Increasing global market presence The global mobile phone market continued to grow rapidly, and the ensuing strong increase in the sales of Nokia Mobile Phones further consolidated Nokia's number one position in mobile handsets. In infrastructure, Nokia continued to be the world' s largest GSM 1800 supplier and one of the two largest GSM 900 suppliers, with increasing focus in broadband and IP network solutions. In 1999, Europe accounted for 53% of Nokia's net sales (58% in 1998), the Americas 25% (21% in 1998) and Asia Pacific 22% (21% in 1998). The 10 largest markets were the U.S., China, the UK, Germany, Italy, France, Brazil, the Netherlands, Finland and Australia, together representing 67% of total sales. Intensive research and development To enable the future growth of the company, Nokia continued to invest in its worldwide research and development network and cooperation. At year-end, Nokia had 52 R&D centers in 14 countries and 17 134 R & D employees, approximately 31% of Nokia's total personnel. Investments in research and development increased by 53% (by 50% in 1998) and totaled EUR 1 755 million (EUR 1 150 million in 1998), representing 8.9% of net sales (8.6% of net sales in 1998). Expanding operational capabilities To meet the growing demand for its mobile phones, Nokia continued to expand its handset manufacturing capabilities globally. Nokia's operations in Fort Worth, Texas, are increasing mobile phone capacity gradually during the first half of 2000. Also during the first half of 2000, mobile phone manufacturing facilities in Brazil are being expanded, and the mobile phone plant in Mexico is expected to be ready for additional production. Construction of the new mobile phone manufacturing and distribution centre in Komarom, Hungary, proceeded well and the factory is expected to reach full capacity during the first half of this year. Investments were also made at the two existing mobile phone joint ventures in China, and at the plants in Finland and Germany. The base station factory in Suzhou, China, started operations in early 2000. At the end of 1999, Nokia's global production comprised 12 infrastructure manufacturing facilities in 5 countries and 10 mobile phone manufacturing facilities in 8 countries. Investing in People In 1999, Nokia increased its personnel by a total of 12 367 new employees (9 819 in 1998), excluding the businesses sold in 1999. The average number of personnel for 1999 was 51 177 (41 091 for 1998). At the end of 1999, Nokia employed 55 260 people worldwide (44 543 at year-end 1998). Nokia continued to develop motivating and performance-based compensation and benefit programs to its employees. In 1999, the 51% rise in earnings per share resulted in the maximum 5% bonus, based on annual base salary being paid to Nokia's personnel participating in the global Nokia Connecting People Bonus plan. Focusing on key technologies To expand its competencies in new emerging business areas, Nokia carried out several acquisitions in 1999. A number of partnerships with operators, content and service providers and IT players were formed to facilitate development of the market for mobile Internet. In February, Nokia acquired Diamond Lane Communications Corporation to enhance its fast Internet access expertise. To strengthen its capabilities in wireless broadband access technologies, Nokia acquired Rooftop Communications Corporation in September. A 40% stake of the UK-based AIRCOM International was acquired in June to further strengthen Nokia's PC-based network planning system competence. To develop its wireless LAN offering, Nokia acquired InTalk Corporation in February. In October, Nokia acquired Telekol Corporation, a company specializing in intelligent corporate communications solutions. In a move to focus on its core technologies, Nokia sold its wholly- owned subsidiary Salcomp Oy to EQT Scandinavia II in October. In addition, Nokia divested its SDH/DWDM transport equipment business to Marconi Communications in December. Nokia decided to discontinue its display manufacturing and sold its plant in Hungary to Elcoteq effective January 1, 2000. NOKIA NETWORKS Nokia Networks strengthened its offering by introducing several key elements for high capacity and indoor solutions, future data and third generation mobile networks. Launches in 1999 included Nokia InSite, the world's smallest base station, and the Nokia third generation system solution, including Nokia UltraSite, a triple mode base station supporting GSM, EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution) and WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access). Nokia also launched a complete network solution for GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). In wireless data, the new Nokia Artus Messaging Platform supporting WAP 1.1 for GSM and TDMA standards, and the Nokia Artus Picture Messaging Platform further broadened Nokia's portfolio. In 1999, operators continued to invest in the capacity of their GSM networks. Nokia supplied significant GSM network expansion to its customers in all market areas, with strongest growth in the Asia Pacific region and the U.S. Nokia won new GSM customers in China, Denmark, Hungary, Russia and Spain. Many operators strengthened their wireless data services with WAP and SMS applications, and prepared their networks to deliver HSCSD (High Speed Circuit Switched Data) and GPRS. Nokia gained a strong market position in HSCSD and GPRS and had signed contracts involving these technologies with more than 20 customers by year- end. In professional mobile radio networks, Nokia delivered TETRA networks and expansions to operators in the U.K., China, France, Italy and Spain. In fixed networks, the market for broadband DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) technologies experienced strong growth in the U.S., and a similar development is expected to take place in Europe and Asia. The Nokia Broadband IP Access Solution, a complete solution aimed at revolutionizing access to IP-based services, integrates ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) technology with IP technology to provide operators an advanced, end-to-end Internet access system. Nokia gained a sound market position in DSL technology, with orders amounting to approximately 3 million DSL lines at year-end. NOKIA MOBILE PHONES The mobile phone market growth continued in 1999 at a rate exceeding 60% globally. Nokia estimates that approximately 275 million mobile phones were sold worldwide in 1999, compared to 168 million units in the previous year. Of the total market volume in 1999, the share of upgrade sales was approximately 40%, and Nokia further estimates that this share will rise to around 50% this year. The growth of Nokia's mobile phone sales volume exceeded market growth throughout 1999. As a result, Nokia continued to gain market share and strengthen its market position as the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer. Nokia's total mobile phone sales volume in 1999 was 78.5 million units, an increase of 92% from the previous year's 40.8 million units. Approximately 40% of the world's mobile phone users are based in Europe, the biggest mobile phone region in terms of cellular subscribers and annual sales volumes. However, the country with the biggest mobile phone market is the United States, followed by Japan, China and the United Kingdom. During 1999 Nokia launched a total of 18 new mobile phone models. These included the Nokia 7110, 3210, 6090, 8850, Card Phone 2.0, 7190 and 8210 for GSM; the Nokia 6100i-models, 8860 and 7160 for TDMA; and the Nokia 5170, 5180 and 6185 for CDMA. Nokia also introduced its first ultra-thin Lithium Polymer (Li-Polymer) battery in September. In October, Nokia and Palm Computing Inc., a 3Com company, announced a joint development and licensing agreement to create a new category of pen-based wireless communications devices integrating mobile telephony with data applications, information management features and value-added services. OTHER OPERATIONS In order to strengthen Nokia's ability to serve the business communications market, a new unit, Nokia Internet Communications, was formed in October. The aim is to build a powerful channel to the enterprise market through offering world-class VPN (Virtual Private Network) and e-business products and solutions. These products will be crucial to delivery of secure, reliable, and scalable solutions and new connectivity infrastructure for enterprises. Two new ventures were established within the Nokia Ventures Organization. Nokia Home Communications will focus on the development of digital home platforms and IP technology-based communications solutions for the home environment. Nokia Mobile Display Appliances, in turn, will focus on the development of display-centric devices enabling Internet-based, visually rich communications. In May, Nokia introduced a comprehensive Wireless LAN solution as part of its Global IP Mobility strategy. Nokia's Wireless LAN product portfolio comprises wireless access points, wireless LAN cards, and sophisticated software providing seamless extension to a fixed network. In December, Nokia announced commercial availability of the Nokia WAP Server 1.0 software product. CHANGES IN SHARE CAPITAL In 1999, Nokia's share capital increased by EUR 3 857 758.08 as a result of the issue of 16 073 992 new shares upon exercise of warrants issued to key personnel in 1994, 1995 and 1997. Nokia's share capital was also increased in September by EUR 127 087.20 when 529 530 shares were issued to finance the acquisition of Rooftop Communications Corporation. The shares were issued for a subscription price of EUR 80.17 per share which was the average market price of the Nokia ADS on the New York Stock Exchange for a 20 business-day period before the closing of the transaction. Due to the limited number of shares issued, this issuance did not have any significant effect on the division of the holdings or voting rights of other shareholders in Nokia. In August, Nokiterra Oy, a 100% owned subsidiary, merged into Nokia Corporation as a result of which the parent company received 64 280 684 Nokia shares with an aggregate nominal value of EUR 15 427 364.16. These shares, representing 5.3% of the total number of shares and the total voting rights, were cancelled in December pursuant to resolution of the Extraordinary General Meeting. The total number of shares at December 31, 1999 was 1 163 515 966. As the result of the new share issues, Nokia received a total of EUR 195 297 621.78 additional shareholders' equity in 1999. In addition, the share capital was increased by EUR 36 051 274.79 through a bonus issue in connection with the conversion of the share capital into euros. The cancellation of 64 280 684 shares did not reduce the restricted capital. At December 31, 1999, the share capital was EUR 279 243 831.84. On December 31, 1999, the Group companies owned 346 194 Nokia shares. The shares have an aggregate nominal value of EUR 83 086.56 and represent 0.03% of the total number of shares and the total voting rights. OUTLOOK Nokia's strategic intent is to take a leading, brand-recognized role in the creation of the mobile information society by combining mobility and the Internet and stimulating the creation of new services. In pursuing this, Nokia emphasizes speed in anticipating and fulfilling evolving customer needs, quality in products and processes and openness with people and to new ideas and solutions. Based on its resources, including technological know-how, market position and continuous building of competencies, Nokia is well positioned to achieve its future goals. DIVIDEND The Nokia Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting on March 22, 2000, that a dividend of EUR 0.80 per share (EUR 0.48 per share for 1998, split adjusted) be paid. JORMA OLLILA, CHAIRMAN AND CEO: Nokia closed the year 1999 with another outstanding quarter. Continued strong growth and excellent profits in the last quarter led to the third consecutive record year during which we exceeded our overall growth and profitability targets. As planned, we strengthened our number one market position in handsets and have every reason to be pleased with our performance. We reached good profitability in our infrastructure business and outstanding profitability in our handset business. In addition, continued successful working capital management contributed to our solid financial position and performance in 1999, resulting in net cash flow from operations of EUR 3.1 billion. Our sound competitive position, comprehensive product portfolio and innovative solutions, appealing brand and highly efficient global operations have driven our profitability development. We will continue to focus in these areas with the aim of enhancing our leadership in creating the mobile information society. We believe that our foresight in market trends and concepts, such as combining mobility and Internet, have brought us increasing customer confidence that we highly value. We have also been recognized for our ability to implement our vision in the form of viable product concepts. With the emergence of mobile Internet, we strive to enhance this customer confidence. We estimate that at the end of 1999 there were approximately 480 million mobile phone subscribers in the world, an increase of more than 50% from the previous year's 310 million. We currently estimate that by the end of year 2002 there will be more than one billion mobile phone users in the world. New solutions introduced during the year demonstrate our leading- edge position in infrastructure systems. We completed several GPRS development and testing milestones, and have already started deliveries of our GPRS core network infrastructure, thus paving the way for the implementation of full third generation solutions starting from year 2001. To meet our near-term challenges and to build the foundation for continued growth, we remain committed to constantly renewing our operations with focused efforts on new business creation. In the Internet business, we will continue to emphasize solutions that not only enable mobile Internet, but also are secure to use. Mobility and security of use are key drivers for sustained growth of e-business. While the changes in economic and industry conditions make forecasting difficult, strong growth is expected to continue in those telecommunications segments in which we have chosen to operate. We reiterate our previously stated target for net sales growth of 30-40% this year. During last year we increased our personnel by 12 367 to 55 260 persons worldwide.
