This is a summary of the Nokia Corporation financial report for Q4 and full year 2021 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 Q4 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 report with tables.

PEKKA LUNDMARK, PRESIDENT AND CEO, ON Q4 AND FULL YEAR 2021 RESULTS

2021 was a strong year for Nokia driven by our growing technology leadership, robust demand and a faster than expected reset of our business. This enabled us to deliver 3% constant currency net sales growth and a comparable operating margin of 12.5%. Thanks to a solid Q4 capping off a strong 2021, we have created an excellent foundation as we begin to move into the next phase of our strategy to deliver growth and expand profitability.

All our business groups made significant progress this year to make us more competitive in all the markets in which we compete. Mobile Networks largely closed the gap to competition in 5G and improved its gross margin while continuing to step up R&D investments. Network Infrastructure extended its technology leadership with significant growth driven by Fixed Networks and Submarine Networks. Cloud and Network Services continued to rebalance its portfolio and saw encouraging growth in its key focus areas. Nokia Technologies made good progress expanding in areas such as automotive and consumer electronics.

Stock exchange release	2 (7)
3 February 2022

The progress we have made with cash generation in the business has strengthened our balance sheet to the point we can look to reinstate shareholder distributions through both a dividend and share buyback program.

Nokia enters 2022 in a strong position with improved margins, faster than expected strategy execution and a high order backlog, although the global supply chain situation remains tight. We see opportunities in the 5G roll out and growing enterprise market. Accordingly, we expect 2022 to bring another year of sales growth and we are targeting a comparable operating margin of 11-13.5% in 2022.

Considering how quickly we have executed on our strategy, we are now introducing new long-term targets. We still expect to deliver progress in 2023 but we want to emphasize that is not the end of our ambition. Our long-term target is to grow faster than the market and to achieve a comparable operating margin of at least 14%. The pace of delivery will depend on both the market environment and decisions we may make on R&D investments to secure our long-term competitiveness and sustainable profitability.

Finally, I want to thank our employees whose excellence, resilience and adaptability have been critical in delivering this performance in 2021. We recognise how valuable each person is to Nokia’s performance and we will increase investment in our people through our renewed people strategy.

SHAREHOLDER DISTRIBUTION

Dividend policy and 2021 proposal

In line with Nokia’s dividend policy as stated below, Nokia’s Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorizes the Board to resolve on a dividend of EUR 0.08 per share be paid to investors in respect of financial year 2021. If the resolution is approved the dividend would be paid in quarterly installments starting after the AGM.

Our dividend policy is to target recurring, stable and over time growing ordinary dividend payments, taking into account the previous year’s earnings as well as the company’s financial position and business outlook.

Share buyback program

In 2020 and 2021, Nokia has generated strong cash flow which has significantly improved the cash position of the company. To manage the company’s capital structure, Nokia’s Board of Directors is initiating a share buyback program under the current authorization from the AGM to repurchase shares, with purchases expected to begin in Q1. The program targets to return up to EUR 600m of cash to shareholders in tranches over a period of two years, subject to continued authorization from the AGM.

OUTLOOK

OUTLOOK ASSUMPTIONS

The outlook, the long-term targets (3-5 years) and all of the underlying outlook assumptions described below are subject to risk factors as described in the Risk Factors section later in this release. All of the below outlook assumptions are new as they now refer to 2022 and over the longer-term.

·	Nokia’s outlook assumptions for the comparable operating margin of<br>each business group in 2022 are provided below:
	Full year 2022
---	---
Mobile Networks	6.5 to 9.5%
Network Infrastructure	9.5 to 12.5%
Cloud and Network Services	4.0 to 7.0%
Nokia Technologies	>75%
·	We expect Nokia Technologies to deliver a largely stable operating profit<br>performance in 2022 and over the longer-term;
---	---
·	We expect the net negative impact of Group Common and Other to be EUR 250<br>million in 2022 and over the longer-term;
---	---
·	In full year 2022, Nokia expects the free cash flow performance of Nokia<br>Technologies to be approximately EUR 450 million lower than its operating profit, primarily due to prepayments we received from certain<br>licensees in previous years;
---	---
·	Comparable financial income and expenses are expected to be an expense of<br>approximately EUR 150-200 million in full year 2022 and over the longer-term;
---	---
·	Comparable income tax expenses are expected to be approximately EUR 450 million<br>in full year 2022 and over the longer-term;
---	---
·	Cash outflows related to income taxes are expected to be approximately EUR<br>400 million in full year 2022 and over the longer-term;
---	---
·	Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately EUR 650 million in<br>full year 2022 and around EUR 600 million over the longer-term; and
---	---
·	Rule of thumb related to currency fluctuations: Assuming our current<br>mix of net sales and total costs (refer to Note 1, Basis of Preparation, in the Financial statement information section included in Nokia<br>Corporation Financial Report for Q4 and full year 2021 for details), we expect that a 10% increase in the EUR/USD exchange rate would<br>have an impact of approximately negative 4 to 5% on net sales and an approximately neutral impact on operating profit.
---	---

LONG-TERM TARGETS

With Nokia’s new 2022 guidance for comparable operating margin exceeding the prior 2023 outlook for comparable operating margin and to better reflect long-term ambitions, Nokia has replaced its prior 2023 outlook with long-term targets (3-5 years) for the business, as laid out below. These new targets are intended to show Nokia’s plan to deliver continuous improvement over time in the business.

Stock exchange release	5 (7)

Net sales	Grow faster than the market

Comparable operating margin	≥14%
Free cash flow	55-85% conversion from comparable operating profit

All of the below<br>outlook assumptions are new as they now refer to 2022 and over the<br>longer-term.<br>.. Nokia’s outlook assumptions for the comparable operating margin of<br>each business group in 2022 are provided below:<br> Full year 2022<br>Mobile Networks 6.5 to 9.5%<br>Network Infrastructure 9.5 to 12.5%<br>Cloud and Network Services 4.0 to 7.0%<br>Nokia Technologies >75%<br>.. We expect Nokia Technologies to deliver a largely stable operating<br>profit performance in 2022 and over the longer-term;<br>.. We expect the net negative impact of Group Common and Other to<br>be EUR 250 million in 2022 and over the longer-term;<br>.. In full year 2022, Nokia expects the free cash flow performance of<br>Nokia Technologies to be approximately EUR 450 million lower than<br>its operating profit, primarily due to prepayments we received from<br>certain licensees in previous years;<br>.. Comparable financial income and expenses are expected to be an<br>expense of approximately EUR 150-200 million in full year 2022 and<br>over the longer-term;<br>.. Comparable income tax expenses are expected to be approximately<br>EUR 450 million in full year 2022 and over the longer-term;<br>.. Cash outflows related to income taxes are expected to be<br>approximately EUR 400 million in full year 2022 and over the longer-<br>term;<br>.. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately EUR 650<br>million in full year 2022 and around EUR 600 million over the longer-<br>term; and<br>.. Rule of thumb related to currency fluctuations: Assuming our current<br>mix of net sales and total costs (refer to Note 1, Basis of Preparation,<br>in the Financial statement information section for details), we expect<br>that a 10% increase in the EUR/USD exchange rate would have an<br>impact of approximately negative 4 to 5% on net sales and an<br>approximately neutral impact on operating profit.<br><br><br>Long-term targets<br>With Nokia’s new 2022 guidance for comparable operating margin exceeding the prior 2023 outlook for comparable operating margin and to better<br>reflect long-term ambitions, Nokia has replaced its prior 2023 outlook with long-term targets (3-5 years) for the business, as laid out below. These<br>new targets are intended to show Nokia’s plan to deliver continuous improvement over time in the business.<br>Net sales Grow faster than the market<br>Comparable operating margin ≥14%<br>Free cash flow 55-85% conversion from comparable operating profit

3 February 2022 6<br>Financial results<br>Q4 2021 compared to Q4 2020<br>Net sales<br>In Q4 2021, reported net sales decreased 2%, primarily driven by<br>Mobile Networks, which declined 13%, largely offset by Network<br>Infrastructure, which increased 14%.<br>On a constant currency basis, Nokia net sales decreased 5%,<br>reflecting less pronounced seasonality and supply chain constraints,<br>as expected. This was particularly evident in Mobile Networks, which<br>declined 16%, and was also impacted by earlier communicated<br>market share loss and price erosion in North America. Nokia<br>Technologies and Cloud and Network Services net sales also<br>declined. Despite facing some supply chain constraints, Network<br>Infrastructure continued to show strong growth in the quarter, with<br>net sales increasing by 10%.<br>From a regional perspective, North America, Asia Pacific, Greater<br>China and India declined, on a constant currency basis. This was<br>partly offset by increases in Europe, Middle East and Africa and<br>Latin America. Net sales in North America decreased 12% on a<br>constant currency basis, primarily due to Mobile Networks, partly<br>offset by growth in Network Infrastructure. The decline in Asia<br>Pacific was primarily driven by Mobile Networks.<br>From a customer perspective, net sales to Enterprise customers<br>decreased 1% on a reported basis and 4% on a constant currency<br>basis. In the quarter, we delivered very strong order intake growth<br>putting us in a strong position for 2022 but with limited help to our<br>2021 revenue growth which was also impacted by supply chain<br>constraints. We now have more than 420 customers for our private<br>wireless solutions. In Q4 2021, we added 88 new Enterprise<br>customers and our pipeline remains strong.<br><br>Gross margin<br>Reported gross margin in Q4 2021 was 39.5%, compared to 39.0%<br>in Q4 2020. Comparable gross margin was 40.1%, compared to<br>41.6% in Q4 2020. The decline in comparable gross margin was<br>driven by Mobile Networks and Network Infrastructure. The decline<br>in Mobile Networks comparable gross margin stems mainly from<br>lower sales coverage of fixed costs as a result of lower sales in<br>North America. The decrease in Network Infrastructure was primarily<br>driven by a higher proportion of net sales from Fixed Networks, as<br>well as higher indirect cost of sales.<br><br>Operating profit and margin<br>Reported operating profit was EUR 740 million, or 11.5% of net<br>sales, compared to EUR 441 million, or 6.7% of net sales in Q4 2020.<br>Comparable operating profit was EUR 908 million, or 14.2% of net<br>sales, compared to EUR 1,056 million, or 16.1% of net sales in Q4<br>2020. The lower comparable operating profit and operating margin<br>were primarily driven by lower gross profit and higher R&D<br>expenses, in both Mobile Networks and Network Infrastructure. This<br>was partially offset by a net positive fluctuation in other income and<br>expenses and lower SG&A expenses. The net positive fluctuation in<br>other income and expenses reflected the absence of loss<br>allowances on certain trade receivables that negatively impacted Q4<br>2020, partly offset by lower net benefits related to Nokia’s venture<br>fund investments in Q4 2021 compared to Q4 2020. In Q4 2021,<br>operating profit was negatively impacted by higher variable pay<br>accruals, compared to Q4 2020.<br>In Q4 2021, the net benefit related to Nokia’s venture fund<br>investments, which is recorded in Group Common and Other<br>results, was approximately EUR 60 million, compared to a net<br>benefit of approximately EUR 110 million in Q4 2020.<br>In Q4 2021, the difference between reported and comparable<br>operating profit was primarily related to the amortization of<br>acquired intangible assets, restructuring and associated charges<br>and the negative impact from a change in provisions related to past<br>acquisitions, partly offset by a gain on the sale of fixed assets. In Q4<br>2020, the difference between reported and comparable operating<br>profit was primarily related to restructuring and associated charges,<br>a charge related to the impairment of goodwill and the amortization<br>of acquired intangible assets.<br><br>Profit/loss for the period<br>Reported net profit was EUR 680 million, compared to a net loss of<br>EUR 2 696 million in Q4 2020. Comparable net profit was EUR 731<br>million, compared to EUR 784 million in Q4 2020. The decrease in<br>comparable net profit was primarily driven by the decline in<br>comparable operating profit and a net negative fluctuation in<br>financial income and expenses, partially offset by a decrease in<br>income tax expenses, reflecting lower profit before tax.<br>In Q4 2021, in addition to the items impacting comparability<br>included in operating profit (and their associated tax effects), the<br>difference between reported and comparable net profit was related<br>to a tax benefit related to past operating model integration and a<br>benefit related to a change in the recognition of deferred tax<br>assets, partly offset by loss allowances on customer financing loans.<br>Q4 2020 reported net profit included a EUR 2.9 billion derecognition<br>of Finnish deferred tax assets and loss allowances on customer<br>financing loans, partly offset by a change in financial liability to<br>acquire Nokia Shanghai-Bell non-controlling interest.<br><br>Earnings per share<br>Reported diluted EPS was EUR 0.12, compared to negative EUR 0.48<br>in Q4 2020. Comparable diluted EPS was EUR 0.13, compared to<br>EUR 0.14 in Q4 2020.<br><br>Comparable return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”)<br>Q4 2021 comparable ROIC was 20.1%, compared to 11.9% in Q4<br>2020. The increase was primarily driven by growth in operating<br>profit for rolling four quarters and lower average invested capital,<br>reflecting growth in average total cash and current financial<br>investments and a decrease in average total interest-bearing<br>liabilities.<br><br>Cash performance<br>During Q4 2021, net cash increased EUR 315 million, resulting in an<br>end-of-quarter net cash balance of approximately EUR 4.6 billion.<br>During Q4 2021, total cash decreased by EUR 113 million, resulting in<br>an end-of-quarter total cash balance of approximately EUR 9.3<br>billion, reflecting the early repayment of debt due in June 2022. The<br>cash performance in Q4 2021 reflected strong operating profit<br>partly offset by a decrease in cash related to net working capital. Q4<br>2021 was the seventh quarter in a row of positive free cash flow.

3 February 2022 7<br>Financial results<br>January-December 2021 compared to January-December 2020<br>Net sales<br>In full year 2021, reported net sales increased 2%, primarily driven<br>by Network Infrastructure and Nokia Technologies, partially offset<br>by Mobile Networks.<br>On a constant currency basis, Nokia net sales increased 3% in full<br>year 2021. Network Infrastructure saw growth across all four of its<br>businesses. Nokia Technologies net sales grew, driven by higher<br>patent licensing net sales related to both new and renewed patent<br>license agreements signed this year and in Q4 2020 and catch-up<br>net sales related to new patent license agreements, partially offset<br>by lower brand licensing net sales. Cloud and Network Services net<br>sales grew slightly, as growth in Core Networks and Enterprise<br>Solutions was almost entirely offset by a decline in Business<br>Applications and Cloud and Cognitive Services. Mobile Networks net<br>sales declined, primarily driven by the earlier communicated market<br>share loss and price erosion in North America. In full year 2021, net<br>sales were also impacted by supply constraints, particularly in Mobile<br>Networks and Network Infrastructure.<br>From a regional perspective, the increase in constant currency net<br>sales was driven by growth across most regions, with the exception<br>of Asia Pacific and Middle East and Africa which declined, as well<br>Greater China which was flat. Notably, net sales in North America<br>increased 2% on a reported basis and 4% on a constant currency<br>basis, primarily due to Network Infrastructure and Cloud and<br>Network Services, partially offset by Mobile Networks.<br>From a customer perspective, net sales to Enterprise customers<br>were flat on a reported basis and increased 1% on a constant<br>currency basis. In 2021, we added 315 new Enterprise customers,<br>and our pipeline remains strong. We also continued to have strong<br>momentum in private wireless, now with more than 420 customers.<br><br>Gross margin<br>Reported gross margin in full year 2021 was 39.8%, compared to<br>37.5% in full year 2020. Comparable gross margin was 40.4%,<br>compared to 38.9% in the year-ago period. The improvement in<br>comparable gross margin was primarily driven by Mobile Networks,<br>Cloud and Network Services and, to a lesser extent, Nokia<br>Technologies. The increase in Mobile Networks stems mainly from<br>progress in our cost competitiveness, 5G growth, favorable regional<br>mix and the impact of a one-time software deal that was completed<br>in Q2 2021. This was partly offset by the earlier communicated<br>impact from market share loss and price erosion in North America.<br>The increase in Cloud and Network Services was primarily driven by<br>the absence of a project-related loss provisions that negatively<br>impacted the year-ago period. The increase in Nokia Technologies<br>gross profit and gross margin reflected higher net sales.<br><br>Operating profit and margin<br>Reported operating profit in full year 2021 was EUR 2 158 million, or<br>9.7% of net sales, compared to EUR 885 million, or 4.0% of net<br>sales, in full year 2020. Comparable operating profit was EUR 2 775<br>million, or 12.5% of net sales, compared to EUR 2 081 million, or<br>9.5% of net sales in the year-ago period. The improvement in<br>comparable operating profit and operating margin was primarily<br>driven by higher gross profit, a net positive fluctuation in other<br>income and expenses, primarily related to increased net benefits<br>from Nokia’s venture fund investments, a net positive fluctuation in<br>the amount of loss allowances on trade receivables and foreign<br>exchange hedging, as well as lower SG&A expenses. This was<br>partially offset by higher R&D expenses in Mobile Networks and, to<br>a lesser extent, Network Infrastructure. In full year 2021, operating<br>profit was negatively impacted by higher variable pay accruals,<br>compared to full year 2020.<br>In full year 2021, the net benefit related to Nokia’s venture fund<br>investments, which is recorded in Group Common and Other<br>results, was approximately EUR 190 million, compared to a net<br>benefit of approximately EUR 50 million in the year-ago period.<br>Nokia benefited from approximately 150bps of one-offs in financial<br>year 2021 to its comparable operating margin related to venture<br>fund investments, a one-off software contract in Q2, reversals of<br>loss allowances on certain trade receivables and some other one-<br>time benefits.<br>In full year 2021, the difference between reported and comparable<br>operating profit was primarily related to the amortization of<br>acquired intangible assets, restructuring and associated charges,<br>the impairment and write-off of assets, net of reversals, the<br>negative impact from a change in provisions related to past<br>acquisitions and fair value losses on a legacy IPR fund, partly offset<br>by a gain related to the settlement of legal disputes and a gain on<br>the sale of fixed assets. In full year 2020, the difference between<br>reported and comparable operating profit was primarily related to<br>restructuring and associated charges, amortization of acquired<br>intangible assets and the impairment and write-off of assets, net of<br>reversals, partly offset by a gain on defined benefit plan<br>amendment.<br><br>Profit/loss for the period<br>Reported net profit was EUR 1 645 million, compared to a net loss<br>of EUR 2 516 million in full year 2020. Comparable net profit was<br>EUR 2 109 million, compared to EUR 1 437 million in the year-ago<br>period. The improvement in comparable net profit was primarily<br>driven by the increase in comparable operating profit, partially<br>offset by an increase in income tax expenses, reflecting higher<br>profit before tax.<br>In full year 2021, in addition to the items impacting comparability<br>included in operating profit (and their associated tax effects), the<br>difference between reported and comparable net profit/loss was<br>primarily related to a tax benefit related to past operating model<br>integration, a benefit related to a change in the recognition of<br>deferred tax assets and a deferred tax benefit due to tax rate<br>changes, partly offset by a change in financial liability to acquire<br>Nokia Shanghai-Bell non-controlling interest and a loss allowance on<br>customer financing loans. In 2020, reported net profit included a<br>EUR 2.9 billion derecognition of Finnish deferred tax assets, a loss<br>allowance on customer financing loans and a one-off deferred tax<br>expense related to legal entity restructuring, partly offset by a<br>change in financial liability to acquire Nokia Shanghai-Bell non-<br>controlling interest.<br><br>Earnings per share<br>Reported diluted EPS in full year 2021 was EUR 0.29, compared to<br>negative EUR 0.45 in full year 2020. Comparable diluted EPS was<br>EUR 0.37, compared to EUR 0.25 in the year-ago period.<br><br>Cash performance<br>At the end of 2021, Nokia had a net cash balance of EUR 4.6 billion<br>and a total cash balance of EUR 9.3 billion. In 2021, our free cash<br>flow was EUR 2.4 billion, reflective of our strong operating profit and<br>net working capital management. On a full year basis, we reduced<br>the balance sheet impact related to the sale of accounts<br>receivables, which had a negative impact on our cash performance.

Connectivity and technology play a critical role in helping to solve many of<br>the world’s greatest challenges. Our sustainability strategy is focused on the areas we believe will have the greatest impact on sustainable<br>development and our profitability: climate, integrity and culture.<br><br><br>Climate<br>In Q4, Nokia’s President and CEO Pekka Lundmark attended COP26<br>in Glasgow, reiterating the company’s commitments to net-zero,<br>highlighting concrete actions being taken and the critical role of<br>connectivity and digitalization in driving the sustainable<br>transformation of asset heavy industries and processes that is<br>required to fight climate change. Nokia also announced a new target<br>to purchase 100% electricity from renewable sources by 2025 to<br>power its offices, R&D labs, and factories.<br>Nokia became a founding member of the First Movers Coalition, a<br>public-private partnership between the US State Department and<br>the World Economic Forum, focused on accelerating innovation and<br>the path to market for emerging solutions that are essential to help<br>reduce emissions to net-zero. As a concrete step, Nokia joined<br>forces with DB Schenker and Lufthansa Cargo on a carbon neutral<br>logistics route to transport 10 tons of communication equipment<br>each week, using sustainable aviation fuel for the flight and an<br>alternative biofuel for the final land transport. Nokia’s products took<br>their first carbon-neutral flight in October 2021.<br>Nokia is honored to have won the COP26 Compass Award for<br>Supply Chain Capacity Building, run by DEFRA UK and the<br>Responsible Business Alliance. The award is a great recognition of<br>Nokia’s collaboration and capacity building with its suppliers – a key<br>part of our efforts towards reaching our emissions targets. In<br>December, CDP, the world’s leading global disclosure system for<br>environmental impact awarded Nokia Leadership level and an A-<br>score for its work to cut emissions, mitigate climate risks and help<br>develop a low-carbon economy.<br><br>Integrity<br>As part of Nokia’s commitment to respect Human Rights, Nokia is a<br>board member of the multi-stakeholder group Global Network<br>Initiative (GNI), which examines human rights in the ICT sector.<br>Companies participating in GNI are independently assessed every<br>two to three years. Nokia is proud to be the first<br>telecommunications equipment vendor to have successfully<br>completed an assessment and has now kicked off our second<br>assessment in December 2021, which will be carried out by an<br>independent external assessor.<br><br>Culture<br>Nokia’s people are its greatest asset and it aims to enable a culture<br>that drives business value based on three essentials: open, fearless<br>and empowered. In support of this culture, the third annual<br>employee inclusion survey was conducted in Q4. Nokia’s average<br>internal inclusion score improved – on a scale of 1-10 – from 7.6 to<br>8.0 and the number of employees who believe that inclusion and<br>diversity efforts are having a positive impact on company culture<br>increased from 74% to 79%.<br>In the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index 2022, Nokia got an overall<br>score of 73.67%, well above the industry average of 69.63%. Nokia<br>does however recognize that more work needs to be done and will<br>continue to prioritize actions towards improved gender balance.<br><br>Other topics<br>Nokia announced a partnership with UNICEF Finland, UNICEF<br>Morocco and Orange Foundation to empower marginalized young<br>people – particularly girls – in Morocco with digital, entrepreneurial<br>and environmental skills, including transferable skills such as working<br>with others, self-esteem, creativity and communication, as part of<br>UNICEF’s UPSHIFT program. This program is aligned with Nokia’s<br>purpose and continued focus to reduce the digital divide and<br>provide training in digital skills to the communities in which it<br>operates.

The decrease in comparable operating profit and operating<br>margin primarily reflects lower gross profit, as well as an increase in<br>R&D expenses to accelerate our product roadmaps and cost<br>competitiveness. This was partially offset by a net positive<br>fluctuation in other operating income and expenses, mainly related<br>to the absence of loss allowances on certain trade receivables that<br>negatively impacted Q4 2020, as well as lower SG&A expenses. In<br>Q4 2021, operating profit was negatively impacted by higher<br>variable pay accruals, compared to Q4 2020.<br>In both Q4 2021 and Q4 2020, the difference between reported and<br>comparable operating profit was primarily related to restructuring<br>and associated charges and the amortization of acquired intangible<br>assets.<br>Operational Key Performance Indicators<br>Proportion of our 5G shipments that are “5G Powered by ReefShark”<br>This KPI tracks shipments of our System-on-Chip (“SoC”) based 5G<br>Powered by ReefShark (“5G PBR”) product portfolio. Increased 5G<br>PBR shipments are expected to help reduce our product cost and<br>improve the power efficiency of our products.<br>In Q4 2021, 5G PBR accounted for 68% of shipments, marking a<br>strong sequential improvement. Pleasingly, in December 5G PBR<br>shipments reached 76%, which puts us on track to achieve our end<br>of 2022 target of ~100% of product shipments. The new AirScale<br>radio and baseband products launched in Q2 2021 are also<br>important final steps towards our full SoC portfolio evolution.<br>Our weighted 5G conversion rate and market share<br>This KPI measures how we are doing in converting our end of 2018<br>4G footprint into 5G footprint. It factors in customer size, as well as<br>new 5G footprint where we did not previously have a 4G installed<br>base (meaning it can be over 100%).<br>At the end of Q4 2021, our 5G conversion rate remained<br>approximately 90% excluding China and in the low 80% range<br>including China. Since the end of 2018, our 4G to 5G conversion rate<br>has been impacted by not converting all of our 4G footprint into 5G<br>footprint in North America and China. We believe this has now<br>stabilized and we see opportunities through which it could start to<br>improve, but the timing of deals remains uncertain.<br>We finished full year 2021 with our 4G + 5G market share at<br>approximately 26%, excluding China. This was in-line with our<br>targeted range of 25% to 27%.<br>Given the strong progress that Mobile Networks has made, the<br>evolution of our strategic priorities and the fact that changes in<br>these KPIs are smaller over time, we plan to no longer report on the<br>weighted 5G conversion and internal 4G + 5G market share KPIs<br>going forward (considering external market share estimates are<br>readily available). We do however continue to see market share<br>expansion opportunities and we will continue to report the 5G PBR<br>KPI through 2022, until we have largely completed the transition to<br>SoCs.

3 February 2022 25<br>Financial tables, unaudited<br><br>Notes to Financial statements<br>1. BASIS OF PREPARATION<br>This unaudited and condensed consolidated financial statement information of Nokia has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting,<br>and it should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for 2020 prepared in accordance with IFRS as published by the IASB and adopted by<br>the EU. The same accounting policies, methods of computation and applications of judgment are followed in this financial statement information as was followed<br>in the consolidated financial statements for 2020. Percentages and figures presented herein may include rounding differences and therefore may not add up<br>precisely to the totals presented and may vary from previously published financial information. This financial report was authorized for issue by the Board of<br>Directors on 3 February 2022.<br><br>Certain comparative information for Q4’20 and Q1-Q4’20 presented in this condensed consolidated financial information of Nokia has been revised from that<br>presented in the fourth quarter 2020 due to an adjusting event after the reporting period related to a debt restructuring request of an emerging market customer<br>recorded after the Report for Q4 and Full Year 2020 was published but before the consolidated financial statements for 2020 were authorized for issue.<br><br>Net sales and operating profit of the Nokia Group, particularly in Mobile Networks, Network Infrastructure and Cloud and Network Services segments, are subject<br>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<br>spending cycles of communication service providers.<br><br>Management has identified its regions as the relevant category to present disaggregated revenue. Nokia's primary customer base consists of companies that<br>operate on a country specific or a regional basis and are subject to macroeconomic conditions specific to those regions. Further, although Nokia’s technology<br>cycle is similar around the world, each country or region is inherently in a different stage of that cycle, often influenced by macroeconomic conditions. Each<br>reportable segment, as described in Note 2, Segment Information, operates in every region as described in Note 3, Net Sales. No reportable segment has a specific<br>revenue concentration in any region other than Nokia Technologies, which is included in Europe. Each type of customer, as disclosed in Note 3, Net Sales, operates<br>in all regions.<br><br>In 2017, Nokia and China Huaxin Post & Telecommunication Economy Development Center (China Huaxin) commenced operations of the joint venture Nokia<br>Shanghai Bell (NSB). China Huaxin obtained the right to fully transfer its ownership interest in NSB to Nokia in exchange for a future cash settlement. To reflect this<br>obligation, Nokia derecognized the non-controlling interest and records a financial liability in current liabilities in line with the option exercise period. Any changes<br>in the estimated future cash settlement are recorded in financial income and expense.<br><br>In the first quarter of 2021, Nokia reviewed the presentation of cash flows related to foreign exchange hedging of cash and cash equivalents. As a result, Nokia<br>reclassified the results of foreign exchange hedging of cash and cash flows previously presented in translation differences to the cash flow from investing<br>activities to enhance the relevance of information provided in Nokia’s consolidated statement of cash flows. The comparative amounts for 2020 have been<br>reclassified accordingly. Related to Q4 2020, as a result of the reclassification, the net cash used in investing activities increased by EUR 17 million and translation<br>differences increased by EUR 17 million compared to the previously reported amounts. Related to Q1–Q4 2020, as a result of the reclassification, the net cash<br>used in investing activities decreased by EUR 79 million and translation differences decreased by EUR 79 million compared to the previously reported amounts.<br><br>In 2020, the global economy and financial markets were severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, the impact of COVID-19 on our financial<br>performance and financial position has been limited, primarily relating to temporary factory closures in the first half of 2020. As of 31 December 2021, potential<br>risks and uncertainties continue to exist related to the scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the pace and shape of the economic recovery, and<br>it is impossible to predict with accuracy the precise impact of such risks on our business.

In order to allow full visibility on determining comparable results, information on items affecting<br>comparability is presented separately for each of the components of profit or loss.<br><br>Constant currency reporting provides additional information on change in financial measures on a constant currency basis in order to better reflect the underlying<br>business performance. Therefore, change in financial measures at constant currency excludes the impact of changes in exchange rates in comparison to euro, our<br>reporting currency.<br><br>As comparable or constant currency financial measures are not defined in IFRS they may not be directly comparable with similarly titled measures used by other<br>companies, including those in the same industry. The primary rationale for presenting these measures is that the management uses these measures in assessing<br>the financial performance of Nokia and believes that these measures provide meaningful supplemental information on the underlying business performance of<br>Nokia. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with IFRS. Refer to<br>Note 10, Performance measures, for further details.<br>Foreign exchange rates<br>Nokia’s net sales are derived from various countries and invoiced in various currencies. Therefore, our business and results from operations are exposed to<br>changes in foreign exchange rates between the euro, our reporting currency, and other currencies, such as the US dollar and the Chinese yuan. To mitigate the<br>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<br>hedge accounting in the majority of cases.<br><br>The below table shows the exposure to different currencies for net sales and total costs.<br> Q4'21 Q4'20 Q3'21<br>Net sales Total costs Net sales Total costs Net sales Total costs<br>EUR ~25% ~25% ~20% ~25% ~25% ~25%<br>USD ~50% ~50% ~55% ~50% ~50% ~50%<br>CNY ~5% ~5% ~5% ~5% ~5% ~5%<br>Other ~20% ~20% ~20% ~20% ~20% ~20%<br>Total 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100%<br>End of Q4'21 balance sheet rate 1 EUR = 1.13 USD, end of Q4'20 balance sheet rate 1 EUR = 1.23 USD and end of Q3'21 balance sheet rate 1 EUR = 1.16 USD<br>New and amended standards and interpretations<br>The amendments to IFRS standards that became effective on 1 January 2021, did not have a material impact on Nokia's consolidated financial statements. New<br>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<br>financial statements when adopted.

3 February 2022 27<br>Financial tables, unaudited<br><br>2. SEGMENT INFORMATION<br>Nokia has four operating and reportable segments for the financial reporting purposes: (1) Mobile Networks, (2) Network Infrastructure, (3)<br>Cloud and Network Services and (4) Nokia Technologies. Segment-level information for Group Common and Other is also presented.<br><br>In addition, Nokia provides net sales disclosure for the following businesses within the Network Infrastructure segment: (i) IP Networks, (ii)<br>Optical Networks, (iii) Fixed Networks and (iv) Submarine Networks.<br><br>Nokia adopted its current operational and reporting structure on 1 January 2021. The reporting structure was revised to reflect Nokia’s new<br>strategy and operational model which is aligned with the way the management evaluates the operational performance of Nokia and allocates<br>resources. Previously Nokia had three reportable segments: (1) Networks, (2) Nokia Software and (3) Nokia Technologies. Furthermore, Networks<br>reportable segment consisted of four aggregated operating segments: (1) Mobile Networks, (2) Global Services, (3) Fixed Networks and (4)<br>IP/Optical Networks. The most significant changes to the operational and reporting structure are the reclassifications of the following product<br>areas:<br><br> • Network management was reclassified from Nokia Software to Mobile Networks<br> • Submarine Networks was reclassified from Group Common and Other to Network Infrastructure<br> • Packet Core was reclassified from IP/Optical Networks to Cloud and Network Services<br> • Managed Services, Network Cognitive Services and Enterprise Solution Services were reclassified from Global Services to Cloud and Network<br>Services<br> • Digital Automation and Analytics & IoT was reclassified from Group Common and Other to Cloud and Network Services<br><br>Segment information for 2020 has been recast for comparability purposes according to the new operating and reporting structure.<br><br>The President and CEO is the chief operating decision-maker and monitors the operating results of segments for the purpose of assessing<br>performance and making decisions about resource allocation. Key financial performance measures of the segments include primarily net sales<br>and operating profit. The evaluation of segment performance and allocation of resources is primarily based on comparable operating profit<br>which the management believes is the most relevant measure for this purpose. Comparable operating profit excludes intangible asset<br>amortization and other purchase price fair value adjustments, goodwill impairments, restructuring related charges and certain other items<br>affecting comparability.<br><br>Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2, Significant accounting policies in the consolidated financial<br>statements for 2020, except that items affecting comparability are excluded from the measurement of comparable measures. For more<br>information on comparable measures, refer to Notes 1, Basis of preparation and 10, Performance Measures. Inter-segment revenues and<br>transfers are accounted for as if the revenues were to third parties, that is, at current market prices.<br>Mobile Networks<br>The Mobile Networks operating segment offers technologies for Radio Access Networks (RAN) as well as Microwave Radio Links (MWR) for<br>transport networks. RAN includes 3GPP radio technologies ranging from 2G/GSM to 5G/NR in licensed and unlicensed spectrum for both macro<br>and small cell deployments. In addition to RAN and MWR products, the Mobile Networks operating segment provides associated network<br>management solutions as well as network planning, network optimization, network deployment and technical support services.<br><br>Network Infrastructure<br>The Network Infrastructure operating segment serves communication service providers, enterprises, webscales and public sector customers. It<br>comprises the following businesses: (i) Optical Networks, which provides optical transport networks for metro, regional, longhaul and ultra-<br>longhaul applications; (ii) IP Networks, which provides IP networks and services for residential, mobile, enterprise and cloud applications; (iii)<br>Fixed Networks, which provides fiber, fixed wireless access, and copper technologies; and (iv) Submarine Networks, which offers undersea cable<br>transmission.<br><br>Cloud and Network Services<br>The Cloud and Network Services operating segment is built around software and the cloud and is focused on driving leadership in cloud-native<br>software and as-a-service deliver models, as demand for critical networks accelerates; and with strong market positions in communications<br>software, private wireless networks, and cognitive (or intelligent) services. The Cloud and Network Services portfolio encompasses core<br>networks, including both voice and packet core; business applications covering areas like security and digital operations; cloud and cognitive<br>services; and enterprise solutions covering private wireless and industrial automation.<br><br>Nokia Technologies<br>The Nokia Technologies operating segment, building on decades of innovation and R&D leadership in technologies used in virtually all mobile<br>devices used today, is expanding the Nokia patent licensing business, reintroducing the Nokia brand to smartphones through brand licensing,<br>and establishing a technology licensing business. The majority of net sales and related costs and expenses attributable to licensing and<br>patenting the patent portfolio is recorded in Nokia Technologies, while each segment separately records its own research and development<br>expenses.<br><br>Group Common and Other<br>Group Common and Other includes Radio Frequency Systems which is managed as a separate entity. In addition, Group Common and Other<br>includes Nokia Bell Labs’ operating expenses, certain corporate-level and centrally managed operating expenses, as well as fair value gains and<br>losses on investments in unlisted venture funds, including investments managed by NGP Capital.

3 February 2022 37<br>Financial tables, unaudited<br><br>4. PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS<br>Nokia operates a number of post-employment plans in various countries including both defined contribution and defined benefit plans. Defined benefit plans include<br>pension plans and other post-employment benefit plans, providing retirement healthcare benefits and life insurance coverage. Nokia remeasures all pension and post-<br>retirement plan assets and obligations annually, as of 31 December, through valuations performed by external actuaries. As of 31 December 2021, the weighted average<br>discount rates used in remeasurement of the most significant plans were as follows (comparatives as of 31 December 2020): U.S. Pension 2.40% (1.94%), U.S. Opeb<br>2.42% (1.97%), Germany 0.87% (0.35%) and U.K. 1.87% (1.26%).<br><br>The funded status of Nokia’s defined benefit plans (before the effect of the asset ceiling) increased from EUR 4 184 million, or 118.5%, as of 30 September 2021 to EUR 4<br>424 million, or 119.5% as of 31 December 2021. During the quarter the global defined benefit plan asset portfolio was invested approximately 69% in fixed income, 5% in<br>equities and 26% in other asset classes, mainly private equity and real estate. Market conditions for financial assets have continued to stabilize after COVID-19 related<br>stress in 2020.

3 February 2022 38<br>Financial tables, unaudited<br><br>5. DEFERRED TAXES<br>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<br>credits and deductible temporary differences can be utilized in the relevant jurisdictions. As of 31 December 2021, Nokia has recognized deferred tax<br>assets of EUR 1.3 billion (EUR 1.8 billion as of 31 December 2020).<br><br>In addition, as of 31 December 2021, Nokia has unrecognized deferred tax assets of approximately EUR 8 billion (EUR 8 billion as of 31 December 2020),<br>the majority of which relate to France (approximately EUR 4 billion) and Finland (approximately EUR 3 billion). These deferred tax assets have not been<br>recognized due to uncertainty regarding their utilization. A significant portion of the French unrecognized deferred tax assets are indefinite in nature and<br>available against future French tax liabilities, subject to a limitation of 50% of annual taxable profits. The majority of Finnish unrecognized deferred tax<br>assets are not subject to expiry and are available against future Finnish tax liabilities.<br><br>Nokia continually evaluates the probability of utilizing its deferred tax assets and considers both positive and negative evidence in its assessment. At 31<br>December 2020, Nokia concluded based on its assessment that it is not probable that it will be able to utilize the unused tax losses, unused tax credits<br>and deductible temporary differences in Finland in the foreseeable future. This assessment was done primarily based on the historical performance.<br>Consequently, Nokia derecognized EUR 2 918 million deferred tax assets related to Finland.<br><br>At 31 December 2021, Nokia continues to conclude that such utilization is not probable. When an entity has incurred losses in recent years in a certain<br>jurisdiction, additional caution should be exercised before a deferred tax asset is recognized. The entity recognizes a deferred tax asset arising from<br>unused losses or tax credits only to the extent the entity has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that<br>sufficient tax profit will be available against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilized in the future. Positive evidence of future<br>taxable profits may be assigned less weight in assessing the appropriateness of recording a deferred tax asset when there is other negative evidence<br>such as cumulative losses, which are considered strong evidence that future taxable profits may not be available.<br><br>In 2021, Nokia generated accounting and taxable profit in Finland and there were improvements in financial performance compared to the previous<br>periods. At 31 December 2021, Nokia does not consider that it has generated an established pattern of sufficient tax profitability to conclude that it is<br>probable that Nokia will be able to utilize the deferred tax assets in Finland. This conclusion is based on the weighting of objective negative evidence<br>against more subjective positive evidence. The primary factors in this weighting were the more objective record of a pattern of financial performance<br>compared to the more inherently subjective expectations regarding future financial performance in Finland.<br><br>Nokia continues to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets including in particular its actual profit record and may re-recognize deferred tax assets<br>related to Finland where a clear pattern of tax profitability can be established.
