OLLI-PEKKA KALLASVUO, NOKIA CEO:
In the second quarter, Nokia delivered strong year-on-year growth in net sales, operating profit and EPS. At an industry level, the markets for both mobile devices and mobile infrastructure continued to show healthy growth.
In devices, we started initial shipments of several new products including important ones in Mobile Phones mid-range, the Nokia Nseries and the Nokia Eseries further strengthening our product portfolio. In the WCDMA device market Nokia continued to build on its excellent position, with our volumes growing almost 50 percent from the first quarter, yielding a considerable increase in our WCDMA global market share to well over 30 percent. In infrastructure, Networks has continued with its focused strategy of building scale by taking market share and increasing its footprint in the high growth geographies.
During the second quarter Nokia made two significant strategic announcements. We stated our intention to restructure our CDMA business, following the decision not to proceed with the proposed CDMA company with Sanyo. Once completed, this restructuring is expected to have a positive impact on Nokias operating margin. In addition, Nokia and Siemens announced a definitive agreement to merge Nokias Networks business group and Siemens carrier-related operations into a new company, creating a powerful leader in the wireless and wireline carrier market.
· Nokia expects industry mobile device volumes in the third quarter 2006 to be up sequentially, although to be less than the second quarter 2006 sequential increase.
· We expect Nokias device market share in the third quarter 2006 to be approximately at the same level sequentially.
· Sales in our networks business are expected to develop according to normal seasonality in the third quarter.
· Nokia continues to expect the mobile device market volume to grow by 15% or more in 2006, from our estimate of approximately 795 million units in 2005.
· We continue to expect the device industry to experience value growth in 2006, but expect some decline in industry ASPs, primarily reflecting the increasing impact of the emerging markets and competitive factors in general.
· Nokia continues to expect moderate growth in the mobile infrastructure market in euro terms in 2006.
· Nokia continues to target an increase in its 2006 market share in mobile devices and infrastructure.

Based on our preliminary market estimate, Nokias market share for the second quarter 2006 was 34%, compared with 33% in the second quarter 2005 and 35% in the first quarter 2006. Nokias year-on-year market share increase was driven primarily by strong gains in China and Asia-Pacific. Sequential market share gains in Europe, Asia-Pacific and China were more than offset by sequential market share declines in North America, Latin America and Middle East & Africa. The decline in Nokias volumes in North America was impacted by a significant order cancellation at one of our customers in the pre-pay market. While Nokia experienced sequential volume growth in Latin America, it was slower than the market growth. Nokias significant sequential market share growth in Europe was driven by very strong gains in its European WCDMA market share.
Nokias average selling price in the second quarter 2006 was EUR 102, down from EUR 105 in the second quarter 2005 and down from EUR 103 in the first quarter 2006. Our ASP in the second quarter 2006 was driven by a higher proportion of lower-priced devices and the ramp up of new mid-range products only towards the end of the quarter, balanced by strong sales of higher-priced products including WCDMA and Nokia Nseries devices.
Business Groups
Mobile Phones: Second quarter 2006 net sales grew 21% to EUR 5.9 billion, compared with EUR 4.9 billion in the second quarter 2005, driven by strong industry volumes and our competitive product portfolio. Net sales increased in all regions year on year except Middle East & Africa, with growth strongest in China, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
Mobile Phones operating profit grew 24% to EUR 979 million, compared with EUR 789 million in the second quarter 2005, with an operating margin of 16.7% (16.2%). Operating profit growth in the second quarter 2006 was supported by strong net sales growth and improved operating-cost management compared with the second quarter 2005.
Multimedia: Second quarter 2006 net sales increased 37% to EUR 1.9 billion, compared with EUR 1.4 billion in the second quarter 2005. Net sales increased year on year in all regions expect for North America and Latin America. Multimedia net sales more than doubled year on year in Asia-Pacific and China.
Multimedia second quarter operating profit grew 141% to EUR 304 million, compared with EUR 126 million in the second quarter 2005, with an operating margin of 16.1% (9.2%). Operating profit growth in the second quarter 2006 was driven by
3
strong net sales, particularly sales of Nokia Nseries multimedia computers, and positive operating leverage compared to the second quarter 2005.
Enterprise Solutions: Second quarter 2006 net sales increased 43% to EUR 283 million, compared with EUR 198 million in the second quarter 2005. Net sales were up significantly year on year in all regions except Latin America. Net sales were positively impacted by sales across all units, including mobile devices, security and mobile software.
In the second quarter 2006, Enterprise Solutions had an operating loss of EUR 63 million, compared with an operating loss of EUR 76 million in the second quarter 2005.
Networks: Second quarter 2006 net sales increased 9% to EUR 1.8 billion, compared with EUR 1.6 billion in the second quarter 2005. Net sales were positively impacted year on year by Nokias improved position in the emerging markets, and increased in all regions except Latin America and Europe. Net sales more than doubled year on year in Middle East & Africa.
Networks second quarter operating profit increased 91% to EUR 399 million, compared with EUR 209 million in the second quarter 2005, with an operating margin of 22.6% (12.9%). Reported second quarter 2006 operating profit was positively impacted by a gain of EUR 276 million from Nokias share of the proceeds of the Telsim sale. Operating profit excluding this gain for the second quarter 2006 was EUR 123 million, with an operating margin of 7.0%. Lower year-on-year profitability, excluding the special item, reflected concerted efforts to gain market share, a greater proportion of sales from the emerging markets, strong price competition, and a higher share of services sales.

Because these statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from the results that we currently expect. Factors that could cause these differences include, but are not limited to: 1) the extent of the growth of the mobile communications industry, as well as the growth and profitability of the new market segments within that industry which we target; 2) the availability of new products and services by network operators and other market participants; 3) our ability to identify key market trends and to respond timely and successfully to the needs of our customers; 4) the impact of changes in technology and our ability to develop or otherwise acquire complex technologies as required by the market, with full rights needed to use; 5) competitiveness of our product portfolio; 6) timely and successful commercialization of new advanced products and solutions; 7) price erosion and cost management; 8) the intensity of competition in the mobile communications industry and our ability to maintain or improve our market position and respond to changes in the competitive landscape; 9) our ability to manage efficiently our manufacturing and logistics, as well as to ensure the quality, safety, security and timely delivery of our products and solutions; 10) inventory management risks resulting from shifts in market demand; 11) our ability to source quality components without interruption and at acceptable prices; 12) our success in collaboration arrangements relating to development of technologies or new products and solutions; 13) the success, financial condition and performance of our collaboration partners, suppliers and customers; 14) any disruption to information technology systems and networks that our operations rely on; 15) our ability to protect the complex technologies that we or others develop or that we license from claims that we have infringed third parties intellectual property rights, as well as our unrestricted use on commercially acceptable terms of certain technologies in our products and solution offerings; 16) general economic conditions globally and, in particular, economic or political turmoil in emerging market countries where we do business; 17) developments under large, multi-year contracts or in relation to major customers; 18) exchange rate fluctuations, including, in particular, fluctuations between the euro, which is our reporting currency, and the US dollar, the Chinese yuan, the UK pound sterling and the Japanese yen; 19) the management of our customer financing exposure; 20) our ability to recruit, retain and develop appropriately skilled employees; 21) the impact of changes in government policies, laws or regulations; and 22) satisfaction of the conditions to the merger of Nokias and Siemens communications service provider businesses, and closing of transaction, and Nokias and Siemens ability to successfully integrate the operations and employees of their respective businesses; as well as 23) the risk factors specified on pages 12 - 22 of the companys annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2005 under Item 3.D Risk Factors. Other unknown or unpredictable factors or underlying assumptions subsequently proving to be incorrect could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Nokia does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required.
