This is a summary of the Nokia Corporation Interim Report for Q1
2025 published today. Nokia only publishes a summary of its financial reports in stock exchange releases. The summary focuses
on Nokia Group's financial information as well as on Nokia's outlook. The detailed, segment-level discussion will be available in the
complete financial report hosted at www.nokia.com/financials. A video interview summarizing the key points of our Q1 results will
also be published on the website. Investors should not solely rely on summaries of Nokia's financial reports and should also review the
complete reports with tables.
JUSTIN HOTARD, PRESIDENT AND CEO, ON Q1 2025 RESULTS
In the following quote, net sales growth rates are
on a constant currency and portfolio basis.
Since joining Nokia as President and CEO three weeks ago, I’ve
had great engagements with some of our customers, partners and employees. I see great potential for Nokia, and my early focus is on capital
allocation to ensure we both drive efficiency and invest sufficiently in the right growth segments for long-term value creation. I am
impressed with our core technology base across our portfolio including in RAN and core as well as in IP, Optical and Fiber technologies.
In speaking with customers, it is clear we play a critical role as a trusted partner operating their mobile and fixed networks and have
the potential to expand our presence in hyperscale, enterprise and defense markets. Spending the time with our employees I've been excited
by their innovative spirit, energy and drive to unlock Nokia's full potential.

STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 24 April 2025 |
Our first quarter financial performance saw a net sales decline of
3%. However, excluding the catch-up element of licensing deals signed in the prior year, sales grew 7%. Our operating margin declined
year-on-year due to the challenging prior year comparison in Nokia Technologies and a one-time charge in Mobile Networks, while profitability
improved in both Network Infrastructure and Cloud and Network Services.
Network Infrastructure net sales grew 11% with all units contributing
to growth and its backlog increased. The highlight of the first quarter was the completion of the Infinera acquisition. Our expanded Optical
Networks business had a strong first quarter with 15% net sales growth along with several important design wins, particularly with hyperscalers.
We have initiated the integration of Infinera and made many important roadmap decisions which we communicated to customers in early April.
We are on track to deliver our synergy targets and I believe this acquisition has significant value creation potential for Nokia.
In Mobile Networks we continue to see positive signs of stabilization
with further wins in addition to those we discussed last quarter. Today we have announced an important contract extension with T-Mobile
US. Regarding our financial performance, net sales grew 2% but profitability was impacted by an unexpected one-time contract settlement
with a net impact of EUR 120 million. The settlement related to a project for a single customer that started shipping in 2019 and the
settlement fully resolves the situation.
Cloud and Network Services delivered net sales growth of 8% and we
continue to see strong demand in the market for our 5G Core offers with additional footprint won at AT&T, Boost Mobile, Ooredoo Qatar
and Telefónica. Nokia Technologies continued its execution with further deals signed in the quarter that increased the contracted
annual net sales run-rate to approximately EUR 1.4 billion.
Looking forward, we are not immune to the rapidly evolving global trade
landscape however based on early customer feedback, I believe our markets should prove to be relatively resilient. In 2025, we continue
to expect strong net sales growth in Network Infrastructure, growth in Cloud and Network Services and largely stable net sales for Mobile
Networks. In Nokia Technologies we expect approximately EUR 1.1 billion of operating profit.
Regarding the tariff situation, there could be some short-term disruption.
We will continue to utilize the flexibility of our global manufacturing network to minimize impact of the evolving tariff landscape. Based
on what we see today, we currently expect a EUR 20 to 30 million impact to our comparable operating profit in the second quarter from
the current tariffs. Given the lack of visibility, we have not taken an assumption related to tariffs in the second half of 2025.
In terms of our outlook for the financial year 2025, we will continue
to focus on investing in future growth opportunities and we now have an unexpected charge impacting Mobile Networks. Considering these
factors, while achieving the top-end of the range will now be more challenging, our comparable operating profit guidance remains between
EUR 1.9 and 2.4 billion. Our free cash flow guidance remains between 50% and 80% of comparable operating profit.

STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 24 April 2025 |
In the coming months I will continue to listen and learn from customers,
employees, shareholders and other stakeholders. I will provide an update with our Q2 results and I look forward to presenting our complete
value creation vision for Nokia at our capital markets day which we now expect to hold in November.

STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 24 April 2025 |
SHAREHOLDER DISTRIBUTION
Dividend
The Board of Directors proposes
that the Annual General Meeting 2025 to be held on 29 April 2025 authorizes the Board to resolve on the distribution of an aggregate
maximum of EUR 0.14 per share to be paid in respect of the financial year 2024. The authorization would be used to distribute dividend
and/or assets from the reserve for invested unrestricted equity in four installments during the authorization period unless the Board
decides otherwise for a justified reason. Subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting, the Board is expected to resolve on the
amount and timing of each distribution so that the preliminary record and payment dates will be as set out in the Board’s proposal
to the Annual General Meeting. Accordingly, the first expected record date would be 5 May 2025 and the expected payment date would
be 12 May 2025. The actual dividend payment date outside Finland will be determined by the practices of the intermediary banks transferring
the dividend payments.
Share buyback program
On 27 June 2024, Nokia announced
its intention to acquire Infinera in a transaction that valued Infinera at US$1.7 billion equity value with up to 30% of the consideration
to be paid in Nokia American depositary shares, depending on the elections of Infinera shareholders. To offset the dilution from the transaction
to Nokia shareholders, on 22 November 2024 Nokia announced a share buyback program targeting to repurchase 150 million shares. This
share buyback program was completed on 2 April 2025. Under this program, Nokia repurchased 150 million of its own shares at an average
price per share of approximately EUR 4.69. The repurchases reduced the company’s unrestricted equity by approximately EUR 703 million
and the repurchased shares were cancelled on 23 April 2025.

ADDITIONAL TOPICS
Completion of Infinera acquisition
On 28 February 2025, Nokia announced the completion of the acquisition
of Infinera Corporation, pursuant to the definitive agreement announced on 27 June 2024. Infinera, the San Jose based global supplier
of innovative open optical networking solutions and advanced optical semiconductors, has become part of the Nokia group effective as of
the closing with Nokia holding 100% of its equity and voting rights. The total purchase consideration was EUR 2.5 billion, consisting
of cash proceeds, Nokia shares in the form of American Depositary Shares, the fair value of the portion of Infinera’s performance
and restricted shares attributable to pre-combination services that were replaced with Nokia’s share-based payment awards and the
fair value of Infinera’s convertible senior notes in line with relevant bond indentures. For more information regarding the acquisition,
refer to Note 3. Acquisitions in Nokia Corporation Interim Report for Q1 2025.
"Constant currency and portfolio net sales growth" alternative
performance metric
In Q1 2025, Nokia has introduced a new alternative performance metric
(APM), "constant currency and portfolio net sales growth”. Constant currency and portfolio net sales growth is presented on
a constant currency basis and also assumes certain specific acquisitions had already been owned during both periods and as if disposals
had already occurred in both comparison periods. This has been added to mainly consider the acquisition of Infinera and is an evolution
of the constant currency APM that had been previously used.
RISK FACTORS
Nokia and its businesses are exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties
which include but are not limited to:
| · | Competitive intensity, which is expected to continue at a high level as some competitors seek to take share; |
| · | Changes in customer network investments related to their ability to monetize the network; |
| · | Our ability to ensure competitiveness of our product roadmaps and costs through additional R&D investments; |

| CEO Commentary
In the following quote, net sales growth rates are on a constant currency and
portfolio basis.
Since joining Nokia as President and CEO three weeks ago, I’ve
had great engagements with some of our customers, partners
and employees. I see great potential for Nokia, and my early
focus is on capital allocation to ensure we both drive efficiency
and invest sufficiently in the right growth segments for long-term value creation. I am impressed with our core technology
base across our portfolio including in RAN and core as well as in
IP, Optical and Fiber technologies. In speaking with customers,
it is clear we play a critical role as a trusted partner operating
their mobile and fixed networks and have the potential to
expand our presence in hyperscale, enterprise and defense
markets. Spending the time with our employees I've been
excited by their innovative spirit, energy and drive to unlock
Nokia's full potential.
Our first quarter financial performance saw a net sales decline
of 3%. However, excluding the catch-up element of licensing
deals signed in the prior year, sales grew 7%. Our operating
margin declined year-on-year due to the challenging prior year
comparison in Nokia Technologies and a one-time charge in
Mobile Networks, while profitability improved in both Network
Infrastructure and Cloud and Network Services.
Network Infrastructure net sales grew 11% with all units
contributing to growth and its backlog increased. The highlight
of the first quarter was the completion of the Infinera
acquisition. Our expanded Optical Networks business had a
strong first quarter with 15% net sales growth along with
several important design wins, particularly with hyperscalers.
We have initiated the integration of Infinera and made many
important roadmap decisions which we communicated to
customers in early April. We are on track to deliver our synergy
targets and I believe this acquisition has significant value
creation potential for Nokia.
In Mobile Networks we continue to see positive signs of
stabilization with further wins in addition to those we discussed
last quarter. Today we have announced an important contract
extension with T-Mobile US. Regarding our financial
performance, net sales grew 2% but profitability was impacted
by an unexpected one-time contract settlement with a net
impact of EUR 120 million. The settlement related to a project
for a single customer that started shipping in 2019 and the
settlement fully resolves the situation.
Cloud and Network Services delivered net sales growth of 8%
and we continue to see strong demand in the market for our
5G Core offers with additional footprint won at AT&T, Boost
Mobile, Ooredoo Qatar and Telefónica. Nokia Technologies
continued its execution with further deals signed in the quarter
that increased the contracted annual net sales run-rate to
approximately EUR 1.4 billion.
Looking forward, we are not immune to the rapidly evolving
global trade landscape however based on early customer
feedback, I believe our markets should prove to be relatively
resilient. In 2025, we continue to expect strong net sales
growth in Network Infrastructure, growth in Cloud and Network
Services and largely stable net sales for Mobile Networks. In
Nokia Technologies we expect approximately EUR 1.1 billion of
operating profit.
Regarding the tariff situation, there could be some short-term
disruption. We will continue to utilize the flexibility of our global
manufacturing network to minimize impact of the evolving
tariff landscape. Based on what we see today, we currently
expect a EUR 20 to 30 million impact to our comparable
operating profit in the second quarter from the current tariffs.
Given the lack of visibility, we have not taken an assumption
related to tariffs in the second half of 2025.
In terms of our outlook for the financial year 2025, we will
continue to focus on investing in future growth opportunities
and we now have an unexpected charge impacting Mobile
Networks. Considering these factors, while achieving the top-end of the range will now be more challenging, our comparable
operating profit guidance remains between EUR 1.9 and 2.4
billion. Our free cash flow guidance remains between 50% and
80% of comparable operating profit.
In the coming months I will continue to listen and learn from
customers, employees, shareholders and other stakeholders. I
will provide an update with our Q2 results and I look forward to
presenting our complete value creation vision for Nokia at our
capital markets day which we now expect to hold in November.

Shareholder distribution
Dividend
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General
Meeting 2025 to be held on 29 April 2025 authorizes the Board
to resolve on the distribution of an aggregate maximum of EUR
0.14 per share to be paid in respect of the financial year 2024.
The authorization would be used to distribute dividend and/or
assets from the reserve for invested unrestricted equity in four
installments during the authorization period unless the Board
decides otherwise for a justified reason. Subject to approval by
the Annual General Meeting, the Board is expected to resolve
on the amount and timing of each distribution so that the
preliminary record and payment dates will be as set out in the
Board’s proposal to the Annual General Meeting. Accordingly,
the first expected record date would be 5 May 2025 and the
expected payment date would be 12 May 2025. The actual
dividend payment date outside Finland will be determined by
the practices of the intermediary banks transferring the
dividend payments.
Share buyback program
On 27 June 2024, Nokia announced its intention to acquire
Infinera in a transaction that valued Infinera at US$1.7 billion
equity value with up to 30% of the consideration to be paid in
Nokia American depositary shares, depending on the elections
of Infinera shareholders. To offset the dilution from the
transaction to Nokia shareholders, on 22 November 2024 Nokia
announced a share buyback program targeting to repurchase
150 million shares. This share buyback program was completed
on 2 April 2025. Under this program, Nokia repurchased 150
million of its own shares at an average price per share of
approximately EUR 4.69. The repurchases reduced the
company’s unrestricted equity by approximately EUR 703
million and the repurchased shares were cancelled on 23 April
2025.

| Financial Results
Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024
Net sales
In Q1 2025, reported net sales decreased 1% and were
positively impacted by foreign exchange rate fluctuations along
with the following drivers.
On a constant currency and portfolio basis, Nokia's net sales
decreased 3% as Nokia Technologies declined, partially offset
by growth in Network Infrastructure, Mobile Networks and
Cloud and Network Services. Nokia Technologies net sales
declined 52% mainly related to more than EUR 400 million
catch-up net sales recognized in the year-ago-quarter, partially
offset by agreements signed during the last 12 months and
catch-up net sales related to agreements signed in Q1 2025.
Network Infrastructure grew 11%, with growth in all business
units. Cloud and Network Services grew 8%, reflecting strength
in Core Networks. The 2% increase in Mobile Networks
reflected growth in Americas, and to a lesser extent APAC, while
EMEA declined.
Gross margin
Reported gross margin decreased 820 basis points to 41.5% in
Q1 2025 and comparable gross margin decreased 820 basis
points to 42.3%. The decline was attributable to lower net
sales in Nokia Technologies along with lower gross margin in
Mobile Networks. The Mobile Networks gross margin decline
was driven by a one-time contract settlement with a net impact
of EUR 120 million in the quarter, and related to a customer
specific project that started in 2019.
Operating profit/loss and margin
Reported operating loss in Q1 2025 was EUR 48 million, or
negative 1.1% of net sales, down from positive 9.1% in the
year-ago quarter. Comparable operating profit decreased 74%
to EUR 156 million, while comparable operating margin was
3.6%, down from 13.5% in the year-ago quarter. The decrease
was driven by lower gross profit and higher operating
expenses, resulting from targeted investments for long-term
growth. Other operating income also declined mainly reflecting
higher losses related to Nokia's venture fund investments.
Nokia's venture fund investments generated a loss of
approximately EUR 30 million in Q1 2025, impacted by
unfavorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations, compared to
no impact in Q1 2024. The impact of hedging in Q1 2025 was
negative EUR 6 million, compared to a positive impact of EUR
15 million in Q1 2024.
In Q1 2025, the difference between reported and comparable
operating profit was primarily driven by the amortization of
acquired intangible assets of EUR 97 million, EUR 64 million of
restructuring and associated charges, EUR 23 million of
transaction and related costs associated with the Infinera
acquisition and EUR 19 million related to the release of
acquisition-related fair value adjustments to inventory. In Q1
2024, the difference between reported and comparable
operating profit was primarily related to EUR 104 million of
restructuring and associated charges, the amortization of
acquired intangible assets of EUR 77 million and the
impairment and write-off of assets of EUR 14 million.
Profit/loss from continuing operations
Reported loss from continuing operations in Q1 2025 was EUR
60 million, compared to a profit of EUR 451 million in Q1 2024.
Comparable profit from continuing operations in Q1 2025 was
EUR 153 million, compared to EUR 512 million in Q1 2024. The
decrease in comparable profit from continuing operations was
driven by the decline in comparable operating profit, which was
somewhat offset by a decrease in income tax expenses and a
net positive movement in financial income and expense.
Apart from the items affecting comparability included in
operating profit (and their associated tax effects), the
difference between reported and comparable profit from
continuing operations in Q1 2025 was mainly due to the
change in fair value of Infinera convertible notes of negative
EUR 29 million, the fair value reduction of current equity
investments in Vodafone Idea of negative EUR 13 million, as
well as the change in financial liability to acquire non-controlling
interest in Nokia Shanghai Bell of negative EUR 7 million. In Q1
2024, the difference between reported and comparable profit
from continuing operations was mainly due to a positive
EUR 83 million change in the recognition of deferred tax assets
and a positive change in financial liability to acquire non-controlling interest in Nokia Shanghai Bell of EUR 10 million.
Profit/loss from discontinued operations
The accounting for Submarine Networks was moved into
discontinued operations in Q2 2024. There was no reported
profit/loss from discontinued operations in Q1 2025,
compared to a loss of EUR 13 million in Q1 2024, which was
mainly related to Submarine Networks.
Earnings per share
Reported diluted EPS from continuing operations was negative
EUR 0.01 in Q1 2025, compared to EUR 0.08 in Q1 2024.
Comparable diluted EPS from continuing operations was EUR
0.03 in Q1 2025, compared to EUR 0.09 in Q1 2024. Reported
diluted EPS from discontinued operations was EUR 0.00 in both
Q1 2025 and Q1 2024. Reported diluted EPS was negative EUR
0.01 in Q1 2025, compared to EUR 0.08 in Q1 2024.
Comparable diluted EPS was EUR 0.03 in Q1 2025 compared to
EUR 0.09 in Q1 2024.
Cash performance
During Q1 2025, net cash decreased by EUR 1 866 million,
resulting in an end-of-quarter net cash balance of EUR 2 988
million. Total cash decreased by EUR 1 584 million sequentially
to EUR 7 157 million. The declines in both net cash and total
cash were primarily related to the acquisition of Infinera
offsetting free cash flow generation in the quarter. Free cash
flow was positive EUR 721 million in Q1 2025.
Additional topics
Completion of Infinera acquisition
On 28 February 2025, Nokia announced the completion of the
acquisition of Infinera Corporation, pursuant to the definitive
agreement announced on 27 June 2024. Infinera, the San Jose
based global supplier of innovative open optical networking
solutions and advanced optical semiconductors, has become
part of the Nokia group effective as of the closing with Nokia
holding 100% of its equity and voting rights. The total
purchase consideration was EUR 2.5 billion, consisting of cash
proceeds, Nokia shares in the form of American Depositary
Shares, the fair value of the portion of Infinera’s performance
and restricted shares attributable to pre-combination services
that were replaced with Nokia’s share-based payment awards
and the fair value of Infinera’s convertible senior notes in line
with relevant bond indentures. For more information regarding
the acquisition, refer to Note 3. Acquisitions.
"Constant currency and portfolio net sales growth" alternative
performance metric
In Q1 2025, Nokia has introduced a new alternative
performance metric (APM), "constant currency and portfolio
net sales growth". Constant currency and portfolio net sales
growth is presented on a constant currency basis and also
assumes certain specific acquisitions had already been owned
during both periods and as if disposals had already occurred in
both comparison periods. This has been added to mainly
consider the acquisition of Infinera and is an evolution of the
constant currency APM that had been previously used.

Network Infrastructure net sales increased 20% on a reported
basis and 11% on a constant currency and portfolio basis, with
growth from all business units. The momentum seen in the
second half of 2024 continued in the first quarter of 2025.
During the quarter, the acquisition of Infinera was closed on 28
February and it is now included in the Optical Networks
business. This added EUR 143 million of net sales to Optical
Networks for the month of March.
IP Networks net sales increased 7% on a constant currency
basis, led by double-digit growth in both enterprise and
hyperscale customers, as well as growth with CSP customers.
On a regional basis, the Americas grew strongly, driven by
North America, while APAC saw strength in India, Japan and
many other countries, offsetting a decline in Greater China.
Optical Networks net sales grew 15% on a constant currency
and portfolio basis, as demand trends continued to improve.
The growth reflected particular strength in North America. The
recovery of the optical market continued in Q1 2025, and
Optical Networks has seen continued success in the hyperscale
market which drove both sales growth and significant order
intake growth in the quarter, in addition to broad-based growth
across CSPs.
Fixed Networks grew strongly in the quarter, with net sales
increasing 9% on a constant currency basis. This was mainly
driven by a strong performance in APAC, where India grew
significantly versus the year-ago quarter related to fixed
wireless access deployments. North America within the
Americas also grew from continued investment in consumer
premises devices and fiber, while the EMEA region declined.
Gross profit improved year-on-year, primarily driven by higher
net sales and the inclusion of Infinera. Gross margin was stable
year-on-year.
Operating profit increased year-on-year, reflecting higher
gross profit, partially offset by higher operating expenses
related to selected investments to drive future growth
opportunities.
The consolidation of Infinera for the month of March had a
positive EUR 6 million impact on Network Infrastructure
operating profit in the quarter. If Nokia had consolidated the
business for the entire quarter (i.e. also January and February),
Infinera would have had a negative EUR 20 million impact on
Network Infrastructure in the first quarter.
Adjusted free cash flow in the first quarter was EUR 222
million, mainly reflecting inflows from net working capital,
related to a decrease in receivables.

Mobile Networks net sales increased 3% on a reported basis
and 2% on a constant currency basis.
The net sales growth was primarily driven by the Americas, and
to a lesser extent APAC, while EMEA declined. Within the
Americas, North America grew at a double-digit rate mainly as a
result of low levels of investment in the year-ago quarter, while
Latin America declined. Within APAC, net sales in India returned
to growth, while rest of APAC and Greater China declined. In
EMEA, both Europe and Middle East and Africa declined.
Both gross profit and gross margin declined compared to the
year-ago quarter. While the year-ago gross margin benefited
from exceptionally low indirect cost of sales, the 1 000bps
decline in gross margin was mostly attributable to a one-time
contract settlement with a net impact of EUR 120 million
realized in the quarter. This charge relates to a customer
specific project that started in 2019. The settlement fully
resolves the situation. Nokia continues to focus on several
initiatives to improve its gross margin in Mobile Networks
despite operating in what remains a highly competitive market.
Operating loss and operating margin were lower year-on-year
in Q1 2025, mainly reflecting the one-time charge impacting
gross profit. Additionally, operating expenses declined year-on-year while other operating income increased, reflecting a
reversal of loss allowances on certain trade receivables.
Adjusted free cash flow in the first quarter was positive EUR
354 million mainly reflecting inflows from net working capital,
related to a decrease in receivables.

Cloud and Network Services net sales increased 4% on a
reported basis, and 8% on a constant currency and portfolio
basis. The growth was mainly driven by strength in Core
Networks. The difference between reported and constant
currency and portfolio relates to a small impact from currency
along with a 5 percentage point impact from the divestment of
the Device Management and Services Management Platform
businesses in early 2024.
From a regional perspective, Cloud and Network Services saw
strong net sales growth in APAC, driven by India, as well as
growth in both the Americas and EMEA regions.
Gross margin increased 650bps year-on-year which was driven
by the top line growth and the margin expansion in both Core
and Applications businesses.
Both operating profit and operating margin improved year-on-year, mainly reflecting the increased gross profit, as well as
a slight decline in operating expenses.
Adjusted free cash flow in the first quarter was positive

Adjusted free cash flow 142 482 (71%)
Nokia Technologies net sales decreased 51% on a reported
basis and 52% on a constant currency basis in the first quarter.
The decline was due to more than EUR 400 million catch-up net
sales recognized in the year-ago-quarter, partially offset by
agreements signed during the last 12 months and catch-up net
sales related to agreements signed in Q1 2025. Nokia
Technologies continues to make good progress in expanding to
new areas such as automotive, consumer electronics, IoT and
multimedia.
Agreements signed in the quarter include Amazon and other
smaller deals.
Nokia Technologies annual net sales run-rate has now
increased to approximately EUR 1.4 billion in the first quarter
despite a headwind from recent currency movements.
The decrease in operating profit primarily reflected the net
sales decline and to a lesser extent higher operating expenses
from continued R&D investments.
Adjusted free cash flow in the first quarter was EUR 142
million as Nokia received some prepayments in 2023 and 2024
in Nokia Technologies which impacted cash conversion in Q1
2025. It is expected to align more closely with operating profit

net sales from Radio Frequency Systems (RFS), mainly driven by
the divested business carved out in earlier periods.
The decline in operating result was primarily driven by Nokia's
venture fund investments, which reflected a loss of
approximately EUR 30 million this quarter, impacted by
unfavorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations, compared to
no impact in Q1 2024.
Adjusted free cash flow in the first quarter was negative

The table above provides net sales information for the group
based on three geographical areas and their sub-regions.
Reported changes are disclosed in the table above. The
regional commentary below focuses on discussing on a
constant currency and portfolio basis.
The net sales performance in the Americas was driven by
increases in all of the networks businesses with particular
strength in both Network Infrastructure and Mobile Networks.
Within the Americas, North America saw strong growth in
Optical Networks and IP Networks within Network
Infrastructure, and double digit growth in Mobile Networks. The
decline in Latin America was mainly driven by Network
Infrastructure and Mobile Networks.
Net sales in APAC increased in the first quarter, driven by
growth in all three networks businesses, particularly Network
Infrastructure and Cloud and Network Services, as growth in
India was somewhat offset by declines in Greater China and
Rest of APAC.
EMEA net sales decreased in the first quarter, negatively
impacted by challenging prior year comparison in Nokia
Technologies (which is entirely reported in Europe). Excluding
Nokia Technologies, EMEA net sales still declined, as growth in
Network Infrastructure and Cloud and Network Services was
more than offset by a decline in Mobile Networks. Within EMEA,
Mobile Networks was the primary driver behind the net sales
decline in both Europe and Middle East & Africa.

The recovery in CSP spending continued in Q1 2025, which
drove a net sales increase of 3% on a constant currency and
portfolio basis, reflecting growth across all three networks
businesses.
Enterprise net sales increased 27% on a constant currency and
portfolio basis in Q1 2025, with strong growth with both
hyperscale and other enterprise customers. This was
particularly evident in Network Infrastructure, with Optical
Networks benefiting from the Infinera acquisition and IP
Networks benefiting from recent commercial momentum.
Nokia continues to expand its presence in private wireless, now
with 890 customers.
For a discussion on net sales to Licensees, please refer to the
Nokia Technologies section of this report.
The decline in ‘Other’ net sales relates to a decrease in net
sales in RFS, driven by the divested business carved out in

(1) Net cash and interest-bearing financial investments does not include lease liabilities. For details, please refer to the Alternative performance measures section in this report.
The cash flow descriptions below include cash flows from both
continuing operations and discontinued operations.
Free cash flow
During Q1 2025, Nokia’s free cash flow was positive EUR 721
million, as comparable operating profit and cash inflows related
to net working capital were somewhat offset by capital
expenditures and restructuring.
Net cash from operating activities
Net cash from operating activities was driven by:
▪ Nokia’s adjusted profit of EUR 368 million.
▪ The cash inflow related to net working capital in the quarter
was approximately EUR 610 million. This included
approximately EUR 90 million cash outflow related to
restructuring and associated items from the current and
previous cost savings programs. The balance of EUR 700
million cash inflow can be broken down as follows:
◦ The decrease in receivables was approximately EUR 620
million primarily driven by the seasonal decrease in
accounts receivable. The balance sheet impact related to
sale of receivables in the quarter reduced.
◦ The increase in inventories was approximately EUR 30
million.
◦ The increase in liabilities was approximately EUR 100
million mainly related to a decrease in accounts payable
which was more than offset by an increase in contract
liabilities and liabilities related to employee variable pay.
▪ An outflow related to cash taxes of approximately EUR 90
million.
▪ An inflow related to net interest of approximately EUR 10
million.
Net cash from investing activities
▪ Net cash used in investing activities was due primarily to the
outflows related to the acquisition of Infinera equity of
approximately EUR 990 million (net of acquired cash) and
capital expenditures of approximately EUR 170 million. These
were somewhat offset by inflows related to other non-current financial investments of approximately EUR 20 million
and inflows from the sale of assets of approximately EUR 10
million.
Net cash from financing activities
▪ Net cash used in financing activities was related primarily to
the acquisition of treasury shares of approximately EUR 550
million, dividend payments of approximately EUR 160 million,
and lease payments of approximately EUR 50 million.
Change in total cash and net cash
In Q1 2025, the approximately EUR 280 million difference
between the change in total cash and net cash was primarily
due to the net impact of the repayment of debt and the
addition of Infinera bonds as part of the acquisition.
Foreign exchange rates had an approximately EUR 20 million
positive impact on net cash.
Infinera acquisition
The impact to our net cash position in the quarter related to
the Infinera acquisition was approximately EUR 2.3 billion. This
consisted of EUR 990 million cash payment (net of acquired
cash), EUR 785 million related to Infinera convertible bonds and

| Sustainability
Nokia’s sustainability strategy comprises five strategic focus areas: environment, industrial digitalization, security and privacy,
bridging the digital divide and responsible business. Below is a recap of our key Q1 progress, highlighting how our strategic
priorities have guided performance across these focus areas.
Environment
In 2024, Nokia announced its commitment to reducing its total
global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to net zero by 2040
and we can now proudly share that Nokia’s net zero target has
been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
This milestone reflects our strong record of transparent
targets.
Nokia is focused on improving energy efficiency across its
entire product portfolio. At Mobile World Congress we
announced new features for our Virtual Power Plant solution
which helps mobile operators monetize backup batteries in the
power reserve markets. We also showcased an app with Google
running on Android devices that helps subscribers track and
minimize their own carbon footprint, while reducing power
consumed from the network.
During the quarter we announced that Deutsches
Forschungsnetz e.V. (DFN), the German National Research and
Education Network, selected Nokia to modernize its IP core
network accelerating scientific research with a higher
bandwidth and increased network capacity. Nokia is providing
DFN with an energy-efficient solution that offers up to 75%
reduced power consumption and enhances network capacity
from 100G to 400G, with potential for future expansion to
800G ensuring scalability to meet the growing demands of
scientific research and collaboration.
Acknowledging our environmental efforts, ABI Research
recognized Nokia as the overall leader in its competitive ranking
for Telco Scope 3 Emissions Management. This ranking
assesses top telecom vendors based on their efforts, progress
and long-term commitment in reducing Scope 3 emissions, the
largest contributor to their carbon footprint. These emissions
arise from upstream and downstream activities, including
customer product usage and supplier operations.
We are also proud to share that Nokia was recognized by
Corporate Knights, a leading sustainability research
organization, in its global rankings. Nokia secured a position in
the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World. In
addition, Nokia was named to the Clean200 list, which
highlights the world’s top publicly traded companies leading
the way in clean energy solutions and the transition to a
sustainable economy.
Industrial digitalization
Digitalization and enhanced connectivity are a critical part of
the solution to decarbonizing and dematerializing physical
industries that significantly contribute to global carbon
emissions.
TenneT, one of Europe’s leading offshore transmission systems
operator, selected Nokia to provide the critical optical
networking technology for eight new 2-gigawatt offshore wind
platforms in the Dutch North Sea. These platforms will be
crucial in Europe’s shift to renewable energy, linking offshore
wind farms to onshore infrastructure and aiding the goal of
climate neutrality by 2050. This partnership highlights how
Nokia’s technology can enable the transition from fossil fuels to
a cleaner, more secure energy supply.
Hetzner, a European hosting provider, and Nokia partnered to
upgrade the company’s data center and core network
infrastructure. Hetzner gains the scalability, automation, and
energy efficiency needed to meet growing demands while
optimizing operational efficiency. Other data center
modernization wins include DE-CIX and Maxis.
In recent years, port terminal operators have been under
growing pressure to increase productivity as the volume of
shipping trade increases. Carrix, a marine terminal and rail yard
operator, will deploy Nokia’s private wireless solution in key U.S.
container terminals. The solution will provide reliable and
secure connectivity for critical operations and also greater
scalability enabling future digital innovations in the marine
terminals industry.
Security and privacy
Security and privacy are the cornerstones of Nokia’s product
proposition.
Nokia and Honeywell Aerospace Technologies have announced
a strategic partnership with Numana to advance Quantum-Safe
Networks (QSN) in Montreal, Canada, and worldwide. This
collaboration will accelerate the adoption of next-generation
secure networking technologies for enterprises and service
providers.
Nokia and Fibrus have signed a five-year agreement to deploy
the Nokia Deepfield solution across its growing network
following a successful trial. This partnership will enhance Fibrus’
ability to protect its network from cyber threats like DDoS
attacks and manage the increasing demand for high-quality
broadband services.
Bridging the digital divide
We aim to bridge the digital divide and connect the
unconnected through our broadband and innovative
connectivity solutions.
Nokia has a 2030 target for its Fiber-to-the-Home technology
to connect 140 million new subscribers. This quarter, Nokia
announced new deals with several customers including
BerryComm, a regional internet service provider, to expand its
fiber network in central Indiana with Nokia technology. By
deploying Nokia's fiber solutions, BerryComm aims to deliver
high-speed internet connectivity for thousands of homes and
businesses.
The challenge for many operators will be rolling out fiber to the
next billion homes in rural or underserved areas. Those that
can digitalize the fiber rollout process are more likely to see a
better return. Nokia has thus launched Broadband Easy, an
automated platform aimed at simplifying and accelerating fiber
optic deployments. By automating processes like network
design, project management, and deployment, Broadband Easy
significantly reduces rollout complexity and time. The platform
aims to help bridge the digital divide by ensuring faster, more
reliable internet access globally.
Responsible business
We work to ensure that our business practices are aligned with
our ethical responsibility values.
Ethisphere, the leader in defining and advancing the standards
of ethical business practices, named Nokia as one of the
World's Most Ethical Companies®. We are proud to receive this
recognition once again. Among the 136 honorees Nokia is one
of two companies from the telecommunications industry and
the only Finnish company recognized in 2025.

(1) In January 2024, Nokia announced a share buyback program under which it acquired 157 646 220 shares for an aggregate amount of EUR 600 million during a period
between 20 March and 21 November 2024. The purpose of the repurchases was to optimize Nokia's capital structure through the reduction of capital. The repurchased
shares were canceled in December 2024.
(2) In November 2024, Nokia announced a new share buyback program to offset the dilutive effect of the acquisition of Infinera Corporation. Share purchases commenced on 25
November 2024 and by 31 March 2025 Nokia had acquired 143 051 153 shares for an aggregate amount of EUR 669 million. The program was completed on 2 April 2025
when Nokia had acquired 150 000 000 shares representing the maximum number of shares that could be repurchased under the program for an aggregate amount of EUR
703 million. The repurchased shares were canceled on 23 April 2025.
At 31 March 2025 Nokia has recorded a liability and a reduction of reserve for invested unrestricted equity of EUR 231 million to reflect Nokia’s commitment under the
agreement with a third-party broker conducting the share repurchases on Nokia’s behalf. The liability and reduction of reserve for invested unrestricted equity were reversed
upon completion of the program.
All repurchases are funded using funds in the reserve for invested unrestricted equity and the repurchases will reduce total unrestricted equity.

followed in this financial statement information as was followed in the annual consolidated financial statements for 2024.
Percentages and figures presented herein may include rounding differences and therefore may not add up precisely to the totals presented and may vary
from previously published financial information. This financial report was authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 24 April 2025.
Net sales and operating profit of the Nokia group, particularly in Network Infrastructure, Mobile Networks and Cloud and Network Services segments, are
subject to seasonal fluctuations being generally highest in the fourth quarter and lowest in the first quarter of the year. This is mainly due to the seasonality
in the spending cycles of communications service providers.
Acquisition of Infinera
On 28 February 2025, Nokia completed the acquisition of Infinera Corporation (Infinera), pursuant to the definitive agreement announced on 27 June 2024.
Infinera, the San Jose based global supplier of innovative open optical networking solutions and advanced optical semiconductors, has become part of the
Nokia group effective as of the closing with Nokia holding 100% of its equity and voting rights. Refer to Note 3. Acquisitions for more information on the
acquisition and its impact on Nokia’s financial position and performance.
Nokia Shanghai Bell
In 2017, Nokia and China Huaxin Post & Telecommunication Economy Development Center (China Huaxin) commenced operations of the joint venture Nokia
Shanghai Bell (NSB). The contractual arrangement provided China Huaxin with the right to fully transfer its ownership interest in NSB to Nokia and Nokia with
the right to purchase China Huaxin’s ownership interest in NSB in exchange for a future cash settlement. To reflect this, Nokia derecognized the non-controlling interest balance related to NSB and recognized a financial liability based on the estimated future cash settlement to acquire China Huaxin’s
ownership interest. Any changes in the estimated future cash settlement are recorded in financial income and expense.
In 2024, Nokia and China Huaxin together reviewed the future ownership structure of NSB. Following those discussions, in the fourth quarter of 2024, Nokia
exercised its call option, outlined in NSB’s shareholders' agreement, to initiate the process to become the sole shareholder by purchasing China Huaxin's
approximately 50% share in NSB. This will allow Nokia to simplify its ownership structure in China while Nokia remains committed to continue serving the local
market. The execution of the call option is subject to completing required steps under NSB's shareholders' agreement.
Comparable measures
Nokia presents in these condensed consolidated financial statements financial information on both a reported and comparable basis. Comparable measures
exclude intangible asset amortization and other purchase price fair value adjustments, goodwill impairments, restructuring related charges and certain other
items affecting comparability. In order to allow full visibility on determining comparable results, information on items affecting comparability is presented
separately for each of the components of profit or loss.
As comparable financial measures are not defined in IFRS they may not be directly comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies,
including those in the same industry. The primary rationale for presenting these measures is that the management uses these measures in assessing the
financial performance of Nokia and believes that these measures provide meaningful supplemental information on the underlying business performance of
Nokia. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with IFRS.
For further details on alternative performance measures used by Nokia and reconciliations to the closest IFRS-defined measures, refer to the Alternative
performance measures section accompanying this consolidated financial statement information.

| Foreign exchange rates
Nokia’s net sales are derived from various countries and invoiced in various currencies. Therefore, our business and results from operations are exposed to
changes in foreign exchange rates between the euro, our reporting currency, and other currencies, such as the US dollar, the Indian rupee and the Chinese
yuan. To mitigate the impact of changes in exchange rates on our results, we hedge operative forecasted net foreign exchange exposures, typically within a
12-month horizon, and apply hedge accounting in the majority of cases.
The below table shows the exposure of Nokia's continuing and discontinued operations to different currencies for net sales and total costs.

New and amended standards and interpretations
New standards and amendments to existing standards that became effective on 1 January 2025, did not have a material impact on Nokia's consolidated
financial statements. New standards and amendments to existing standards issued by the IASB that are not yet effective are not expected to have a
material impact on Nokia's consolidated financial statements when adopted, except for IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements which
was published in April 2024.
IFRS 18 sets out the requirements for presentation and disclosures in financial statements and it will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The
new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with earlier application permitted. IFRS 18 is yet to be endorsed
by the EU. Nokia is assessing the impact of IFRS 18 on its consolidated financial statements but as it’s not changing the recognition and measurement
requirements it is not expected to have significant impact other than on the presentation of financial information.
2. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Nokia has four operating and reportable segments for the financial reporting purposes: (1) Network Infrastructure, (2) Mobile Networks, (3) Cloud and Network
Services and (4) Nokia Technologies. Nokia also presents segment-level information for Group Common and Other. In addition, Nokia provides net sales
disclosure for the following business divisions within the Network Infrastructure segment: (i) IP Networks, (ii) Optical Networks and (iii) Fixed Networks. For
detailed segment descriptions, please refer to Note 2.2. Segment Information, in the annual consolidated financial statements for 2024.
Effective 1 January 2025, Nokia moved its Managed Services business into its Mobile Networks segment. The Managed Services business provides outsourced
network management of multi-vendor RAN networks for operators and, since 2021, has been part of Cloud and Network Services segment. As the Cloud and
Network Services segment is increasingly transitioning towards cloud-native software sales, 'as-a-service' product offerings and helping customers to
monetize networks through API's, Nokia believes that Managed Services is more aligned and fits better with its Mobile Networks segment. Comparative
financial information for Mobile Networks and Cloud and Networks Services segments has been recast accordingly.
On 28 February 2025, Nokia completed the acquisition of Infinera Corporation (Infinera), a San Jose based global supplier of innovative open optical
networking solutions and advanced optical semiconductors. Nokia will report the acquired business as part of its Optical Networks business unit Network
Infrastructure segment effective as of the closing. Refer to Note 3. Acquisition for more information.
Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those for the group, except that items affecting comparability are not allocated to the segments. For
more information on comparable measures and items affecting comparability, refer to Note 1. General information, and to the Alternative Performance
Measures section accompanying this consolidated financial statement information. Inter-segment revenues and transfers are accounted for as if the
revenues were to third parties, that is, at current market prices.

3. ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of Infinera
On 28 February 2025, Nokia completed the acquisition of Infinera Corporation (Infinera), pursuant to the definitive agreement announced on 27 June 2024.
Infinera, the San Jose based global supplier of innovative open optical networking solutions and advanced optical semiconductors, has become part of the
Nokia group effective as of the closing with Nokia holding 100% of its equity and voting rights. The acquisition is expected to significantly improve Nokia’s
scale and profitability in optical networks, and accelerate Nokia’s growth strategy in data centers and strengthen its presence both in North America and with
hyperscalers. Nokia is reporting the acquired business as part of its Network Infrastructure segment.
Purchase consideration
The purchase consideration transferred to the Infinera shareholders comprised cash and 127 434 986 Nokia shares in the form of American Depository
Shares (ADSs). The fair value of Nokia shares issued was determined with reference to the closing price of Nokia ADSs in the New York Stock Exchange on 28
February 2025. The total purchase consideration also includes the fair value of the portion of Infinera’s performance and restricted shares attributable to
pre-combination services that were replaced with Nokia’s share-based payment awards, as well as the fair value of Infinera's convertible senior notes as
described below.
The acquisition resulted in a conversion event and a “make whole fundamental change” for Infinera’s convertible senior notes in accordance with relevant
bond indentures. The fair value of convertible notes is considered as part of the purchase consideration, and it is determined with regards to the pricing
mechanism of the “make whole fundamental change” in accordance with the bond terms. The pricing formula includes a component that is dependent on
the performance of Nokia ADSs 40 trading days after conversion notice from each individual bondholder. The fair value of convertible notes included in the
purchase consideration was determined based on the closing price of Nokia ADSs in the New York Stock Exchange at the date of acquisition.
Conversion elections expired on 19 March 2025 with all bondholders surrendering their notes. Any changes in the fair value of convertible notes between the
acquisition date and the subsequent settlement date is recognized as a gain or loss in the financial income and expenses in the consolidated income
statement. In the first quarter of 2025, Nokia recognized EUR 29 million loss from the change in the fair value of the convertible notes between the
acquisition date and the reporting date. The surrendered notes are expected to be settled in cash in May 2025.

additional analyses are conducted and further information becomes available.
Provisional goodwill arising from the acquisition of Infinera amounts to EUR 872 million and is primarily attributable to the acquired workforce, as well as
anticipated synergies and economies of scale. Goodwill is allocated in its entirety to the Network Infrastructure segment and is expected not to be deductible
for income tax purposes.

Acquisition-related costs amounted to EUR 40 million of which EUR 20 million is recorded in 2025. Acquisition-related costs are presented in selling, general
and administrative expenses in the consolidated income statement, and in operating cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
From 28 February to 31 March 2025 the acquired business contributed net sales of EUR 143 million and an operating loss of EUR 31 million to the
consolidated income statement. Nokia group net sales and operating loss in the first three months of 2025 would have been EUR 4 593 million and EUR 146
million, respectively, had the acquisition been completed on 1 January 2025. The information regarding the combined entity’s net sales and operating loss as
of the beginning of 2025 is for illustrative purposes only, and is calculated by using the subsidiary’s results for January-February 2025 and adjusting them for
the impacts of accounting policy alignment and release of purchase price allocation adjustments.
4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On 31 December 2024, Nokia completed the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN) to the French State. Nokia retained a 20%
shareholding in ASN with board representation to ensure a smooth transition until targeted exit, at which point it is planned for the French State to acquire
Nokia’s remaining interest. Nokia accounts for its remaining interest in ASN as an investment in an associated company. The Submarine Networks business,
which was previously reported as part of Network Infrastructure operating segment, is presented as a discontinued operation.

5. NET SALES
Management has determined that Nokia’s geographic areas are considered as the primary determinants to depict how the nature, amount, timing and
uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Nokia’s primary customer base consists of companies that operate on a country-specific or a regional basis. Although Nokia’s technology cycle is similar around the world, different countries and regions are inherently in a different stage of
that cycle, often influenced by macroeconomic conditions specific to those countries and regions. In addition to net sales to external customers by region,
the chief operating decision maker reviews segment net sales by aggregated regions and net sales by customer type disclosed below.
Each reportable segment, as described in Note 2. Segment information, consists of customers that operate in all geographic areas. No reportable segment
has a specific revenue concentration in any geographic area other than Nokia Technologies, which is included within Europe.

| 6. PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Nokia operates several post-employment plans in various countries including both defined contribution and defined benefit plans. Defined benefit plans
include pension plans and other post-employment benefit plans, providing retirement healthcare benefits and life insurance coverage. Nokia remeasured
94% of its defined benefit obligations and 97% of the plan assets at 31 March 2025. Nokia's pension and other post-employment plans in the United
States have been remeasured using updated valuations from an external actuary, and the main pension plans outside of the United States have been
remeasured based on updated asset valuations and changes in the discount rates during the reporting period. The impact of not remeasuring other pension
and post-employment obligations is considered not material. At 31 March 2025, the weighted average discount rates used in remeasurement of the most
significant plans were as follows (comparatives at 31 December 2024): US Pension 5.1% (5.3%), US OPEB 5.1% (5.3%), Germany 3.7% (3.4%) and UK 5.9%
(5.6%).
The funded status of Nokia’s defined benefit plans (before the effect of the asset ceiling) increased from 131%, or EUR 4 934 million, at 31 December 2024 to
132% or EUR 4 898 million, at 31 March 2025. During the quarter the global defined benefit plan asset portfolio was invested approximately 72% in fixed
income, 5% in equities and 23% in other asset classes, mainly private equity and real estate.

7. DEFERRED TAXES
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax
credits and deductible temporary differences can be utilized in the relevant jurisdictions. At 31 March 2025, Nokia has recognized deferred tax assets of EUR
3.6 billion (EUR 3.6 billion at 31 December 2024).
In addition, at 31 March 2025, Nokia has unrecognized deferred tax assets of approximately EUR 6 billion (EUR 5 billion at 31 December 2024), the majority of
which relate to France (approximately EUR 4 billion). These deferred tax assets have not been recognized due to uncertainty regarding their utilization. A
significant portion of the French unrecognized deferred tax assets are indefinite in nature and available against future French tax liabilities, subject to a
limitation of 50% of annual taxable profits.
Nokia continually evaluates the probability of utilizing its deferred tax assets and considers both positive and negative evidence in its assessment.

| 8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on the availability of observable inputs used to measure their fair value. Three
hierarchical levels are based on an increasing amount of judgment associated with the inputs used to derive fair valuation for these assets and liabilities,
Level 1 being market values for exchange traded products, Level 2 being primarily based on publicly available market information and Level 3 requiring most
management judgment. At the end of each reporting period, Nokia categorizes its financial assets and liabilities to the appropriate level of fair value
hierarchy. Items for continuing operations carried at fair value in the following table are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. For more information
about the valuation methods and principles, refer to Note 5.2. Financial assets and liabilities, and Note 5.3. Derivative and firm commitment assets and
liabilities in the annual consolidated financial statements for 2024.

(1) No financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are categorized in fair value hierarchy level 1 or level 3.
Lease liabilities are not included in the fair value of financial instruments.
Level 3 Financial assets include a large number of investments in unlisted equities and unlisted venture funds, including investments managed by NGP Capital
specializing in growth-stage investing. The fair value of level 3 investments is determined using one or more valuation techniques with unobservable inputs,
where the use of the market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach generally consists
of calculating the net present value of expected future cash flows.
Level 3 Financial liabilities consist primarily of a conditional obligation to China Huaxin related to Nokia Shanghai Bell.

(1) On 28 February 2025, Nokia completed the acquisition of Infinera Corporation. Due to the acquisition, the bondholders may elect to surrender their holdings according to the
“make-whole” terms and conditions which determine the conversion rates reflected in the fair value of the notes. All bondholders have elected to surrender their holdings,
and the cash settlements are expected to take place in May 2025.
(2) The bond has a one-time redemption premium at maturity of EUR 4 million in case Nokia does not meet its commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (in
tCO2 e) across its value chain (Scope 1, 2, and 3) by 50% between 2019 and 2030. This target is one of Nokia’s key sustainability targets and has been selected to be the
Sustainability Performance Target in Nokia’s Sustainable Finance Framework that enables the issuance of sustainability-linked financing instruments.
(3) In October 2024, Nokia signed a loan facility agreement of EUR 250 million with the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) for financing research and development of 5G and 6G
technology. As of 31 March 2025, EUR 100 million has been drawn from the facility and is repayable in two equal installments in 2031 and 2032. The availability period of the
remaining loan facility of EUR 150 million ends in April 2025.
Nokia has committed Revolving Credit Facilities with nominal value of EUR 1412 million maturing in June 2026 and nominal value of EUR 500 million maturing
in March 2027. For information about Nokia's uncommitted funding programs, refer to Note 5.4. Financial risk management in the annual consolidated
financial statements for 2024. All borrowings and credit facilities are senior unsecured and have no financial covenants.

| Alternative performance measures
Certain financial measures presented in this interim report are not measures of financial performance, financial position or cash flows defined in IFRS, and
therefore may not be directly comparable with financial measures used by other companies, including those in the same industry. The primary rationale for
presenting these measures is that the management uses these measures in assessing the financial performance of Nokia and believes that these measures
provide meaningful supplemental information on the underlying business performance. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation from,
or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with IFRS.
This section provides summarized information on the performance measures included in this interim report as well as reconciliations of the performance
measures to the amounts presented in the financial statements.
In the first quarter of 2025 Nokia introduced a new performance measure – constant currency and portfolio net sales growth – to complement information it
provides on changes in its net sales on a reported and constant currency basis. This new measure provides information on net sales growth on a constant
currency and portfolio basis i.e. after adjusting reported net sales for the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates, as well as for the impact of certain
acquisitions and divestitures.
Performance measure Definition Purpose
Comparable measures Comparable measures exclude intangible asset amortization and other
purchase price fair value adjustments, goodwill impairments, restructuring
related charges, transaction and related costs, including integration costs, and
certain other items affecting comparability. Reconciliation of reported and
comparable consolidated statement of income is presented below.
We believe that our comparable results provide meaningful supplemental
information to both management and investors regarding Nokia’s underlying
business performance by excluding certain items of income and expenses
that may not be indicative of Nokia’s business operating results. Comparable
operating profit is used also in determining management remuneration.
Constant currency net
sales growth / Net sales
growth adjusted for
currency fluctuations
When net sales growth is reported on a constant currency basis / adjusted for
currency fluctuations, the exchange rates used to translate amounts in local
currencies to euro, our reporting currency, are the average actual periodic
exchange rates for the comparative financial period. Therefore, the constant
currency net sales growth / net sales growth adjusted for currency
fluctuations exclude the effects of changes in exchange rates during the
current period compared to euro.
We provide additional information on net sales growth on a constant currency
basis / adjusted for currency fluctuations in order to better reflect the
underlying business performance.
Constant currency and
portfolio net sales
growth
When net sales growth is reported on a constant currency and portfolio basis,
net sales in local currencies are translated to euro using the average exchange
rates for the comparative financial period. Additionally, certain specific
acquisitions or disposals are treated as if they had occurred at the beginning
of the comparative financial period. As a result, constant currency and
portfolio net sales growth excludes the effects of changes in exchange rates
during the current period and is adjusted for the impact of portfolio changes
by including net sales from certain specific acquisitions and excluding net
sales from certain specific divestitures from the beginning of the comparative
period.
We provide additional information on net sales growth on a constant currency
and portfolio basis in order to better reflect the underlying business
performance when reported net sales have changed not only due to changes
in foreign exchange rates but also as a result of acquisitions or disposals.
Total cash and interest-bearing financial
investments ("Total
cash")
Total cash and interest-bearing financial investments consist of cash and cash
equivalents and current interest-bearing financial investments and non-current interest-bearing financial investments.
Total cash and interest-bearing financial investments is used to indicate funds
available to Nokia to run its current and invest in future business activities as
well as provide return for security holders.
Net cash and interest-bearing financial
investments ("Net cash")
Net cash and interest-bearing financial investments equals total cash and
interest-bearing financial investments less long-term and short-term
interest-bearing liabilities. Lease liabilities are not included in interest-bearing
liabilities. Reconciliation of net cash and interest-bearing financial investments
to the amounts in the consolidated statement of financial position is
presented below.
Net cash and interest-bearing financial investments is used to indicate Nokia's
liquidity position after cash required to settle the interest-bearing liabilities.
Free cash flow Net cash flows from operating activities – purchases of property, plant and
equipment and intangible assets (capital expenditures).
Free cash flow is the cash that Nokia generates after investments in property,
plant and equipment and intangible assets, and we believe it provides
meaningful supplemental information as it represents the cash available to
service and repay interest-bearing financial liabilities, including lease liabilities,
make investments to grow business and distribute funds to shareholders. It is
a measure of cash generation, working capital efficiency and capital discipline
of the business.
Adjusted free cash flow Cash flows from operations – purchases of property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets (capital expenditures).
Adjusted free cash flow is an additional measure of cash generation, working
capital efficiency and capital discipline used by management and investors to
evaluate cash generation capacity of each of the business groups individually.
Adjusted free cash flow is intended as a measure of business group
performance and is calculated as the free cash flow but excluding interest
received, interest paid, and income taxes paid, items that are related to the
group structure and which cannot be allocated to the business groups in a
meaningful way. This measure is not intended to be used to analyze the
overall group performance.
Capital expenditure Purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (excluding
assets acquired under business combinations).
We use capital expenditure to describe investments in profit generating
activities in the future.
Recurring/One-time
measures
Recurring measures, such as recurring net sales, are based on revenues that
are likely to continue in the future. Recurring measures exclude e.g. the
impact of catch-up net sales relating to prior periods. One-time measures,
such as one-time net sales, reflect the revenues that are not likely to continue
in the future.
We use recurring/one-time measures to improve comparability between
financial periods.
Adjusted profit/(loss) Adjusted profit/(loss) equals the cash from operations before changes in net
working capital subtotal in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
We use adjusted profit/(loss) to provide a structured presentation when
describing the cash flows.
Restructuring and
associated charges,
liabilities and cash
outflows
Charges, liabilities and cash outflows related to activities that either meet the
strict definition of restructuring under IFRS or are closely associated with such
activities.
We use restructuring and associated charges, liabilities and cash outflows to
measure the progress of our integration and transformation activities.
