Note 1 relating to non-IFRS results:Non-IFRS results exclude special items for
all periods. In addition, non-IFRS results exclude intangible asset
amortization, other purchase price accounting related items and inventory value
adjustments arising from i) the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks and ii) all
business acquisitions completed after June 30, 2008. More specific information
about the exclusions from the non-IFRS results may be found in our complete
interim report with tables on pages 3-4, 13-15 and 18 for the quarterly periods
and pages 28-30 and 32 for the full year 2010 and 2009.
Nokia believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide meaningful
supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokia's
performance by excluding the above-described items that may not be indicative
of Nokia's business operating results. These non-IFRS financial measures should
not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes to the equivalent IFRS measure(s),
but should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS
measure(s) in the reported results. A reconciliation of the non-IFRS results to
our reported results for Q4 2010 and Q4 2009 as well as for full year 2010 and
2009 can be found in the tables on pages 11, 13-16 and 27-32 of our complete
interim report with tables. A reconciliation of our Q3 2010 non-IFRS results
can be found on pages 12-13 and 15-19 of our Q3 2010 complete interim report
with tables that was published on October 21, 2010.
FOURTH QUARTER 2010 HIGHLIGHTS
- Nokia net sales of EUR 12.7 billion in Q4 2010, up 6% year-on-year and 23%
sequentially (flat and up 24% at constant currency).
- Devices & Services net sales of EUR 8.5 billion in Q4 2010, up 4%
year-on-year and 18% sequentially (down 3% and up 19% at constant currency).
- Services net sales of EUR 201 million in Q4 2010, up 21% year-on-year and 26%
sequentially; billings of EUR 352 million, up 57% year-on-year and 8%
sequentially.
- Nokia total mobile device volumes of 123.7 million units in Q4 2010, down 3%
year-on-year and up 12% sequentially.
- Nokia converged mobile device (smartphone and mobile computer) volumes of
28.3 million units in Q4 2010, up 36% year-on-year and 7% sequentially.
- Nokia mobile device ASP (including services revenue) of EUR 69 in Q4 2010, up
from EUR 64 in Q4 2009 and EUR 65 in Q3 2010.
- Devices & Services gross margin of 29.2% in Q4 2010, down from 34.3% in Q4
2009 and up from 29.0% in Q3 2010.
- Devices & Services non-IFRS operating margin of 11.3% in Q4 2010, down from
15.4% in Q4 2009 and up from 10.5% in Q3 2010.
- NAVTEQ net sales of EUR 309 million in Q4 2010, up 37% year-on-year and 23%
sequentially (up 33% and 27% at constant currency).
- Nokia Siemens Networks net sales of EUR 4.0 billion in Q4 2010, up 9%
year-on-year and 35% sequentially (up 7% and 37% at constant currency).
- Nokia Siemens Networks non-IFRS operating margin of 3.7% in Q4 2010, down
from 5.5% in Q4 2009 and up from -3.9% in Q3 2010.
- Nokia operating cash flow of EUR 2.4 billion and cash generated from
operations of EUR 2.5 billion in Q4 2010.
- Total cash and other liquid assets of EUR 12.3 billion and net cash and other
liquid assets of EUR 7.0 billion at the end of Q4 2010.
- Nokia taxes continued to be unfavorably impacted by Nokia Siemens Networks
taxes as no tax benefits are recognized for certain Nokia Siemens Networks
deferred tax items. In Q4 2010, this was more than offset by a favorable profit
mix and certain current quarter benefits both in Devices & Services and in
Nokia Siemens Networks taxes. If Nokia's estimated long-term tax rate of 26%
had been applied, non-IFRS Nokia EPS would have been approximately 2.5 Euro
cents lower in Q4 2010.
FULL YEAR 2010 HIGHLIGHTS

Nokia Group
Nokia's fourth quarter 2010 net sales increased 6% to EUR 12.7 billion,
compared with EUR 12.0 billion in the fourth quarter 2009, and increased 23%
compared with EUR 10.3 billion in the third quarter 2010. At constant currency,
group net sales would have been flat year-on-year and increased 24%
sequentially.
The following chart sets out the year-on-year and sequential growth rates in
our net sales on a reported basis and at constant currency for the periods
indicated.

Nokia's fourth quarter 2010 reported operating profit was EUR 884 million,
compared with an operating profit of EUR 1 141 million in the fourth quarter
2009 and an operating profit of EUR 403 million in the third quarter 2010.
Nokia's fourth quarter 2010 reported operating margin was 7.0%, compared with
9.5% in the fourth quarter 2009 and 3.9% in the third quarter 2010. Nokia's
fourth quarter 2010 non-IFRS operating profit was EUR 1 090 million, compared
with EUR 1 473 million in the fourth quarter 2009 and EUR 634 million in the
third quarter 2010. Nokia's fourth quarter 2010 non-IFRS operating margin was
8.6%, compared with 12.3% in the fourth quarter 2009 and 6.2% in the third
quarter 2010. The year-on-year decrease in Nokia's non-IFRS operating margin
resulted from a decline in Devices & Services and Nokia Siemens Networks'
non-IFRS operating margins that were only partially offset by an increase in
NAVTEQ's non-IFRS operating margin. The sequential increase in Nokia's non-IFRS
operating margin reflected improved non-IFRS operating margin in all three
reportable segments.
The following chart sets out Nokia Group's cash flow (for the periods

Note 2: Total cash and other liquid assets minus interest-bearing liabilities.
Year-on-year and sequentially, the increase in operating cash flow was
primarily driven by net working capital improvements in both Devices & Services
and Nokia Siemens Networks. Approximately EUR 600 million of these net working
capital improvements were driven by the timing of customer payments and
value-added tax refunds, which were received in Q4 2010 instead of subsequent
periods. In addition, on a sequential basis, we did not experience the cash
outflows related to foreign exchange hedging activities that we had in the
third quarter 2010, and our operating cash flow also benefited from improved
net profit.
Both total as well as net cash and other liquid assets increased in the fourth
quarter 2010 as a result of positive overall cash generation.

Year-on-year, the 4% net sales increase resulted from higher ASPs partially
offset by lower device volumes in most regions. Our device volumes in the
fourth quarter 2010 were adversely affected by shortages of certain components,
which we expect to continue to impact our business at least through the end of
the first quarter 2011, as well as by a number of supply and logistics
challenges driven by the tight component availability during the quarter.
Sequentially, the 18% net sales increase reflected higher ASPs, as well as
higher device volumes in most regions, partially offset by a number of supply
and logistics challenges driven by the tight component availability during the
fourth quarter 2010. At constant currency, Devices & Services net sales would
have decreased 3% year-on-year and increased 19% sequentially.
Of our total Devices & Services net sales, services contributed EUR 201 million
in the fourth quarter 2010, compared with EUR 166 million in the fourth quarter
2009 and EUR 159 million in the third quarter 2010. Services billings in the
fourth quarter 2010 were EUR 352 million, compared with EUR 224 million in the
fourth quarter 2009 and EUR 325 million in the third quarter 2010.

In the fourth quarter 2010, the overall industry mobile device volumes were 402
million units, based on Nokia's preliminary estimate, representing an increase
of 12% year-on-year and 11% sequentially. Nokia's preliminary estimated mobile
device market share was 31% in the fourth quarter 2010, down from an estimated
35% in the fourth quarter 2009 and up from an estimated 30% in the third
quarter 2010 (based on Nokia's revised definition of the industry mobile device
market share applicable beginning in 2010 and applied retrospectively to 2009
for comparative purposes only).
Of the total industry mobile device volumes, converged mobile device industry
volumes in the fourth quarter 2010 increased to 90.5 million units, based on
Nokia's preliminary estimate, representing an increase of 73% year-on-year and
29% sequentially. Nokia's preliminary estimated share of the converged mobile
device market was 31% in the fourth quarter 2010, compared with an estimated
40% in the fourth quarter 2009 and an estimated 38% in the third quarter 2010.

Nokia's 3% year-on-year decrease in global mobile device volumes during the
fourth quarter 2010 was driven primarily by the intense competitive
environment, as well as certain component shortages and a number of supply and
logistics challenges resulting from the tight component availability during the
quarter. This volume decline was somewhat offset by a year-on-year improvement
in the overall market environment. On a sequential basis, Nokia's 12% increase
in global mobile device volumes was primarily due to increased seasonal demand
for our devices offset to some extent by a number of supply and logistics
challenges driven by the tight component availability during the fourth quarter
2010.

The year-on-year 7% increase in our ASP was primarily due to converged mobile
devices representing a greater proportion of our overall mobile device sales
and the appreciation of certain currencies against the Euro, offset to some
extent by general price erosion and a higher proportion of lower-priced
converged mobile device sales. On a sequential basis, the 6% increase in our
ASP was primarily driven by an increased proportion of sales of higher priced
converged mobile devices and foreign exchange hedging, offset to some extent by
the depreciation of certain currencies against the Euro. The 17% year-on-year
decline in our converged mobile devices ASPs was mainly driven by general price
erosion and an increase in the proportion of lower-priced converged mobile
devices sales. The 14% sequential increase in our converged mobile devices ASPs
was mainly driven by an increased proportion of sales of higher prices
converged mobile devices during the fourth quarter 2010.
Profitability.Devices & Services gross profit (reported and non-IFRS) decreased
12% to EUR 2.5 billion, compared with EUR 2.8 billion in the fourth quarter
2009, and increased 19% compared to EUR 2.1 billion in the third quarter 2010.
The gross margin (reported and non-IFRS) was 29.2% in the fourth quarter 2010,
compared with 34.3% in the fourth quarter 2009 and 29.0% in the third quarter
2010. The year-on-year gross margin decline was primarily due to material cost
erosion being less - driven by both shortages of certain components and the
appreciation of certain currencies against the Euro - than general product
price erosion, as well as a negative impact from foreign exchange hedging. The
impact of these factors was offset to some extent by converged mobile devices
representing a greater proportion of our overall mobile device volumes.
Sequentially, the gross margin increase was primarily due to an increased
proportion of sales of higher priced mobile devices and the depreciation of
certain currencies against the Euro, offset to a large extent by a negative
one-quarter impact from foreign exchange hedging as well as lower royalty
income in the fourth quarter 2010. Nokia sees shortages of certain components
impacting our business at least through the end of first quarter 2011.
Devices & Services reported operating profit decreased 16% to EUR 1 018
million, compared with EUR 1 219 million in the fourth quarter 2009, and
increased 26% compared with EUR 807 million in the third quarter 2010. The
reported operating margin was 12.0% in the fourth quarter 2010, compared with
14.9% in the fourth quarter 2009 and 11.3% in the third quarter 2010. Devices &
Services non-IFRS operating profit decreased 24% to EUR 961 million compared
with EUR 1 257 million in the fourth quarter 2009, and increased 28% compared
with EUR 750 million in the third quarter 2010. The non-IFRS operating margin
was 11.3% in the fourth quarter 2010, compared with 15.4% in the fourth quarter
2009 and 10.5% in the third quarter 2010. The year-on-year decrease in non-IFRS
operating profit was driven primarily by the lower gross margin. Sequentially,
the increase in non-IFRS operating profit was primarily due to higher net
sales, offset to some extent by higher operating expenses.
NAVTEQ
Net Sales.Fourth quarter 2010 NAVTEQ reported net sales increased 37%
year-on-year to EUR 309 million, compared with EUR 225 million in the fourth
quarter 2009, and increased 23% compared to EUR 252 million in the third
quarter 2010. The year-on-year and sequential increase in reported net sales
was primarily driven by improved sales of map licenses to mobile device
customers as well as higher navigation uptake rates in the automotive industry.
Sequentially, net sales also benefited from a stronger market for personal
navigation devices (PNDs). At constant currency, NAVTEQ net sales would have
increased 33% year-on-year and 27% sequentially.
Profitability.In the fourth quarter 2010, NAVTEQ's gross profit (reported and
non-IFRS) increased 37% to EUR 271 million, compared with EUR 195 million in
the fourth quarter 2009, and increased 27% compared with EUR 213 million in the
third quarter 2010. NAVTEQ's gross margin (reported and non-IFRS) increased to
87.7%, compared to a reported gross margin of 86.7% and a non-IFRS gross margin
of 87.1% in the fourth quarter 2009, and 84.5% (reported and non-IFRS) in the
third quarter 2010.
In the fourth quarter 2010, NAVTEQ's reported operating loss decreased to EUR
19 million, compared with a EUR 56 million loss in the fourth quarter 2009 and
a EUR 48 million loss in the third quarter 2010. The reported operating margin
was -6.1% in the fourth quarter 2010, compared with -24.9% in the fourth
quarter 2009 and -19.0% in the third quarter 2010. NAVTEQ's non-IFRS operating
profit was EUR 100 million, compared with EUR 54 million in the fourth quarter
2009 and EUR 74 million in the third quarter 2010. The non-IFRS operating
margin was 32.4% in the fourth quarter 2010, compared with 24.0% in the fourth
quarter 2009 and 29.4% in the third quarter 2010. The year-on-year and
sequential increase in NAVTEQ's non-IFRS operating margin was primarily due to
higher net sales, offset to some extent by higher operating expenses.
Nokia Siemens Networks
Net Sales.The following chart sets out Nokia Siemens Networks net sales for the
periods indicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequential growth rates, by
geographic area.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total 3 961 3 625 9% 2 943 35%
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The year-on-year 9% increase in net sales was primarily driven by growth in
both the product and services businesses in most regions. The sequential 35%
increase in net sales was primarily driven by a seasonally stronger
infrastructure market in the fourth quarter 2010. Net sales in the fourth
quarter 2010 also benefited from an improvement in overall component
availability. Of total Nokia Siemens Networks net sales, services contributed
EUR 1.8 billion in the fourth quarter 2010, compared to EUR 1.7 billion in the
fourth quarter 2009 and EUR 1.4 billion in the third quarter 2010. At constant
currency, Nokia Siemens Networks net sales would have increased 7% year-on-year
and 37% sequentially.
Profitability.Nokia Siemens Networks reported gross profit decreased 3% to EUR
1 042 million compared with EUR 1 071 million in the fourth quarter 2009, and
increased 48% compared with EUR 702 million in the third quarter 2010. The
reported gross margin was 26.3% in the fourth quarter 2010, compared with 29.5%
in the fourth quarter 2009 and 23.9% in the third quarter 2010. Nokia Siemens
Networks non-IFRS gross profit in the fourth quarter 2010 decreased 6% to EUR 1
045 million compared with EUR 1 108 million in the fourth quarter 2009, and
increased 42% compared with EUR 733 million in the third quarter 2010. The
non-IFRS gross margin was 26.4% in the fourth quarter 2010, compared with 30.6%
in the fourth quarter 2009 and 24.9% in the third quarter 2010. The lower
year-on-year non-IFRS gross margin in the fourth quarter 2010 was primarily due
to general price pressure on certain products, a higher proportion of lower
margin products in the business mix and to some extent project execution
related challenges in the Middle East and Africa. The higher sequential
non-IFRS gross margin in the fourth quarter 2010 was primarily due to a more
favourable business mix, strong seasonal net sales and the absence of certain
items that had a negative impact on the gross margin in the third quarter 2010.
Nokia Siemens Networks fourth quarter 2010 reported operating profit was EUR 1
million, compared with a reported operating profit of EUR 17 million in the
fourth quarter 2009 and a reported operating loss of EUR 282 million in the
third quarter 2010. The reported operating margin was 0.0% in the fourth
quarter 2010, compared with 0.5% in the fourth quarter 2009 and -9.6% in the
third quarter 2010. Nokia Siemens Networks non-IFRS operating profit was EUR
145 million in the fourth quarter 2010, compared with a non-IFRS operating
profit of EUR 201 million in the fourth quarter 2009 and a non-IFRS operating
loss of EUR 116 million in the third quarter 2010. The non-IFRS operating
margin was 3.7% in the fourth quarter 2010, compared with 5.5% in the fourth
quarter 2009 and -3.9% in the third quarter 2010. The year-on-year decline in
Nokia Siemens Networks non-IFRS operating profit was primarily due to the lower
gross margin, which was to some extent offset by higher net sales and lower
operating expenses. The sequential increase in Nokia Siemens Networks non-IFRS
operating profit was primarily due to higher net sales and gross margin, offset
to some extent by higher operating expenses in the fourth quarter 2010.
