Nokia Corporation Interim Report for Q3 2026
Nokia delivers strong net sales and profit growth
| · | Q3 net sales grew 9% y-o-y on a constant currency basis (+10% reported). | |
| · | Network Infrastructure net sales grew 15% y-o-y on a constant currency basis, led by IP Networks growing 43% and Optical Networks 18%. Group net sales to AI & Cloud customers grew 123% and order intake 118%. | |
| · | Mobile Infrastructure net sales grew 5% y-o-y, in part due to acceleration of revenue from Q4 into Q3. The segment benefited from product mix, commercial discipline and continued execution of the cost reduction program. | |
| · | Q3 comparable gross margin was largely stable y-o-y at 44.6%. Reported gross margin declined 220bps to 42.2%. | |
| · | Q3 comparable operating margin increased 220bps y-o-y to 11.7% benefiting from revenue growth and operating efficiency. Reported operating margin declined 160bps to 3.8% due to accelerated restructuring and integration cost. | |
| · | Q3 comparable diluted EPS from continued operations of EUR 0.09; reported diluted EPS from continued operations of EUR 0.03. | |
| · | Nokia's full year financial outlook is unchanged. |
"Team Nokia continues to deliver on our commitments as we execute against our strategy. In Q3, we grew net sales by 9% and improved comparable operating margin by 220 basis points. We continue to simplify our portfolio, and we are on track to complete the Infinera integration by the end of 2026, one year ahead of plan with EUR 200 million of net synergies.
In AI & Cloud, net sales more than doubled year-over-year and we secured EUR 1.5 billion in new orders. Our strong order backlog also positions us for future growth. We expect our combined Optical and IP Networks businesses to grow between 25% and 30% in 2027. Nokia’s strengths are uniquely suited to meet growing demands for AI infrastructure that is larger, more distributed and hyperconnected. We are investing where we can differentiate and co-innovate with hyperscalers. Our partnership with Google in support of their EUR 13 billion investment in Finland is an example of how our optical and IP networks provide the critical connectivity AI infrastructure requires.
AI-native networks are moving into the physical world, and our AI-RAN platform is being developed to deliver the performance needed for this market. Together with T-Mobile and NVIDIA, we completed the world’s first AI-RAN call in a live operator network in line with the commitment we announced last year. As we move towards commercial deployment the features and spectral efficiency delivered by our platform are uniquely differentiated in the market.

| STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 22 October 2026 |
Along with Nokia's official outlook target provided above, Nokia provides the below assumptions that support the group level financial outlook for 2026.
| Full year 2026 | Comment | |
| Q4 seasonality | Nokia assumes a 20% to 24% q-o-q increase in net sales in Q4. Comparable operating profit: Nokia assumes a typically strong q-o-q increase in operating profit in Q4 to deliver full year operating profit above the mid-point of our comparable operating profit outlook. | |
| Network Infrastructure net sales growth(1) | 12 - 14% | This incorporates an updated assumption for combined Optical and IP Networks to grow somewhat above Nokia's prior 18-20% assumption in 2026. |
| Comparable financial income and expenses | Positive EUR 300 to 400 million (update) | Strong income from Nokia's venture fund investments is leading to an increase in the outlook assumption for 2026. |
| Comparable income tax rate | ~26% (update) | Nokia's effective tax rate remains sensitive to geographic mix. |
| Cash outflows related to income taxes | EUR 500 million | |
| Capital expenditures | EUR 750 - 850 million (update) | Reduced assumption partially due to some changes in real estate plans and the timing of some of the cash impact of manufacturing investments moving to 2027. Nokia's optical manufacturing expansion plans remain on-track, this only relates to timing of some cash payments. |
| Free cash flow conversion from comparable operating profit | 35% to 55% (update) | Nokia is lowering its FCF conversion assumption due to investments the company is making in working capital during 2026 to secure supply and support the growth opportunity in 2027 along with accelerated restructuring. Nokia is now planning to invest an additional EUR 400 million in working capital this year. |
| Restructuring and associated charges related to cost savings programs | EUR 1 100 million (update) |
Nokia has increased the scale of some of its restructuring programs as it accelerates efforts to simplify the company's operations and location strategy and increase operating leverage in the business going forward. |
| Restructuring and associated cash outflows | EUR 800 - 900 million (update) |
Restructuring and related cash outflows relating to all Nokia restructuring programs. |
1 Net sales growth assumption is on a constant currency and portfolio basis.

| Financial Results Q3 2026 compared to Q3 2025 Net sales In Q3 2026, reported net sales increased 10%. On a constant currency basis, Nokia's comparable net sales increased 9%, driven by 15% growth in Network Infrastructure. Network Infrastructure growth was driven by IP Networks which grew 43% and Optical Networks which grew 18%. Mobile Infrastructure grew 5% with growth in Radio Networks and Technology Standards. Gross margin Reported gross margin in Q3 2026 decreased 220 basis points to 42.2% and comparable gross margin decreased 20 basis points to 44.6%. The small decrease in comparable gross margin was related to product mix. Reported gross margin decreased mainly due to higher restructuring costs. Operating profit/loss and margin Reported operating profit in Q3 2026 was EUR 196 million, or 3.8% of net sales, a decrease versus EUR 252 million, or 5.4% of net sales in Q3 2025. Comparable operating profit increased 35% to EUR 605 million from EUR 448 million in Q3 2025 and comparable operating margin was 11.7%, an increase of 220 basis points versus 9.5% in Q3 2025. The increase in comparable gross profit was partially offset by a net negative impact from other operating income and expenses versus the year ago quarter. The impact of hedging in Q3 2026 was negative EUR 16 million, compared to a positive impact of EUR 39 million in Q3 2025. In Q3 2026, the difference between reported and comparable operating profit related primarily to EUR 357 million of restructuring and associated charges, EUR 46 million of amortization and depreciation of acquired intangible assets and property, plant and equipment and EUR 8 million of integration related costs associated with the Infinera acquisition. In Q3 2025, the difference between reported and comparable operating profit related to EUR 115 million of amortization and depreciation of acquired intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, EUR 44 million of restructuring and associated charges, EUR 25 million related to the release of acquisition related fair value adjustments to deferred revenue and inventory, and EUR 10 million in transaction and related costs associated with the Infinera acquisition. Profit from continuing operations Reported profit from continuing operations in Q3 2026 was EUR 176 million, compared to a profit of EUR 90 million in Q3 2025. Comparable profit from continuing operations in Q3 2026 was EUR 498 million, compared to EUR 334 million in Q3 2025. Beyond the increase in comparable operating profit, the increase in comparable profit from continuing operations was driven by the net positive impact from financial income and expenses including a positive revaluation within Nokia's venture fund investments, partially offset by an increase in income tax expense. Apart from the items affecting comparability included in operating profit (and their associated tax effects), there was no difference in Q3 2026 between reported and comparable profit from continuing operations. In Q3 2025, the difference was mainly due to a negative impact of EUR 57 million from an increase in the financial liability to acquire non-controlling interest in Nokia Shanghai Bell and EUR 41 million negative impact related to deferred tax expense due to tax rate changes. Loss from discontinued operations Reported loss from discontinued operations in Q3 2026 was EUR 21 million, compared to a loss of EUR 10 million in Q3 2025. Earnings per share Reported diluted EPS from continuing operations was EUR 0.03 in Q3 2026, compared to EUR 0.01 in Q3 2025. Comparable diluted EPS from continuing operations was EUR 0.09 in Q3 2026, compared to EUR 0.06 in Q3 2025. Reported diluted EPS from discontinued operations was EUR 0.00 in Q3 2026 and Q3 2025.

This was driven by a strong performance in both IP and Optical Networks, partially offset by a decline in Fixed Networks. Optical Networks net sales grew 18% on a constant currency basis, reflecting strong growth in AI & Cloud and also grew with Telecommunication Providers. Growth was led by the Americas with a more moderate contribution from EMEA. Order intake was strong across both AI & Cloud and Telecommunication Providers. IP Networks net sales increased 43% on a constant currency basis, led by AI & Cloud, alongside growth in Telecommunication Providers and Mission Critical Enterprise customers. Net sales increased across all regions, with particular strength in the Americas. Order intake remained strong in IP Networks especially from AI & Cloud customers. Fixed Networks net sales declined 22% on a constant currency basis, as we continue to prioritize higher-margin offerings. Sales of operator premises equipment (OLT) remained stable. We saw strong order intake growth on a year-on-year basis. Gross profit improved year-on-year, driven by higher net sales in IP and Optical Networks, partially offset by Fixed Networks. Gross margin declined due to product mix and a ramp-up of new products for AI & Cloud customers in IP Networks. We expect a recovery in the fourth quarter, supported by scale benefits and pricing discipline. Operating profit increased year-on-year, reflecting higher gross profit, partially offset by increased operating expenses related to targeted investments to support long-term growth, particularly in IP Networks and Optical Networks. Operating margin increase was driven by operating leverage. 22 October 2026 4 |

Core Software net sales declined 13% on a constant currency basis. This was driven by softness in certain applications we are de-emphasizing along supply chain constraints for server infrastructure. Radio Networks net sales grew by 10% on a constant currency basis in part due to acceleration of revenue from Q4 into Q3. Net sales grew in all regions with strongest growth in EMEA and in APAC, particularly in Japan and India. Technology Standards delivered net sales of EUR 425 million in the quarter, growing 8% on a constant currency basis. The growth was driven by license agreements signed in the past four quarters and included a typical benefit from catch-up net sales. Gross profit increased in line with net sales. Gross margin was largely stable year-on-year in Q3 2026. The gross margin benefited from an increased contribution from Technology Standards. Operating profit increased year-on-year in Q3 2026 driven by higher gross profit and lower SG&A expenses due to ongoing cost savings programs. This was partially offset by a negative impact from other operating income and expenses which benefited from positive impact from hedging in Q3 2025. Operating margin improved mainly due to operating leverage.

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 Q3 2026, Nokia’s free cash flow was negative EUR 99 million, as comparable operating profit was offset by cash outflows related to net working capital, restructuring and associated charges and capital expenditures. Net cash from operating activities Net cash used in operating activities was driven by: ▪ Nokia’s adjusted profit of EUR 744 million. ▪ The cash outflow related to net working capital in the quarter was approximately EUR 560 million. There was approximately EUR 290 million cash outflow related to restructuring and associated charges from the current and previous cost savings programs. The balance of EUR 270 million cash outflow can be broken down as follows: ◦ The increase in receivables was approximately EUR 230 million. The balance sheet impact related to sale of receivables in the quarter increased. ◦ The increase in inventories was approximately EUR 130 million. ◦ The increase in liabilities was approximately EUR 90 million. ▪ An outflow related to cash taxes of approximately EUR 70 million. Net cash from investing activities ▪ Net cash used in investing activities was due primarily to the outflows related to capital expenditures of approximately EUR 190 million, inflow of approximately EUR 40 million from sale of fixed assets, outflow of approximately EUR 30 million for acquisition of businesses and an inflow of approximately EUR 40 million related to other financial assets. Net cash from financing activities ▪ Net cash used in financing activities was related primarily to proceeds from sales of treasury shares of approximately EUR 60 million, dividend payments of approximately EUR 230 million and lease payments of approximately EUR 50 million. 22 October 2026 7 |
| January-September 2026 compared to January-September 2025 Net sales In the first nine months of 2026, net sales grew 7% on a reported basis. The increase from the acquisition of Infinera (which closed at the end of February 2025) contributed 2% and was offset by foreign exchange fluctuations with a negative impact of 2%. On a constant currency and portfolio basis, Nokia's comparable net sales also increased by 7% in the first nine months of 2026 resulting from growth in both Network Infrastructure which grew 11% and Mobile Infrastructure which grew 5% in the first nine months. Portfolio Businesses also grew by 11% during that period. Gross margin Both reported and comparable gross margin increased year-on-year versus the first nine months of 2025. Reported gross margin increased 20 basis points to 43.7% and comparable gross margin increased 110 basis points to 45.5%. The improvement was driven by increases from both Network Infrastructure and Mobile Infrastructure which increased by 70bps and 130bps respectively. Operating profit/loss and margin Reported operating profit in the first nine months of 2026 was EUR 229 million, or 1.6% of net sales, a decrease from EUR 403 million or 3.0% of net sales in the first nine months of 2025. Comparable operating profit increased to EUR 1 340 million from EUR 1 024 million year-on-year and comparable operating margin increased 170 basis points year-on-year to 9.3%. The increase in comparable operating profit reflected the increased gross profit and was slightly offset by an increase in operating expenses as underlying cost reductions were more than offset by targeted investments for long-term growth. In addition, comparable other operating income and expense in the first nine months of 2026 was negative EUR 13 million versus the prior year positive EUR 103 million. The impact of hedging in the first nine months of 2026 was negative EUR 2 million, compared to a positive impact of EUR 27 million in the first nine months of 2025. In the first nine months of 2026, the difference between reported and comparable operating profit was primarily related to EUR 903 million of restructuring and associated charges, EUR 137 million of amortization and depreciation of acquired intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, EUR 33 million of impairment and write-off of assets, net of reversals, EUR 29 million of integration related costs associated with the Infinera acquisition and EUR 13 million charge related to a change in provisions related to past acquisitions. In the first nine months of 2025, the difference between reported and comparable operating profit was primarily related to EUR 330 million of amortization and depreciation of acquired intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, EUR 178 million of restructuring and associated charges, the release of acquisition-related fair-value adjustments to deferred revenue and inventory of EUR 83 million, and EUR 23 million of transaction and related costs, including integration costs. Profit from continuing operations Reported profit from continuing operations in the first nine months of 2026 was EUR 307 million, compared to a profit of EUR 150 million for the same period in 2025. Comparable profit from continuing operations in the first nine months of 2026 was EUR 1 223 million, compared to EUR 760 million in the first nine months of 2025. The increase in comparable profit from continuing operations was driven by the higher comparable operating profit and higher net financial income, partially offset by higher income tax expenses and lower share of results of associates and joint ventures. 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 the first nine months of 2026 was mainly due to the negative impact from a resolution of legal dispute of EUR 37 million. In the first nine months of 2025, the difference was mainly due to the increase in financial liability to acquire non-controlling interest in Nokia Shanghai Bell of negative EUR 65 million, impact of deferred tax expense due to tax rate changes of negative EUR 41 million and decrease in fair value of Infinera convertible notes of EUR 23 million which were settled in Q2 2025 . Loss from discontinued operations Reported loss from discontinued operations in the first nine months of 2026 was EUR 59 million, compared to a loss of EUR 34 million in the first nine months of 2025. Earnings per share Reported diluted EPS from continuing operations was EUR 0.05 in the first nine months of 2026, compared to EUR 0.02 in the first nine months of 2025. Comparable diluted EPS from continuing operations was EUR 0.21 in the first nine months of 2026, compared to EUR 0.13 in the first nine months of 2025. Reported diluted EPS from discontinued operations was negative EUR 0.01 in the first nine months of 2026, compared to EUR 0.00 in the first nine months of 2025. Cash performance In the first nine months of 2026, Nokia's net cash decreased EUR 794 million, resulting in an end-of-period net cash balance of EUR 2 584 million. Total cash decreased EUR 1 768 million, resulting in total cash balance of EUR 5 023 million. Free cash flow was negative EUR 205 million in the first nine months of 2026. 22 October 2026 8 |

| Notes to Financial statements 1. GENERAL INFORMATION This unaudited and condensed consolidated financial statement information of Nokia has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and it should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for 2025 prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as published by the IASB and as adopted by the EU. The same accounting policies, methods of computation and applications of judgment are followed in this financial statement information as was followed in the annual consolidated financial statements for 2025 except for the following: In the second quarter of 2026, Nokia has classified its Fixed Wireless Access CPE and Enterprise Campus Edge businesses, which were previously reported as part of Portfolio Businesses, as held for sale and will present them as discontinued operations beginning from Q2 2026. Comparative financial information presented in the consolidated income statement and disclosed in the relevant notes has been recast accordingly. For more information on the discontinued operations, refer to Note 3. Discontinued operations and disposal groups held for sale. 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 22 October 2026. Nokia's net sales and operating profit are subject to seasonal fluctuation 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 telecommunication providers. 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. 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 to different currencies for net sales and total costs. Q3'26 Q3'25 Q2'26 Net sales Total costs Net sales Total costs Net sales Total costs EUR ~25% ~30% ~25% ~25% ~25% ~30% USD ~55% ~50% ~55% ~50% ~55% ~45% Other ~20% ~20% ~20% ~25% ~20% ~25% Total 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% End of Q3'26 balance sheet rate 1 EUR = 1.14 USD, end of Q3'25 balance sheet rate 1 EUR = 1.17 USD and end of Q2'26 balance sheet rate 1 EUR = 1.14 USD New and amended standards and interpretations New standards and amendments to existing standards that became effective on 1 January 2026, 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. Nokia will apply IFRS 18 from its mandatory effective date of 1 January 2027. Even though IFRS 18 is not changing the recognition and measurement requirements, the standard is expected to significantly change how Nokia presents its consolidated financial statements, particularly the income statement, statement of cash flows, and notes to the financial statements. Nokia is currently assessing the impact the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements. For potential impacts identified, refer to Note 1.4. New and amended standards and interpretations in Nokia's annual consolidated financial statements for 2025. 22 October 2026 16 |
| 2. SEGMENT INFORMATION Nokia has three operating and reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: (1) Network Infrastructure, (2) Mobile Infrastructure and (3) Portfolio Businesses. Additionally, Nokia presents segment-level information for Group Common and Other and provides net sales information for the following business units within the Network Infrastructure segment: (i) IP Networks, (ii) Optical Networks and (iii) Fixed Networks, and the following business units within the Mobile Infrastructure segment: (i) Core Software, (ii) Radio Networks and (iii) Technology Standards. 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. Change in reporting structure Nokia adopted its new operational and reporting structure on 1 January 2026 to better align its business to customer needs and accelerate innovation as the AI supercycle increases demand for advanced connectivity. Previously Nokia had four operating and reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: (1) Network Infrastructure, (2) Mobile Networks, (3) Cloud and Network Services, and (4) Nokia Technologies. The new operational and reporting structure recognizes the following two primary operating segments: ▪ Network Infrastructure is a growth segment, positioned to capitalize on the rapid, global AI and data center build-out while continuing to innovate for its telecommunications customer base. The segment consists of three business units Optical Networks, IP Networks and Fixed Networks. ▪ Mobile Infrastructure segment brings together Nokia’s Core Networks portfolio, Radio Networks portfolio and Technology Standards (formerly Nokia Technologies). It is positioned for core and radio network technology and services leadership to lead the industry to AI-native networks and 6G. In addition, Nokia has identified several units which are not seen as core to the future of the company’s strategy. These units were moved into a dedicated operating segment called Portfolio Businesses while the company assesses the best value creating opportunity for them. The units moved were: ▪ Fixed Wireless Access CPE (previously in Fixed Networks in Network Infrastructure) ▪ Site Implementation and Outside Plant (previously in Fixed Networks in Network Infrastructure) ▪ Enterprise Campus Edge (previously in Cloud and Network Services) ▪ Microwave Radio (previously in Mobile Networks) In Q2 2026, Nokia classified Fixed Wireless Access CPE and Enterprise Campus Edge businesses as discontinued operations. Refer to Note 3. Discontinued operations and disposal groups held for sale. Comparative segment information, including segment information for Network Infrastructure and Mobile Infrastructure, has been recast to reflect the presentation of discontinued operations. Segment descriptions Network Infrastructure The Network Infrastructure segment serves AI & Cloud customers, telecommunication providers and mission critical enterprises globally. The segment consists of three business units: (i) Optical Network, which provides optical transport networks for metro, regional, long-haul and data center interconnect applications; (ii) IP Networks, which provides IP routing and data center switching and (iii) Fixed Networks, which provides the equipment for home broadband networks. The segment is positioned to capitalize on the rapid, global AI and data center build-out while continuing to innovate for its telecommunications customer base. Mobile Infrastructure Mobile Infrastructure segment serves telecommunications providers, mission critical enterprises and defense customers along with licensing Nokia’s patent portfolio to a range of industries reliant on Nokia’s technology. The segment is positioned for core and radio-network technology and services leadership to lead the industry towards AI-native networks and 6G. The segment consists of three businesses: (i) Core Software, which includes cloud‑native mobile core software and AI‑driven operations, analytics and security software and related services; (ii) Radio Networks, which includes radio access products across all 3GPP technology generations, related network management and services and (iii) Technology Standards which shapes global connectivity standards through research and innovation, manages Nokia’s industry-leading patent portfolio, and monetizes Nokia’s patents through licensing. Portfolio Businesses Portfolio Businesses include a set of units that are not considered core to the company’s long-term strategy. These units operate across different areas of the portfolio and continue to serve their respective customers and markets, while the company evaluates strategic options for their future development and ownership. As of Q2 2026 Portfolio Businesses comprise Site Implementation and Outside Plant, and Microwave Radio businesses. Fixed Wireless Access CPE and Enterprise Campus Edge businesses which were previously part of Portfolio Businesses are presented as discontinued operations beginning from Q2 2026. Group Common and Other Despite not being a reportable segment, Nokia also provides segment-level information for Group Common and Other. Group Common and Other includes certain corporate-level and centrally managed expenses and revenues. 22 October 2026 17 |

| 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND DISPOSAL GROUPS HELD FOR SALE As part of the strategy work that led to Nokia's new strategy and reorganization of its business into two primary operating segments, Nokia identified several units which were not seen as core to the future of the company's strategy. These units were moved into a dedicated operating segment called Portfolio Businesses beginning from 1 January 2026 while the company continued to assess the best value creating opportunity for them. For more details, refer to Note 2. Segment Information. During the first half of 2026, Nokia's management prepared a coordinated plan to dispose of the businesses in its Portfolio Businesses segment. In relation to this, on 30 April 2026 Nokia and Inseego announced that they had signed an agreement in which Inseego will acquire Nokia’s Fixed Wireless Access CPE (FWA) business. Accordingly, Nokia classified the FWA business as held for sale and presents it as a discontinued operation beginning from the second quarter of 2026. The acquisition of the FWA business by Inseego was completed on 1 October 2026. Under the terms of the acquisition, and Nokia’s USD 10 million cash investment completed in conjunction with the acquisition, Nokia received an equity ownership stake in Inseego in the form of approximately 1.9 million shares of Inseego common stock, representing an approximately 11% ownership interest. Nokia also received warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to approximately 0.8 million shares of common stock, at an exercise price of USD 4.26 per share. In addition, the consideration transferred includes elements of engineering support and profit sharing some of which are contingent on future performance. In the second quarter of 2026, Nokia also considered the sale of its Enterprise Campus Edge (ECE) business to be highly probable and hence classified it as held for sale and a discontinued operation beginning from the second quarter of 2026. On 13 October 2026, Nokia announced that it had signed a definitive agreement regarding the proposed acquisition by AURELIUS of the ECE business. The planned transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions.

NET SALES Nokia provides net sales information disaggregated by region as it considers its geographic regions to primarily depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. In addition, Nokia discloses net sales by its customer type. Each operating segment consists of customers that operate in all regions. No segment has a specific revenue concentration in any region. Net sales information by region and customer type is presented for continuing operations only.

| 5. 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 93% of its defined benefit obligations and 97% of the plan assets at 30 September 2026. 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 30 September 2026, the weighted average discount rates used in remeasurement of the most significant plans were as follows (comparatives at 31 December 2025): US Pension 6.1% (5.0%), US OPEB 6.1% (5.0%), Germany 4.5% (3.9%) and UK 6.6% (5.7%). The funded status of Nokia’s defined benefit plans (before the effect of the asset ceiling) increased from 136%, or EUR 4 893 million, at 30 June 2026 to 140% or EUR 5 068 million, at 30 September 2026. During the quarter (comparatives during the quarter ending 30 June 2026) the global defined benefit plan asset portfolio was invested approximately 49% (51%) in insurance contracts, 39% (38%) fixed income and cash, 7% (6%) in equities and 5% (5%) in other asset classes, mainly private equity and real estate.

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 30 September 2026, Nokia has recognized deferred tax assets of EUR 3.7 billion (EUR 3.6 billion at 31 December 2025). In addition, at 30 September 2026, Nokia has unrecognized deferred tax assets of approximately EUR 5 billion (EUR 5 billion at 31 December 2025), 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. 22 October 2026 22 |
| 7. 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. The 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.

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. 22 October 2026 23 |

| 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. 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. 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. 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 less capital expenditures, net of investment grants received. Free cash flow is the cash that Nokia generates after investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, net of investment grants received, 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. Capital expenditures Purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (excluding assets acquired under business combinations). Capital expenditures is used to refer to 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. Recurring/one-time measures are used 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. Adjusted profit/(loss) is used to provide a structured presentation when describing the cash flows.
