OLLI-PEKKA KALLASVUO, NOKIA CEO:
"In the second quarter, Nokia delivered strong year-on-year growth i
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 Noki
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 Nokia's operating margin. I
addition, Nokia and Siemens announced a definitive agreement to merge
Nokia's Networks business group and Siemens' carrier-relat
operations into a new company, creating a powerful leader in the
wireless and wireline carrier market."
INDUSTRY AND NOKIA OUTLOOK FOR THE THIRD QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2006
- 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 Nokia's device market share in the third quarter 2006 t
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, Nokia's market share fo
the second quarter 2006 was 34%, compared with 33% in the second
quarter 2005 and 35% in the first quarter 2006. Nokia's year-on-yea
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 Nokia's volumes in North America was impacte
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. Nokia'
significant sequential market share growth in Europe was driven by
very strong gains in its European WCDMA market share.
Nokia's 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 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 Nokia's improve
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 Nokia's 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.
