REVIEW 
BY THE BOARD 
OF DIRECTORS 2013

Year  constituted a remarkable time in the almost -
year history of Nokia as two major transactions reshaped the 
company. In the fi rst, Nokia purchased the remaining half of a 
leading telecommunications infrastructure business. In the 
second, Nokia divested its devices business which for over 
three decades had emerged to become a household name. 
This has been a transformative time for Nokia, its shareholders, 
people and other stakeholders. However, we believe that the 
changes we have pursued and executed were in the interests 
of Nokia and its shareholders, and today, we believe that the 
company is on a new path and has the capability to grow a new.

Sale of substantially all of Devices & Services 
business to Microsoft
The process leading to the announcement of the proposed 
sale of substantially all of Nokia’s Devices & Services business 
to Microsoft on September , , and eventually to the clos-
ing of the transaction on April , , started in early  
when Microsoft approached Nokia indicating its interest in 
purchasing all or part of our Devices & Services business. After 
this contact, we carried out an extensive strategic review and 
considered a wide range of strategic alternatives and scenarios 
for the company. This review included, among other things, a 
thorough assessment of what would be possible within the 
framework of the partnership with Microsoft, outside of it, as 
well as the value of Nokia’s businesses and assets in diff erent 
scenarios. 

During this process and throughout the negotiations, 
we consulted with our senior management as well as with 
outside legal and fi nancial advisors. The negotiations with 
Microsoft progressed and eventually resulted in an off er from 
Microsoft to purchase substantially all of Nokia’s Devices & 
Services business and to license our patents. After a thorough 
and careful assessment, we determined at a meeting held 
on September , , that the proposed transaction was 
advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of Nokia and its 
shareholders. We decided to enter into the transaction and 
resolved to submit it to Nokia shareholders for confi rmation 
and approval. 

On September , , Nokia announced that it had signed 
an agreement to enter into a transaction whereby Nokia would 
sell to Microsoft substantially all of its Devices & Services 
business, including the Mobile Phones and Smart Devices busi-
ness units as well as an industry-leading design team, opera-
tions including Nokia Devices & Services production facilities, 
Devices & Services-related sales and marketing activities, 
and related support functions. Also, in conjunction with the 
closing of the transaction Nokia granted Microsoft a -years 

non-exclusive license to its patents and Microsoft granted 
Nokia reciprocal rights to use Microsoft patents in our HERE 
services, our mapping and location services business. The 
total purchase price was EUR . billion, of which EUR . bil-
lion related to the purchase of substantially all of the Devices 
& Services business, and EUR . billion related to the  year 
mutual patent license agreement and the option to extend 
this agreement in perpetuity (hereafter the transaction is 
referred to as the “Sale of the D&S Business”). In addition, 
Microsoft became a strategic licensee of the HERE platform, 
and separately pays Nokia for a four-year license.

On November , , Nokia’s shareholders confi rmed 
and approved the transaction at the Extraordinary General 
Meeting in Helsinki. We were very pleased by the overwhelm-
ingly strong support our shareholders gave for the transaction, 
as total of over % of the votes cast were in favour of the 
approval. Having received the approval of Nokia shareholders 
and regulatory authorities as well as fulfi lling other customary 
closing conditions, the transaction closed on April , .

Purchase of the remaining stake in NSN
During the summer we were able to move forward with 
negotiating the purchase of Siemens’ share of Nokia Siemens 
Networks, our infrastructure joint venture. We saw potential 
in its leadership in next generation technologies, such as LTE, 
as well as in its profi tability improvement, which was the result 
of the focused strategy and successful implementation of 
the company’s restructuring programme. We saw an oppor-
tunity to purchase Siemens’ share at what we believed to be 
an attractive price and create value for our shareholders. We 
announced the transaction on July ,  and the transaction 
was completed on August , .

Interim governance
In connection with the announcement of the Microsoft trans-
action in September , the Board deemed it fi t to also re-
evaluate the governance and management roles for Nokia. As 
Stephen Elop was agreed to transfer to Microsoft upon closing 
of the transaction, he stepped aside as President and CEO of 
Nokia Corporation, resigned from the Nokia Board of Directors, 
and became Executive Vice President, Devices & Services, as 
from September , , in order to avoid the perception of 
any potential confl icts of interest. 

On the same day, Risto Siilasmaa assumed the position of 

interim CEO and Timo Ihamuotila assumed the position of 
interim President, both in addition to their respective existing 
duties as Chairman of the Nokia Board and CFO, respectively.

On April , , Nokia announced its new strategy and 
consequently, changes to its leadership. Nokia Board appoint-
ed, eff ective as from May , , Rajeev Suri as the President 
and CEO of Nokia.

Board work
The Nokia Board of Directors and its committees met approxi-
mately  times over the year. Part of these meetings were 
regularly scheduled meetings, complemented by meetings 
through video and conference calls and other means. This 
extensive amount was appropriate given the careful and 
thorough evaluations we undertook in relation to the strategic 
plans in consideration and the two major transactions, in addi-
tion to carrying out the regular work of the Board.

Nokia going forward
Following the closing of the transaction, Nokia continues to 
own and maintain the Nokia brand. Under the terms of the 
transaction, Microsoft received a -year license arrangement 
with Nokia to use the Nokia brand on certain Mobile Phones 
products. Additionally, Nokia is restricted from licensing the 
Nokia brand for use in connection with mobile device sales for 
 months from the closing and from using the Nokia brand on 
Nokia’s own mobile devices until December , .

The signifi cant developments during  and early  
also meant that Nokia needed to re-evaluate its strategy and 
corporate identity going forward. A large component of the 
process was to assess which technologies would defi ne and 
dominate the next ten years and how Nokia could position 
itself in that emerging environment. The evaluation comprised 
of evaluations of strategies for each of Nokia’s three continu-
ing businesses and possible synergies between them, as well 
as an evaluation of the optimal corporate and capital structure 
for Nokia after the closing of the transaction. Nokia an-
nounced the outcome of its evaluation and the new strategy 
on April , .

Looking ahead, Nokia has three continuing businesses, 
each of which is a leader in enabling mobility in its respective 
market segment: network business Networks (previously Nokia 
Solutions and Networks, or NSN), HERE mapping and location 
services and Technologies (previously Advanced Technologies), 
which is focused on technology development and intellectual 
property licensing.

The history of Nokia goes far beyond mobile devices. In 
the course of its almost  years of existence, the company 
brand has been associated with cables, rubber boots, car 
tyres, and televisions, and more. Nokia has always lived among 
changes, encountered diffi  culties, made landmark decisions, 
and survived. The Nokia Board continuing its work in  
focused on building the next chapter of Nokia’s success.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We have three businesses: Networks, HERE, and Technologies, 
and four operating and reportable segments for fi nancial 
reporting purposes: Mobile Broadband and Global Services 
within Networks, HERE, and Technologies. Below is a descrip-
tion of our four reportable segments.

■  Mobile Broadband provides mobile operators with radio and 
core network software together with the hardware needed 
to deliver mobile voice and data services. 

■  Global Services provides mobile operators with a broad 

range of services, including network implementation, care, 
managed services, network planning and optimization, as 
well as systems integration. 

■  HERE focuses on the development of location intelligence, 

location-based services and local commerce.

■  Technologies is built on Nokia’s Chief Technology Offi  ce and 

intellectual property rights and licensing activities.

Networks also contains Networks Other, which includes 
net sales and related cost of sales and operating expenses 
of non-core businesses, as well as Optical Networks busi-
ness until May , , when its divestment was completed. 
It also includes restructuring and associated charges for 
Networks business. Additionally, as a result of the Sale of the 
D&S Business, we report certain separate information for 
Discontinued operations.

On August , , Nokia completed the acquisition of 
Siemens’ stake in Nokia Siemens Networks, which was a joint 
venture between Nokia and Siemens and renamed the com-
pany Nokia Solutions and Networks, also referred to as NSN. 
After the closing of the Sale of the D&S Business, NSN was 
renamed Networks. Networks was consolidated by Nokia prior 
to this transaction. Beginning in the third quarter of , 
Nokia has reported fi nancial information for the two operating 
and reportable segments within Networks; Mobile Broadband 
and Global Services. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 
, the Devices & Services business has been reported as 
Discontinued operations. To refl ect these changes, histori-
cal results information for past periods has been regrouped 
for historical comparative purposes. As is customary, certain 
judgments have been made when regrouping historical results 
information and allocating items in the regrouped results. 

When presenting fi nancial information as at December , 

 and related comparative information for previous 
periods, we generally refer to the names of the businesses 
and reportable segments as they were named at December , 
. However, the terms “Networks” and “Nokia Solutions 
and Networks, or “NSN” and the terms “Technologies” and 
“Advanced Technologies” may be used interchangeably in this 
annual report.

NET SALES
Continuing operations net sales declined by % to EUR   
million in  compared with EUR   million in . The 
decline in Nokia’s continuing operations’ net sales in  was 
primarily due to lower NSN and HERE net sales. The decline in 
NSN net sales was partially due to divestments of businesses 
not consistent with its strategic focus, as well as the exiting 
of certain customer contracts and countries. Excluding these 
two factors, NSN net sales in  declined by approximately 
% primarily due to reduced wireless infrastructure deploy-
ment activity, which aff ected both Global Services and Mobile 
Broadband. The decline in HERE net sales was primarily due to 
a decline in internal HERE net sales due to lower recognition 
of deferred revenue related to our smartphone sales, partially 
off  set by an increase in external HERE net sales due to higher 
sales to vehicle customers. Additionally, NSN and HERE net 
sales were negatively aff ected by foreign currency fl uctua-
tions.

The following table sets forth the distribution by geographi-

cal area of our net sales for the fi scal years  and .

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

GROSS MARGIN
Gross margin for continuing operations in  was .%, 
compared to .% in . The increase in  was primarily 
due to a higher NSN gross margin. NSN gross margin increased 
primarily due to improved effi  ciency in Global Services, an 
improved product mix with a greater share of higher margin 
products, and the divestment of less profi table businesses.

OPERATING EXPENSES
Our research and development expenses were EUR   mil-
lion in , compared to EUR   million in . Research 
and development expenses represented .% of our net 
sales in , compared to .% in . Research and devel-
opment expenses included purchase price accounting items 
of EUR  million in , compared to EUR  in . The 
decrease was primarily due to lower amortization of acquired 
intangible assets within HERE. In addition, it included EUR  
million of transaction related costs, related to the Sale of the 
D&S Business.

In , our selling and marketing expenses were EUR  

million, compared to EUR   million in . Selling and 
marketing expenses represented .% of our net sales in  
compared to .% in . The decrease in selling and mar-
keting expenses was due to lower purchase price accounting 
items and generally lower expenses in NSN and HERE. Selling 
and marketing expenses included purchase price accounting 
items of EUR  million in  compared to EUR  million in 
. The decrease was primarily due to items arising from the 
formation of NSN becoming fully amortized at the end of the 
fi rst quarter of .

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 de-
cline in net sales in . Administrative and general expenses 
did not include purchase price accounting items in either  
or .

Other income and expense was a lower net expense of

  HERE internal sales refers to sales that HERE had to our Discontinued operations (formerly Devices & Services business) that used certain HERE services in its 
mobile devices. After the closing of the Sale of the D&S Business HERE no longer generates such internal sales, however it will continue to recognize deferred 
revenue related to this business for up to  months after the closing of the Sale of the D&S Business. As part of the Sale of the D&S Business, Microsoft will 
become a strategic licensee of the HERE platform, and will separately pay HERE for a four-year license that will be recognized ratably as external net sales.

In , other income and expenses included restructur-
ing charges of EUR  million, as well as transaction related 
costs of EUR  million related to the Sale of the D&S Business. 
In , other income and expenses included restructuring 
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 
as well as amortization of acquired intangible assets of EUR  
million and a net gain on sale of real estate of EUR  million.

OPERATING PROFIT (LOSS)
Our  operating profi t was EUR  million, compared with 
an operating loss of EUR  million in . The increased 
operating profi t resulted primarily from lower restructuring 
charges and purchase price accounting items in general and 
an increase in the operating performance of our NSN busi-
ness, which was partially off  set by a decrease in the operating 
performance of HERE. Our operating profi t in  included 
purchase price accounting items, restructuring charges and 
other special items of net negative EUR  million compared 
to net negative EUR   million in . Our  operating 
margin was positive .% compared to negative .% in . 
The improvement was primarily due to an increase in our gross 
margin and lower expenses in other income and expenses.

CORPORATE COMMON
Corporate common functions’ operating loss totalled EUR  
million in , compared to EUR  million in . In  cor-
porate common included restructuring charges and associated 
impairments of EUR  million, as well as transaction related 
costs of EUR  million related to the Sale of the D&S Business. 
In  corporate common benefi tted from a net gain from 
sale of real estate of EUR  million and included restructuring 
charges of EUR  million.

NET FINANCIAL INCOME AND EXPENSES
Financial income and expenses, net, was an expense of EUR 
 million in  compared to an expense of EUR  million 
in . The lower net expense in  was primarily driven by 
lower foreign exchange losses.

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

PROFIT (LOSS) BEFORE TAXES
Continuing operations profi t before tax was EUR  million 
in , compared to a loss of EUR   million in . Taxes 
amounted to EUR  million in  and EUR  million in 
.

NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS
Loss attributable to non-controlling interests from continuing 
operations totalled EUR  million in , compared with a 
loss attributable to non-controlling interests of EUR  million 
in . This change was primarily due to an improvement in 
NSN’s results and our acquisition of Siemens’ stake in NSN.

PROFIT ATTRIBUTABLE TO EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE PARENT 
AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Nokia Group’s total loss attributable to equity holders of the 
parent in  amounted to EUR  million, compared with a 
loss of EUR   million in . Continuing operations gener-
ated a profi t attributable to equity holders of the parent in 
, amounting to EUR  million, compared with a loss of 
EUR  million in . Nokia Group’s total earnings per share 
in  increased to EUR – . (basic) and EUR – . (diluted), 
compared with EUR – . (basic) and EUR – . (diluted) in 
. From continuing operations, earnings per share in  
increased to EUR . (basic) and EUR . (diluted), compared 
with EUR – . (basic) and EUR – . (diluted) in .

NET SALES
NSN’s net sales decreased % to EUR   million in , 
compared to EUR   million in . The year-on-year 
decline in NSN’s net sales was primarily due to reduced wire-
less infrastructure deployment activity aff ecting both Mobile 
Broadband and Global Services, as well as the divestments 
of businesses not consistent with its strategic focus, foreign 
currency fl uctuations, and the exiting of certain customer 
contracts and countries.

Mobile Broadband net sales declined % to EUR   mil-
lion in , compared to EUR   million in , as declines 
in WCDMA, CDMA and GSM were partially off  set by growth in 
both FD-LTE and TD-LTE, refl ecting the industry shift to G 
technology. Core network sales declined as a result of the 
customer focus on radio technologies.

Global Services net sales declined % to EUR   million 
in , compared to EUR   million in  primarily due

GROSS MARGIN
NSN’s gross margin was .% in , compared to .% 
in , driven by improved effi  ciency in Global Services, an 
improved product mix with a greater share of higher margin 
products, and the divestment of less profi table businesses.

In Mobile Broadband, gross margin improved in  driven 

by an increased software share in the product mix, off  set by 
costs incurred in anticipation of a technology shift to TD-LTE.
In Global Services, gross margin improved signifi cantly in 
 due to the increase in effi  ciencies as part of our restruc-
turing program and the exit of certain customer contracts and 
countries as part of NSN’s strategy to focus on more profi table 
business. 

OPERATING EXPENSES
NSN’s research and development expenses decreased % 
year-on-year in  to EUR   million from EUR   million 
in , primarily due to business divestments and reduced 
investment in business activities not in line with NSN’s focused 
strategy as well as increased research and development ef-
fi ciency, partially off  set by higher investments in business 
activities that are in line with NSN’s focused strategy, most 
notably LTE. 

NSN’s sales and marketing expenses decreased % year-
on-year in  to EUR  million from EUR   million in , 
primarily due to structural cost savings from NSN’s restruc-
turing program and a decrease in purchase price accounting 
related items arising from the formation of NSN, which were 
fully amortized at the end of the fi rst quarter of .

NSN’s administrative and general expenses increased % 
year-on-year in  to EUR  million from EUR  million in 
, primarily due to consultancy fees related to fi nance and 
information technology related projects, partially off  set by 
structural cost savings.

NSN’s other income and expenses decreased in  to 
an expense of EUR  million from an expense of EUR   
million in . In  other income and expenses included 
restructuring charges of EUR  million, including EUR  mil-
lion related to country and contract exits and EUR  million 
related to divestments to businesses, and in  included 
restructuring charges and associated charges of EUR   mil-
lion, including EUR  million related to country and contract 
exits, divestment of businesses EUR  million, impairments of 
assets of EUR  million, a negative adjustment of EUR  million 
to purchase price allocations related to the fi nal payment from 
Motorola, as well as amortization of acquired intangible assets 
of EUR  million.

OPERATING PROFIT (LOSS)
NSN’s operating profi t in  was EUR  million, compared 
with an operating loss of EUR  million in . NSN’s operat-
ing margin in  was .%, compared with a negative .% in 
. The increase in operating profi t was primarily a result of 
an increase in the contribution of Global Services and a reduc-
tion in costs associated with NSN’s transformation, consisting 
mainly of restructuring charges. Further, the purchase price 
accounting related items arising from the formation of NSN, 
which were fully amortized at the end of the fi rst quarter of 
.

The contribution of Mobile Broadband declined from EUR 
 million in  to EUR  million in , primarily as a 
result of lower net sales, which was partially off  set by an im-
proved gross margin and a reduction in operating expenses.

The contribution of Global Services increased from EUR  

million in  to EUR  million in , as the increase in 
gross margin more than compensated for the decline in net 
sales, and the contribution in  was further supported by a 
reduction in operating expenses.

STRATEGY AND RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM
In November , NSN announced its strategy to focus on 
mobile broadband and services, and also launched an exten-
sive global restructuring program, targeting the reduction of 
its annualized operating expenses and production overhead, 
excluding special items and purchase price accounting related 
items, by EUR  billion by the end of , compared to the end 
of . In January , this target was raised to EUR . billion, 
and in July  this target was further raised to “more than 
EUR . billion”. While these savings were expected to come 
largely from organizational streamlining, the program 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 suppli-
ers in order to further lower costs and improve quality. In , 
NSN achieved its target to reduce operating expenses and 
production overhead, excluding special items and purchase 

 
 
 
 
 
price accounting items, by more than EUR . billion by the end 
of , compared to the end of .

During , NSN recognized restructuring charges and 

other associated items of EUR  million related to this 
restructuring program, resulting in cumulative charges of 
approximately EUR   million. By the end of , NSN had 
cumulative restructuring related cash outfl ows of approxi-
mately EUR   million relating to this restructuring program. 
NSN expects restructuring related cash outfl ows to be ap-
proximately EUR  million for the full year  relating to 
this restructuring program.

 million in , compared to EUR  million in . The 
year-on-year decline in HERE internal net sales was due to low-
er recognition of deferred revenue related to our smartphone 
sales. The year-on-year increase in HERE external net sales in 
 was primarily due to higher sales to vehicle customers, 
partially off  set by lower sales to personal navigation devices 
customers. Additionally, HERE net sales were negatively af-
fected by foreign currency fl uctuations.

GROSS MARGIN
On a year-on-year basis, the decrease in HERE gross margin, 
.% in  compared to .% in , was primarily due to 
proportionally higher sales of update units to vehicle custom-
ers which generally carry a lower gross margin, partially off  set 
by lower costs related to service delivery.

OPERATING EXPENSES
HERE research and development expenses decreased % to 
EUR  million in  compared to EUR  million in , 
primarily due to a decrease in purchase price accounting 
related items, EUR  million in  compared to EUR  mil-
lion in , and cost reduction actions.

HERE sales and marketing expenses decreased % to EUR 
 million in  compared to EUR  million in , primar-
ily driven by a decrease in purchase price accounting items, 
EUR  million in  compared to EUR  million in , cost 
reduction actions and lower marketing spending.

HERE administrative and general expenses decreased % 

to EUR  million in  compared to EUR  million in , 
primarily due cost reduction actions.

In , HERE other income and expense had a slightly 

positive year-on-year impact on profi tability, decreasing from 
EUR  million in  to EUR  million in . In , we 
recognized restructuring charges of EUR  million in HERE, 
compared to EUR  million in .

OPERATING PROFIT (LOSS)
HERE operating loss decreased to EUR  million in , 
compared with a loss of EUR  million in . HERE operating 
margin in  was negative .%, compared with negative 
.% in . The year-on-year improvement in operating 
margin in  was driven primarily by the absence of signifi -
cant purchase price accounting related items arising from the 
purchase of NAVTEQ, the vast majority of which had been fully 
amortized as of the end of the second quarter of .

basis, EUR  million in  compared to EUR  million in 
, primarily due to a non-recurring license fee of EUR  mil-
lion in the fourth quarter , partially off  set by net increases 
in royalty payments from our licensees.

GROSS MARGIN 
On a year-on-year basis, the Advanced Technology gross mar-

million in , primarily due to lower research and develop-
ment costs, partially off  set by transaction related costs of EUR 
 million related to the Sale of the D&S Business.

Advanced Technologies sales and marketing expenses 
increased % to EUR  million in  compared to EUR 

NET SALES

  million compared to EUR   million in . The de-
cline in discontinued operations net sales in  was primarily 
due to lower Mobile Phones net sales and, to a lesser extent, 
lower Smart Devices net sales. The decline in Mobile Phones 
net sales was due to lower volumes and ASPs, aff ected by 
competitive industry dynamics, including intense smartphone 
competition at increasingly lower price points and intense 
competition at the low end of our product portfolio. The 
decline in Smart Devices net sales was primarily due to lower 
volumes, aff ected by competitive industry dynamics including 
the strong momentum of competing smartphone platforms, 
as well as our portfolio transition from Symbian products to 
Lumia products.

GROSS MARGIN
Discontinued operations gross margin improved to .% in 
 compared to .% in . The increase in gross margin 
in  was primarily due to a higher Smart Devices gross 
margin, partially off  set by slightly lower Mobile Phones gross 

es were fl at year-on-year, amounting to EUR  million.

Middle East & Africa 

Advanced Technologies other income and expense was ap-

with .% in . The year-on-year decline in operating 
margin was driven primarily by the transaction related costs of 
EUR  million related to the Sale of D&S Business to Microsoft, 
partially off  set by decreased restructuring charges.

primarily due to lower inventory related allowances, which 
negatively aff ected Smart Devices gross margin in .

OPERATING EXPENSES
Discontinued operations operating expenses were approxi-
mately EUR   million in , compared to approximately 
EUR   million in . The % decrease in  was due to 
lower Mobile Phones and Smart Devices operating expenses, 
primarily due to structural cost savings, as well as overall cost 
controls.

OPERATING PROFIT (LOSS)
Discontinued operations operating margin improved to 
negative .% in  compared to negative .% in . The 
improvement was primarily due to structural cost savings, as 
well as overall cost controls, and a higher gross margin.

MAIN EVENTS IN 2013

Nokia

■  Nokia completed the acquisition of Siemens’ stake in Nokia 

Siemens Networks on August , , making it wholly 
owned subsidiary of Nokia. The acquisition was initially 
announced on July , . In accordance with this transac-
tion, the Siemens name was phased out from Nokia Siemens 
Networks’ company name and branding. The new name and 
brand was announced to be Nokia Solutions and Networks, 
also referred to as NSN, which was also used for fi nancial 
reporting purposes.

■  On September , , Nokia announced that it had signed 
an agreement to enter into a transaction whereby Nokia 
would sell substantially all of its Devices & Services business

pleted on April , .

■  Nokia also announced changes to its leadership as a result 
of the announcement of the transaction with Microsoft in 
September. To avoid the perception of any potential confl ict 
of interest between the announcement and the consum-
mation of the transaction, Stephen Elop stepped aside as 
President and CEO of Nokia Corporation, resigned from the 
Board of Directors, and became Executive Vice President, 
Devices & Services. Risto Siilasmaa assumed an interim CEO 
role while continuing to serve in his role as Chairman of the 
Nokia Board of Directors and Timo Ihamuotila assumed an 

interim President role while also continuing to serve as CFO. 
Mr. Ihamuotila also assumed the responsibility of chairing

interim governance ended on May ,  after the an-
nouncement of the new strategy and management, includ-
ing the new President and CEO, Rajeev Suri.

■  As a result of the announcement of the Sale of D&S Business, 

Nokia Board conducted a strategy evaluation for Nokia 
Group, results of which were announced on April , . 
Nokia plans to focus on three established businesses: 
Networks, a leader in network infrastructure and ser-
vices; HERE, a leader in mapping and location services; and 
Technologies, which will build on several of Nokia’s current 
CTO and intellectual property rights activities.

broadband network architecture; Networks also helped 
all three major Korean operators – SK Telecom, LG U+ and 
Korea Telecom – to become the world’s fi rst to launch LTE-
Advanced services commercially.

■  Networks and SK Telecom of South Korea completed world’s 
fi rst proof-of-concept of Liquid Applications over LTE, and 
Networks successfully demonstrated its telco cloud capa-
bilities in a joint proof-of-concept for Evolved Packet Core 
(EPC) virtualization with SK Telecom.

SUSTAINABILITY AT NOKIA

At Nokia, we integrate responsible environmental and social 
practices into everything we do. We strive to create value for 
people and the planet, as well as for Nokia as a company. The 
basic principles of our sustainability work are: Valuing people 
in everything we do; Being Green and Clean, Unleashing the 
potential of technology for good; Making change happen 
together.

■  We used recycled plastics in the product cover for the fi rst 

time in the Lumia  Black variant.

■  We were able to maintain the good level of renewable elec-
tricity share in our facilities, %, despite the challenges in 
its availability in some areas.

■  Nokia was ranked second within the Communications 

Equipment industry in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes 
and ninth in Interbrand’s Best Global Green Brands survey.

■  Top ratings in both Performance and Disclosure ratings 

in The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Nordic  Climate 
Change Report. Ranked second among technology sector 
leaders in the FTSE ESG rating.

More information about sustainability at Nokia can be found 

from our annual Sustainability Report, available on our web-
site www.company.nokia.com/en/about-us/people-planet.

We go to great lengths to implement sustainable and ethi-

MANAGEMENT AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS

cal working practices in our own operations, and we expect 
the same from our suppliers. We have long fostered diversity, 
equality and respect for human rights and dignity. We do not 
tolerate corruption of any kind, whether internal to Nokia or in 
our business relationships. In addition, we enhance the health, 
safety and wellbeing of our workforce.

Our environmental work focuses on minimizing the poten-

tial negative impact, and is based on global principles and 
standards that we integrate in our business activities. We 
improve our offi  ces, factories, logistical operations and use 
of technologies in ways that save energy and reduce emis-
sions. In addition, we continuously improve the environmental 
credentials of all our products.

The power of mobility plays a key role in making people’s 
lives better, particularly in developing countries. Our technol-
ogies can help develop education and livelihoods. Additionally, 
mobile technology, if used in a smart way, can help people 
lower their environmental impact.

We believe collaboration with others can often be the most 
eff ective way to approach certain sustainability issues. That’s 
why we work with various organizations driving sustainable 
development and participate in public policy development 
initiatives across the world.

Some of the  sustainability highlights include:

■  % of Nokia employees think that “Nokia is socially and 

environmentally responsible”. This is an important achieve-
ment for us as our employees are a vital stakeholder group, 
and we have a high regard for their feedback on how we run 
our business.

■  We continued strengthening our performance in matters of 

occupational health and safety (OHS).

tion requires a resolution of the general meeting, supported 
by two-thirds of the votes cast and two-thirds of the shares 
represented at the meeting. 

Nokia’s Articles of Association include provisions for re-
demption obligation. Amendment of the provisions of Article

SHARES, SHARE CAPITAL AND 
SHAREHOLDERS

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

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

did Nokia issue any new shares.

In , Nokia transferred a total of    Nokia shares 
held by it as settlement under Nokia equity plans to the plan 
participants, personnel of Nokia Group, 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.

NOKIA OUTLOOK

Continuing Operations

■  Nokia expects Networks operating margin for the full year 
 to be towards the higher end of Networks’ targeted 
long term operating margin range of % to %. In addi-
tion, Nokia now expects Networks’ net sales to grow on a 
year-on-year basis in the second half of . This outlook 
is based on Nokia’s expectations regarding a number of fac-
tors, including:

  •  competitive industry dynamics;
  •  product and regional mix; 
  •  the timing of major new network deployments; and
  •  expected continued improvement under Networks’ 

  transformation programs.

■  In , Nokia expects HERE to invest to capture longer term 
transformational growth opportunities. This is expected to 
negatively aff ect HERE’s  operating margin, excluding 
special items and purchase price accounting related items.

■  Nokia expects Technologies annualized net sales run rate to 
expand to approximately EUR  million during , now 
that Microsoft has become a more signifi cant intellectual 
property licensee in conjunction with the Sale of the D&S 
Business.

■  Until a pattern of tax profi tability is re-established in 

Finland, Nokia continues to expect to record approximately 
EUR  million of annualized tax expense for the continuing 
operations. This corresponds to the anticipated cash tax 
obligations for Networks, HERE and Technologies. After a 
pattern of tax profi tability is re-established in Finland, Nokia 
expects to record tax expenses at a long term eff ective tax 
rate of approximately %, however Nokia’s cash tax obliga-
tions are expected to remain at approximately EUR  

million annually until Nokia’s currently unrecognized Finnish 
deferred tax assets have been fully utilized. 

■  Nokia expects full year  capital expenditures for con-
tinuing operations to be approximately EUR  million, 
primarily attributable to Networks.

RISK FACTORS

Set forth below is a description of risk factors that could aff ect 
Nokia. There may be, however, additional risks unknown to 
Nokia and other risks currently believed to be immaterial that 
could turn out to be material. These risks, either individually or 
together, could adversely aff ect our business, sales, profi tabil-
ity, results of operations, 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 factors to “Nokia”, “we”, “us” and “our” 
mean Nokia’s consolidated operating segments.

■  Nokia has announced a new strategy which is subject to 

various risks and uncertainties, including that Nokia may not 
be able to sustain or improve the operational and fi nancial 
performance of its continuing businesses or that Nokia may 
not be able to correctly identify business opportunities or 
successfully pursue new business opportunities.

■  Networks’ strategy focuses on mobile broadband and ac-

cordingly its sales and profi tability depend on its success in 
the mobile broadband infrastructure and related services 
market. Networks may fail to execute its strategy or to ef-
fectively and profi tably adapt its business and operations in 
a timely manner to the increasingly diverse solution needs 
of its customers in that market or technological develop-
ments.

■  Networks faces intense competition and may fail to eff ec-

tively and profi tably invest in new competitive high-quality 
products, services, upgrades and technologies and to bring 
them to market in a timely manner.

■  Our intellectual property (IP) portfolio includes various 
patented standardized or proprietary technologies on 
which our products and services depend and we also use our 
IP portfolio for revenue generation. Third parties may use 
without a license and unlawfully infringe our IP or commence 
actions seeking to establish the invalidity of the intellectual 
property rights of these technologies, or we may not be able 
to suffi  ciently invent new relevant technologies, products 
and services to develop and maintain our IP portfolio, main-
tain the existing sources of intellectual property related 
revenue or establish new sources.

■  Our HERE business includes various risks and uncertainties, 

including that we may be unable to maintain current sources 
of net sales in the vehicle segment from which our HERE 
business has historically derived most of its net sales from, 
establish a successful location-based platform, extend 
our location-based services across devices and operating 
systems or create new sources of revenue.

■  Our sales, profi tability and cash fl ow are dependent on the 

development of the mobile and communications industry in 
numerous diverse markets, as well as on general economic 
conditions globally and regionally.

■  Networks is dependent on a limited number of customers 
and large multi-year contracts and accordingly a loss of a 
single customer or issues related to a single contract can 
have a signifi cant impact on Networks.

■  We may be unable to retain, motivate, develop and recruit 

appropriately skilled employees.

■  We have operations in a number of countries and, as a result, 
face complex tax issues and could be obligated to pay ad-
ditional taxes in various jurisdictions. Further our actual or 
anticipated performance, among other factors, could reduce 
our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets.

■  We may fail to manage our manufacturing, service creation 
and delivery, as well as our logistics effi  ciently, and without 
interruption, or the limited number of suppliers we depend 
on may fail to deliver suffi  cient quantities of fully functional 
products and components or deliver timely services meeting 
our customers’ needs.

■  The Sale of the D&S Business may expose us to contingent 
liabilities and the agreements we have entered into with 
Microsoft may have terms that prove to be unfavorable to us.

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

eration of complex and centralized information technology 
systems and networks and we store certain personal and 
consumer data as part of our business operations. If a sys-
tem or network ineffi  ciency, cybersecurity breach, malfunc-
tion or disruption occurs, this could have a material adverse 
eff ect on our business and results of operations.

■  Our eff orts aimed at managing and improving fi nancial per-

formance, cost savings and competitiveness may not lead to 
targeted results or improvements.

■  Networks may be adversely aff ected by negative develop-

ments with respect to the customer fi nancing or extended 
payment terms it provides to customers.

■  If any of the companies we partner and collaborate with were 
to fail to perform as planned or if we fail to achieve the col-

laboration or partnering arrangements needed to succeed, 
we may not be able to bring our products or services to 
market successfully or in a timely way.

■  Our products and services 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 to con-
tinue 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, restrictions on our ability to use certain technologies in 
our products and/or costly and time-consuming litigation.

■  We are a company with global operations and with sales 

derived from various countries, exposing us to risks related 
to regulatory, political or other developments in various 
counties or regions.

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

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

■  We may not be able to achieve targeted benefi ts from or 

successfully implement planned transactions, such as acqui-
sitions, divestments, mergers or joint ventures, for instance 
due to issues in selecting successfully the targets or failures 
to execute transactions or due to unexpected liabilities as-
sociated with such transactions.

■  An unfavorable outcome of litigation, contract related 

disputes or allegations of health hazards associated with our 
business could have a material adverse eff ect on our busi-
ness, results of operations, fi nancial condition and reputa-
tion.

DIVIDEND AND PLANNED EUR 5 BILLION 
CAPITAL STRUCTURE OPTIMIZATION 
PROGRAM

As announced on April , , as a result of the closing of 
the Sale of the D&S Business, Nokia’s fi nancial position and 
earnings profi le have both improved signifi cantly. Furthermore, 
Nokia’s Board of Directors has conducted a thorough analysis 
of Nokia’s potential capital structure requirements. Based 
on this analysis, the Nokia Board is confi dent that Nokia has 
the fi nancial strength and fl exibility to sustain the long-term 
investments necessary to ensure industry leadership in the 
future.

of  months under Finnish regulations, and is expected to 
be re-proposed by the Nokia Board at the Annual General 
Meeting . The shares are expected to be cancelled. The 
shares may be repurchased in the open market, in privately 
negotiated transactions, through the use of derivative instru-
ments, or through a tender off er made to all shareholders on 
equal terms. The share repurchase authorization would be 
eff ective until December ,  and terminate the current 
authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on May 
, . The Nokia Board plans to commence the repurchases 
following the publication of the Company’s interim report for 
the second quarter of . 

In addition, Nokia plans to reduce interest bearing debt by 
approximately EUR  billion by the end of the second quarter 
. Once complete, the debt reduction is expected to result 
in annual run rate savings of at least EUR  million related to 
recurring interest costs. Furthermore, lowering our gross debt 
level is aligned with our target to return to being an invest-
ment grade company. Nokia intends to reduce interest bearing 
debt by utilizing applicable maturity dates, call dates, or other 
terms allowing early redemption or retirement of debt or by 
making off ers to repurchase debt in the open market.

Board of Directors, Nokia Corporation
April , 

In addition, to improve the effi  ciency of Nokia’s capital 

structure, the Nokia Board announced plans for a EUR  billion 
capital structure optimization program which focuses on re-
commencing ordinary dividends, distributing deemed excess 
capital to shareholders, and reducing interest bearing debt.  
This comprehensive program consists of the following 

components:

■  Recommencement of ordinary dividend payments, with at 
least EUR  million of ordinary dividends in total planned 
for  and , as follows:

 ▪  An ordinary dividend for  of EUR . per share 

(approximately EUR  million), subject to shareholder 
approval in ; and

 ▪  A planned ordinary dividend for  of at least EUR . 

per share (at least approximately EUR  million), subject 
to shareholder approval in ;

■  An special dividend of EUR . per share, subject to share-

holder approval in  (approximately EUR  billion);

■  A EUR . billion share repurchase program, subject to the 
authorization to the Board by the shareholders in ; and 

■  Debt reduction of approximately EUR  billion by the end of 

the second quarter .

As part of the overall capital structure optimization 
program, Nokia Board of Directors proposes to the Annual 
General Meeting, scheduled to take place on June ,  
(Annual General Meeting ), the recommencement of ordi-
nary dividend payments to shareholders. The Nokia Board pro-
poses to the Annual General Meeting  that a dividend of 
EUR . per share be paid with respect to the year , which 
equals approximately half of Nokia’s earnings from continuing 
operations in , excluding special items and purchase price 
accounting related items. This ordinary dividend for  is 
expected to be paid on or about July , . 

Furthermore, the Nokia Board plans to propose an ordinary 
dividend of at least EUR . per share with respect to the year 
 to the Annual General Meeting convening in spring .

The Nokia Board of Directors proposes to the Annual 

General Meeting  a special dividend of EUR . per share 
(approximately EUR  billion). The special dividend is expected 
to be paid on or about July , .

The Nokia Board also proposes a share repurchase authori-

zation to facilitate the EUR . billion of planned share re-
purchases over two years. The Nokia Board proposes that the 
Annual General Meeting  authorize the Board to resolve 
to repurchase a maximum of  million Nokia shares, which 
corresponds to less than % of Nokia shares outstanding. 
The term of the repurchase authorization is for the maximum

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 
April , . 

In the prior year, the Group’s operational structure featured 
three businesses: Devices & Services, HERE and Nokia Siemens 
Networks, also referred to as NSN. For fi nancial reporting 
purposes, the Group previously reported four operating seg-
ments: Smart Devices and Mobile Phones within the Devices & 
Services business, HERE and Nokia Siemens Networks. 

On August ,  Nokia completed the acquisition of 
Siemens’ stake in Nokia Siemens Networks, which was previ-
ously a consolidated subsidiary and business owned by Nokia 
and Siemens. Upon acquisition, the name of the business was 
changed to Nokia Solutions and Networks, also referred to as 
NSN. As a result of the acquisition, NSN is now a wholly owned 
subsidiary of Nokia and Nokia reports two operating segments 
within the NSN business: Mobile Broadband and Global Services. 
On September ,  Nokia announced that it had signed 

an agreement to enter into a transaction whereby Nokia 
sold substantially all of its Devices & Services business to 
Microsoft (“sale of the D&S business”). Upon receiving share-
holder confi rmation and approval of the transaction at Nokia’s 
Extraordinary General Meeting in November , substan-
tially all of the Devices & Services business was determined to 
constitute discontinued operations. The fi nancial results for 
the discontinued operations are now reported separately in 
accordance with IFRS  along with the luxury phone business 
Vertu which was disposed of in the last quarter of . The 
Sale of D&S Business was completed on April , .

In connection with the transactions noted above, the Group 

considered how operating results are reported and reviewed 
by management and the Group’s Chief Operating Decision 
Maker, and identifi ed four operating and reportable segments: 
Mobile Broadband and Global Services within NSN, HERE and 
Advanced Technologies. 

The HERE brand was introduced for our location and map-

ping service in , and as of January ,  our former 
Location & Commerce business and reportable segment was 
renamed HERE. 

As announced by Nokia on April , , Nokia has made 
certain changes to the names of its businesses and reportable 

segments. However, when presenting fi nancial information 
as at December ,  and related comparative information 
for previous periods, we generally refer to the names of the 
businesses and reportable segments as they were named at 
December , . However, the terms “Networks” and “Nokia 
Solutions and Networks, or “NSN”, as well as “Technologies” 
and “Advanced Technologies” can be used interchangeably in 
this annual report.

The consolidated statements of fi nancial position and 
certain notes to the fi nancial statements include changes in 
presentation format. To allow meaningful comparison be-
tween years, comparative information has been aligned with

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

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. 

The adoption of each of the above mentioned standards did 
not have a material impact to the consolidated fi nancial state-
ments. Additional disclosures required by the new standards 
have been provided in the notes. 

Revised IAS  Employee Benefi ts discontinues use of 
the ‘corridor’ approach and remeasurement impacts are 
recognized in other comprehensive income. Net interest as 
a product of discount rate and adjusted net pension liability 
at the start of the annual reporting period is recognized in 
the consolidated income statements while the return on plan 
assets, excluding amounts included in net interest is 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. 

As a result of adopting the revised IAS , the net pension 

liabilities and other comprehensive income were impacted 
mainly by the retrospectively applied elimination of the ‘corri-
dor’ approach for  and . In total, for , net pension 
liabilities increased by EUR  million (EUR  million for ) 
and other comprehensive income decreased by EUR  mil-
lion (EUR  million in ), net of tax. 

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 these 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. The 
Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has 
right to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity 
and has the ability to aff ect those returns through its power 
over the entity. The Group’s share of profi ts and losses of 
associates is included in the consolidated income statement 
in accordance with the equity method of accounting. An as-
sociate 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 subsidiar-
ies, over % of the voting rights of the company. 

All inter-company transactions are eliminated as part of the 

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

The entities or businesses acquired during the fi nancial peri-
ods presented have been consolidated from the date on which 
control of the net assets and operations was transferred to 
the Group. Similarly, the results 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 determin-
ing 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 of disposal or its 
value in use. If there is no reason to believe that the cash-
generating unit’s value in use materially exceeds its fair value 
less costs of disposal, the Group may use fair value less costs 
of disposal as its recoverable amount. 

A 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 al-
located, on a reasonable and consistent basis, to the relevant 
units. The aggregate total carrying amount of the unit, includ-
ing the portion of the carrying amount of the corporate assets 
allocated to the unit, is compared with its recoverable amount. 
An impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount is 
less than the carrying amount. Impairment losses are recog-
nized immediately in the income statement. 

Disposals of separate entities or businesses 
When a disposal transaction causes the Group to relinquish 
control over a separate entity or business, the Group records a 
gain or loss on disposal at the disposal date. The gain or loss on 
disposal is calculated as the diff erence between the fair value 

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

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. 

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. 

Discontinued operations and assets held 
for disposal 
Discontinued operations are reported when a component of 
an entity comprising operations and cash fl ows that can be 
clearly distinguished, operationally and for fi nancial report-
ing purposes, from the rest of the entity is classifi ed as held 
for disposal or has been disposed of, if the component either 
() represents a major line of business or geographical area of 
operations or () is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dis-
pose of a separate major line of business or geographical area 
of operations. In the consolidated income statement, results 
from discontinued operations is reported separately from 
income and expenses from continuing operations and prior 
periods are presented on a comparative basis. Cash fl ows for 
discontinued operations are presented separately in Note . In 
order to present the fi nancial eff ects of the continuing opera-
tions and discontinued operation revenues and expenses 
arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated except for 
those revenues and expenses that are considered to continue 
after the disposal of the discontinued operations. 

Non-current assets or disposal groups are classifi ed as as-
sets held for sale when the carrying amount is to be recovered 
principally through a sale transaction rather than through con-
tinuing use. For this to be the case, the asset or disposal group 
must be available for immediate sale in its present condition 
subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales 
of such assets or disposal groups and the sale must be highly 
probable. Non-current assets classifi ed as held for sale and 
disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying 
amount or fair value less costs to sell. 

Foreign currency translation 

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 
monetary assets and liabilities are valued at the rates of ex-
change prevailing at the end of the accounting period. Foreign 

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 capi-
tal 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 
Revenues within the Group are generally recognized when the 
signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to 
the buyer, continuing managerial involvement usually associ-
ated with ownership and eff ective control have ceased, the 
amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that 
economic benefi ts associated with the transaction will fl ow to 
the Group and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect 
of the transaction can be measured reliably. When manage-
ment determines that such criteria have been met, revenue is 
recognized. 

NSN enters into transactions which involve multiple compo-
nents consisting of any combination of hardware, services and 
software. Within these arrangements, separate components 
are identifi ed and accounted for based on the nature and fair 
value of those components and considering the economic 
substance of the entire arrangement. Revenue is allocated to 
each separately identifi able component based on the relative 
fair value of each component. The fair value of each compo-
nent is determined by taking into consideration factors such 
as the price of the component when sold separately and the 
component cost plus a reasonable margin when price refer-
ences are not available. This determination of the fair value 
and allocation thereof to each separately identifi able compo-
nent of a transaction requires the use of estimates and judg-
ment which may have a signifi cant impact on the timing and 
amount of revenue recognized for the period. Service revenue, 
which typically includes managed services and maintenance 
services, is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over 
the specifi ed period unless there is evidence that some other 
method better represents the rendering of services.

Also at NSN, certain revenue is recognized from contracts 
involving solutions achieved through modifi cation of complex 

30

N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 3

telecommunications equipment on a percentage of comple-
tion basis when the outcome of the contract can be estimated 
reliably. Recognized revenues and profi t estimates are subject 
to revisions during the project in the event that the assump-
tions regarding the overall project outcome are revised. 
Current sales and profi t estimates for projects may materi-
ally change due to the early stage of a long-term project, new 
technology, changes in the project scope, changes in costs, 
changes in timing, changes in customers’ plans, realization of 
penalties, and other corresponding factors.

Within the HERE business, a substantial majority of revenue 

is derived from the licensing of the HERE database. Revenue 
which consists of license fees from usage (including license 
fees in excess of the nonrefundable minimum fees), are rec-
ognized in the period in which the license fees are estimable. 
Nonrefundable minimum annual licensing fees are generally 
received upfront and represent a minimum guarantee of fees 
to be received from the licensee during the period of the 
arrangement. The total up-front fee paid by the customer 
is generally amortized ratably over the term of the arrange-
ment. When it is determined that the actual amount of licens-
ing fees earned exceeds the cumulative revenue recognized 
under the amortization method, we recognize the additional 
licensing revenue. Furthermore, within the HERE business, 
some licensing arrangements contain multiple elements, that 
could include data, software, services and updates. Revenue is 
allocated to each element based on its relative fair value and 
is recognized as the element is delivered and the obligation is 
fulfi lled. 

Advanced Technologies’ patent license agreements are mul-

ti-year arrangements usually covering both a licensee’s past 
and future sales until a certain agreed date, when the license 
expires. When a patent license agreement is signed, it includes 
an agreement or settlement on past royalties that the licen-
sor is entitled to. Such income for past periods is recognized 
immediately. The license payments relating to the future 
royalties are recognized over the remaining contract period, 
typically  to  years. Licensees often pay a fi xed license fee 
in one or more installments and running royalties based on 
their sales of licensed products. Licensees generally report 
and pay their running royalties on a quarterly basis after the 
end of each quarter and Nokia revenue recognition takes place 
accordingly at the time the royalty reports are received. 

Within Devices & Services business reported as discon-

tinued operations, a sale of devices can include multiple 
components consisting of a combination of hardware, ser-
vices and software. The commercial eff ect of each separately 
identifi able element of the transaction is evaluated in order 
to determine the appropriate accounting treatment for each 
component of the transaction. The total amount received is 
allocated to individual components based on their estimated 
fair value. Fair value of each component is determined by tak-
ing into consideration factors such as the price when the com-
ponent is sold separately, the price when a similar component 
is sold separately by a third party and cost plus a reasonable 

margin when pricing references are not available. The esti-
mated fair values are allocated fi rst to software and services, 
and the residual amount allocated to hardware. Application of 
the recognition criteria described above generally results in 
recognition of hardware related revenue at the time of deliv-
ery with software and services related revenue recognized on 
a straight-line basis over their respective terms. 

Also within the Devices & Services business, estimated 
reductions to revenue are recorded for special pricing agree-
ments and other volume based discounts at the time of sale. 
Sales adjustments for volume based discount programs are 
estimated largely based on historical activity under similar 
programs. 

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 technol-
ogy are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line 
method over their useful lives, generally  to  years. Where 
an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of 
the related intangible asset is assessed for recoverability. Any 
resulting impairment losses are recognized immediately in the 
income statement. 

Employee benefi ts 

PENSIONS 
The Group companies have various pension schemes in accord-
ance with the local conditions and practices in the countries 
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 consolidated income statements in 
the 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 

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

31

the consolidated income statements so as to spread the cur-
rent service cost over the service lives of employees. Pension 
obligation is measured as the present value of the estimated 
future cash outfl ows using interest rates on high quality 
corporate bonds with appropriate maturities. Actuarial gains 
and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes 
in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in 
other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. 
Past service costs and settlement gains and losses are rec-

ognized immediately in income as part of service cost, when 
the plan amendment or settlement occurs. Curtailment gains 
and losses are accounted for as past service costs. 

The liability (or asset) recognized in the consolidated state-

ments of fi nancial position is the pension obligation at the 
closing date less the fair value of plan assets including eff ects 
of asset ceilings (if any). 

Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the 

eff ect of changes to the asset ceiling and the return on plan 
assets (excluding interest), are recognized immediately in the 
consolidated statements of fi nancial position with the cor-
responding change to retained earnings recognized through 
other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. 
Remeasurements are not reclassifi ed to profi t and loss in 
subsequent periods. 

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. 

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. Assets held for 
sale are not depreciated as they are carried at the lower of car-
rying value or fair value less cost to sell. 

Maintenance, repairs and renewals are generally charged to 
expense during the fi nancial period in which they are incurred. 
However, major renovations are capitalized and included in the 
carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future 
economic benefi ts in excess of the originally assessed stand-
ard of performance of the existing asset will fl ow to the Group. 
Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful 
life of the related asset. Leasehold improvements are depreci-
ated over the shorter of the lease term or useful life. 

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

in operating profi t/loss. 

Leases 
The Group has entered into various operating lease contracts. 
The related payments are treated as rentals and recognized in 
the consolidated income statements on a straight-line basis 
over the lease terms unless another systematic approach is 
more representative 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. 

Fair value measurement 
Many fi nancial instruments are measured at fair value at each 
reporting date after initial recognition. Fair value is the price 
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a 
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants 
at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset or a liabil-
ity is measured using the assumptions that market partici-
pants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming 
that market participants act in their economic best interest by 
using quoted market rates, discounted cash fl ow analyses and 
other appropriate valuation models. The Group uses valua-
tion techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and 
for which suffi  cient data are available to measure fair value, 
maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimiz-
ing the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities 
for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the fi nancial 
statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, 
described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is 
signifi cant to the fair value measurement as a whole: 

■  Level  – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets 

for identical assets or liabilities 

32

N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 3

■  Level  – Valuation techniques for which signifi cant 

inputs other than quoted prices are directly or indirectly 
observable 

■  Level  – Valuation techniques for which signifi cant inputs are 

unobservable 

The Group categorizes assets and liabilities that are meas-
ured at fair value to the appropriate level of fair value hierar-
chy at the end of each reporting period. 

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 consolidated statements of fi nancial posi-
tion as current available-for-sale investments, cash equiva-
lents. 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 acquisition of longer than  months, are 
classifi ed in the consolidated statements of fi nancial position 
as current available-for-sale investments, liquid assets. () In-
vestments in technology related publicly quoted equity shares, 
or unlisted private equity shares and unlisted funds, are clas-
sifi ed in the consolidated statements of fi nancial position as 
non-current available-for-sale investments. 

Investments in publicly quoted equity shares are meas-
ured at fair value using exchange quoted bid prices. Other 
available-for-sale investments carried at fair value include 
holdings in unlisted shares where the fair value is estimated 
by using various factors, including, but not limited to: () the 
current market value of similar instruments, () prices estab-
lished 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 Group uses judgment to select 
an appropriate valuation methodology as well as underlying 
assumptions based on existing market practice and condi-
tions. Changes in these assumptions may cause the Group to 
recognize impairments or losses in future periods. 

The remaining available-for-sale investments, which are 
technology related investments in private equity shares and 

unlisted funds for which the fair value cannot be measured 
reliably due to non-existence of public markets or reliable 
valuation methods against which to value these assets, 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 
being disposed of by the Group. The 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 one of the following criteria 
must be met: () the designation eliminates or signifi cantly 
reduces an inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise 
from measuring the assets or recognizing gains or losses on a 
diff erent basis; or () the assets are part of a group of fi nancial 
assets, which are managed and their performance evaluated 
on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk 
management or investment strategy. 

These investments are initially recognized and subsequently 

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-

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

33

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 consolidated statement of fi nan-
cial 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 less allowances for doubtful accounts, which 
is considered to be fair value. Allowances for doubtful accounts 
are 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 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 convertible bonds, which are compound 
fi nancial instruments, and their 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 rec-
ognized in fi nancial income and expenses over the life of the 
instrument. The long-term portion of loans payable is included 
on the consolidated statement of fi nancial position under 
long-term interest-bearing liabilities and the current portion 
under current portion of long-term loans. 

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 state-
ments of cash fl ows as the underlying hedged items relate to 
the Group’s operating activities. When a derivative contract is 
accounted for as a hedge of an identifi able position relating to 
fi nancing or investing activities, the cash fl ows of the contract 
are classifi ed in the same manner as the cash fl ows of the 
position being hedged. 

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

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 are recognized in 
fi nancial income and expenses. 

Embedded derivatives are identifi ed and monitored by the 

Group. Embedded derivatives are measured at fair value at 
each balance sheet date with changes in the fair value recog-
nized 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. 

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. 

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 

34

N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 3

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 vari-
ations in cash fl ows that could ultimately aff ect profi t or loss, 
and 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. 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 for-
ward foreign exchange contracts, or change in the time value 
for options, or options 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. 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 nan-
cial assets are recognized in the consolidated statements of 
fi nancial position, the gains and losses previously deferred are 
transferred 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 good-
will assessments in case of business acquisitions and through 
depreciation 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 prospec-
tively 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 hedg-

ing 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. For hedging instru-
ments 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 hedg-
ing 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 accounting, 
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 in fi nancial income 
and expenses 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 
shareholder’s equity. The change in fair value that refl ects 
the change in forward exchange rates less the change in spot 
exchange rates is recognized in 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 denominated loan is used as a 
hedge, all foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the 
transaction are recognized in translation diff erences within 
consolidated shareholder’s equity. In all cases, the ineff ective 
portion is recognized immediately in profi t and loss. 

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 income tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax. 
Current taxes are based on the results of the Group companies 
and are calculated according to local tax rules. Taxes are recog-
nized in the consolidated income statements, except to the ex-
tent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive 
income or directly in equity, in which case, the tax is recognized 
in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively. 

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax 

returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax 
regulation is subject to interpretation. It adjusts the amounts 
recorded where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected 
to be paid to the tax authorities. The amount of current 
income tax liabilities is adjusted when, despite management’s 
belief that tax return positions are supportable, it is more 
likely than not that certain tax positions will be challenged 
and may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities. 
The amounts recorded are based upon the estimated future 
settlement amount at each reporting date. Current income tax 
assets and liabilities are presented separately in the consoli-
dated statements of fi nancial position and amounts recorded 
in respect of uncertain tax positions are presented as part of 
current income tax liabilities. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined, for all 
temporary diff erences arising between tax bases of assets 
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated 
fi nancial statements using the liability method. Deferred tax 
assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that fu-
ture 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 deferred tax assets are assessed 
for realizability and when circumstances indicate it is no longer 
probable that deferred tax assets will be utilized, they are ad-
justed as necessary. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for 
temporary diff erences 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 erent taxable entities where there is an intention to settle 
the balances on a net basis. 

Deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from 
the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax liabili-
ties are provided on taxable temporary diff erences arising 
from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ar-
rangements, except for deferred income tax liability where the 
timing of the reversal of the temporary diff erence is controlled 
by the Group and it is probable that the temporary diff erence 
will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

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 facts 
and circumstances 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. 

PROJECT LOSS PROVISIONS 
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. 

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. 

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

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

OTHER PROVISIONS 
The Group provides for other contractual and other obliga-
tions based on the expected cost of executing any such 
contractual and other commitments. 

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 in-
crease 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 

36

N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 3

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. 

 The Group has also issued certain stock options which are 
accounted for as cash-settled. Related employee services re-
ceived, 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 re-
measured at each reporting date and at the date of settlement 
and related change in fair value is recognized in the consolidat-
ed income statements over the relevant service periods. 

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

Dividends 
Dividends proposed by the Board of Directors are recorded 
in the consolidated fi nancial statements when 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 bonds 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 the convertible bonds. 

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 
The majority of the Group’s sales are recognized as revenue 
when the signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership have trans-
ferred to the buyer, continuing managerial involvement usually 
associated with ownership and eff ective control have ceased, 
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable 
that economic benefi ts associated with the transaction will 
fl ow to the Group and the costs incurred or to be incurred in re-
spect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Sales could 
materially change if management’s assessment of such criteria 
changes. 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 compo-
nent. The NSN allocation method is based on relative fair value, 
while the allocation of revenue for multiple component ar-
rangements within the Devices & Services business reported as 
discontinued operations is based on the residual value method. 
The consideration allocated to each component is recognized 
as revenue when the revenue recognition criteria for that com-
ponent have been met. Determination of the fair value for each 
component requires the use of estimates and judgment taking 
into consideration factors which may have a signifi cant impact 
on the timing and amount of revenue recognition. Examples 
of such factors include price when the component is sold 
separately by the Group or the price when a similar component 
is sold separately by the Group or a third party. 

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 the actual fi nancial position of 
the customers or general economic conditions diff er from 
assumptions, the ultimate collectability of such fi nancings and 
trade credits may be required to be re-assessed, which could 
result in a write-down 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 in-
stitutions on a non-recourse basis in exchange for an upfront 
cash payment. 

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 infringe-
ment provision. The ultimate outcome or actual cost of settling 
an individual infringement may materially vary from estimates. 

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

RESTRUCTURING PROVISIONS 
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. 

PROJECT LOSS PROVISIONS
The Group provides for onerous contracts based on the lower 
of the expected cost of fulfi lling the contract and the expected 
cost of termination the contract. Due to the long-term nature 
of customer projects, changes in estimates of costs to be 
incurred, and therefore project loss estimates, may become 
necessary as the projects are executed.

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 (IPR) 
INFRINGEMENTS 

The Group provides for the estimated past costs related to al-
leged asserted IPR infringements. The provision is an estimate 

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. 

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 ex-
pected future cash fl ows attributable to the asset or cash-gen-
erating unit discounted to present value. The key assumptions 
applied in the determination of recoverable amount include 
discount rate, length of an explicit forecast period, estimated 
growth rates, profi t margins and level of operational and capi-
tal investment. Amounts estimated could diff er materially from 
what will actually occur in the future. See also Note . 

INCOME TAXES 
Management judgment is required in determining current 
tax expense, uncertain tax positions, deferred tax assets and 
liabilities and the extent to which deferred tax assets can be 
recognized. Each reporting period deferred tax assets 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. In the event any deferred 
tax assets are to be re-recognized, they would be subject to 

38

detailed analysis to assess any potential impact on the fi nal 
amount to be recognized.

At December , , Nokia’s continuing operations in 
Finland had approximately EUR . billion (calculated at the 
Finnish corporate tax rate of %) of net deferred tax assets 
that have not been recognized in the fi nancial statements. 
A signifi cant portion of Nokia’s Finnish deferred tax assets 
are indefi nite in nature and available against future Finnish 
taxable income. The Group will continue closely monitoring the 
realizability of these deferred tax assets, including assessing 
future fi nancial performance of continuing activities in Finland. 
Should the recent improvements in the continuing fi nancial 
results be sustained, all or part of the unrecognized deferred 
tax assets may be recognized in the future. 

In the Netherlands and in certain other jurisdictions, the uti-
lization 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 suf-
fi cient taxable profi ts will be available in the future from which 
the reversal of temporary diff erences and tax losses can be de-
ducted. 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. 
Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are recorded based on 

estimates and assumptions when, despite management’s be-
lief 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 jurisdic-
tions, including India. If the fi nal outcome of these matters 
diff ers from the amounts initially recorded, diff erences may 
impact the income tax expense in the period in which such 
determination is made. 

PENSIONS AND OTHER LONG-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS 
The determination of pension benefi t obligation and ex-
pense for defi ned benefi t pension plans and other long-term 
employee benefi ts is dependent on the Group’s selection of 
certain assumptions which are used by actuaries in calculating 
such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, the 
discount rate and annual rate of increase in future compensa-
tion levels. A portion of plan assets is invested in equity securi-
ties, 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 . 

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

IFRS  Financial Instruments refl ects the fi rst phase of the 
IASB’s work on the replacement of IAS  Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement and will change the classifi ca-

tion and measurement of the Group’s fi nancial assets and 
introduced a new hedge accounting model. The Group is plan-
ning to adopt the standard on the revised eff ective date of 
not earlier than January , . The Group will assess IFRS ’s 
full impact when all phases have been completed and the fi nal 
standard is issued. 

The amendments described below will be adopted on 
January ,  and they are not expected to have a material 
impact on the fi nancial condition and the results of operations 
of the Group. 

Amendment to IAS  Off  setting Financial Assets and 
Financial Liabilities clarifi es the meaning of “currently has a 
legally enforceable right to set-off  ”. 

Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets 
(Amendments to IAS ) adds guidance to IAS  Impairment 
of Assets on disclosure of recoverable amounts and discount 
rates. 

Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge 

Accounting (Amendments to IAS ) makes it clear that IAS  
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement does not 
require discontinuing hedge accounting if a hedging derivative 
is novated, provided certain criteria are met. 

Defi ned Benefi t Plans: Employee Contributions (Amend-
ments to IAS ) clarifi es IAS  Employee Benefi ts require-
ments that relate to how contributions from employees or 
third parties that are linked to service should be attributed to 
periods of service. 

 IFRIC  Levies, an interpretation of IAS  Provisions, 

Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets clarifi es that the 
obligating event giving rise to a liability to pay a levy to a gov-
ernment agency is the activity that triggers the payment. 

2.  SEGMENT INFORMATION 

Nokia has three continuing businesses: NSN, HERE and Ad-
vanced Technologies, and four operating and reportable seg-
ments for fi nancial reporting purposes: Mobile Broadband and 
Global Services within the NSN, HERE and Advanced Technolo-
gies. Also, Devices & Services business, which is presented as 
discontinued operations, forms an operating and reportable 
segment.

Nokia adopted its current operational and reporting struc-

ture during  in response to the following events: 

■  On August ,  Nokia announced that it had completed 

the acquisition of Siemens’ stake in Nokia Siemens Networks 
also referred to as NSN. Until then, NSN was reported as a 
single reportable segment. Following the completion of the 
transaction Nokia Solutions and Networks also referred to 
as NSN (formerly Nokia Siemens Networks) became a wholly 
owned subsidiary of Nokia and the chief operating decision 
maker started to evaluate the business more from a product 
perspective. As a result, NSN business has two operating 
and reportable segments, Mobile Broadband and Global 
Services.

Advanced Technologies includes net sales from both intellec-
tual property right activities and technology licensing. 

Corporate Common Functions consists of company-wide 

functions. 

Devices & Services business focuses on developing and 
selling smartphones powered by the Windows Phone system, 
feature phones and aff ordable smart phones. 

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

No single customer represents % or more of Group 

revenues. 

■  On September ,  Nokia signed an agreement to enter 
into a transaction whereby Nokia sold substantially all of 
its Devices & Services business to Microsoft (“sale of the 
D&S business”). After receiving shareholder confi rmation 
and approval at Nokia’s Extraordinary General Meeting on 
November ,  for the transaction, Nokia began pre-
senting substantially all of its former Devices & Services 
business as discontinued operations, and Advanced 
Technologies as an operating and reportable segment. 
Previously Advanced Technologies was part of the Devices & 
Services business. The Sale of D&S Business was completed 
on April , .

■  Substantially all of the former Devices & Services business is 
presented as discontinued operations and at the same time 
forms an operating and reportable segment. Discontinued 
business is described in more detail in note . 

Prior period results have been regrouped and recasted for 
comparability purposes according to the new operational and 
reporting structure. 

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 Mobile Broadband and Global Services consists of net sales, 
cost of sales and operating expenses, and excludes restruc-
turing and associated charges, purchase price accounting 
related charges and certain other items not directly related 
to the segments. Operating profi t is presented for HERE and 
Advanced Technologies. The chief operating decision maker 
evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates 
resources to them based on operating profi t/contribution. 

Mobile Broadband provides mobile operators with radio and 

core network software together with the hardware needed to 
deliver mobile voice and data services. 

Global Services provides mobile operators with a broad 
range of services from network planning and optimization 
to network implementation, system integration and care 
services, as well as managed services for network and service 
operations. 

NSN Other includes net sales and related cost of sales and 
operating expenses of non-core businesses as well as Optical 
Networks business until May ,  when its divestment 
was completed. It also includes restructuring and associated 
charges as well as purchase price accounting related charges 
and certain other items for NSN business. 

HERE focuses on the development of location-based ser-
vices and local commerce. The HERE brand was introduced for 
our location and mapping service in , and as of January , 
 our former Location & Commerce business and report-
able segment was renamed HERE. 

The Advanced Technologies business builds on Nokia’s Chief 
Technology Offi  ce (CTO) and Intellectual Property Rights activi-
ties. Advanced Technologies focuses on technology develop-
ment and licensing and is planning to continue to build Nokia’s 
patent portfolio and expand its technology licensing program.

6.  PENSIONS 

The Group operates a number of post-employment plans in 
various countries including both defi ned contribution and 
defi ned benefi t schemes. These plans expose the Group to 
actuarial risks such as, investment risk, interest rate risk, life 
expectancy risk and salary risk. The characteristics and associ-
ated risks of the defi ned benefi t plans vary depending on legal, 
fi scal, and economic requirements in each country. These char-
acteristics and risks are further described below relating to the 
plans included in the continuing operations of the Group. 

Any of the following  disclosures are attributable to the 

continuing operations only. Disclosures relating to  and 
 comparative annual periods represent the results for 
the entire consolidated Group. Accordingly, the current year 
results are not directly comparable to the prior periods.

Change in accounting policy 
At January , , the Group adopted the Revised IAS  Em-
ployee Benefi ts. Actuarial gains and losses under the revised 
standard are required to be recognized immediately and in 
full in other comprehensive income and such balances are 
excluded permanently from the consolidated income state-
ment. Previously, all actuarial gains and losses were deferred in 
accordance with the corridor method. 

Calculation of the pension expense has been simplifi ed 
under the revised standard and the related impacts to the 
Group’s loss presented in the historical comparative consoli-
dated income statements are not material. The main changes 
relate to the fully recognized actuarial gains and losses which 
impact the relevant net pension assets and liabilities and other 
comprehensive income. 

The revised IAS  requires retrospective application for all 

fi nancial statements presented. The adjustments resulting 
from the implementation of the revised standard for the years 
ended December ,  and December ,  are present-

The Group’s most signifi cant defi ned benefi t pension plans 

are in Germany, UK, India and Switzerland. Together they 
account for % (% in ) of the Group’s total defi ned 
benefi t obligation and % (% in ) of the Group’s total 
plan assets. 

Germany 
The majority of active employees in Germany participate in the 
cash balance plan BAP (Beitragsorientierter Alterversorgungs 
Plan), formerly known as Beitragsorientierte Siemens Alterver-
sorgung (“BSAV”). Individual benefi ts are generally dependent 
on eligible compensation levels, ranking within the Group and 
years of service. This plan is a partly funded defi ned benefi t 
pension plan, the benefi ts of which are subject to a minimum 
return guaranteed by the Group. The funding vehicle for the BAP 
plan is the NSN Pension Trust e.V. The trust is legally separate 
from the Group and manages the plan assets in accordance with 
the respective trust agreements with the Group. The risks spe-
cifi c to the German defi ned benefi t plans are related to changes 
in mortality of covered members and investment return of the 
plan assets. Curtailments were recognized in service costs for 
German pension plans during  as a result of reduction in 
workforce in  and the planned reduction in . 

United Kingdom 
The Group has a UK defi ned benefi t plan divided into two sec-
tions: the money purchase section and the fi nal salary section, 
both being closed to future contributions and accruals as of 
April , . Individual benefi ts are generally dependent on 
eligible compensation levels and years of service for the de-
fi ned benefi t section of the plan and on individual investment 
choices for the defi ned contribution section of the plan. The 
funding vehicle for the pension plan is the NSN Pension Plan 
that is run on a trust basis. 

India 
Government mandated gratuity and provident plans provide 
benefi ts based on years of service and projected salary levels 
at the date of separation for the Gratuity Plan and through 
an interest rate guarantee on existing investments in a 
government prescribed Provident Fund Trust. Gratuity Fund 
plan assets are invested and managed through an insurance 
policy. Provident Fund Assets are managed by NSN PF Trustees 
through a pattern prescribed by the Government in various 
fi xed income securities. 

Switzerland 
The Group’s Swiss pension plans are governed by the Swiss 
Federal Law on Occupational Retirements, Survivors’ and 
Disability Pension plans (BVG), which stipulates that pension 
plans are to be managed by an independent, legally autono-
mous unit. In Switzerland, individual benefi ts are provided 
through the collective foundation Profond. The plan’s benefi ts 
are based on age, years of service, salary and an individual 
old age account. The funding vehicle for the pension scheme 
is the Profond Vorsorgeeinrichtung. During fi scal year , 
the collective foundation Profond has decided to decrease 
their conversion rates (pension received as a percentage of 
retirement savings) in fi ve years gradually from .% to .%, 
which will reduce the expected benefi ts at retirement for all 
employees. This event qualifi es as a plan amendment and the 
past service gain of EUR  million arising from this amendment 
was recognized immediately in the service cost of the year. 
The following table presents the defi ned benefi t obliga-
tions, the fair value of plan assets, the eff ects of the asset 
ceiling and the net defi ned benefi t balance at December , 
 for continuing operations and at December ,  for

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an 
assumption while holding all other assumptions constant and 
may not be representative of the actual impact of changes. 
If more than one assumption is changed simultaneously, the 
combined impact of changes would not necessarily be the 
same as the sum of the individual changes. If the assumptions 
change to a diff erent level compared to that presented above, 
the eff ect on the defi ned benefi t obligation may not be linear. 
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the 
sensitivity analyses are the same as in the previous period. 

When calculating the sensitivity of the defi ned benefi t obli-
gation to signifi cant actuarial assumptions, the same method 
has been applied as when calculating the post-employment 
benefi t obligation recognized in the consolidated statement of 
fi nancial position; specifi cally, the present value of the defi ned 
benefi t obligation is calculated with the projected unit credit 
method. Increases and decreases in the discount rate, rate 
of increase in future compensation levels, pension growth 
rate and infl ation, which are used in determining the defi ned 
benefi t obligation, do not have a symmetrical eff ect on the 
defi ned benefi t obligation primarily due to the compound in-
terest eff ect created when determining the net present value 
of the future benefi t. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Investment strategies 
The objective of investment activities is to maximize the ex-
cess of plan assets over the projected benefi t obligations and 
to achieve asset performance at least in line with the interest 
costs in order to minimize required future employer contribu-
tions. To achieve these goals, the Group uses an asset-liability 
matching framework, which forms the basis for its strategic 
asset allocation of the respective plans. The Group also takes 
into consideration other factors in addition to the discount 
rate, such as infl ation and longevity. The results of the asset-
liability matching framework are implemented on a plan level. 
The Group’s pension governance does not allow direct 
investments and requires all investments to be placed either 
in funds or by professional asset managers. Derivative instru-

ments are permitted and are used to change risk characteris-
tics as part of the German plan assets. The performance and 
risk profi le of investments is constantly monitored on a stand-
alone basis as well as in the broader portfolio context. One 
major risk is a decline in the plan`s funded status as a result of 
the adverse development of plan assets and/or defi ned ben-
efi t obligations. The application of the Asset-Liability-Model 
study focuses on minimizing such risks. 

There has been no change in the process used by the Group 

to manage its risk from prior periods.

All short term investments, equity and nearly all fi xed in-
come securities have quoted market prices in active markets. 
Equity securities represent investments in equity funds and 
direct investments, which have quoted market prices in an ac-
tive market. Debt securities represent investments in govern-
ment and corporate bonds, as well as investments in bond 
funds, which have quoted market prices in an active market. 
Debt securities may also comprise investments in funds and 
direct investments. Real estate investments are investments 
into real estate funds which invest in a diverse range of real 
estate properties. Insurance contracts are customary pen-
sion insurance contracts structured under domestic law in the 
respective countries. Short-term investments are liquid assets 
or cash which are being held for a short period of time, with 
the primary purpose of controlling the tactical asset alloca-
tion. The other category includes commodities as well as alter-
native investments, including derivative fi nancial instruments. 
The pension plan assets include a self investment through a 
loan provided to Nokia by the Group’s German pension fund of 
EUR  million (EUR  million in ). See Note .

Goodwill 
Goodwill is allocated to the Group’s cash-generating units 
(“CGUs”) or groups of cash-generating units for the purpose of 
impairment testing. The allocation is made to those CGUs that 
are expected to benefi t from the synergies of the business 
combination in which the goodwill arose. As a result of the Sale 
of the D&S business to Microsoft, as well as Nokia’s acquisition 
of the Siemens’ stake in NSN, the Group reviewed the structure 
of its CGUs. 

In consequence of the Purchase Agreement with Microsoft, 

the Smart Devices and Mobile Phones CGUs have been com-
bined to a single Devices & Services CGU and aligned with the 
scope of the business being sold. The goodwill previously allo-
cated to the two separate CGUs was allocated to the combined 
CGU for impairment testing purposes in . No goodwill was 
allocated to the new Advanced Technologies CGU. 

In previous years, the Group had defi ned the NSN operating 
segment as a single CGU. As a consequence of Nokia’s acquisi-
tion of the Siemens minority stake in NSN and the resulting 
change in reportable segments, the Group has identifi ed two 
NSN related groups of CGUs to which goodwill has been al-
located: Radio Access Networks within the Mobile Broadband 
operating segment and Global Services.

IAS  requires goodwill to be assessed annually for im-
pairment unless triggering events are identifi ed prior to the 
annual testing date that indicate a potential impairment, in 
which case an interim assessment is required. The annual im-
pairment testing for the Devices & Services and HERE CGUs is 
performed as of October . The annual impairment testing for 
the Nokia Solutions and Networks related groups of CGUs has 
been performed as of September . An additional impairment 
analysis specifi c to NSN CGUs was performed subsequently at 
November ,  to align the annual testing date with NSN’s 
annual fi nancial planning cycle. Management determined that 
the signing of the agreement with Microsoft for the Sale of the 
D&S business constituted a triggering event requiring an inter-
im impairment test for the Devices & Services and HERE CGUs. 
Accordingly, an interim review was performed in September 
. No impairment charges were recorded for any of the 
CGUs as a result of either the interim or annual tests. 

 The Group allocated goodwill to the CGUs at each of the 
respective years’ impairment testing date, as presented in the 
table below:

  Smart Devices and Mobile Phones CGUs have been combined to a single 

Devices & Services CGU in . 

  NSN has two groups of CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated in . 

The recoverable values of the Smart Devices and Mobile 
Phones CGUs, were previously valued on a value in use basis. 
Value in use was based on reasonable and supportable as-
sumptions that represented management’s best estimate of 
the economic circumstances that will prevail over the remain-
ing life of an asset (“steady state”). During , the Devices 
& Services CGU recoverable value was estimated based on the 
fair value less cost of disposal based on the agreed purchase 
price defi ned for the Sale of the D&S business, excluding any 
consideration attributable to patents or patent applications. 
The recoverable amounts for the HERE CGU, Radio Access 

Networks and Global Services group of CGUs are based on 

fair value less cost of disposal and were EUR   million, EUR 
  million and EUR   million, respectively, at the date 
of the  annual impairment testing. The valuation meth-
odologies have remained consistent from previous years. Fair 
value less cost of disposal was estimated using a discounted 
cash fl ow calculation. 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 CGUs, in an orderly transaction between market 
participants at the measurement date after deducting the 
estimated costs of disposal. The estimates of fair value less 
cost of disposal are categorized in the level  of the fair value 
hierarchy. 

Discounted cash fl ows for the NSN groups of CGUs and HERE 
CGU were modeled over ten annual periods. The growth rates 
used in transitioning to terminal year refl ect estimated long-
term stable growth which do not exceed long-term average 
growth rates for the industry and economies in which the CGUs 
operate. All cash fl ow projections are consistent with external 
sources of information, wherever possible. 

 The key assumptions applied in the  impairment test-

ing analysis for each CGU are presented in the table below. 
No information has been included for the Devices & Services 
CGU as the recoverable amount was not determined using a 
discounted cash fl ow analysis and the CGU is attributable to 
discontinued operations:

  NSN CGU is divided into two groups of CGUs in : Radio Access Net-

works group of CGUs within the Mobile Broadband operating segment and 
the Global Services group of CGUs. 

Fair value less cost of disposal for the HERE CGU and Radio 

Access Networks and Global Services group of CGUs are 
determined using post-tax valuation assumptions including 
projected cash fl ows and the discount rate. 

The discount rates applied in the impairment testing for the 

above noted CGUs or groups of CGUs refl ect current assess-
ments of the time value of money and relevant market risk 
premiums. Risk premiums included in the determination of 
the discount rate refl ect risks and uncertainties for which the 
future cash fl ow estimates have not been adjusted. 

In the fourth quarter of  the Group recorded an impair-
ment loss of EUR   million to reduce the carrying amount 
of the HERE CGU to its recoverable amount at that time. The 
impairment loss was allocated in its entirety to the carrying 
amount of goodwill. The Group’s goodwill impairment test-
ing did not result in impairment charges for the years ended 
December ,  or . 

The recoverable amount of the HERE CGU exceeds its carry-
ing amount by a small margin at the testing date. 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 HERE CGU. Management’s estimates of the overall 
automotive volumes and market share, customer adoption of 
the new location-based platform and related service off er-
ings, projected value of the services sold to Microsoft and 
assumptions regarding pricing as well as continued focus on 
cost effi  ciency are the main drivers for the HERE 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 custom-
ers demand complete, end-to-end location solutions and as 
cloud computing and cloud-based services garner greater 
market acceptance. 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 mate-
rial 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. 
Other than as disclosed for the HERE CGU above, manage-
ment believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the 
above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of any 
cash generating unit to exceed its recoverable amount. 

Other intangible assets 
There were no impairment charges recognized during . 
During , a charge of EUR  million was recorded on 
intangible assets attributable to the decision to transition 
certain operations into maintenance mode within NSN. These 
charges were recorded in other operating expenses. 

Property, plant and equipment 
During  Nokia Solutions and Networks recorded an impair-
ment charge of EUR  million (EUR  million in ) on prop-
erty, plant and equipment as a result of the remeasurement 
of the Optical Networks disposal group at fair value less cost 
of disposal. Furthermore, the Group recognized impairment 
losses of EUR  million related to certain properties attribut-
able to Corporate Common Functions. 

Investments in associated companies 
No material impairment charges were recognized during . 
After application of the equity method, including recogni-
tion 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 ) was necessary 
to adjust the Group’s investment in associated companies to 
its recoverable amount. The charges were recorded in other 
operating expense and are included in Corporate Common 
Functions. 

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 
income and expenses and other operating expenses in the 
consolidated income statement. See also Note . 

10.  ACQUISITIONS 

Acquisitions completed in 2013 

ACQUISITION OF SIEMENS’ NON-CONTROLLING 
INTEREST IN NSN 

On August ,  Nokia completed its acquisition of Siemens’ 
% interest in their joint venture, Nokia Siemens Networks 

(renamed Nokia Solutions and Networks) for a consideration 
of EUR   million. Cash of EUR   million was paid at the 
closing of the transaction. The remaining EUR  million was 
fi nanced through a secured loan from Siemens, which was 
repaid in September . Transaction related costs amounted 
to EUR  million. 

Upon closing, the parent entity of NSN business, Nokia 
Siemens Networks B.V., became wholly owned subsidiary of 
Nokia. Nokia continues to control and consolidate NSN’s results 
and fi nancial position and the acquisition of Siemens’ non-
controlling interest is accounted for as an equity transaction. 
The transaction reduced the Group’s equity by EUR  million, 
representing the diff erence between the carrying amount of 
Siemens’ non-controlling interest on the date of the acquisi-
tion of EUR  million and the total consideration paid of EUR 
  million. The impact to individual shareholder’s equity line 
items is presented in “Acquisition of non-controlling interest” 
line item in the consolidated statement of changes in share-
holder’s equity and in the accompanying notes. 

The transaction resulted in changes in the reporting struc-

ture of the NSN business, for further information refer to 
Note . 

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 , 
.

   This item primarily relates to NSN’s Finnish tax losses, unused tax credits 
and temporary differences for which no deferred tax was recognized. In 
 this item also relates to NSN’s German tax losses and temporary dif-
ferences for which no deferred tax was recognized. 

Current income tax liabilities at December ,  include 

EUR  million (EUR  million in ) related to uncertain 
tax positions. The timing of outfl ows related to these matters 
is inherently uncertain. 

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 provided 
for will arise as a result of the examinations, fi nal resolutions 
of open items may substantially diff er from the amounts 
initially recorded.

  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. Interest expense increased due to higher 
levels of borrowing as well as expenses related to funding the purchase of 
NSN non-controlling interest from Siemens. 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. 

  During  foreign exchange gains (or losses) were positively impacted 
by lower hedging costs than in  as well as lower volatility of certain 
emerging market currencies. During  foreign exchange gains (or 
losses) were negatively impacted by higher hedging costs than in  as 
well as significant weakening of certain emerging market currencies.

  Other financial income includes distributions of EUR  million in  

(EUR  million in  and EUR  million in ) from a private fund held 
as non-current available-for-sale investments. 

  Other financial expenses include an impairment loss of EUR  million 

in  (EUR  million in  and EUR  million in ) in the Group’s 
investment in the above mentioned private fund due to changes in esti-
mated future cash flows resulting from distributions received as well as 
other factors. The Group did not recognize any impairment losses related 
to Asset Backed Securities in  or  in other financial expenses, 
whereas impairments for these securities amounted to EUR  million in 
. Additional information can be found in Note  and Note .

  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 
investments carried at cost less impairment for which no reliable fair 
value has been possible to estimate as there is no active market for these 
investments in private funds. Impairment testing of these assets is based 
on a discounted cash flow analysis of expected cash distributions. 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 fair value of EUR Convertible Bonds (total of EUR   million matur-
ing -) is based on bonds being redeemed at par plus accrued 

interest at the close of Sale of the D&S business to Microsoft (level ). 
The fair values of other long-term interest bearing liabilities are based on 
discounted cash flow analysis (level ) or quoted prices (level ). 

At the end of each reporting period Nokia categorizes its fi nan-
cial assets and liabilities to the appropriate level of fair value 
hierarchy. The following table presents the valuation methods 
used to determine fair values of fi nancial instruments that are 
measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

   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 

Nokia Continuing operations’ over-the-counter derivatives 
and certain other instruments not traded in active markets fall 
within this category. 

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

Level  investments mainly include a large number of unlist-
ed equities and unlisted funds where fair value is determined 
based on relevant information such as operating performance, 
recent transactions and available market data on peer compa-
nies. No individual input has a signifi cant impact on the total

The gains and losses from fi nancial assets categorized in 
level  are included in other operating income and expenses as 
the investment and disposal objectives for these investments 
are business driven. A net loss of EUR  million (net loss of EUR 
 million in ) related to level  fi nancial instruments held 
at December , , was included in the profi t and loss dur-
ing . 

In the fourth quarter  management has concluded 
that certain real estate properties meet the criteria of assets 
held for sale. These long lived assets have been identifi ed for 
disposal as part of the on-going restructuring activities. Nokia 
expects to realize the sale of these properties within the fol-
lowing twelve months. At December ,  the fair value of 
these assets is EUR  million. The valuation of these assets is 
based on third-party evaluations by real estate brokers taking 
into account Nokia’s divestment strategy for these assets as 
well as relevant market dynamics. This evaluation includes 
non-market observable inputs and hence these assets are 
considered to be level  category assets that are measured at 
fair value on a non-recurring basis.

24.  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 Corpora-
tion was EUR   . and the total number of shares 
issued was    . 

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

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

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

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 Parent 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 authorization may be used to develop the Parent 
Company’s capital structure, diversify the shareholder base, 
fi nance or carry out acquisitions or other arrangements, settle 
the Parent Company’s equity-based incentive plans, or for 
other purposes resolved by the Board. This authorization 
would have been eff ective until June ,  as per the reso-
lution of the Annual General Meeting on May , , but it was

terminated by the resolution of the Annual General Meeting on 
May , . 

On October ,  Nokia issued a EUR  million convert-

ible bond on the basis of the authorization granted by the 
Annual General Meeting held on May , . The bonds have 
maturity of  years and a .% per annum coupon payable 
semi-annually with an initial conversion price of EUR .. 
The maximum number of shares which may be issued by Nokia 
upon conversion of all the bonds (based on the initial conver-
sion price) is approximately . million shares. The right to 
convert the bonds into shares commenced on December , 
, and ends on October , . On March ,  EUR . 
million of the bond was converted into shares resulting in issu-
ance of   shares.

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 Parent 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 authorization may be used to develop the Parent 
Company’s capital structure, diversify the shareholder base, 
fi nance or carry out acquisitions or other arrangements, settle 
the Parent Company’s equity-based incentive plans, or for 
other purposes resolved by the Board. The authorization is 
eff ective until June , . 

On September ,  Nokia issued three EUR  million 
tranches of convertible bonds on the basis of the authoriza-
tion granted by the Annual General Meeting held on May , 
. First EUR  million bonds had maturity of  years and a 
.% per annum coupon payable semi-annually with an initial 
conversion price of EUR .. The second EUR  million 
bonds had maturity of  years and a .% per annum coupon 
payable semi-annually with an initial conversion price of EUR 
.. The third EUR  million bonds had maturity of  years 
and a .% per annum coupon payable semi-annually with 
an initial conversion price of EUR .. 

 The maximum number of shares which might have been 
issued by Nokia upon conversion of all the bonds (based on 
the initial conversion price of each tranche) was approximately 
. million. [At the closing of the Sale of the D&S business, 
the bonds were redeemed and the principal amount and 
accrued interest netted against the Sale of the D&S business 
proceeds.] 

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

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

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 Parent Company. The shares 
may be repurchased under the buyback authorization in order 
to develop the capital structure of the Parent Company. In ad-
dition, shares may be repurchased in order to fi nance or carry 
out acquisitions or other arrangements, to settle the Parent 
Company’s equity-based incentive plans, to be transferred for 
other purposes, or to be cancelled. The authorization is eff ec-
tive until June , . 

AUTHORIZATIONS PROPOSED TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL 
MEETING 2014 

On April , , Nokia announced that the Board of Directors 
will propose that the Annual General Meeting convening on 
June ,  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 and are expected to be cancelled. 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, or to be transferred for other 
purposes. 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 December ,  and terminate the current authoriza-
tion for repurchasing of the Company’s shares resolved at the 
Annual General Meeting on May , .

 Nokia also announced on April ,  that the Board of 
Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting to be 
held on June ,  that the Annual General Meeting author-
ize the Board to resolve to issue a maximum of  million 
shares through issuance of shares or special rights entitling to 
shares 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 purpos-
es resolved by the Board. The proposed authorization includes 
the right for the Board to resolve on all the terms and condi-
tions of the issuance of shares and special rights entitling to 
shares, including issuance in deviation from the shareholders’ 
pre-emptive rights. The authorization would be eff ective until 
December ,  and terminate the current authorization 
granted by the Annual General Meeting on May , .

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 , . 

25.  SHARE-BASED PAYMENT 

The Group has several equity-based incentive programs for 
employees. The plans include performance share plans, stock 
option plans and restricted share plans. Both executives and 
employees participate in these programs. In years presented 
Nokia global equity-based incentive programs have been 
off ered to employees of Devices & Services business, HERE, 

60

N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 3

 
Advanced Technologies and Corporate Common Functions, 
but not to employees of NSN due to the previous ownership 
structure of NSN business. 

The equity-based incentive grants are generally conditional 

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

The share-based compensation expense for all equity-
based incentive awards for Nokia continuing operations 
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, including 
its terms and conditions, has been approved by the sharehold-
ers at 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. Shares subscribed under 
global stock option plans will be eligible for dividend for the fi -
nancial year in which the subscription takes place. Other share-
holder rights commence on the date on which the subscribed 
shares are entered in the Trade Register. The stock option 
grants are generally forfeited if the employment relationship 
terminates with Nokia. Unvested stock options for employ-

  Shares under Performance Share Plan  vested on December ,  

and are therefore not included in the outstanding numbers. Shares under 
Performance Share Plan  are outstanding, however there will be no 
settlement under the Performance Share Plan  as neither of the 
performance criteria of the plan was met. 

  Performance Share Plan  has a two-year performance period with an 

additional one-year restriction period. 

  Performance Share Plan  has a two-year performance period with an 

additional one-year restriction period. 

 

Includes also stock options granted under other than global equity plans, 
however excluding the NSN share-based incentive program. 

  Fair value of stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes model. 

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

The performance shares represent a commitment by Nokia 
Corporation to deliver Nokia shares to employees at a future 
point in time, subject to Nokia’s fulfi llment of pre-defi ned 
performance criteria. No performance shares will vest unless 
the Group’s performance reaches at least one of the threshold 
levels measured by two independent, pre-defi ned perfor-
mance criteria related to net sales and earnings per share 
(“EPS”). 

The  and  plans have a three-year performance 
period. The shares vest after the respective performance 
period. The  and  plans have a two-year performance 
period and a subsequent one-year restriction period, after 
which the shares vest. Until the Nokia shares are delivered, 
the participants will not have any shareholder rights, such as 
voting or dividend rights associated with the performance 
shares. The performance share grants are generally forfeited 
if the employment relationship terminates with Nokia prior 
to vesting. Unvested performance shares for employees who 
have transferred to Microsoft following the sale of Devices & 
Services business have been forfeited. 

The following table summarizes our global performance 

share plans.

there will be no settlement under the Performance Share Plan  as 
neither of the threshold performance criteria linked to EPS and Average

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

Restricted Shares are used on a selective basis to ensure re-
tention and recruitment of individuals with functional mastery 
and other employees deemed critical to Nokia’s future success. 
All of the Group’s restricted share plans have a restriction 
period of three years after grant. Until the Nokia shares are 
delivered, the participants will not have any shareholder rights, 
such as voting or dividend rights, associated with the restrict-
ed shares. The restricted share grants are generally forfeited 
if the employment relationship terminates with Nokia prior 
to vesting. Unvested restricted shares for employees who 
have transferred to Microsoft following the sale of Devices & 
Services business have been forfeited. 

 

Includes also restricted shares granted under other than global equity 
plans. 

  The fair value of restricted shares is estimated 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.

Other equity plans for employees 
During  – , Nokia had a one-time special CEO incen-
tive program designed to align Mr. Elop’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 op-
portunity to earn   –   Nokia shares at the end of 
 based on two independent criteria: Total Shareholder Re-
turn 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. 

NSN established a share-based incentive program in  

under which options for Nokia Solutions and Networks B.V. 
shares are granted to selected NSN’s senior management and 
key employees. The options generally become exercisable on 
the fourth anniversary of the grant date or, if earlier, on the 
occurrence of certain corporate transactions, such as an initial 
public off ering. 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 ex-
ercise unless an IPO has taken place, at which point they would 
be converted into equity-settled options. The options are 
accounted for as a cash-settled share-based payment liability 
based on the circumstances at December , . 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

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.

Purchase Plan, which was off ered in  to Nokia employees 
working for Devices & Services business, HERE, Advanced 
Technologies and Corporate Common Functions. Under the 
plan employees make monthly contributions from their sal-
ary to purchase Nokia shares on a monthly basis during a 
-month savings period. Nokia off ers one matching share 
for every two purchased shares the employee still holds 
after the last monthly purchase has been made in June . 
Employees who have transferred to Microsoft following the 
Sale of Devices & Services business will receive a cash settle-

The restructuring provision in  is mainly related to re-
structuring activities in NSN. In , the remaining balance of 
NSN’s restructuring provision is EUR  million (EUR  million 
in ). The majority of outfl ows related to the restructuring 
is expected to occur over the next two years. 

Restructuring and other associated expenses incurred in 
NSN in , including mainly personnel related expenses as 
well as expenses arising from the country and contract exits 
based on NSN’s strategy that focuses on key markets and 
product segments and costs incurred in connection with the 
divestments of businesses, totaled EUR  million (EUR   
million in ). 

In , the remaining balance of HERE’s restructuring provi-
sion is EUR  million. In addition to the plans announced in  
and , HERE announced during  further plans to reduce 
its workforce in the map data collection and processing areas 
of its business. 

Provisions for losses on projects in progress are related to 
NSN’s onerous contracts. Utilization of provisions for project 
losses is generally expected to occur in the next  months. 

Outfl ows for the warranty provision are generally expected 

to occur within the next  months. 

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

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. 

Other provisions include provisions for various contractual 

obligations and litigations. Outfl ows for other provisions

are generally expected to occur over the next two years. 
Provisions for project losses and other provisions include 
amounts recorded for claims and related to the exit from 
various customer contracts in line with the NSN’s strategic 
focus or due to challenging political or business environments. 
Such provisions are estimated based on the information cur-
rently available and are subject to change as negotiations with 
customers, trade sanctions environment, or other related 
circumstances evolve.

Uncertain income tax positions regarding current tax are 
included in Current income tax liabilities in the consolidated 
statement of fi nancial position in  and have also been 
reclassifi ed for comparability purposes in . 

Provisions included in Liabilities of disposal groups classifi ed 

as held for sale at December ,  were EUR   million. 

Legal Matters
A number of Nokia companies are, and will likely continue to 
be, subject to various legal proceedings and investigations 
that arise from time to time, including proceedings regarding 
intellectual property, product liability, sales and marketing 
practices, commercial disputes, employment, and wrongful 
discharge, antitrust, securities, health and safety, environ-
mental, tax, international trade and privacy matters. As a 
result, the Group may become subject to substantial liabilities 
that may not be covered by insurance and could aff ect our 
business and reputation. While Nokia does not believe that any 
of these legal proceedings will a have a material adverse eff ect 
on its fi nancial position, litigation is inherently unpredictable 
and large judgments sometimes occur. As a consequence, 
Nokia may in the future incur judgments or enter into settle-
ments of claims that could have a material adverse eff ect on its 
results of operations and cash fl ow.

Taxation Related Litigation and Proceedings

TAX PROCEEDINGS IN INDIA
During early  Nokia became subject to a tax investiga-
tion in India, focusing on Indian withholding tax consequences 
of payments made within Nokia for the supply of operating 
software from its parent company in Finland. Subsequently, 
Indian authorities have extended the investigation to other 
related tax consequences, such as allegations claiming that 
Nokia Corporation would have a permanent establishment 
in India for taxation purposes, transfer pricing aspects and 
potential non-deductibility of certain software payments for 
Indian corporate tax purposes. While raising these claims and 
arguing based on potential future claims against Nokia India 
Private Limited and the parent company Nokia Corporation, 
Indian authorities have also placed liens on Nokia India Private 
Limited’s and Nokia Corporation’s assets in India. These liens 
have prevented Nokia from transferring the Chennai factory 
and selected other Indian assets to Microsoft in connection 
with the closing of the Sale of the D&S Business. In addition, 
Indian authorities have ordered a special audit on Nokia India 
Private Limited, while seeking to fi nalize the ongoing tax 
investigations.

To date, Nokia has been served with fi nal assessment 

orders on the underlying withholding tax case in , and the 
company has appealed on this case to the Income Tax Tribunal 
in Delhi. Other related assessment proceeding mentioned 
above are pending. While taking necessary actions to defends 
its rights vigorously under Indian and International laws, Nokia 
is extending its full cooperation with the income tax authori-
ties and special auditors to fi nalize the pending assessment 
proceedings in due course.

Intellectual Property Rights Litigation

HTC
In , Nokia commenced patent infringement proceedings 
against HTC in relation to  non-essential patents in Germany 
in the District Courts of Mannheim, Munich and Düsseldorf, in 
relation to nine non-essential patents in the ITC in Washington 
DC, and  non-essential patents in the United States District 
Court for the District of Delaware. 

In response, HTC fi led nullity actions with the Federal Patent 

Court in Munich, commenced revocation proceedings against 
 of Nokia’s non-essential patents in the UK High Court, 
and fi led an action for patent infringement in respect of one 
non-essential patent against Nokia GmbH in the District Court 
of Mannheim and against Nokia Oyj in the District Court of 
Munich in . S Graphics Co. Ltd, a subsidiary of HTC, also 
fi led actions for patent infringement in respect of one non-
essential patent against Nokia GmbH in the District Court of 
Mannheim and Nokia Oyj in the District Court of Dusseldorf. 
HTC commenced, then later withdrew, an arbitration in the UK 
claiming that some of the patents asserted by Nokia against 
HTC were licensed under an essential patent licence.

Subsequently, Nokia fi led further infringement actions 
in respect of HTC’s UK revocation actions, brought further 
infringement proceedings against HTC in relation to nine non-
essential patents in the District Courts of Mannheim, Munich 

and Dusseldorf, three non-essential patents in the Court of 
Paris, France, two non-essential patents in the Regional Court 
of the Hague, the Netherlands, two non-essential patents in 
the Court of Rome, Italy and four non-essential patents in the 
Tokyo District Court, Japan. Nokia also commenced patent 
infringement proceedings against HTC in respect of seven 
non-essential patents in the ITC in Washington DC, and ten 
non-essential patents in the United States District Court for 
the Southern District of California. 

Nokia was awarded injunctions against HTC in respect of 
a power control patent and patent enabling modern mobile 
devices to work in older networks by the District Court of 
Mannheim, a USB functionality patent and a patent enabling 
the transfer of network resource information between mobile 
devices by the District Court of Munich. The UK High Court 
found that Nokia’s patent relating to a modulator structure 
was valid and infringed by HTC in October . In its initial 
determination in September , the ITC found that HTC had 
violated two patents which cover improvements to radio re-
ceivers and transmitters. The Tokyo District Court gave a judg-
ment in default against HTC in respect of a calendar display 
patent. The fi rst two of S and HTC’s actions were dismissed by 
the District Court of Mannheim.

On February , , the parties settled all pending pat-
ent litigation between them, and entered into a patent and 
technology collaboration agreement. HTC will make payments 
to Nokia and the collaboration will involve HTC’s LTE patent 
portfolio. The full terms of the agreement are confi dential.

SAMSUNG
During August and September , Nokia and Samsung 
agreed to extend their existing patent license agreement for 
fi ve years from December , . According to the agree-
ment, Samsung will pay additional compensation to Nokia for 
the period commencing from January ,  onwards, and the 
amount of this compensation will be fi nally settled in a bind-
ing arbitration. The parties have commenced arbitration and 
expect to have a fi nal resolution in . 

ERISA & SECURITIES LITIGATION 
On April ,  and April , , two individuals fi led sepa-
rate putative class action lawsuits against Nokia Inc. and the 
directors and offi  cers of Nokia Inc., and certain other employ-
ees and representatives of the company, claiming to represent 
all persons who were participants in or benefi ciaries of the 
Nokia Retirement Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”) who 
participated in the Plan between January ,  and the pre-
sent and whose accounts included investments in Nokia stock. 
The plaintiff  s allege that the defendants failed to comply with 
their statutory and fi duciary duties when they failed to remove 
Nokia stock as a plan investment option. The cases were 
consolidated into Majad v. Nokia and an amended consolidated 
complaint was fi led on September , . The amended 
complaint alleges that the named individuals knew of the mat-
ters alleged in the securities case referenced above, that the 
matters signifi cantly increased the risk of Nokia stock owner-
ship, and as a result of that knowledge, the named defendants 
should have removed Nokia stock as a Plan investment option. 
The plaintiff  ’s claims were dismissed in their entirety on Sep-
tember , . On September ,  the Court denied Plain-

all claims with prejudice. Plaintiff  did not appeal and this mat-
ter is closed.

Antitrust Litigation

LCD AND CRT CARTEL CLAIMS
In November , Nokia Corporation fi led two lawsuits, one 
in the United Kingdom’s High Court of Justice and the other in 
the United States District Court for the Northern District of 
California, joined by Nokia Inc., against certain manufactur-
ers of liquid crystal displays (“LCDs”). Both suits concerned 
the same underlying allegations: namely, that the defendants 
violated the relevant antitrust or competition laws by entering 
into a worldwide conspiracy to raise and/or stabilize the prices 
of LCDs, among other anticompetitive conduct, from approxi-
mately January  to December  (the “Cartel Period”). 
Defendants Sharp Corporation, LG Display Co. Ltd., Chunghwa 
Picture Tubes, Ltd., Hitachi Displays Ltd. and Epson Imaging 
Devices Corporation, as well as non-defendant Chi Mei Opto-
electronics, and Hannstar Display Corporation, have pleaded 
guilty in the United States to participating in a conspiracy to 
fi x certain LCD prices and have agreed to pay fi nes totaling 
approximately USD  million. Further, the United States De-
partment of Justice has indicted AU Optronics Corporation and 
its American subsidiary, AU Optronics Corporation America, 
for participation in the conspiracy to fi x the prices of TFT-LCD 
panels sold worldwide from September ,  to December 
, . 

Also in November , Nokia Corporation fi led a lawsuit 
in the United Kingdom’s High Court of Justice against certain 
manufacturers of cathode rays tubes (“CRTs”). In this law-
suit, Nokia alleges that the defendants violated the relevant 
antitrust or competition laws by entering into a worldwide 
conspiracy to raise and/or stabilize the prices of CRTs, among 
other anticompetitive conduct, from no later than March  
to around November . 

All of the defendants have now settled Nokia’s claims 

against them on confi dential terms.

We are also party to other routine litigation, as well as 
indemnity claims involving customers or suppliers, which are 
incidental to the normal conduct of our business. Based upon 
the information currently available, our management does not 
believe that liabilities related to those proceedings are likely to 
be material to our fi nancial condition or results of operations.

tiff  s’ motion for leave to amend their complaint a second time 
and entered judgment in favor of Nokia. On October , , 
the plaintiff  s fi led an appeal of the District Court’s order grant-
ing judgment in favor of Nokia. On June , , the Second 
Circuit upheld the earlier decision of the US District Court for 
the Southern District of New York from September ,  to 
dismiss all claims made in the ERISA claim fi led against defend-
ants including Nokia Inc. and the Nokia Inc. Retirement Plan by 
Javad Majad and Ryan Sharif. The Plaintiff  had until September 
,  to appeal the Second Circuit decision by fi ling a cert 
petition to the US Supreme Court. The Plaintiff  did not appeal 
and the case is closed. 

On September , , a class action based on the US 
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) entitled 
Romero v. Nokia was fi led in the United States District Court 
for the Southern District of New York. The complaint named 
Nokia Corporation, certain Nokia Corporation Board members, 
Fidelity Management Trust Co., The Nokia Retirement Savings 
& Investment Plan Committee and Linda Fonteneaux as well 
as certain individuals from the Nokia Retirement Savings & 
Investment Plan Committee whose identity is not known to the 
plaintiff  s as defendants. The complaint claimed to represent 
all persons who were participants in or benefi ciaries of the 
Nokia Retirement Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”) 
who participated in the Plan between January ,  and the 
present and whose accounts invested in the Nokia Stock Fund 
(“the Fund”). The complaint alleged that the named individu-
als breached their fi duciary duties by, among other things, 
permitting the plan to off er the Fund as an investment option, 
permitting the plan to invest in the Fund and permitting the 
Fund to invest in and remain invested in American Depository 
Receipts of Nokia Corporation when the defendants allegedly 
knew the Fund and Nokia’s shares were extremely risky invest-
ments. Plaintiff  was provided plan documents and informed 
that it had incorrectly identifi ed the proper defendants in its 
complaint. On December ,  Plaintiff  fi led a motion to 
dismiss the complaint against all defendants, without preju-
dice and indicated it would refi le in California where the Nokia 
Retirement Savings and Investment Plan is currently adminis-
tered. 

Romero fi led a new complaint on December ,  in 
the United States District Court for the Northern District 
of California, naming as defendants Nokia Inc., the Nokia 
Retirement Savings and Investment Plan Committee, and sev-
eral individuals alleged to be plan fi duciaries, claiming to rep-
resent all persons who were participants in or benefi ciaries of 
the Nokia Retirement Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”) 
who participated in the Plan between January ,  and 
the present and whose accounts invested in the Nokia Stock 
Fund (“the Fund”). The complaint alleges that named individu-
als breached their fi duciary duties by, among other things, 
permitting the plan to off er the Fund as an investment option, 
permitting the plan to invest in the Fund and permitting the 
Fund to invest in and remain invested in American Depository 
Receipts of Nokia Corporation when the defendants allegedly 
knew the Fund and Nokia’s shares were extremely risky invest-
ments. On May , , Nokia and the Named Defendants fi led 
a motion to dismiss all claims against the defendants and are 
awaiting the Court’s decision. On October ,  the court 
granted Nokia and the Named Defendants motion to dismiss

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profi t

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the profi t 
attributable to equity holders of the parent to eliminate

mance. Volume of other guarantees has decreased mainly due 
to expired guarantees. 

Contingent liabilities on behalf of other companies were EUR 

 million in  (EUR  million in ). The increase in vol-
ume is mainly due to the transfer of guarantees in connection 
with the disposal of certain businesses where contractual risks 
and revenues have been transferred, but some of the com-
mercial guarantees have not yet been re-assigned legally. 
Financing commitments of EUR  million in  (EUR  
million in ) are available under loan facilities negotiated 
mainly with NSN’s 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 facility. 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 contributions and also entitled to cash distributions ac-
cording to respective partnership agreements and underlying 
fund activities. 

As of December , , Nokia continuing operations had 
purchase commitments of EUR  million (Nokia Group EUR 
  million in ) relating to inventory purchase obliga-
tions, service agreements and outsourcing arrangements, 
primarily for purchases in . 

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 management the 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.

32.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 

At December , , the Group had borrowings amounting 
to EUR  million (EUR  million in ) from Nokia Unterstüt-

which is a separate legal entity. The loan bears interest at % 
annum and its duration is pending until further notice by the 
loan counterparties who have the right to terminate the loan 
with a  day notice. The loan is included in long-term interest-
bearing liabilities in the consolidated statement of fi nancial 
position. 

There were no loans granted to the members of the Nokia

At December , , the Group has guaranteed a loan of 
EUR  million (EUR  million in ) for an associated com-
pany of the Group. 

Management compensation 
Nokia announced on September ,  that it had entered 
into a transaction agreement whereby Nokia will sell substan-
tially all of its Devices & Services business to Microsoft. As a 
result of the proposed transaction, Nokia announced changes 
to its leadership. These changes were designed to provide 
an appropriate corporate governance structure during the 
interim period following the announcement of this transaction. 
Stephen Elop stepped down from his positions as President 
and CEO and Nokia’s Chairman of the Board Risto Siilasmaa and 
Chief Financial Offi  cer of Nokia Timo Ihamuotila assumed ad-
ditional responsibilities as Interim CEO and Interim President, 
respectively, from September , . 

The following table sets forth the salary and cash incentive 
information awarded and paid or payable by the Group to the 
Chief Executive Offi  cer and President of Nokia Corporation for 
fi scal years  – , share-based compensation expense 
relating to equity-based awards, expensed by the Group as 
well as the pension expenses, expensed by the Group. The ta-
ble includes compensation for the time in-role or the compen-
sation for the role related responsibilities, only.

35.  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. 

derivative instruments into account. The variance-covariance 
methodology is used to assess and measure the interest rate 
risk and equity price risk. 

The principles documented in the Nokia Risk Policy and 
approved 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 or function head is also the risk owner, but it is eve-
ryone’s responsibility in Nokia to identify risks, which prevent 
Nokia from reaching its objectives. Risk management covers 
strategic, operational, fi nancial and hazard risks. 

Key risks and opportunities are reviewed by the Nokia 

Leadership team and the Board of Directors in order to create 
visibility on business risks as well as to enable prioritization 
of risk management activities at Nokia. In addition to the 
general principles defi ned in the Nokia Risk Policy, specifi c risk 
management implementation is refl ected in other key Nokia 
policies. 

The following information for  has been presented 
for Nokia continuing operations only. The comparative year 
includes the Nokia Group total. 

Financial risks 
The objective for Treasury activities in Nokia is to guarantee 
suffi  cient funding for the Group at all times, and to iden-
tify, evaluate and manage fi nancial risks. Treasury activities 
support 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 ap-
proved by the CEO, that provides principles for overall fi nancial 
risk management and determines the allocation of responsi-
bilities for fi nancial risk management in Nokia. Other related 
policies and procedures in Nokia and NSN, approved by respec-
tive CFO’s or relevant fi nance executives, 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, 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 foreign exchange 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 foreign exchange 

The VaR is determined by using volatilities and correlations 

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 conditions, 
assuming that market risk factors follow normal distributions; 
b) future movements in market risk factors follow estimated 
historical movements; and 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 a 
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-
cies represent a signifi cant portion of the currency mix in the 
outstanding fi nancial instruments:

  The FX derivatives are used to hedge the foreign exchange risk from fore-
cast highly probable cashflows related to sales, purchases and business 
acquisition activities. In some of the currencies, especially in US dollar, 
Nokia has substantial foreign exchange risks in both estimated cash 
inflows and outflows, which have been netted in the table. 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 receiv-

able, 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 foreign exchange 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. 

The objective of interest rate risk management is to balance 

uncertainty caused by fl uctuations in interest rates and net 
long-term funding costs. 

 At the reporting date, the interest rate profi le of the 

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

The interest rate exposure of the Group is monitored and 

managed centrally. Nokia uses the VaR methodology com-
plemented 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 insig-
nifi cant. The private funds where the Group has investments

may, from time to time, have investments in public equity. 
Such investments have not been included in the aforemen-
tioned number.

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 custom-
ers, including outstanding receivables, fi nancial guarantees 
and committed transactions as well as fi nancial institutions, 
including 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 
exposure to credit risk is limited to the book value of the 
fi nancial assets as included in the consolidated statement of 
fi nancial positions:

EURm 

Financial guarantees given on behalf of 
customers and other third parties  

Loan commitments given but not used  

All receivables and loans due from customers are considered 
on an individual basis in establishing the allowances for doubt-
ful 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 allow-
ance recognized 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 sums are relative to total net accounts 
receivable and loans due from customers of EUR   in  
(EUR   million in ). 

An amount of EUR  million (EUR  million in ) 
relates to past due receivables from customers for which no 
allowances for doubtful accounts were recognized. The aging

Business related credit risk 
The Company aims to ensure the highest possible quality in 
accounts receivable and loans due from customers and other 
third parties. Nokia and NSN 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 NSN. 

Nokia and NSN Credit Policies provide that credit decisions 
are based on credit evaluation including credit rating for larger 
exposures. Nokia and NSN Rating Policy defi nes the rating prin-
ciples. Ratings of material exposures are approved by Nokia’s 
Rating Committee and NSN’s Rating Committee. Credit risks 
are approved and monitored according to the credit policy of 
each business entity. When appropriate, credit risks are miti-
gated 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-

able and loans outstanding due from customers and commit-
ted credits. 

The accounts receivable do not include any major concen-
trations of credit risk by customer. The 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 amount-
ed to .%, .% and .% (.%, .% and .% in ), 
respectively with China being the biggest exposure. 

The Group has provided allowances for doubtful accounts as 
needed on accounts receivable and loans due from customers 
and other third parties not past due, based on the analysis of 
debtors’ credit quality and credit history. The Group estab-
lishes allowances for doubtful accounts that represent an 
estimate of incurred losses as of the end of reporting period. 

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 credit worthy or risk of loss due to coun-
terparties being unable to meet their obligations. This risk is 
measured and monitored centrally by Treasury departments in 
Nokia and NSN. Financial credit risk is managed actively by lim-
iting counterparties to a suffi  cient number of major banks and 
fi nancial institutions and monitoring the credit worthiness and 
exposure sizes continuously as well as through entering into 
netting arrangements (which gives Nokia the right to off  set in 
the event that the counterparty would not be able to fulfi ll the 
obligations) with all major counterparties and collateral agree-
ments (which require counterparties to post collateral against 
derivative receivables) with certain counterparties. 

Nokia’s investment decisions are based on strict creditwor-

thiness and maturity criteria as defi ned in Treasury related 
policies and procedures. 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. 

The table below presents the breakdown of the outstanding 

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

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 

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. 

Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying business, Nokia 

and NSN aim at maintaining fl exibility in funding by keeping 
committed and uncommitted credit lines available. Nokia and 
NSN manage their respective credit facilities independently 
and facilities do not include cross-default clauses between 
Nokia and NSN or any forms of guarantees from either party. 
As of December , , the Group’s committed revolving 
credit facilities totaled EUR   million (EUR   million in

   This line includes also EUR  million (EUR  million, in ) non-interest 
bearing payables relating to cash held temporarily due to the divested 
businesses where NSN continues to perform services within a contractu-
ally defined scope for a specified timeframe. 

All Nokia borrowings specifi ed above are senior unsecured 

and have no fi nancial covenants. All borrowings, apart from 
the EIB R&D loan, are used for general corporate purposes. 
All NSN borrowings specifi ed above are senior unsecured 
and include fi nancial covenants relating to fi nancial leverage 
and interest coverage of the NSN. As of December  all 
fi nancial covenants were satisfi ed. All borrowings, apart from 
the EIB and Nordic Investment bank R&D loans, are used for 
general corporate purposes. 

Nokia has not guaranteed any of the NSN borrowings and 
thus these are non-recourse to Nokia. All Nokia Solutions and 

Networks Finance B.V. borrowings above are guaranteed by 
Nokia Solutions and Networks Oy and/or Nokia Solutions and 
Networks B.V. 

In October , Nokia issued a EUR  million convertible 

bond that matures in October . The bond includes a vol-
untary conversion option starting from December  until 
maturity. Based on initial conversion price, voluntary conver-
sion of the entire bond would result in the issue of  million 
shares. In July  Nokia obtained committed bank fi nancing 
for the EUR . billion cash portion of the acquisition of NSN 
that was completed in August . The balance of EUR .

billion was agreed to be paid in the form of a secured loan from 
Siemens due one year from closing. In September , Nokia 
issued EUR . billion of fi nancing in the form of three EUR 
 million tranches of convertible bonds issued to Microsoft 
maturing in ,  and  years, respectively. On September , 
, Nokia announced that it had decided to draw down all of 
this fi nancing to prepay aforementioned fi nancing raised for 
the acquisition of the shares in NSN and for general corporate 
purposes. Microsoft has agreed not to sell any of the bonds or 
convert any of the bonds to Nokia shares prior to the closing 
of the Sale of the Devices & Services business. When the Sale 
of the Devices & Services business was completed, the bonds 
were redeemed and the principal amount and accrued interest 
were netted against the proceeds from the transaction. 

In December , NSN signed a forward starting term loan 
and revolving credit facilities agreement to replace its revolv-
ing credit facility that matured in June . In December , 
the maturity date of the term loan agreement was extended 
from June  to March  and the size was reduced from 

EUR  million to EUR  million. In March  NSN issued 
EUR  million of .% Senior Notes due April  and EUR 
 million of .% Senior Notes due April . The net 
proceeds, EUR  million, from the bond issuance were used 
to prepay EUR  million Bank term loan and EUR  million of 
the EUR EIB R&D loan in March , and the remaining pro-
ceeds are to be used for general corporate purposes. 

Of the NSN’s EUR Finnish Pension Loan, EUR EIB R&D Loan 
and EUR Nordic Investment Bank Loan, EUR  million, EUR  
million and EUR  million, respectively, are included in current 
maturities as of December , . 

 The following table below is an undiscounted cash fl ow 
analysis for both fi nancial liabilities and fi nancial assets that 
are presented on the consolidated statement of fi nancial 
position, and off -balance sheet instruments such as loan com-
mitments according to their remaining contractual maturity. 
The line-by-line analysis does not directly reconcile with the

   Accounts receivable maturity analysis does not include receivables ac-

counted for based on the percentage of completion method of EUR  
million (EUR  million in ). 

   The maturity bucket presented for EUR Convertible Bonds (total of EUR 

  million maturing  – ) is based on the bonds being redeemed 
at par plus accrued interest at the close of Sale of the D&S business. 

   Loan commitments given undrawn have been included in the earliest 

period in which they could be drawn or called. 

   Loan commitments obtained undrawn have been included based on the 
period in which they expire. These amounts include related commitment 
fees. 

Hazard risk 
Nokia strives to ensure that all fi nancial, reputation and other 
losses to the Group and our customers are managed 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), 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. 

36.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April ,  Nokia completed the sale of substantially all 
of its Devices & Services business to Microsoft. The transac-
tion was subject to potential purchase price adjustments. At

closing, the agreed transaction price of EUR . billion was 
increased by approximately EUR  million as a result of the 
estimated adjustments made for net working capital and cash 
earnings. However this adjustment is based on an estimate 
which will be fi nalized when the fi nal cash earnings and net 
working capital numbers are expected to be available during 
the second quarter . 

 Nokia expects to book a gain on sale of approximately EUR 
. billion from the transaction. As a result of the gain, Nokia 
expects to record tax expenses of approximately EUR  
million. 

 Additionally, as is customary for transactions of this size, 

scale and complexity, Nokia and Microsoft made certain 
adjustments to the scope of the assets originally planned to 
transfer. These adjustments have no impact on the mate-
rial deal terms of the transaction and Nokia will be materially 
compensated for any retained liabilities. 

 In India, our manufacturing facility remains part of Nokia 
following the closing of the transaction. Nokia and Microsoft 
have entered into a service agreement whereby Nokia would 
produce mobile devices for Microsoft for a limited time. In 
Korea, Nokia and Microsoft agreed to exclude the Masan 
facility from the scope of the transaction and Nokia is taking 
steps to close the facility, which employs approximately  
people. Altogether, and accounting for these adjustments, 
approximately   employees transferred to Microsoft at 
the closing. 

The EUR . billion convertible bonds issued by Nokia to 

Microsoft following the announcement of the transaction have 
been redeemed and netted against the deal proceeds by the 
amount of principal and accrued interest.

AUTHORIZATIONS

Authorization to increase the share capital 
At the Annual General Meeting held on May , , Nokia share-
holders authorized the Board of Directors to issue a maximum 
of  million shares through one or more issues of shares 
or special rights entitling to shares, including stock options. 
The Board of Directors may issue either new shares or shares 
held by the Company. The authorization includes the right for 
the Board to resolve on all the terms and conditions of such 
issuances of shares and special rights, including to whom the 
shares and the special rights may be issued. The authorization 
may be used to develop the Company’s capital structure, di-
versify 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 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 

90

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 2014 
On April , , Nokia announced that the Board of Directors 
will propose that the Annual General Meeting convening on 
June ,  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 and are expected to be cancelled. 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, or to be transferred for other 
purposes. 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 December ,  and terminate the current authoriza-
tion for repurchasing of the Company’s shares resolved at the 
Annual General Meeting on May , .

Nokia also announced on April ,  that the Board of 
Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting to be held 
on June ,  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 
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, includ-
ing issuance in deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive 
rights. The authorization would be eff ective until December , 
 and terminate the current authorization granted by the 
Annual General Meeting on May , .

SIGNING OF THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS 2013 
AND PROPOSAL BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 
FOR DISTRIBUTION OF PROFIT

The distributable funds in the balance sheet of the Company 
at December ,  amounted to EUR   million.

The Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that from 
the retained earnings an ordinary dividend of EUR , per 
share be paid out on the shares of the Company. The proposed 
dividend is in line with the Company’s distribution policy.

The Board further proposes to the Annual General Meeting 
that from the retained earnings a special dividend of EUR , 
per share be paid out on the shares of the Company.

At December , , the number of shares of the Company 
was    , based on which the maximum aggregate 
amount to be distributed as ordinary and special dividend is 
EUR   million.

AUDITOR’S REPORT (TRANSLATION) 

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 
misstatement, and whether the members of the Board of 
Directors of the parent company and the Managing Director 
are guilty of an act or negligence which may result in liability 
in damages towards the company or have violated the Limited 
Liability Companies Act or the articles of association of the 
company.

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

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

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

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial 
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 Financial 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

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 included in Item  of this 
annual report. Some of our accounting policies require the 
application of judgment by management in selecting appropri-
ate assumptions for calculating fi nancial estimates, 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 assets and li-
abilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses that 
may not be readily apparent from other sources. The Group 
will revise material estimates if changes occur in the circum-
stances 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 other-
wise 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 
Revenues within the Group are generally recognized when the 
signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to 
the buyer, continuing managerial involvement usually associ-
ated with ownership and eff ective control have ceased, the 
amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that 
economic benefi ts associated with the transaction will fl ow to 
the Group and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect 
of the transaction can be measured reliably. When manage-
ment determines that such criteria have been met, revenue is 
recognized. 

At NSN, transactions are also entered into involving multi-
ple components consisting of any combination of hardware, 
services and software. Within these arrangements, separate 
components are identifi ed and accounted for based on the 
nature and fair value of those components and considering 
the economic substance of the entire arrangement. Revenue 
is allocated to each separately identifi able component based 
on the relative fair value of each component. The fair value of 
each component is determined by taking into consideration 
factors such as the price of the component when sold sepa-
rately and the component cost plus a reasonable margin when 
price references are not available. This determination of the 
fair value and allocation thereof to each separately identifi able 
component of a transaction requires the use of estimates and 
judgment which may have a signifi cant impact on the timing 
and amount of revenue recognized for the period. Service rev-
enue, which typically includes managed services and mainte-
nance services, is generally recognized on a straight-line basis 
over the specifi ed period unless there is evidence that some 
other method better represents the rendering of services.

Also at NSN, certain revenue is recognized from contracts 

involving solutions achieved through the modifi cation of 
complex telecommunications equipment on the percentage 
of completion basis when the outcome of the contract can be 

estimated reliably. Recognized revenues and profi t estimates 
are subject to revisions during the project in the event that 
the assumptions regarding 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 pro-
ject, new technology, changes in the project scope, changes in 
costs, changes in timing, changes in customers’ plans, realiza-
tion of penalties, and other corresponding factors.

Within the HERE business, a substantial majority of revenue 

is derived from the licensing of the HERE database. Revenue 
which consists of license fees from usage (including license 
fees in excess of the nonrefundable minimum fees), are rec-
ognized in the period in which the license fees are estimable. 
Nonrefundable minimum annual licensing fees are generally 
received upfront and represent a minimum guarantee of fees 
to be received from the licensee during the period of the 
arrangement. The total up-front fee paid by the customer 
is generally amortized ratably over the term of the arrange-
ment. When it is determined that the actual amount of licens-
ing fees earned exceeds the cumulative revenue recognized 
under the amortization method, we recognize the additional 
licensing revenue. Furthermore, within the HERE business, 
some licensing arrangements contain multiple elements, that 
could include data, software, services and updates. Revenue is 
allocated to each element based on its relative fair value and 
is recognized as the element is delivered and the obligation is 
fulfi lled.

Advance Technologies’ patent license agreements are multi-

year arrangements usually covering both a licensee’s past 
and future sales until a certain agreed date, when the license 
expires. 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 
recognized immediately. The license payments relating to the 
future royalties are recognized over the remaining contract 
period, typically  to  years. Licensees often pay a fi xed 
license fee in one or more installments and running royalties 
based on their sales of licensed products. Licensees gener-
ally report and pay their running royalties on a quarterly basis 
after the end of each quarter and Nokia revenue recognition 
takes place accordingly at the time the royalty reports are 
received. 

Within Devices & Services, the sale of devices can include 
multiple components consisting of a combination of hardware, 
services and software. The commercial eff ect of each sepa-
rately identifi able element of the transaction is evaluated in 
order to determine the appropriate accounting treatment for 
each component of the transaction. The total amount re-
ceived is allocated to individual components based on their es-
timated fair value. Fair value of each component is determined 
by taking into consideration factors such as the price when the 
component is sold separately, the price when a similar compo-
nent is sold separately by a third party and cost plus a reason-
able margin when pricing references are not available. The es-
timated fair values are allocated fi rst to software and services, 
with the residual amount allocated to hardware. Application 
of the recognition criteria described above generally results in 
recognition of hardware related revenue at the time of deliv-
ery with software and services related revenue recognized on 
a straight-line basis over their respective terms. 

102

Also within the Devices & Services business, we record 
estimated reductions to revenue for special pricing agree-
ments, price protection and other volume based discounts at 
the time of sale. Sales adjustments for volume based discount 
programs are estimated largely based on historical activity un-
der similar programs. Price protection adjustments are based 
on estimates of future price reductions and certain agreed 
customer inventories at the date of the price adjustment. 

CUSTOMER FINANCING 
We have provided certain customer fi nancing arrangements, 
predominantly within Nokia Solutions and Networks, and 
agreed extended payment terms with selected customers. In 
establishing credit arrangements, management must assess 
the creditworthiness of the customer and the timing of cash 
fl ows expected to be received under the arrangement. How-
ever, 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 assessment of the net re-
coverable value considers the collateral and security arrange-
ments 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 transfer of its rights to the cash 
collected from these arrangements to third-party fi nancial in-
stitutions 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 Solutions and 
Networks business.

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 Nokia 
continuing operations’ allowance for doubtful accounts was 
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 declines. 
These reviews require management to estimate future de-
mand 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 Nokia 
continuing operations’ allowance for excess and obsolete 
inventory was 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 Nokia Solutions and Networks 

business and the results from discontinued operations 
through the Devices & Services business. 

WARRANTY PROVISIONS 
We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at 
the time revenue is recognized. Our products are covered 
by product warranty plans of varying periods, depending on 
local practices and regulations. While we engage in extensive 
product quality programs and processes, including actively 
monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component sup-
pliers, our warranty obligations are aff ected by actual product 
failure rates and by material usage and service delivery costs 
incurred in correcting a product failure. Our warranty provision 
is established based upon our best estimates of the amounts 
necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold 
as of the balance sheet date. As we continuously introduce 
new products which incorporate complex technology, and 
as local laws, regulations and practices may change, it will be 
increasingly diffi  cult to anticipate our failure rates, the length 
of warranty periods and repair costs. While we believe that 
our warranty provisions are adequate and that the judgments 
applied are appropriate, the ultimate cost of product warranty 
could diff er materially from our estimates. When the actual 
cost of quality of our products is lower than we originally 
anticipated, we release an appropriate proportion of the provi-
sion, and if the cost of quality is higher than anticipated, we 
increase the provision. Based on these estimates and assump-
tions the Nokia continuing operations warranty provision was 
EUR  million at the end of . The fi nancial impact of the 
assumptions regarding this provision mainly aff ects the cost 
of sales of the Nokia Solutions and Networks business and the 
results from discontinued operations through the 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  in Nokia continuing operations. 

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

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 Item A. “Litigation” and in Note  and  to 
the consolidated fi nancial statements included in Item  of 
this annual report, 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 inherent 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 circum-
stances indicate that such carrying amount may not be recov-
erable. We assess the carrying amount of our goodwill at least 
annually, or more frequently based on these same indicators. 
Factors that we consider important, and which could trigger an 
impairment review, include the following: 

■  signifi cant underperformance relative to historical or pro-

jected 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 recoverable value based on 
discounted projected cash fl ows. 

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

Goodwill is allocated to the Group’s cash-generating units 

(“CGUs”) or groups of cash-generating units (CGUs) and re-
coverable value are prepared at the 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 are expected to benefi t 
from the synergies arising from each of our acquisitions. As a 
result of the sale of the D&S business, we have combined the 
Smart Devices and Mobile Phones CGUs into a single Devices & 
Services CGU and aligned with the scope of the business being 
sold. The goodwill previously allocated to the two separate 
CGUs has been allocated to the combined CGU for impair-
ment testing purposes. No goodwill was allocated to the new 
Advanced Technology CGU. 

In previous years we have defi ned the NSN’s operating seg-
ment as a single CGU. As a consequence of the acquisition of 
the Siemens’ minority stake in NSN and the resulting change 
in reportable segments, the Group has identifi ed two NSN 
related groups of CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated: 
Radio Access Networks within the Mobile Broadband operating 
segment and Global Services. 

Goodwill amounting to EUR   million has been allocated 

as follows: Devices & Services CGU (EUR   million), HERE 

104

N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 3

CGU (EUR   million), NSN Mobile Broadband group of CGUs 
(EUR  million) and NSN Global Services group of CGUs (EUR  
million). 

IAS  requires goodwill to be assessed annually for im-
pairment unless triggering events are identifi ed prior to the 
annual testing date that indicate a potential impairment in 
which case an interim assessment is required. The annual 
impairment testing for the Devices & Services and HERE CGUs 
is performed as of October . The annual impairment testing 
for the Nokia Solutions and Networks related groups of CGUs 
has been performed as of September . An additional impair-
ment analysis specifi c to NSN CGUs was performed subse-
quently at November ,  to align the annual testing date 
with the NSN’s annual fi nancial planning cycle. Management 
determined that the signing of the agreement with Microsoft 
for the Sale of D&S Business constituted a triggering event re-
quiring an interim impairment test for the Devices & Services 
and HERE CGUs. Accordingly, an interim review was performed 
in September . No impairment charges were recorded for 
any of the CGUs as a result of either the interim or annual tests. 

The recoverable values of the Smart Devices and Mobile 
Phones CGUs, that are now combined to form the Devices & 
Services CGU and are classifi ed as discontinued operations in 
, were previously valued using a value in use basis. During 
, the Devices & Services CGU recoverable value was de-
termined using a fair value less cost of disposal model based 
on the agreed purchase price defi ned for the Sale of D&S 
Business, excluding any consideration attributable to patents 
or patent applications. 

During , the recoverable amounts of the HERE CGU, 
Radio Access Networks and Global Services Group of CGUs 
have been determined using a fair value less cost of disposal 
model. Fair value less cost of disposal was estimated using 
discounted cash fl ow calculations. The cash fl ow projections 
employed in the discounted cash fl ow calculations have been 
determined by management based on the information avail-
able, to refl ect the amount that an entity could obtain from 
separate disposal of each of the CGUs in an orderly transaction 
between market participants at the measurement date after 
deducting the estimated cost of disposal. The estimates of 
fair value less cost of disposal are categorized as level  of the 
fair value hierarchy.

Discounted cash fl ows for the Nokia Solutions and Networks 

groups of CGUs and HERE CGU were modeled over ten an-
nual periods. The growth rates used in transition to terminal 
year refl ect estimated long term stable growth which do not 
exceed long-term average growth rates for the industry and 
economies in which the CGUs operate. All cash fl ow projections 
are consistent with external sources of information, wherever 
possible. 

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. No informa-
tion has been included for the Devices & Services CGU as the 
recoverable amount was not determined using a discounted 
cash fl ow analysis and the CGU is attributable to discontinued 
operations:

Fair value less cost of disposal for the HERE CGU, Radio 
Access Networks and Global Services groups of CGUs are 
determined using post-tax valuation assumptions including 
projected cash fl ows and the discount rate. 

The discount rates applied in the impairment testing for the 

above noted CGUs or groups of CGUs refl ect current assess-
ments of the time value of money and relevant market risk 
premiums. Risk premiums included in the determination of 
the discount rate refl ect risks and uncertainties for which the 
future cash fl ow estimates have not been adjusted. 

In the fourth quarter of  the Group recorded an impair-
ment loss t of EUR   million to reduce the carrying amount 
of the HERE CGU to its at that time recoverable amount. The 
impairment loss was allocated in its entirety to the carrying 
amount for goodwill. As a result of the impairment loss, the 
amount of goodwill allocated to HERE CGU was reduced to EUR 
  million at December , . The Group’s goodwill im-
pairment testing did not result in impairment charges for the 
years ended December ,  and . An impairment loss 
was recorded with respect to the Group’s HERE CGU in , as 
noted above.

The recoverable amount of the HERE CGU exceeds its carry-
ing amount by a small margin at the testing date. 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 HERE CGU. Management’s estimates of the overall 
automotive volumes and market share, customer adoption of 
the new location-based platform and related service off er-
ings, projected value of the services sold to Microsoft and 
assumptions regarding pricing as well as continued focus on 
cost effi  ciency are the main drivers for the HERE 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 custom-
ers demand complete, end-to-end location solutions and as 
cloud computing and cloud-based services garner greater 
market acceptance. 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 mate-
rial 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. 

Other than disclosed for the HERE CGU above, management 

believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the 
above assumptions would cause the carrying value of any cash 
generating unit to exceed its recoverable amount. 

See Note  to our consolidated fi nancial statements in-
cluded in Item  of this annual report 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 determined 
using widely accepted valuation techniques. We use judgment 
to select an appropriate valuation methodology and underlying 
assumptions 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 transactions, 
() analysis of market prospects and operating performance 
of target companies taking into consideration of public market 
comparable companies in similar industry sectors. Changes 
in these assumptions may cause the Group to recognize 
impairments or losses in future periods. During  the Group 
received distributions of EUR  million (EUR  million in ) 
included in other fi nancial income from a private fund held as 
non-current available-for-sale. Due to a reduction in estimated 
future cash fl ows the Group also recognized an impairment 
loss of EUR  million in  for the fund included in other fi -
nancial expenses. See also note  to our consolidated fi nancial 
statements included in item  of this annual report. 

INCOME TAXES 
The Group is subject to income taxes both in Finland and in nu-
merous other jurisdictions. Signifi cant judgment is required in 
determining income tax expense, uncertain tax positions, de-
ferred 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 NSN taxes as 
no tax benefi ts are recognized for certain Nokia Solutions and 
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 
assets were recognized in the consolidated fi nancial state-
ments due to uncertainty of utilization of these items. 

We recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions based 
on estimates and assumptions 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. The Group has ongo-
ing tax investigations in multiple jurisdictions, including 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.

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.

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.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

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, available at www.cgfi nland.fi , with the following 
exceptions: 

In  Nokia was not in full compliance with recommenda-
tion  of the Finnish Corporate Governance Code as Nokia’s 
Restricted Share Plans did not include any performance 
criteria but were time-based only, with a restriction period 
of at least three years from the grant. Restricted Shares are 
granted only for exceptional retention and recruitment pur-
poses aimed to ensure Nokia is able to retain and recruit talent 
vital to the future success of the Company. In the Restricted 
Share Plan , the number of the shares to be granted was 
reduced signifi cantly and they no longer are part of the annual 
grants.

In  Nokia was not in full compliance with the recom-

mendation  of the  Finnish Corporate Governance Code 
as the termination payment payable due to the termination 
of Nokia’s former President and CEO Stephen Elop’s service 
contract exceeded the aggregate amount of his non-variable 
salary of two years. While we decide on our executives’ total 
compensation through benchmarking against similar compa-
nies, along with other factors, the company’s approach has 
been to keep the non-variable part rather small in proportion 
and emphasize the variable part. This compensation structure 
is designed to align the interest of executive offi  cers with 
those of the shareholders and with Nokia’s performance. The 
termination payment was also signifi cantly aff ected by the 
share price increase from the announcement of the trans-
action with Microsoft through the termination of Mr. Elop’s 
contract, as over % of the termination payment consisted 
of the value of his equity-based compensation. Moreover, 
in the end % of this termination payment was borne by 
Microsoft and the remaining % of the amount, equaling to 
EUR , million, by Nokia pursuant to the agreement between 
Nokia and Microsoft.

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 available 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. 

MAIN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE BODIES 
OF NOKIA

Pursuant to the provisions of the Finnish Limited Liability 
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 CEO and the Nokia Group Leadership Team, 
chaired by the President and CEO.

General Meeting of Shareholders
The shareholders may exercise their decision-making power 
and their right to speak and ask questions at the general 
meeting of shareholders. Each Nokia share entitles a share-
holder to one vote at general meetings of Nokia. Pursuant to 
the Finnish Limited Liability 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 liability 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 Limited Liability 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 
Limited Liability 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.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board represents and is accountable to the shareholders 
of Nokia. The Board’s responsibilities are active, not pas-
sive, and include the responsibility regularly to evaluate the 
strategic direction of Nokia, management policies and the ef-
fectiveness with which management implements them. It is the 
responsibility of the members of the Board to act in good faith 
and with due care so as to exercise their business judgment on 
an informed basis in what they reasonably and honestly believe 
to be in the best interests of the company and its sharehold-
ers. In discharging that obligation, the directors must inform 
themselves of all relevant information 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’s responsibilities also include overseeing the 
structure and composition of Nokia’s top management and 
monitoring legal compliance and the management of risks 
related to Nokia’s operations. In doing so, the Board may set 
annual ranges and/or individual limits for capital expenditures, 
investments and divestitures and fi nancial commitments not 
to be exceeded without Board approval. 

In risk management policies and processes the Board’s role 
includes risk analysis and assessment in connection with fi nan-
cial and business reviews, update and decision-making pro-
posals and it is an integral part of all Board deliberations. For a 
more detailed description of Nokia’s risk management 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 President and Chief Executive Offi  cer (CEO), the 
Chief Financial Offi  cer and the other members of the Nokia 
Group Leadership Team (previously, until May ,  Nokia 
Leadership Team). On September , , Nokia announced 
changes to its leadership as a result of the proposed Sale of 
the D&S Business. These changes were designed to provide 
an appropriate corporate governance structure during the 
interim period following the announcement. As Stephen 
Elop was agreed to transfer to Microsoft upon closing of the 
transaction, he left his position as President and CEO eff ective 
September ,  in order to avoid the perception of any po-
tential confl ict of interest, and continued to lead the Devices 
& Services business as Executive Vice President, Devices & 
Services. For the same reason, Mr. Elop also resigned from the 
Nokia Board of Directors on September , . On the same 
day, Risto Siilasmaa assumed the role of interim CEO role of 
Nokia while continuing to serve in his role as Chairman of the 
Nokia Board of Directors, and Timo Ihamuotila assumed the 
role of interim President and Chairman of Nokia Leadership 
Team while also continuing to serve as Chief Financial Offi  cer. 
On April , , Nokia announced its new strategy and con-
sequently, changes to its leadership. Nokia Board appointed, 
eff ective as from May ,  Rajeev Suri the President and 
Chief Executive Offi  cer of Nokia. His rights and responsibilities 
include those allotted to the President under Finnish law and 
he also chairs the Nokia Group Leadership Team.

Subject to the requirements of Finnish law, the independ-
ent directors of the Board confi rm the compensation and the 
employment conditions of the President and CEO upon the 

recommendation of the Personnel Committee. The compensa-
tion and employment conditions of the other members of the 
Nokia Group Leadership Team are approved by the Personnel 
Committee upon the recommendation of the President and 
CEO.

The Board has three committees: Audit Committee, 
Personnel Committee and Corporate Governance and 
Nomination Committee. These committees assist the Board 
in its duties pursuant to their respective committee char-
ters. The Board elects and the independent directors of the 
Board confi rm the election of the members and Chairmen for 
the Board’s committees from among the Board’s independ-
ent directors upon the recommendation of the Corporate 
Governance and Nomination Committee and based on each 
committee’s member qualifi cation standards. On September , 
 Risto Siilasmaa assumed the position of interim CEO of 
Nokia and consequently stepped down from his position as 
the Chairman of the Corporate Governance and Nomination 
Committee. On the same day, Jouko Karvinen was elected 
the Chairman of the Corporate Governance and Nomination 
Committee. 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 
results of which are discussed by the Board. Regarding , 
the Board conducted an evaluation process consisting of self-
evaluations, peer evaluations as well as interviews. The results 
of the evaluation are discussed by the entire Board.

ELECTION AND COMPOSITION 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 term beginning from the Annual General Meeting 
in which elected and expiring at the close of the following An-
nual General Meeting. The Annual General Meeting convenes 
each year by June .

The Annual General Meeting held on May ,  elected the 
following ten members to the Board of Directors: Bruce Brown, 
Elizabeth Doherty, Stephen Elop, Henning Kagermann, Jouko 
Karvinen, Helge Lund, Mårten Mickos, Elizabeth Nelson, Risto 
Siilasmaa and Kari Stadigh. Stephen Elop resigned from the 
Board of Directors eff ective as from September , , after 
which the Board of Directors has consisted of nine members.
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 to continue as the Chairman and Jouko Karvinen 
as the Vice Chairman of the Board. The Chairman has cer-
tain specifi c duties as defi ned by Finnish law 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 determined that 
the Vice Chairman Jouko Karvinen is independent as defi ned 
by Finnish standards and relevant stock exchange rules. The

Board Chairman Risto Siilasmaa was determined not to be 
independent as defi ned by Finnish standards and the rules of 
the New York Stock Exchange due to his position as interim CEO 
from September , .

Nokia does not have a policy concerning the combination or 
separation of the roles of the Chairman and the President and 
CEO, but the Board leadership structure is dependent on the 
company needs, shareholder value and other relevant factors 
applicable from time to time, respecting the highest corporate 
governance standards. In  through September , , the 
roles were separate while Risto Siilasmaa was the Chairman of 
the Board and Stephen Elop was the President and CEO. During 
the interim period after the announcement of the transaction 
with Microsoft, the roles of Chairman and President continued 
to be separate, as Timo Ihamuotila assumed the role of interim 
President as of September ,  while Risto Siilasmaa as-
sumed the role of interim CEO and continued as the Chairman 
of the Board of Directors. As part of his interim CEO role, Risto 
Siilasmaa took on, among others, the responsibility of leading 
the vision work, strategy process, work on the new company 
structure and managing the CEO recruitment process, while 
Timo Ihamuotila took on, among others, additional respon-
sibilities for matters related to the closing of the Sale of D&S 
Business transaction. Following the new strategy announce-
ment, Rajeev Suri was appointed as the President and CEO 
eff ective as from May , , while Risto Siilasmaa continues 
as the Chairman of the Board.

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

except the interim CEO. The Board has determined that 
seven of the current eight 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 stand-
ards and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange due to a his 
position as CEO of Eucalyptus Systems, Inc. that has a busi-
ness relationship with and receives revenue from Networks. 
The Board Chairman Risto Siilasmaa was determined not to be 
independent under Finnish standards and the rules of the New 
York Stock Exchange due to his position as interim CEO from 
September , .

Meetings of the Board of Directors
The Board held  meetings, during  and if committee 
meetings are included, the total number of meetings was more 
than . Of these meetings approximately third were regularly 
scheduled meetings held in person, complemented by meet-
ings through video or conference calls and other means. In 
addition, in  the non-executive directors held a meeting 
regularly without management in connection with scheduled 
Board meetings. Also, the independent directors held one 
meeting separately in .

Directors’ attendance at the Board meetings, including 
Committee meetings, but excluding meetings among the 
non-executive directors or independent directors only, was as

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 Bruce 
Brown, attended Nokia’s Annual General Meeting held on 
May , . In addition, all the current members of the Board 
of Directors attended Nokia’s Extraordinary General Meeting 
held on November , . 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 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.company.nokia.com/en/about-us. Also, the Committee 
Charters of the Audit Committee, Personnel Committee and 
Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee are avail-
able on Nokia’s website, www.company.nokia.com/en/about-
us. We also have a Code of Conduct which is equally applicable 
to all of Nokia’s employees, directors and management. In 
addition, we have 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.company.nokia.com/en/about-us.

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), 
Elizabeth Doherty and Elizabeth Nelson.

The Audit Committee is established by the Board primarily 

for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and fi nancial 
reporting processes of the company and audits of the fi nan-
cial statements of the company. The Committee is responsi-
ble for assisting the Board’s oversight of () the quality and 
integrity of the company’s fi nancial statements and related 
disclosure, () the statutory audit of the company’s fi nancial 
statements, () the external auditor’s qualifi cations and inde-
pendence, () 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 
assurance function, () the performance of the internal audit 
function, and () the company’s compliance with legal and 
regulatory requirements, including also the performance 
of its ethics and compliance program. The Committee also 

maintains 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 iternal 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”.

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-

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, resolv-

compensation 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 nine meetings in . The

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. 
From May ,  until September , , the Corporate 
Governance and Nomination Committee consisted of the fol-
lowing four members of the Board: Risto Siilasmaa (Chairman), 
Henning Kagermann, Jouko Karvinen and Helge Lund. After 
Risto Siilasmaa assumed the position of Nokia’s interim CEO

Nomination Committee has consisted of the following three 
members of the Board: Jouko Karvinen (Chairman), Henning 
Kagermann and Helge Lund. 

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)

evaluations, including establishing criteria to be used in con-
nection with such evaluations, (v) developing and recommend-

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 
fi ve meetings in . The average attendance at the meetings 
was %. In addition, any director who wishes to, may attend

Directors, Nokia has Nokia Group Leadership Team (previously, 
until May ,  Nokia Leadership Team) that is responsible 
for the operative management of Nokia. The Chairman and 
members of the Nokia Group Leadership Team are appointed 
by the Board of Directors. Nokia Group Leadership Team is 
chaired by the Chief Executive Offi  cer. Only the Chairman of

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 business planning and reviews, 
updates and decision-making proposals. Risk oversight is an 
integral part of all Board deliberations. The Audit Committee 
is responsible 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 risk manage-
ment across business operations and processes with the Nokia 
strategy and plans approved by the Board as the baseline. 
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 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.

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

As part of its assessment the management documented:

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

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

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

■  The signifi cant processes, including six fi nancial cycles and 
underlying IT cycle identifi ed by Nokia to address control 
activities implementing a top down risk based approach. 
These cycles include revenue cycle, delivery cycle, invest-
ment cycle, treasury cycle, human resources cycle, record to 
report cycle and IT cycle. Financial cycles have been de-
signed 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 
reporting, 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

COMPENSATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 
AND THE NOKIA GROUP LEADERSHIP TEAM

The following section explains our compensation policies and 
details for both cash- and equity-based compensation as it re-
lates to the Board of Directors and the Nokia Leadership Team 
which includes the six named executive offi  cers.

As announced by Nokia on April , , the Nokia Leader-
ship Team is renamed as the Nokia Group Leadership Team ef-
fective as from May , . We generally use the term “Nokia 
Leadership Team” when discussing the management and 
compensations in  and, where applicable, use the name 
“Nokia Group Leadership Team” in other connections. The 
terms “Nokia Leadership Team” and “Nokia Group Leadership 
Team” can be used interchangeably in this annual report.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS 

The table below outlines the annual compensation of the 
members of the Board of Directors for services on the Board 
and its committees, as resolved at the respective Annual Gen-
eral Meetings in ,  and .

  Stephen Elop stepped down from his position as President and CEO and 

resigned from the Board of Directors effective September , . He did 
not receive compensation for his service as a member of the Board. 

  The changes in the aggregate Board compensation year on year are due 

to changes in the number of Board members. The compensation paid for 
services rendered remained the same. 

It is Nokia’s policy that directors’ compensation consists 
only of an annual fee and no additional fees are paid for meet-
ing attendance. Approximately % of the director compen-
sation is paid in the form of Nokia shares that are purchased 
from the market. The remaining compensation is paid in cash, 
which is typically used to cover taxes arising from the compen-
sation. The current policy is that the directors are expected to 
retain all Nokia shares received as 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). Non-
executive directors do not participate in any of Nokia’s equity 
programs or receive any other form of variable compensation 
for their duties as Board members. Finally, the President and 
CEO does not receive compensation for his services as a Board 
member. The former President and CEO, Stephen Elop, who 
stepped down from his position as President and CEO and 
resigned from the Board of Directors eff ective September , 
, did not receive compensation for his services as a Board 
member in ,  and . The total compensation of 
the former President and CEO is described below in “Summary 
compensation table ”. 

The compensation of the Board of Directors is resolved an-
nually by our shareholders at our Annual General Meeting. It is 
resolved by a majority vote of the shareholders represented at 
the meeting, upon the proposal of the Corporate Governance 
and Nomination Committee of the Board of Directors. The 
compensation is set as of the date of the Annual General 
Meeting until the close of the next Annual General Meeting. 
When preparing the proposal for Board compensation 
for shareholders’ approval at the Annual General Meeting, it 
is the policy of the Corporate Governance and Nomination 
Committee to review and compare total compensation levels 
and their criteria paid at other global peer companies with net 
sales and complexity of business comparable to that of Nokia. 
The Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee’s aim 
is to ensure that Nokia has an eff ective Board of international 
professionals representing a diverse mix of skills and experi-
ence. A competitive Board compensation contributes to the 
achievement of this target. 

Compensation of the Board of Directors in 2013 
For the year ended December , , the aggregate amount 
of compensation 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 outlines the total annual compensation 
paid to the members of the Board of Directors in , as re-
solved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on May , 
. For more details on Nokia shares held by the members 
of the Board of Directors, please see “Share Ownership of the 
Board of Directors”.

  Marjorie Scardino and Isabel Marey-Semper served on the Board until 

the close of the Annual General Meeting in . They were not paid any 
compensation during fiscal year , but received their compensation

for his services as the President and CEO. For compensation paid for his 
service as the President and CEO, please see “Summary compensation 
table ”. Mr. Elop stepped down from his position as President and CEO 
and resigned from the Board of Directors effective September , .

  Represents compensation paid to Henning Kagermann, consisting of EUR

Proposal by the Corporate Governance 
and Nomination Committee for compensation 
to the Board of Directors in 2014 
On April , , the Corporate Governance and Nomination 
Committee of the Board announced its proposal to the Annual 
General Meeting convening on June ,  regarding the re-
muneration 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 six years and be as follows: EUR   
for the Chairman, EUR   for the Vice Chairman and EUR 
  for each member; for the Chairman of the Audit Com-
mittee and the Chairman of the Personnel Committee an ad-
ditional 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, approximately 
% of the remuneration be paid in Nokia shares purchased 
from the market or alternatively by using own shares held by 
the company, which shares shall be retained until the end of 
a director’s Board membership in line with the current 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 remu-
neration.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION 

The sections below describe our executive compensation 
philosophy, the design of our compensation programs and the 

factors considered during the decision-making process. One of 
the underlying principles of our compensation philosophy and 
our compensation program design is that a signifi cant portion 
of an executive’s total compensation is tied to the company’s 
performance and be aligned with the value delivered to 
shareholders. Of the  total compensation for Stephen 
Elop, the President and CEO until September , , % of 
his compensation was tied to the company’s performance. The 
amount of compensation tied to the company’s performance 
for the other members of the Nokia Leadership Team for  
ranged from % to %. Our programs are designed so that 
this portion of compensation is earned and delivered only 
when results warrant. In , we acquired the full ownership 
of Networks (previously called Nokia Solutions and Networks), 
and the three business continuing with Nokia after the Sale 
of D&S Business were profi table. However, we did not achieve 
all of our targets due to losses sustained in the Devices & 
Services business. As a result, some members of the Nokia 
Leadership Team did not realize signifi cant elements of their 
total compensation in . There were no payments under the 
vested Performance Share Plan to any Nokia Leadership Team 
members and some did not receive annual short-term variable 
incentive.

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

Our executive compensation programs are designed to 
support Nokia in the execution of the corporate strategy. 
Specifi cally, our programs are designed to: 

■  incorporate specifi c performance 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 
named executive offi  cers with those of the shareholders 
through long-term equity-based incentives. 

The competitiveness of Nokia’s executive compensation 

program is one of several key factors that the Personnel 
Committee of the Board considers in its determination 
of compensation for the Nokia Group Leadership Team, 
which includes the named executive offi  cers. The Personnel 
Committee compares, on an annual basis, Nokia’s compensa-
tion practices, base salaries and total compensation, including 
short- and long-term incentives against those of other rel-

120

evant companies with the same or similar revenue, size, global 
reach and complexity that we believe we compete against for 
executive talent. For , the peer group included companies 
in high technology, telecommunications and Internet ser-
vices 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 to keep abreast of changes in the business environ-
ment 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 
compensation levels and programs. Management provides 
the consultant with information regarding Nokia’s compensa-
tion levels and programs in preparation for meeting with the 
Committee. The Committee has reviewed and established that 
the consultant 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 Nokia Group 

Leadership Team’s compensation on an annual basis, and from 
time to time during the year when special needs arise. Without 
management present, the Personnel Committee evaluates 
the performance of the President and CEO against previously 
established goals and objectives, recommends corporate 
goals and objectives for the coming year and proposes to the 
Board the compensation 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. 

Upon the recommendation of the President and CEO, the 

Personnel Committee also approves all compensation, in-
cluding long-term equity incentives and goals and objectives 
relevant to compensation for all members of the Nokia Group 
Leadership Team (other than the President and CEO) and 
other executive level direct reports to the President and CEO. 
Additionally, the Personnel Committee approves annual short-
term incentive payments and reviews the results of perfor-
mance evaluation of Nokia Group Leadership Team members 
(excluding the President and CEO) and other executive level 
direct reports to the President and CEO. 

The Personnel Committee considers the following factors, 

among others, when determining the compensation of the 
Nokia Group Leadership Team or recommending the compen-
sation of the President and CEO to the Board: 

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

■  the performance demonstrated by the executive offi  cer 

during the last year, which is evaluated at the end of the year 
against individual goals that are aligned to Nokia-level fi nan-

cial 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 with 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 were 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 . In  
a full risk assessment will be conducted based on Nokia’s new 
strategy. 

Components of executive compensation 
Our compensation program for Nokia Group Leadership Team 
members includes annual cash compensation in the form of a 
base salary and short-term variable cash incentives, as well as 
long-term equity-based incentives in the form of performance 
shares, stock options and restricted shares. 

ANNUAL CASH COMPENSATION 
Base salaries are targeted at globally competitive market lev-
els. The Personnel Committee evaluates and weighs as a whole 
the appropriate base salary levels based on both our European 
and US peer companies. 

 Short-term cash incentives are an important element of 
our variable compensation programs and are tied directly to 
Nokia-level fi nancial and strategic goals that are shared by the 
Nokia Group Leadership Team. The annual short-term variable 
cash incentive is expressed as a percentage of Nokia Group 
Leadership Team member’s annual base salary. These award 
and measurement criteria are presented in the table below. 
Annual short-term variable incentives are normally deter-
mined for the Nokia Group Leadership Team based on their 
performance as a team. We began  with a team scorecard 
made up of Nokia fi nancial and strategic targets. As a result

of the Sale of D&S Business to Microsoft, in the second half of 
, the team scorecard was modifi ed to include individual 
targets related to the Sale of D&S Business for some Nokia 
Leadership Team members. Some members of the Nokia 
Leadership Team also have an objective based on relative Total 
Shareholder Return. For , the payment with respect to 
relative Total Shareholder Return is based on the Personnel 
Committee’s assessment of Nokia’s total shareholder return 
compared to key peer group companies that are selected by 
the Personnel Committee in the high technology, Internet ser-

vices and telecommunications industries and relevant market 
indices over one, three and fi ve year periods. 

Annual short-term variable incentive goals and underlying 
targets require the full Board’s approval for the President and 
CEO and the Personnel Committee’s approval for the other 
members of the Nokia Group Leadership Team. 

The below table outlines the measurement criteria that were 

established for the President and CEO and members of the 
Nokia Leadership Team for the year . The annual 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. 

Annual short-term variable incentive compensation under 
the Nokia short-term cash incentive program is paid once per 
year based on pre-determined Nokia performance criteria 
assessed as of December . To determine annual short-term 
variable incentive pay-out under the Nokia short-term cash 
incentive program, the Personnel Committee approved incen-
tive goals are evaluated against pre-defi ned achievement 
criteria. The resulting scores are then calculated against each 
executives individual incentive target to ascertain an individu-
al 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 per-
cent and amount is presented to the Personnel Committee for 
approval. In the event the achievement criteria is not met, the 
actual short-term variable 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 annual short term incentive plan 
pay-out was in accordance with achievement against the in-
centive criteria. Other short-term variable incentive payments 
were made to Nokia Leadership Team members for specifi c 
achievements during the year.

in  to our named executive offi  cers, please see “Summary

  Total Shareholder Return reflects the change in Nokia’s share price during 
an established time period, including the amount of dividends paid, di-
vided by Nokia’s share price at the beginning of the period. The calculation 
is conducted in the same manner for each company in the peer group. 
Only some members of the Nokia Leadership Team are eligible for the 
additional Total Shareholder Return element. 

Long-term equity-based incentives 
In , long-term equity-based incentives in the form of 
performance shares, stock options and restricted shares were 
used to align the Nokia Leadership Team members’ interests 
with shareholders’ interests, reward for long-term fi nancial 
performance and encourage retention, while also considering 
evolving regulatory requirements and recommendations and 
changing economic conditions. These awards were determined 
on the basis of the factors discussed above in “Executive Com-
pensation Philosophy, Programs and Decision-making Process”, 
including the comparison of a Nokia Leadership Team mem-
ber’s overall compensation with that of other similarly-situat-
ed executives in the relevant market and the competitiveness 
of the executive’s compensation package in that market. In 
, performance shares would have settled as Nokia shares if 
at least one of the pre-determined threshold performance lev-
els, tied to Nokia’s fi nancial performance, had been achieved 
by the end of the performance period. The value the executive 
would have received was dependent on Nokia’s share price. 
Stock options were granted with the purpose of creating value 
for the Nokia Leadership Team member, 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 has 
also been intended to focus executives on share price appre-
ciation, thus aligning the interests of the executives with those

of shareholders. Restricted shares were used primarily for 
long-term retention purposes for executives deemed critical 
for the future success of Nokia, as well as to support attrac-
tion of promising external talent in a competitive environment 
in which Nokia competes, namely in the United States where 
restricted shares are commonly used. Any shares granted 
are subject to the share ownership guidelines as explained 
below. All equity-based incentives 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 Group Leader-
ship Team members under Nokia equity plans in case of a 
fi nancial restatement caused by an act of fraud or intentional 
misconduct. This policy applies to equity grants made to Nokia 
Group Leadership Team members after January , . 

Information on the actual equity-based incentives granted 
to the members of our Nokia Group Leadership Team in  is 
included in “Share ownership”.

Share ownership guidelines for executive 
management 
One of the main goals of our long-term equity-based incentive 
program is to focus executives on promoting the long-term 
value sustainability of the company and building value for 
shareholders on a long-term basis. In addition to granting eq-
uity, we encourage stock ownership by our top executives and 
have stock ownership commitment guidelines with minimum 
recommendations tied to annual base salaries. For the Presi-
dent and CEO, the recommended minimum investment in Nokia 
shares corresponds to three times his annual base salary and 
for members of the Nokia Group Leadership Team two times 
annual base salary. To meet this requirement, all members of 
the Nokia Group 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 Group Leadership Team are considered primary 
insiders. Under the policy, the holdings of Nokia securities by 
the primary insiders are public information and are available 
on our website and at Euroclear Finland Ltd. 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 four-week “closed-window” period immediately 
preceding the release of our interim and annual results includ-
ing the day of the release. Nokia also sets trading restrictions 
based on participation in projects. We update our insider 
trading policy from time to time and provide training to ensure 
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.

SERVICE CONTRACT OF STEPHEN ELOP DUE TO HIS 
PRESIDENT AND CEO ROLE

Stephen Elop’s employment contract, dated Septem-
ber , , covered his position as President and CEO. The 
agreement provided for an annually adjusted base salary 
(EUR    for ) and an annual management incentive 
target under the Nokia short-term cash incentive program of 
% of annual base salary. Mr. Elop was entitled to the ben-
efi ts in line with our policies applicable to the Nokia Leadership 
Team, however, some of his benefi ts were being provided on a 
tax-assisted basis. 

Mr. Elop’s employment contract was amended eff ective as 

of September , , as a result of entering into a transac-
tion with Microsoft for the Sale of D&S Business. Under the 
terms of the amendment, Mr. Elop resigned from his position 
as President and CEO as of September ,  and assumed 
the role of Executive Vice President, Devices & Services. He 
also resigned from his position as a member of Board of 
Directors as of the same date. After the closing of the Sale 
of D&S Business, he transferred to Microsoft as agreed with 
Microsoft. In accordance with his service contract he received 
a severance payment of EUR . million in total. This amount 
included: base salary and management incentive EUR . mil-
lion and value of equity awards EUR . million. The amount 
of the equity awards was based on the Nokia closing share 
price of EUR . per share at NASDAQ OMX Helsinki on April , 
. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement with 
Microsoft entered into in connection with the Sale of D&S 
Business, % of the total severance payment was borne by 
Microsoft and the remaining % of the severance amount 
(EUR . million) was borne by Nokia. 

Mr. Elop is subject to a covenant restricting him from work-
ing for specifi ed competitors of Nokia for  months following 
the termination of his contract with Nokia. Nokia waived his 
competition restriction with respect to Microsoft only in con-
nection with amending his service contract in September .

For information about the compensation and benefi ts 

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

Interim governance 
On September , , Nokia announced changes to its leader-
ship as a result of the proposed Sale of D&S Business to Micro-
soft. These changes were to ensure appropriate corporate 
governance structure during the interim period following the 
announcement until the consummation of the transaction. In 
order to avoid the perception of any potential confl ict of inter-
est, Stephen Elop, who agreed to transfer to Microsoft upon 
the closing of the transaction, continued to lead the Devices & 
Services business, but resigned from his position as President 
and CEO and member of the Board of Directors as of Septem-
ber , . 

On the same date, Risto Siilasmaa assumed the role of 
interim CEO of Nokia while continuing to serve in his role as 
Chairman of the Nokia Board of Directors, and Timo Ihamuotila 
assumed the role of interim President and Chairman of the 
Nokia Leadership Team while also continuing to serve as Chief 
Financial Offi  cer.

changes to its leadership. Nokia Board appointed, eff ective 
from May ,  Rajeev Suri as the President and CEO of Nokia. 
He also chairs the Nokia Group Leadership Team.

ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION FOR CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD 
RISTO SIILASMAA DUE TO HIS INTERIM CEO ROLE 

As a result of entering into the Sale of D&S Business, Risto 
Siilasmaa assumed additional responsibilities as interim CEO 
from September , , through April ,  in addition to 
his role as the Chairman of the Board of Nokia. As compensa-
tion for these additional responsibilities, he received a total 
amount of EUR  . In order to reinforce the alignment of 
his interests with those of shareholders, % of this amount 
was delivered to him in Nokia shares bought on the open mar-
ket. The remaining % was paid in cash, most of which was 
used to cover the estimated associated taxes. In recognition of 
Mr. Siilasmaa performance in his role as interim CEO, the Board 
of Directors approved on January , , an additional award 
of   Nokia shares (gross, i.e. deducted by applicable 
taxes) to be purchased for Mr. Siilasmaa from the market dur-
ing an open insider window period. Mr. Siilasmaa is to retain 
the net amount of shares delivered to him as stipulated for the 
Board members. 

EXECUTIVE AGREEMENT OF TIMO IHAMUOTILA DUE TO HIS 
INTERIM PRESIDENT ROLE

Mr. Ihamuotila’s executive agreement covers his position as 
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Offi  cer. In addition 
to his responsibilities as Chief Financial Offi  cer of Nokia, Timo 
Ihamuotila assumed additional responsibilities as interim 
President and Chairman of the Nokia Leadership Team, from 
September , , through April , . In recognition 
of these additional responsibilities, Mr. Ihamuotila received 
EUR   paid in fi ve monthly installments of EUR   
each commencing in October . In addition, Mr. Ihamuotila 
received an equity grant with an approximate aggregate grant 
date value of EUR   in the form of stock options and re-
stricted shares. These grants are subject to the plans’ stand-
ard terms and conditions and vesting schedules as described 
in the Equity-based incentive programs section below. 

No changes were made to his compensation as a result of 
his additional responsibilities as Interim President, other than 
as described above. His annual base salary for  was EUR 
 . His annual management incentive target under the 
Nokia short-term cash incentive program is % of annual 
base salary. He is eligible to participate in Nokia’s long-term 
equity-based incentive programs according to Nokia policies 
and guidelines and as determined by the Board of Directors. 
Mr. Ihamuotila is also entitled to benefi ts in line with our poli-
cies applicable to the Nokia Group Leadership Team. 

In case of termination by Nokia for reasons other than 
cause, Mr. Ihamuotila is entitled to a severance payment of 
up to  months of compensation inclusive of annual base 
salary, annual management incentive at target and benefi ts. 
Additionally, a pro-rated portion of all unvested performance 
shares, restricted shares and stock options would have 
been treated as vested until March , . On March , 
, the Personnel Committee approved an amendment 

to Mr. Ihamuotila’s executive agreement which replaced the 
above described pro-rated vesting of unvested equity with a 
full acceleration of unvested equity incentive grants awarded 
as at March , . For equity grants awarded after March 
, , neither the pro-rated vesting nor accelerated vesting 
treatment will apply. 

In case of termination by Nokia for cause, Mr. Ihamuotila will 

not be entitled to any notice period or additional compensa-
tion and all his equity will be forfeited. In case of termination 
by Mr. Ihamuotila for cause, he is entitled to a severance 
payment equivalent of up to  months compensation inclu-
sive of annual base salary, annual management incentive at 
target and benefi ts. In case of termination by Mr. Ihamuotila, 
the notice period is six months and he is entitled to a payment 
for such notice period inclusive of annual base salary, annual 
management incentive at target and benefi ts for six months. 
All unvested equity will be forfeited.

Mr. Ihamuotila is subject to a -month non-competition 
obligation after termination of his contract. Unless the con-
tract is terminated by Nokia for cause, Mr. Ihamuotila may be 
entitled to compensation during the non-competition period 
or a part of it. Such compensation amounts to the annual base 
salary and management incentive at target for the respective 
period during which no severance payment is paid.

In the event of a change of control of Nokia, Mr. Ihamuotila 
will be treated in accordance with his change of control agree-
ment as described below in “Employment arrangements with 
the Nokia Group Leadership Team”. 

SERVICE CONTRACT OF PRESIDENT AND CEO RAJEEV SURI, 
EFFECTIVE FROM MAY 1, 2014 

On April ,  the Nokia Board of Directors resolved to 
appoint Mr. Rajeev Suri as Nokia’s President and CEO eff ec-
tive from May , . Pursuant to a new service contract 
Mr. Suri’s annual base salary, which is subject to annual review 
by the Board of Directors and confi rmation by the independ-
ent members of the Board, is EUR    and his incentive 
target under the Nokia short-term cash incentive plan is % 
of annual base salary. Mr. Suri is entitled to the customary ben-
efi ts in line with our policies applicable to the senior executives, 
however, some of the benefi ts are being provided to him on a 
tax assisted basis. Mr. Suri is also eligible to participate in Nokia 
Group’s long-term equity based compensation programs in 
accordance with Nokia policies and guidelines and as deter-
mined by the Board of Directors. In , Mr. Suri will receive an 
annual Nokia equity grant of   Peformance Shares plus a 
one-time discretionary grant of   Performance Shares.
Mr. Suri’s service contract may be terminated as follows:

■  Termination by Nokia for reasons other than cause. In the 
event of a termination by Nokia for reasons other than 
cause, Mr. Suri is entitled to a severance payment equaling 
up to  months of compensation (including annual base sal-
ary, benefi ts, and target incentive), and his unvested equity 
awards will be forfeited.

■  Termination by Nokia for cause. In the event of a termina-

tion by Nokia for cause, Mr. Suri is entitled to no additional 
compensation and all his unvested equity awards will be 
forfeited.

124

N O K I A   I N   2 0 1 3

■  Termination by Mr. Suri for any reason. Mr. Suri may termi-
nate his service contract at any time with six months’ prior 
notice. Nokia may choose to pay a lump sum payment in lieu 
of his service during the notice period or ask Mr. Suri to con-
tinue his service through all or part of this notice period. In 
either event, Mr. Suri is entitled to six months compensation 
(including annual base salary, benefi ts, and target incentive), 
and his unvested equity awards will be forfeited.

■  Termination by Mr. Suri for Nokia’s material breach of the 
service contract. In the event that Mr. Suri terminates his 
service contract based on a fi nal arbitration award dem-
onstrating Nokia’s material breach of the service contract, 
he is entitled to a severance payment equaling to up to 
 months of compensation (including annual base salary, 
benefi ts, and target incentive), and all his unvested equity 
awards will be forfeited.

ownership of NSN. The plan had two objectives: () increasing 
the value of NSN and () creating incentives relating to an exit 
option for its parent companies. With the signifi cantly im-
proved performance of NSN, the fi rst objective has been met. 
The second objective has not occurred and given the change 
in Nokia’s strategy, the likelihood of a sale or IPO has reduced. 
Accordingly, the value of the payouts under the NSN Equity 
Incentive Plan are expected to be reduced by %. 

The actual payments, if any, under the NSN Equity Incentive 

Plan will be determined based on the value of the Networks 
business and could ultimately decline to zero if the value of 
the business falls below a certain level. There is also a cap that 
limits the upside for all plan participants, and if an IPO or sale 
has not occurred, the maximum total payment to Mr. Suri pur-
suant to the plan would be limited to EUR . million. In the 
unlikely event of an IPO or exit event the value of the options 
could exceed this maximum. 

■  Termination based on specifi ed events. Mr. Suri’s service 

These equity awards were originally intended to vest upon 

contract includes special severance provisions on a termina-
tion following change of control events. These change of 
control provisions are based on a double trigger structure, 
which means that both a change of control event and the 
termination of the individual’s employment within a defi ned 
period of time must take place for any change of control 
based severance payment to become due. More specifi -
cally, if a change of control event, as defi ned in the service 
contract, has occurred, and Mr. Suri’s service with the com-
pany is terminated either by Nokia or its successor without 
cause, or by Mr. Suri for “good reason”, in either case within 
 months from such change of control event, Mr. Suri will 
be entitled to a severance payment equaling to up to  
months of compensation (including annual base salary, 
benefi ts, and target incentive) and cash payment(or pay-
ments) for the pxro-rated value of his outstanding unvested 
equity awards, including equity awards under the NSN Equity 
Incentive Plan, restricted shares, performance shares and 
stock options (if any), payable pursuant to the terms of the 
service contract. “Good reasons” referred to above include 
amaterial reduction of Mr. Suri’s compensation and a mate-
rial reduction of his duties and responsibilities, as defi nedin 
the service contract and as determined by the Board of 
Directors. 

In addition, the service contract defi nes a specifi c, limited 
termination event that applies until June , . Upon this 
event, if. Mr. Suri’s service with Nokia is terminated as a result 
of the circumstances specifi ed in the service contract, he is 
entitled to, in addition to normal severance payment payable 
upon his termination by Nokia for reasons other than cause, 
to a pro-rated value of unvested equity awards under the NSN 
Equity Incentive Plan, provided that the termination of his 
service takes place within six months from the defi ned termi-
nation event (and on or before June , ). Subject to this 
limited time treatment of unvested equity awards under the 
NSN Executive Incentive Plan, all of Mr. Suri’s other unvested 
equity will be forfeited.

Subject to his continued employment, Mr. Suri is also 
expected to receive payments in the future pursuant to op-
tions granted under the NSN Equity Incentive Plan. This plan 
was established in  prior to Nokia’s acquisition of full 

the sale or IPO of NSN, or upon the fourth anniversary of 
the grant date. Given the change in Nokia’s strategy and the 
signifi cant improvement in the performance of NSN, the Nokia 
Board of Directors has determined that % of the options 
will vest on the third anniversary of grant (June , ) and 
% will continue to vest on the fourth anniversary of grant 
(June , ) 

Mr. Suri is subject to a -month non-competition obliga-
tion that applies after the termination of the service contract

  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 deter-
mined 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. 

   Includes Marko Ahtisaari for the period until October , .

   For the Nokia Leadership Team member whose employment terminated 

during , the long-term equity-based Incentives were forfeited follow-
ing termination of employment in accordance with plan rules. 

Nokia Group Leadership Team member may be entitled to 
compensation during the non-competition period or a part 
of it. Such compensation amounts to the annual base salary 
and annual management incentive at target for the respective 
period during which no severance payment is paid.

The Nokia Group Leadership Team members have change of 

control agreements with Nokia, which serve as an addendum 
to their executive agreements. These change of control agree-
ments are based on a double trigger structure, which means 
that both the change of control event and the termination of 
the individual’s employment must take place for any change of 
control based severance payment to materialize. More specifi -
cally, if a change of control event, as defi ned in the agreement, 
has occurred in the company, and the individual’s employment 
with the company is terminated either by Nokia or its succes-
sor without cause, or by the individual for “good reason” (for 
example, material reduction of duties and responsibilities), 
in either case within  months from such change of control 
event, the individual will be entitled to his or her notice period 
compensation (including base salary, benefi ts, and target 
incentive) and cash payment (or payments) for the pro-rated 
value of the individual’s outstanding unvested equity, includ-
ing restricted shares, performance shares, stock options and 
equity awards under NSN Equity Incentive Plan, payable pursu-
ant to the terms of the agreement. The Board of Directors 
has the full discretion to terminate or amend the change of 
control agreements at any time.

PENSION ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE NOKIA 
GROUP LEADERSHIP TEAM 

The members of the Nokia Group Leadership Team participate 
in the local retirement programs applicable to employees in 
the country where they reside. This applies also to Mr. Elop, the 
former President and CEO, and Mr. Suri, the President and CEO 
as from May , , who are not entitled to any extraordinary 
pension arrangements. Executives in Finland, including Mr. 
Elop and Mr. Suri participate in the Finnish TyEL pension sys-
tem, 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 ni-
tion of earnings, although gains realized from equity are not. 
Retirement benefi ts are available from age  to , according 
to an increasing scale. The Nokia Group Leadership Team mem-
bers in the United States participate in Nokia’s US Retirement 
Savings and Investment Plan. Under this (k) plan, partici-
pants 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 
Group Leadership Team members in Germany participate in 
the Nokia German Pension Plan that is % company funded. 
Contributions are based on pensionable earnings, the pension 
table and retirement age. For the Nokia Group 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 employ-
er. These contributions are held within the UK Pension Scheme 
and are invested in funds selected by the member.

A signifi cant portion of equity grants presented in the below 
Summary compensation table to the named executive offi  cers 
are tied to the performance of the company and aligned with 
the value delivered to shareholders. Therefore, the amounts 
shown are not representative of the amounts that will actually 
be earned and paid out to each named executive offi  cer (but 

rather the accounting grant date fair value of each applica-
ble grant, which is required to be reported in the Summary 
compensation table). In fact, for each of the years reported, 
the compensation “realized” by each named executive of-
fi cer is lower than the amount required to be reported in the 
Summary compensation table.

  The positions set forth in this table are the positions of the named execu-

tive officers as of December , .

  The amount consists of the annual short term variable compensation and/
or other incentives earned and paid or payable by Nokia for the respective 
fiscal year. The amount above is inclusive of any discretionary variable 
spot compensation earned by active Nokia Leadership Team members for 
specific contributions during the year.

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

awarded for the respective fiscal year. The fair value of stock options 
equals the estimated fair value on the grant date, calculated using the 
Black-Scholes model.

The fair value of performance shares and restricted shares equals the 
estimated fair value on grant date. The estimated fair value is based on 
the grant date market price of a Nokia share less the present value of 
dividends expected to be paid during the vesting period. The value of 
the performance shares is presented on the basis of granted number of 
shares, which is two times the number of shares at 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   ; and Ms. Pentland EUR   ; Mr. Halbherr 
EUR    and Ms. Harlow 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.

  All other compensation for Mr. Elop in  includes: EUR   for tax 
services for fiscal years ,  and ; housing of EUR  ; EUR 
  for participation in a health assessment and leadership perfor-
mance program; home security EUR  ; and EUR   taxable benefit 
for premiums paid under supplemental medical and disability insurance 
and for mobile phone and driver.

  All other compensation for Mr. Siilasmaa in  includes: EUR   as 
compensation for his additional responsibilities as Interim CEO, % of 
this amount was delivered to him in shares bought on the open market. 

The remaining % was paid in cash, most of which was used to cover the 
estimated associated taxes. The table does not include the compensation 
he is paid for his role as Chairman of the Board of Directors. 

  All other compensation for Mr. Ihamuotila in  includes: EUR   

for car allowance; EUR   for security and EUR   taxable benefit 
for premiums paid under supplemental medical and disability insurance 
and for mobile phone and driver; EUR   for participation in a health 
assessment and leadership performance program. In recognition of 
additional responsibilities for his role as acting President, Mr. Ihamuotila 
received EUR   cash paid in  installments starting in October , 
resulting in EUR   being paid in  and EUR   being paid in 
. Additionally, he received an equity grant value EUR   (included 
in the stock award and stock options columns) which will vest in accord-
ance with normal plan rules. 

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

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

  All other compensation for Ms. Pentland in  includes: EUR   com-
pany contributions to the (k) Plan and EUR  provided under Nokia’s 
international assignment policy in the UK.

  All other compensation for Mr. Halbherr in  includes: EUR   

company contributions to the German Pension Plan and EUR   for car,

pation in a health assessment and leadership performance program.

EQUITY-BASED INCENTIVE PROGRAMS 

General 
The Board of Directors approved on February ,  Nokia 
equity based incentive programme for the year . The pro-
gramme for  will be explained in more detail under “Nokia 
eguity based incentive programme ”. 

During the year ended December , , we administered 
two global stock option plans, four global performance share 
plans, four global restricted share plans and an employee 
share purchase plan. Both executives and employees partici-
pate in these plans. Our compensation programs promote 
long-term value creation and sustainability of the company 
and are designed to ensure that compensation is based on 
performance. Performance shares have been the main ele-
ment of the company’s broad-based equity compensation 
program for several years to emphasize the performance ele-
ment in employees’ long-term incentives. 

The primary equity instruments for the executive employ-
ees were performance shares and stock options. Restricted 
shares have also been used for executives for retention pur-
poses. The portfolio approach has been designed to build an 
optimal and balanced 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 align-
ing recipients’ interests with those of shareholders. For direc-
tors below the executive level, the primary equity instruments 
have been performance shares and restricted shares. Below 

  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 the Nokia share less the present value 
of dividends 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.

the director level, performance shares and restricted shares 
have been 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. 

The equity-based incentive grants are conditioned upon 
continued employment with Nokia, as well as the fulfi llment 
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   and approximately   as at 
December , .

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. The interim CEO was not eligible to 
receive any equity-based incentive grants and did not receive 
any grants during . The interim President’s stock option 
and restricted share grants in recognition of his additional 
responsibilities as the interim President were made upon 
recommendation by the Personnel Committee and approved 
by the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms and 
conditions of the plans. Stock option, performance share and 
restricted share grants to the other Nokia Group Leadership 
Team members and other direct reports of the President and 
CEO are approved by the Personnel Committee. Stock op-
tion, 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 perfor-
mance criteria. The below table illustrates the performance 
criteria of the Performance Share Plans from  through 
.

The  and  plans have 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

ered if Nokia’s performance does not reach the performance 
criteria. The below table summarizes the relevant periods and

  No Nokia shares were delivered under the Nokia Performance Share Plan 
 as Nokia’s performance did not reach the requisite threshold level 
with respect to the applicable performance criteria under the plan.

  No Nokia shares will be delivered under the Nokia Performance Share 

Plans  and  as Nokia’s performance did not reach the requisite 
threshold level with respect to the applicable performance criteria for 
either plan.

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 Nokia Performance Share Plan . 
There will also be no payout from Nokia Performance Share 
Plan  as the threshold level under the applicable perfor-
mance criteria was not reached. 

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. 

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 during 
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 deter-
mined on a one-week weighted average to mitigate any day-
specifi c fl uctuations in Nokia’s share price. The determination 
of exercise price is defi ned in the terms and conditions of the 
stock option plans, which were approved by the shareholders 
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 Nokia Restricted Share Plans , ,  and 
, each of which, including its terms and conditions, has 
been approved by the Board of Directors.

employees in selected jurisdictions (excluding Networks’ em-
ployees for ), to the extent there are no local regulatory or 
administrative obstacles for the off er. The participation in the 
plan will be voluntary to eligible employees. 

Performance shares 
The Nokia Performance Share Plan  has a two-year perfor-
mance period ( through ) and a subsequent one-year 
restriction period. Therefore, the amount of shares based on 
the fi nancial performance during  –  will vest after 
. The performance criteria for the performance period are 
as follows:

For Nokia Group employees (excluding HERE employees):

■  Nokia Group average annual non-IFRS net sales

■  Nokia Group average annual non-IFRS EPS

For HERE employees:

■  Nokia Group average annual non-IFRS EPS

■  HERE average annual non-IFRS net sales

■  HERE average annual non-IFRS operating profi t

The number of shares to be settled after the restriction 
period will start at % of the granted amount and any payout 
beyond this will be determined with reference to the fi nancial 
performance against the established performance criteria 
during the two-year performance period.

The threshold and maximum levels for the Nokia 

Performance Share Plan  are as follows: 

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. 

Employee share purchase plan 
During , Nokia launched for the fi rst time an Employee 
Share Purchase Plan (so called Share in Success). Under the 
Employee Share Purchase Plan, eligible Nokia employees could 
elect to make monthly contributions from their salary to 
purchase Nokia shares. The contribution per employee cannot 
exceed EUR   per year. The share purchases are 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 were delivered to employees who 
made the fi rst three consecutive monthly share purchases. 
The participation in the plan was voluntary to the employees. 

Nokia equity-based incentive program 2014 
On February , , the Board of Directors approved the 
scope and design of the Nokia Equity Program . The Board 
of Directors decided not to propose stock options for the  
Annual General Meeting. Similarly to the earlier equity incen-
tive programs, the Equity Program  is designed to support 
the participants’ focus and alignment with Nokia’s long term 
success. Nokia’s use of the performance-based plan as the 
main long-term incentive vehicles is planned to eff ectively con-
tribute to the long-term value creation and sustainability of 
the company and to align the interests of the employees with 
those of the shareholders. It is also designed to ensure that 
the overall equity-based compensation is based on perfor-
mance, while also ensuring the recruitment and retention of 
talent vital to the future success of Nokia. Shares under the 
Nokia Restricted Share Plan  are intended to be granted 
only for exceptional retention and recruitment purposes as 
to ensure Nokia is able to retain and recruit talent vital to the 
future success of the group. In addition, the Employee Share 
Purchase Plan continues to be off ered to encourage employee 
share ownership, commitment and engagement. 

The primary equity instruments for the executive em-
ployees and directors below executive level are performance 
shares. Below the director level, performance 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. Shares under Nokia Restricted Share 
Plan  are intended to be granted only for exceptional 
retention and recruitment purposes as to ensure Nokia is able 
to retain and recruit talent vital to the future success of the 
group. The Employee Share Purchase Plan will be off ered to all

*  The minimum payout of % of the grant amount will be payable only 

in the event that the calculated payout (based on Nokia’s performance 
against the performance criteria) is beneath % achievement against the 
performance criteria.

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 all 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 all criteria will 
result in the vesting of approximately . million shares and will 
be the minimum payout under the plan. Minimum payout un-
der the plan, even if threshold performance is not achieved, is 
. million shares due to the % minimum payout. The vesting 
will occur after . Until Nokia shares are delivered, the par-
ticipants will not have any shareholder rights, such as voting or 
dividend rights associated with these performance shares. 

RESTRICTED SHARES 
Restricted shares under the Nokia Restricted Share Plan  
approved by the Board of Directors are used as described 
above on a selective basis to ensure extraordinary retention 
and recruitment of individuals with functional mastery and 
other employees deemed critical to Nokia’s future success 
and will only be used in limited and exceptional circumstances. 
This is a change to the earlier practice when restricted shares 
were included as part of the annual compensation reviews. The 
restricted shares under the Nokia 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 share-
holder 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 following the end of the -month savings period. 
Participation in the plan is voluntary to the employees.

MAXIMUM PLANNED GRANTS UNDER THE NOKIA EQUITY-
BASED INCENTIVE PROGRAM 2014 IN YEAR 2014

The approximate maximum numbers of planned grants under 
the Nokia Equity Program  (i.e., performance shares,

  The number of Nokia shares to be delivered at minimum is a quarter of 

maximum performance, i.e., a total of . million Nokia shares. 

  The calculation for the Employee Share Purchase Plan is based on the 

closing share price EUR . on February , , the day prior to board 
approval. 

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 
Equity Program  would be approximately another .%. 
Due to the Sale of D&S Business to Microsoft shares will be 
forfeited when employees transfer to Microsoft. The impact 
to dilution is .%, and, consequently, overall expected maxi-
mum dilution of outstanding equity programs is .%.

NSN EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
Networks established a share-based incentive plan in  
under which options over Networks shares were granted to 
selected employees (“NSN Equity Incentive Plan”). The options 
generally become exercisable on the fourth anniversary of the 
grant date or, if earlier, on the occurrence of certain corporate 
transactions such as an initial public off ering (“Corporate 
Transaction”).

The exercise price of the options is based on a Networks 
share value on grant as determined for the purposes of the 
NSN Equity Incentive Plan. The options will be cash-settled 
at exercise, unless an initial public off ering has taken place, 
at which point they would be converted into equity-settled 
options. If the options are cash-settled, the holder will be en-
titled to half of the share appreciation based on the exercise 
price and the estimated value of shares on the exercise date, 
unless there has been a change of control, as specifi ed in the 
plan terms, in which case the holder will be entitled to all of the 
share appreciation. If a Corporate Transaction has not taken 
place by the sixth anniversary of the grant date, the options 
will be cashed out. If an initial public off ering has taken place, 
equity-settled options remain exercisable until the tenth an-
niversary of the grant date. The gains that may be made under 
the NSN Equity Plan are also subject to a cap.

As a consequence of (i) Networks having become a wholly 
owned subsidiary of Nokia, and (ii) Nokia being in the process 
of the Sale of the D&S business, the Board of Directors ap-
proved on February ,  a modifi cation to the NSN Equity 
Incentive Plan to allow % of the options to vest on the third 
anniversary of the grant date, with the remainder of the op-
tions continuing to become exercisable on the fourth anniver-
sary of the grant date, or earlier, in the event of a Corporate 
Transaction.

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 or alternatively by us-
ing own shares held by the company. It is also Nokia’s current 
policy that the Board members retain all Nokia shares received 
as director compensation until the end of their board mem-
bership (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, re-
stricted shares or any other equity based or otherwise vari-
able compensation for their duties as Board members. 

For a description of the compensation for our Board of 

Directors, please see “Compensation of the Board of Directors 
in ”.

The Nokia Group Leadership Team members have received 

equity-based compensation in the form of performance 
shares, restricted shares, stock options and equity awards 
under the Networks Equity Incentive Plan. For a description of 
our equity-based compensation programs for employees and 
executives, see “Equity-based incentive programs”.

Share ownership of the Board of Directors 
At December , , the members of our Board of Direc-
tors held the aggregate of    shares and ADSs in Nokia, 
which represented .% of our outstanding shares and total 
voting rights excluding shares held by Nokia Group at that date. 
Each member of the Board of Directors owns less than % of 
Nokia shares.

The following table sets forth the number of shares and 
ADSs held by the members of the Board of Directors as at 
December , .

Includes  Nokia Leadership Team members at year end. Figures do not 
include those former Nokia Leadership Team members who left during 
. 

  The percentage is calculated in relation to the outstanding number of 

shares and total voting rights of the company, excluding shares held by 
Nokia Group. Each Nokia Leadership Team member owns less than % of 
Nokia shares. 

  The percentage is calculated in relation to the total outstanding equity

  No Nokia shares were delivered under the Nokia Performance Share Plan 
, which vested in . Nokia’s performance did not reach the requi-
site threshold level with respect to the applicable performance criteria. 
Therefore, the shares deliverable at threshold equaled zero and no Nokia 
shares were delivered pursuant to the Nokia Performance Share Plan . 

  No Nokia shares were delivered under the Nokia Performance Share Plan 
, which vested in . Nokia’s performance did not reach the requi-
site threshold level with respect to the applicable performance criteria. 
Therefore, the shares deliverable at maximum equaled zero and no Nokia 
shares were delivered pursuant to the Nokia Performance Share Plan . 

There will also be no payout under the Nokia Performance Share Plan . 
At maximum performance under the Nokia Performance Share Plans , 
the number of shares deliverable equals four times the number of perfor-
mance shares at threshold. At the end of the performance period for the 
Nokia Performance Share Plan , which ended on December , , 
the threshold performance criteria for net sales and EPS were not met. 
Therefore, there will be no payout under the Nokia Performance Share 
Plan  as the threshold level under the applicable performance criteria 
was not reached.

  The performance period for the  plan is  – , for the  plan 
 –  (with a subsequent one-year restriction period) and for the 
 plan  –  (with a subsequent one-year restriction period), 
respectively. 

  The threshold number will vest as Nokia shares, subject to the pre-

determined threshold performance levels being met with respect to the 
applicable performance criteria. No Nokia shares were delivered under 
the Nokia Performance Share Plan , which would have vested in , 
as Nokia’s performance did not reach the threshold level with respect to 
the applicable performance criteria. Therefore, the shares deliverable at 
threshold equaled zero for the Nokia Performance Share Plan . There 
will also be no payout from the Nokia Performance Share Plan  as 
the requisite threshold level with respect to the applicable performance 
criteria was not reached. Therefore, the shares deliverable at threshold 
equals zero for the Nokia Performance Share Plan .

  The maximum number will vest as Nokia shares, subject to the pre-

determined maximum performance levels being met with respect to the 
applicable performance criteria. The maximum number of performance 
shares equals four times the number at threshold. No Nokia shares 
were delivered under the Nokia Performance Share Plan , as Nokia’s 
performance did not reach the requisite threshold level with respect to 
the applicable performance criteria. Therefore, the shares deliverable at 
maximum equaled zero for the Nokia Performance Share Plan . There 
will also be no payout from the Nokia Performance Share Plan  as

  For Nokia Performance Share Plans  and  the value of perfor-
mance shares is presented on the basis of Nokia’s estimation of the 
number of shares expected to vest. The intrinsic value for the Nokia 
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 Nokia Performance Share Plan  no Nokia shares were 
delivered, as Nokia’s performance did not reach the threshold level of 
either performance criteria. There will also be no payout from the Nokia 
Performance Share Plan  as the requisite threshold level with respect 
to the applicable performance criteria was not reached. Therefore, the 
shares deliverable at threshold equals zero for the Nokia Performance 
Share Plan .

  Under the Nokia Restricted Share Plans , ,  and , awards 

have been granted quarterly. For the major part of the awards made 
under these plans, the restriction period will end for the  plan on 
January , ; for the  plan on January , ; for the  plan on 
July , ; and for the  plan on July , . 

  The intrinsic value is based on the closing market price of a Nokia share on 

NASDAQ OMX Helsinki as at December ,  of EUR .. 

  During , Marko Ahtisaari stepped down from the Nokia Leadership 
Team. The information related to performance shares and restricted 
shares held by Mr. Ahtisaari is as of the date of resignation from the Nokia 
Leadership Team and is presented in the table below.

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 NSN. 

Audit Committee pre-approval policies 
and procedures 
The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors is responsible, 
among other matters, for the oversight of the external auditor 
subject to the requirements of Finnish law. The Audit Commit-
tee has adopted a policy regarding pre-approval of audit and 
permissible non-audit services provided by our independent 
auditors (the “Policy”). 

Under the Policy, proposed services either (i) may be pre-
approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with certain 
service categories described in appendices to the Policy (“gen-
eral 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 author-

ity to one or more of its members. The 
appendices to the Policy set out the audit, 
audit-related, tax and other services that 
have received the general pre-approval of 
the Audit Committee. All other audit, audit-
related (including services related to internal 
controls and signifi cant M&A projects), tax 
and other services are subject to a specifi c 
pre-approval from the Audit Committee. All 
service requests concerning generally pre-
approved services will be submitted to the 

Corporate Controller, who will determine whether the services 
are within the services generally pre-approved. The Policy 
and its appendices are subject to annual review by the Audit 
Committee. 

The Audit Committee establishes budgeted fee levels an-
nually for each of the four categories of audit and non-audit 
services that are pre-approved under the Policy, namely, audit, 
audit-related, tax and other services. Requests or applications 
to provide services that require specifi c approval by the Audit 
Committee are submitted to the Audit Committee by both the 
independent auditor and the Corporate Controller. At each 
regular meeting of the Audit Committee, the independent 
auditor provides a report in order for the Audit Committee to 
review the services that the auditor is providing, as well as the 
status and cost of those services.

  Audit fees consist of fees billed for the annual audit of the company’s con-
solidated 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. The NSN Audit-related fees for  
are primarily related to due diligence services provided in connection with 
the transaction where Nokia purchased Siemens’ stake in NSN, which was 
completed on August , . 

  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 
and advice; (iv) consultations and tax audits (assistance with technical tax 
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
