Note 1 relating to non-IFRS results: Non-IFRS results exclude special items for
all periods. In addition, non-IFRS results exclude intangible asset
amortization, other purchase price accounting related items and inventory value
adjustments arising from i) the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks and ii) all
business acquisitions completed after June 30, 2008. More specific information
about the exclusions from the non-IFRS results may be found in this press
release on pages 2-3, 12-14 and 16.
Nokia believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide meaningful
supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokia's
performance by excluding the above-described items that may not be indicative of
Nokia's business operating results. These non-IFRS financial measures should not
be viewed in isolation or as substitutes to the equivalent IFRS measure(s), but
should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measure(s)
in the reported results. A reconciliation of the non-IFRS results to our
reported results for Q1 2010 and Q1 2009 can be found in the tables on pages 10
and 12-16 of this press release. A reconciliation of our Q4 2009 non-IFRS
results can be found on pages 10 and 12-16 of our Q4 2009 Interim Report of
January 28, 2010.

items. If Nokia's estimated long-term tax rate of 26% had been applied, non-IFRS
Nokia EPS would have been approximately 1 Euro cent higher.
OLLI-PEKKA KALLASVUO, NOKIA CEO:
"In Q1, Nokia delivered both year-on-year net sales and operating profit growth.
We continue to face tough competition with respect to the high end of our mobile
device portfolio, as well as challenging market conditions on the infrastructure
side.
During the quarter, we also demonstrated our ability to deliver the Nokia
smartphone experience to consumers on a global scale, with our smartphone
shipments up by more than 50% year-on-year. The consumer response to the
inclusion of our walk and drive navigation offering on our smartphones has been
tremendous. Since launching in January, 10 million Nokia smartphone users around
the world have downloaded the offering.
In infrastructure, Nokia Siemens Networks' profitability benefited from a
positive sales mix in Q1. I am also pleased to see encouraging results from the
company's focus on helping operators meet the challenge of the rapid growth in
data and signaling traffic from smartphones."

Nokia's first quarter 2010 reported operating profit increased to EUR 488
million, compared with EUR 55 million in the first quarter 2009. Nokia's first
quarter 2010 non-IFRS operating profit increased 60% to EUR 820 million,
compared with EUR 514 million in the first quarter 2009. Nokia's first quarter
2010 reported operating margin was 5.1% (0.6%). Nokia's first quarter 2010
non-IFRS operating margin was 8.6% (5.5%).
Operating cash flow for the first quarter 2010 was EUR 1.0 billion. The
operating cash flow for the first quarter 2009 was EUR 0.3 billion. Total cash
and other liquid assets were EUR 9.7 billion at end of the first quarter 2010,
compared with EUR 8.1 billion at the end of the first quarter 2009. At the end
of the first quarter 2010, Nokia's net debt-equity ratio (gearing) was -31%,
compared with -14% at the end of the first quarter 2009.
Nokia is taking measures to mitigate the impact on its business of the
disruption to air traffic caused by the spread of ash following the volcanic
eruption in Iceland. Measures include adjusting our logistics operation to help
ensure component availability and product deliveries to customers. Although the
impact on our business is not quantifiable at this stage, it is anticipated
that, depending on how long they would need to be in place, the use of
alternative logistics arrangements may have an adverse impact on our net sales
and profitability going forward.
Devices & Services
Net Sales: First quarter 2010 Devices & Services net sales increased 8% to EUR
6.7 billion, compared with EUR 6.2 billion in the first quarter 2009. At
constant currency, Devices & Services net sales would have increased 7%. The net
sales increase resulted primarily from higher volumes in most regions driven by
stronger demand, partially offset by an ASP decline, compared to the first
quarter 2009.
The following chart sets out Devices & Services net sales for the periods
indicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequential growth rates, by

Of our total Devices & Services net sales, services contributed EUR 148 million
in the first quarter 2010, compared with EUR 169 million in the fourth quarter
2009. Services billings in the first quarter 2010 were EUR 228 million, compared
with EUR 226 million in the fourth quarter 2009. Due to the divestment of the
security appliance business in April 2009, services net sales of EUR 150 million
and billings of EUR 166 million in the first quarter 2009 are not directly
comparable to services net sales and billings in the first quarter 2010.

Volume and Market Share: In the first quarter 2010, the total mobile device
volumes of Devices & Services were 107.8 million units, representing an increase
of 16% year-on-year and a decrease of 15% sequentially. The overall industry
mobile device volumes for the same period were 323 million units based on
Nokia's preliminary estimate, representing an increase of 11% year-on-year and a
decrease of 10% sequentially. Nokia's preliminary estimated mobile device market
share was 33% in the first quarter 2010, up from an estimated 32% in the first
quarter 2009 and down from an estimated 35% in the fourth quarter 2009. As
previously announced, beginning in 2010 we revised our definition of the
industry mobile device market that we use to estimate industry volumes. This is
due to improved measurement processes and tools that enable us to have better
visibility to estimate the number of mobile devices sold by certain new entrants
in the global mobile device market. We are applying the revised definition and
improved measurement processes and tools beginning in 2010, and retrospectively
to 2009 for comparative purposes only.
Of the total industry mobile device volumes, converged mobile device industry
volumes in the first quarter 2010 increased to 52.6 million units, based on
Nokia's preliminary estimate, compared with an estimated 36.0 million units in
the first quarter 2009 and 52.4 million units in the fourth quarter 2009. Our
own converged mobile device volumes, comprising our smartphones and mobile
computers, were 21.5 million units in the first quarter 2010, an increase of
57% compared with 13.7 million units in the first quarter 2009 and 3% compared
with 20.8 million units in the fourth quarter 2009. Nokia's preliminary
estimated share of the converged mobile device market was 41% in the first
quarter 2010, up from an estimated 38% in the first quarter 2009 and an
estimated 40% in the fourth quarter 2009.
The following chart sets out our mobile device volumes for the periods
indicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequential growth rates, by
geographic area.

Nokia's 16% year-on-year increase in global mobile device volumes was primarily
driven by an improved demand environment as economic conditions continued to
improve in most regions, compared with the difficult economic conditions of the
first quarter 2009. This improvement was offset to some extent by lower demand
for our mobile devices in some countries in Asia-Pacific and North America. On a
sequential basis, Nokia's 15% decline in global mobile device volumes primarily
reflected typical seasonal demand weakness in virtually all regions, offset to
some extent by strong demand in China during the New Year festive season in the
first quarter 2010. Demand was strong for our converged mobile devices in the
first quarter 2010. However, competitive pressures in the ultra-low to mid-range
product price bands, particularly in certain Asian countries, adversely affected
our mobile device volumes in the first quarter 2010.
Average Selling Price. Our mobile device average selling price (ASP) in the
first quarter 2010 was EUR 62, down from EUR 66 in the first quarter 2009 and
from EUR 64 in the fourth quarter 2009. The lower year-on-year ASP was primarily
due to general price erosion across our mobile device portfolio, offset to some
extent by a positive mix shift from sales of mobile phones towards sales of
converged mobile devices. On a sequential basis, our lower ASP was primarily
driven by price pressure, particularly in certain high-end smartphones, offset
to some extent by a positive mix shift from sales of mobile phones towards sales
of converged mobile devices. The year-on-year and sequential declines in our
converged mobile devices ASP's were mainly driven by an increase in the
proportion of such devices sold at lower price points consistent with our
strategy to reach wider groups of consumers and price pressure in certain
high-end smartphones in the first quarter 2010. As previously announced,
beginning in the first quarter 2010 our total ASP includes services net sales
given the increasing contribution of the services we sell in combination with
our devices.

indicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequential growth rates, by category.

Profitability: Devices & Services gross profit (reported and non-IFRS) increased
3% to EUR 2.2 billion, compared with EUR 2.1 billion in the first quarter 2009,
with a gross margin (reported and non-IFRS) of 32.4% (33.8%). Devices & Services
gross margin (reported and non-IFRS) was 34.3% in the fourth quarter 2009.
Overall, both the year-on-year and sequential gross margin declines were
primarily due to our product material costs declining at a lower rate than the
price erosion of our devices, especially in the high end of our mobile device
portfolio during the first quarter 2010. The year-on-year gross margin decline
was offset to some extent by a positive mix shift towards sales of higher-margin
converged mobile devices in the first quarter 2010. The first quarter 2009 gross
margin also benefited from more positive foreign exchange hedging than did the
gross margin in the first quarter 2010. Sequentially, the appreciation of the
Japanese Yen versus the Euro, lower royalty income and higher production
overhead costs relative to lower volumes in the first quarter 2010 also
contributed to the gross margin decline. Foreign exchange hedging had a positive
one-quarter impact on the gross margin in the first quarter 2010, compared to an
immaterial impact on the gross margin in the fourth quarter 2009.
Devices & Services reported operating profit increased 52% to EUR 831 million,
compared with EUR 547 million in the first quarter 2009, with a reported
operating margin of 12.5% (8.9%). Devices & Services non-IFRS operating profit
increased 25% to EUR 804 million, compared with EUR 642 million in the first
quarter 2009, with a non-IFRS operating margin of 12.1% (10.4%). The 25%
year-on-year increase in non-IFRS operating profit for the first quarter 2010
was driven primarily by higher net sales as well as lower operating and other
expenses.
Nokia is planning to deliver a family of smartphones based on the Symbian^3
software platform that is targeted to offer a clearly improved user experience,
a high standard of quality, and competitive value to consumers. We plan to
launch the first smartphone based on Symbian^3 during the second quarter 2010,
with shipments expected during the third quarter 2010.
NAVTEQ
Net Sales. First quarter 2010 NAVTEQ reported net sales increased 43%
year-on-year to EUR 189 million, compared with EUR 132 million in the first
quarter 2009, benefiting from growth in mobile device sales, particularly Nokia
mobile devices, and improved conditions in the automotive industry.
Profitability. In the first quarter 2010, NAVTEQ's reported gross profit
increased to EUR 160 million, compared with EUR 115 million in the first quarter
2009, with a gross margin of 84.7% (87.1%). Non-IFRS gross profit was EUR 160
million (EUR 117 million), with a non-IFRS gross margin of 84.7% (87.3%). In the
first quarter 2010, NAVTEQ's reported operating loss decreased to EUR 77
million, compared with a EUR 120 million loss in the first quarter 2009. The
reported operating margin was -40.7% (-90.9%). NAVTEQ's non-IFRS operating
profit was EUR 41 million (EUR 5 million), with a non-IFRS operating margin of
21.7% (3.7%) in the first quarter 2010.
Nokia Siemens Networks
Net Sales. First quarter 2010 net sales decreased 9% to EUR 2.7 billion,
compared with EUR 3.0 billion in the first quarter 2009, reflecting challenging
competitive factors and market conditions. At constant currency, Nokia Siemens
Networks net sales would have decreased 12%. Of total Nokia Siemens Networks net
sales, services contributed EUR 1.3 billion in the first quarter 2010.
The following chart sets out Nokia Siemens Networks net sales for the periods
indicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequential growth rates, by
geographic area.

Profitability. Nokia Siemens Networks reported gross profit increased 11% to EUR
782 million, compared with EUR 703 million in the first quarter 2009, with a
gross margin of 28.8% (23.5%). Nokia Siemens Networks non-IFRS gross profit
increased 12% to EUR 853 million, compared with EUR 764 million in the first
quarter 2009, with a non-IFRS gross margin of 31.4% (25.6%). The higher
year-on-year non-IFRS gross profit in the first quarter 2010 was due primarily
to continued progress on product cost reductions as well as an increased
proportion of sales of higher margin offerings during the quarter, offset to
some extent by lower net sales, compared to the first quarter 2009.
Nokia Siemens Networks first quarter 2010 reported operating loss was EUR 226
million, compared with a reported operating loss of EUR 361 million in the first
quarter 2009, with a reported operating margin of -8.3% (-12.1%). Nokia Siemens
Networks non-IFRS operating profit was EUR 15 million in the first quarter
2010, compared with a non-IFRS operating loss of EUR 122 million in the first
quarter 2009, with a non-IFRS operating margin of 0.6% (-4.1%). The year-on-year
improvement in Nokia Siemens Networks non-IFRS operating result primarily
reflected improved gross profitability as well as lower operating expenses.
