FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR NOKIA’S CONTINUING OPERATIONS

 

·                  Net sales in Q3 2015 of EUR 3.0 billion (EUR 3.1 billion in Q3 2014), down 2% year-on-year (down 10% year-on-year on a constant currency basis)

·                  Non-IFRS diluted EPS in Q3 2015 of EUR 0.08 (EUR 0.09 in Q3 2014), a decrease of 11% year-on-year; reported diluted EPS in Q3 2015 of EUR 0.05 (EUR 0.57 in Q3 2014). Reported diluted EPS in Q3 2014 benefitted from the recognition of a deferred tax asset due to Nokia’s improved operating performance

 

Nokia Networks

 

·                  2% year-on-year net sales decrease (11% year-on-year decrease on a constant currency basis), as strong net sales growth in Greater China partially offset decreases in North America and Europe. On a sequential basis, strong net sales growth in Greater China also helped to offset the impact of industry seasonality

·                  Strong non-IFRS gross margin of 39.5% due to both Global Services and Mobile Broadband, with particular strength in the systems integration business line within Global Services

·                  Non-IFRS operating margin of 13.6% reflected strong operational performance and continued focus on execution excellence. Non-IFRS operating profit decreased 2% year-on-year

 

Nokia Technologies

 

·                  7% year-on-year net sales growth, primarily due to higher intellectual property licensing income

·                  4% year-on-year decrease in non-IFRS operating profit, primarily due to higher investments in business activities which target long-term growth opportunities

As highlighted in the announcement regarding the proposed sale of HERE on August 3, 2015, Nokia reports HERE as part of discontinued operations from the third quarter 2015 onwards. Please refer to “Notes to financial statements — Basis of preparation” for more information. Non-IFRS results exclude transaction and other related costs resulting from both the sale of substantially all of Nokia’s Devices & Services business to Microsoft (the “Sale of the D&S Business”), as well as the proposed sale of HERE, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring related costs, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. For a detailed discussion, please refer to the year to date discussion and the non-IFRS to reported reconciliation note to the financial statements. A reconciliation of our Q2 2015 non-IFRS results to our reported results can be found in our complete Q2 2015 interim report with tables on page 33 published on July 30, 2015. A reconciliation of our Q3 2014 non-IFRS results to our reported results can be found in our complete Q3 2014 interim report with tables on pages 22-27 published on October 23, 2014.

amortization and depreciation, HERE operating margin in the first nine months of 2015 was 10.1%, compared to 1.6% in the first nine months of 2014.

 

CEO STATEMENT

 

Nokia’s third-quarter can be summarized in two words: progress and performance. Progress in moving the Alcatel-Lucent transaction closer to completion and solid performance across all of our businesses.

 

The performance at Nokia Networks was the highlight of the quarter, and allowed us to raise our full-year outlook for that business. Even if I am not pleased with the overall sales development, our strong profitability is testament to the strength of our operating model. We said earlier in the year that we would redouble our efforts to ensure our cost structure was aligned to market conditions, and the success of those efforts is very clear in our results.

 

Nokia Technologies also had a solid quarter, with year-on-year growth in licensing revenues. Our commitment to bringing innovative new products to market was apparent with the announcement of the OZO virtual-reality camera. OZO has been extremely well-received and will be launched officially before the end of the year.

 

During the quarter we made significant progress towards the closing of our transaction with Alcatel-Lucent. This progress was reflected in our announcement on October 21 that we had received all the necessary regulatory approvals to allow us to proceed with the public exchange offer. The Nokia Board of Directors has recently called for an Extraordinary General Meeting, to be held on December 2, to request shareholder approval for the transaction. We currently expect the settlement date of the initial exchange offer to be in the first quarter of 2016.

 

In advance of that offer, we announced a planned EUR 7 billion capital structure optimization program. That program, in my view, provides an excellent balance of significant capital return to shareholders while still ensuring we have strategic flexibility for the future.

 

Progress was also clear in our integration planning work. As announced separately, we now have the confidence to target the achievement of our synergy savings goals one year earlier than originally planned. I continue to believe that the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent provides a very strong long-term value creation opportunity.

NOKIA’S CONTINUING OPERATIONS IN Q3 2015

 

FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

 

The following discussion is of Nokia’s continuing operations reported results for the third quarter 2015, which comprise the results of Nokia’s two continuing businesses — Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies, as well as Group Common Functions. Comparisons are given to the third quarter 2014 and second quarter 2015 results, unless otherwise indicated.

Net sales

 

Nokia’s continuing operations net sales decreased 2% year-on-year and increased 4% sequentially. At constant currency, Nokia’s continuing operations net sales would have decreased 10% year-on-year and would have increased 6% sequentially.

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

The year-on-year decrease in Nokia’s continuing operations net sales in the third quarter 2015 was primarily due to lower net sales in Nokia Networks, partially offset by growth in Nokia Technologies.

 

Sequential discussion

 

The sequential increase in Nokia’s continuing operations net sales in the third quarter 2015 was primarily due to growth in Nokia Networks, partially offset by lower net sales in Nokia Technologies.

 

Non-IFRS Operating profit

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

Nokia’s continuing operations non-IFRS operating profit increased 4% year-on-year in the third quarter 2015, primarily due to a lower non-IFRS operating loss in Group Common Functions, partially offset by lower non-IFRS operating profit in Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies.

 

Nokia’s continuing operations non-IFRS other income and expenses was an income of EUR 20 million in third quarter 2015, compared to an expense of EUR 17 million in the third quarter 2014. This change was primarily due to higher other income in Group Common Functions related to Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds. During the second quarter 2015, Nokia Growth Partners sold its holdings in Ganji.com, a major online local services marketplace platform in China, to 58.com. Related to the transaction, Nokia recorded a gain of approximately EUR 10 million in the third quarter 2015. The final amount and timing of additional income or expense will depend on the value and date at which the venture funds liquidate the portion of the consideration that was received in shares.

 

On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a significantly positive impact on non-IFRS gross profit, and a negative impact on non-IFRS operating expenses, resulting in a significantly positive net impact on non-IFRS operating profit in the third quarter 2015.

 

Sequential discussion

 

Nokia’s continuing operations non-IFRS operating profit decreased 4% sequentially in the third quarter 2015, primarily due to Group Common Functions shifting from a non-IFRS operating profit in the second quarter 2015 to a non-IFRS operating loss in the third quarter 2015 and, to a lesser extent, lower non-IFRS operating profit in Nokia Technologies, partially offset by higher non-IFRS operating profit in Nokia Networks.

 

Nokia’s continuing operations non-IFRS other income and expenses was an income of EUR 20 million in the third quarter 2015, compared to income of EUR 114 million in the second quarter 2015. This change was primarily due to lower other income in Group Common Functions related to Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds. During the second quarter 2015, Nokia Growth Partners sold its holdings in Ganji.com, a major online local services marketplace platform in China, to 58.com. Related to the transaction, Nokia recorded a gain of approximately EUR 10 million in the third quarter 2015, compared to a gain of approximately EUR 110 million in the second quarter 2015. The final amount and timing of additional income or expense will

depend on the value and date at which the venture funds liquidate the portion of the consideration that was received in shares.

 

On a sequential basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a negative impact on non-IFRS gross profit, and a slightly positive impact on non-IFRS operating expenses, resulting in a slightly negative net impact on non-IFRS operating profit in the third quarter 2015.

 

Non-IFRS Profit

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

Nokia’s continuing operations non-IFRS profit decreased 16% on a year-on-year basis in the third quarter 2015, primarily due to net negative fluctuation in non-IFRS financial income and expenses and higher non-IFRS tax expense, partially offset by higher non-IFRS operating profit.

 

The net negative fluctuation in non-IFRS financial income and expenses was primarily due to higher foreign exchange related losses and higher net interest expense.

 

Nokia’s continuing operations non-IFRS tax expense in the third quarter 2015 was based on a tax rate of approximately 24%, and this resulted in a higher non-IFRS tax expense than in the third quarter 2014. However, the tax expenses in the third quarter of 2014 and 2015 are not directly comparable, primarily due to Nokia’s deferred tax assets in Finland and Germany that were subject to valuation allowances during the third quarter of 2014 and re-recognized at the end of the third quarter 2014.

 

Sequential discussion

 

Sequentially, Nokia’s continuing operations non-IFRS profit decreased 12% in the third quarter 2015, primarily due to net negative fluctuation in non-IFRS financial income and expenses and lower non-IFRS operating profit, partially offset by lower non-IFRS tax expense.

 

The net negative fluctuation in non-IFRS financial income and expenses was primarily due to higher foreign exchange related losses, lower other financial income and higher net interest expense.

 

Nokia’s non-IFRS tax expense in the third quarter 2015 was based on a tax rate of approximately 24% compared to a tax rate of approximately 27% in the second quarter 2015.

Reported diluted EPS in Q3 2014 benefitted from the recognition of a deferred tax asset due to Nokia’s improved operating performance Nokia Networks • 2% year-on-year net sales decrease (11% year-on-year decrease on a constant currency basis), as strong net sales growth in Greater China partially offset decreases in North America and Europe. On a sequential basis, strong net sales growth in Greater China also helped to offset the impact of industry seasonality • Strong non-IFRS gross margin of 39.5% due to both Global Services and Mobile Broadband, with particular strength in the systems integration business line within Global Services • Non-IFRS operating margin of 13.6% reflected strong operational performance and continued focus on execution excellence. Non-IFRS operating profit decreased 2% year-on-year Nokia Technologies • 7% year-on-year net sales growth, primarily due to higher intellectual property licensing income • 4% year-on-year decrease in non-IFRS operating profit, primarily due to higher investments in business activities which target long-term growth opportunities results1 change change change Continuing operations Net sales 3 036 3 088 (2)% 2 919 4% 8 890 8 253 8% Nokia Technologies 162 152 7% 193 (16)% 621 430 44% Operating profit (non-IFRS) 475 457 4% 494 (4)% 1 215 1 097 11% Nokia Technologies 94 98 (4)% 112 (16)% 398 280 42% Operating margin % (non-IFRS) 14.8% 80bps 16.9% (130)bps 13.3% 40bps 15.6% 13.7% Profit 2 302 (92)% 338 (44)% 2 393 (71)% 188 695 EPS, EUR diluted 0.05 0.57 (91)% 0.09 (44)% 0.18 0.58 (69)% Net sales 283 262 8% 290 (2)% 834 3 129 (73)% EPS, EUR diluted (0.01) (0.42) 0.00 0.00 0.15 Nokia Corporation Interim Report October 29, 2015 1 Financial tables Year to date Cash & Cash flow Technologies Networks Outlook Nokia Profit(37)(1 552)10(19)638 Discontinued operations2 EPS, EUR diluted (non-IFRS)0.080.09(11)%0.09(11)%0.210.1817% Profit (non-IFRS)297354(16)%336(12)%81672712% Group Common Functions(10)(38)6927(77) Nokia Networks391397(2)%31325%789894(12)% Gross margin % (non-IFRS)42.7%42.1%60bps43.9%(120)bps42.1%42.1%0bps Nokia Networks2 8772 940(2)%2 7305%8 2807 8336% Net sales – constant currency(10)%6%(2)% Reported third quarter 2015 results1 Reported January-September 2015 EUR millionQ3'15Q3'14YoYQ2'15QoQQ1-Q3'15Q1-Q3'14YoY

CEO statement Nokia’s third-quarter can be summarized in two words: progress and performance. Progress in moving the Alcatel-Lucent transaction closer to completion and solid performance across all of our businesses. The performance at Nokia Networks was the highlight of the quarter, and allowed us to raise our full-year outlook for that business. Even if I am not pleased with the overall sales development, our strong profitability is testament to the strength of our operating model. We said earlier in the year that we would redouble our efforts to ensure our cost structure was aligned to market conditions, and the success of those efforts is very clear in our results. Nokia Technologies also had a solid quarter, with year-on-year growth in licensing revenues. Our commitment to bringing innovative new products to market was apparent with the announcement of the OZO virtual-reality camera. OZO has been extremely well-received and will be launched officially before the end of the year. During the quarter we made significant progress towards the closing of our transaction with Alcatel-Lucent. This progress was reflected in our announcement on October 21 that we had received all the necessary regulatory approvals to allow us to proceed with the public exchange offer. The Nokia Board of Directors has recently called for an Extraordinary General Meeting, to be held on December 2, to request shareholder approval for the transaction. We currently expect the settlement date of the initial exchange offer to be in the first quarter of 2016. In advance of that offer, we announced a planned EUR 7 billion capital structure optimization program. That program, in my view, provides an excellent balance of significant capital return to shareholders while still ensuring we have strategic flexibility for the future. Progress was also clear in our integration planning work. As announced separately, we now have the confidence to target the achievement of our synergy savings goals one year earlier than originally planned. I continue to believe that the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent provides a very strong long-term value creation opportunity.

Net sales Nokia’s continuing operations net sales decreased 2% year-on-year and increased 4% sequentially. At constant currency, Nokia’s continuing operations net sales would have decreased 10% year-on-year and would have increased 6% sequentially. Year-on-year discussion The year-on-year decrease in Nokia’s continuing operations net sales in the third quarter 2015 was primarily due to lower net sales in Nokia Networks, partially offset by growth in Nokia Technologies. Sequential discussion The sequential increase in Nokia’s continuing operations net sales in the third quarter 2015 was primarily due to growth in Nokia Networks, partially offset by lower net sales in Nokia Technologies. Non-IFRS Operating profit Year-on-year discussion Nokia’s continuing operations non-IFRS operating profit increased 4% year-on-year in the third quarter 2015, primarily due to a lower non-IFRS operating loss in Group Common Functions, partially offset by lower non-IFRS operating profit in Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies. Nokia’s continuing operations non-IFRS other income and expenses was an income of EUR 20 million in third quarter 2015, compared to an expense of EUR 17 million in the third quarter 2014. This change was primarily due to higher other income in Group Common Functions related to Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds. During the second quarter 2015, Nokia Growth Partners sold its holdings in Ganji.com, a major online local services marketplace platform in China, to 58.com. Related to the transaction, Nokia recorded a gain of approximately EUR 10 million in the third quarter 2015. The final amount and timing of additional income or expense will depend on the value and date at which the venture funds liquidate the portion of the consideration that was received in shares. On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a significantly positive impact on non-IFRS gross profit, and a negative impact on non-IFRS operating expenses, resulting in a significantly positive net impact on non-IFRS operating profit in the third quarter 2015. Sequential discussion Nokia’s continuing operations non-IFRS operating profit decreased 4% sequentially in the third quarter 2015, primarily due to Group Common Functions shifting from a non-IFRS operating profit in the second quarter 2015 to a non-IFRS operating loss in the third quarter 2015 and, to a lesser extent, lower non-IFRS operating profit in Nokia Technologies, partially offset by higher non-IFRS operating profit in Nokia Networks. Nokia’s continuing operations non-IFRS other income and expenses was an income of EUR 20 million in the third quarter 2015, compared to income of EUR 114 million in the second quarter 2015. This change was primarily due to lower other income in Group Common Functions related to Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds. During the second quarter 2015, Nokia Growth Partners sold its holdings in Ganji.com, a major online local services marketplace platform in China, to 58.com. Related to the transaction, Nokia recorded a gain of approximately EUR 10 million in the third quarter 2015, compared to a gain of approximately EUR 110 million in the second quarter 2015. The final amount and timing of additional income or expense will depend on the value and date at which the venture funds liquidate the portion of the consideration that was received in shares. On a sequential basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a negative impact on non-IFRS gross profit, and a slightly positive impact on non-IFRS operating expenses, resulting in a slightly negative net impact on non-IFRS operating profit in the third quarter 2015. Non-IFRS Profit Year-on-year discussion Nokia’s continuing operations non-IFRS profit decreased 16% on a year-on-year basis in the third quarter 2015, primarily due to net negative fluctuation in non-IFRS financial income and expenses and higher non-IFRS tax expense, partially offset by higher non-IFRS operating profit. The net negative fluctuation in non-IFRS financial income and expenses was primarily due to higher foreign exchange related losses and higher net interest expense. Nokia’s continuing operations non-IFRS tax expense in the third quarter 2015 was based on a tax rate of approximately 24%, and this resulted in a higher non-IFRS tax expense than in the third quarter 2014. However, the tax expenses in the third quarter of 2014 and 2015 are not directly comparable, primarily due to Nokia’s deferred tax assets in Finland and Germany that were subject to valuation allowances during the third quarter of 2014 and re-recognized at the end of the third quarter 2014. Sequential discussion Sequentially, Nokia’s continuing operations non-IFRS profit decreased 12% in the third quarter 2015, primarily due to net negative fluctuation in non-IFRS financial income and expenses and lower non-IFRS operating profit, partially offset by lower non-IFRS tax expense. The net negative fluctuation in non-IFRS financial income and expenses was primarily due to higher foreign exchange related losses, lower other financial income and higher net interest expense.

In the third quarter 2015, Global Services represented 45% of Nokia Networks net sales, compared to 43% in the third quarter 2014 and 49% in the second quarter 2015. Year-on-year discussion The year-on-year decrease of 2% in Nokia Networks net sales in the third quarter 2015 was primarily due to a lower net sales in Mobile Broadband, partially offset by growth in Global Services. Mobile Broadband net sales decreased 6% year-on-year in the third quarter 2015, primarily due to lower net sales in overall radio technologies, which benefitted in the year-ago quarter from a significant LTE network deployment at a major customer, partially offset by growth in core networking technologies. Within overall radio technologies, small cells grew strongly in percentage terms on a year-on-year basis. Global Services net sales increased 3% year-on-year in the third quarter 2015, primarily due to growth in the systems integration business line, consistent with our ongoing focus on services-led and professional services business. At constant currency, Nokia Networks net sales would have decreased 11% year-on-year. Sequential discussion The sequential increase of 5% in Nokia Networks net sales in the third quarter 2015 was primarily due to growth in Mobile Broadband, partially offset by lower net sales in Global Services. Mobile Broadband net sales increased 13% sequentially in the third quarter 2015, primarily due to growth in overall radio technologies, as well as core networking technologies. Within radio technologies, the growth was primarily due to LTE and 3G. In addition, small cells grew strongly in percentage terms on a sequential basis. Global Services net sales decreased 2% sequentially in the third quarter 2015, primarily due to lower net sales in the care, network implementation and network planning and optimization business lines, partially offset by growth in the systems integration business line.

In Asia-Pacific, net sales increased 2%, primarily driven by higher net sales in Mobile Broadband, partially offset by lower net sales in Global Services. The overall increase in Asia-Pacific was primarily due to growth in India and Vietnam, partially offset by lower net sales in Japan and Myanmar. In Middle East and Africa, net sales increased 1%, primarily driven by slightly higher net sales in Mobile Broadband, partially offset by slightly lower net sales in Global Services. The overall increase in Middle East and Africa was primarily due to growth in Africa. In Europe, net sales decreased 3%, primarily driven by lower net sales in Global Services, and to a lesser extent, Mobile Broadband. The overall decrease in Europe was primarily due to lower net sales in Ukraine and Finland, partially offset by growth in France and the United Kingdom. Non-IFRS Operating profit Year-on-year discussion On a year-on-year basis, Nokia Networks non-IFRS operating profit decreased slightly, primarily due to lower non-IFRS operating profit in Mobile Broadband, partially offset by higher non-IFRS operating profit in Global Services. The decrease in Mobile Broadband non-IFRS operating profit was primarily due to lower non-IFRS gross profit, partially offset by lower non-IFRS operating expenses. The increase in non-IFRS operating profit in Global Services was primarily due to higher non-IFRS gross profit and, to a lesser extent, lower non-IFRS operating expenses. Nokia Networks non-IFRS gross margin increased slightly, primarily due to improvements in non-IFRS gross margin in both Global Services and Mobile Broadband, partially offset by a negative mix shift with a higher proportion of Global Services net sales and a lower proportion of Mobile Broadband net sales. The non-IFRS gross margin performance in Global Services was primarily due to strength in the systems integration business line. The non-IFRS gross margin performance in Mobile Broadband was primarily due to a positive mix shift with a higher proportion of core networking technologies net sales and a lower proportion of overall radio technologies net sales. The non-IFRS gross profit decrease in Mobile Broadband was primarily driven by overall radio technologies and more challenging market conditions, partially offset by strength in core networking technologies. The non-IFRS gross profit increase in Global Services was primarily due to strength in the systems integration and care business lines, partially offset by the network implementation and network planning and optimization business lines. The slight increase in Nokia Networks non-IFRS research and development expenses was primarily due to increased investments in growth areas including LTE, small cells, and 5G. The slight increase in Nokia Networks non-IFRS selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher personnel expenses. The increases in both non-IFRS research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses were partially offset by continued operational improvement. On a constant currency basis, non-IFRS research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses decreased year-on-year in the third quarter 2015. Nokia Networks non-IFRS other income and expenses was an income of EUR 3 million in the third quarter 2015, compared to an expense of EUR 12 million in the third quarter 2014. On a year-on-year basis, the change in Nokia Networks non-IFRS other income and expenses was primarily due to lower indirect tax expenses. On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a significantly positive impact on non-IFRS gross profit, and a negative impact on non-IFRS operating expenses, resulting in a significantly positive net impact on non-IFRS operating profit in the third quarter 2015. Sequential discussion On a sequential basis, Nokia Networks non-IFRS operating profit increased primarily due to higher non-IFRS operating profit in Mobile Broadband, partially offset by lower non-IFRS operating profit in Global Services. The increase in Mobile Broadband non-IFRS operating profit was due to higher non-IFRS gross profit and lower non-IFRS operating expenses. The decrease in Global Services non-IFRS operating profit was primarily due to lower non-IFRS gross profit, partially offset by lower non-IFRS operating expenses. Nokia Networks non-IFRS gross margin decreased due to lower non-IFRS gross margin in both Mobile Broadband and Global Services, partially offset by a positive mix shift with a higher proportion of Mobile Broadband net sales and a lower proportion of Global Services net sales. The non-IFRS gross margin performance in Mobile Broadband was primarily due to overall radio technologies, primarily related to a lower proportion of software sales. The proportion of high margin software sales in the Nokia Networks sales mix was approximately 2 percentage points lower in the third quarter 2015 compared to the second quarter 2015. The non-IFRS gross margin performance in Global Services was primarily due to lower non-IFRS gross margin in the majority of business lines, partially offset by strength in the systems integration business line. The non-IFRS gross profit increase in Mobile Broadband was primarily due to higher non-IFRS gross profit in overall radio technologies and core networking technologies. In Mobile Broadband, gross profit increased, despite a decrease in software sales, due to solid growth in overall Mobile Broadband net sales. The non-IFRS gross profit decrease in Global Services was primarily due to lower non-IFRS gross profit in the care and network implementation business lines, partially offset by strength in the systems integration business line. The decrease in Nokia Networks non-IFRS research and development expenses was primarily due to a continued focus on cost efficiency. The decrease in Nokia Networks non-IFRS selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to lower personnel expenses and continued operational improvement. Nokia Networks non-IFRS other income and expenses was an income of EUR 3 million in the third quarter 2015, compared to an income of EUR 10 million in the second quarter 2015.

Sequential discussion In the third quarter 2015, Nokia Technologies net sales decreased 16%, primarily due to the absence of non-recurring net sales that benefitted the second quarter 2015, as well as lower licensing income from certain existing licensees that experienced decreases in handset sales. At constant currency, Nokia Technologies net sales would have decreased 15% sequentially. Non-IFRS Operating profit Year-on-year discussion The year-on-year decrease in Nokia Technologies non-IFRS operating profit was primarily due to higher non-IFRS operating expenses, partially offset by higher non-IFRS gross profit. The increase in Nokia Technologies non-IFRS research and development expenses was primarily due to higher patent portfolio costs. The increase in Nokia Technologies non-IFRS selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher business support costs, as well as the ramp-up of new businesses and product launch activities. On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a positive impact on non-IFRS gross profit, and a slightly negative impact on non-IFRS operating expenses, resulting in a slightly positive net impact on non-IFRS operating profit in the third quarter 2015. Sequential discussion The sequential decrease in Nokia Technologies non-IFRS operating profit was primarily due to lower non-IFRS gross profit, partially offset by lower non-IFRS operating expenses. The decrease in Nokia Technologies non-IFRS research and development expenses was primarily due to changes in operational focus and lower costs related to the ramp-up of new businesses and product launch activities. Nokia Technologies non-IFRS selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately flat on a sequential basis, primarily due to procedural steps of a certain patent licensing case coming to an end, offset by higher costs related to the ramp-up of new businesses and product launch activities, as well as higher business support costs. Sequentially, foreign exchange fluctuations had a slightly negative impact on non-IFRS gross profit, and a slightly positive impact on non-IFRS operating expenses, resulting in a slightly negative net impact on non-IFRS operating profit in the third quarter 2015.

The sequential change in Nokia’s net cash and other liquid assets in the third quarter 2015 was primarily due to the adjusted net profit. Foreign exchange rates had an approximately EUR 40 million negative impact on the translation of gross cash and approximately EUR 30 million negative impact on net cash. On a sequential basis, Nokia, including discontinued operations, net cash and other liquid assets was affected by the following factors: In the third quarter 2015, Nokia’s net cash from operating activities was EUR 503 million. Nokia’s continuing operations adjusted net profit before changes in net working capital was EUR 454 million in the third quarter 2015. Nokia’s continuing operations had approximately EUR 20 million of restructuring-related cash outflows in the third quarter 2015, related to Nokia Networks. Excluding this, Nokia’s continuing operations net working capital had cash outflows of approximately EUR 20 million, primarily due to an increase in receivables and decrease in short-term liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in inventories. In addition, Nokia’s continuing operations had cash inflows of approximately EUR 90 million of other financial income and expenses primarily related to foreign exchange hedging and balance sheet related items, and cash outflows of approximately EUR 60 million related to taxes. Additionally, Nokia’s discontinued operations had cash inflows totaling approximately EUR 40 million in the third quarter 2015, primarily due to adjusted net profit.

Nokia’s year to date performance Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent to combine to create an innovation leader in next generation technology and services for an IP connected world On April 15, 2015, Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent announced their intention to combine to create an innovation leader in next generation technology and services for an IP connected world. The two companies entered into a memorandum of understanding under which Nokia will make an offer for all of the equity securities issued by Alcatel-Lucent, through a public exchange offer in France and in the United States, on the basis of 0.55 of a new Nokia share for every Alcatel-Lucent share. Each company’s Board of Directors approved the terms of the proposed transaction. On October 21, 2015, Nokia announced that it has received all required regulatory approvals to proceed with the filing of its public exchange offer for Alcatel-Lucent, following the decision by the French Ministry of Economy to approve the proposed transaction. Once the Exchange Offer period opens, the proposed transaction will remain subject to approval by Nokia shareholders and the successful closing of the Exchange Offer. The initial Exchange Offer settlement date is currently expected to be in the first quarter of 2016. Nokia completes next stage of transformation with agreement to sell HERE to automotive industry consortium at an enterprise value of EUR 2.8 billion On August 3, 2015, Nokia announced an agreement to sell its HERE digital mapping and location services business to a consortium of leading automotive companies, comprising AUDI AG, BMW Group and Daimler AG (the "Consortium"). The transaction values HERE at an enterprise value of EUR 2.8 billion with a normalized level of working capital and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2016, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Upon closing, Nokia estimates that it will receive net proceeds of slightly above EUR 2.5 billion, as the purchaser would be compensated for certain defined liabilities of HERE currently expected to be slightly below EUR 300 million as part of the transaction. Nokia expects to book a gain on the sale and a related release of cumulative foreign exchange translation differences totaling approximately EUR 1 billion as a result of the transaction. In April 2015, Nokia announced a review of strategic options for HERE in light of its proposed combination with Alcatel-Lucent. The announcement on August 3, 2015 of the sale to the Consortium concluded that strategic review process. Nokia is reporting HERE as a discontinued operation from the third quarter of 2015 onwards. HERE will continue to operate as a business of Nokia until the closing of the transaction. Financial discussion The following discussion is of Nokia's reported results for January-September 2015 which comprise the results of Nokia’s two continuing businesses – Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies, as well as Group Common Functions and discontinued operations.

Operating profit Nokia’s continuing operations operating profit increased 11% year-on-year in the first nine months of 2015, primarily due to an increase in operating profit in Nokia Technologies and a decrease in operating loss in Group Common Functions, partially offset by a decrease in operating profit in Nokia Networks. During the first nine months of 2015, Nokia Networks recorded amounts in order to correct items previously reported in 2014 and 2013 as cost of sales and reductions to accounts receivable. The impact of this correction was to reduce cost of sales in the current period by EUR 37 million, of which EUR 7 million related to 2014 and EUR 30 million to 2013. The error related to businesses divested in 2013 where Nokia Networks continued to operate certain accounting functions under a transitional arrangement and erroneously recorded pass through costs of the disposed businesses as costs of Nokia Networks. Nokia’s continuing operations other income and expenses was an income of EUR 15 million in the first nine months of 2015, compared to an expense of EUR 87 million in the first nine months of 2014. On a year-on-year basis, the change in Nokia’s continuing operations other income and expenses was primarily due to higher other income in Group Common Functions related to Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds. During the first nine months of 2015, Nokia Growth Partners sold its holdings in Ganji.com, a major online local services marketplace platform in China, to 58.com. Related to the transaction, Nokia recorded a gain of approximately EUR 120 million in the first nine months of 2015. The final amount and timing of additional income or expense will depend on the value and date at which the venture funds liquidate the portion of the consideration that was received in shares. On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a significantly positive impact on gross profit, and a significantly negative impact on operating expenses, resulting in a positive net impact on operating profit in the first nine months of 2015. Profit Nokia’s continuing operations profit decreased to EUR 695 million in the first nine months of 2015, compared to EUR 2.4 billion in the first nine months of 2014. The decrease in profit compared to the year-ago period was primarily due to the absence of a EUR 2.0 billion non-cash tax benefit reported in tax expenses, as certain deferred tax assets were recognized as Nokia re-established a pattern of sufficient tax profitability in Finland and Germany to utilize the cumulative losses, foreign tax credits and other temporary differences. This was partially offset by net positive fluctuation in financial income and expenses and higher operating profit. The net positive fluctuation in financial income and expenses was primarily due to the absence of a EUR 123 million one-time expense related to the redemption of materially all of Nokia Networks’ borrowings, as well as the absence of a EUR 57 million accounting charge related to the repayment of EUR 1.5 billion convertible bonds issued to Microsoft. The share of results of associated companies in the first nine months of 2015 includes an out of period adjustment of approximately EUR 25 million. Nokia has historically accounted for the results of a certain associated company in arrears, as the results have not been material. Primarily due to an increase in the entity’s earnings, the amounts reflected in the first nine months of 2015 should have been recorded in the fourth quarter 2014.

In the first nine months of 2015, Global Services represented 48% of Nokia Networks net sales, compared to 45% in the first nine months 2014. The year-on-year increase of 6% in Nokia Networks net sales in the first nine months of 2015 was primarily due to an increase in net sales in Global Services and, to a lesser extent, in Mobile Broadband. Global Services net sales increased 12% year-on-year in the first nine months of 2015, primarily due to strong growth in the network implementation business line, as well as solid growth in the care, network planning and optimization and systems integration business lines. The systems integration and network planning and optimization business lines delivered strong percentage growth on a year-on-year basis, consistent with our ongoing focus on services-led and professional services business. Mobile Broadband net sales increased 1% year-on-year in the first nine months of 2015, primarily due to growth in overall radio technologies, particularly LTE.

In North America, net sales increased 8%, primarily driven by higher net sales in Global Services, with particular strength in the network implementation business line, including the benefit from the acquisition of SAC Wireless. This was partially offset by lower net sales in Mobile Broadband, which benefitted in the year-ago period from a significant network deployment at a major customer. In Asia-Pacific, net sales increased 2%, primarily driven by higher net sales in both Mobile Broadband and Global Services. The overall increase in Asia-Pacific was primarily due to growth in India and Myanmar, partially offset by lower net sales in Japan and South Korea. In Latin America, net sales decreased 1%, driven by lower net sales in both Mobile Broadband and Global Services. The overall decrease in Latin America was primarily due to lower net sales in Brazil and Mexico, partially offset by higher net sales in Argentina and Chile. In Europe, net sales decreased 3%, primarily driven by lower net sales in Global Services, partially offset by higher net sales in Mobile Broadband. The overall decrease in Europe was primarily due to lower net sales in Germany and Finland, partially offset by higher net sales in the United Kingdom and Italy. Operating profit The year-on-year decrease in Nokia Networks operating profit in the first nine months of 2015 was primarily due to lower operating profit in Mobile Broadband, partially offset by higher operating profit in Global Services. The decrease in Mobile Broadband operating profit in the first nine months of 2015 was primarily due to higher operating expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit. The growth in Global Services operating profit in the first nine months of 2015 was primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher operating expenses. On a year-on-year basis, the decrease in Nokia Networks gross margin in the first nine months of 2015 was primarily due to a lower gross margin in Global Services, as well as a negative mix shift due to a higher proportion of Global Services net sales and a lower proportion of Mobile Broadband net sales. The year-on-year decrease in gross margin in Global Services was primarily due to lower gross margin in the network implementation and network planning and optimization business lines. In Mobile Broadband, the gross margin in the first nine months of 2015 was approximately flat on a year-on-year basis. The approximately flat gross margin in Mobile Broadband was primarily due to higher gross margin in overall radio technologies, partially offset by lower gross margin in core networking technologies and a lower proportion of higher gross margin core networking technologies net sales in the sales mix. In addition, Nokia Networks gross margin was negatively impacted by higher costs related to the short-term impact of strategic entry deals, and challenging market conditions. The proportion of high margin software sales in the Nokia Networks sales mix was approximately 1 percentage point lower in the first nine months of 2015, compared to the first nine months of 2014. The year-on-year increase in gross profit in Mobile Broadband in the first nine months of 2015 was primarily due to higher gross profit in overall radio technologies, partially offset by higher costs related to the short-term impact of strategic entry deals, and challenging market conditions. The year-on-year increase in Global Services gross profit in the first nine months of 2015 was primarily due to higher gross profit in the care and systems integration business lines, partially offset by lower gross profit in the network implementation business line. During the first nine months of 2015, Nokia Networks recorded amounts in order to correct items previously reported in 2014 and 2013 as cost of sales and reductions to accounts receivable. The impact of this correction was to reduce cost of sales in the first nine months of 2015 by EUR 37 million, of which EUR 7 million related to 2014 and EUR 30 million to 2013. The error related to businesses divested in 2013 where Nokia Networks continued to operate certain accounting functions under a transitional arrangement and erroneously recorded pass through costs of the disposed businesses as costs of Nokia Networks. The year-on-year increase in Nokia Networks research and development expenses in the first nine months of 2015 was primarily due to increased investments in LTE, small cells, cloud core and 5G. On a year-on-year basis, Nokia Networks selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher personnel expenses. The year-on-year increases in both research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses in the first nine months of 2015 were partially offset by continued operational improvement. Nokia Networks other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 101 million in the first nine months of 2015, compared to an expense of EUR 105 million in the first nine months of 2014. On a year-on-year basis, the change in Nokia Networks other income and expenses was primarily due to the absence of a EUR 31 million charge in the year-ago period for anticipated contractual remediation costs related to a technical issue with a third party component and lower indirect tax expenses, which were almost entirely offset by higher restructuring and associated charges. In the first nine months of 2015, Nokia Networks other income and expenses included EUR 103 million of restructuring and associated charges, compared to EUR 51 million of restructuring and associated charges in the first nine months of 2014. During the third quarter 2015, Nokia Networks recognized costs of EUR 76 million, related to certain cost reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives. The related annual cost savings are expected to be approximately EUR 50 million in 2016. The costs related to the reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives consist of personnel severance charges in Germany, the United States, Japan and China, and are expected to result in cash outflows of approximately EUR 80 million. In addition, Nokia Networks recognized EUR 27 million of costs following a change in estimate of the Brazil provision for the Global Restructuring Program announced in 2011. On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a significantly positive impact on gross profit, and a negative impact on operating expenses, resulting in a positive net impact on operating profit in the first nine months of 2015.

First, approximately two-thirds of the year-on-year growth in Nokia Technologies net sales in the first nine months of 2015 related to non-recurring net sales from existing and new agreements, revenue share related to previously divested intellectual property rights, and intellectual property rights divestments. Second, approximately one-third of the year-on-year growth in Nokia Technologies net sales in the first nine months of 2015 related to higher intellectual property licensing income from existing and new licensees, which included Microsoft becoming a more significant intellectual property licensee in conjunction with the Sale of the D&S Business. At constant currency, Nokia Technologies net sales would have increased 38% year-on-year. Nokia Technologies first nine months of 2015 net sales includes revenue from all licensing negotiations, litigations and arbitrations to the extent that we believe is currently required, but is not a forecast of the likely future outcome of ongoing licensing projects. Operating profit The year-on-year increase in Nokia Technologies operating profit in the first nine months of 2015 was primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher operating expenses. The increase in Nokia Technologies research and development expenses was primarily due to higher investments in business activities which target long-term growth opportunities, as well as higher patent portfolio costs. On a year-on-year basis, Nokia Technologies selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher costs related to patent licensing cases, as well as higher business support costs. On a year-on-year basis, foreign exchange fluctuations had a positive impact on gross profit, and a slightly negative impact on operating expenses, resulting in a slightly positive net impact on operating profit in the first nine months of 2015.

Discontinued operations net sales in both the first nine months of 2015 and the third quarter 2015 were primarily attributable to HERE. HERE net sales amounted to EUR 834 million in the first nine months of 2015, compared to EUR 677 million in the year-ago period. Operating profit The year-on-year decrease in operating profit for discontinued operations was primarily due to the absence of a gain of EUR 3.2 billion from the Sale of the D&S Business, which benefitted the first nine months of 2014. This was partially offset by the absence of a EUR 1.2 billion impairment charge related to HERE, which negatively affected the first nine months of 2014, as well as lower operating expenses. Discontinued operations operating profit in both the first nine months of 2015 and in the third quarter 2015 were primarily attributable to HERE non-IFRS operating profit, partially offset by operating losses related to the D&S business. HERE operating profit amounted to EUR 48 million in the first nine months of 2015, compared to an operating loss of EUR 1 227 million in the first nine months of 2014. Profit The year-on-year change in profit for discontinued operations was primarily due to lower operating profit, partially offset by lower tax expenses and lower financial expenses. The lower tax expenses were primarily due to the absence of taxes related to the gain on the Sale of the D&S Business and the absence of taxes related to the de-recognition of deferred tax assets previously recognized mainly related to HERE’s historical Dutch tax losses, both of which negatively affected the first nine months of 2014. The lower financial expenses were primarily due to lower foreign exchange differences reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit and loss as a consequence of the Sale of the D&S Business, which negatively affected the first nine months of 2014.

Foreign exchange rates had an approximately EUR 30 million positive impact on the translation of gross cash and approximately EUR 110 million positive impact on net cash. In the first nine months of 2015, Nokia, including discontinued operations, net cash and other liquid assets was affected by the following factors: In the first nine months of 2015, Nokia’s net cash from operating activities was EUR 46 million. Nokia’s continuing operations adjusted net profit before changes in net working capital was EUR 1 287 million in the first nine months of 2015. Nokia’s continuing operations had approximately EUR 100 million of restructuring-related cash outflows in the first nine months of 2015, which related to Nokia Networks. Excluding this, Nokia’s continuing operations net working capital had cash outflows of approximately EUR 760 million, primarily due to a decrease in short-term liabilities and, to a lesser extent, an increase in receivables, partially offset by an increase in inventories. The decrease in short-term liabilities was primarily due to the payment of incentives related to Nokia Networks’ strong business performance in 2014, as well as a decrease in accounts payable. In addition, Nokia’s continuing operations had cash inflows of approximately EUR 10 million related to net interest expenses, cash outflows of approximately EUR 230 million of other financial income and expenses primarily related to foreign exchange hedging and balance sheet related items, and cash outflows of approximately EUR 220 million related to taxes. Additionally, Nokia’s discontinued operations had cash inflows totaling approximately EUR 50 million in the first nine months of 2015, primarily due to adjusted net profit.

Notes to Financial statements 1. Basis of preparation The unaudited, consolidated, condensed interim financial statements of Nokia have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (“IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting"). The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for 2014, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as published by the IASB. The same accounting policies, methods of computation and applications of judgement are followed in these interim financial statements as were followed in the consolidated financial statements of Nokia for 2014. These interim financial statements were authorized for issue by management on October 28, 2015. Non-IFRS measures presented in this document exclude certain non-recurring items (special items) for all periods. In addition, non-IFRS results exclude intangible asset amortization and other purchase price accounting-related items arising from business acquisitions. Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with IFRS, and non-IFRS financial measures as used by Nokia may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies or persons. 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. We have two businesses: Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies, and three operating and reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Mobile Broadband and Global Services within Nokia Networks, and Nokia Technologies. We also present certain segment data for discontinued operations. As highlighted in the announcement regarding the sale of HERE on August 3, 2015, Nokia reports HERE as a discontinued operation from the third quarter 2015 onwards. HERE continues to form an operating segment with results of operations reported in Note 8, Discontinued operations. Numbers are always presented for the continuing operations of Nokia, unless otherwise indicated. Below is a description of our three reportable segments. Mobile Broadband provides mobile operators with radio and core network software together with the hardware needed to deliver mobile voice and data services. Global Services provides mobile operators with a broad range of services, including network implementation, care, managed services, network planning and optimization as well as systems integration. Nokia Technologies is built on Nokia’s intellectual property rights (IPR) and brand and related licensing. Nokia Networks also contains Nokia Networks Other, which includes net sales and related cost of sales and operating expenses of non-core businesses, IPR net sales and related costs. It also includes restructuring and associated charges for Nokia Networks business. Additionally, as a result of the transaction announced on September 3, 2013, where Nokia sold substantially all of Nokia's Devices & Services business to Microsoft on April 25, 2014 (“Sale of the D&S Business”), and of the transaction announced on August 3, 2015, that Nokia will sell HERE, the Devices & Services business and HERE have been presented as discontinued operations on which we report certain separate information. On January 1, 2015, the Group completed the acquisition of the wireless network business from Panasonic in Japan. The business transfer included Panasonic’s LTE/3G wireless base station system business, related wireless equipment system business, fixed assets and business contracts with Panasonic’s customers as well as more than 300 Panasonic employees. The purchase accounting was not finalized at the end of Q3 2015, as it is still subject to completion of adjustments to the payments on closing. On April 15, 2015 Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent announced their intention to combine to create an innovation leader in next generation technology and services for an IP connected world. The two companies have entered into a memorandum of understanding under which Nokia will make an offer for all of the equity securities issued by Alcatel-Lucent, through a public exchange offer in France and in the United States, on the basis of 0.55 of a new Nokia share for every Alcatel-Lucent share. On July 10, 2015, the Group completed the acquisition of Eden Rock Communications. The purchase accounting was not finalized at the end of Q3 2015, as it is still subject to completion of adjustments to the payments on closing. During the second quarter 2015, the Group recorded amounts in order to correct items previously reported in 2014 and 2013 as cost of sales and reductions to accounts receivable. The impact of this correction was to reduce cost of sales in the current period by EUR 37 million, of which EUR 7 million related to 2014 and EUR 30 million to 2013. The error related to businesses divested in 2013 where the Group continued to operate certain accounting functions under a transitional arrangement and erroneously recorded pass through costs of the disposed businesses as costs of the Group. During the first quarter 2015 the Group recorded a correction which increased the results of associated companies by EUR 25 million in the current period. This correction related to the results of an associate for the fourth quarter of 2014. Nokia had historically accounted for the results of the associated company in arrears as the results have not been material. The Group evaluated these items in relation to the current period as well as the periods in which they originated and determined that the corrections are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements in all periods. Improvements to IFRS 2010-2012 and 2011-2013 cycles On January 1, 2015, the Group adopted amendments to multiple IFRS standards, which resulted from the IASB's annual improvement projects for the 2010-2012 and 2011-2013 cycles. They comprise amendments that result in accounting changes for presentation, recognition or measurement purposes as well as terminology or editorial amendments related to a variety of individual IFRS standards. The amendments did not have a material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements. Nokia Corporation Interim Report October 29, 2015 28

2. Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation, Continuing Operations (unaudited) In addition to information on our reported IFRS results, we provide certain information on a non-IFRS, or underlying business performance, basis. Non-IFRS results exclude certain non-recurring items (special items) for all periods. In addition, non-IFRS results exclude intangible asset amortization and other purchase price accounting related items arising from business acquisitions. We believe that our non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokia’s underlying business 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.

9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, Nokia Group, Continuing Operations, reported (unaudited) Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized based on the amount of unobservable inputs used to measure their fair value. 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 and Level 3 requiring most management judgment. At the end of each reporting period Nokia categorizes its financial assets and liabilities to appropriate level of fair value hierarchy.

The fair value is set to carrying amount for available-for-sale investments carried at cost less impairment for which no reliable fair value has been possible to estimate. The fair value of loan receivables and payables is estimated based on discounted cash flow method or current market values of similar instruments. The fair values of long-term interest bearing liabilities are based on discounted cash flow analysis (level 2) or quoted prices (level 1). The fair value is estimated to be equal to the carrying amount for short-term financial assets and financial liabilities due to limited credit risk and short time to maturity. Items included in the following table are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, Nokia Group, Continuing Operations, reported (unaudited) Level 3 includes a large number of investments in unlisted equities and unlisted funds, including investments managed by Nokia Growth Partners specializing in growth-stage investing and by BlueRun Ventures focusing on early stage opportunities. Within level 3 fair value is determined by using one or more valuation techniques, 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 estimated future cash flows. For unlisted funds the selection of appropriate valuation techniques by the fund managing partner may be affected by the availability and reliability of relevant inputs. In some cases, one valuation technique may provide the best indication of fair value while in other circumstances, multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. The inputs generally considered in determining the fair value include the original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations or other transactions undertaken by the issuer, offerings in the equity or debt capital markets, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors. Level 3 investments are valued on a quarterly basis taking into consideration any changes, projections and assumptions, as well as any changes in economic and other relevant conditions. The fair value may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the managing partner in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the managing partner due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value of individual investments, but no individual input has a significant impact on the total fair value of Nokia’s level 3 investments. The following table shows a reconciliation of the opening and closing balances of Level 3 financial assets: Other available-for-sale investments carried at fair value EUR million Balance at December 31, 2014 557 Total gains in income statement Total gains recorded in other comprehensive income Purchases Sales Other movements 139 0 38 (71) (6) Balance at September 30, 2015 657 The gains and losses from financial assets categorized in level 3 are included in other operating income and expenses in cases where the investment and disposal objectives for these investments are business driven. In other cases the gains and losses are included in financial income and expenses. A net loss of EUR 4 million (net loss of EUR 2 million in 2014) related to level 3 financial instruments held at September 30, 2015, was included in the profit and loss during 2015.
