and marketing expenses decreased 

% year-on-year in  primarily due to lower overall busi-
ness activity, improved effi  ciency in general marketing activi-
ties and business divestments. 

Devices & Services administrative and general expenses 
decreased % year-on-year in , primarily due structural 
cost savings as well as business divestments. 

In , Devices & Services other income and expense had 

a negative year-on-year impact on profi tability. In , we 
recognized special items of net EUR  million in Devices & 
Services Other, comprised of restructuring charges of EUR  
million and related impairments of EUR  million, a benefi t 
from cartel claim settlements of EUR  million, a net gain from 
the sale of a real estate of EUR  million and a net gain from 
the divestment of the Vertu business of EUR  million. In , 
we recognized special items of net EUR  million in Devices 
& Services Other, comprised of restructuring charges of EUR 
 million, impairment of assets of EUR  million, Accenture 
deal consideration 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. 

COST REDUCTION ACTIVITIES AND PLANNED 
OPERATIONAL ADJUSTMENTS 

We continue to target to reduce our Devices & Services operat-
ing expenses to an annualized run rate of approximately EUR 
. billion, excluding special items and purchase price account-
ing related items, by the end of . 

In June, , we announced additional restructuring 
measures to those announced in , including targeted 
investments in key growth areas, operational changes, divest-
ment of non-core assets and signifi cantly increased our cost 
reduction target. The measures included the closure of our 
manufacturing facility in Salo, Finland as well as the closure of 
our research and development facilities in Ulm, Germany and 
Burnaby, Canada. We also focused our sales and marketing ac-
tivities and streamlined our information technology, corporate 

and support functions to align with the sharpened strategy. 
In addition, we completed the divestment of Vertu and our 
headquarters building in Finland. 

As of December , , we had recognized cumulative 
net charges in Devices & Services in  and  of approxi-
mately EUR . billion related to restructuring activities, which 
included restructuring charges and associated impairments. 
While the total extent of the restructuring activities is still to 
be determined, we currently anticipate cumulative charges in 
Devices & Services of approximately EUR . billion before the 
end of . We also expect the total cash outfl ows related to 
our Devices & Services restructuring activities to be approxi-
mately EUR . billion of which approximately EUR . billion had 
been incurred as of December , . 

OPERATING MARGIN 
Devices & Services reported an operating loss of EUR   
million in , compared with an operating profi t of EUR  
million in . Devices & Services operating margin in  
was negative .%, compared with positive .% in . The 
year-on-year decrease in operating margin in  was driven 
primarily by the lower net sales and gross margin compared to 
 in both Smart Devices and Mobile Phones.

NET SALES 
Smart Devices net sales decreased % to EUR   million in 
, compared to EUR   million in . The year-on-year 
decline in our Smart Devices net sales in  was primarily due 
to signifi cantly lower volumes, partially off  set by higher ASPs. 

VOLUME 
Smart Devices volume decreased % to . million units in 
, compared to . million units in . The year-on-year 
decrease in our Smart Device volumes in  was driven by 
the strong momentum of competing smartphone platforms 
relative to our Symbian devices. On a geographical basis, the 
decrease in volumes was due to lower volumes in Greater Chi-
na, Europe, Asia Pacifi c, Middle East & Africa and Latin America, 
partially off  set by slightly higher volumes in North America.

pared to EUR  in . The year-on-year increase in our 
Smart Devices ASP in  was primarily due to a positive mix 
shift towards sales of our Lumia devices, which had a higher 
ASP, a positive impact related to deferred revenue on services 
sold in combination with our devices as well as the net positive 
impact related to foreign currency fl uctuations, partially off  set 
by general price erosion and our pricing actions. 

GROSS MARGIN 
Smart Devices gross margin was .% in , down from 
.% in . The year-on-year decline in our Smart Devices 
gross margin in  was primarily due to greater price erosion 
than cost erosion due to the competitive environment, inven-
tory related allowances of EUR  million in the second quar-
ter  and EUR  million in the third quarter , higher 
fi xed costs per unit because of lower sales volumes, and a 
negative product mix shift towards lower gross margin devices.

NET SALES 
Mobile Phones net sales decreased % to EUR   million 
in , compared to EUR   million in . On a year-on-
year basis, our Mobile Phones net sales decreased in  due 
to lower volumes and ASPs. 

VOLUME 
Mobile Phones volume decreased % to  million units in 
, compared to  million units in . The year-on-year 
decline in our Mobile Phones volumes in  was due to the 
challenging competitive environment and market environ-
ment, which negatively aff ected our volumes across the 
Mobile Phones portfolio. In particular, low-end smartphones 
powered by the Android operating system proliferated at lower 
price points throughout . During the second half of , 
Mobile Phones started shipping Asha full touch smartphones, 
which improved the competitiveness of our higher end Mobile 
Phones product portfolio. During the second half of , Mo-
bile Phones shipped . million Asha full touch smartphones.

year-on-year increase in Location & Commerce external net 
sales in  was primarily driven by higher sales of map 
content licenses to vehicle customers, partially off  set by lower 
sales to personal navigation devices customers. The year-on-

GROSS MARGIN 
On a year-on-year basis, the decrease in Location & Commerce 
gross margin in  was primarily due to lower personal navi-
gation device sales which carry a higher gross margin, partially 
off  set by a higher gross margin in the vehicle segment.

OPERATING EXPENSES 
Location & Commerce research and development expenses 
decreased % primarily driven by a focus on cost controls, 
lower project spending and a shift of research and develop-
ment operating expenses to cost of sales as a result of the 
divestiture of the media advertising business. 

Location & Commerce sales and marketing expenses de-
creased % primarily driven by a focus on cost controls and 
lower marketing spending. 

Location & Commerce administrative and general expenses 

increased % primarily driven by higher use of services pro-
vided by shared support functions. 

In , Location & Commerce other income and expense 
had a positive year-on-year impact on profi tability. In , 
we recognized special items of EUR  million in Location & 
Commerce, comprised of restructuring charges of EUR  
million. In , we recognized special items of EUR . billion in 
Location & Commerce, comprised of restructuring charges of 
EUR  million and impairment of goodwill of EUR . billion. 

OPERATING MARGIN 
Location & Commerce operating loss decreased 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 improvement in operating margin in  was 
driven primarily by the lower other operating expenses due to 
the impairment of Location & Commerce’s goodwill of EUR .

Nokia Siemens Networks’ net sales decreased % to EUR 
  million in , compared to EUR   million in . 
The year-on-year decline in Nokia Siemens Networks’ net sales 
was primarily due to the decline in sales of business areas not 
consistent with Nokia Siemens Networks’ strategic focus and 
lower infrastructure equipment sales, partially off  set by higher 
services net sales. On a full year basis, services represented 
slightly more than % of Nokia Siemens Networks’ net sales 
in  and . 

GROSS MARGIN 
Nokia Siemens Networks’ gross margin was .% in , 
compared to .% . The increase in Nokia Siemens 
Networks gross margin in  was primarily due to the better 
gross margin in both infrastructure equipment and services. 
Within infrastructure equipment, the increase was primarily 
due to favorable region and product mix consistent with Nokia 
Siemens Networks’ strategy to focus on mobile broadband. 
Within services, the increase was primarily due to structural 
cost actions and eff orts to align the services business with the 
focused strategy. 

OPERATING EXPENSES 
Nokia Siemens Networks’ research and development expenses 
decreased % year-on-year in  primarily due to structural 
cost saving actions and overall research and development 
effi  ciency. 

Nokia Siemens Networks’ sales and marketing expenses de-
creased % year-on-year in  primarily due to structural 
cost saving actions. 

Nokia Siemens Networks’ administrative and general 

expenses decreased % year-on-year in  primarily due to 
structural cost saving actions. 

In , Nokia Siemens Networks other and income and 
expense had a negative year-on-year impact on profi tability. 
In , we recognized special items of EUR . billion in Nokia 
Siemens Networks, comprised of net restructuring charges 
and associated items of EUR . billion. In , we recognized 
special items of EUR  million in Nokia Siemens Networks, 
comprised of restructuring charges of EUR  million.

OPERATING MARGIN 
Nokia Siemens Networks’ operating loss in  was EUR  
million, compared with an operating loss of EUR  million in 
. Nokia Siemens Networks’ operating margin in  was 
negative .%, compared with negative .% in  primarily 
due to restructuring charges of EUR . billion in . 

STRATEGY AND RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM 
In 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 continues to target to reduce its annual-
ized operating expenses and production overheads, excluding 
special items and purchase price accounting related items, by 
more than EUR  billion by the end of , compared to the 
end of . While these savings are expected to come largely 
from organizational streamlining, it has also targeted areas 
such as real estate, information technology, product and 
service procurement costs, overall general and administrative 
expenses, and a signifi cant reduction of suppliers in order to 
further lower costs and improve quality. 

During , Nokia Siemens Networks recognized restructur-
ing charges and other associated items of EUR . billion related 
to this restructuring program, resulting in cumulative charges 
of approximately EUR . billion. In total we now expect cumula-
tive Nokia Siemens Networks restructuring charges of approxi-
mately EUR . billion by the end of , virtually all of which 
have now been recognized. By the end of , Nokia Siemens 
Networks had cumulative restructuring related cash outfl ows 
of approximately EUR  million related to this restructuring 
program. Nokia Siemens Networks expects restructuring-
related cash outfl ows to be approximately EUR  million for 
the full year , and approximately EUR  million for the full 
year  related to this restructuring program. 

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

MAIN EVENTS IN 2012

Nokia

■  Nokia outlined a range of actions – planned or since 

completed – aimed at sharpening its strategy, improving its 
operating model and returning the company to profi table 
growth. The measures included: 

▪  Reductions within certain research and development pro-
jects, resulting in the closure of Nokia’s facilities in Ulm, 
Germany and Burnaby, Canada; 

▪  The transfer of device assembly from our production 

facilities in Komarom in Hungary and Reynosa in Mexico to 
Nokia facilities in Asia, where the majority of component 
suppliers are based. The Komarom and Reynosa facilities 
are now focusing on smartphone product customization; 

▪  The consolidation of certain manufacturing operations, 

resulting in the closure of Nokia’s manufacturing facility in 
Salo, Finland; 

▪  Nokia, and De’ Longhi SpA, a global leader in household 

appliances, agreed terms for De’ Longhi to acquire Nokia’s 
production facility in Cluj, Romania during the fi rst quarter 
in ; 

▪  Focusing of marketing and sales activities, including 

prioritizing key markets; and

▪  Streamlining of corporate and support functions. 

■  In April , to unify the fi nancial mode of operation of 

Nokia, Nokia Corporation transferred its mobile device sales 
related business operations, including sales agreements, 
to Nokia Sales International Oy, a wholly owned subsidiary 
of Nokia Corporation. The transfer had no eff ect on mobile 
device sales that has been carried out by other Nokia 
subsidiaries.

■  Nokia completed an off ering of EUR  million of senior 
unsecured convertible bonds due  convertible into 
ordinary shares of Nokia Corporation. Nokia intends to use 
the net proceeds of the off ering to prudently manage its 
capital structure, proactively address upcoming maturities 
while preserving existing pools of liquidity and for general 
corporate purposes. 

■  Nokia entered into a new patent license agreement with 

BlackBerry (formerly Research In Motion). The agreement 
results in settlement of all existing patent litigation between 
the companies and withdrawal of pending actions in the 
US, UK and Canada related to a recent arbitration tribunal 
decision. 

■  Nokia sold its head offi  ce building in Espoo, Finland, to 

Finland-based Exilion and has leased it back from Exilion on 
a long-term lease. The selling price was EUR  million. 

■  Since the end of , Nokia has outlined a range of planned 
changes to streamline its IT organization. As part of the 
planned changes, Nokia transferred certain activities and 
approximately  employees to HCL Technologies and TATA 
Consultancy Services. In addition, Nokia plans to reduce 
its global IT organization by approximately  employees. 
Nokia believes these changes will increase operational ef-
fi ciency and reduce operating costs, creating an IT organiza-
tion appropriate for Nokia’s current size and scope.

■  Nokia started development of a new manufacturing facility 
in Vietnam to serve the feature phone market. The targeted 
opening of the facility is the second half of .

■  During 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 the third quarter, Nokia was included by the Carbon 

Disclosure Project (CDP) in the Carbon Disclosure Leadership 
Index and the Carbon Performance Leadership Index, 
receiving recognition both for its disclosure of climate 
change information and the action it is taking to reduce its 
emissions.

SMART DEVICES
■  Nokia continued to expand the breadth and depth of its 

Nokia Lumia range of Windows Phone -based smartphones 
and brought the range to new markets, including China and 
the United States. 

■  In September , Nokia launched its fi rst products on 
Windows Phone , the latest generation of the Windows 
Phone platform. Nokia started selling the fi rst products 
running Windows Phone  – the fl agship Nokia Lumia  and 
the mid-range Nokia Lumia  – in select markets including 
China, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. 
Nokia has also launched in markets such as India as well 
as introduced the Nokia  in select markets, with Lumia 
smartphones now available in more than  markets around 
the world. Nokia’s fi rst Windows Phone  products showcase 
the best of Windows Phone , which for the fi rst time shares 
many core technologies with the wider Windows ecosystem. 
Windows Phone  also introduced multi-core processor 
support, NFC (near fi eld communication) technology, and 
support for higher screen resolutions, as well as increased 
language support and new capabilities in imaging and ap-
plication. 

■  Nokia continued to support the growth of the Windows 
Phone ecosystem. The number of applications in the 
Windows Phone Marketplace grew to more than   by 
the end of , up from approximately   at the start 
of the year. 

■  During Nokia’s transition to Windows Phone through , 
Nokia continued to ship devices based on Symbian. The 
Nokia  PureView, a device which showcases our imaging 
capabilities and which came to market in mid-, was the 
last Symbian device from Nokia. 

■  Nokia announced a range of wireless charging accessories 
and partnerships. The Fatboy Recharge Pillow provides an 
alternative way to charge the Lumia  and Lumia  
wirelessly, while HARMAN’S JBL brand introduced the JBL 
PowerUP, a wireless charging docking station with high 
quality audio in retro styling and the JBL PlayUp for high 
quality portable audio. Nokia also agreed with Virgin Atlantic 
to put wireless charging stations in its London Heathrow 
Clubhouse lounge and with Coff ee Bean & Tea Leaf to put 
charging plates on tables in some of their cafés.

complete Asha touch range full smartphone classifi cation 
from global market research companies and analysts such 
as GfK. 

■  In the fourth quarter, Nokia introduced the Nokia  in both 
a single and dual SIM version. The Nokia  includes Nokia’s 
exclusive Slam feature, which enables consumers to share 
multimedia content like photos and videos with nearby 
friends almost instantly. Slam works with most Bluetooth-
enabled mobile phones without the need to pair devices, 
and without the recipient needing to also have Slam. 

■  Nokia unveiled Nokia Life+, the latest evolution of its widely-
used Nokia Life service. Nokia Life+ is a Web application, 
which will provide millions of people with valuable informa-
tion on education, health and “infotainment” topics. Nokia 
Life+ will be supported by the Nokia Asha  and Nokia 
Asha  smartphones alongside a wide range of Nokia 
mobile phones. 

■  In the fi rst quarter , the Nokia Xpress browser, Nokia’s 

cloud-accelerated browser for Series  devices, continued 
to grow rapidly with support for  devices in  languages 
and more than  countries. The Nokia Xpress browser is the 
fi rst of its kind to support web apps, and since the release of 
the SDK in , developer support has continued to grow. 

HERE (formerly Location & Commerce) 
■  Nokia introduced a new brand – HERE – for our location-based 
products and services and has begun adopting the HERE 
brand in the portfolio. HERE is the fi rst location cloud to de-
liver the world’s best maps and location experiences across 
multiple screens and operating systems.

opportunities upon which third parties can build. During 
the year, among others, Amazon became an NLP licensee 
for maps and geocoding and Ford’s research organization 
selected the NLP to leverage Nokia’s high-quality global 
location content as well as scalable cloud services and APIs. 

■  As part of its commitment to strengthen the Windows 

Phone ecosystem, Nokia integrated the NLP into Windows 
Phone  OS to power location-based experiences built for 
Windows Phone , including access to offl  ine maps.

■  HERE agreed a partnership with Groupon to bring local and 

national deals to Nokia customer and released a new version

ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Nokia’s Articles of Association include a provision on obligation 
to purchase shares. 

Amendment of the Articles of Association requires a de-
cision of the general meeting, supported by two-thirds of 
the votes cast and two-thirds of the shares represented at 
the meeting. 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. 

SHARES AND SHARE CAPITAL

Nokia has one class of shares. Each Nokia share entitles the 
holder to one vote at general meetings of Nokia. 

Our Devices & Services business is expected to continue to 
be subject to risks and uncertainties, as our Smart Devices 
business unit continues to broaden its portfolio of Windows 
Phone  based products and our Mobile Phones business unit 
continues to bring more smartphone features and design to 
our Mobile Phones portfolio. Those risks and uncertainties in-
clude, among others, the timing, ramp-up, quality and demand 
for our new products, including our Lumia and Asha devices; 
further pressure on margins as competitors endeavor to capi-
talize on our transition; and uncertainty in the macroeconomic 
environment.

Nokia Siemens Networks plans to continue to prioritize the 

improvement of its profi tability and cash generation over 
growth in revenue. In addition, it plans to target increasing 
its market share in certain growth areas such as G (LTE), in 
particular in priority countries, Japan, Korea and the United 
States. 

Longer-term, Nokia continues to target: 

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

and 

■  Devices & Services operating margin to be % or more, 
excluding special items and purchase price accounting 
related items. 

Longer-term, Nokia Siemens Networks continues to target:

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

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

In , we announced additional restructuring measures 

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, including certain Nokia 
Leadership Team members. The shares were transferred free 
of charge and the amount of shares transferred 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 companies 

owned    Nokia shares. The shares represented ap-
proximately .% of the total number of the shares of the com-
pany 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 
related party transactions, the shareholders, stock options, 
shareholders’ equity per share, dividend yield, price per earn-
ings ratio, share prices, market capitalization, share turnover 
and average number of shares are available in the Annual 
Accounts section.

to those announced during  as a result of our Devices 
& Services strategy. We announced in June  that Nokia 
targets to reduce its Devices & Services operating expenses, 
excluding special items and purchase price accounting related 
items, to an annualized run rate of approximately EUR . bil-
lion by the end of . 

Nokia Siemens Networks continues to target to reduce its 

annualized operating expenses and production overheads, 
excluding special items and purchase price accounting related 
items, by more than EUR  billion by the end of , compared 
to the end of . While these savings are expected to come 
largely from organizational streamlining, it has also targeted 
areas such as real estate, information technology, product and 
service procurement costs, overall general and administrative 
expenses and a signifi cant reduction of suppliers in order to 
further lower costs and improve quality. 

RISK FACTORS

Set forth below is a description of risk factors that could aff ect 
Nokia, starting with the risks which are mainly related to our 
primary revenue generating areas. 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 individually or together, could adversely 
aff ect our business, sales, profi tability, results of operations, 

14

fi nancial condition, liquidity, market share, brand, reputation 
and share price from time to time. Unless otherwise indicated 
or the context otherwise provides, references in these risk fac-
tors 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.

■  We may not be able to make Nokia products with Windows 
Phone a competitive choice for consumers unless the 
Windows Phone ecosystem becomes a competitive and prof-
itable global ecosystem that achieves suffi  cient scale, value 
and attractiveness to relevant market participants. 

■  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 produce attractive and competitive 

devices in our Mobile Phones business unit, including feature 
phones and devices with features such as full touch that can 
be categorized as smartphones, in a timely and cost effi  cient 
manner with diff erentiated hardware, software, localized 
services and applications. 

■  Our strategy for our HERE business includes various risks 

and uncertainties and may not succeed if we are unable to 
establish a successful location-based platform, extend our 
location-based services across devices and operating sys-
tems, maintain current sources of revenue, provide support 
for our HERE business and create new sources of revenue 
from our location-based services and commerce assets. 

■  Our products include numerous patented standardized or 
proprietary technologies on which we depend and utilize 
for revenue generation. Third parties may use without a 
license and unlawfully infringe our intellectual property or 
commence actions seeking to establish the invalidity of the 
intellectual property rights of these technologies, or we may 
not be able to maintain the existing sources of intellectual 
property related revenue or establish new such sources. 

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

■  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 market 
in a timely manner. 

■  Our partnership with Microsoft is subject to risks and 

uncertainties. 

■  We may not be able to eff ectively and smoothly implement 
the planned changes in operational structure or achieve 
targeted effi  ciencies and reductions in operating expenses.

■  We may not be able to retain, motivate, develop and recruit 
appropriately skilled employees, which may hamper our abil-
ity to implement our strategies. 

■  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 ability to maintain and leverage our traditional 

strengths in the mobile products 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, were to fail to perform as planned or if we 
fail to achieve the collaboration or partnering arrangements 
needed to succeed, we may not be able to bring our mobile 
products or location-based or other services to market suc-
cessfully 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 
with quality requirements and on time could be materially 
adversely aff ected. 

■  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. 

■  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. 

■  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. 

■  We have operations in a number of countries and, as a 

result, face complex tax issues and could be obligated to pay 
additional taxes in various jurisdictions and our actual or 
anticipated performance, among other factors, could result 
in allowances related to deferred tax assets.

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

■  Nokia Siemens Networks’ restructuring plan to improve 

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 technologies 
may also result in increased licensing costs for us, restric-
tions on our ability to use certain technologies in our prod-
ucts and/or costly and time-consuming litigation. 

■  Our sales derived from, and manufacturing facilities and as-
sets located in, emerging market countries may be materi-
ally adversely aff ected by economic, regulatory, political or 
other developments in those countries or by other countries 
imposing regulations against imports to such countries. 

■  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. 

■  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’ sales and profi tability depend 

on its success in the mobile broadband infrastructure and 
related services market. Nokia Siemens Networks may fail to 
eff ectively and profi tably adapt its business and operations 
in a timely manner to the increasingly 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 
environment. 

fi nancial performance and competitiveness may not lead to 
sustainable improvements in Nokia Siemens Networks’ over-
all competitiveness and profi tability, and it may be unable to 
otherwise continue to reduce operating expenses and other 
costs. Additionally, changes in the ownership structure of 
Nokia Siemens Networks could have an adverse eff ect on 
Nokia Siemens Networks or us. 

■  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’ business is dependent on a limited 

number of customers. 

■  Nokia Siemens Networks’ mobile broadband infrastructure 
and related services business is dependent on large multi-
year contracts. 

■  Nokia Siemens Networks’ liquidity and its ability to meet its 
working capital requirements depend on access to available 
credit under its fi nancing arrangements and other credit 
lines as well as cash at hand. If those sources of liquidity 
were to be unavailable, or cannot be refi nanced when they 
mature, this could have a material adverse eff ect on our 
business, results of operations and fi nancial condition. 

■  Nokia Siemens Networks may be adversely aff ected by 

customer fi nancing or extending payment terms it provides 
to customers. 

■  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 trans-
ferred 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

The Board will propose that no dividend be paid for the fi scal 
year .

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL 
STATEMENTS

1.  ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES 

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 Standards 
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 Finn-
ish accounting legislation. Nokia’s Board of Directors author-
ized 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 reportable seg-
ment. From the third quarter  until the end of the third 
quarter , NAVTEQ was a separate reportable segment of 
Nokia. As a result of this structure, Nokia currently has four 
operating and reportable segments: Smart Devices and Mobile 
Phones within Devices & Services, Location & Commerce and 
Nokia Siemens Networks. 

As of January , , Location & Commerce business and 
reportable segment has been renamed as the HERE business 
and reportable segment. 

The presentation of Nokia Siemens Networks’ restructuring 

and other associated expenses has been aligned with other 
Nokia businesses and included within other expenses instead 
of impacting functions. Accordingly, included in other expens-
es in  is EUR  million restructuring charges, previously 
refl ected within cost of sales (EUR  million), R&D (EUR  mil-
lion), selling and marketing (EUR  million) and administrative 
expenses (EUR  million). Included in other expenses in  
is EUR  million restructuring charges previously refl ected 
within cost of sales (EUR  million), R&D (EUR  million), sell-
ing and marketing (EUR  million) and administrative expenses 
(EUR  million). 

Certain notes to the fi nancial statements include changes in 

presentation format. To allow meaningful comparison be-
tween years, comparative information have been aligned with 
current presentation format. 

ADOPTION OF PRONOUNCEMENTS UNDER IFRS 
In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and 
revised standards, amendments and interpretations to exist-

ing standards issued by the IASB that are relevant to its opera-
tions and eff ective for accounting periods commencing on or 
after January , . 

■  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.  

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 amendments 

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. 
Control 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 gov-
ern 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 
periods presented have been consolidated from the date on 
which 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 par-
ent, 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 
the 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 
allocated, on a reasonable and consistent basis, to the rel-
evant units. The aggregate total carrying amount of the unit, 
including 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 recognized 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 carrying amounts 
of derecognized net assets attributable to the equity holders 
of the parent and non-controlling interests of the disposed 
entity or business, adjusted by amounts previously recognized 
in other comprehensive income in relation to that entity or 
business.

FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY 
The fi nancial statements of all Group companies are measured 
using functional currency, which is the currency of the primary 
economic environment in which each of the companies oper-
ate. The consolidated 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 transactions. 
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 ex-
change prevailing at the end of the accounting period. Foreign 
exchange gains and losses arising from statement of fi nancial 
position items are reported in fi nancial income and expenses. 
Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses related to non-
current available-for-sale investments are recognized in other 
comprehensive income. 

FOREIGN GROUP COMPANIES 
In the consolidated accounts, all income and expenses of for-
eign Group companies, where the functional currency is other 
than euro, are translated into euro at the average monthly 
foreign exchange rates. All assets and liabilities of foreign 
Group companies are translated into euro at the year-end for-
eign 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 compre-
hensive income as translation diff erences within consolidated 
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 proportionate 
share of the translation diff erences is recognized as income or 
as expense when 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 transferred 
to the buyer, continuing managerial involvement usually as-
sociated 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 with re-
spect to the transaction can be measured reliably. The Group 
records reductions to revenue for special pricing agreements, 
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. License 
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 
dependable 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 assumptions 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 estimated 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 as they do not meet the criteria for capitalization. 

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

Employee benefi ts 

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 us-
ing interest rates on high quality corporate bonds with appro-
priate maturities. Actuarial gains and losses outside corridor 
are recognized over the average remaining service lives of em-
ployees. The corridor is defi ned as ten percent of the greater 
of the value of plan assets or defi ned benefi t obligation at the 
beginning of the respective year. Actuarial gains and losses 
within the corridor limits are not recognized. 

26

N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 2

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 nancial position is pension obligation at the closing date less 
the fair value of plan assets, 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. 

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. 

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 approxi-
mates actual cost on a FIFO (First-in First-out) basis. Net realiz-
able 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. 

TERMINATION BENEFITS 
Termination benefi ts are payable when employment is ter-
minated before the normal retirement date, or whenever an 
employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these 
benefi ts. The Group recognizes termination benefi ts when it is 
demonstrably committed to either terminating the employ-
ment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan 
without possibility of withdrawal, or providing termination 
benefi ts as a result of an off er made to encourage voluntary 
redundancy. 

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 

Light buildings and constructions 

Production machinery,

  measuring and test equipment 

Other machinery and equipment 

 –  years

 –  years

 –  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 

Financial assets 
The Group has classifi ed its fi nancial assets to the following 
categories: available-for-sale investments, loans and receiva-
bles, 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 projected 
cash needs of its on-going operations in highly liquid, interest-
bearing investments and certain equity instruments. The fol-
lowing investments are classifi ed as available-for-sale based 
on the purpose for acquiring the investments as well as ongo-
ing intentions: () Highly liquid fi xed income and money-market 
investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of 
cash with maturities at acquisition of  months or less, 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, which are technology related investments in pri-
vate 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, are carried at cost less impairment. 

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 calcu-
lated using the eff ective interest method as well as foreign 
exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are rec-
ognized 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 profi t and loss. The weighted average method is used 
when determining the cost basis of publicly listed equities be-
ing 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 im-
paired including, but not limited to, counterparty default and 
other factors causing a reduction in value that can be consid-
ered other than temporary. The cumulative net loss relating 
to that investment is removed from equity and recognized 
in profi t and loss. 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 profi t and loss. 

INVESTMENTS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT AND 
LOSS, LIQUID ASSETS 

Certain highly liquid fi nancial assets are designated as invest-
ments at fair value through profi t and loss, liquid assets, at 
inception. For these investments the following criteria must be 
met: () the designation eliminates or signifi cantly reduces the 
inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from meas-
uring 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 manage-
ment or investment strategy. 

 These investments are initially recognized and subsequent-
ly remeasured at fair value. Fair value adjustments and realized 
gains and losses are recognized in profi t and loss. 

LOANS RECEIVABLE 
Loans receivable include loans to customers and suppliers. 
Loans receivable are initially measured at fair value and subse-
quently at amortized cost less impairment using the eff ective 
interest method. Loans are subject to regular and thorough 
review as to their collectability and available collateral. In the 
event that a 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. Loan interest is 
recognized in interest income. 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 monthly review of all outstanding 
amounts where signifi cant doubt about collectability exists. 
Monthly review includes an analysis of historical bad debt, 
customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current 
economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms. 
Allowance for doubtful accounts is included in profi t and loss 
within other operating expenses. 

Financial liabilities 

COMPOUND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 
Compound fi nancial instruments have both a fi nancial liability 
and an equity component from the issuers’ perspective. The 
components are defi ned based on the terms of the fi nancial 
instrument and presented and measured separately accord-
ing to their substance. At initial recognition of a compound 
fi nancial instrument, the fi nancial liability component is 
recognized at fair value and residual amount is allocated to the 
equity component. This allocation is not revised subsequently. 
The Group has issued a convertible bond, which is a compound 
fi nancial instrument, and its fi nancial liability component is 
accounted for as a loan payable. 

LOANS PAYABLE 
Loans payable are recognized initially at fair value, net of 
transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods loans payable 
are measured at amortized cost using the eff ective interest 
method. Transaction costs and loan interest are recognized in 
interest expenses over the life of the instrument. The long-term 
portion of loans payable is included on the statement of fi nan-
cial position under long-term interest-bearing liabilities and the 
current portion under current portion of long-term loans. 

28

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 derivatives 
are designated under and qualify for 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 posi-
tion being hedged. 

DERIVATIVES NOT DESIGNATED IN HEDGE ACCOUNTING 
RELATIONSHIPS CARRIED AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH 
PROFIT AND LOSS 

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 us-
ing the Garman & Kohlhagen option valuation model. Changes 
in the fair value on these instruments are recognized in profi t 
and loss. 

Fair values of forward rate agreements, interest rate op-
tions, futures contracts and exchange traded options are cal-
culated based on quoted market rates at each balance sheet 
date. Discounted cash fl ow analyses are used to value interest 
rate and cross-currency interest rate swaps. Changes in the 
fair value of these contracts are recognized in profi t and loss. 
For derivatives not designated under hedge accounting but 

hedging identifi able exposures such as anticipated foreign 
currency denominated sales and purchases, the gains and 
losses are recognized in other operating income or expenses. 
The gains and losses on all other derivatives not designated 
under hedge accounting are recognized in fi nancial income and 
expenses. 

Embedded derivatives are identifi ed and monitored by the 

Group. Embedded derivatives are measured at fair valued 
at each balance sheet date with changes in the fair value are 
recognized in profi t and loss. 

Hedge accounting 
The Group applies hedge accounting on certain forward foreign 
exchange contracts, certain options or option strategies and 
certain interest rate derivatives. Qualifying options and option 
strategies have zero net premium or a net premium paid. For 
option structures the critical terms of the bought and sold op-

tions are the same and the nominal amount of the sold option 
component is no greater than that of the bought option. 

CASH FLOW HEDGES: HEDGING OF FORECAST 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 forecast 
foreign currency denominated sales and purchases that meet 
the following requirements. The cash fl ow being hedged must 
be “highly probable” and must present an exposure to varia-
tions in cash fl ows that could ultimately aff ect profi t or loss. 
The hedge must be highly eff ective both prospectively and 
retrospectively. 

For qualifying foreign exchange forwards, the change in 
fair value that refl ects the change in spot exchange rates is 
deferred in fair value and other reserves 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 
fair value and other reserves to the extent that the hedge is 
eff ective. In all cases, the ineff ective portion is recognized im-
mediately in profi t and loss 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 change in the time value for options, or op-
tions strategies, are recognized in other operating income or 
expenses. 

 Accumulated changes in fair value from qualifying hedges 

are released from fair value and other reserves to profi t 
and loss as adjustments to sales and cost of sales when the 
hedged cash fl ow aff ects profi t and loss. Forecast foreign 
currency sales and purchases aff ect profi t and loss at various 
dates up to approximately  year from the balance sheet date. 
If the hedged cash fl ow is no longer expected to occur, all 
deferred gains or losses are released immediately to profi t and 
loss as adjustments to sales and cost of sales. If the hedged 
cash fl ow ceases to be highly probable, but is still expected to 
occur, accumulated gains and losses remain in equity until the 
hedged cash fl ow aff ects profi t and loss. 

CASH FLOW HEDGES: HEDGING OF FOREIGN CURRENCY 
RISK OF HIGHLY PROBABLE BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS 
AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS 

From time to time the Group hedges the cash fl ow variability 
due to foreign currency risk inherent in highly probable busi-
ness 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 are trans-
ferred from fair value and other reserves and included in the 
initial acquisition cost of the asset. The deferred amounts are 
ultimately recognized in profi t and loss as a result of goodwill 
assessments in case of business acquisitions and through de-

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

29

preciation in case of other assets. In order to apply for hedge 
accounting, the forecast transactions must be highly probable 
and the hedges must be highly eff ective prospectively and 
retrospectively. 

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 certain variable rate liabilities. The 
eff ective portion of the gain or loss relating to interest rate 
swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is deferred in fair value 
and other reserves. The gain or loss related to the ineff ective 
portion is recognized immediately in profi t and loss 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 gains and losses on the hedging instruments 
recycled gradually to profi t and loss when the hedged variable 
interest cash fl ows aff ect profi t and loss. 

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 derivatives 
designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, together with 
any changes in the fair value of the hedged liabilities attrib-
utable to the hedged risk, are recorded in profi t and loss in 
fi nancial income and expenses. 

If a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge account-
ing, hedge accounting ceases and any fair value adjustments 
made to the carrying amount of the hedged item while the 
hedge was eff ective are amortized to profi t and 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 are eff ective both prospectively and retrospectively. 
For qualifying foreign exchange forwards, the change in 
fair value that refl ects the change in spot exchange rates is 
deferred in translation diff erences within consolidated share-
holder’s equity. The change in fair value that refl ects the 
change in forward exchange rates less the change in spot ex-
change rates is recognized in profi t and loss in fi nancial income 
and expenses. For qualifying foreign exchange options, the 
change in intrinsic value is deferred in translation diff erences 
within consolidated shareholder’s equity. Changes in the time 
value are at all times recognized directly in profi t and loss as 
fi nancial income and expenses. If a foreign currency denomi-
nated loan is used as a hedge, all foreign exchange gains and 
losses arising from the transaction are recognized in transla-

tion diff erences within consolidated shareholder’s equity. In 
all cases, the ineff ective portion is recognized immediately in 
profi t and loss as fi nancial income and expenses. 

Accumulated changes in fair value from qualifying hedges 
are released from translation diff erences 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 proportionate share of the changes in the fair value 
from qualifying hedges deferred in translation diff erences is 
recognized as income or as expense when the gain or loss on 
disposal is recognized. 

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 
income 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 nan-
cial 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 tax losses, unused tax 
credits 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 liabilities are off  set 
when there is a legally enforceable right to off  set current tax 
assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred tax 
assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same 
taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or diff er-
ent taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the 
balances on a net basis. 

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 
reimbursement 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 

30

N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 2

estimates at each balance sheet date. 

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 
A provision for tax contingencies is recognized when, despite 
our belief that tax return positions are supportable, it is more 
likely than not that certain positions will be challenged and 
may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities. Tax 
provisions are based upon the estimated future settlement 
amount at each balance sheet date. 

RESTRUCTURING PROVISIONS 
The Group provides for the estimated cost to restructure when 
a detailed formal plan of restructuring has been completed, 
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. 

Employee 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 recog-
nized as an expense in the income statement over the relevant 
service periods. 

A separate vesting period is defi ned for each quarterly stock 

options plan tranche. 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. 

The Group has also issued certain stock options which are 

accounted for as cash-settled. Related employee services 
received, and the liability incurred, are measured at the fair 
value of the liability. The fair value of stock options is estimat-
ed based on the reporting date market value less the exercise 
price of the stock options. The fair value of the liability is 
remeasured at each reporting date and at the date of set-
tlement and related change in fair value is recognized in the 
income statement over the relevant service periods. 

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 recorded 
in the fi nancial statements until they have been approved by 
the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. 

Earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profi t 
attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted 
average number of shares outstanding during the year exclud-
ing shares purchased by the Group and held as treasury shares. 
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the net 
profi t attributable to equity holders of the parent to eliminate 
the interest expense of the convertible bond and by adjusting 
the weighted average number of the shares outstanding with 
the dilutive eff ect of stock options, performance shares and 
restricted shares outstanding during the year as well as the 
assumed conversion of convertible bond. 

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 transferred 
to the buyer, continuing managerial involvement usually as-
sociated 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. 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. Deter-
mination 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 separately 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 future profi ts. 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 es-
timated losses resulting from subsequent inability of custom-
ers to make required payments. If the fi nancial conditions of 
customers were to deteriorate, reducing their ability to make 
payments, additional allowances may be required. 

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 esti-
mates 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 past costs related 
to alleged asserted IPR infringements. The provision is an 
estimate calculated based on a probable outcome of potential 
future settlement. 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. 

RESTRUCTURING PROVISIONS 

32

N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 2

 
The Group provides for the estimated future cost related to 
restructuring programs. The provision made for restructuring 
is based on management’s best estimate. Changes in esti-
mates of timing or amounts of costs to be incurred may be-
come necessary as the restructuring program is implemented. 

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 identifi -
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 
expected future cash fl ows attributable to the asset or cash-
generating unit discounted to present value. The key assump-
tions 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 opera-
tional 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 and embed-
ded derivatives) are determined using various valuation 
techniques. The Group uses judgment to select an appropri-
ate valuation methodology as well as underlying assumptions 
based on existing market practice and conditions. Changes in 
these assumptions may cause the Group to recognize impair-
ments 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 
necessary. 

Tax provisions are recognized based on estimates and 
assumptions when, despite of management’s belief that tax 
return positions are supportable, it is more likely than not 
that certain positions will be challenged and may not be fully 
sustained upon review by tax authorities. Furthermore, the 
Group has ongoing tax investigations in multiple jurisdictions, 
including Hungary and India. If the fi nal outcome of these mat-
ters diff ers from the amounts initially recorded, diff erences 
may impact the income tax expense in the period in which such 
determination is made. 

In Netherlands but also in certain other jurisdictions, the 

utilization of deferred tax assets is dependent 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 available in the 
future from which the reversal of temporary diff erences 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 assumptions 
and actuarial conditions may materially aff ect the pension 
benefi t obligation and future expense. See also Note . 

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION 
The Group operates various types of equity and cash-settled 
share-based compensation schemes for employees. Fair value 
of equity settled stock options is based on certain assump-
tions, including, among others, expected volatility and expect-
ed 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, 
employee 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 

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

and fi nancial position: 

other comprehensive income. 

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. A party to a joint arrangement determines the type of 
joint arrangement in which it is involved by assessing its rights 
and obligations and accounts for those rights and obligations 
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. 

 Amended IAS  Employee Benefi ts discontinues use of the 
‘corridor’ approach and remeasurement impacts will be recog-
nized in other comprehensive income. Net interest as a prod-
uct of discount rate and net pension liability will be recognized 
in the income statements while eff ect from the diff erence 
between the discount rate and actual return on plan assets will 
be refl ected in remeasurements within other comprehensive 
income. Previously unrecognized actuarial gains and losses 
are also recognized in other comprehensive income. Other 
long-term employee benefi ts are required to be measured in 
the same way even though changes in the recognized amounts 
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. 
The Group does not currently expect the adoption of the 

amended IAS  to have a material impact on the fi nancial 
condition and the results of operations of the Group on a 
going forward basis. However, the standard requires retro-
spective application for all fi nancial statements presented 
including previous years. While the Group anticipates virtually 
no impact to prior period income statements as a result of the 
retrospective application, the Group expects change in the 
net pension liabilities and other comprehensive income due to 
the elimination of the ‘corridor approach’. For , there will 
be an approximately EUR  million (EUR  million for ) 
increase in our pension liabilities and approximately EUR  
million (EUR  million for ) decrease, net of tax, in our 

The eff ective date for IFRS , IFRS  and IFRS  is 

January , , as issued by the IASB. In December , the 
EU endorsed adoption of these standards for companies in the 
EU with mandatory eff ective date of January , , earlier 
adoption permitted. The Group will early adopt these stand-
ards on January ,  and will adopt IFRS  and 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 standards on the revised eff ective date. 

Excluding the impacts of the Amended IAS  Employee 
Benefi ts, the Group does not expect material impact from 
adoption of the other standards eff ective January , . 

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 
excludes 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 oper-
ating profi t/contribution. 

Smart Devices focuses on Nokia’s most advanced prod-
ucts, including smartphones powered by the Windows Phone 
system and has profi t-and-loss responsibility and end-to-end 
accountability for the full consumer experience, including 
product development, product management and product 
marketing. 

Mobile Phones focuses on the area of mass market entry 
and feature phones as well as aff ordable smart phones and has 
profi t-and-loss responsibility and end-to-end accountability 
for the full consumer experience, including development, man-
agement and marketing of feature phone products, services 
and applications. 

Devices & Services Other includes net sales of spare parts 

and related cost of sales and operating expenses, as well as 
intellectual property related income and common research

amount of the platform support payment will fl uctuate based 
on the applicable foreign exchange translation of the 
US dollars into euro which is the Group’s reporting currency. 
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 roy-
alty commitments. At the end of , the amount of platform 
support payments received by Nokia has exceeded the amount 
of minimum software royalty commitment payments made to 
Microsoft and the remaining minimum software royalty com-
mitment payments are expected to exceed the remaining plat-
form support payments by a total of approximately EUR . 
billion over the remaining life of the agreement. In accordance 
with the terms of the agreement, the platform support pay-
ments and annual minimum software royalty commitment 
payments continue for a corresponding period of time. The 
Group has recognized a portion of the received platform sup-
port payments as a benefi t to our Smart Devices cost of goods 
sold and the remainder within accrued expenses and other 
liabilities. The Microsoft partnership also recognizes the value 
of intellectual property and puts in place mechanisms for 
exchanging intellectual property rights. 

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 par-
ties, that is, at current market prices. 

No single customer represents % or more of Group 

revenues. 

and development expenses. Devices & Services Other also 
included operating results of Nokia’s luxury phone business 
Vertu until October , , the date of divestment. 

Net assets of Devices & Services Other consists of the as-
sets and liabilities related to the above mentioned activities 
as well as common functions responsible for selling Nokia’s 
products, executing marketing and communications, sourc-
ing, manufacturing and logistics across all Devices & Services 
products which have not been allocated to Smart Devices and 
Mobile Phones segments. 

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 responsibility and end-to-end accountability for the full 
consumer experience. In November , we introduced HERE 
as the new brand for Nokia’s location and mapping service. 
Also, as of January , , Location & Commerce business and 
reportable segment has been renamed as the HERE reportable 
business and segment. HERE focuses on the development of 
location-based services and local commerce. 

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 

Microsoft to bring together the respective complementary as-
sets and expertise of both parties to build a new global mobile 
ecosystem 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 engineering 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. 

In recognition of the contributions that the Group is provid-

ing, the Group will receive quarterly platform support pay-
ments from Microsoft. The amount of the quarterly platform 
support payment is USD  million for each quarter. The euro

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), formly 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 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 returns, current market conditions and strategic 
asset allocation.

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.

benefi t from the synergies of the business combination in 
which the goodwill arose. The Group has allocated goodwill to 
the cash-generating units, which correspond to the Group’s 
reportable segments at each of the respective years’ impair-
ment testing date, as presented in the table below:

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 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 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. 

The recoverable amount of the Location & Commerce CGU 

exceeds its carrying amount by a small margin in the fourth 
quarter . The related valuation is deemed most sensitive 
to the changes in both discount and long-term growth rates. 
A discount rate increase in excess of . percentage point 
or long-term growth decline in excess of  percentage point 
would result in impairment loss in the Location & Commerce 
CGU. Management’s estimates of the overall automotive vol-
umes and market share, customer adoption of the new loca-
tion-based platform and related service off erings, projected 
device sales volumes and fair value of the services sold within 
the Group as well as continued focus on cost effi  ciency are 
the main drivers for the Location & Commerce net cash fl ow 
projections. The Group’s cash fl ow forecasts refl ect the cur-
rent strategic views that license fee based models will remain 
important in both near and long term. Management expects 
that license fee based models which are augmented with soft-
ware and services and monetized via license fees, transactions 
fees and advertising, will grow in the future as more customers 
demand complete, end-to-end location solutions. Actual short 
and long-term performance could vary from management’s 
forecasts and impact future estimates of recoverable value. 
Since the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount 
only by a small margin, any material adverse changes such as 
market deterioration or changes in the competitive landscape 
could impact management’s estimates of the main drivers and 
result in impairment loss. 

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 
allocated to the Location & Commerce CGU was reduced to 
EUR   million at December , . 

The impairment charge was 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 included 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 was 
estimated based on peer market data for mobile advertising 
revenue. Projected device sales volumes impacted the overall 
forecasted intercompany and advertising revenues. This took 
into consideration the market dynamics in digital map data 
and related location-based content markets, including the 
Group’s long-term view at the time of  impairment test-
ing, that the market will move from fee-based models towards 
advertising-based models especially in some more mature 
markets. It also refl ected recent results and related competi-
tive factors in local search and advertising markets resulting in 
lower estimated growth prospects from location-based assets 
integrated with diff erent advertising platforms. After consid-
eration 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’s goodwill impairment testing did not result in 
impairment charges for the years ended December ,  
or . An impairment loss was recorded with respect to the 
Group’s Location & Commerce CGU in , as noted above. No 
further impairment charges were recorded with respect to the 
other CGUs in . 

Other intangible assets 
During , EUR  million impairment charge was recorded on 
certain technology assets due to obsolescense within Mobile 
Phones. Furthermore, a charge of EUR  million was recorded 
on intangible assets attributable to the decision to transition 
certain operations into maintenance mode within Nokia Sie-
mens Networks. All charges were recorded in other operating 
expenses. 

Property, plant and equipment and inventories 
During , the Group recognized EUR  million impairment 
losses related to restructuring activities mainly with respect to 
its Salo, Finland and Komarom, Hungary facilities within other 
operating expenses of Devices & Services Other. Nokia Sie-
mens Networks recorded an impairment loss of EUR  million 
to refl ect non-current assets of Optical Networks business at 
market value, in anticipation of sale of the business. 

Majority of  impairment losses recognized with respect 

to property, plant and equipment resulted from EUR  mil-

lion 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 asso-
ciated companies to its recoverable amount. The charges were 
recorded in other operating expense. 

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

9.  ACQUISITIONS 

Acquisitions completed in 2012 
During , the Group completed minor acquisitions that 
did not have a material impact on the consolidated fi nancial 
statements. The purchase consideration paid and the total of 
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. 

■  Scalado AB, based in Lund, Sweden, provides and develops 
imaging software and experiences. The Group acquired im-
aging specialists, all technologies and intellectual property 
from Scalado AB on July , . 

■  earthmine Inc., based in California, USA, develops systems to 
collect and process D imagery. The Group acquired a % 
ownership interest in earthmine on November , . 

Acquisitions completed in 2011 

MOTOROLA 
On April , , Nokia Siemens Networks completed its ac-
quisition of Motorola Solutions’ networks business in exchange 
for a total consideration of EUR  million. The acquired busi-
ness 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 
Nokia Siemens Networks’ position in certain regions, particu-
larly 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 assembled workforce. 
The majority of the goodwill acquired is expected to be de-
ductible for income tax purposes.

In , Nokia Siemens Networks had concluded on a work-
ing capital adjustment settlement with respect to the acquisi-
tion whereby Motorola Solutions agreed to make additional 
installment payments to Nokia Siemens Networks. The install-
ment payments were subject to certain conditions that Nokia 
Siemens Networks must fulfi l over a given time period. The 
maximum amount of installment payments receivable totalled 
EUR  million and Nokia Siemens Networks had determined 
that the fair value of the installment payments amounted to 
EUR  million. During , the working capital adjustment 
arrangement has been settled and Nokia Siemens Networks 
received the maximum amount of installment payments. As a 
result, EUR  million gain has been recognized in other operat-
ing income. 

The fair value of accounts receivable of EUR  million 
includes trade receivables with a fair value of EUR  mil-
lion. The gross contractual amount for trade receivables due 
is EUR  million, of which EUR  million is expected to be 
uncollectible. 

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 Solutions’ networks business of EUR  million 
and EUR  million, respectively. 

Had Motorola Solutions’ networks business been consoli-
dated from January , , the Group consolidated statement 
of income for  would have shown revenue of EUR   
million and loss of EUR   million. This unaudited 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.

impairments for these securities amounted to EUR  million in  and 
EUR  million in . Additional information can be found in Note  and 
Note . 

During , interest income decreased mainly as a result 

of lower cash levels than in  and lower interest rates in 
certain currencies where the Group has investments. Foreign 
exchange gains (or losses) were negatively impacted by higher 
hedging costs than in  as well as signifi cant weakening of 
certain emerging market currencies. 

During , interest income increased mainly as a result

interest rates in EUR and USD had a positive impact on Net fair

impact on Net gains (or losses) on other derivatives desig-
nated at fair value through profi t and loss that was aff ected 
by similar factors. Foreign exchange gains (or losses) were 
positively impacted by low and in some cases negative hedging

In , this item primarily relates to Devices & Services’ past and current 
year Finnish tax losses, unused tax credits and temporary differences and 
Nokia Siemens Networks’ Finnish and German tax losses, unused tax cred-
its and temporary differences for which no deferred tax was recognized. 
In  and , this item primarily relates to Nokia Siemens Networks’ 
Finnish tax losses, unused tax credits and temporary differences for 
which no deferred tax was recognized. In , it also includes benefit of 
 million from reassessment of recoverability of deferred tax assets in 
Nokia Siemens Networks. 

 

In , taxes on undistributed earnings mainly relates to changes to tax 
rates applicable to profit distributions. 

Certain of the Group companies’ income tax returns for 
prior periods are under examination by tax authorities. Our 
business and investments especially in emerging market coun-
tries may be subject to uncertainties, including unfavorable 
or unpredictable taxation treatment. Management judgment 
and a degree of estimation are required in determining tax 
expense. Even though the Group does not believe that any 
signifi cant additional taxes in excess of those already pro-
vided for will arise as a result of the examinations, it cannot be 
excluded that fi nal resolutions of open items may substantially 
diff er from the amounts initially recorded.

  For information about the valuation of items measured at fair value see 

Note . The fair value is set to carrying amount for available-for-sale invest-
ments carried at cost less impairment for which no reliable fair value has 
been possible to estimate. The fair value of loan receivables and payables is 
estimated based on the current market values of similar instruments. The 
fair value is estimated to be equal to the carrying amount for short-term 
financial assets and financial liabilities due to limited credit risk and short 
time to maturity. 

The following table presents the valuation methods used to de-
termine fair values of fi nancial instruments carried at fair value:

   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 mate-
rial assumptions are market observable. The majority of the 
Group’s over-the-counter derivatives and certain other instru-
ments 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 following table shows a reconciliation of the open-
ing and closing balances of Level  fi nancial assets which are 
measured at fair value:

In the statement of financial position the fair value of derivative financial 
instruments is included in Other financial assets and in 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.

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 accrued 

interest income and various other prepaid expenses and 
accrued income, but no amounts which are individually 
signifi cant.

23.  THE SHARES OF THE PARENT COMPANY 

Nokia shares and shareholders 

Authorizations 

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 

Corporation 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 

Corporation does not have minimum or maximum share capi-
tal or a par value of a share. 

AUTHORIZATION TO INCREASE THE SHARE CAPITAL 
At the Annual General Meeting held on May , , Nokia 
shareholders 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 would have 
been eff ective 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 , . 

AUTHORIZATIONS PROPOSED TO THE ANNUAL 
GENERAL MEETING 2013 

On January , , Nokia announced that the Board of Direc-
tors will propose that the Annual General Meeting convening 
on May ,  authorize the Board to resolve to repurchase a 
maximum of  million Nokia shares. The proposed maximum 
number of shares that may be repurchased 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 arrange-
ments, settle the company’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 in such marketplaces the 
rules of which allow companies to trade with their own shares. 
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 , . 

Nokia also announced on January ,  that the Board 
of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting to be 
held on May ,  that the Annual General Meeting authorize 
the Board to resolve to issue a maximum of  million shares 
through issuance of shares or special rights entitling to shares 
(including stock options) in one or more issues. The Board may 
issue either new shares or shares held by the Company. The 
Board proposes that the authorization may be used to develop 
the Company’s capital structure, diversify the shareholder 
base, fi nance or carry out acquisitions or other arrangements, 
settle the Company’s equity-based incentive plans, or for other 
purposes resolved by the Board. The proposed authorization 

includes the right for the Board to resolve on all the terms and 
conditions of the issuance of shares and special rights entitling 
to shares, including issuance in deviation from the sharehold-
ers’ pre-emptive rights. The authorization would be eff ective 
until June ,  and terminate the current authorization 
granted by the Annual General Meeting on May , . 

24.  SHARE-BASED PAYMENT 

The Group has several equity-based incentive plans for 
employees. The plans 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 per-
formance 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 two global stock option plans, 
the Stock Option Plans  and , each of which, includ-
ing 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 Plan  have a vesting 
schedule with % of the options vesting one year after grant 
and .% each quarter thereafter. The stock options granted 
under the  plan have a term of approximately 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 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 plans, which were approved by the share-
holders at the respective Annual General Meetings  and 
. 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

subscription prices based on the exercises of stock options are 
recorded in the reserve for invested non-restricted equity as

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 Nokia shares will be delivered unless 
the Group’s performance reaches at least one of the threshold 
levels measured by two independent, pre-defi ned performance 
criteria. The below table illustrates the performance criteria of 
the Performance Share Plans from  through .

The ,  and  plans have a three-year perfor-
mance period. The shares vest after the respective perfor-
mance period. The  plan has a two-year performance 
period and a subsequent one-year restriction period, after 
which the shares vest. The shares will be delivered to the par-
ticipants as soon as practicable after they vest. Until the Nokia 
shares are delivered, the participants will not have any share-
holder rights, such as voting or dividend rights associated with 
the performance shares. The performance share grants are 
generally forfeited if the employment relationship terminates 
with Nokia prior to vesting. The term “vesting” means that the 
performance period and/or restriction period specifi ed in the 
plan rules has ended and does not indicate that actual share 
delivery took place.

 as neither of the threshold performance criteria of EPS 
and Average Annual Net Sales Growth of this plan was met. 
There was no settlement under the one-time special CEO 
incentive program as the performance criteria were not met. 

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 on a selective basis to ensure 
retention and recruitment of individuals with functional mas-
tery and other employees deemed critical to Nokia’s future 
success. 

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.

Other equity plans for employees 
In addition to the global equity plans described above, Nokia 
has equity plans for Nokia acquired businesses or employees in 
the United States and Canada under which participants can re-
ceive Nokia ADSs or ordinary shares. These equity plans do not 

result in an increase in the reserve for invested non-restricted 
equity of Nokia. On the basis of these plans, the Group had . 
million 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  –  was approx-
imately  million, all of which have 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. The plan will be ramped-down 
during  as a new global Employee Share Purchase Plan will 
be implemented as described below. 

During   –  , Nokia had a one-time special CEO incen-

tive program designed to align the CEO’s compensation to 
increased shareholder value and to link a meaningful portion 
of CEO’s compensation directly to the performance of Nokia’s 
share price over the period of  – . Mr. Elop had 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 . As the minimum performance for neither of the two 
performance criterion was reached, no share delivery took 
place. The number of shares earned and to be settled may be 
adjusted by the Board of Directors under certain exceptional 
circumstances up until June , , should the results sig-
nifi cantly change. 

On January ,  Nokia introduced an Employee Share 
Purchase Plan, which is planned to be off ered in  countries 
to all Nokia employees (excluding Nokia Siemens Networks’ 
employees). Under the Plan, the eligible Nokia employees 
can elect to make monthly contributions from their salary to 
purchase Nokia shares. The contribution per employee cannot 
exceed EUR   per year. The share purchases will be made at 
market value on pre-determined dates on a monthly basis dur-
ing a -month savings period. Nokia will off er one matching 
share for every two purchased shares the employee still holds 
after the last monthly purchase has been made in June . 
In addition,  free shares will be delivered to employees who 
make the fi rst three consecutive monthly share purchases. 
The participation in the plan is voluntary to the employees. 

Nokia Siemens Networks established a share-based incen-
tive program in  under which options for Nokia Siemens 
Networks B.V. shares are granted to selected Nokia Siemens 
Networks’ employees. The options generally become exercis-
able on the fourth anniversary of the grant date or, if earlier, 
on the occurrence of certain corporate transactions, such as

initial public off ering (“IPO”). The exercise price of the options 
is based on a per share value on grant as determined for the 
purposes of the incentive program. The options will be cash-
settled at exercise unless an IPO has taken place, at which 
point they would be converted into equity-settled options. If 
an IPO has not taken place by the sixth anniversary of the grant 
date, Nokia Siemens Networks will cash out any remaining op-
tions. If an IPO has taken place, equity options remain exercis-
able until the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The fair 
value of the liability is determined based on the estimated fair 
value of shares less the exercise price of the options on the 
reporting date. The total carrying amount for liabilities arising 
from share-based payment transactions is EUR  million at 
December , . 

The recognition of the remaining deferred tax assets is sup-

ported by off  setting deferred tax liabilities, earnings history 
and profi t projections in the relevant jurisdictions. 

At December , , the Group had undistributed earn-
ings of EUR  million (EUR  million in ) on which no 
deferred tax liability has been formed as these will not reverse 
in the foreseeable future.

   In , other temporary differences included a deferred tax liability of 
EUR  million arising from purchase price allocation related to Nokia 
Siemens Networks and NAVTEQ. In  the deferred tax liabilities for 
these two items were nil. 

At December , , the Group had tax losses carry forward 
of EUR   million (EUR   million in ) of which EUR 
  million will expire within  years (EUR  million in ). 

At December , , the Group had tax losses carry 

forward, temporary diff erences and tax credits of EUR   
million (EUR   million in ) for which no deferred tax 
asset was recognized due to uncertainty of utilization of these 
items. EUR   million of those will expire within  years (EUR

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 February , Nokia announced planned changes at its 

factories in Komarom, Hungary, Reynosa, Mexico and Salo, 
Finland to increase effi  ciency in smartphone manufacturing. 
In June , Nokia announced additional actions to align its 
workforce and operations. The planned actions was expected 
to lead to a total reduction of up to   positions glob-
ally by the end of . As part of this Nokia planned to make 
signifi cant reductions in certain R&D projects, which resulted 
in the closure of Ulm in Germany and Burnaby, Canada; reduce 
factory operations, including the closure of the factory in 
Salo; prioritize sales eff orts around certain markets resulting 
in reducing headcount in certain other markets; align sup-
port functions around Nokia’s focused strategy resulting in a 
signifi cant reduction in the number of employees in corporate 
functions. As a result, Devices & Services recognized restruc-
turing charges of EUR  million in total. 

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 in-
cludes reductions in Sales and Marketing and Corporate func-
tions in line with Nokia’s earlier announcement in April . 
The measures also include the closure of Nokia’s manufactur-
ing facility in Cluj, Romania, which – together with adjustments 
to supply chain operations – has aff ected approximately   
employees. As a result, Devices & Services recognized restruc-
turing charges of EUR  million in total. 

In , Location & Commerce announced further plans to 
reduce its workforce and as a result recognized restructuring 
charges of EUR  million in total. 

In September , Nokia announced a plan to concentrate 

the development eff orts of the Location & Commerce busi-
ness in Berlin, Germany and Boston and Chicago in the U.S., 
and other supporting sites and plans to close its operations 
in Bonn, Germany and Malvern, U.S. As a result, Location & 
Commerce recognized restructuring charges of EUR  million. 
In November , Nokia Siemens Networks announced a 
new strategy to focus on mobile broadband and services and 
the launch of an extensive global restructuring program. At 
the same time, Nokia Siemens Networks announced its inten-
tion to reduce its global workforce by approximately   by 
the end of . 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 country 
and contract exits based on Nokia Siemens Networks’ strategy 
that focuses on key markets and product segments. 

The IPR provision is based on estimated potential future 
settlements for asserted past IPR infringements. Final resolu-
tion of IPR claims generally occurs over several periods. 

Material liability provision relates to non-cancellable pur-
chase commitments with suppliers. The outfl ows are expected 
to occur over the next  months.

 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. 

Other provisions include provisions for various contractual 
obligations and provisions for pension and other social secu-
rity costs on share-based awards.

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 
impact in the future but were currently excluded from the 
calculation because they were determined anti-dilutive. 

The convertible bond includes a voluntary conversion op-
tion. Based on the initial conversion price, voluntary conver-
sion of the entire bond would result in the issue of  million 
shares. The potential shares related to the bond as well as the 
interest on the convertible bond were currently excluded from 
the calculation of dilutive shares because they were deter-
mined to be anti-dilutive at December , .

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profi t 
attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted 
average number of shares outstanding during the year exclud-
ing shares purchased by the Group and held as treasury shares. 
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the profi t 
attributable to equity holders of the parent to eliminate the 
interest expense of the convertible bond and by adjusting the 
weighted average number of shares outstanding with the dilu-
tive eff ect of stock options, performance shares and restricted 
shares outstanding during the year as well as the assumed 
conversion of convertible bond. 

In , stock options equivalent to  million shares ( 
million in  and  million in ) were excluded from the 

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

Other guarantees include commercial 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 infrastructure 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 decreased mainly due to expired 
guarantees.

31.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 

At December , , the Group had borrowings amounting 
to EUR  million (EUR  million in ) from Nokia Unterstüt-
zungskasse GmbH, the Group’s German pension fund, which is 
a separate legal entity. The loan bears interest at % annum 
and its duration is pending until further notice by the loan 
counterparts who have the right to terminate the loan with a 
 day notice. 

There were no loans granted to the members of the Nokia 
Leadership Team and the Board of Directors at December , 
,  or .

At December , , the Group has an outstanding fi nan-
cial guarantee of EUR  million for an associated company of 
the Group. 

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

Financing commitments of EUR  million in  (EUR  
million in ) are available under loan facilities negotiated 
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 con-
tributions and also entitled to cash distributions according 
to respective partnership agreements and underlying fund 
activities. 

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. Over the lifetime of the 
agreement the total amount of the platform support pay-
ments is expected to slightly exceed the total amount of the 
minimum software royalty commitments. 

The Group is party to routine litigation incidental to the nor-
mal 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, viola-
tions of licensing arrangements and other intellectual proper-
ty related matters, as well as actions with respect to products, 
contracts and securities. Based on the information currently 
available, 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. 

30.  LEASING CONTRACTS 

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.

did not engage in any material non-cash investing activities in 
 and . 

Pension arrangements of certain
Nokia Leadership Team members 
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 earn-
ings, 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. The Nokia Leadership Team 
members in the United States participate in Nokia’s US 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 year of the fi rst four years of their employment. The 
Nokia Leadership Team members in Germany participate in 
the Nokia German Pension Plan that is % company funded. 
Contributions are based on pensionable earnings, the pen-
sion table and retirement age. For the Nokia Leadership Team 
members in UK, the pension accrued in the UK Pension Scheme 
is a Money Purchase benefi t. Contributions are paid into the 
UK Pension Scheme by both the member and employer. These 
contributions are held within the UK Pension Scheme and are 
invested in funds selected by the member. 

Termination benefi ts of the President and CEO 
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 accelerated 
manner (the performance period of Nokia Performance Share 
Plan  ended in  and no shares were delivered in ac-
cordance with its terms). 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 incen-
tive 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 employment upon a material reduction of his duties and re-
sponsibilities, upon which he will be entitled to a compensation 
of  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 eq-
uity 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-com-
petition period or a part of it. Such compensation amounts to

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.

34.  RISK MANAGEMENT 

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 
suffi  cient funding for the Group at all times, and to identify, 
evaluate and manage fi nancial risks. Treasury activities sup-
port this aim by mitigating the adverse eff ects caused by 
fl uctuations in the fi nancial markets on the profi tability of the 
underlying businesses and by managing the capital structure 
of the Group by prudently balancing the levels of liquid assets 
and fi nancial borrowings. 

Treasury activities are governed by the Treasury Policy 
approved by the CEO, that provides principles for overall 
fi nancial risk management and determines the allocation 
of responsibilities for fi nancial risk management in Nokia. 
Standard Operating Procedures approved by the CFO cover 
specifi c areas such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, 
credit and liquidity risk as well as use of derivative fi nancial 
instruments in managing these risks. Nokia is risk averse in its 
Treasury activities. 

Financial risks are divided into (a) market risk (covering for-
eign exchange risk, interest risk and equity price risk), (b) credit 
risk (covering business related credit risk and fi nancial credit 
risk) and (c) liquidity risk. 

A)  MARKET  RISK 

Methodology for assessing market risk 
exposures: 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. 

Foreign exchange risk 
Nokia operates globally and is exposed to transactional and 
translational foreign exchange risks. Transaction risk arises 
from foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities 
together with foreign currency denominated future cash fl ows. 
Transaction exposures are managed in the context of various 
functional currencies of foreign Group companies. 

 According to the foreign exchange policy guidelines of the 
Group, which remains the same as in the previous year, mate-
rial transactional 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 ex-
change contracts 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 fore-
cast foreign currency cash fl ows beyond two years. 

Since Nokia has subsidiaries outside the euro zone, transla-
tion risk arises from the euro-denominated value of the share-
holders’ equity of foreign Group companies being exposed to 
fl uctuations in exchange rates. Equity changes resulting from 
movements in foreign exchange rates are shown as a transla-
tion diff erence in the Group consolidation. 

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-

   The FX derivatives are used to hedge the foreign exchange risk from 

forecast highly probable cashflows related to sales, purchases and busi-
ness 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. The underlying 
exposures for which these hedges are entered into are not presented in 
the table, as they are not financial instruments. 

   The FX derivatives are used to hedge the Group’s net investment expo-
sure. The underlying exposures for which these hedges are entered into 
are not presented in the table, as they are not financial instruments. 

  The balance sheet items and some probable forecast 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 profit and loss. 

 The VaR fi gures for the Group’s fi nancial instruments which 

are sensitive to foreign exchange risks are presented in the 
table below. The VaR calculation includes foreign currency 
denominated monetary fi nancial instruments such as: 

■  Available-for-sale investments, loans and accounts receiva-
bles, 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.

Interest rate risk 
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk either through 
market 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.

Business related credit risk 
The Group aims to ensure highest possible quality in accounts 
receivable and loans due from customers and other third par-
ties. Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks Credit Policies (both 
approved by the respective Leadership Teams) lay out the 
framework for the management of the business related credit 
risks in Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks. 

Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks Credit Policies provide 
that credit decisions are based on credit evaluation including 
credit rating for larger exposures. Nokia and Nokia Siemens 
Networks Rating Policies defi ne the rating principles. Ratings 
are approved by Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks Rating 
Committees. Credit risks are approved and monitored accord-
ing to the credit policy of each business entity. When ap-
propriate, credit risks are mitigated with the use of approved 
instruments, such as letters of credit, collateral or insurance 
and sale of selected receivables.

Credit exposure is measured as the total of accounts receiv-

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. The 
VaR for the Group interest rate exposure in the investment and 
debt portfolios is presented in the table below. Sensitivities to 
credit spreads are not refl ected in the below numbers.

Equity price risk 
Nokia’s exposure to equity price risk is related to certain pub-
licly listed equity shares. 

The fair value of these investments at December ,  
was EUR  million (EUR  million in ). The VaR for the Group 
equity investment in publicly traded companies is insignifi cant. 

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 credit exposures to customers, 
including outstanding receivables, fi nancial guarantees and 
committed transactions as well as fi nancial institutions, includ-
ing bank and cash, fi xed income and money-market investments 
and derivative fi nancial instruments. 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 the Group’s balance sheet: 

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

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

 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 
). These aforementioned amounts are relative to total net 
accounts receivable and loans due from customers and other 
third parties of EUR   in  (EUR   million in ). 

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

In , Nokia adjusted the way aging credit notes are taken 
into account when calculating past due receivables presented 
in the table above. This adjustment has increased the amounts 
of past due receivables compared to the method used by 
Nokia in . 

Financial credit risk 
Financial instruments contain an element of risk resulting from 
changes in market price of such instruments due to counter-
parties becoming less creditworthy or risk of loss due to coun-
terparties that are unable to meet their obligations. This risk is 
measured and monitored centrally by Treasury. 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 creditworthiness and exposure sizes continu-

ously. Nokia also enters into netting arrangements (which 
gives Nokia the right to off  set in the event that the counter-
party would not be able to fulfi ll the obligations) with all major 
counterparties as well as collateral agreements (which require 
counterparties to post collateral against derivative receiva-
bles) 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 a 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 in the years presented.

ing fi xed income and money market investments by sector and

  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 
contractual or legal obligations. 

  Bank parent company ratings used here for bank groups. In some emerg-
ing markets countries actual bank subsidiary ratings may differ from 
parent company rating. 

% of Nokia’s cash in bank accounts is held with banks of 

investment grade credit rating (% for ). 

C) LIQUIDITY RISK 
Liquidity risk is defi ned as fi nancial distress or extraordinarily 
high fi nancing costs arising due to a shortage of liquid funds 
in a situation where outstanding debt needs to be refi nanced 
or where business conditions unexpectedly deteriorate 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.

The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain 

Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying business, Nokia 

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 aims to secure suffi  cient liquidity at all times by ef-
fi cient cash management and by investing in short-term liquid 
interest bearing securities. Depending on overall liquidity 
position Nokia aims to pre- or refi nance upcoming debt ma-
turities before contractual maturity dates. The transactional 
liquidity risk is minimized by entering into transactions where 
proper two-way quotes can be obtained from the market. 

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 
respective credit facilities independently and facilities do 
not include cross-default clauses between Nokia and Nokia 
Siemens Networks or any forms of guarantees from either 
party. At the end of December , , the Group’s commit-
ted revolving credit facilities totaled EUR   million (EUR 
  million in ).

All Nokia borrowings specifi ed above are senior unsecured 

and have no fi nancial covenants. All borrowings, apart from 
EIB R&D loan, are used for general corporate purposes. 

All Nokia Siemens Networks borrowings specifi ed above are 

senior unsecured and include fi nancial covenants relating to 
fi nancial leverage and interest coverage of the Nokia Siemens 
Networks. As at year end  all fi nancial covenants were 
satisfi ed. All borrowings, apart from EIB and Nordic Investment 
bank R&D loans, are used for general corporate purposes. 
 Nokia has not guaranteed any of the Nokia Siemens

Nokia. All Nokia Siemens Networks Finance B.V. borrowings 
above are guaranteed by Nokia Siemens Networks Oy and/or 
Nokia Siemens Networks BV. 

In October , Nokia issued a EUR  million convert-
ible bond that matures in October . The bond includes a 
voluntary conversion option starting from December  until 
maturity. Based on initial conversion price, voluntary conversion 
of the entire bond would result in the issue of  million shares. 
In December , Nokia Siemens Networks entered into a 

EUR   million committed forward starting credit facility ef-
fective from the forward start date of June , . By April  
the committed facility had been increased to EUR   million. 
The facility replaced EUR   million revolving credit facility 
from  that matured in June . EUR   million commit-
ted facility comprised in two equal parts, EUR  million revolv-
ing credit facility maturing in June  and EUR  million term 
loan maturing in June . In December , EUR  million 
of the term loan was prepaid and the maturity of the remaining 
EUR  million term loan was extended to March . 

Of the Nokia Siemens Networks’ EUR Finnish Pension Loan,

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 condi-
tions. The objective is to ensure that hazard risks, whether 
related to physical assets (e.g. buildings) or intellectual assets 
(e.g. Nokia brand) or potential liabilities (e.g. product liability) 
are optimally insured taking into account both cost and reten-
tion 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 Leadership Team members 
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 earn-
ings, 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. The Nokia Leadership Team 
members in the United States participate in Nokia’s US 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 year of the fi rst four years of their employment. The 
Nokia Leadership Team members in Germany participate in 
the Nokia German Pension Plan that is % company funded. 
Contributions are based on pensionable earnings, the pen-
sion table and retirement age. For the Nokia Leadership Team 
members in UK, the pension accrued in the UK Pension Scheme 
is a Money Purchase benefi t. Contributions are paid into the 
UK Pension Scheme by both the member and employer. These 

contributions are held within the UK Pension Scheme and are 
invested in funds selected by the member. 

Termination benefi ts of the President and CEO 
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 accelerated 
manner (the performance period of Nokia Performance Share 
Plan  ended in  and no shares were delivered in ac-
cordance with its terms). 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 incen-
tive 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 employment upon a material reduction of his duties and re-
sponsibilities, upon which he will be entitled to a compensation 
of  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 eq-
uity 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-com-
petition 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.

AUDITOR’S REPORT 

TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 
OF NOKIA CORPORATION

We have audited the accounting records, the fi nancial state-
ments, the review by the Board of Directors and the adminis-
tration of Nokia Corporation for the year ended  December 
. The fi nancial statements comprise the consolidated 
statement of fi nancial position, income statement, statement 
of comprehensive income, statement of cash fl ows, statement 
of changes in shareholders’ equity and notes to the consoli-
dated fi nancial statements, as well as the parent company’s 
balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash fl ows and 
notes to the fi nancial statements.

Responsibility of the Board of Directors and 
the Managing Director
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are respon-
sible for the preparation of consolidated fi nancial statements 
that give a true and fair view in accordance with International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, as 
well as for the preparation of fi nancial statements and the 
review by the Board of Directors that give a true and fair view 
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 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 mis-
statement, 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 and the consoli-
dated fi nancial statements should be adopted. The proposal 
by the Board of Directors regarding the use of 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

As of January ,  our Location & Commerce business and 
reportable segment was renamed HERE. The name Location 
& Commerce is used in the following discussion of critical ac-
counting 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 es-
timates, which inherently contain some degree of uncertainty. 
Management bases its estimates on historical experience 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 as-
sets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and ex-
penses 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 conditions. 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. 

REVENUE 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 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. The remainder 
of revenue is recorded under the percentage of completion 
method. 

Devices & Services and certain Location & 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 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 trans-
action will fl ow to the Group and the costs incurred or to be 
incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reli-
ably. 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 reductions to revenue for special pricing 
agreements, price protection and other volume based dis-
counts at the time of sale, mainly in the mobile device busi-
ness. Sales adjustments for volume based discount programs 
are estimated largely based on historical activity under similar 
programs. Price protection adjustments are based on esti-
mates of future price reductions 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 ser-
vice period unless there is evidence that some other method 
better represents the stage of completion. Devices & Services 
and Location & Commerce license fees from usage are recog-
nized 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, 
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 
selected 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 

88

N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 2

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. 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. 

ALLOWANCES 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-RELATED ALLOWANCES 
We periodically review our inventory for excess, obsoles-
cence and declines in market value below cost and record an 
allowance against the inventory balance for any such de-
clines. 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. During  the Group 
also recognized an expense of EUR  million (EUR  in ) 
within Devices & Services’ cost of sales to write-down the 
inventories to net realizable value. 

WARRANTY PROVISIONS 
We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the 
time revenue is recognized. Our products are covered by prod-
uct warranty plans of varying periods, depending on local prac-
tices 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 war-

ranty provision is established based upon our best estimates 
of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims 
on products sold as of the balance sheet date. As we continu-
ously 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 appropriate proportion 
of the provision, and if the cost of quality is higher than antici-
pated, 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 nan-
cial impact of the assumptions regarding this provision mainly 
aff ects the cost of sales of our Devices & Services business. 

PROVISION FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 
RIGHTS, OR IPR, INFRINGEMENTS 
We provide for the estimated past costs related to alleged 
asserted IPR infringements based on the probable outcome of 
each potential future settlement. 

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 IPR related to our products under 
development and thereby avoid inadvertent infringement of 
proprietary technologies, the nature of our business is such 
that patent and other IPR infringements may and do occur. We 
identify potential IPR infringements through contact with par-
ties claiming infringement of their patented or otherwise ex-
clusive technology, or through our own monitoring of develop-
ments in patent and other IPR 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 CONTINGENCIES 
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. 

BUSINESS 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 ASSETS, 
INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL 
We assess 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. 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-
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. Goodwill amounting to EUR  million, EUR 
 million, EUR   million and EUR  million was allocated 
to the Smart Devices CGU, Mobile Phones CGU, Location & 
Commerce CGU and Nokia Siemens Networks CGU, respective-
ly, 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 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 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 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:

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 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. 

The recoverable amount of the Location & Commerce CGU 

exceeds its carrying amount by a small margin in the fourth 
quarter . The related valuation is deemed most sensitive 
to the changes in both discount and long-term growth rates. 
A discount rate increase in excess of . percentage point 
or long-term growth decline in excess of  percentage point 
would result in impairment loss in the Location & Commerce 
CGU. Management’s estimates of the overall automotive vol-
umes and market share, customer adoption of the new loca-
tion-based platform and related service off erings, projected 
device sales volumes and fair value of the services sold within 
the Group as well as continued focus on cost effi  ciency are 
the main drivers for the Location & Commerce net cash fl ow 
projections. The Group’s cash fl ow forecasts refl ect the cur-
rent strategic views that license fee based models will remain 
important in both near and long term. Management expects 
that license fee based models which are augmented with soft-
ware and services and monetized via license fees, transactions 
fees and advertising, will grow in the future as more customers 
demand complete, end-to-end location solutions. Actual short 
and long-term performance could vary from management’s 
forecasts and impact future estimates of recoverable value. 
Since the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount 
only by a small margin, any material adverse changes such as 

market deterioration or changes in the competitive landscape 
could impact management’s estimates of the main drivers and 
result in impairment loss. 

A charge to operating profi t of EUR   million was re-

corded for the impairment of goodwill in our Location & 
Commerce business in the fourth quarter . The impair-
ment 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 impairment loss, the amount of goodwill allocated to the 
Location & Commerce CGU was reduced to EUR   million at 
December , . 

The impairment charge was 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 included 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 was 
estimated based on peer market data for mobile advertising 
revenue. Projected device sales volumes impacted the overall 
forecasted intercompany and advertising revenues. This took 
into consideration the market dynamics in digital map data 
and related location-based content markets, including the 
Group’s long-term view at the time of the  annual impair-
ment testing, that the market will move from fee-based mod-
els towards advertising-based models especially in some more 
mature markets. It also refl ected recently announced results 
and related competitive factors in local search and advertising 
market resulting in lower estimated growth prospects from 
location-based assets integrated with diff erent advertis-
ing 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’s goodwill impairment testing did not result in 
impairment charges for the years ended December ,  
or . An impairment loss was recorded with respect to

the Group’s Location & Commerce CGU in , as discussed 
above. No further impairment charges were recorded with 
respect to the other CGUs in . 

See Note  to our consolidated fi nancial statements for 
further information regarding “Valuation of long-lived and 
intangible assets and goodwill.” 

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, are deter-
mined using valuation techniques. We use judgment to select 
an appropriate valuation methodology and underlying as-
sumptions based principally on existing market conditions. If 
quoted market prices are not available for unlisted shares, fair 
value is estimated 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 compa-
nies in similar industry sectors. Changes in these assumptions 
may cause the Group to recognize impairments or losses in 
the future periods. During  the Group received distribu-
tions 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 TAXES 
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 erences, tax losses 
and unused tax credits can be utilized. We have considered 
future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this 
assessment. Deferred tax assets are assessed for realizability 
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. In  Nokia taxes continued to 
be unfavorably aff ected by Nokia Siemens Networks taxes as no 
tax benefi ts are recognized for certain Nokia Siemens Networks 
deferred tax items. Additionally Nokia taxes were adversely 
aff ected by allowances related to Devices & Services’ Finnish 
deferred tax assets and discontinuation of recognizing tax 
benefi ts for Devices & Services’ Finnish deferred tax items due 
to uncertainty of utilization of these items. 

 At December , , the Group had tax losses carry 

forward, temporary diff erences and tax credits of EUR   
million (EUR   million in ) for which no deferred tax as-
sets 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. The Group has ongoing tax investi-
gations in multiple jurisdictions, including Hungary and India. 
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 
expense for defi ned benefi t pension plans is dependent on 
our selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in 
calculating 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 
compensation levels. A portion of our plan assets is invested in 
equity securities. The equity markets have experienced volatil-
ity, 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 
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-BASED 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 performance shares are included in assump-
tions 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 number of performance shares granted that are 

92

N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 2

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 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. 

The Group has also issued certain stock options for the 
employees of Nokia Siemens Networks, which are accounted 
for as cash-settled. Related employee services received, and 
the liability incurred, are measured at the fair value of the 
liability. The fair value of stock options is estimated based on 
the reporting date market value less the exercise price of the 
stock options. The fair value of the liability is remeasured at 
each reporting date and at the date of settlement and related 
change in fair value is recognized in the income statement over 
the relevant service periods.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

This Corporate Governance statement is prepared in accord-
ance with Chapter , Section  of the Finnish Securities Markets 
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.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

MAIN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE BODIES 
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 President and CEO. 

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 exception: 

Nokia is not in full compliance with recommendation  of 
the Finnish Corporate Governance Code as Nokia’s Restricted 
Share Plans do not include any performance criteria but are 
time-based only, with a restriction period of at least three 
years from the grant. Restricted shares are granted on a 
selective basis to promote long-term retention of individuals 
with 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 competi-
tive 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. The Finnish Corporate Governance Code is ac-
cessible at www.cgfi nland.fi .

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 corpo-
rate governance rules applicable due to listing of Nokia share 
in Helsinki and New York stock exchanges. 

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 requirements. Nevertheless, Nokia 
aims to minimize the necessity for, or consequences of, 
confl icts between the laws of Finland and applicable non-
domestic requirements.

General Meeting of Shareholders
The shareholders may exercise their decision-making power 
and their right to speak and ask questions at the general meet-
ing of shareholders. Each Nokia share entitles a shareholder 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 Meeting decides, 
among other things, on the election and remuneration of the 
Board of Directors, the adoption of annual accounts, the use 
of the profi t shown on the balance sheet, discharging from li-
ability the members of the Board and the President and CEO as 
well as on the election and fees of external auditor.

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 our Articles of Association as well as any 
complementary rules of procedure as defi ned by the Board, 
such as the Corporate Governance Guidelines and related 
Board Committee charters. 

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  

94

N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 2

and/or individual limits for capital expenditures, invest-
ments and divestitures and fi nancial commitments not to be 
exceeded without Board approval. 

Jouko Karvinen, Helge Lund, Isabel Marey-Semper, Mårten 
Mickos, Elizabeth Nelson, Dame Marjorie Scardino, Risto Siilas-
maa 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 Risto 
Siilasmaa as the new 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, Risto Siilasmaa, and the Vice 
Chairman, Dame Marjorie Scardino, are independent as defi 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, respecting the high-
est corporate governance standards. In , the roles were 
separate while Risto Siilasmaa was the Chairman of the Board 
and Stephen Elop was the Chief Executive Offi  cer. 

The current members of the Board are all non-executive, 

except the President and CEO. The Board has determined 
that nine of the current ten non-executive Board members 
are independent as defi ned by Finnish standards as well as 
by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Mårten Mickos 
was determined not to be independent under both Finnish 
standards and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange due 
to his position as CEO of Eucalyptus Systems, Inc., which has 
a business relationship with and receives revenue from Nokia 
Siemens Networks. The executive member of the Board, 
President and CEO Stephen Elop, was determined not to be 
independent under both Finnish standards and the New York 
Stock Exchange rules. 

The Board held  meetings during , of which approxi-
mately half were regularly scheduled meetings held in person, 
complemented by meetings through video or conference calls 
and other means. In addition, in  the non-executive direc-
tors held a meeting without management in connection with 
each regularly scheduled Board meeting. Also, the independ-
ent directors held one meeting separately in . 

Directors’ attendance at the Board meetings in , includ-

ing Committee meetings, but excluding meetings among the 
non-executive directors or independent directors only, was as 
described in the table on next page. 

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 President and CEO upon the recommenda-
tion 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 President and CEO. 

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 committees assist the Board in 
its duties pursuant to their respective committee charters. 
The Board may also establish ad hoc committees for detailed 
reviews or consideration of particular topics to be proposed 
for the approval of the Board. 

In line with Nokia’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the 
Board conducts annual performance evaluations, which also 
include evaluations of the Board Committees’ work, the re-
sults of which are discussed by the Board. Regarding , the 
evaluation was conducted by an external evaluator, and the 
evaluation consisted of interviews with the Board members. 
The results of the evaluation for year  were discussed by 
the entire Board. 

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: Bruce Brown, Stephen Elop, Henning Kagermann,

In addition, many of the directors attended as non-voting 
observers in 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 Helge 
Lund, 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 management. 

The independent directors of the Board confi rm the elec-

tion of the members and Chairmen for the Board’s com-
mittees from among the Board’s independent directors 
upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance 
and Nomination Committee and based on each committee’s 
 member 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 has consisted of the follow-
ing three members of the Board: Jouko Karvinen (Chairman), 
Isabel Marey-Semper and Elizabeth Nelson. 

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 state-
ments, () the external auditor’s qualifi cations and independ-
ence, () the performance of the external auditor subject to 
the requirements of Finnish law, () the performance of the 
company’s internal controls and risk management and as-
surance 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 main-
tains procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of 
complaints received by the company regarding accounting, 
internal controls, or auditing matters and for the confi den-
tial, anonymous submission by employees of the company 
of concerns regarding accounting or auditing matters. Our 
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 our 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, our external auditor is elected by our 
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 ap-
pointment of the external auditor based upon its evaluation of 
the qualifi cations and independence of the auditor to be pro-
posed for election or re-election. Under Finnish law, the fees 
of the external auditor are also approved by our 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 regularly scheduled 
meetings. The head of the internal audit function has at all 
times a direct access to the Audit Committee, without involve-
ment of management. 

The Audit Committee had  meetings in . The attend-
ance at all meetings was %. In addition, any directors who 
wish to may attend Audit Committee meetings as non-voting 
observers. 

The Personnel Committee consists of a minimum of three 

members of the Board who meet all applicable independ-
ence 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 Personnel Committee has consisted of the following fi ve 
members of the Board: Henning Kagermann (Chairman), Bruce 
Brown, Helge Lund, Dame Marjorie Scardino and Kari Stadigh. 
The primary purpose of the Personnel Committee is to 
oversee the personnel policies and practices of the company. 
It assists the Board in discharging its responsibilities relating 
to all compensation, including equity compensation, of the 
company’s executives and their terms of employment. The 
Committee has overall responsibility for evaluating, resolving 
and making recommendations to the Board regarding () com-
pensation of the company’s top executives and their em-
ployment conditions, () all equity-based plans, () incentive 
compensation plans, policies and programs of the company 
aff ecting executives and () other signifi cant incentive plans. 
The Committee is responsible for overseeing compensation 

philosophy and principles and ensuring the above compen-
sation programs are performance-based, designed with an 
intention to contribute to the long-term value sustainability of 
the company, properly motivate management, support overall 
corporate strategies and are aligned with shareholders’ inter-
ests. The Committee is responsible for the review of senior 
management development and succession plans. 

The Personnel Committee had  meetings in . The 

average attendance at the meetings was %. In addition, any 
directors who wish to may attend Personnel Committee meet-
ings as non-voting observers. 

For further information on the activities of the Personnel 

Committee, see “Executive compensation philosophy, pro-
grams and decision-making process” on page .

The Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee 
consists of three to fi ve members of the Board who meet all 
applicable independence 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 Corporate Governance and Nomination 
Committee has consisted of the following four members of 
the Board: Risto Siilasmaa (Chairman), Henning Kagermann, 
Jouko Karvinen and Dame Marjorie Scardino. 

The Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee’s 
purpose is () to prepare the proposals for the general meet-
ings in respect of the composition of the Board and the direc-
tor remuneration to be approved by the shareholders and () 
to monitor issues and practices related to corporate govern-
ance and to propose necessary actions in respect thereof. 
The Committee fulfi lls its responsibilities by (i) actively 
identifying individuals qualifi ed to become members of the 
Board and considering and evaluating the appropriate level 
and structure of director remuneration, (ii) proposing to the 
shareholders the director nominees for election at the Annual 
General Meetings as well as the director remuneration, (iii) 
monitoring signifi cant developments in the law and practice 
of corporate governance and of the duties and responsibili-
ties of directors of public companies, (iv) assisting the Board 
and each Committee of the Board in its annual performance 
evaluations, including establishing criteria to be used in con-
nection with such evaluations, (v) developing and recommend-
ing to the Board and administering our Corporate Governance 
Guidelines, and (vi) reviewing the company’s disclosure in the 
Corporate Governance Statement. 

The Committee has the power to retain search fi rms or 
advisors to identify candidates. The Committee may also 
retain counsel or other advisors, as it deems appropriate. 
The Committee has the sole authority to retain or terminate 
such search fi rms or advisors and to review and approve such 
search fi rm or advisor’s fees and other retention terms. It is 
the Committee’s practice to retain a search fi rm to identify 
new director candidates. 

The Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee had 

 meetings in . The average attendance at the meetings 
was %. In addition, any directors who wish to may attend 
Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee meetings

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 
purchase cycle, treasury cycle, human resources cycle, 
record to report 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 inter-
nal control. Internal audit resides within the Chief Financial 
Offi  cer’s organization 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. 

For more information on Nokia’s risk management, please 

see Note  of Nokia’s consolidated fi nancial statements.

Nokia Leadership Team and CEO
Under its Articles of Association, in addition to the Board of 
Directors, Nokia has a Nokia Leadership Team that is respon-
sible for the operative management of Nokia. The Chairman 
and members of the Nokia Leadership Team are appointed by 
the Board of Directors. Nokia Leadership Team is chaired by 
the Chief Executive Offi  cer. Only the Chairman of the Nokia 
Leadership Team, the Chief Executive Offi  cer, can be a member 
of both the Board of Directors and the Nokia Leadership Team. 
The Chief Executive Offi  cer also acts as President, and his 
rights and responsibilities include those allotted to the Presi-
dent under Finnish law.

MAIN FEATURES OF THE INTERNAL 
CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS 
IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL REPORTING 
PROCESS 

Nokia has a Risk Policy which outlines Nokia’s risk management 
policies and processes and is approved by the Audit Commit-
tee. The Board’s role in risk oversight includes risk 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 Committee is respon-
sible for, among other matters, the risk management 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 management 
across all business operations and processes based on a strat-
egy 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 documented 
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

  Our President and CEO, Stephen Elop, did not receive remuneration for his 

service as a member of the Board in  and . 

  The aggregate amount of Board pay also includes the remuneration paid 
to our 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, including 
taxes). In addition, it is Nokia’s policy that non-executive mem-
bers of the Board do not participate in any of Nokia’s equity 
programs and do not receive stock options, performance 
shares, restricted shares or any other equity-based or oth-
erwise variable compensation for their duties as Board mem-
bers. The President and CEO did not receive compensation 
for his service 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 .
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 total remuneration 
levels and their criteria paid in other global companies with net 
sales and complexity of business comparable to that of Nokia. 
The Committee’s aim is to ensure that Nokia has an effi  cient 

106

Board of international professionals representing a diverse 
mix of skills and experience. A competitive Board remuneration 
contributes to the achievement of this target. 

Remuneration of the Board of Directors in 2012 
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

Proposal by the Corporate Governance 
and Nomination Committee for remuneration 
to the Board of Directors in 2013 
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 it has been for the past fi ve 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  . 

The guiding principle of the Committee’s proposal is to align 

the interests of the directors with those of the shareholders 
by remunerating directors primarily with Nokia shares that 
must be retained for the duration of the Board membership. 
Therefore, the 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 a director’s 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). The rest of the remuneration would be payable in cash, 
most of which is typically used to cover taxes arising out of the 
remuneration. 

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION 

The sections below describe in more detail, our executive 
compensation philosophy, the design of our programs and 
the factors that are considered during the decision-making 
process. One of the underlying principles of our philosophy 
and our program design is that a signifi cant portion of execu-
tive’s compensation is at-risk pay tied to the performance of 
the company and aligned with the value delivered to share-
holders. Of the total compensation package for the President 
and CEO, % is at-risk pay tied to performance. The amount 
of pay at risk for the other members of the Nokia Leadership 
Team ranges from % to %. Our programs are designed 
so this portion of at-risk pay is earned and delivered when 
results warrant. While signifi cant strides have been made in 
the execution of our strategy, the transition has taken longer 

than anticipated in terms of results relative to the measures 
that were defi ned. As a result, under our executive compensa-
tion programs, the President and CEO and the members of the 
Nokia Leadership Team have not realized signifi cant elements 
of their pay over this past year. 

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 the strategy announced 
in early . Specifi cally, our programs are designed to: 

■  incorporate specifi c measures that align directly with the 

execution of our strategy; 

■  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 Nokia’s and an indi-

vidual’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 rele-
vant 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 com-
pensation consultant from Mercer Human Resources to obtain 
benchmark data and information on current market trends. 
The consultant works directly for the Personnel Committee 
and meets annually with the Personnel Committee, with-
out 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 compensa-

C O M P E N S A T I O N   O F   T H E   B O A R D   O F   D I R E C T O R S   A N D   T H E   N O K I A   L E A D E R S H I P   T E A M

tion levels in preparation for meeting with the Committee. The 
Committee has reviewed and established that the consult-
ant of Mercer Human Resources that works for the Personnel 
Committee is independent 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 
comparison companies; 

■  the performance demonstrated by the executive offi  cer 
during the last year, which is evaluated at the end of the 
year against individual goals that are aligned to Nokia-level 
fi nancial and strategic goals and against the executive 
offi  cer’s overall leadership capabilities; 

■  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. 

In , Nokia’s management performed an internal risk 
assessment 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 compensation programs in  in alignment to our 
strategy. Management assessed such factors as Nokia’s pro-
portion of fi xed compensation in relation to variable compen-
sation, 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 compen-
sation 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, manage-
ment concluded that there are no material 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. A similar assessment was not con-
ducted in , as the  assessment considered changes in 
our programs that were being implemented in . 

Components of executive 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-level 
fi nancial and strategic goals that are shared by the Nokia 
Leadership Team. The short-term cash incentive opportunity 
is expressed as a percentage of each executive offi  cer’s annual 
base salary. These award opportunities and measurement 
criteria are presented in the table below. 

Short-term incentives are determined for the Nokia 
Leadership Team based on their performance as a team. 
Additionally, some members of the Nokia Leadership Team 
have an objective on relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR). 
The payment with respect to relative TSR 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 rele-
vant market indices over one-, three- and fi ve-year periods. 
The specifi c goals and underlying targets require the 
Board’s approval with respect to the President and CEO and 
the Personnel Committee’s approval with respect to the other 
members of the Nokia Leadership Team. 

The following table refl ects the measurement criteria that 
were established for the President and CEO and members of 
the Nokia Leadership Team for the year . The short-term 
incentive payout is based on performance relative to targets 
set for each measurement criteria listed in the table.

  One Nokia Leadership Team member’s incentive structure is also tied to 
specific sales and gross margin targets in addition to the key financial 
targets and strategic objectives. 

  Total Shareholder Return reflects the change in Nokia’s share price 

during an established time period, including the amount of dividends 
paid, divided 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. Only certain members of the Nokia Leadership Team are eligible for 
the additional Total Shareholder Return element. For Stephen Elop, Total 
Shareholder Return was measured in the one-time special CEO incentive 
program approved by the Board of Directors for the two-year period 
 – . 

Annual incentive cash bonus under the Nokia short-term 
cash incentive plan is paid once per year based on pre-deter-
mined Nokia performance criteria assessed as of December 
, . To determine the pay-out under the Nokia short-
term cash incentive plan, the Personnel Committee approved 
incentive goals are evaluated against pre-defi ned achievement 
criteria. The resulting scores are then calculated against each 
executive individual incentive target to ascertain an individual 
pay-out percent. The executive’s annual base salary is then 
multiplied by the pay-out percent to determine the pay-out 
amount. The achievement scores and individual pay-out 
percent and amount is presented to the Personnel Committee 
for approval. In the event the achievement criteria is not met, 
the actual short-term cash incentive awarded to the executive 
offi  cer can be zero. The maximum payout is only possible with 
maximum performance on all measures. 

For fi scal year , the incentive criteria were not achieved 

and as a result there was no pay-out under the short-term 
cash incentive plan. 

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 Phi-
losophy, Programs and Decision-making Process,” including a 
comparison 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. 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, 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-determined restriction 
period. Any shares granted are subject to the share ownership 
guidelines as explained below. All of these equity-based incen-
tive 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 Leadership Team 
members under Nokia equity plans in case of a fi nancial re-
statement 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 .

Actual Executive Compensation for 2012 

■  His equity grants were reduced to a level below the competi-

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 an-
nual review by the Board of Directors and confi rmation by the 
independent members of the Board, is EUR   . His in-
centive target under the Nokia short-term cash incentive plan 
is % of annual base salary as at December , . In addi-
tion, Mr. Elop had a separate plan for  – , approved by 
the Board of Directors. Description and outcome of this plan 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 guide-
lines 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 tar-
get 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 accelerated manner (the performance period of Nokia 
Performance Share Plan  ended in  and no shares 
were delivered in accordance with its terms). In case of ter-
mination 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 employment upon a material 
reduction of his duties and responsibilities, upon which he will 
be entitled to a compensation of  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 con-
tract 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 Mr. Elop’s compensation to increased shareholder 
value and to link a meaningful portion of his compensation 
directly to the performance of Nokia’s share price over the 
period of  – , his compensation structure for  
and  would be modifi ed. 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 was reduced from 

% to % and 

tive market value. 

In consideration, Mr. Elop had 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 would re-
quire performance at the th percentile of the peer group 
and the maximum payout would occur if the rank is among 
the top three of the peer group. The peer group consists of 
a number of relevant companies in the high technology/mo-
bility, telecommunications and Internet services industries. 

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

Nokia share price under both criteria was calculated as a -
day trade volume weighted average share price on the NASDAQ 
OMX Helsinki. If the minimum level for one of the criterion had 
been met, a total of   Nokia ordinary shares would have 
been delivered to Mr. Elop. At maximum level for both criteria, 
a total of   Nokia ordinary shares would have been de-
livered to him. Shares earned under this plan during – 
would have been subject to an additional one-year vesting 
period until the fi rst quarter , at which point the earned 
and vested shares would have been delivered to Mr. Elop. 

 Based on the results, as of December , , no share de-
livery will take place as the minimum performance for neither 
of the two performance criteria was reached. The number of 
shares earned and to be settled may be adjusted by the Board 
of Directors under certain exceptional circumstances up until 
June ,  should the results signifi cantly change. 

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 earn-
ings, 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. The Nokia Leadership Team 
members in the United States participate in Nokia’s US 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.

  The equity-based incentive grants are generally forfeited if the employ-

ment relationship terminates with Nokia prior to vesting. The settlement 
is conditional upon performance and/or service conditions, as determined 
in the relevant plan rules. For a description of our equity plans, see Note 
 to our consolidated financial statements. 

  For performance shares granted under Nokia Performance Share Plans, 
at maximum performance, the settlement amounts to four times the 
number at threshold.

ing termination of employment in accordance with plan rules. 

% of the employer’s match vests for the participants during 
each year of the fi rst four years of their employment. The 
Nokia Leadership Team members in Germany participate in 
the Nokia German Pension Plan that is % company funded. 
Contributions are based on pensionable earnings, the pen-
sion table and retirement age. For the Nokia Leadership Team 
members in UK, the pension accrued in the UK Pension Scheme 
is a Money Purchase benefi t. Contributions are paid into the 
UK Pension Scheme by both the member and employer. These 
contributions are held within the UK Pension Scheme and are 
invested in funds selected by the member. 

ACTUAL COMPENSATION FOR THE MEMBERS
OF THE NOKIA LEADERSHIP TEAM IN 2012 
At December , , Nokia had a Nokia Leadership Team con-
sisting of  members. Changes in the composition in the Nokia 
Leadership Team during  are explained above in “Nokia 
Leadership Team” on page .

The following tables summarize the aggregate cash com-
pensation paid and the long-term equity-based incentives 
granted to the members of the Nokia Leadership Team under 
our equity plans in . 

Gains realized upon exercise of stock options and share-
based incentive grants vested for the members of the Nokia 
Leadership Team during  are included in “Stock option

Includes base salary and cash incentives paid or payable by Nokia for the 
 fiscal year. The cash incentives are paid as a percentage of annual 
base salary based on Nokia’s short-term cash incentives. Includes Jerri 
DeVard, Colin Giles, Mary T. McDowell and Niklas Savander for the period 
until June , , Esko Aho until August ,  and Marko Ahtisaari as

  The positions set forth in this table are the current positions of the 
named executives. Ms. McDowell served as Executive Vice President, 
Mobile Phones and Mr. Savander served as Executive Vice President, 
Markets until June , . 

  The amount consists of the annual incentive cash bonus and/or other 
bonuses earned and paid or payable by Nokia for the respective fiscal 
year. For fiscal year , the annual incentive bonus plan under the Nokia 
short-term cash incentive plan did not achieve established criteria; as a 
result, there was no pay-out under that plan. The amount for year  
represents a discretionary spot bonus awarded to certain Nokia Leader-
ship Team members in recognition of their specific contributions toward 
the progress made on our strategy as we headed into . 

  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 the grant date. The estimated 
fair value is based on the grant date market price of a Nokia share less the 
present value of dividends, if any, 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 
threshold. 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. Ihamuotila EUR  ; Ms. Harlow EUR  ; Mr. Halbherr 
EUR  ; Ms. Pentland EUR  ; Ms. McDowell EUR  ; and 
Mr. Savander EUR  . 

  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. 

  The amounts shown in the total compensation column do not represent 
the amount actually payable or paid for the respective fiscal years, as 
they also include the theoretical pension value and the theoretical grant 
date fair value of the stock awards and option awards, and not the actual 
value received by the executive. 

  All other compensation for Mr. Elop in  includes: EUR   for hous-
ing; EUR   for participation in a health assessment and leadership 
performance program; EUR   for home security; and EUR   tax-
able benefit for premiums paid under supplemental medical and disability

the Nokia Stock Option Plan , the Nokia Performance Share Plan  
and the Nokia Restricted Share Plan .

exercise price was EUR . on May , . NASDAQ OMX Helsinki closing 
market price was EUR . at grant date on May , . 

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 . 

EQUITY-BASED INCENTIVE PROGRAMS 

General  
During the year ended December , , we administered 
two 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 sustainability 
of the company and ensure that remuneration is based on per-
formance. Performance shares have been the main element of 
the company’s broad-based equity compensation program for 
several years to further emphasize the performance element 
in employees’ long-term incentives. 

The primary equity instruments for the executive employ-

ees are performance shares and stock options. Restricted 
shares are also used for executives for retention purposes. 
The portfolio approach is designed to build an optimal and bal-
anced combination of long-term equity-based incentives and 
to help focus recipients on long term fi nancial performance 
as well as on share price appreciation, thus aligning recipients’ 
interests with those of shareholders. For directors below the 
executive level the primary equity instruments are perfor-

  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, if any, expected to be paid during the vesting period. The value 
of performance shares is presented on the basis of a number of shares, 
which is two times the number at threshold. 

  Ms. McDowell’s and Mr. Savander’s equity grants were forfeited and can-
celled upon their respective terminations of employment in accordance 
with plan rules. 

mance shares and restricted shares. Below the director level, 
performance shares and restricted shares are used on a selec-
tive basis to ensure retention and recruitment of individuals 
with functional mastery and other employees deemed critical 
to Nokia’s future success. 

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 participant group for the  equity-based incentive 

program continued to include employees from many levels 
of the organization. As at December , , the aggregate 
number of participants in all of our active equity-based pro-
grams was approximately   compared with approximately 
  as at December ,  refl ecting changes in our grant 
guidelines and reduction in eligible population. 

Stock option, performance share and restricted share 

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

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 Nokia shares will be delivered unless 
the Group’s performance reaches at least one of the threshold 
levels measured by two independent, pre-defi ned performance 
criteria. The below table illustrates the performance criteria of 
the Performance Share Plans from  through .

mance period. The  plan has a two-year performance 
period and a subsequent one-year restriction period, after 
which the shares vest. The shares will be delivered to the 
participants as soon as practicable after they vest. The below

  No Nokia shares were delivered under the Nokia Performance Share Plans 
 and  as Nokia’s performance did not reach the threshold level of 
either performance criteria under both plans. 

  Nokia Performance Share Plan  has a one-year restriction period after 

the two-year performance period. 

Until the shares are delivered, the participants will not have 

any shareholder rights, such as voting or dividend rights, as-
sociated with the performance shares. The performance share 
grants are generally forfeited if the employment relationship 
terminates with Nokia prior to vesting. 

Similar to the previous ,  and  plans, there was 

no payout from the  Performance Share Plan. 

Stock options 
During  we administered two global stock option plans, 
the Stock Option Plans  and , each of which, includ-
ing 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 Plan  have a vesting 
schedule with % of the options vesting one year after grant 
and .% each quarter thereafter. The stock options granted 
under the  plan have a term of approximately 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 and the remaining % vesting four 
years from grant. The stock options granted under the  
plan have a term of approximately six years. For information 
on stock option exercise prices, exercise periods and expiry 
dates, see Note  to our consolidated fi nancial statements. 
 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 plans, which were approved by the share-
holders at the Annual General Meetings  and . 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. 

Restricted shares 
During , we 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 on a selective basis to ensure 
retention and recruitment of individuals with functional mas-
tery and other employees deemed critical to Nokia’s future 
success. 

All of our restricted share plans have a restriction period of 
three years after grant. Until the shares are delivered, the par-
ticipants 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 employ-
ment relationship terminates with Nokia prior to vesting.

Nokia equity-based incentive program 2013 
On January , , the Board of Directors approved the scope 
and design of the Nokia Equity Program . The Equity Pro-
gram  mirrors the  Program in terms of performance 
shares, stock options and restricted shares. In addition to these 
instruments, the Board of Directors approved also the imple-
mentation of a new Employee Share Purchase Plan. Similarly to 
the earlier broad-based equity incentive programs, the Equity 
Program  is designed to support the participants’ focus 
and alignment with the company’s strategy and targets. 

Nokia’s use of the performance-based plan in conjunction 
with the restricted share plan as the main long-term incentive 
vehicles is planned to eff ectively contribute to the long-term 
value creation and sustainability of the company and to align 
the interests of the employees with those of the sharehold-
ers. It is also designed to ensure that the overall equity-based 
compensation is based on performance, while also ensuring 
the recruitment and retention of talent vital to the future suc-
cess of Nokia. In addition, the new Employee Share Purchase 
Plan is introduced to encourage employee share ownership, 
commitment and engagement. 

The primary equity instruments for the executive employ-

ees are performance shares and stock options. Restricted 
shares are also used for executives for retention purposes. 
For directors below the executive level, the primary equity 
instruments 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 
recruitment of individuals with functional mastery and other 
employees deemed critical to Nokia’s future success. These 
equity-based incentive awards are generally forfeited if the 
employee leaves Nokia prior to vesting. 

The Employee Share Purchase Plan will be off ered to all 
employees in selected jurisdictions (excluding Nokia Siemens 
Networks’ employees), to the extent there are no local regula-
tory or administrative obstacles for the off er. The participa-
tion in the plan will be voluntary to eligible employees. 

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 Nokia shares will be deliv-
ered 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 . (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-
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, yet realistic and within reach. 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 per-
formance 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 no Nokia 
shares will be delivered. If the required performance level 
is achieved, the vesting will occur after . Until the Nokia 
shares are delivered, the participants will not have any share-
holder rights, such as voting or dividend rights associated 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 “Stock Options” on page . 

RESTRICTED SHARES 
Restricted shares under the Restricted Share Plan  ap-
proved by the Board of Directors are used as described above 
on a selective basis to ensure retention and recruitment of 
individuals with 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 will be delivered in  and early 
, dependent on the fulfi llment of the criteria of continued 
employment during the restriction period. Until the shares 
are delivered, the participants will not have any shareholder 
rights, such as voting or dividend rights associated with these 
restricted shares. 

EMPLOYEE SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
Under the Employee Share Purchase Plan, eligible Nokia 
employees can elect to make monthly contributions from 
their salary to purchase Nokia shares. The contribution per 
employee cannot exceed EUR   per year. The share pur-
chases will be made at market value on pre-determined dates 
on a monthly basis during a -month savings period. Nokia will 
off er one matching share for every two purchased shares the 
employee still holds after the last monthly purchase has been 
made in June . In addition,  free shares will be delivered 
to employees who make the fi rst three consecutive monthly 
share purchases. The participation in the plan is voluntary to 
the employees.

  Bengt Holmström did not stand for re-election in the Annual General 

Meeting held on May ,  and he held   shares at that time. Per 
Karlsson did not stand for re-election in the Annual General Meeting 
held on May ,  and he held   shares at that time. Per Karlsson’s 
holdings included both shares held personally and shares held through a 
company. Jorma Ollila did not stand for re-election in the Annual General 
Meeting held on May ,  and he held   shares at that time. 

  The number of shares or ADSs includes not only shares or ADSs received 
as director compensation, but also shares or ADSs acquired by any other 
means. Stock options or other equity awards that are deemed as being 
beneficially owned under the applicable SEC rules are not included. For 
the number of shares or ADSs received as director compensation, see 
Note  to our consolidated financial statements. 

Share ownership of the Nokia Leadership Team 
The following table sets forth the share ownership, as well as 
potential ownership interest through the holding of equity-
based incentives, of the members of the Nokia Leadership 
Team as at December , . 

MAXIMUM PLANNED GRANTS UNDER THE NOKIA
EQUITY-BASED INCENTIVE PROGRAM 2013 IN 
YEAR 2013 
The approximate maximum numbers of planned grants under 
the Nokia Equity Program  (i.e. performance shares, stock 
options, restricted shares as well as matching share awards 
under the Employee Share Purchase Plan) in  are set forth 
in the table below. 

Planned maximum number of

Stock options  

Restricted shares  
Performance shares at maximum 1  
Employee share purchase plan 2

3.15 million

  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. 

  The total maximum amount of employee contributions during the plan 
cycle commencing in  will be approximately EUR  million, which 
equals approximately . million Nokia shares using the January ,  
closing share price of EUR .. Based on the matching ratio of one match-
ing share for every two purchased shares, the number of matching shares 
would be . million. In addition,  free shares will be delivered to em-
ployees who make the first three consecutive monthly share purchases. 

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 Program  would be approximately 
another .%. 

SHARE OWNERSHIP 

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 are purchased from the market. It is also Nokia’s policy 
that the Board members retain all Nokia shares received as di-
rector 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 
receive stock options, performance shares, restricted shares 
or any other equity based or otherwise variable compensation 
for their duties as Board members. 

For a description of our remuneration for our Board of 
Directors, see “Remuneration of the Board of Directors in 
” on page .

The Nokia Leadership Team members receive equity-based 

compensation in the form of performance shares, stock op-
tions and restricted shares. For a description of our equity-

  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 Plans  and 
, the number of shares deliverable equals four times the number of 
performance shares at threshold. 

  No Nokia shares were delivered under the one-time special CEO incentive 
program. Therefore the shares deliverable at threshold and maximum 
equals zero for the incentive program.

Total 5  

All outstanding stock option plans

  Number of stock options equals the number of underlying shares 

represented by the option entitlement. Stock options granted under 
 and  Stock Option Plans have different vesting schedules. The 
Group’s global Stock Option Plan  has a vesting schedule with a % 
vesting one year after grant, and quarterly vesting thereafter, each of 
the quarterly lots representing .% of the total grant. The grants vest 
fully in four years. The Group’s global Stock Option Plan  has a vesting 
schedule with % of stock options vesting three years after grant and 
the remaining % vesting four years from grant. 

  The intrinsic value of the stock options is based on the difference 

between the exercise price of the options and the closing market price 
of Nokia shares on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki as at December ,  of 
EUR ..

  The performance period for the  plan is –, for the  plan 
– and for the  plan – (with a subsequent one-year 
restriction period), 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 
maximum equals zero for the Performance Share Plan .

at threshold and maximum equals zero. 

  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 
Plan  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 is zero, as no Nokia shares were delivered, as Nokia’s 
performance did not reach the threshold level of either performance 
criteria. 

  Under the Restricted Share Plans , ,  and , awards have 
been granted quarterly. For the major part of the awards made under

  Ms. DeVard’s equity will be forfeited and cancelled upon termination of 

employment in accordance with the plan rules. 

  Mr. Giles’, Ms. McDowell’s, Mr. Savander’s and Mr. Aho’s performance and 

restricted share grants were forfeited and cancelled upon their respective 
terminations of employment in accordance with the plan rules. 

  The intrinsic value is based on the closing market price of a Nokia share 
on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki as at June ,  of EUR . in respect of  
Ms. DeVard, Mr. Giles, Ms. McDowell and Mr. Savander and as at August , 
 of EUR . in respect of Mr. Aho. 

  The threshold number will vest as Nokia shares should the pre-deter-
mined threshold performance levels be met for both performance 
criteria. No Nokia shares were delivered under the Performance Share Plan 
, as Nokia’s performance did not reach the threshold level of either 
performance criteria. 

  The maximum number will vest as Nokia shares should the pre-deter-

mined maximum performance levels be met. The maximum number of 
performance shares equals four times the number 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.

Share 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 avail-
able 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, prohibitions on trading in 
Nokia securities during the three-week “closed-window” pe-
riod 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 an-
nual 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.

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”). 

2011

Under the Policy, proposed services either (i) may be pre-
approved by the Audit Committee without 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.

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 respect 
of the appointment of the auditor based upon its evaluation 
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.

  Audit fees consist of fees billed for the annual audit of the company’s 

consolidated financial statements and the statutory financial statements 
of the company’s subsidiaries. 

  Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for assurance and related services 
that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of 
the company’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by 
the independent auditor, and include consultations concerning financial 
accounting and reporting standards; advice on tax accounting matters; 
advice and assistance in connection with local statutory accounting 
requirements; due diligence related to acquisitions or divestitures; finan-
cial due diligence in connection with provision of funding to customers, 
reports in relation to covenants in loan agreements; employee benefit 
plan audits and reviews; and audit procedures in connection with investi-
gations and compliance programs. They also include fees billed for other 
audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor 
reasonably can provide, and include the provision of comfort letters and 
consents in connection with statutory and regulatory filings and the 
review of documents filed with the SEC and other capital markets or local 
financial reporting regulatory bodies. 

  Tax fees include fees billed for (i) corporate and indirect compliance in-

cluding preparation and/or review of tax returns, preparation, review and/
or filing of various certificates and forms and consultation regarding tax 
returns and assistance with revenue authority queries; (ii) transfer pricing 
advice and assistance with tax clearances; (iii) customs duties reviews

queries and tax audits and appeals and advice on mergers, acquisitions 
and restructurings); (v) personal compliance (preparation of individual tax 
returns and registrations for employees (non-executives), assistance with 
applying visa, residency, work permits and tax status for expatriates); and 
(vi) consultation and planning (advice on stock-based remuneration, local 
employer tax laws, social security laws, employment laws and compensa-
tion programs and 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-
ments with customers, other consulting services and occasional training 
or reference materials and services. 

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.
