Nokia 3Q Sales EUR6.9 Billion -3-
Edited Press Release


Mobile Phones business group third-quarter net sales decreased 13% year on year to EUR4.4 billion. Compared to third quarter 2003, the market mix in the third quarter 2004 was more weighted towards low penetration markets where entry-level phones predominate.

Mid-range volumes grew, but this was not enough to counter balance the impact of the low penetration markets. Sales also continued to be impacted by the pricing actions primarily taken in the second quarter 2004.

Multimedia business group third-quarter net sales increased 94% year on year to EUR914 million as strong sales of imaging devices such as, the Nokia 7610 and Nokia 6600, continued.

Networks business group third-quarter net sales increased 21% year on year to EUR1.5 billion as a result of positive developments in Europe, Latin America and Asia as operators continued to expand network capacity and coverage.

Enterprise Solutions business group third-quarter net sales increased 52% year on year to EUR172 million, driven by the sales of business-focused mobile devices.

Mobile Phones operating profit was EUR822 million (EUR1.473 billion) with an 18.6% (28.8%) operating margin. Operating profits and margin continued to be impacted by the pricing actions primarily taken in the second quarter 2004.

In the third quarter, the success of imaging devices positively contributed to Multimedia's operating profit of EUR87 million and 9.5% operating margin.

Networks operating profit was EUR181 million (EUR4 million) with a 12.3% (0.3%) operating margin, as we anticipated. Third quarter 2004 operating profit was negatively impacted by research and development impairments in Networks totaling EUR38 million. This impairment was due to the discontinuation of activities linked to base station component horizontalization.

Enterprise Solutions operating loss was EUR66 million with an operating margin of -38.4%, in line with expectations.
