Press Release

Espoo, Finland — August 7, 2013

 

NSN’s new name spells business as usual for mobile broadband powerhouse

 

·                  Telecoms networks specialist reaffirms focus on mobile broadband

·                  NSN sees rebranding as next chapter in transformation story

·                  Ownership change brings further stability, clarity and confidence in the future

 

Nokia Siemens Networks, the world’s mobile broadband specialist, today becomes Nokia Solutions and Networks and is now known as NSN. The new name reflects NSN’s change of ownership following Nokia’s acquisition of Siemens’ entire 50 percent stake, which was announced on July 1, 2013, and completed today. Nokia Solutions and Networks is wholly owned by Nokia and will continue to be consolidated by Nokia. As announced by Nokia, Rajeev Suri will continue as CEO and the NSN Executive Board will remain unchanged as a result of the transaction. Unveiling the new name, NSN renewed its commitment to driving leadership in the mobile broadband sector and to operating as a more independent entity.

 

“While our name and brand have changed, I would like to emphasize that our overall strategy and our focus on mobile broadband remain the same,” said Rajeev Suri, CEO of NSN. “Our customers will not notice any difference in our unstinting commitment to delivering superior technology and services across the world. Today’s announcement is, however, an exciting new chapter in our transformation story.”

 

When announcing the transaction, Nokia stated its intention to “continue to strengthen the company as a more independent entity”. NSN, therefore, sees continuity and stability as major goals in the change of ownership, and is committed to pressing on with its strategy.

 

NSN’s strong profitability, shown in Nokia’s Q2 results published on July 18, 2013, is testament to the success of that strategy and the increased efficiency of the company. As already reported by Nokia, NSN has delivered four consecutive quarters of strong profitability, positioning the company well for strong long-term leadership in the industry. The turnaround strategy, announced in November 2011, is therefore delivering solid results

 

NSN’s goal remains to develop profitable businesses with customers worldwide, deploying the ever-growing possibilities of universal connectivity and content.

Press Release

Espoo, Finland — August 8, 2013

 

NSN* Q2 2013 Press Release

 

Q2 2013 Net Sales of EUR 2.8 billion and Operating Margin Before Specific Items** of 12.2%

 

·      Second quarter 2013 net sales of EUR 2 758 million declined 14.7% year-on-year, but increased 1.5% sequentially. Excluding businesses divested and the exiting of certain customer contracts and countries, net sales were down approximately 11% year-on-year on a constant currency basis, but were up approximately 4% sequentially on a constant currency basis.

·      Gross margin before specific items** was 38.4% in the second quarter 2013, an improvement of 12.2 percentage points from the second quarter 2012 and an increase of 4.6 percentage points from the first quarter 2013. The year-on-year improvement was primarily due to higher gross margin in both Mobile Broadband and Global Services and non-recurring IPR income of EUR 17 million, as well as a slightly higher proportion of Mobile Broadband within the total sales mix. On a sequential basis, the increase in NSN gross margin before specific items** in the second quarter 2013 was due to significantly higher gross margin in Global Services as well as non-recurring IPR income of EUR 17 million, partially offset by lower gross margin in Mobile Broadband.

·      Operating expenses before specific items** in the second quarter 2013 were EUR 722 million, down from EUR 820 million in the second quarter 2012 and approximately flat compared to EUR 717 million in the first quarter 2013. On a year-on-year basis, operating expenses before specific items** were lower primarily due to reduced investments in business activities that are not consistent with the focused strategy and structural cost savings from NSN’s transformation and restructuring program, partially offset by higher investments in areas that are consistent with our focused strategy, most notably LTE.

·      In the second quarter 2013, NSN delivered operating margin before specific items** of 12.2%, driven by strong execution of NSN’s focused strategy. Operating margin before specific items** was 0.9% in the second quarter 2012 and 7.4% in the first quarter 2013.

·      As a result of the increased savings in the first half of 2013, and an accelerated pace of execution, we have, as already announced recently, increased the target for a reduction in annualized operating expenses and production overheads, excluding specific items, to more than EUR 1.5 billion by the end of 2013, compared to the end of 2011.

·      Free cash flow was EUR 5 million in the second quarter 2013, compared to EUR 121 million in the second quarter 2012 and EUR 239 million in the first quarter 2013. In the second quarter 2013, NSN’s free cash flow was affected negatively by net working capital-related outflows of EUR 239 million which included approximately EUR 190 million of restructuring-related outflows.

·      On July 1, 2013, Nokia Corporation and Siemens AG announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which Nokia acquires Siemens’ entire 50% stake in NSN. As announced on August 7, 2013, the transaction has been completed. In accordance with this transaction, the Siemens name is being phased out from Nokia Siemens Networks’ company name and branding. The new name and brand is Nokia Solutions and Networks, referred to as NSN, which will be used also for financial reporting purposes. Nokia Solutions and Networks is wholly owned by Nokia and will continue to be consolidated by Nokia.

 


*Nokia Siemens Networks was renamed as Nokia Solutions and Networks, also referred to as NSN, and the terms “Nokia Solutions and Networks”, “NSN” and “Nokia Siemens Networks” can be used interchangeably in this release.

 

**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 19 of the NSN Q2 2013 Interim Report.

 

Rajeev Suri, Chief Executive Officer of NSN:

 

Our fourth consecutive quarter of strong profitability is testament to excellent performance in both our Mobile Broadband and Global Services segments. As a result of our focused strategy and strong financial position, we believe NSN is very well positioned to build on its leadership position in LTE as our customers build the next generation of mobile broadband networks.”

Operating and Financial Review

 

Key financials

 

The figures presented in this press release and the NSN Q2 2013 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.

Percentage point changes are denoted by ‘pp’ in the above table.

 

Net sales

 

The year-on-year decrease of 14.7% in our net sales in the second quarter 2013 was partially due to divestments of businesses not consistent with our strategic focus, as well as the exiting of certain customer contracts and countries. Excluding these two factors, our net sales in the second quarter 2013 declined by approximately 11% due to reduced wireless infrastructure deployment activity, which affected both Mobile Broadband and Global Services. The year-on-year decrease in Mobile Broadband was primarily due to lower GSM and Voice and IP transformation net sales partially offset by higher LTE net sales. The year-on-year decrease in Global Services was primarily due to a reduction in network implementation activity, as some major network deployment projects near completion. On a regional basis, we had lower cyclical sales in Japan following high levels of spending a year ago, and lower year-on-year sales in Europe related to network modernization and constrained operator spending. In China, the year-on-year decline was due to constrained operator spending in anticipation of a technology shift to TD-LTE.

 

The sequential decrease in our net sales in the second quarter 2013 was due to divestments of businesses not consistent with our strategic focus as well as the exiting of certain

 

3



 

customer contracts and countries. Excluding these two factors, our net sales in the second quarter 2013 increased by approximately 4%, with higher sales in both Global Services and Mobile Broadband. The sequential increase in Global Services net sales was primarily due to higher sales in customer care services and professional services, partially offset by lower network implementation activity. The sequential increase in Mobile Broadband net sales was primarily due to higher WCDMA and GSM sales, partially offset by declines in LTE and CDMA sales. On a regional basis, our net sales benefited from stronger seasonal sales in Latin America, Europe and China. In Japan and North America, net sales declined sequentially due to the cyclical nature of carrier spending.

 

In the second quarter 2013, our net sales benefited from non-recurring IPR income of EUR 17 million. At constant currency*, our net sales would have decreased approximately 15% year-on-year and increased approximately 1% sequentially.

 


*Excluding the impact of changes in exchange rates in comparison to the Euro, our reporting currency.

 

Gross margin

 

On a year-on-year basis, the increase in our gross margin before specific items in the second quarter 2013 was primarily due to higher gross margin in both Mobile Broadband and Global Services and non-recurring IPR income of EUR 17 million, as well as a slightly higher proportion of Mobile Broadband within the total sales mix.

 

On a sequential basis, the increase in our gross margin before specific items in the second quarter 2013 was due to significantly higher gross margin in Global Services as well as non-recurring IPR income of EUR 17 million, partially offset by lower gross margin in Mobile Broadband. The higher gross margin in Global Services was primarily driven by a strong performance in customer care services and professional services, supported by strong execution relative to our restructuring program. In addition, the gross margin in Global Services benefited from a greater sequential revenue recognition triggered by certain project acceptances. We do not expect a similar benefit in the third quarter 2013.

 

Operating expenses

 

Our research and development expenses before specific items decreased 6.2% year-on-year in the second quarter 2013. On a year-on-year basis, research and development expenses before specific items were lower primarily due to reduced investments in business activities that are not consistent with our focused strategy as well as increased research and development efficiency, partially offset by higher investments in areas that are consistent with our focused strategy most notably LTE. On a sequential basis, research and development expenses before specific items increased slightly by 1.1% in the second quarter 2013.

 

On a year-on-year basis, our sales and marketing expenses before specific items decreased 16.4% in the second quarter 2013 primarily due to structural cost savings from our transformation and restructuring program. On a sequential basis, our sales and marketing expenses before specific items increased 3.3% in the second quarter 2013.

 

Our general and administrative expenses before specific items increased 22.2% year-on-year and 15.2% sequentially in the second quarter 2013. Both on a year-on-year and

 

4



 

sequential basis, general and administrative expenses before specific items were higher primarily due to costs associated with certain finance and information technology-related projects and divestments.

 

Our other income and expenses before specific items for the second quarter 2013 was income of EUR 29 million, compared to expense of EUR 25 million in the second quarter 2012, and income of EUR 7 million in the first quarter 2013. On a year-on-year basis, the change in other income and expenses before specific items was primarily due to a reduction in doubtful account allowances, a gain on the sale of real estate and a net positive impact related to foreign currency fluctuation. On a sequential basis, the change was primarily due to a reduction in doubtful account allowances and a gain on sale of real estate, partially offset by a net negative impact related to foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Operating margin

 

In the second quarter 2013, operating margin before specific items for Global Services was higher than operating margin before specific items for Mobile Broadband.

 

The year-on-year increase in our operating margin before specific items in the second quarter 2013 was primarily due to higher gross margin, partially offset by higher operating expenses as a percentage of net sales. On a year-on-year basis, operating margin before specific items increased for both Global Services and Mobile Broadband. The sequential increase in our operating margin before specific items in the second quarter 2013 was primarily due to higher gross margin. On a sequential basis, operating margin before specific items increased for Global Services.

 

Financial income and expenses

 

In the second quarter 2013, we incurred a net expense in financial income and expenses of EUR 35 million compared to a net expense of EUR 26 million in the second quarter 2012 and a net expense of EUR 75 million in the first quarter 2013. Our financial income and expenses consisted of financial expenses of EUR 27 million (EUR 30 million in the second quarter 2012 and EUR 29 million in the first quarter 2013), primarily relating to interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, and financial income of EUR 5 million (EUR 3 million in the second quarter 2012 and EUR 3 million in the first quarter 2013). Our other financial results consist primarily of net foreign exchange losses of EUR 13 million (a gain of EUR 1 million in the second quarter 2012 and losses of EUR 49 million in the first quarter 2013). The decrease in net foreign exchange losses compared to the first quarter 2013 is mainly due to a lower negative impact from unhedgeable currency risk and movements in foreign exchange rates. The net foreign exchange gain during the second quarter 2012 was mainly due to a positive impact from unhedgeable currency risk, partly offset by hedging costs.

 

Income tax expense

 

In the second quarter 2013, we incurred income tax expense of EUR 85 million compared to EUR 9 million in the second quarter 2012. The income tax expense in the second quarter 2012 was lower due to the profit mix across the various jurisdictions where we pay income tax. In the first quarter 2013, we incurred an income tax expense of EUR 73 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 geographical basis, the year-on-year decline in net sales was primarily due to Asia, Middle East and Africa and Europe and Latin America. In Asia, Middle East and Africa, the year-on-year net sales decline was due to lower sales in Japan and Greater China. In Japan, net sales declined year-on-year following high wireless infrastructure deployment activity in the second quarter 2012. In Greater China, the year-on-year decrease in net sales was due to constrained operator spending in anticipation of a technology shift to TD-LTE. In Europe and Latin America, the year-on-year net sales decline was related to network modernization and constrained operator spending in Europe.

 

On a geographical basis, the sequential increase in Europe and Latin America was primarily due to stronger seasonal sales. This was partially offset by a sequential decrease in North America due to lower sales following high wireless infrastructure deployment activity in the previous quarter.

 

For details of net sales by geographic area for the regions included in the above markets, refer to Note 4 of the NSN Q2 2013 Interim Report, Segment information.

The reduction in operating expenses and production overheads in the second quarter 2013 contributed to the improvement in overall profitability in the quarter and is expected to contribute further cost savings in the second half of 2013. As a result of the increased savings in the first half of 2013, and an accelerated pace of execution, we have, as already announced recently, increased the target for a reduction in annualized operating expenses and production overheads, excluding specific items, to more than EUR 1.5 billion by the end of 2013, compared to the end of 2011. The reduction in operating expenses is expected from across the restructuring and transformation program. Overall savings are expected to come largely from the previously announced organizational streamlining, we have also targeted areas such as real estate, information technology, product and service procurement costs, overall general and administrative expenses and a significant reduction of suppliers in order to further lower costs and improve quality.

 

Non-cash charges and timing differences account for the differences between the above charges and the corresponding cash outflows. 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.

 

At the end of the second quarter 2013, we had approximately 50 500 employees, a reduction of approximately 12 900 compared to the end of the second quarter 2012, and approximately 6 200 compared to the end of the first quarter 2013.

 

Q2 2013 Operating Highlights

 

·      Mobile broadband deal momentum continued and during the quarter we were selected by TIM Brasil to build its 4G LTE network ahead of the 2014 football World Cup; chosen by AIS to roll out 3G services in Thailand to meet growing demand; modernized the 3G network for M1 in Singapore; launched 4G mobile broadband services for Ooredoo in Qatar; and enabled a 4G network for Claro Chile, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the América Móvil group. We also completed the fourth set of interoperability testing of GSM-Railway (GSM-R) infrastructure with another European supplier against requirements specified by the European Union (EU).

·      We continue to invest to stay at the forefront of mobile broadband, and in May launched new software applications for the Liquid Radio WCDMA Software Suite to help mobile broadband operators manage the smartphone boom and substantially reduce the network signaling overload. We enhanced our Smart Wi-Fi solution to provide the industry’s most comprehensive traffic steering capabilities between cellular and Wi-Fi networks. We are also launching a new 3G Femtocell Access Point for seamless connectivity in residential areas to enable seamless connectivity and positive customer experience across all networks.

·      ABI Research has ranked us number one in its macro base station vendor competitive assessment, with high scores in implementation and innovation, and a best-in-class rank for essential IP, advanced features, multi-protocol support and LTE RAN contracts criteria.

INTERIM REPORT

 

Espoo August 8, 2013.

NSN* Interim Report for Q2 2013 and January-June 2013

Q2 2013 Net Sales of EUR 2.8 billion and Operating Margin Before Specific Items** of 12.2%

 

Q2 2013 Financial Highlights:

 

·                  Second quarter 2013 net sales of EUR 2 758 million declined 14.7% year-on-year, but increased 1.5% sequentially. Excluding businesses divested and the exiting of certain customer contracts and countries, net sales were down approximately 11% year-on-year on a constant currency basis, but were up approximately 4% sequentially on a constant currency basis.

 

·                  Gross margin before specific items** was 38.4% in the second quarter 2013, an improvement of 12.2 percentage points from the second quarter 2012 and an increase of 4.6 percentage points from the first quarter 2013. The year-on-year improvement was primarily due to higher gross margin in both Mobile Broadband and Global Services and non-recurring IPR income of EUR 17 million, as well as a slightly higher proportion of Mobile Broadband within the total sales mix. On a sequential basis, the increase in NSN gross margin before specific items** in the second quarter 2013 was due to significantly higher gross margin in Global Services as well as non-recurring IPR income of EUR 17 million, partially offset by lower gross margin in Mobile Broadband.

 

·                  Operating expenses before specific items** in the second quarter 2013 were EUR 722 million, down from EUR 820 million in the second quarter 2012 and approximately flat compared to EUR 717 million in the first quarter 2013. On a year-on-year basis, operating expenses before specific items** were lower primarily due to reduced investments in business activities that are not consistent with the focused strategy and structural cost savings from NSN’s transformation and restructuring program, partially offset by higher investments in areas that are consistent with our focused strategy, most notably LTE.

 

·                  In the second quarter 2013, NSN delivered operating margin before specific items** of 12.2%, driven by strong execution of NSN’s focused strategy. Operating margin before specific items** was 0.9% in the second quarter 2012 and 7.4% in the first quarter 2013.

 

·                  As a result of the increased savings in the first half of 2013, and an accelerated pace of execution, we have, as already announced recently, increased the target for a reduction in annualized operating expenses and production overheads, excluding specific items, to more than EUR 1.5 billion by the end of 2013, compared to the end of 2011.

 

·                  Free cash flow was EUR 5 million in the second quarter 2013, compared to EUR 121 million in the second quarter 2012 and EUR 239 million in the first quarter 2013. In the second quarter 2013, NSN’s free cash flow was affected negatively by net working capital-related outflows of EUR 239 million which included approximately EUR 190 million of restructuring-related outflows.

 

·                  On July 1, 2013, Nokia Corporation and Siemens AG announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which Nokia acquires Siemens’ entire 50% stake in NSN. As announced on August 7, 2013, the transaction has been completed. In accordance with this transaction, the Siemens name is being phased out from Nokia Siemens Networks’ company name and branding. The new name and brand is Nokia Solutions and Networks, also referred to as NSN, which will be used also for financial reporting purposes. Nokia Solutions and Networks is wholly owned by Nokia and will continue to be consolidated by Nokia.

 

Rajeev Suri, Chief Executive Officer of NSN:

 

Our fourth consecutive quarter of strong profitability is testament to excellent performance in both our Mobile Broadband and Global Services segments. As a result of our focused strategy and strong financial position, we believe NSN is very well positioned to build on its leadership position in LTE as our customers build the next generation of mobile broadband networks.

 


*  Nokia Siemens Networks was renamed as Nokia Solutions and Networks, also referred to as NSN, and the terms “Nokia Solutions and Networks”, “NSN” and “Nokia Siemens Networks” can be used interchangeably in this release.

** 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 19 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 second quarter 2013, the second quarter 2012 and the first quarter 2013.

(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 14.7% in our net sales in the second quarter 2013 was partially due to divestments of businesses not consistent with our strategic focus, as well as the exiting of certain customer contracts and countries. Excluding these two factors, our net sales in the second quarter 2013 declined by approximately 11% due to reduced wireless infrastructure deployment activity, which affected both Mobile Broadband and Global Services. The year-on-year decrease in Mobile Broadband was primarily due to lower GSM and Voice and IP transformation net sales partially offset by higher LTE net sales. The year-on-year decrease in Global Services was primarily due to a reduction in network implementation activity, as some major network deployment projects near completion. On a regional basis, we had lower cyclical sales in Japan following high levels of spending a year ago, and lower year-on-year sales in Europe related to network modernization and constrained operator spending. In China, the year-on-year decline was due to constrained operator spending in anticipation of a technology shift to TD-LTE.

 

The sequential decrease in our net sales in the second quarter 2013 was due to divestments of businesses not consistent with our strategic focus, as well as the exiting of certain customer contracts and countries. Excluding these two factors, our net sales in the second quarter 2013 increased by approximately 4%, with higher sales in both Global Services and Mobile Broadband. The sequential increase in Global Services net sales was primarily due to higher sales in customer care services and professional services, partially offset by lower network implementation activity. The sequential increase in Mobile Broadband net sales was primarily due to higher WCDMA and GSM sales, partially offset by declines in LTE and CDMA sales. On a regional basis, our net sales benefitted from stronger seasonal sales in Latin America, Europe and China. In Japan and North America, net sales declined sequentially due to the cyclical nature of carrier spending.

 

In the second quarter 2013, our net sales benefited from non-recurring IPR income of EUR 17 million. At constant currency*, our net sales would have decreased approximately 15% year-on-year and increased approximately 1% sequentially.

 


*Excluding the impact of changes in exchange rates in comparison to the Euro, our reporting currency.

Gross margin

 

On a year-on-year basis, the increase in our gross margin before specific items in the second quarter 2013 was primarily due to higher gross margin in both Mobile Broadband and Global Services and non-recurring IPR income of EUR 17 million, as well as a slightly higher proportion of Mobile Broadband within the total sales mix.

 

On a sequential basis, the increase in our gross margin before specific items in the second quarter 2013 was due to significantly higher gross margin in Global Services as well as non-recurring IPR income of EUR 17 million, partially offset by lower gross margin in Mobile Broadband. The higher gross margin in Global Services was primarily driven by a strong performance in customer care services and professional services, supported by strong execution relative to our restructuring program. In addition, the gross margin in Global Services benefited from a greater sequential revenue recognition triggered by certain project acceptances. We do not expect a similar benefit in the third quarter 2013.

 

Operating expenses

 

Our research and development expenses before specific items decreased 6.2% year-on-year in the second quarter 2013. On a year-on-year basis, research and development expenses before specific items were lower primarily due to reduced investments in business activities that are not consistent with our focused strategy as well as increased research and development efficiency, partially offset by higher investments in areas that are consistent with our focused strategy most notably LTE. On a sequential basis, research and development expenses before specific items increased slightly by 1.1% in the second quarter 2013.

 

On a year-on-year basis, our sales and marketing expenses before specific items decreased 16.4% in the second quarter 2013 primarily due to structural cost savings from our transformation and restructuring program. On a sequential basis, our sales and marketing expenses before specific items increased 3.3% in the second quarter 2013.

 

Our general and administrative expenses before specific items increased 22.2% year-on-year and 15.2% sequentially in the second quarter 2013. Both on a year-on-year and sequential basis, general and administrative expenses before specific items were higher primarily due to costs associated with certain finance and information technology-related projects and divestments.

 

Our other income and expenses before specific items for the second quarter 2013 was income of EUR 29 million, compared to expense of EUR 25 million in the second quarter 2012, and income of EUR 7 million in the first quarter 2013. On a year-on-year basis, the change in other income and expenses before specific items was primarily due to a reduction in doubtful account allowances, a gain on the sale of real estate and a net positive impact related to foreign currency fluctuation. On a sequential basis, the change was primarily due to a reduction in doubtful account allowances and a gain on sale of real estate, partially offset by a net negative impact related to foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Operating margin

 

In the second quarter 2013, operating margin before specific items for Global Services was higher than operating margin before specific items for Mobile Broadband.

 

The year-on-year increase in our operating margin before specific items in the second quarter 2013 was primarily due to higher gross margin, partially offset by higher operating expenses as a percentage of net sales. On a year-on-year basis, operating margin before specific items increased for both Global Services and Mobile Broadband. The sequential increase in our operating margin before specific items in the second quarter 2013 was primarily due to higher gross margin. On a sequential basis, operating margin before specific items increased for Global Services.

Financial income and expenses

 

In the second quarter 2013, we incurred a net expense in financial income and expenses of EUR 35 million compared to a net expense of EUR 26 million in the second quarter 2012 and a net expense of EUR 75 million in the first quarter 2013. Our financial income and expenses consisted of financial expenses of EUR 27 million (EUR 30 million in the second quarter 2012 and EUR 29 million in the first quarter 2013), primarily relating to interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, and financial income of EUR 5 million (EUR 3 million in the second quarter 2012 and EUR 3 million in the first quarter 2013). Our other financial results consist primarily of net foreign exchange losses of EUR 13 million (a gain of EUR 1 million in the second quarter 2012 and losses of EUR 49 million in the first quarter 2013). The decrease in net foreign exchange losses compared to the first quarter 2013 is mainly due to a lower negative impact from unhedgeable currency risk and movements in foreign exchange rates. The net foreign exchange gain during the second quarter 2012 was mainly due to a positive impact from unhedgeable currency risk, partly offset by hedging costs.

 

Income tax expense

 

In the second quarter 2013, we incurred income tax expense of EUR 85 million compared to EUR 9 million in the second quarter 2012. The income tax expense in the second quarter 2012 was lower due to the profit mix across the various jurisdictions where we pay income tax. In the first quarter 2013, we incurred an income tax expense of EUR 73 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 geographical basis, the year-on-year decline in net sales was primarily due to Asia, Middle East and Africa and Europe and Latin America. In Asia, Middle East and Africa, the year-on-year net sales decline was due to lower sales in Japan and Greater China. In Japan, net sales declined year-on-year following high wireless infrastructure deployment activity in the second quarter 2012. In Greater China, the year-on-year decrease in net sales was due to constrained operator spending in anticipation of a technology shift to TD-LTE. In Europe and Latin America, the year-on-year net sales decline was related to network modernization and constrained operator spending in Europe.

 

On a geographical basis, the sequential increase in Europe and Latin America was primarily due to stronger seasonal sales. This was partially offset by a sequential decrease in North America due to lower sales following high wireless infrastructure deployment activity in the previous quarter.

 

For details of net sales by geographic area for the regions included in the above markets, refer to Note 4, Segment information.

The reduction in operating expenses and production overheads in the second quarter 2013 contributed to the improvement in overall profitability in the quarter and is expected to contribute further cost savings in the second half of 2013. As a result of the increased savings in the first half of 2013, and an accelerated pace of execution, we have, as already announced recently, increased the target for a reduction in annualized operating expenses and production overheads, excluding specific items, to more than EUR 1.5 billion by the end of 2013, compared to the end of 2011. The reduction in operating expenses is expected from across the restructuring and transformation program. Overall savings are expected to come largely from the previously announced organizational streamlining, we have also targeted areas such as real estate, information technology, product and service procurement costs, overall general and administrative expenses and a significant reduction of suppliers in order to further lower costs and improve quality.

 

Non-cash charges and timing differences account for the differences between the above charges and the corresponding cash outflows. 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.

 

At the end of the second quarter 2013, we had approximately 50 500 employees, a reduction of approximately 12 900 compared to the end of the second quarter 2012, and approximately 6 200 compared to the end of the first quarter 2013.

 

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. Assets, amounting to EUR 25 million, and liabilities, amounting to EUR 19 million were disposed of during the second quarter 2013. 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. In the second quarter 2013, invoices totalling EUR 11 million were written-off related to the terminated service agreement. This is included in restructuring related charges along with other divestment related charges in recent quarters.

 

When we dispose of businesses, our gains and losses at the time of disposition are subject to change based on negotiations of final purchase consideration.

 

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 a loss on disposal of EUR 117 million was recognized following derecognition of the assets and liabilities transferred of EUR 77 million and payment of EUR 40 million cash consideration (refer to Note 6, Disposals).

 

In accordance with IFRS, we have presented the Optical Networks Business as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for the the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, and have re-presented the comparative results for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2012. In the second quarter 2013, the Optical Networks Business generated net sales of EUR 23 million (EUR 110 million in the second quarter 2012) and incurred a loss of EUR 128 million (loss of EUR 2 million in the second quarter 2012). In the second quarter 2013, the cash outflows related to the divestment of the Optical Networks Business are EUR 68 million (refer to Note 6, Disposals). 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 June 30, 2013. The decrease primarily results from depreciation and amortization charges, partially offset by purchases of plant, property and equipment. Current assets decreased from EUR 8.6 billion at December 31, 2012 to EUR 7.2 billion at June 30, 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.

 

At June 30, 2013, non-current liabilities remained at EUR 1.4 billion. Current liabilities decreased from EUR 6.6 billion at December 31, 2012 to EUR 5.3 billion at June 30, 2013 mainly due to the payment of short-term incentives and a reduction in advance payments received and 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. Refer to Note 9, Pensions, in the first quarter 2013 unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

The proceeds from/purchases of current available-for-sale investments, liquid assets are presented in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. This component has been included in our definition of free cash flow from Q2 2013 onwards and the 2012 comparatives have been updated accordingly.

 

(2) Free cash flow in Q2 2013 includes cash outflows of EUR 68 million from discontinued operations due to the divestment of the Optical Networks Business (Refer to Note 6, Disposals).

 

(3) Capital expenditures represent purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

 

(4) Includes EUR 25 million (EUR 10 million in Q2 2012 and EUR 12 million in Q1 2013) cash held temporarily due to sale of receivable arrangements in China and divestment of the Optical Networks Business, Business Support Systems and the fixed-line broadband access business where we continue to perform services within a contractually defined scope for a specified timeframe.

 

In the second quarter 2013, we continued our strong performance from a cash perspective, generating EUR 5 million free cash flow, which includes approximately EUR 190 million of restructuring-related outflows, and EUR 68 million of cash outflows related to our discontinued operations (refer to Note 6, Disposals). Underpinning this performance is the continued improvement in our net working capital position.

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 780 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.

Q2 2013 Operating Highlights:

 

·                  Mobile broadband deal momentum continued and during the quarter we were selected by TIM Brasil to build its 4G LTE network ahead of the 2014 football World Cup; chosen by AIS to roll out 3G services in Thailand to meet growing demand; modernized the 3G network for M1 in Singapore; launched 4G mobile broadband services for Ooredoo in Qatar; and enabled a 4G network for Claro Chile, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the América Móvil group. We also completed the fourth set of interoperability testing of GSM-Railway (GSM-R) infrastructure with another European supplier against requirements specified by the European Union (EU).

 

·                  We continue to invest to stay at the forefront of mobile broadband, and in May launched new software applications for the Liquid Radio WCDMA Software Suite to help mobile broadband operators manage the smartphone boom and substantially reduce the network signaling overload. We enhanced our Smart Wi-Fi solution to provide the industry’s most comprehensive traffic steering capabilities between cellular and Wi-Fi networks. We are also launching a new 3G Femtocell Access Point for seamless connectivity in residential areas to enable seamless connectivity and positive customer experience across all networks.

 

·                  ABI Research has ranked us number one in its macro base station vendor competitive assessment, with high scores in implementation and innovation, and a best-in-class rank for essential IP, advanced features, multi-protocol support and LTE RAN contracts criteria.

 

·                  We continue to push the limits of 4G technology with a series of unmatched speed records. In June, we achieved a record-breaking 56 Mbps peak upload throughput in a TD-LTE network using its commercial 4G base station with multiple antenna technology and a single 20 MHz carrier. A1 Telekom Austria conducted a successful demonstration of LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation using our current base station hardware, showcasing download speeds of far more than twice the current 4G LTE peak rates.

 

·                  With our Technology Vision 2020, we are implementing a hands-on innovation approach to enable mobile broadband networks to profitably deliver 1 gigabyte of personalized data per user per day by 2020. In June 2013, it was announced that we are putting our Technology Vision 2020 into practice, with a big data telco platform prototype analyzing 1 million live messages a second, bridging the best of IT and telco technologies.

 

·                  We were also recognized for our progress in innovation. In May, we won two Emerging Technologies Awards at CTIA 2013, for our Fuel Cell solution and Liquid Applications, further strengthening our commitment to helping operators reduce their carbon footprints and to transforming the base station into an intelligent part of an operator’s network, enabling it to serve and deliver local content. We are a three-time winner with our operator customers at the prestigious Global Telecoms Business Innovation Awards. The three awards, in the ‘Wireless network infrastructure innovation’ category, recognized joint projects with SK Telecom (Liquid Applications), touch Telecom (centralized Network and Operations Center) and Zain Kuwait (Customer Experience Index) that demonstrated innovation to better serve the industry’s end customers.

 

·                  In May, we opened a Global Delivery Center (GDC) hub in China. The new facility will provide tools, processes and skilled resources to remotely manage mobile broadband networks for operators in China and around the world.

 

·                  We have extended our Customer Experience Management (CEM) portfolio to enable operators to pinpoint their best customers by service and location. The operator, touch, selected us to help improve our customer experience management in Lebanon using our unique operations support systems (OSS) portfolio and related integration services to transform its service operations cost-efficiently and pave the way for the operator to achieve service assurance. Zain Kuwait has deployed our CEM, to introduce a superior service experience for its mobile broadband customers.

(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.

 

The decline in our net sales was due to lower net sales in Global Services as well as lower net sales in businesses not consistent with our strategic focus. In addition, net sales in Mobile Broadband also declined on an overall basis, while delivering strong growth in LTE.

 

Our gross margin before specific items increased primarily due to higher gross margin in both Mobile Broadband and Global Services, as well as a higher proportion of Mobile Broadband within the total sales mix

 

The decrease in our operating expenses was primarily due to structural cost savings as well as overall cost controls.

 

Our operating margin before specific items for the first six months of 2013 was higher than the first six months of 2012. This year on year increase was primarily driven by gross margin improvements and reductions in operating expenses related to the execution of our transformation and restructuring program.

 

Operating profit for the six months ended June 30, 2013 significantly improved, compared to a loss in the same period in 2012 which was impacted by higher restructuring charges.

 

Our net financial income and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was EUR 110 million compared to EUR 132 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in our other financial results driven by a lower negative impact from unhedgeable currency risk and movements in foreign exchange rates.

 

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, we incurred an income tax expense of EUR 158 million, compared to EUR 198 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The income tax expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 included a write-off of EUR 135 million of deferred tax assets related to Germany, which was partially offset by a lower tax expense in the second quarter of 2012, due to the profit mix across the various jurisdictions where we pay income tax.

 

Our loss in the first six months of 2013 was significantly lower compared to 2012 primarily due to lower restructuring related charges.
