New Asha platform delivers developers a consistent quality application experience in the worlds fastest growing smartphone category
New Delhi, India and Espoo, Finland Nokia today announced a global initiative to unlock the sub-100 USD smartphone market for developers with the release of its Nokia Asha platform. Nokia also announced the Nokia Asha 501, the first smartphone built for the new platform.
Developers who write applications for the Nokia Asha 501 will reach all smartphones based on the new Asha platform without having to re-write code. Nokia expects to sell 100 million of the new generation Asha smartphones over the coming years, beginning with the Nokia Asha 501.
Weve seen a tremendous increase in consumer demand for apps for our Asha smartphones, as witnessed by the growth of downloads in Nokia Store, said Marco Argenti, head of Developer Experiences at Nokia. Consumers expect quality apps at every price point. With the new Asha platform, developers will be incentivized to deliver those quality apps, previously found only on high-end smartphones, thanks to unprecedented volumes and reach opportunities through one distribution channel and a single platform.
Many of the most popular applications are already available or in development for the Nokia Asha platform, including CNN, eBuddy, ESPN, Facebook, Foursquare, Line, LinkedIn, Nimbuzz, Pictelligent, The Weather Channel, Twitter, WeChat, World of Red Bull and games from Electronic Arts, Gameloft, Indiagames, Namco-Bandai and Reliance Games. WhatsApp and other key partners continue to explore new Asha.
Developers will also get easy-to-use development tools and more ways to sell and promote apps, including the new Nokia In-App Payment tool.
New Nokia Asha SDK 1.0 and Nokia Asha web app tools
The new Nokia Asha Software Development Kit 1.0 is a suite of tools that support the development, testing, packaging and deployment of Java apps on the Nokia Asha platform.
The new Nokia Asha web app tools include a Web Development Environment (WDE), an integrated development environment (IDE) that developers can use to create and edit their Nokia Asha web apps; Web Inspector to help developers to debug and inspect elements in their web apps; and a new Web Designer Tool for creating great user experience for their web apps.
Nokia In-App Payment
Nokia also announced the new Nokia In-App Payment tool, designed to make it easier for developers to sell content from within their apps. It provides a simple and secure purchase experience for consumers and transparent payments for developers. Nokia In-App Payment will also be available for existing Asha and Series 40 phones, such as the Nokia 301. Nokia will release a public beta of Nokia In-App Payment in the coming weeks. Developers can sign-up for the beta athttp://www.developer.nokia.com/inapppayment.

INTERIM REPORT
Espoo May 8, 2013. Nokia Siemens Networks Q1 2013 Interim Report Solid operating profit, cash generation and financial position |
Q1 2013 Financial Highlights:
· In the first quarter 2013, Nokia Siemens Networks delivered a solid operating margin before specific items* of 7.4%, due to strong execution of Nokia Siemens Networks focused strategy. Operating margin before specific items* was -4.4% in the first quarter 2012 and 15.0% in the seasonally strong fourth quarter 2012. This marks the fourth consecutive quarter of positive operating margin before specific items*.
· Gross margin before specific items* was 33.8% in the first quarter 2013, an improvement of 7.2 percentage points from the first quarter 2012 and a decline of 2.2 percentage points from the fourth quarter 2012. The year-on-year improvement was primarily driven by Nokia Siemens Networks transformation and restructuring program. The sequential decline was primarily due to seasonality and the absence of IPR income of approximately EUR 30 million that was recognized in the fourth quarter 2012.
· Operating expenses before specific items* in the first quarter 2013 were EUR 717 million, down from EUR 888 million in the first quarter 2012 and down from EUR 812 million in the fourth quarter 2012. On a year-on-year basis, the decline was primarily due to the successful execution of our transformation and restructuring program. On a sequential basis, the decline was primarily due to seasonality and lower incentive expenses.
· First quarter 2013 reported net sales of EUR 2 717 million declined 5.1% year-on-year. Excluding businesses divested and the exiting of certain customer contracts and countries, net sales were approximately flat year-on-year on a constant currency basis. Compared to the fourth quarter 2012, reported net sales declined 29.8%, primarily due to seasonality.
· Continued solid cash generation, with free cash flow of EUR 239 million in the first quarter 2013, compared to EUR 291 million in the first quarter 2012 and EUR 733 million in the fourth quarter 2012, further strengthening Nokia Siemens Networks financial position.
· In March 2013, Nokia Siemens Networks Finance B.V. issued EUR 800 million Senior Notes giving Nokia Siemens Networks a more solid long-term financial structure. Nokia Siemens Networks ended the first quarter 2013 with gross cash of EUR 2.8 billion and net cash of EUR 1.5 billion.
Rajeev Suri, Chief Executive Officer of Nokia Siemens Networks:
The Q1 2013 results demonstrate that we are executing well on our strategy and our turnaround is on track. We have fundamentally improved execution capabilities across the organization, through steps such as centralization of pricing, shifting to global delivery of services, and strengthening contract management. As a result, we have built an organization that can deliver strong operating profitability even in a quarter with seasonally lower revenues. In addition, our strong position in LTE demonstrates the power of our focus on both innovation and quality.
* The before specific items financial measures exclude specific items for all periods: restructuring charges, country/contract exit charges, purchase price accounting related charges and other one-time charges. For an analysis of specific items, refer to page 16 of this report.
Operating and Financial Review
Financial results
The figures presented in this Interim Report may differ from those reported earlier by Nokia Corporation (Nokia) due to the treatment of discontinued operations and certain accounting presentation differences, including segment reporting. For standalone financial reporting purposes, we currently have two reportable segments: Mobile Broadband and Global Services. Accordingly, we provide detailed disclosure of certain financial information for these reportable segments. For Nokia financial reporting purposes, we represent one reportable segment.
The following table sets forth our consolidated income statement for the first quarter 2013, the first quarter 2012 and the fourth quarter 2012.

(1) References to EBITDA are to profit/loss for the period from continuing operations, before income tax expense, financial income and expenses, depreciation, amortization and share of results of associates. Accordingly, EBITDA can be extracted from the Consolidated Financial Statements by taking loss for the period and adding back income tax expense, financial income and expenses, depreciation, amortization and share of results of associates.
We are not presenting EBITDA or EBITDA-based measures as measures of our results of operations. EBITDA and EBITDA-based measures have important limitations as an analytical tool, and they should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations.
Percentage point changes are denoted by pp in the above table.
Net sales
The year-on-year decrease of 5.1% in our net sales in the first quarter 2013 was primarily due to divestments of businesses in 2012 not consistent with our strategic focus as well as the exiting of certain customer contracts. Excluding these two factors, our net sales in the first quarter 2013 declined by approximately 1% year-on-year and were approximately flat on a constant currency basis* in the first quarter 2013 compared to the first quarter 2012.
Net sales related to our Global Services business declined year-on-year by 7.5% and were partially offset by higher net sales in Mobile Broadband. The year-on-year decline in Global Services was primarily due to lower net sales in Professional Services and Care. The year-on-year increase in Mobile Broadband was primarily due to higher LTE net sales partially offset by lower GSM, WCDMA, Voice and IP transformation net sales.
The sequential decrease of 29.8% in our net sales in the first quarter 2013 was primarily due to lower sales of both Mobile Broadband and Global Services consistent with industry seasonality as well as the absence of IPR income of approximately EUR 30 million that was recognized in the fourth quarter 2012.
Gross margin
On a year-on-year basis, the increase of 7.2 percentage points in our gross margin before specific items in the first quarter 2013 was primarily due to a higher gross margin in Mobile Broadband and Global Services, as well as a higher proportion of Mobile Broadband within the total sales mix. On a sequential basis, the decrease of 2.2 percentage points in our gross margin before specific items in the first quarter 2013 was due to a lower gross margin in Global Services as well as the absence of IPR income of approximately EUR 30 million that was recognized in the fourth quarter 2012, partially offset by higher gross margin in Mobile Broadband.
* Excluding the impact of changes in exchange rates in comparison to the Euro, our reporting currency.
Operating expenses
Our research and development (R&D) expenses before specific items decreased 16.3% year-on-year in the first quarter 2013. This decrease was primarily due to reduced investments in business activities that are not consistent with our focused strategy as well as increased R&D efficiency, resulting from the transformation and restructuring program and streamlining of our roadmaps. These cost improvements were partially offset by investments in areas that are consistent with our focused strategy, most notably LTE. Sequentially, our R&D expenses before specific items decreased 8.2% primarily due to lower incentive expenses.
Year-on-year, our selling and marketing expenses before specific items decreased 22.5% in the first quarter 2013 primarily due to structural cost savings. On a sequential basis, our selling and marketing expenses before specific items decreased 14.9% in the first quarter 2013 primarily due to lower incentive expenses and seasonally lower marketing spend.
Our administrative and general expenses before specific items decreased 22.8% year-on-year in the first quarter 2013 primarily due to structural cost savings. On a sequential basis, our administrative and general expenses before specific items were flat.
Our other income and expenses before specific items for the first quarter 2013 was income of EUR 7 million, compared to income of EUR 5 million in the first quarter 2012 and an expense of EUR 16 million in the fourth quarter 2012. On a sequential basis, this was primarily due to a negative impact, on a net basis, related to foreign currency fluctuations.
Operating margin
The year-on-year increase of 11.8 percentage points in our operating margin before specific items in the first quarter 2013 was primarily due to our enhanced gross margin and lower operating expenses in absolute terms as well as a percentage of net sales. The sequential decrease of 7.6 percentage points in our operating margin before specific items in the first quarter 2013 was primarily due to higher operating expenses as a percentage of net sales and lower gross margin.
The year-on-year increase in our operating margin after specific items in the first quarter 2013 was primarily due to lower other income and expenses as a percentage of net sales, higher gross margin and lower operating expenses. The sequential decrease in our operating margin in the first quarter 2013 was primarily due to higher operating expenses as a percentage of net sales and lower gross margin, partially offset by lower other income and expenses as a percentage of net sales.
Financial income and expenses
In the first quarter 2013, we incurred a net expense in financial income and expenses of EUR 75 million compared to a net expense of EUR 106 million in the first quarter 2012 and a net expense of EUR 79 million in the fourth quarter 2012. Our financial income and expenses consisted of EUR 29 million (EUR 31 million in the first quarter 2012 and the fourth quarter 2012) financial expenses primarily relating to interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, financial income of EUR 3 million (EUR 4 million in the first quarter 2012 and EUR 5 million in the fourth quarter 2012) and net foreign exchange losses of EUR 49 million (EUR 79 million in the first quarter 2012 and EUR 53 million in the fourth quarter 2012). Net foreign exchange losses during the quarter and the comparative quarters were due to the weakening of a currency that could not be hedged.
Income tax expense
In the first quarter 2013, we incurred income tax expense of EUR 73 million compared to income tax expense of EUR 189 million in the first quarter 2012 which included a write-off of EUR 135 million of deferred tax assets related to Germany. In the fourth quarter 2012, we incurred an income tax expense of EUR 88 million.

* Note that as of Q1 2013, our Customer Operations team is organized into the three geographical markets demonstrated in the table: Asia, Middle East and Africa markets covering Greater China, Asia-Pacific, India, Japan, the Middle East and Africa regions; Europe and Latin America markets covering East Europe, West Europe, South East Europe and Latin America; and North America markets covering both the United States and Canada.
On a regional basis, the year-on-year decline was primarily due to lower net sales in Europe and Latin America. These regions saw lower net sales in Mobile Broadband, partially offset by higher net sales in North America which saw growth in both Mobile Broadband and Global Services net sales.
On a regional basis, Mobile Broadband and Global Services net sales declined sequentially in all regions except North America. North America was approximately flat on a sequential basis, due to an increase in Mobile Broadband net sales, almost completely offset by a decline in Global Services net sales.

As we execute our restructuring plans, we are continuing to consider options as part of our transformation and restructuring program which may impact restructuring-related charges and related cash outflows in the remainder of 2013. Changes in estimates of timing or amounts of costs to be incurred and associated cash flows may become necessary as the transformation and restructuring program is implemented.
We continue to target to reduce our annualized operating expenses and production overheads before specific items by more than EUR 1 billion by the end of 2013, compared to the end of 2011.
In conjunction with this transformation and restructuring program, we estimate total restructuring related charges and the related cash outflows of approximately EUR 1.4 billion. As announced in the Nokia Interim Report published on April 18, 2013, this was an update to the earlier estimate of approximately EUR 1.3 billion for both restructuring related charges as well as restructuring related cash outflows.
At the end of the first quarter 2013, we had approximately 56 700 employees, a reduction of approximately 11 900 compared to the end of the first quarter 2012, and approximately 1 700 compared to the end of the fourth quarter 2012.
Disposals not treated as discontinued operations
On December 5, 2012, we entered into an agreement for the sale of our Business Support Systems business to Redknee Solutions Inc. The transaction closed on March 29, 2013. The transaction comprised of the core Business Support Systems assets and operations. As part of the transaction, approximately 1 200 employees were transferred to Redknee Solutions Inc. The assets and liabilities transferred, which are still subject to final net working capital determination, amounted to EUR 23 million and EUR 16 million, respectively. Upon closing, the Group recorded a gain on sale of EUR 2 million. The Business Support Systems business is reported in all other segments in our segment information.
In 2012, we transferred our microwave transport business to DragonWave, Inc. On April 10, 2013 we reached an agreement with DragonWave, Inc. on certain amendments to their collaboration agreements concerning the microwave transport business. The amendments involved the termination of the service agreement pursuant to which we had provided R&D services to DragonWave. Inc, and revision of certain terms and conditions of the supply agreement related to packet microwave and related products. The two companies will
continue to jointly coordinate technology development activities. We do not expect any significant charges to arise from the new arrangements.
Disposals treated as discontinued operations
On December 1, 2012 we reached a formal agreement with Marlin Equity Partners, for the sale of our Optical Networks Business comprising the complete Optical Networks product portfolio, services offering and existing customer contracts (together, the Optical Networks Business). The transaction closed on May 6, 2013 and managements best estimate of the loss to be recognized in the second quarter 2013, following the de-recognition of assets and liabilities transferred, amounts to EUR 130 million.
In accordance with IFRS, we have presented the Optical Networks Business as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for the the first quarter 2013, and have re-presented the comparative results for the first quarter 2012. For the first quarter 2013 the Optical Networks Business generated net sales of EUR 87 million (EUR 85 million for the first quarter 2012) and incurred a loss of EUR 7 million (loss of EUR 16 million for the first quarter 2012). For the year ended December 31, 2012 the Optical Networks Business generated net sales of EUR 407 million and incurred a net loss of EUR 63 million.
Financial position
Non-current assets decreased from EUR 1.7 billion at December 31, 2012 to EUR 1.6 billion at March 31, 2013. The decrease primarily results from depreciation and amortization charges. Current assets decreased from EUR 8.6 billion at December 31, 2012 to EUR 8.3 billion at March 31, 2013 due to a reduction in accounts receivable driven by cash collection and ongoing sale of receivables arrangements. This is also reflected in the cash position.
Non-current liabilities increased from EUR 1.4 billion at December 31, 2012 to EUR 1.6 billion at March 31, 2013. The change is as a result of an increase in long-term interest bearing liabilities due to the bond issuance (please refer to Liquidity and capital resources below), partially offset by long-term loan repayments. Current liabilities decreased from EUR 6.6 billion at December 31, 2012 to EUR 6.2 billion at March 31, 2013 primarily due to a reduction in accounts payable.
The impact of the retrospective application of the revised International Accounting Standard, IAS 19, Employee Benefits was a total adjustment of EUR 165 million to non-current assets and non-current liabilities at December 31, 2012 with the corresponding reduction in equity.

We continued our strong performance from a cash perspective, generating free cash flow (which takes account of restructuring charges and charges related to other specific items) of EUR 239 million in the first quarter 2013. Underpinning this performance is the continued improvement in the companys net working capital position.
In China, we paid a liability of EUR 172 million to Nokia during the first quarter 2013 which related to the networks business before that business was transferred to us upon our formation in 2007 and consisted of customer receivables collected by us on behalf of Nokia.
Capital resources
In March 2013, we issued EUR 450 million of 6.75% Senior Notes due April 2018 and EUR 350 million of 7.125% Senior Notes due April 2020, both at issue price of 100%. The net proceeds of EUR 783 million from the bond issuance were used to prepay the EUR 600 million term loan and EUR 50 million of the European Investment Bank loan in March 2013 and the remaining proceeds are to be used for general corporate purposes. Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. and Nokia Siemens Networks Oy act as the Guarantors for the Senior Notes.
For an analysis of our loans and borrowings related commitments at March 31, 2013, refer to Note 8, Loans and borrowings.

· We continued our mobile broadband deal momentum into 2013, adding commercial LTE deals in the first quarter, including: implementing a 4G (LTE) network for Movistar Chile and expanding its 3G network; delivering US Cellulars second wave of 4G (LTE) services; launching New Zealands first 4G service with Vodafone and upgrading its 2G and 3G networks; launching voice services for Bharti Airtels 4G TD-LTE customers in Pune, India; enabling Polkomtel to provide voice services with LTE in Poland; extending Oranges network in Switzerland and preparing it for 4G roll-out; modernizing and expanding E-Plus Groups GSM and HSPA+ networks in Germany; being selected by BH Telecom to expand and modernize its mobile network across the northern and eastern parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina; providing GSM-Railway (GSM-R) infrastructure for Polish Railways; implementing a 4G (LTE) network for SFR and upgrading its existing GSM and 3G networks in major French cities; conducting a successful 4G (LTE) trial with Vodacom Tanzania; and becoming sole supplier to DOCOMO PACIFIC, a subsidiary of the Japanese telecommunications operator NTT DOCOMO, for an end-to-end 4G LTE network in the U.S. territory of Guam.
· We continue to invest to stay at the forefront of mobile broadband, and at Mobile World Congress in February we announced Liquid Applications, the biggest base station transformation since the launch of GSM 22 years ago. Liquid Applications turns base stations into an intelligent part of a mobile operators network to serve and deliver local content. We also announced a collaboration with IBM to deliver this new platform, which allows mobile operators to create a truly unique mobile experience, relieve the ever-increasing strain on network infrastructure and bring new Liquid Broadband solutions to market. We are working together with SK Telecom to evaluate Liquid Applications in the operators LTE network.
· In February, we extended our small cell portfolio with new Flexi Zone Micro and Pico base stations for hot spots complemented by new service offerings that together deliver optimal coverage and capacity, and launched Smart Wi-Fi to seamlessly integrate wireless local area networks (WLAN) with mobile networks. We also introduced a range of new features to our Liquid Radio Software Suites to help operators address constantly changing capacity demands. The improved set of features can help release 35% of GSM spectrum for use by WCDMA and LTE, and ensure that LTE networks and spectrum are fully utilized.
· We were recognized by Global TD-LTE Initiative (GTI) for our global advances and deployments, winning the TD-LTE Market Development Award 2013, with TD-LTE innovations allowing operators to use their valuable spectrum more effectively, serve more customers profitably and converge TD-LTE and FDD LTE to meet steep data demand.
· In January, we enabled the worlds first live TV broadcast via TD-LTE with China Mobile. The TD-LTE network, solely built by us, exceeded requirements to transmit high definition (HD) video and images from cameras on the move, providing the best live TV experience, matching a relay via satellite.
· We were selected, along with Panasonic Mobile Communications, by NTT DOCOMO in Japan to develop next-generation mobile broadband network architecture for LTE-A (long term evolution-advanced), and as part of a multi-year agreement that will provide high-capacity base stations and Remote Radio Heads (RRH) for small cells roll-out.
· In services, we unveiled a suite of products and services at Mobile World Congress, to simplify operations for mobile operators as underlying networks become increasingly complex. We were selected by Lebanese telecommunications operator, touch, to simplify its operations and improve its customer experience. To achieve this, the operator has selected our unique operations support systems (OSS) portfolio and its related integration services. The solution will transform touchs service operations cost-efficiently and pave the way for the operator to achieve service assurance.

Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Accounting principles
Basis of presentation
This report comprises Nokia Siemens Networks (the Group) unaudited condensed interim consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of cash flows and statement of changes in shareholders equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position as at March 31, 2013 (the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements). The Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been derived from the Groups accounting records for the respective periods and represent non-statutory interim financial statements. The audited consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2012 was derived from the Groups annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements).
The Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and in conformity with IFRS as adopted by the European Union (EU). The consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of euro (EURm).
Accounting policies
The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation have been followed in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as were applied in the preparation of the 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 1, Accounting principles, in the 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements. The financial statements below do not contain all the information included in the 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements.
Adoption of new and amended standards
On January 1, 2013, the Group adopted the following new and revised standards issued by the IASB that are relevant to its operations and and effective for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2013.
IAS 19R, Employee Benefits
The historical comparative financials presented in the Interim Report include certain changes to previously reported information. These changes result from the retrospective application of a revised International Accounting Standard, IAS 19, Employee Benefits and mainly relate to the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and the Statement of Financial Position. For more information on the adjustments between the previously reported information and the adjusted information, refer to Note 9, Pensions.
IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement
As of January 1, 2013, the Group presents information on fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities due to the adoption of IFRS 13. Refer to Note 10, Fair value measurement.
Early adopted standards
The effective date for IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities was January 1, 2013, as issued by the IASB. In December 2012, the EU endorsed adoption of these standards for companies in the EU, with a mandatory effective date of January 1, 2014, earlier adoption is permitted. The Group early adopted these standards on January 1, 2013. The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
Seasonality
The Group experiences seasonality in its operations. The Groups sales are generally higher in the second and fourth quarters of the year compared to the first and third quarters of the year due to network operators planning, budgeting and spending cycles.
Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Estimates
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Groups accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements.
2. Specific items
The Group separately identifies and discloses certain items, referred to as specific items, by virtue of size, nature or occurrence, including restructuring charges, country/contract exit charges, purchase price accounting (PPA) related charges and asset impairment charges. This is consistent with the way that financial performance is measured by management and reported to the senior management team and Board of Directors and it assists in providing a meaningful analysis of operating results by excluding items that may not be indicative of the operating results of the Groups business.
The nature of the specific items recognized in the first quarter of 2013 has not materially changed since December 31, 2012 and as such, the rationale provided in Note 2, Specific items, of the 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements is still valid.
The following table presents specific items included in the operating profit/loss for the Groups continuing operations for the three-month periods ended:

Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Restructuring charges in the current period consist primarily of real estate exit costs. In the first quarter of 2012, restructuring charges consisted primarily of personnel restructuring charges (EUR 723 million).
The country/contract exit charges relate to the realignment of the Groups customer contract and geographic market portfolio and the related charges to terminate certain underperforming contracts and to withdraw from certain countries in line with the Groups restructuring program.
Purchase price accounting (PPA) related charges primarily consist of the amortization of finite lived intangible assets (customer relationships, developed technology and licenses to use tradename and trademark) recognized in the purchase price allocation stemming from the Groups formation and subsequent business combinations.
The other one-time charges included in administrative and general expenses consist of consultancy fees incurred in connection with the Groups ongoing restructuring program. The other one-time charges included in other expenses for continuing operations relate to a provision in connection with the closure of a manufacturing facility.
3. Restructuring
As at March 31, 2013, a restructuring provision of EUR 512 million is included within provisions (EUR 568 million at December 31, 2012). This provision includes personnel and other restructuring related costs, such as real estate exit costs. The provision is expected to be paid out by the end of 2014.
