1On July 10, 2008, Nokia completed the acquisition of NAVTEQ Corporation. NAVTEQ is a separate reportable segment of Nokia starting from the third quarter 2008. Accordingly, the results of NAVTEQ are not available for the prior periods.
2Non-IFRS results exclude special items for all periods. In addition, non-IFRS results exclude intangible asset amortization, other purchase price accounting related items and inventory value adjustments arising from i) the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks and ii) all business acquisitions completed after June 30, 2008. More specific information about the exclusions from the non-IFRS results may be found in this press release on pages 3, 10 and 13-17.
Nokia believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokia's performance by excluding the above-described items that may not be indicative of Nokia's business operating results. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes to the equivalent IFRS measure(s), but should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measure(s) in the reported results. A reconciliation of the non-IFRS results to our reported results for Q2 2009 and Q2 2008 can be found in the tables on pages 10 and 13-17 of this press release. A reconciliation of our Q1 2009 non-IFRS results can be found on pages 12-16 of our Q1 2009 Interim Report of April 16, 2009.
3Nokia reported net sales were EUR 19 186 million and earnings per share (diluted) were EUR 0.13 for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2009. Further information about the results for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2009 can be found in this press release on pages 9, 11, and 18-23.
"Nokia put in a solid performance in what was another tough quarter. We increased our share of the global mobile device market sequentially to an estimated 38% and grew our smartphone market share to an estimated 41%. As a result of strong operational execution, underlying operating margins improved sequentially in all segments. Competition remains intense, but demand in the overall mobile device market appears to be bottoming out. As before, we are continuing to tightly manage our operating expenses.
We are balancing short-term priorities with our longer-term growth ambitions as elements of the mobile handset, PC, internet and media industries converge to form a new industry. Consumers will increasingly expect devices and services designed as integrated solutions. To capture this opportunity we are accelerating our strategic transformation into a solutions company."

Nokia's second quarter 2009 net sales decreased 25% to EUR 9.9 billion, compared with EUR 13.2 billion in the second quarter 2008. At constant currency, Group net sales would have decreased 24% year on year and increased 7% sequentially.
The following chart sets out the year on year and sequential growth rates in our net sales on a reported basis and at constant currency for the periods indicated.
| Q2/2009 vs. Q2/2008 Change | Q2/2009 vs. Q1/2009 Change | |
|---|---|---|
| Group net sales - reported | -25% | 7% |

Nokia's second quarter 2009 reported operating profit decreased 71% to EUR 427 million, compared with EUR 1.5 billion in the second quarter 2008. Nokia's second quarter 2009 non-IFRS operating profit decreased 62% to EUR 775 million, compared with EUR 2.1 billion in the second quarter 2008. Nokia's second quarter 2009 reported operating margin was 4.3% (11.2%). Nokia's second quarter 2009 non-IFRS operating margin was 7.8% (15.6%).
Operating cash flow for the second quarter 2009 was EUR 716 million. Operating cash flow for the second quarter 2008 was EUR 1.5 billion. Total cash and other liquid assets were EUR 7.0 billion at June 30, 2009, compared with EUR 8.0 billion at June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2009, Nokia's net debt-equity ratio (gearing) was -10%, compared with -47% at June 30, 2008.
Devices & Services
In the second quarter 2009, the total mobile device volumes of our Devices & Services group were 103.2 million units, representing a decline of 15% year on year and an 11% increase sequentially. The overall industry mobile device volumes for the same period were 268 million units based on Nokia's preliminary estimate, representing a 12% year on year decrease and a 5% sequential increase. The lower device volumes year on year for Nokia and the industry continued to be driven by the negative impact of the deteriorated global economic conditions, including weaker consumer and corporate spending, constrained credit availability and currency market volatility. The sequential industry device volume increase primarily reflected seasonality in the second quarter. Nokia volumes also benefited sequentially from a more stable inventory situation in the operator and distributor channels. Nokia's mobile device market share was an estimated 38% in the second quarter 2009, down from 40% in the second quarter 2008 and up from 37% in the first quarter 2009.
Of the total industry mobile device volumes, converged mobile device industry volumes in the second quarter 2009 increased to 41.0 million units, based on Nokia's preliminary estimate, compared with an estimated 37.1 million units in the second quarter 2008, and 36.0 million units in the first quarter 2009. Our own converged mobile device volumes were 16.9 million units in the second quarter 2009, compared with 15.3 million units in the second quarter 2008 and 13.7 million units in the first quarter 2009. Nokia's share of the converged device market was an estimated 41% in the second quarter 2009, unchanged from 41% in the second quarter 2008 and up from 39% in the first quarter 2009. We shipped 4.6 million Nokia Nseries and 4.7 million Nokia Eseries devices during the second quarter 2009, up from the combined 8.2 million Nseries and Eseries devices we shipped in the first quarter 2009.
The following chart sets out our mobile device volumes for the periods indicated, as well as the year on year and sequential growth rates, by geographic area.
| (million units) | Q2/2009 | Q2/2008 | YoY Change |
Q1/2009 | QoQ Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Europe | 23.3 | 27.1 | -14.0% | 22.3 | 4.5% |
| Middle East & Africa | 18.9 | 21.1 | -10.4% | 14.8 | 27.7% |
| Greater China | 18.6 | 17.6 | 5.7% | 17.9 | 3.9% |
| Asia-Pacific | 30.3 | 36.4 | -16.8% | 28.2 | 7.4% |
| North America | 3.2 | 4.5 | -28.9% | 3.4 | -5.9% |
| Latin America | 8.9 | 15.3 | -41.8% | 6.6 | 34.8% |
| Total | 103.2 | 122.0 | -15.4% | 93.2 | 10.7% |
Based on our preliminary market estimate, Nokia's mobile device market share for the second quarter 2009 was 38%, compared with 40% in the second quarter 2008 and 37% in the first quarter 2009. Our year on year market share decline was driven primarily by lower market share in Latin America, Asia-Pacific and North America. This was partially offset by a slightly higher market share in Greater China, Europe and Middle East & Africa. Sequentially, our market share declined in North America, but this decline was more than offset by our increased market share in Middle East & Africa, Greater China, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
Our mobile device average selling price (ASP) in the second quarter 2009 was EUR 62, down from EUR 74 in the second quarter 2008 and EUR 65 in the first quarter 2009. Both the year on year and sequential ASP declines were primarily due to general price pressure and a higher proportion of sales of lower priced products. Our second quarter 2009 ASP benefited from sales of new high-end products, compared to the first quarter 2009.
Second quarter 2009 Devices & Services net sales declined 28% to EUR 6.6 billion, compared with EUR 9.1 billion in the second quarter 2008. Devices & Services net sales were down year on year in all geographic areas. At constant currency, Devices & Services net sales would have decreased 28%. The net sales decline resulted primarily from lower volumes, combined with the ASP decline, compared with the second quarter 2008. Of our total Devices & Services net sales, services contributed EUR 140 million in the second quarter 2009, representing 18% year on year growth and a 7% sequential decrease. Nokia completed the divestment of its security appliances business in April 2009 and accordingly services net sales for periods from April 1, 2009 are not directly comparable to services net sales of any prior periods.
Devices & Services reported gross profit and non-IFRS gross profit decreased 32% to EUR 2.2 billion, compared with EUR 3.3 billion in the second quarter 2008, with a reported and non-IFRS gross margin of 34.0% (36.1%). The year on year gross margin decrease was primarily due to a higher proportion of sales of lower end, lower margin devices and a lower proportion of sales of new high-end, higher margin devices, as well as general price pressure.
Devices & Services reported operating profit decreased 51% to EUR 763 million, compared with EUR 1.6 billion in the second quarter 2008, with a reported operating margin of 11.6% (17.2%). Devices & Services non-IFRS operating profit decreased 56% to EUR 802 million, compared with EUR 1.8 billion in the second quarter 2008, with a non-IFRS operating margin of 12.2% (20.1%). The 56% year on year decrease in non-IFRS operating profit for the second quarter 2009 was due primarily to lower net sales compared with the second quarter 2008. The impact of lower net sales was somewhat mitigated by a reduction in our cost of sales and operating expenses during the second quarter 2009.
NAVTEQ
(Comparisons are given to the first quarter 2009)
Second quarter 2009 NAVTEQ net sales increased 11% sequentially to EUR 147 million, compared with EUR 132 million in the first quarter 2009, reflecting a slight pick-up in demand for auto navigation systems. NAVTEQ reported gross profit was EUR 126 million (EUR 116 million), with a gross margin of 85.7% (87.5%).
Non-IFRS gross profit was EUR 127 million (EUR 117 million), with a non-IFRS gross margin of 85.8% (87.3%). NAVTEQ had a reported operating loss of EUR 100 million (EUR 120 million loss). The reported operating margin was -68.0% (-90.9%). NAVTEQ non-IFRS operating profit was EUR 19 million (EUR 5 million), with a non-IFRS operating margin of 12.8% (3.7%).
Nokia Siemens Networks
Second quarter 2009 net sales decreased 21% to EUR 3.2 billion, compared with EUR 4.1 billion in the second quarter 2008, reflecting challenging market conditions and competitive factors. At constant currency, Nokia Siemens Networks net sales would have decreased 20%.
The following chart sets out Nokia Siemens Networks net sales for the periods indicated, as well as the year on year and sequential growth rates, by geographic area.
| EUR million | Q2/2009 | Q2/2008 | YoY Change |

| Total | 3 199 | 4 067 | -21.3% | 2 990 | 7.0% |
Nokia Siemens Networks reported gross profit decreased 25% to EUR 860 million, compared with EUR 1.1 billion in the second quarter 2008, with a gross margin of 26.9% (28.2%). Nokia Siemens Networks non-IFRS gross profit decreased 30% to EUR 897 million, compared with EUR 1.3 billion in the second quarter 2008, with a non-IFRS gross margin of 28.0% (31.5%). The lower year on year non-IFRS gross profit in the second quarter 2009 was due primarily to lower year on year net sales.
Nokia Siemens Networks had a second quarter 2009 reported operating loss of EUR 188 million compared with an operating loss of EUR 47 million in the second quarter 2008, with an operating margin of -5.9% (-1.2%). Nokia Siemens Networks non-IFRS operating profit was EUR 2 million in the second quarter 2009, compared with a non-IFRS operating profit of EUR 274 million in the second quarter 2008, with a non-IFRS operating margin of 0.1% (6.7%). The year on year decline in Nokia Siemens Networks non-IFRS operating profit primarily reflected lower net sales.
