Notable information

In this annual report, Nokia Siemens Networks reiterates that, longer-term,
Nokia Siemens Networks continues to target for its non-IFRS operating margin to
be between 5% and 10%. 

Also, Nokia Siemens Networks notes in the Chairman's review that Nokia Siemens
Networks expects the mobile broadband market to be relatively flat in 2013,
compared to 2012. 

In the report, Nokia Siemens Networks discloses that, for financial reporting
purposes on a standalone basis, it currently has two operating segments: Mobile
Broadband and Global Services. Nokia Siemens Networks provides detailed
disclosure of certain financial information for these operating segments
including net sales and operating profit on a non-IFRS before specific items
basis for 2012, 2011, and 2010. In 2012, Nokia Siemens Networks' Mobile
Broadband net sales were EUR 6.0 billion and operating profit non-IFRS before
specific items was EUR 488 million, or 8.1% of net sales. In 2012, Nokia
Siemens Networks' Global Services net sales were EUR 6.9 billion and operating
profit non-IFRS before specific items was EUR 332 million, or 4.8% of net
sales. In 2011, Nokia Siemens Networks' Mobile Broadband net sales were EUR 6.3
billion and operating profit non-IFRS before specific items was EUR 214
million, or 3.4% of net sales. In 2011, Nokia Siemens Networks' Global Services
net sales were EUR 6.7 billion and operating profit non-IFRS before specific
items was EUR 229 million, or 3.4% of net sales. For Nokia Group financial
reporting purposes Nokia Siemens Networks remains as one reportable segment. 

NON-IFRS BEFORE SPECIFIC ITEMS INFORMATION
This release includes information on a non-IFRS, or underlying business
performance, basis that excludes specific items for all periods. In addition,
such results exclude intangible asset amortization, other purchase price
accounting related items and inventory value adjustments arising from the
formation of Nokia Siemens Networks and from all business acquisitions. Nokia
believes that these financial measures provide meaningful supplemental
information to both management and investors regarding Nokia's performance by
excluding the above-described items that may not be indicative of business
operating results. These financial measures should not be viewed in isolation
or as substitutes to the equivalent IFRS measure(s), but should be used in
conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measure(s) in the reported
results.
