Nokia Corporation Interim Report for Q3 2016 and January-September 2016

 

Solid financial and operational performance across the company

 

Nokia Corporation

Interim Report

October 27, 2016 at 08:00 (CET +1)

This is a summary of the Nokia Corporation interim report for third quarter 2016 and January-September 2016 published today. The complete interim report for third quarter 2016 and January-September 2016 with tables is available at www.nokia.com/financials. Investors should not rely on summaries of our interim reports only, but should review the complete interim reports with tables.

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

·                  Non-IFRS net sales in Q3 2016 of EUR 6.0 billion (reported: EUR 5.9 billion). In the year-ago quarter, non-IFRS net sales would have been EUR 6.4 billion on a comparable combined company basis (reported: EUR 3.0 billion on a Nokia stand-alone basis).

 

·                  Non-IFRS diluted EPS in Q3 2016 of EUR 0.04 (reported: EUR negative 0.02).

 

Nokia’s Networks business

 

·                  12% year-on-year net sales decrease in Q3 2016. Consistent with our outlook for the wireless infrastructure market, net sales were weak in Mobile Networks within Ultra Broadband Networks, and accounted for approximately 80% of the overall decrease in Nokia’s Networks business. IP Networks and Applications also contributed to the decrease. This was partially offset by growth in Fixed Networks within Ultra Broadband Networks.

 

·                  In Q3 2016, solid gross margin of 37.2% and operating margin of 8.1%, supported by continued strong operational performance and cost controls.

 

Nokia Technologies

 

·                  109% year-on-year net sales increase and 168% operating profit increase in Q3 2016. Excluding the impact of non-recurring licensing income, Nokia Technologies net sales and operating profit both would have grown by approximately 50% year-on-year, primarily due to higher intellectual property licensing income and, to a lesser extent, increased net sales resulting from the acquisition of Withings.

 

Group Common and Other

 

·                  41% year-on-year net sales increase in Q3 2016, with particularly strong growth in Alcatel Submarine Networks.

(1)Results are as reported unless otherwise specified. The results information in this report is unaudited. Non-IFRS results exclude costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. For details, please refer to the Non-IFRS Exclusions section included in discussions of both the quarterly and year to date performance and note 2, “Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report. A reconciliation of the Q3 2015 non-IFRS combined company results to the reported results can be found in the “Nokia provides recast segment results for 2015 reflecting new financial reporting structure” stock exchange release published on April 22, 2016. Change in net sales at constant currency excludes the impact of changes in exchange rates in comparison to Euro, our reporting currency. For more information on currency exposures, please refer to note 1, “Basis of Preparation”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

(2)Combined company historicals reflect Nokia’s new operating and financial reporting structure, including Alcatel-Lucent, and are presented as additional information as described in the stock exchange release published on April 22, 2016. For more information on the combined company historicals, please refer to note 1, “Basis of Preparation”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

(3)Nokia standalone historicals are the recasting of Nokia’s historical standalone financial results, reflecting Nokia’s updated segment reporting structure, excluding Alcatel-Lucent. Beginning from the first quarter 2016, Nokia results include those of Alcatel-Lucent on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, Nokia results beginning from the first quarter 2016 are not directly comparable to prior period Nokia standalone results.

(4)Reported Q1-Q3’16 result is not comparable to the reported results published previously due to an update to the Alcatel-Lucent purchase price allocation in Q3’16 which resulted in an adjustment to the reported Q1’16 income tax benefit. Refer to note 6, “Acquisitions”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report for further details.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

New expiration date announced for Nokia’s public buy-out offer for Alcatel-Lucent securities; Squeeze-out expected to occur on November 2, 2016

 

On October 4, 2016, the French stock market authority (Autorité des marchés financiers, “AMF”) announced that a legal action was filed before the Paris Court of Appeal (the “Court”) on September 30, 2016 for annulment of the AMF’s clearance decision regarding Nokia’s public buy-out offer (the “Public Buy-Out Offer”), which would be followed by a squeeze-out (the “Squeeze-Out”, together with the Public Buy-Out Offer, the “Offer”), for all remaining securities of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

On October 25, 2016, the AMF announced the continuation of the timetable of the Offer and, accordingly, the Public Buy-Out Offer period will end on October 31, 2016 and the Squeeze-Out will be implemented on November 2, 2016. In connection with the continuation of the timetable, as a precautionary measure, Nokia has agreed to certain commitments that are in force until the decision of the Court, and in the event that the AMF’s clearance decision would be nullified or amended by the Court.

 

The legal challenge filed before the Court against the AMF’s clearance decision regarding the Offer is still pending and the Court is expected to issue a decision during the first quarter of 2017. Nokia believes that the Offer complies with all applicable laws and regulations and that the legal challenge is without merit.

 

Nokia adjusts planned share repurchase program to EUR 1.0 billion, after using approximately EUR 560 million in cash to acquire Alcatel-Lucent securities in order to reach the 95% squeeze-out threshold

 

On October 29, 2015, Nokia announced a EUR 7 billion Capital Structure Optimization Program, including EUR 1.5 billion of share repurchases. The shareholder distributions were calculated assuming ownership of all outstanding shares of Alcatel-Lucent and conversion of all Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent convertible bonds.

 

Nokia intended to reach the 95% squeeze-out threshold through the initial and subsequent public share exchange offers made in Q4 2015 and Q1 2016 for all outstanding Alcatel-Lucent securities. However, as the 95% threshold was not reached through the exchange offers, Nokia has, in addition to using its shares, used approximately EUR 560 million in cash to acquire Alcatel-Lucent securities in order to reach the 95% threshold. If the Alcatel-Lucent securities that were purchased in cash by Nokia would have instead been exchanged for Nokia shares at the 0.55 exchange ratio for Alcatel-Lucent shares or the 0.704 exchange ratio for the relevant Alcatel-Lucent convertible bonds, approximately 87 million more Nokia shares would have been issued. Ultimately, including the expected cash to be used for the Public Buy-Out Offer and Squeeze-Out of approximately EUR 630 million, Nokia expects to use a total of approximately EUR 1.2 billion in cash to acquire Alcatel-Lucent securities; and instead of having approximately 6 billion Nokia shares outstanding at the end of the transaction, Nokia now expects approximately 5.8 billion outstanding shares.

 

Nokia considers the approximately EUR 560 million in cash that was used to reach the 95% squeeze-out threshold as indirect share repurchases, and thus, part of the planned EUR 1.5 billion share repurchase program. Consequently, under Nokia’s Capital Structure Optimization program, Nokia has already completed EUR 560 million of indirect share repurchases and intends

to proceed with EUR 1.0 billion of share repurchases, starting after the completion of the squeeze-out and continuing through the end of 2017.

 

Nokia and China Huaxin continue negotiations to create a new joint venture combining Nokia China and Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell

 

Nokia and China Huaxin Post & Telecommunication Economy Development Center (“China Huaxin”) are continuing their discussions under the memorandum of understanding, as originally announced on August 28, 2015, to combine Nokia’s telecommunications infrastructure businesses in China (“Nokia China”) and Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell into a new joint venture.

 

The expected time frame to reach a definitive agreement was within nine months after completion of Nokia’s proposed combination with Alcatel-Lucent in January 2016. Due to the complexity of the negotiations, Nokia and China Huaxin have not reached final terms of how the new joint venture would be created. Therefore, Nokia and China Huaxin continue negotiations to create a new joint venture combining Nokia China and Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell, while continuing to operate under the existing interim operating agreement.

 

NON-IFRS RESULTS

 

Non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information regarding underlying business performance

 

In addition to information on our reported IFRS results, we provide certain information on a non-IFRS, or underlying business performance, basis. We believe that our non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokia’s underlying business performance by excluding the below-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.

 

Non-IFRS results exclude costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. The non-IFRS exclusions are not allocated to the segments, and hence they are reported only at the Nokia consolidated level.

 

Financial discussion

 

The financial discussion included in this interim report of Nokia’s results comprises the results of Nokia’s businesses — Nokia’s Networks business and Nokia Technologies, as well as Group Common and Other. For more information on the changes to our reportable segments, please refer to note 3, “Segment information and eliminations”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

 

In the discussion of Nokia’s results in the third quarter 2016 comparisons are given to the third quarter 2015 and second quarter 2016 results on a combined company basis, unless otherwise

indicated. This data has been prepared to reflect the financial results of the continuing operations of Nokia as if the new financial reporting structure had been in operation for the full year 2015. Certain accounting policy alignments, adjustments and reclassifications have been necessary, and these are explained in the “Basis of preparation” section of Nokia’s stock exchange release published on April 22, 2016. These adjustments also include reallocation of items of costs and expenses based on their nature and changes to the definition of the line items in the combined company accounting policies, which also affect numbers presented in these interim financial statements for 2015.

 

In the discussion of Nokia’s reported results for the third quarter 2016 and January-September 2016 comparisons are given to the third quarter 2015 and January-September 2015 Nokia standalone historical results, which have been recast to reflect Nokia’s updated segment reporting structure excluding Alcatel-Lucent, unless otherwise indicated. From the beginning of 2016, Nokia’s results include those of Alcatel-Lucent on a consolidated basis and accordingly are not directly comparable to Nokia standalone historical results.

 

CEO STATEMENT

 

Nokia delivered solid third quarter results. Nokia Technologies led the way, with a sharp year-on-year increase in net sales, largely driven by revenues related to the Samsung licensing agreement that was announced in Q3. The results also reflect another excellent quarter from Fixed Networks, which improved both net sales and profitability from one year ago.

 

When we announced our second quarter results in August, we said that we expected to see slight sequential improvement in both net sales and operating margin in the third quarter in our Networks business, and we delivered in both of those areas. I was particularly pleased with our operating margin performance in the quarter, which reflects the strong, focused execution across the organization.

 

We were able to deliver these solid results despite market conditions that are softer than expected, particularly in mobile infrastructure. As we look forward, we expect those conditions to stabilize somewhat in 2017, with the primary addressable market in which Nokia competes likely to decline in the low single digits for that year.

 

I believe that Nokia remains well-positioned for this environment. Our disciplined operating model of tight cost controls, prudent investment and focused innovation; our constant industrialization of best practices across the company; our structured approach to fast integration and synergy capture — all help give us a competitive advantage.

 

In addition, the power of our broad portfolio was evident in the quarter. We have the unique scope necessary to be able to design and deliver end-to-end networks and thus anchor ourselves in the long-term purchasing strategies of our customers. We also have the capability to diversify into new areas where high-performance, end-to-end networks are increasingly required, such as for large Internet and enterprise vertical market companies. We are seeing good growth in these segments, and have plans to target them further as we move forward.

 

6



 

While the fourth quarter is expected to be soft from a topline perspective, I believe that we will meet our guidance for our Networks business of significant sequential sales and operating margin increase for Q4 and our full-year operating margin guidance of 7% to 9%. In short, we remain on track in our execution and focused on creating value for our customers and shareholders.

Sequentially, Nokia’s non-IFRS gross profit, non-IFRS other income and expense and non-IFRS operating profit benefitted from the absence of an adverse effect related to a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery in Q2 2016.

 

NOKIA IN Q3 2016 — REPORTED

 

FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

 

Net sales

 

Nokia net sales increased 94% year-on-year, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, and increased 5% sequentially. On a constant currency basis, Nokia net sales would have increased 95% year-on-year, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, and 5% sequentially.

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

The year-on-year increase in Nokia net sales in the third quarter 2016, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, was primarily due to growth in Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other, both of which primarily related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, as well as growth in Nokia Technologies. This was partially offset by purchase price allocation adjustment related to the reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.

 

Sequential discussion

 

The sequential increase in Nokia net sales in the third quarter 2016 was primarily due to growth in Nokia Technologies and Nokia’s Networks business, the positive impact related to the purchase price allocation adjustment associated with the reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition and growth in Group Common and Other.

 

Operating profit

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

The year-on-year decrease in Nokia operating profit, compared to Nokia standalone operating profit, was primarily due to higher research and development (“R&D”) expenses and higher selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit, all of which related primarily to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business and, to a lesser extent, Nokia Technologies and Group Common and Other, partially offset by non-IFRS exclusions related to deferred revenue.

 

The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, non-IFRS exclusions related to amortization of intangible assets and, to a lesser extent, Group Common and Other and Nokia Technologies.

 

The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, non-IFRS exclusions related to amortization of intangible assets, as well as transaction and integration related costs and, to a lesser extent, Group Common and Other and Nokia Technologies.

 

8



 

Nokia’s other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 39 million in the third quarter 2016, compared to an expense of EUR 80 million in the year-ago period. The net positive fluctuation was primarily related to non-IFRS exclusions attributable to lower restructuring and associated charges, partially offset by the absence of realized gains related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds.

 

Sequential discussion

 

Nokia operating profit increased primarily due to lower restructuring and associated charges and higher gross profit. Sequentially, Nokia’s gross profit benefitted from the absence of an adverse effect related to a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery in Q2 2016.

 

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to Nokia Technologies.

 

Nokia’s other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 39 million in the third quarter 2016, compared to an expense of EUR 643 million in the second quarter 2016. The decrease was primarily due to lower restructuring and associated charges. Sequentially, Nokia’s other income and expense benefitted from the absence of an adverse effect related to a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery in Q2 2016.

 

Description of non-IFRS exclusions in Q3 2016

 

Non-IFRS exclusions consist of costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. For additional details, please refer to note 2, “Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation, Continuing Operations”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

(1)Nokia standalone historicals are the recasting of Nokia’s historical standalone financial results, reflecting Nokia’s updated segment reporting structure, excluding Alcatel-Lucent. Beginning from the first quarter 2016, Nokia results include those of Alcatel-Lucent on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, Nokia results beginning from the first quarter 2016 are not directly comparable to prior period Nokia standalone results.

Net sales

 

In the third quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in net sales amounted to EUR 60 million, and related to purchase price allocation adjustment related to the reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.

 

Operating profit

 

In the third quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit amounted to EUR 501 million, and were attributable to non-IFRS exclusions that negatively affected gross profit, R&D, SG&A and other income and expenses as follows:

 

In the third quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in gross profit amounted to EUR 149 million, and primarily due to product portfolio integration costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, and the deferred revenue.

 

In the third quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in R&D expenses amounted to EUR 179 million, and primarily related to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and, to a lesser extent, product portfolio integration costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

In the third quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in SG&A expenses amounted to EUR 145 million, and primarily related to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, as well as integration and transaction related costs.

 

In the third quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in other income and expenses amounted to EUR 29 million, and primarily related to EUR 34 million of restructuring and associated charges for Nokia’s cost reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives.

Annual cost savings for Nokia, excluding Nokia Technologies

 

Approximately EUR 1.2 billion of total annual cost savings to be achieved in full year 2018

 

Compared to the combined non-IFRS operating costs of Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent for full year 2015, excluding Nokia Technologies.

Under this expanded cost savings program, restructuring and associated charges are expected to total approximately EUR 1.2 billion, of which approximately EUR 640 million was recorded as of Q3 2016.

Related restructuring and associated cash outflows are expected to total approximately EUR 1.65 billion, of which approximately EUR 230 million was recorded as of Q3 2016.

In addition to the above amounts, note that Nokia’s overall charges and cash outflows will also include amounts related to network equipment swaps. The charges related to network equipment swaps will be recorded as non-IFRS exclusions and, therefore, will not affect Nokia’s non-IFRS operating profit.

 

 

FY16 Non-IFRS financial income and expense

 

Expense of approximately EUR 300 million

 

Primarily includes net interest expenses related to interest-bearing liabilities, interest costs related to the defined benefit pension and other post-employment benefit plans, as well as the impact from changes in foreign exchange rates on certain balance sheet items. This outlook may vary subject to changes in the above listed items.

 

 

FY16 Non-IFRS tax rate

 

Approximately 40% for Q4 2016 and above 40% for full year 2016 (update)

 

The increase in the non-IFRS tax rate for the combined company, compared to Nokia on a standalone basis, is primarily attributable to unfavorable changes in the regional profit mix as a result of the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent. Nokia expects its effective long-term non-IFRS tax rate to be clearly below the full year 2016 level, and intends to provide further commentary later in 2016. (This update adds Q4 2016 guidance to unchanged full year 2016 guidance.)

 

 

FY16 Cash outflows related to taxes

 

Approximately EUR 400 million

 

May vary due to profit levels in different jurisdictions and the amount of licensing income subject to withholding tax.

 

 

FY16 Capital expenditures

 

Approximately EUR 550 million (update)

 

Primarily attributable to Nokia’s Networks business. (This is an update to the earlier outlook for EUR 650 million.)

Combined company net sales and operating margin are expected to be influenced by factors including:

·             A declining capital expenditure environment in 2016 for our overall addressable market (this is an update to the earlier guidance commentary for a flattish capital expenditure environment);

·             A declining wireless infrastructure market in 2016;

·             Significant focus on the integration of Alcatel-Lucent, particularly in the first half of 2016;

·             Significant QoQ net sales growth and operating margin expansion in Q4 2016;

·             Net sales declining YoY in Q4 2016 at an approximately similar rate as in Q3 2016 (new commentary);

·             Competitive industry dynamics;

·             Product and regional mix;

·             The timing of major network deployments; and

·             Execution of cost savings plans.

Nokia Technologies

 

FY16 Net sales

 

Not provided

 

Due to risks and uncertainties in determining the timing and value of significant licensing agreements, Nokia believes it is not appropriate to provide an annual outlook for fiscal year 2016. Nokia expects annualized net sales related to patent and brand licensing to grow to a run rate of approximately EUR 950 million by the end of 2016. License agreements which currently contribute approximately EUR 150 million to the annualized net sales run rate are set to expire before the end of 2016. If we do not renew these license agreements, nor sign any new licensing agreements, the annualized net sales run rate would be approximately EUR 800 million in early 2017. Furthermore, the contribution of the Withings acquisition to Nokia Technologies net sales is expected to be approximately EUR 50 million in the second half of 2016, with strong Q4 seasonality. The contribution of the acquisition to Nokia Technologies operating profit is expected to be slightly negative for the second half of 2016.

Interim Report for Q3 2016 and January-September 2016

 

Solid financial and operational performance across the company

 

Financial highlights

 

·             Non-IFRS net sales in Q3 2016 of EUR 6.0 billion (reported: EUR 5.9 billion). In the year-ago quarter, non-IFRS net sales would have been EUR 6.4 billion on a comparable combined company basis (reported: EUR 3.0 billion on a Nokia stand-alone basis).

 

·             Non-IFRS diluted EPS in Q3 2016 of EUR 0.04 (reported: EUR negative 0.02).

 

Nokia’s Networks business

 

·             12% year-on-year net sales decrease in Q3 2016. Consistent with our outlook for the wireless infrastructure market, net sales were weak in Mobile Networks within Ultra Broadband Networks, and accounted for approximately 80% of the overall decrease in Nokia’s Networks business. IP Networks and Applications also contributed to the decrease. This was partially offset by growth in Fixed Networks within Ultra Broadband Networks.

 

·             In Q3 2016, solid gross margin of 37.2% and operating margin of 8.1%, supported by continued strong operational performance and cost controls.

 

Nokia Technologies

 

·             109% year-on-year net sales increase and 168% operating profit increase in Q3 2016. Excluding the impact of non-recurring licensing income, Nokia Technologies net sales and operating profit both would have grown by approximately 50% year-on-year, primarily due to higher intellectual property licensing income and, to a lesser extent, increased net sales resulting from the acquisition of Withings.

 

Group Common and Other

 

·             41% year-on-year net sales increase in Q3 2016, with particularly strong growth in Alcatel Submarine Networks.

(1)Results are as reported unless otherwise specified. The results information in this report is unaudited. Non-IFRS results exclude costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. For details, please refer to the Non-IFRS Exclusions section included in discussions of both the quarterly and year to date performance and note 2, “Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report. A reconciliation of the Q3 2015 non-IFRS combined company results to the reported results can be found in the “Nokia provides recast segment results for 2015 reflecting new financial reporting structure” stock exchange release published on April 22, 2016. Change in net sales at constant currency excludes the impact of changes in exchange rates in comparison to Euro, our reporting currency. For more information on currency exposures, please refer to note 1, “Basis of Preparation”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

 

(2)Combined company historicals reflect Nokia’s new operating and financial reporting structure, including Alcatel-Lucent, and are presented as additional information as described in the stock exchange release published on April 22, 2016. For more information on the combined company historicals, please refer to note 1, “Basis of Preparation”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

 

(3)Nokia standalone historicals are the recasting of Nokia’s historical standalone financial results, reflecting Nokia’s updated segment reporting structure, excluding Alcatel-Lucent. Beginning from the first quarter 2016, Nokia results include those of Alcatel-Lucent on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, Nokia results beginning from the first quarter 2016 are not directly comparable to prior period Nokia standalone results.

 

(4)Reported Q1-Q3’16 result is not comparable to the reported results published previously due to an update to the Alcatel-Lucent purchase price allocation in Q3’16 which resulted in an adjustment to the reported Q1’16 income tax benefit. Refer to note 6, “Acquisitions”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report for further details.

 

Subsequent events

 

New expiration date announced for Nokia’s public buy-out offer for Alcatel-Lucent securities; Squeeze-out expected to occur on November 2, 2016

 

On October 4, 2016, the French stock market authority (Autorité des marchés financiers, “AMF”) announced that a legal action was filed before the Paris Court of Appeal (the “Court”) on September 30, 2016 for annulment of the AMF’s clearance decision regarding Nokia’s public buy-out offer (the “Public Buy-Out Offer”),

 

3



 

which would be followed by a squeeze-out (the “Squeeze-Out”, together with the Public Buy-Out Offer, the “Offer”), for all remaining securities of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

On October 25, 2016, the AMF announced the continuation of the timetable of the Offer and, accordingly, the Public Buy-Out Offer period will end on October 31, 2016 and the Squeeze-Out will be implemented on November 2, 2016. In connection with the continuation of the timetable, as a precautionary measure, Nokia has agreed to certain commitments that are in force until the decision of the Court, and in the event that the AMF’s clearance decision would be nullified or amended by the Court.

 

The legal challenge filed before the Court against the AMF’s clearance decision regarding the Offer is still pending and the Court is expected to issue a decision during the first quarter of 2017. Nokia believes that the Offer complies with all applicable laws and regulations and that the legal challenge is without merit.

 

Nokia adjusts planned share repurchase program to EUR 1.0 billion, after using approximately EUR 560 million in cash to acquire Alcatel-Lucent securities in order to reach the 95% squeeze-out threshold

 

On October 29, 2015, Nokia announced a EUR 7 billion Capital Structure Optimization Program, including EUR 1.5 billion of share repurchases. The shareholder distributions were calculated assuming ownership of all outstanding shares of Alcatel-Lucent and conversion of all Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent convertible bonds.

 

Nokia intended to reach the 95% squeeze-out threshold through the initial and subsequent public share exchange offers made in Q4 2015 and Q1 2016 for all outstanding Alcatel-Lucent securities. However, as the 95% threshold was not reached through the exchange offers, Nokia has, in addition to using its shares, used approximately EUR 560 million in cash to acquire Alcatel-Lucent securities in order to reach the 95% threshold. If the Alcatel-Lucent securities that were purchased in cash by Nokia would have instead been exchanged for Nokia shares at the 0.55 exchange ratio for Alcatel-Lucent shares or the 0.704 exchange ratio for the relevant Alcatel-Lucent convertible bonds, approximately 87 million more Nokia shares would have been issued. Ultimately, including the expected cash to be used for the Public Buy-Out Offer and Squeeze-Out of approximately EUR 630 million, Nokia expects to use a total of approximately EUR 1.2 billion in cash to acquire Alcatel-Lucent securities; and instead of having approximately 6 billion Nokia shares outstanding at the end of the transaction, Nokia now expects approximately 5.8 billion outstanding shares.

 

Nokia considers the approximately EUR 560 million in cash that was used to reach the 95% squeeze-out threshold as indirect share repurchases, and thus, part of the planned EUR 1.5 billion share repurchase program. Consequently, under Nokia’s Capital Structure Optimization program, Nokia has already completed EUR 560 million of indirect share repurchases and intends to proceed with EUR 1.0 billion of share repurchases, starting after the completion of the squeeze-out and continuing through the end of 2017.

Nokia and China Huaxin continue negotiations to create a new joint venture combining Nokia China and Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell

 

Nokia and China Huaxin Post & Telecommunication Economy Development Center (“China Huaxin”) are continuing their discussions under the memorandum of understanding, as originally announced on August 28, 2015, to combine Nokia’s telecommunications infrastructure businesses in China (“Nokia China”) and Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell into a new joint venture.

 

The expected time frame to reach a definitive agreement was within nine months after completion of Nokia’s proposed combination with Alcatel-Lucent in January 2016. Due to the complexity of the negotiations, Nokia and China Huaxin have not reached final terms of how the new joint venture would be created. Therefore, Nokia and China Huaxin continue negotiations to create a new joint venture combining Nokia China and Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell, while continuing to operate under the existing interim operating agreement.

 

Non-IFRS results

 

Non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information regarding underlying business performance

 

In addition to information on our reported IFRS results, we provide certain information on a non-IFRS, or underlying business performance, basis. We believe that our non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokia’s underlying business performance by excluding the below-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.

 

Non-IFRS results exclude costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. The non-IFRS exclusions are not allocated to the segments, and hence they are reported only at the Nokia consolidated level.

 

Financial discussion

 

The financial discussion included in this interim report of Nokia’s results comprises the results of Nokia’s businesses — Nokia’s Networks business and Nokia Technologies, as well as Group Common and Other. For more information on the changes to our reportable segments, please refer to note 3, “Segment information and eliminations”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

 

In the discussion of Nokia’s results in the third quarter 2016 comparisons are given to the third quarter 2015 and second quarter 2016 results on a combined company basis, unless otherwise indicated. This data has been

prepared to reflect the financial results of the continuing operations of Nokia as if the new financial reporting structure had been in operation for the full year 2015. Certain accounting policy alignments, adjustments and reclassifications have been necessary, and these are explained in the “Basis of preparation” section of Nokia’s stock exchange release published on April 22, 2016. These adjustments also include reallocation of items of costs and expenses based on their nature and changes to the definition of the line items in the combined company accounting policies, which also affect numbers presented in these interim financial statements for 2015.

 

In the discussion of Nokia’s reported results for the third quarter 2016 and January-September 2016 comparisons are given to the third quarter 2015 and January-September 2015 Nokia standalone historical results, which have been recast to reflect Nokia’s updated segment reporting structure excluding Alcatel-Lucent, unless otherwise indicated. From the beginning of 2016, Nokia’s results include those of Alcatel-Lucent on a consolidated basis and accordingly are not directly comparable to Nokia standalone historical results.

CEO statement

 

Nokia delivered solid third quarter results. Nokia Technologies led the way, with a sharp year-on-year increase in net sales, largely driven by revenues related to the Samsung licensing agreement that was announced in Q3. The results also reflect another excellent quarter from Fixed Networks, which improved both net sales and profitability from one year ago.

 

When we announced our second quarter results in August, we said that we expected to see slight sequential improvement in both net sales and operating margin in the third quarter in our Networks business, and we delivered in both of those areas. I was particularly pleased with our operating margin performance in the quarter, which reflects the strong, focused execution across the organization.

 

We were able to deliver these solid results despite market conditions that are softer than expected, particularly in mobile infrastructure. As we look forward, we expect those conditions to stabilize somewhat in 2017, with the primary addressable market in which Nokia competes likely to decline in the low single digits for that year.

 

I believe that Nokia remains well-positioned for this environment. Our disciplined operating model of tight cost controls, prudent investment and focused innovation; our constant industrialization of best practices across the company; our structured approach to fast integration and synergy capture — all help give us a competitive advantage.

 

In addition, the power of our broad portfolio was evident in the quarter. We have the unique scope necessary to be able to design and deliver end-to-end networks and thus anchor ourselves in the long-term purchasing strategies of our customers. We also have the capability to diversify into new areas where high-performance, end-to-end networks are increasingly required, such as for large Internet and enterprise vertical market companies. We are seeing good growth in these segments, and have plans to target them further as we move forward.

 

While the fourth quarter is expected to be soft from a topline perspective, I believe that we will meet our guidance for our Networks business of significant sequential sales and operating margin increase for Q4 and our full-year operating margin guidance of 7% to 9%. In short, we remain on track in our execution and focused on creating value for our customers and shareholders.

Nokia in Q3 2016 — Reported

 

 

Financial discussion

 

Net sales

 

Nokia net sales increased 94% year-on-year, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, and increased 5% sequentially. On a constant currency basis, Nokia net sales would have increased 95% year-on-year, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, and 5% sequentially.

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

The year-on-year increase in Nokia net sales in the third quarter 2016, compared to Nokia standalone net sales, was primarily due to growth in Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other, both of which primarily related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, as well as growth in Nokia Technologies. This was partially offset by purchase price allocation adjustment related to the reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.

 

Sequential discussion

 

The sequential increase in Nokia net sales in the third quarter 2016 was primarily due to growth in Nokia Technologies and Nokia’s Networks business, the positive impact related to the purchase price allocation adjustment associated with the reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition and growth in Group Common and Other.

 

10



 

Operating profit

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

The year-on-year decrease in Nokia operating profit, compared to Nokia standalone operating profit, was primarily due to higher research and development (“R&D”) expenses and higher selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit, all of which related primarily to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business and, to a lesser extent, Nokia Technologies and Group Common and Other, partially offset by non-IFRS exclusions related to deferred revenue.

 

The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, non-IFRS exclusions related to amortization of intangible assets and, to a lesser extent, Group Common and Other and Nokia Technologies.

 

The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, non-IFRS exclusions related to amortization of intangible assets, as well as transaction and integration related costs and, to a lesser extent, Group Common and Other and Nokia Technologies.

 

Nokia’s other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 39 million in the third quarter 2016, compared to an expense of EUR 80 million in the year-ago period. The net positive fluctuation was primarily related to non-IFRS exclusions attributable to lower restructuring and associated charges, partially offset by the absence of realized gains related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds.

 

Sequential discussion

 

Nokia operating profit increased primarily due to lower restructuring and associated charges and higher gross profit. Sequentially, Nokia’s gross profit benefitted from the absence of an adverse effect related to a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery in Q2 2016.

 

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to Nokia Technologies.

 

Nokia’s other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 39 million in the third quarter 2016, compared to an expense of EUR 643 million in the second quarter 2016. The decrease was primarily due to lower restructuring and associated charges. Sequentially, Nokia’s other income and expense benefitted from the absence of an adverse effect related to a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery in Q2 2016.

 

Description of non-IFRS exclusions in Q3 2016

 

Non-IFRS exclusions consist of costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. For additional details, please refer to note 2, “Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation, Continuing Operations”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

(1)Nokia standalone historicals are the recasting of Nokia’s historical standalone financial results, reflecting Nokia’s updated segment reporting structure, excluding Alcatel-Lucent. Beginning from the first quarter 2016, Nokia results include those of Alcatel-Lucent on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, Nokia results beginning from the first quarter 2016 are not directly comparable to prior period Nokia standalone results.

 

Net sales

 

In the third quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in net sales amounted to EUR 60 million, and related to purchase price allocation adjustment related to the reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.

 

Operating profit

 

In the third quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit amounted to EUR 501 million, and were attributable to non-IFRS exclusions that negatively affected gross profit, R&D, SG&A and other income and expenses as follows:

 

In the third quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in gross profit amounted to EUR 149 million, and primarily due to product portfolio integration costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, and the deferred revenue.

 

In the third quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in R&D expenses amounted to EUR 179 million, and primarily related to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and, to a lesser extent, product portfolio integration costs related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

In the third quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in SG&A expenses amounted to EUR 145 million, and primarily related to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, as well as integration and transaction related costs.

 

12



 

In the third quarter 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in other income and expenses amounted to EUR 29 million, and primarily related to EUR 34 million of restructuring and associated charges for Nokia’s cost reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives.

 

Cost savings program

 

The following table summarizes the financial information related to our cost savings program, as of the end of the third quarter 2016. Balances related to previous Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent restructuring and cost savings programs have been included as part of this overall cost savings program.

Annual cost savings for Nokia, excluding Nokia Technologies

 

Approximately EUR 1.2 billion of total annual cost savings to be achieved in full year 2018

 

Compared to the combined non-IFRS operating costs of Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent for full year 2015, excluding Nokia Technologies.

 

Under this expanded cost savings program, restructuring and associated charges are expected to total approximately EUR 1.2 billion, of which approximately EUR 640 million was recorded as of Q3 2016.

 

Related restructuring and associated cash outflows are expected to total approximately EUR 1.65 billion, of which approximately EUR 230 million was recorded as of Q3 2016.

 

In addition to the above amounts, note that Nokia’s overall charges and cash outflows will also include amounts related to network equipment swaps. The charges related to network equipment swaps will be recorded as non-IFRS exclusions and, therefore, will not affect Nokia’s non-IFRS operating profit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FY16 Non-IFRS financial income and expense

 

Expense of approximately EUR 300 million

 

Primarily includes net interest expenses related to interest-bearing liabilities, interest costs related to the defined benefit pension and other post-employment benefit plans, as well as the impact from changes in foreign exchange rates on certain balance sheet items. This outlook may vary subject to changes in the above listed items.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FY16 Non-IFRS tax rate

 

Approximately 40% for Q4 2016 and above 40% for full year 2016 (update)

 

The increase in the non-IFRS tax rate for the combined company, compared to Nokia on a standalone basis, is primarily attributable to unfavorable changes in the regional profit mix as a result of the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent. Nokia expects its effective long-term non-IFRS tax rate to be clearly below the full year 2016 level, and intends to provide further commentary later in 2016. (This update adds Q4 2016 guidance to unchanged full year 2016 guidance.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FY16 Cash outflows related to taxes

 

Approximately EUR 400 million

 

May vary due to profit levels in different jurisdictions and the amount of licensing income subject to withholding tax.

FY16 Net sales

 

Not provided

 

Due to risks and uncertainties in determining the timing and value of significant licensing agreements, Nokia believes it is not appropriate to provide an annual outlook for fiscal year 2016. Nokia expects annualized net sales related to patent and brand licensing to grow to a run rate of approximately EUR 950 million by the end of 2016. License agreements which currently contribute approximately EUR 150 million to the annualized net sales run rate are set to expire before the end of 2016. If we do not renew these license agreements, nor sign any new licensing agreements, the annualized net sales run rate would be approximately EUR 800 million in early 2017. Furthermore, the contribution of the Withings acquisition to Nokia Technologies net sales is expected to be approximately EUR 50 million in the second half of 2016, with strong Q4 seasonality. The contribution of the acquisition to Nokia Technologies operating profit is expected to be slightly negative for the second half of 2016.

Financial discussion

 

Net sales

 

IP Networks and Applications net sales decreased 9% year-on-year and were approximately flat sequentially. On a constant currency basis, IP Networks and Applications net sales would have decreased 8% year-on-year and 1% sequentially.

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

The year-on-year decrease in IP Networks and Applications net sales in the third quarter 2016 was due to both IP/Optical Networks and Applications & Analytics.

 

The decrease in IP/Optical Networks net sales was due to IP routing, partially offset by optical networks. For IP routing, the decrease was primarily related to certain customers in Europe and North America. In North America the decrease was primarily due to lower packet core deployments. In addition, IP routing net sales were negatively affected by lower resale of third party IP routers. For optical networks, the increase was primarily

related to continued momentum with certain customers in North America, partially offset by decrease related to certain customers in Latin America.

 

The decrease in Applications & Analytics net sales was due to broad based declines across most business lines and regions. Due to the long sales cycle in software, Applications & Analytics net sales in Q3 2016 continued to be negatively impacted by the large number of software licenses sold in 2015. This was partially offset by Applications & Analytics’ continued transformation efforts, which includes building dedicated software sales capability, improving overall go-to-market efforts and transforming R&D, where it is targeting to have all of its strategic product lines built on a common software platform; progress in Q3 2016 was made particularly in the areas of sales resources and services delivery.

 

Sequential discussion

 

On a sequential basis, the approximately flat net sales in IP Networks and Applications in the third quarter 2016 reflected a decline in IP/Optical Networks partially offset by an increase in Applications & Analytics. Sequentially, IP Networks and Applications net sales benefitted from the absence of an adverse effect related to a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery in Q2 2016.

 

The decrease in IP/Optical Networks net sales was due to both IP routing and optical networks. For IP routing, the decrease was primarily related to certain customers in North America and China. For optical networks, the decrease was primarily related to certain customers in Latin America and Europe.

 

The increase in Applications & Analytics net sales was primarily due to increases across most business lines, with particular strength with Tier 1 customers in North America.

 

Operating profit

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

On a year-on-year basis, in the third quarter 2016, IP Networks and Applications operating profit decreased primarily due to lower gross profit and, to a lesser extent, higher SG&A expenses.

 

The decrease in IP Networks and Applications gross profit was due to both Applications & Analytics and IP/Optical Networks. The decrease in gross profit in Applications & Analytics was due to lower net sales and lower gross margin. The decrease in gross profit in IP/Optical Networks was primarily due to lower net sales.

 

The increase in IP Networks and Applications SG&A expenses was primarily due to investments to support sales diversification in IP/Optical Networks.

 

Sequential discussion

 

On a sequential basis, in the third quarter 2016, IP Networks and Applications operating profit increased primarily due to a net positive fluctuation in other income and expenses. Sequentially, IP Networks and Applications operating profit benefitted from the absence of an adverse effect related to a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery in Q2 2016.

Financial discussion

 

Net sales

 

In Q3 2016, Nokia Technologies net sales increased 109% year-on-year and 82% sequentially, on both a reported and constant currency basis.

 

Year-on-year and sequential discussion

 

The year-on-year and sequential increase in Nokia Technologies net sales in the third quarter 2016 was primarily due to non-recurring net sales and higher intellectual property licensing income, both of which primarily related to an expanded license agreement. The non-recurring net sales totaled approximately EUR 100 million in the third quarter 2016. To a lesser extent, the year-on-year and sequential increase in Nokia Technologies net sales was also attributable to the acquisition of Withings.

 

Operating profit

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

The year-on-year increase in Nokia Technologies operating profit was primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A and R&D expenses.

 

The increase in Nokia Technologies gross profit was primarily due to higher net sales.

 

The increase in Nokia Technologies R&D expenses was primarily due to higher investments in the areas of digital media and digital health, partially offset by lower patent portfolio costs. The higher R&D expenses in digital health was primarily due to the acquisition of Withings.

Financial discussion

 

Net sales

 

Group Common and Other net sales increased 41% year-on-year and 10% sequentially. On a constant currency basis, Group Common and Other net sales would have increased 40% year-on-year and 9% sequentially.

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

The year-on-year increase in Group Common and Other net sales in the third quarter 2016 was primarily due to Alcatel Submarine Networks and, to a lesser extent, Radio Frequency Systems.

 

Sequential discussion

 

The sequential increase in Group Common and Other net sales in the third quarter 2016 was primarily due to Alcatel Submarine Networks.

 

Operating profit

 

Year-on-year discussion

 

On a year-on-year basis, in the third quarter 2016, Group Common and Other operating loss increased primarily due to a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses and higher SG&A expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit.

 

The increase in Group Common and Other gross profit was primarily due to Alcatel Submarine Networks.

 

Group Common and Other other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 11 million in the third quarter 2016, compared to an income of EUR 19 million in the year-ago quarter. On a year-on-year basis, the change was primarily due to the absence of realized gains related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds.

 

Sequential discussion

 

On a sequential basis, in the third quarter 2016, Group Common and Other operating loss increased primarily due to lower gross profit.

 

The decrease in Group Common and Other gross profit was primarily due to lower allocations and lower gross profit in Alcatel Submarine Networks. The lower gross profit in Alcatel Submarine Networks was primarily due to lower gross margin, partially offset by higher net sales.

(1)Total cash and other liquid assets consist of the following line items from our consolidated statement of financial position: Cash and cash equivalents (bank and cash as well as available-for-sale investments, cash equivalents), available-for sale investments, liquid assets and investments at fair value through profit and loss, liquid assets. Net cash and other liquid assets equals total cash and other liquid assets less long-term interest-bearing liabilities and less short-term interest-bearing liabilities. For details, please refer to note 15, “Notes to the consolidated statement of cash flows”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

(2)Beginning from the first quarter 2016, Nokia results include those of Alcatel-Lucent on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, Nokia results beginning from the first quarter 2016 are not directly comparable to prior period Nokia standalone results.

 

In the third quarter 2016, Nokia’s total cash and other liquid assets decreased by EUR 1 595 million and Nokia’s net cash and other liquid assets decreased by EUR 1 538 million.

 

Foreign exchange rates had an approximately EUR 30 million negative impact on net cash.

 

During the third quarter 2016, the remaining unsettled Alcatel-Lucent convertible bonds were reclassified from interest-bearing liabilities to other liabilities, resulting in an approximately EUR 40 million positive impact to net cash.

 

On a sequential basis, net cash and other liquid assets were affected by the following factors:

 

 

35



 

In the third quarter 2016, Nokia’s net cash from operating activities was approximately positive EUR 230 million:

 

·             Nokia’s adjusted net profit before changes in net working capital was EUR 627 million in the third quarter 2016.

 

·             Total cash outflows related to working capital were approximately EUR 280 million.

 

·                  Nokia had approximately EUR 200 million of restructuring and associated cash outflows in the third quarter 2016. Excluding this, net working capital generated a decrease in net cash of approximately EUR 80 million, primarily due to a decrease in short-term liabilities, partially offset by decreases in both inventories and receivables.

 

·                  The cash outflows related to the decrease in short-term liabilities of approximately EUR 460 million were primarily due to decreases in VAT payables, accounts payables and a negative impact from realized foreign exchange.

 

·                  The cash inflows related to the decrease in inventories were approximately EUR 120 million.

 

·                  The cash inflows related to the decrease in receivables were approximately EUR 250 million.

 

·             In addition, Nokia’s cash outflows related to income taxes were approximately EUR 70 million and cash outflows of approximately EUR 50 million related to net interest.

 

In the third quarter 2016, Nokia’s net cash outflows from investing activities primarily related to decreases in net cash of approximately EUR 120 million due to the acquisition of businesses and approximately EUR 170 million due to capital expenditures, partially offset by cash inflows of approximately EUR 50 million related to the foreign exchange impact on short-term loans receivable and cash inflows of approximately EUR 40 million related to the disposal of businesses and sale of fixed assets.

 

In the third quarter 2016, Nokia’s net cash outflows from financing activities primarily related to the payment of the ordinary and special dividends, amounting to approximately EUR 1.5 billion and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in net cash of approximately EUR 70 million related to the purchase of Alcatel-Lucent securities.

Financial discussion

 

Net sales

 

In the first nine months of 2016, Nokia net sales increased 91% year-on-year on both a reported and constant currency basis.

 

The year-on-year increase in Nokia net sales in the first nine months of 2016 was primarily due to growth in Nokia’s Networks business and Group Common and Other, primarily related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent and, to a lesser extent, growth in Nokia Technologies. The growth was partially offset by non-IFRS exclusions related to the reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of acquisition.

 

Operating profit

 

In the first nine months of 2016, Nokia generated an operating loss, compared to an operating profit in the year-ago period, primarily due to higher R&D expenses and SG&A expenses and a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit.

 

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, partially offset by non-IFRS exclusions related to valuation of deferred revenue and inventory, which related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

38



 

The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, non-IFRS exclusions related to amortization of intangible assets and Group Common and Other, all of which related primarily to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to Nokia’s Networks business, non-IFRS exclusions related to amortization of intangible assets and Group Common and Other, all of which related primarily to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, as well as Nokia Technologies.

 

Nokia’s other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 722 million in the first nine months of 2016, compared to an income of EUR 15 million in the year-ago period. The change was primarily related to non-IFRS exclusions attributable to higher restructuring and associated charges and, to a lesser the extent, the absence of realized gains related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds.

 

(Loss)/profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent

 

In the first nine months of 2016, Nokia generated a loss attributable to the shareholders of the parent, compared to a profit in the year-ago period, primarily due to the operating loss in the current period, compared to an operating profit in the year-ago period and, to a lesser extent, a net negative fluctuation in financial income and expenses, both of which related primarily to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent. This was partially offset by an income tax benefit, resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, compared to an income tax expense in the year-ago-period. In addition, non-controlling interests were higher as a result of the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

The net negative fluctuation in financial income and expenses in the first nine months of 2016 was primarily due to higher interest expenses and non-IFRS exclusions related to the early redemption of Alcatel-Lucent high yield bonds and, to a lesser extent, a non-cash impairment of a financial asset. This was partially offset by realized gains related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds.

 

The income tax benefit was primarily related to non-IFRS exclusions.

 

As a result of the Alcatel-Lucent acquisition, non-controlling interests grew, and a smaller proportion of the reported loss was attributable to the shareholders of the parent. The non-controlling interests relate primarily to Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell and the remaining minority shareholders of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

Descriptions of non-IFRS exclusions in the first nine months of 2016

 

Non-IFRS exclusions consist of costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. For additional details, please refer to note 2, “Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

Net sales

 

In the first nine months of 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in net sales amounted to EUR 258 million, and related to purchase price allocation adjustment related to the reduced valuation of deferred revenue that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.

 

Operating profit

 

In the first nine months of 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit amounted to EUR 2 650 million, and were attributable to non-IFRS exclusions that negatively affected gross profit, R&D, SG&A and other income and expenses as follows:

 

In the first nine months of 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in gross profit amounted to EUR 974 million, and primarily related to the increased valuation of inventory that existed on Alcatel-Lucent’s balance sheet at the time of the acquisition and the deferred revenue. The increased valuation of inventory resulted in non-recurring higher cost of sales and lower gross profit, when the inventory was sold. In addition, the non-IFRS exclusions from gross profit included product portfolio integration related costs resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

In the first nine months of 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in R&D expenses amounted to EUR 498 million, and primarily related to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

In the first nine months of 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in other income and expenses amounted to an expense of EUR 656 million, and primarily related to EUR 653 million of restructuring and associated charges.

 

Profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent

 

In the first nine months of 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent amounted to EUR 2 014 million, and was primarily related to the non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit. In addition, non-IFRS exclusions affected financial income and expenses and income taxes as follows:

 

In the first nine months of 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in financial income and expenses amounted to an expense of EUR 41 million, and primarily related to the early redemption of the Alcatel-Lucent 2017 and 2020 high yield bonds in February 2016.

 

In the first nine months of 2016, non-IFRS exclusions in income taxes amounted to a tax benefit of EUR 547 million, and primarily related to non-IFRS exclusions in operating profit.

The higher SG&A expenses were due to both Ultra Broadband Networks and IP Networks and Applications, primarily related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

Nokia’s Networks business other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 49 million in the first nine months of 2016, compared to approximately zero in the year-ago period. On a year-on-year basis, the change was due to both Ultra Broadband Networks and IP Networks and Applications, primarily related to certain provisions which were recorded due to the risk of asset impairment.

Financial discussion

 

Net sales

 

In the first nine months of 2016, Nokia Technologies net sales increased 19% year-on-year on both a reported and constant currency basis.

 

49



 

The year-on-year increase in Nokia Technologies net sales in the first nine months of 2016 was primarily due to higher intellectual property licensing income and net sales attributable to the acquisition of Withings. In Q3 2016 Nokia Technologies net sales included approximately EUR 100 million of non-recurring net sales primarily related to prior periods of 2016. This was partially offset by the absence of non-recurring adjustments to accrued net sales from existing and new agreements, lower licensing income from certain existing licensees, lower revenue share related to previously divested intellectual property rights, and the absence of net sales related to intellectual property rights divested in the first nine months of 2015. The non-recurring net sales was slightly below EUR 120 million in the first nine months of 2015.

 

Operating profit

 

The year-on-year increase in Nokia Technologies operating profit for the first nine months of 2016 was primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A and R&D expenses.

 

The increase in Nokia Technologies gross profit was primarily due to higher net sales.

 

The increase in R&D expenses in Nokia Technologies was primarily due to the inclusion of Bell Labs patent portfolio costs resulting from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, and higher investments in the areas of digital media and digital health. The higher R&D expenses in digital health was primarily due to the acquisition of Withings. This was partially offset by the focusing of general research investments towards more specific opportunities and lower patent portfolio costs.

 

The increase in Nokia Technologies SG&A expenses was primarily due to higher business support costs, the ramp-up of digital health and digital media and increased licensing activity. The higher SG&A expenses in digital health was primarily due to the acquisition of Withings.

The year-on-year increase in Group Common and Other net sales in the first nine months of 2016 was primarily due Alcatel Submarine Networks and Radio Frequency Systems net sales, both of which related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

Operating profit

 

On a year-on-year basis, in the first nine months of 2016, Group Common and Other operating loss increased, primarily due to higher R&D expenses, a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses and higher SG&A expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit.

 

The increase in Group Common and Other gross profit was primarily due to higher gross profit in Alcatel Submarine Networks and Radio Frequency Systems, both of which related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

Group Common and Other R&D expenses increased on a year-on-year basis, primarily due to Bell Labs, related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

The increase in Group Common and Other SG&A expenses was primarily due to higher central function costs, related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

Group Common and Other other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 15 million in the first nine months of 2016, compared to an income of EUR 114 million in the year-ago period. On a year-on-year basis, the change was primarily due to the absence of realized gains related to certain of Nokia’s investments made through its venture funds and, to a lesser extent, the non-cash impairment of a financial asset.

Net cash and other liquid assets equals total cash and other liquid assets less long-term interest-bearing liabilities and less short-term interest-bearing liabilities. For details, please refer to note 15, “Notes to the consolidated statement of cash flows”, in the notes to the financial statements attached to this report.

(2)Beginning from the first quarter 2016, Nokia results include those of Alcatel-Lucent on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, Nokia results beginning from the first quarter 2016 are not directly comparable to prior period Nokia standalone results.

 

In the first nine months of 2016, Nokia’s total cash and other liquid assets decreased by EUR 457 million and Nokia’s net cash and other liquid assets decreased by EUR 2 236 million. Nokia’s total cash and other liquid assets decreased EUR 1 779 million less than Nokia’s net cash and other liquid assets, primarily due to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, partially offset by the redemption of Alcatel-Lucent notes and convertible bonds.

 

Foreign exchange rates had an approximately EUR 10 million negative impact on net cash.

 

Compared to the end of 2015, net cash and other liquid assets were affected by the following factors:

 

In the first nine months of 2016, Nokia’s net cash from operating activities was negative EUR 2.0 billion:

 

·             Nokia’s adjusted net profit before changes in net working capital was EUR 1 319 million in the first nine months of 2016.

 

·             Total cash outflows related to working capital of approximately EUR 2.8 billion.

 

53



 

·                  Nokia had approximately EUR 460 million of restructuring and associated cash outflows in the first nine months of 2016. Excluding this, net working capital generated a decrease in net cash of approximately EUR 2.3 billion, primarily due to a decrease in short-term liabilities and an increase in inventories, partially offset by increase in net cash related to a decrease in receivables.

 

·                  The cash outflows related to short-term liabilities were approximately EUR 2.5 billion, primarily due to the payment of incentives related to Alcatel-Lucent’s and Nokia’s strong business performance in 2015, a decline in accounts payable of approximately EUR 750 million (of which approximately EUR 350 million related to our actions to harmonize working capital processes and practices, particularly in the area of payables) and the termination of Alcatel-Lucent’s license agreement with Qualcomm which resulted in approximately EUR 280 million of cash outflows.

 

·                  The cash outflows related to the increase in inventories were approximately EUR 200 million.

 

·                  The cash inflows related to the decrease in receivables were approximately EUR 440 million, primarily due to cash inflows related to an overall decline in receivables and cash inflows related to the catch-up payment from the Samsung arbitration award, announced on February 1, 2016. This was partially offset by an increase in receivables resulting from the approximately EUR 1.0 billion reduction in the sale of receivables (debt-like items), in accordance with our Capital Structure Optimization Program.

 

·             In addition, Nokia’s cash outflows related to income taxes were approximately EUR 320 million and cash outflows related to net interest were approximately EUR 210 million.

 

In the first nine months of 2016, Nokia’s net cash inflows from investing activities primarily related to an increase in net cash of approximately EUR 2.0 billion related to the acquired net cash and other liquid assets of Alcatel-Lucent. This was partially offset by decreases of net cash of approximately EUR 350 million due to capital expenditures and approximately EUR 310 million due to acquisition of businesses.

 

In the first nine months of 2016, Nokia’s net cash outflows from financing activities primarily related to the payment of the ordinary and special dividends, amounting to approximately EUR 1.5 billion and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in net cash of approximately EUR 210 million related to the purchase of Alcatel-Lucent shares and the equity component of the purchased Alcatel-Lucent convertible bonds.

 

54



 

Shares

 

The total number of Nokia shares on September 30, 2016, equaled 5 835 686 512. On September 30, 2016, Nokia and its subsidiary companies owned 63 551 145 Nokia shares, representing approximately 1.1% of the total number of Nokia shares and voting rights.

 

Dividend

 

In the third quarter 2016, Nokia paid an aggregate dividend of approximately EUR 1 501 million, consisting of an ordinary dividend of EUR 0.16 per share for financial year 2015 and a special dividend of EUR 0.10 per share, as resolved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on June 16, 2016.

(1) Reported Q1-Q3’16 result is not comparable to the reported results published previously due to an update to the Alcatel-Lucent purchase price allocation in Q3’16 which resulted in an adjustment to the Reported Q1’16 income tax benefit. Refer to note 6, “Acquisitions”, for further details.

 

Consolidated statement of cash flows combines cash flows from both the continuing and the discontinued operations. The figures in the consolidated statement of cash flows cannot be directly traced from the statement of financial position without additional information as a result of acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries and net foreign exchange differences arising on consolidation.

 

Alcatel-Lucent ordinary shares, ADS’s and OCEANEs acquired in cash by Nokia subsequent to the closing of the reopened exchange offer are presented within cash flow from financing activities as purchases of equity instruments of subsidiaries and repayment of long-term borrowings, respectively. In relation to the Public Buy-Out Offer, Nokia’s pledged cash asset of EUR 678 million to cover the purchase of the remaining Alcatel-Lucent securities was recorded within cash flow from investing activities as purchase of current available-for-sale investments, liquid assets. The amount of pledged cash released upon acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent securities of EUR 81 million was recorded within cash flow from investing activities as proceeds from maturities and sale of current available-for-sale investments, liquid assets with offsetting amounts recorded within cash flow from financing activities as purchases of equity instruments of subsidiaries and repayment of long-term borrowings. The remaining unreleased pledged cash asset amounts to EUR 597 million as of September 30, 2016.

 

The notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. Beginning from the first quarter 2016, Nokia results include those of Alcatel-Lucent on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, Nokia results beginning from the first quarter 2016 are not directly comparable to prior period Nokia standalone results.

The notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. Beginning from the first quarter 2016, Nokia results include those of Alcatel-Lucent on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, Nokia results beginning from the first quarter 2016 are not directly comparable to prior period Nokia standalone results.

Notes to Financial statements

 

1. Basis of preparation

 

The unaudited, consolidated, condensed interim financial statements of Nokia have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (“IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting”). The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for 2015, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as published by the IASB and adopted by the EU. The same accounting policies, methods of computation and applications of judgment are followed in these interim financial statements as were followed in the annual financial statements for 2015, except as described below in relation to the new segment reporting structure.

 

These interim financial statements were authorized for issue by management on October 26, 2016.

 

Non-IFRS measures presented in this document exclude costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with IFRS, and non-IFRS financial measures as used by Nokia may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies or persons. As of the second quarter 2016, certain additional information and disclosure has been included in the interim Financial statements to implement the recent guidance issued by ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) on alternative performance measures.

 

Percentages and figures presented herein may include rounding differences and therefore may not add up precisely to the totals presented and may vary from previously published financial information.

 

As of the first quarter 2016, following the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent on January 4, 2016 (refer to note 6 “Acquisitions” for more details), Nokia has revised its financial reporting structure. We now have two businesses: Nokia’s Networks business and Nokia Technologies, and three reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Ultra Broadband Networks and IP Networks and Applications within Nokia’s Networks business and Nokia Technologies. We also present certain segment data for Group Common and Other as well as discontinued operations. Numbers are always presented for the continuing operations of Nokia, unless otherwise indicated. More details regarding the revised financial reporting structure and reportable segments are presented in note 3 “Segment information and eliminations”.

 

Additionally, as a result of the sale of the HERE business on December 4, 2015, and of the transaction where Nokia sold substantially all of its Devices & Services business on April 25, 2014, the HERE and the Devices & Services businesses have been presented as discontinued operations on which we report certain separate information.

 

The comparative financial information presented in these interim financial statements has been prepared to reflect the financial results of the continuing operations of Nokia as if the new financial reporting structure had been in operation for the full year 2015. Certain accounting policy alignments, adjustments and reclassifications have been necessary, and these are explained in the “Basis of preparation” section of the stock exchange release published on April 22, 2016. These adjustments include also reallocation of items of costs and expenses based on their nature and changes to the definition of the line items in the combined company accounting policies, which affect also numbers presented in these interim financial statements for 2015.

 

Nokia has engaged in the re-organization and integration of its current business activities in China — including the operations in Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell (“ASB”). ASB is owned by Alcatel-Lucent (50% plus one share) and China Huaxin Post & Telecommunication Economy Development Center (“China Huaxin”, 50% minus one share). In August 2015, Nokia and China Huaxin signed a memorandum of understanding (“MoU”) confirming their intention to combine Nokia’s telecommunications infrastructure businesses in China (“Nokia China”) and ASB into a new joint venture. As agreed under the MoU, Nokia expects to hold 50% plus one share in the new joint venture, with China Huaxin holding the remaining shares. Fair value compensation would be received for the contribution of relevant assets to the joint venture. The new joint venture is planned to operate under the English name of Nokia Shanghai Bell and would be registered in the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone.

 

62



 

Amendments to IAS 1 and Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 cycle

 

On January 1, 2016, Nokia adopted amendments to multiple IFRS standards, which resulted from the amendments to IAS 1 and the IASB’s annual improvement project for the 2012-2014 cycles. They comprise amendments that result in accounting changes for presentation, recognition or measurement purposes, most visibly through additional guidance on use of judgment in applying materiality in aggregation and disaggregation of line items and more generally in the presentation in the financial statements.

2. Non-IFRS to reported reconciliation, Continuing Operations (unaudited)

 

In addition to information on our reported IFRS results, we provide certain information on a non-IFRS, or underlying business performance, basis. Non-IFRS results exclude costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items that may not be indicative of Nokia’s underlying business performance. We believe that our non-IFRS results provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding Nokia’s underlying business performance by excluding the above-described items. 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.

3. Segment information and eliminations, NOKIA, Continuing Operations (unaudited)

 

We have two businesses: Nokia’s Networks business and Nokia Technologies, and three reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Ultra Broadband Networks and IP Networks and Applications within Nokia’s Networks business and Nokia Technologies. We also present certain segment data for Group Common and Other as well as discontinued operations. Numbers are always presented for the continuing operations of Nokia, unless otherwise indicated.

 

We have aggregated Fixed Networks and Mobile Networks operating segments to one reportable segment Ultra Broadband Networks and IP/Optical Networks and Applications & Analytics operating segments to one reportable segment IP Networks and Applications. The aggregated operating segments have similar economic characteristics and have similar products, production processes, distribution methods and customers, as well as operate in a similar regulatory environment.

 

The chief operating decision maker receives monthly financial information for the Nokia’s operating and reportable segments. Key financial performance measures of the reportable segments include primarily net sales and operating profit. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of the segments and allocates resources to them based on operating profit.

 

Ultra Broadband Networks

 

Ultra Broadband Networks is composed of the Mobile Networks and Fixed Networks business groups.

 

The Mobile Networks business group offers an industry-leading portfolio of end-to-end mobile networking solutions comprising hardware, software and services for telecommunications operators, enterprises and related markets/verticals such as public safety and Internet of Things (“IoT”). The Mobile Networks business group consists of the following:

Nokia Technologies

 

The Nokia Technologies business group has two main objectives: To drive growth and renewal in its existing patent licensing business; and to build new businesses for Nokia, based on breakthrough innovation in key technologies and products, in the areas of Digital Media and Digital Health.

 

69



 

 · As of the first quarter 2016, the majority of net sales and the related costs and expenses attributable to licensing and patenting the separate patent portfolios of Nokia Technologies, Nokia’s Networks business, and Bell Labs will be recorded in Nokia Technologies. Each reportable segment will continue to separately record its research and development expenses.

 

Group Common and Other

 

Nokia also reports segment-level data for Group Common and Other.

 

 · As of the first quarter 2016, Group Common and Other includes the Alcatel Submarine Networks and Radio Frequency Systems businesses, both of which are being managed as separate entities. In addition, Group Common and Other includes Bell Labs’ operating expenses, as well as certain corporate-level and centrally-managed operating expenses.

 

Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in note 1, “Accounting principles” of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2015. The Group accounts for inter-segment revenues and transfers as if the revenues were to third parties, that is, at current market prices. Non-IFRS exclusions are not allocated to the segments.

6. ACQUISITIONS, reported (unaudited)

 

Alcatel-Lucent acquisition

 

On April 15, 2015, Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent announced their intention to combine through a public exchange offer in France and the United States. Alcatel-Lucent is a global leader in IP networking, ultra-broadband access and cloud applications. The combined company will leverage the combined scale of operations, complementary technologies, portfolios and geographical presence; and unparalleled innovation capabilities to lead in the next generation network technology and services and to create access to an expanded addressable market with improved long-term growth opportunities.

 

Nokia obtained control of Alcatel-Lucent on January 4, 2016 when the interim results of the successful initial exchange offer were announced by the French stock market authority, Autorité des Marchés Financiers (“AMF”). In accordance with the AMF General Regulation Nokia reopened its exchange offer for the outstanding Alcatel-Lucent Securities not tendered during the initial exchange offer period on January 14, 2016 and closed the reopened offer on February 3, 2016. Nokia has determined that the initial and the reopened exchange offers are linked transactions that are to be considered together as a single arrangement given that the reopened exchange offer is required by AMF General Regulation and is based on the same terms and conditions as the initial exchange offer.

 

As part of the exchange offers, holders of Alcatel-Lucent ordinary shares, Alcatel-Lucent American Depositary Shares (“ALU ADS”) and OCEANE convertible bonds (collectively “Alcatel-Lucent Securities”) could exchange their Alcatel-Lucent Securities for Nokia shares and Nokia American Depositary Shares (“Nokia ADS”) on the basis of 0.55 Nokia share or Nokia ADS for every Alcatel-Lucent share or ALU ADS.

 

Following the initial and reopened exchange offers, Nokia held 90.34% of the share capital and at least 90.25% of the voting rights of Alcatel-Lucent. Nokia issued a total of 1 776 379 756 new Nokia shares as consideration for the Alcatel-Lucent securities tendered in the exchange offer.

 

Subsequent to the exchange offer Nokia has carried out the following transactions relating to the acquisition of the remaining outstanding equity interests in Alcatel-Lucent not held by Nokia:

 

 · On February 12, 2016, Nokia converted the OCEANE convertible bonds (the “OCEANEs”) acquired as part of the initial and reopened exchange offers to Alcatel-Lucent shares.

 

 · On February 19, 2016, Nokia announced the issue of 6 501 503 new Nokia shares in exchange for Alcatel-Lucent shares in a private transaction at the 0.55 exchange offer provided in the initial and reopened exchange offers. This transaction was based on a resolution by the Board of Directors on February 18, 2016.

 

 · On May 9, 2016 Nokia closed the acquisition of 107 775 949 Alcatel-Lucent shares in exchange for 59 276 772 new Nokia shares from JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as depositary (the “Alcatel Depositary”), pursuant to the share purchase agreement announced on March 17, 2016. These shares represent Alcatel-Lucent shares that remained in the Alcatel-Lucent American depositary receipts program after the cancellation period and following the program’s termination on April 25, 2016.

 

 · On May 12, 2016 Nokia agreed to acquire 72 994 133 of 2019 OCEANEs and 19 943 533 of 2020 OCEANEs through a privately negotiated transaction in consideration for an aggregate cash payment of EUR 419 million.

 

 · On June 17, 2016 Nokia acquired 24 392 270 Alcatel-Lucent shares, 9 614 661 of 2019 OCEANEs and 2 290 001 of 2020 OCEANEs through privately negotiated transactions in consideration for an aggregate cash payment of EUR 85 million for the Alcatel-Lucent shares (corresponding to a unit price of EUR 3.50 per share) and EUR 54 million for the OCEANEs (corresponding to a unit price of EUR 4.51 per 2019 OCEANE and EUR 4.50 per 2020 OCEANE).

 

Following these transactions, Nokia owned 95.33% of the share capital and 95.26% of the voting rights of Alcatel-Lucent, corresponding to 95.16% of the Alcatel-Lucent shares on a fully diluted basis.

 

77



 

On September 6, 2016 Nokia filed Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent’s draft joint offer document with the AMF relating to Nokia’s proposed public buy-out offer in cash for the remaining Alcatel-Lucent shares (the “Shares”) and OCEANEs it does not already own (the “Public Buy-Out Offer”). The Public Buy-Out Offer would be automatically followed by a squeeze-out in cash of the Shares and OCEANEs not tendered into the Public Buy-Out Offer (the “Squeeze-Out”, and together with the Public Buy-Out Offer, the “Offer”) in accordance with the General Regulation of the AMF.

 

Following the clearance decision of the Offer by the AMF on September 20, 2016, Nokia commenced the public buy-out offer on September 22, 2016 pursuant to which it proposes to all holders of the Shares and OCEANEs to acquire their securities. The financial terms of the Public Buy-Out Offer are as follows:

 

· EUR 3.50 per Alcatel-Lucent Share;

 

· EUR 4.51 per 2019 OCEANE; and

 

· EUR 4.50 per 2020 OCEANE.

 

In the Squeeze-Out, the Shares and OCEANEs not tendered into the Public Buy-Out Offer will be transferred to Nokia for the same consideration as the above-mentioned consideration of the Public-Buy-Out Offer, net of all costs. The remaining outstanding Alcatel-Lucent stock options and performance shares were modified to settle in cash or Nokia shares.

 

In relation to the Offer, Nokia has pledged EUR 678 million covering the purchase of the remaining Alcatel-Lucent securities. The pledge was constituted in connection with the obligation of Nokia’s presenting bank to guarantee the content and the irrevocable nature of Nokia’s commitments in relation to the Offer, pursuant to General Regulation of the AMF. By September 30, 2016, EUR 81 million of the pledged amount was released upon the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent securities of equivalent amount in the Public Buy-out Offer.

 

On October 4, 2016 the AMF announced that a legal action was filed before the Paris Court of Appeal on September 30, 2016 for annulment of the AMF’s clearance decision regarding the Offer. On October 25, 2016, the AMF announced the continuation of the timetable of the Offer. Accordingly, the Public Buy-Out Offer period will end on October 31, 2016 and the Squeeze-Out will be implemented on November 2, 2016, in accordance with the General Regulation of the AMF. Nokia believes that the Offer complies with all applicable laws and regulations and expects that the legal action will not have a material impact on its acquisition of the remaining outstanding securities of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

Alcatel-Lucent ordinary shares and ALU ADS’s acquired by Nokia subsequent to the closing of the reopened exchange offer (including through the Public Buy-Out Offer and the Squeeze-Out) are accounted for as equity transactions with the remaining non-controlling interests in Alcatel-Lucent. As such, any new Nokia shares or cash consideration paid for these instruments are recorded directly within equity against the carrying amount of non-controlling interests. The acquisition of OCEANEs subsequent to the transactions linked to the exchange offer is treated both as extinguishment of debt and equity transaction with remaining non-controlling interests in Alcatel-Lucent, with the redemption consideration allocated to the liability and equity components. As of September 30, 2016, a liability of EUR 555 million was recorded in other liabilities for the purchase of the remaining Alcatel-Lucent securities through the Public Buy-Out Offer and the Squeeze-Out reflecting Nokia’s irrevocable right and obligation to acquire all remaining Alcatel-Lucent securities in exchange for a fixed compensation payable in cash.

 

Purchase consideration

 

The purchase consideration comprises of the fair value of Alcatel-Lucent Securities obtained through the exchange offer, and the fair value of the portion of Alcatel-Lucent stock options and performance shares attributable to pre-combination services that will be settled with Nokia shares. The fair value of the purchase consideration is based on the closing price of Nokia share of EUR 6.58 on NASDAQ Helsinki on January 4, 2016, and the exchange offer ratio of 0.55 Nokia share for every Alcatel-Lucent share.

Purchase accounting

 

Nokia has continued the analyses related to the purchase accounting for the Alcatel-Lucent acquisition, including purchase price allocation. Based on the current provisional estimate of the purchase price allocation, Nokia has recorded intangible assets, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities of EUR 5 711 million, EUR 2 410 million and EUR 377 million, respectively, to the Alcatel-Lucent opening statement of financial position. In comparison to the provisional purchase price allocation reported in Nokia’s second quarter 2016 financial statements, these adjustments resulted in a decrease of EUR 214 million, EUR 106 million, EUR 218 million and EUR 67 million for intangible assets, deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities and non-controlling interests, respectively, and an increase in goodwill of EUR 79 million. These adjustments relate to additional information and analysis conducted by Nokia that reflect facts and circumstances existing on the acquisition date.

 

Nokia has determined that certain adjustments to the fair value of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities had a significant subsequent impact on the income tax benefit recognized in Nokia’s first quarter 2016 income statement. Therefore, Nokia has recorded a EUR 99 million adjustment to income tax benefit within its first quarter 2016 income statement. The impact from the remaining adjustments to the provisional purchase price allocation did not have a material subsequent impact to previous quarter financial statements and the subsequent impact of these adjustments was recorded cumulatively in Nokia’s third quarter 2016 financial statements. The purchase price allocation is based on the current provisional estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and may be revised during Q4 2016 when remaining analyses are finalized.

The provisional goodwill arising from the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent is estimated to amount to EUR 5.2 billion and is primarily attributable to synergies arising from the significant economies of scale and scope that Nokia is expecting to benefit from as part of the new combined entity. The allocation of goodwill for impairment testing purposes has not yet been completed.

 

Nokia elected to measure the components of non-controlling interests in Alcatel-Lucent (that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation) based on the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the fair value of the acquired identifiable net assets. As such, the provisional goodwill excludes the goodwill related to the non-controlling interests. The equity component of the remaining outstanding OCEANEs as well as the outstanding stock options and performance shares that will be settled in Alcatel-Lucent ordinary shares are measured at fair value within non-controlling interests.

Acquisition-related costs not directly attributable to the issue of shares included in selling, general and administrative as well as other expenses in the consolidated income statement and in operating cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows total to EUR 105 million of which EUR 72 million is recognized in January-September 2016.

 

The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed presented above are provisional based on management estimates on the acquisition date January 4, 2016. Nokia expects to continue to conduct analysis to assess the fair values of intangible assets, deferred taxes, inventories and contingent liabilities, in particular, and adjustments that have a material impact on the provisional purchase accounting may be made. Adjustments to the provisional fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed will also impact the provisional estimate of goodwill.

 

The acquired business contributed revenues of EUR 8 859 million and net loss of EUR 1 373 million to Nokia for the period from 4 January to 30 September 2016.

 

These amounts have been calculated using the subsidiary’s results and adjusting them for the accounting policy alignments and these are explained in the “Basis of preparation” section of the stock exchange release published on April 22, 2016.

Other acquisitions

 

On March 31, 2016 Nokia completed the acquisition of assets of Nakina Systems Inc, a Canadian security and operational systems software company. The acquisition complements Nokia’s existing security portfolio and helps its customers meet the growing requirements of network security.

 

On May 31, 2016 Nokia closed its acquisition of Withings S.A., a provider of digital health products and services, to accelerate entry to Digital Health.

 

On July 29, 2016 Nokia completed the acquisition of Gainspeed, a US-based start-up specializing in DAA (Distributed Access Architecture) solutions for the cable industry via its Virtual CCAP (Converged Cable Access Platform) product line. The transaction complements Nokia’s current fiber access technologies for cable multiple-system operators and provides the end-to-end technology capabilities needed to support growing capacity requirements.

 

Other acquisitions completed in 2016 did not have a material impact, individually and in aggregate, to Nokia’s statement of financial position, comprehensive income or cash flows. The estimated aggregate purchase consideration paid, aggregate goodwill and fair value of intangible assets arising from these acquisitions amount to EUR 325 million, EUR 247 million and EUR 56 million, respectively. The purchase accounting for these acquisitions is provisional and Nokia will conduct additional analysis that may result in adjustments in the fourth quarter of 2016.

7. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, reported (unaudited)

 

On August 3, 2015 Nokia announced the sale of the HERE business to a consortium of leading automotive companies, comprising AUDI AG, BMW Group and Daimler AG. Subsequent to that date, Nokia has presented the HERE business as discontinued operations excluding items outside the final transaction scope until completion of the sale on December 4, 2015. Accordingly Nokia has also reclassified the comparative periods on the consolidated condensed income statement. Discontinued operations include also the continuing financial effects of the Sale of Devices & Services Business in 2014.

8. PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, NOKIA, reported (unaudited)

 

Nokia operates a number of post-employment plans, group life plans and retiree healthcare plans in various countries. Defined benefit plans expose Nokia to actuarial risks such as interest rate risk, and life expectancy risk, as well as investment risk. The characteristics and associated risks of the defined benefit plans vary depending on legal, fiscal, and economic requirements in each country.

 

93% of Nokia’s total benefit obligations and 95% of Nokia’s plan asset fair values were remeasured as of September 30, 2016. Nokia’s pension and post-retirement obligations in the United States have been remeasured by updated valuations from an external actuary and Nokia’s main pension plans outside of the U.S. (in Germany, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Belgium) have been re-measured based on a sensitivity analysis. The impact of not re-measuring other pension and post-employment obligations is considered not material.

 

The weighted average discount rates used to measure Nokia’s pension and post-retirement obligations of September 30, 2016 have been updated and were as follows:

9. DEFERRED TAXES, NOKIA, reported (unaudited)

 

At September 30, 2016, Nokia had recognized deferred tax assets of EUR 5.1 billion. The recognition of deferred tax assets is based on offsetting deferred tax liabilities, earnings history and profit projections in the relevant jurisdictions. The majority of Nokia’s recognized deferred tax assets relate to unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences in Finland (EUR 2.1 billion) and the United States (EUR 1.8 billion). Based on the recent profitability in Finland and the United States and the latest forecasts of future financial performance, Nokia has been able to establish a pattern of sufficient tax profitability in Finland and the United States to conclude that it is probable that Nokia will be able to utilize the tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are not recognized for the portion of the tax losses and tax credits that are expected to expire before they can be utilized.

 

At September 30, 2016, primarily due to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia had unrecognized deferred tax assets of approximately EUR 12 billion related to unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences. The majority of the unrecognized deferred tax assets relate to France (approximately EUR 6 billion) and the United States (approximately EUR 6 billion). These deferred tax assets have not been recognized due to uncertainty regarding their utilization. A significant portion of the French unrecognized deferred tax assets are indefinite in nature and available against future French tax liabilities, subject to a limitation of 50% of annual taxable profits. The unrecognized deferred tax assets in the US relate to net operating losses, capital losses and tax credits that are expected to expire before they can be utilized, partly due to the limitations arising from the ownership change in Alcatel-Lucent acquisition. The majority of the United States tax losses and tax credits expire before 2025.

 

At September 30, 2016, Nokia had deferred tax liabilities of EUR 0.4 billion. Majority of the deferred tax liabilities relate to the fair value adjustments on the purchase accounting of Alcatel-Lucent acquisition. Deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to the Alcatel-Lucent acquisition are provisional and may be revised during Q4 2016 when remaining analyses related to the purchase accounting are finalized (refer to note 6 “Acquisitions”).

10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, NOKIA, reported (unaudited)

 

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized based on the amount of unobservable inputs used to measure their fair value. Three hierarchical levels are based on an increasing amount of judgment associated with the inputs used to derive fair valuation for these assets and liabilities; Level 1 being market values and Level 3 requiring most management judgment. At the end of each reporting period Nokia categorizes its financial assets and liabilities to appropriate level of fair value hierarchy.

(1) For items not carried at fair value the following fair value measurement methods are used. The fair value is set to carrying amount for available-for-sale investments carried at cost less impairment for which no reliable fair value has been possible to estimate. These assets are tested for impairment using a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of loan receivables and payables is estimated based on discounted cash flow method or current market values of similar instruments (level 2). The fair values of long-term interest bearing liabilities are based on discounted cash flow analysis (level 2) or quoted prices (level 1). The fair value is estimated to be equal to the carrying amount for short-term financial assets and financial liabilities due to limited credit risk and short time to maturity.

Level 3 includes a large number of investments in unlisted equities and unlisted venture funds, including investments managed by Nokia Growth Partners (“NGP”) specializing in growth-stage investing and by BlueRun Ventures focusing on early stage opportunities. Within level 3 fair value is determined by using one or more valuation techniques, where the use of the market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach generally consists of calculating the net present value of estimated future cash flows. For unlisted venture funds the selection of appropriate valuation techniques by the fund managing partner may be affected by the availability and reliability of relevant inputs. In some cases, one valuation technique may provide the best indication of fair value while in other circumstances, multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate.

 

The inputs generally considered in determining the fair value include the original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations or other transactions undertaken by the issuer, offerings in the equity or debt capital markets, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors. Level 3 investments are valued on a quarterly basis taking into consideration any changes, projections and assumptions, as well as any changes in economic and other relevant conditions. The fair value may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the managing partner in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the managing partner due to the lack of observable inputs may impact the resulting fair value of individual investments, but no individual input has a significant impact on the total fair value of Nokia’s level 3 investments. The following table shows a reconciliation of the opening and closing balances of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities:

(1) The reclassification from restructuring consists of EUR 45 million to accrued expenses. The reclassification from divestment consists of EUR 2 million to litigation. The reclassification of EUR 39 million from other provisions consists of EUR 5 million to warranty, EUR 9 million to litigation, EUR 1 million to material liability and EUR 24 million to accrued expenses to better reflect the nature of these items.

 

As of September 30, 2016 Nokia restructuring provision amounted to EUR 778 million including personnel and other restructuring related costs, such as real estate exit costs. On April 6, 2016, Nokia announced that it was beginning actions to reduce company personnel globally as part of its previously announced synergy and transformation program. As a result of the announcement and subsequent consultations taken place, Nokia recognized in the second quarter 2016 a provision of EUR 593 million, of which EUR 45 million have been transferred to accrued expenses and EUR 15 million were used by end of the second quarter 2016. During the third quarter the usage of the provision was EUR 36 million. In addition, the total amount of restructuring provision includes EUR 284 million relating to the restructuring provisions recognized due to previously announced restructuring programs. The majority of the restructuring related outflows is expected to occur over the next two years.

Additionally, Nokia has issued corporate guarantees with primary obligation given directly to customers. These guarantees have been issued by Nokia Corporation for EUR 77 million (EUR 70 million at September 30, 2015 and EUR 74 million at December 31, 2015) as well as by certain Alcatel-Lucent entities for EUR 1 641 million. In Other guarantees Nokia reports guarantees related to non-commercial contracts that support Nokia’s business activities. As a result of internal policies and active management of outstanding guarantee exposure, Nokia has not been subject to any material guarantee claims during recent years.

(1) In June 2016 Nokia exercised its options to increase the size of the EUR 1 500 million revolving credit facility to EUR 1 579 million and to extend the maturity date from June 2018 to June 2019. The facility has a one-year extension option remaining, no financial covenants and it remains undrawn.

(2) In November 2015, Nokia exercised its option to redeem EUR 750 million convertible bonds at their principal amount outstanding plus accrued interest. Virtually all bondholders elected to convert their convertible bonds into Nokia shares before redemption.

(3) This line includes liabilities related to French R&D tax credits (i.e. “Crédits d’Impôt Recherche”) of EUR 132 million (EUR 0 million at September 30, 2015 and at December 31, 2015) that have been sold to banks on a recourse basis and hence not derecognized from the consolidated statement of financial position.

In January 2016, Alcatel-Lucent S.A. repaid its EUR 190 million 8.50% senior notes. In February, 2016, Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc. redeemed its USD 650 million 4.625% notes due July 2017, USD 500 million 8.875% notes due January 2020 and USD 700 million 6.750% notes due November 2020 in accordance with their respective terms and conditions. In February 2016, Alcatel-Lucent S.A. terminated its EUR 504 million revolving credit facility. In March 2016, the Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks’ credit facility of EUR 74 million was repaid.

In total 211 579 445 of 2018 OCEANE convertible bonds, 57 852 372 of 2019 OCEANE convertible bonds and 72 783 038 of 2020 OCEANE convertible bonds, with nominal amounts of EUR 381 million, EUR 238 million and EUR 293 million respectively, were tendered in the French and U.S. offers for exchange into Nokia shares and converted to Alcatel-Lucent shares by Nokia following the settlement of reopened offer in February 2016. As a result of conversion, less than 15% of the 2018 OCEANE convertible bonds remained outstanding and Nokia caused Alcatel-Lucent S.A. to redeem at par value, plus accrued interest all of the outstanding 2018 OCEANE convertible bonds pursuant to the terms and conditions of the bonds.

 

98


 


 

During January and February 2016 other bondholders have converted 19 981 014 of 2018 OCEANE convertible bonds, 1 014 828 of 2019 OCEANE convertible bonds and 5 010 000 of 2020 OCEANE convertible bonds, with nominal amounts of EUR 36 million, EUR 4 million and EUR 20 million, respectively. Additionally certain bondholders exercised their right to put back 7 393 369 of 2019 OCEANE convertible bonds and 1 751 000 of 2020 OCEANE convertible bonds at par plus accrued interest for a cash consideration of EUR 30 million and EUR 7 million, respectively.

 

During May and June 2016 Nokia acquired in privately negotiated transactions in total 82 608 794 of 2019 OCEANE convertible bonds and 22 233 534 of 2020 OCEANE convertible bonds in consideration for an aggregate cash payment of EUR 473 million. Transactions corresponded to a unit price of EUR 4.51 per 2019 OCEANE and EUR 4.50 per 2020 OCEANE.

 

In September 2016 Nokia launched its Public Buy-Out Offer for all the securities of Alcatel-Lucent that it does not own. The Public Buy-Out Offer will be followed by a squeeze-out of the OCEANEs not tendered into the Public Buy-Out Offer. On October 2016 the AMF announced that a legal action was filed before the Paris Court of Appeal on September 30, 2016 for annulment of the AMF’s clearance decision regarding the Offer. On October 25, 2016, the AMF announced the continuation of the timetable of the Offer. Accordingly, the Public Buy-Out Offer period will end on October 31, 2016 and the Squeeze-Out will be implemented on November 2, 2016, in accordance with the General Regulation of the AMF. The financial terms of the Offer correspond to a unit price of EUR 4.51 per 2019 OCEANE and EUR 4.50 per 2020 OCEANE. The OCEANEs which remain outstanding at the balance sheet date are reported in line item other liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

All of the remaining Nokia borrowings are senior unsecured and have no financial covenants.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, reported (unaudited)

 

New expiration date announced for Nokia’s public buy-out offer for Alcatel-Lucent securities; Squeeze-out expected to occur on November 2, 2016

 

On October 4, 2016 the French stock market authority AMF announced that a legal action was filed before the Paris Court of Appeal (the “Court”) on September 30, 2016 for annulment of its clearance decision regarding the Public Buy-Out Offer, which would be followed by the Squeeze-Out, for all remaining securities of Alcatel-Lucent.

 

On October 25, 2016, the AMF announced the continuation of the timetable of the Offer and, accordingly, the Public Buy-Out Offer period will end on October 31, 2016 and the Squeeze-Out will be implemented on November 2, 2016. In connection with the continuation of the timetable, as a precautionary measure, Nokia has agreed to certain commitments that are in force until the decision of the Court, and in the event that the AMF’s clearance decision would be nullified or amended by the Court.

 

The legal challenge filed before the Court against the AMF’s clearance decision regarding the Offer is still pending and the Court is expected to issue a decision during the first quarter of 2017. Nokia believes that the Offer complies with all applicable laws and regulations and that the legal challenge is without merit.
