Risto Siilasmaa, Nokia Chairman and interim CEO commented on the company'sprogress: 'The fourth quarter of 2013 was a watershed moment in Nokia's history. Havingreceived overwhelmingly strong support from our shareholders at ourextraordinary general meeting in November for the sale of our phones businessto Microsoft, we are diligently working towards defining Nokia's futuredirection. I am pleased with the progress we have made thus far in our strategyevaluation and excited by the opportunities ahead for each of our threecontinuing businesses: NSN, HERE and Advanced Technologies. During the fourth quarter, Nokia's continuing businesses produced a healthyunderlying operating margin of 12%. While the first quarter of the year isseasonally weak for our continuing operations, we continue to expect theclosing of the Microsoft transaction to significantly improve Nokia's earningsprofile. The strength of NSN's underlying profitability highlights just howfundamentally different the company is today, compared with two years ago whenit started its restructuring and transformation program. Today, we are morefocused, more innovative and more disciplined. With these fundamental elementsin place, we believe NSN is well-positioned to deliver solid businessperformance for the year ahead. For HERE, we see long-term transformational growth opportunities in theautomotive market, as well as in other industries. Thus, we are planning toincrease investment levels in 2014 to capture these exciting opportunities inthe coming years. For Advanced Technologies, we are focused on continuing to invest ininnovation, implementing our successful business strategy of licensing ourindustry leading intellectual property to companies interested in Nokia'sinnovations, and are planning to add further value to our partners throughtechnology licensing.'

Nokia has three continuing businesses: NokiaSolutions and Networks (NSN), HERE and Advanced Technologies. Nokia reportsfinancial information for a total of four reportable segments - MobileBroadband and Global Services within NSN, HERE, and Advanced Technologies -and, additionally, separate information for Discontinued Operations. NSN is oneof the leading global providers of telecommunications infrastructure hardware,software and services, with the focus on the mobile broadband market. On August7, 2013 Nokia completed the acquisition of Siemens' stake in Nokia SiemensNetworks, which was a joint venture between Nokia and Siemens. In accordancewith this transaction, the Siemens name has been phased out from Nokia SiemensNetworks' company name and branding. The new name and brand is Nokia Solutionsand Networks, also referred to as NSN, which is being used also for financialreporting purposes. Until the end of the second quarter 2013, NSN has beenreported as a single reportable segment for Nokia financial reporting purposes.Since then Nokia reports financial information for two operating and reportablesegments within NSN, Mobile Broadband and Global Services. Mobile Broadbandprovides mobile operators with radio and core network software together withthe hardware needed to deliver mobile voice and data services. Global Servicesprovides mobile operators with a broad range of services, includingprofessional services, network implementation and customer care services. NSNalso contains NSN Other, which includes net sales and related cost of sales andoperating expenses of non-core businesses as well as Optical Networks throughMay 6, 2013 when its divestment was completed. HERE focuses on the developmentof location-based services and local commerce. We introduced HERE as the newbrand for our location and mapping service in November 2012. As of January 1,2013 our Location & Commerce business and reportable segment was renamed HERE.Advanced Technologies business builds on several of Nokia's current ChiefTechnology Office (CTO) and Intellectual Property Rights activities throughadvanced research, development and concept products in areas such asconnectivity, sensing and material technologies, as well as web and cloudtechnologies. At the same time, Advanced Technologies plans to continue tobuild Nokia's patent portfolio from this innovation and targets to expand itsindustry-leading technology licensing program, spanning technologies thatenable mobility today and tomorrow. Nokia's IPR income is reported withAdvanced Technologies. Nokia has signed an agreement on September 2, 2013 toenter into a transaction whereby Nokia will sell substantially all of itsDevices & Services business to Microsoft. After receiving shareholderconfirmation and approval at Nokia's Extraordinary General Meeting in November2013 for the pending sale of substantially all of its Devices & Servicesbusiness, Nokia is currently reporting substantially all of its former Devices& Services business as discontinued operations. Historical results informationfor past periods before the fourth quarter 2013 has been regrouped forhistorical comparative purposes. As is customary, certain judgments have beenmade when regrouping historical results information and allocating items in theregrouped results. Note 4 relating to changes to historical comparative financials due to revisedIFRS accounting standard, IAS19 Employee Benefits: The historical comparativefinancials presented in this report include certain changes to previouslyreported information. These changes result from the retrospective applicationof a revised IFRS accounting standard IAS19, Employee Benefits and mainlyrelate to consolidated statements of comprehensive income and financialposition. For more information on the adjustments between the previouslyreported information and the adjusted information, please see the relateddisclosure starting on page 39 of the complete Q1 2013 interim report withtables published on April 18, 2013. Note 5 relating to January-December 2013 results: Further information about theresults for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2013 can be found onpages 27-32, 34-45 and 47 of the complete Q4 2013 and full year 2013 reportwith tables. Note 6 relating to Nokia net cash and other liquid assets: Calculated as totalcash and other liquid assets less interest-bearing liabilities. For selectedinformation on Nokia Group interest-bearing liabilities, please see the tableon pages 53-54 of the complete Q4 2013 and full year 2013 report with tables. NOKIA OUTLOOK Continuing Operations- Nokia expects NSN's non-IFRS operating margin for the full year 2014 to betowards the higher end of NSN's targeted long term non-IFRS operating marginrange of 5% to 10%. This outlook is based on Nokia's expectations regarding anumber of factors, including: - competitive industry dynamics;- product and regional mix;- the timing of major new network deployments;- efforts to drive year-on-year net sales growth in the second half of 2014; and- expected continued improvement under NSN's transformation programs. - Nokia expects NSN's non-IFRS operating margin in the first quarter 2014 to beapproximately 5% plus or minus 4 percentage points. This outlook is based onNokia's expectation that the first quarter will be seasonally weak, in additionto the factors mentioned above. - During 2014 Nokia expects HERE to invest to capture longer termtransformational growth opportunities. This is expected to negatively affectHERE's 2014 non-IFRS operating margin. - Nokia expects Advanced Technologies annualized net sales run rate to increaseto approximately EUR 600 million during 2014, after Microsoft becomes a moresignificant intellectual property licensee in conjunction with the sale ofsubstantially all of our Devices & Services business to Microsoft. Thiscompares to Advanced Technologies' current annualized net sales run rate ofapproximately EUR 500 million. - On a non-IFRS basis, until a pattern of tax profitability is reestablished inFinland, Nokia expects to record approximately EUR 250 million of annualizedtax expense for the continuing operations. This corresponds to the totalanticipated cash tax obligations for NSN, HERE, and Advanced Technologies. After a pattern of tax profitability is reestablished in Finland, Nokia expectsto record tax expenses at a long term effective tax rate of approximately 25%,however Nokia's cash tax obligations are expected to remain at approximatelyEUR 250 million annually until Nokia's Finnish tax losses carried forward ofapproximately EUR 11 billion have been fully utilized. - Nokia expects full year 2014 capital expenditures for continuing operationsto be approximately EUR 200 million, primarily attributable to NSN. Discontinued Operations- Nokia received shareholder approval for the sale of substantially all of itsDevices & Services business at our Extraordinary General Meeting. As a result,Nokia has commenced reporting substantially all of its Devices & Servicesbusiness as discontinued operations. In the first quarter 2014, Nokia expectsthe discontinued operations related to the Devices & Services business togenerate a negative operating margin on a non-IFRS basis. NOKIA'S ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2014Nokia's Annual General Meeting 2014 is scheduled to be held on June 17, 2014.The Nokia Board of Directors will convene the meeting and publish the noticeand related proposals at a later date. As announced earlier, Nokia's Board of Directors is conducting a strategyevaluation for Nokia Group between signing and closing of the transactionwhereby Nokia will sell substantially all of its Devices & Services businessand license its patents to Microsoft. This evaluation is comprised ofevaluations of strategies for each of Nokia's three continuing businesses andpossible synergies between them, as well as an evaluation of the optimalcorporate and capital structure for Nokia after the closing of the transaction.After this evaluation is complete, deemed excess capital is planned to bedistributed to shareholders. The Nokia Board of Directors will decide on itsproposal to the Annual General Meeting on distributions to shareholders onlyafter the anticipated closing of the transaction and the completion of thestrategy evaluation. NOKIA TO SELL DEVICES & SERVICES TO MICROSOFT IN EUR 5.44 BILLION ALL-CASHTRANSACTION On September 3, 2013, Nokia announced that it had signed an agreement to enterinto a transaction whereby Nokia will sell substantially all of its Devices &Services business and license its patents to Microsoft for EUR 5.44 billion incash, payable at closing. At our Extraordinary General Meeting on November 19, 2013, Nokia receivedshareholder approval for the sale, with more than 99% of the votes cast insupport of the proposal and recommendation of the Nokia Board of Directors. Asa result, Nokia has commenced reporting substantially all of its Devices &Services business as discontinued operations. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014, subject toregulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. As of the end of2013, Nokia has received the majority of regulatory approvals for thetransaction. FOURTH QUARTER 2013 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING DISCUSSION NOKIA'S CONTINUING OPERATIONS See note 3 to our Summary Financial Information table above concerning ourcurrent operational and reporting structure and note 4 concerning certainchanges to historical comparative financials due to a revised IFRS accountingstandard, IAS19 Employee Benefits. The following discussion includesinformation on a non-IFRS, or underlying business performance, basis. See notes1 and 2 to our Summary Financial Information table above for information aboutour underlying non-IFRS results and the non-IFRS exclusions for the periodsdiscussed below. The following table sets forth the year-on-year and sequential growth rates inour net sales on a reported basis and at constant currency for the periodsindicated. FOURTH QUARTER 2013 NET SALES, REPORTED & CONSTANT CURRENCY1 ---------------------------------------------------- YoY QoQ Change Change---------------------------------------------------Continuing operations -21% 18% net sales - reported Continuing operations -17% 18% net sales - constant currency1 NSN net sales - reported -22% 20% NSN net sales - constant currency1 -19% 20% HERE net sales - reported -9% 20% HERE net sales - constant currency1 -8% 21% --------------------------------------------------- Note 1: Change in net sales at constant currency excludes the impact of changesin exchange rates in comparison to the Euro, our reporting currency. At constant currency Nokia's continuing operations net sales would havedecreased 17% year-on-year and increased 18% sequentially. The following table sets forth Nokia's continuing operations financial positionat the end of the periods indicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequentialgrowth rates. NOKIA'S CONTINUING OPERATIONS CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION ----------------------------------------------------------------EUR million Q4/2013 Q4/2012 YoY Q3/2013 QoQ Change Change------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Total cash and 8 971 9 909 -9% 9 134 -2%other liquid assets NSN contribution 2 768 2 420 14% 2 656 4%---------------------------------------------------------------Net cash and 2 309 4 360 -47% 2 413 -4%other liquid assets1 ---------------------------------------------------------------NSN contribution 1 678 1 270 32% 1 536 9%--------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1: Total cash and other liquid assets minus interest-bearing liabilities. In the fourth quarter 2013, Nokia's total cash and other liquid assetsdecreased by EUR 163 million and Nokia's net cash and other liquid assetsdecreased by EUR 104 million, compared to the third quarter 2013. Thesequential decline in Nokia's net cash and other liquid assets was primarilydue to cash outflows from discontinued operations, which more than offset cashinflows from Nokia's continuing operations. The cash inflows from Nokia'scontinuing operations were primarily driven by an increase in NSN'sprofitability on a sequential basis. Excluding approximately EUR 150 million ofrestructuring-related cash outflows, NSN had cash inflows from net workingcapital in the fourth quarter 2013 of approximately EUR 80 million. At the end of the fourth quarter 2013, NSN's contribution to Nokia's total cashand other liquid assets was approximately EUR 2.8 billion and its contributionto Nokia's net cash and other liquid assets was approximately EUR 1.7 billion,a sequential increase of approximately EUR 110 million and EUR 140 million,respectively. In the fourth quarter 2013, Nokia's continuing operations financial income andexpenses was a net expense of EUR 50 million, compared to a net expense of 52million in the fourth quarter 2012 and a net expense of EUR 63 million in thethird quarter 2013. On a year-on-year basis, the decrease was primarily due tolower net foreign exchange-related losses, partially offset by higher interestexpenses. On a sequential basis, the decrease was primarily due to therecognition of income related to one of our investments and lower interestexpenses, partially offset by higher net foreign exchange-related losses. At the end of the fourth quarter 2013, Nokia's continuing operations in Finlandhad approximately EUR 2.2 billion (calculated at the Finnish corporate tax rateof 20%) of net deferred tax assets that have not been recognized in thefinancial statements as the net deferred tax assets were subject to a valuationallowance. The majority of Nokia's Finnish deferred tax assets are indefinitein nature and available against future Finnish tax income. Given the likelyimpact of the expected transaction and related licensing agreements withMicrosoft on the continuing Nokia businesses as well as the recent financialperformance of NSN, the company will continue closely monitoring the need forthe valuation allowance. NOKIA SOLUTIONS AND NETWORKS The following table sets forth a summary of the results for NSN and itsreportable segments, Mobile Broadband and Global Services, for the periodsindicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequential growth rates.

Excluding these two factors, NSN net sales in the fourth quarter2013 declined by approximately 15% primarily due to reduced wirelessinfrastructure deployment activity, which affected both Global Services andMobile Broadband. Additionally, NSN net sales were negatively affected byforeign currency fluctuations. The year-on-year decrease in Mobile Broadbandwas primarily due to lower sales in GSM and core networks, which were partiallyoffset by an increase in LTE sales primarily in Greater China, Europe andAsia-Pacific excluding Japan. The year-on-year decrease in Global Services wasprimarily due to a reduction in network implementation activity, consistentwith lower levels of large scale Mobile Broadband deployments, and the exitingof certain contracts in line with NSN's strategic focus. On a regional basis,NSN continued to have lower net sales in Japan following high levels ofspending in the fourth quarter 2012. In Europe, the year-on-year sales declinewas primarily related to network modernization and divestments in line withNSN's strategy. The year-on-year sales decline in Latin America was primarilydriven by constrained operator spending and certain contract exits. Finally,the year-on-year decline in Middle East and Africa was primarily due to countryexits. The sequential increase of 20% in NSN net sales in the fourth quarter 2013reflects a seasonal increase in sales in both Mobile Broadband and GlobalServices. The increase in Mobile Broadband net sales was driven by growthacross our radio access portfolio. The increase in Global Services was drivenby growth in all business lines. On a regional basis, NSN's net sales increasedsequentially primarily due to Greater China, Middle East & Africa and AsiaPacific, partially offset by lower sales in North America. In the fourth quarter 2013, Global Services represented 50% of NSN net sales,compared to 50% in the fourth quarter 2012 and 51% in the third quarter 2013.In the fourth quarter 2013, Mobile Broadband represented 50% of NSN net sales,compared to 45% in the fourth quarter 2012 and 49% in the third quarter 2013. At constant currency, NSN net sales would have decreased 19% year-on-year andincreased 20% sequentially. Non-IFRS Gross MarginOn a year-on-year basis, the increase in NSN non-IFRS gross margin in thefourth quarter 2013 was due to a higher gross margin in Global Services relatedto significant efficiency improvements as a result of NSN's restructuringprogram, as well as a higher proportion of Mobile Broadband in the overallsales mix. This was partially offset by a slightly lower gross margin in MobileBroadband driven by lower net sales in Japan and North America and costsincurred in anticipation of a technology shift to TD-LTE related to majorprojects in China, as well as the absence of non-recurring IPR income whichbenefitted the fourth quarter 2012 by approximately EUR 30 million. On a sequential basis, the increase in NSN non-IFRS gross margin in the fourthquarter 2013 was primarily due to a higher gross margin in Global Servicesoffset by a lower gross margin in Mobile Broadband. The higher gross margin inGlobal Services was primarily driven by seasonally higher networkimplementation activities. The gross margin decline in Mobile Broadband wasprimarily due to lower net sales in North America. Non-IFRS Operating ExpensesNSN non-IFRS research and development expenses decreased 10% year-on-year inthe fourth quarter 2013. On a year-on-year basis, non-IFRS research anddevelopment expenses were lower primarily due to business divestments andreduced investments in business activities that are not consistent with NSN'sfocused strategy, as well as increased research and development efficiency,partially offset by higher investments in areas that are consistent with NSN'sfocused strategy, most notably LTE. On a sequential basis, non-IFRS researchand development expenses increased 3% primarily due to higher accrued incentiveexpenses consistent with NSN's business performance in the fourth quarter 2013. On a year-on-year basis, NSN non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses decreased16% primarily due to structural cost savings from NSN's transformation andrestructuring program. On a sequential basis NSN's non-IFRS sales and marketingexpenses increased 9% consistent with seasonally higher net sales and due tohigher accrued incentive expenses consistent with NSN's business performance inthe fourth quarter 2013. NSN non-IFRS general and administrative expenses increased 15% year-on-year and9% sequentially in the fourth quarter 2013. On a year-on-year basis, non-IFRSgeneral and administrative expenses were higher, primarily due to consultancyfees related to information technology and other projects. On a sequentialbasis non-IFRS general and administrative expenses were higher due to higheraccrued incentive expenses consistent with NSN's business performance in thefourth quarter 2013. Non-IFRS Operating MarginThe year-on-year decrease in NSN non-IFRS operating margin in the fourthquarter 2013 was primarily due to a lower contribution margin in MobileBroadband, partially offset by a higher contribution margin in Global Services. On a year-on-year basis, the 9.3 percentage point decline in Mobile Broadbandcontribution margin was primarily due to higher operating expenses as apercentage of net sales and, to a lesser extent, by slightly lower grossmargin. The year-on-year 3.5 percentage point increase in Global Servicescontribution margin was primarily due to higher gross margin, partially offsetby higher operating expenses as a percentage of net sales. On a sequential basis, NSN non-IFRS operating margin increased due to highercontribution margin for both Global Services and Mobile Broadband, whichincreased by 2.9 and 2.6 percentage points, respectively. The sequentialincrease in Global Services contribution margin was primarily due to highergross margin partially offset by higher operating expenses as a percentage ofnet sales. The sequential increase in Mobile Broadband contribution margin wasprimarily due to lower operating expenses as a percentage of net salespartially offset by a lower gross margin. NSN non-IFRS other income and expenses for the fourth quarter 2013 was anexpense of EUR 50 million, compared to an expense of EUR 16 million in thefourth quarter 2012, and income of EUR 1 million in the third quarter 2013. Ona year-on-year basis, the change in non-IFRS other income and expenses wasprimarily due to a non-recurring litigation provision and a write down of a VATreceivable. In addition to these items the sequential increase was alsonegatively affected by an increase in doubtful account allowances and assetretirement charges that are recurring in nature, but were at an elevated levelin the fourth quarter 2013. Operating MarginThe year-on-year increase in NSN operating margin in the fourth quarter 2013was primarily due to a higher gross margin. NSN's operating expenses alsodeclined as a result of the absence of purchase price accounting-related itemsarising from the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks, which had been fullyamortized as of the end of the first quarter 2013. NSN's other income andexpenses was an expense of EUR 145 million in the fourth quarter 2013, comparedto an expense of EUR 274 million in the fourth quarter 2012. The decline inNSN's other income and expenses was primarily due to lower restructuringcharges. On a sequential basis NSN operating margin increased primarily due to highergross margin, and to a lesser extent from lower operating expenses as apercentage of net sales. NSN's other income and expense was an expense of EUR145 million in the fourth quarter 2013, compared to an expense of EUR 38million in the third quarter 2013. The increase in NSN's other income andexpenses was primarily due to higher restructuring charges and due to anon-recurring litigation provision and a write down of a VAT receivable. Inaddition to these items the sequential increase was also negatively affected byan increase in doubtful account allowances and asset retirement charges thatare recurring in nature, but were at an elevated level in the fourth quarter2013. Global Restructuring ProgramThe following table sets forth a summary of NSN cost reduction activities andplanned operational adjustments under the global restructuring programannounced in November 2011. NSN RESTRUCTURING SUMMARY (Program announced in November 2011) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EUR (million) Q4/2013 Cumulativ 2013 2014 Total (approxima e up (approxima (approxim (approxi- te) to te) ate mate Q4/2013 estimate) estimate) (approxim ate) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Restructuring-related 94 1 850 550 100 1 950 charges --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Restructuring-related 150 1 250 600 450 1 700 cash outflows -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NSN achieved a reduction in its non-IFRS annualized operating expenses andproduction overheads by more than EUR 1.5 billion at the end of 2013, comparedto the end of 2011. In conjunction with this restructuring program, NSNestimates total restructuring related charges of approximately EUR 1.95billion, as well as total restructuring related cash outflows of approximatelyEUR 1.7 billion. This is an update to the earlier estimate of approximately EUR1.8 billion for restructuring related charges and approximately EUR 1.6 billionfor restructuring related cash outflows. Non-cash charges and timing differences account for the differences between theabove charges and the corresponding cash out-flows. Changes in estimates oftiming or amounts of costs to be incurred and associated cash flows may becomenecessary as the transformation and restructuring program is being completed. HERE The following table sets forth a summary of the results for HERE for theperiods indicated, as well as the year-on-year and sequential growth rates.

In the fourth quarter 2013, the sequential increase in external HERE net saleswas primarily due to higher seasonal sales to vehicle and PND customers. In the fourth quarter 2013, HERE had sales of new vehicle licenses of 3.2million units, compared to 2.4 million units in the fourth quarter 2012 and 2.6million units in the third quarter 2013. On a year-on-year basis, unit sales tovehicle customers increased primarily due to higher vehicle sales and higherconsumer uptake of in-vehicle navigation. On a sequential basis unit sales tovehicle customers increased primarily due to higher consumer uptake ofin-vehicle navigation. Sales to vehicle customers represented well over 50% ofexternal HERE net sales in the fourth quarter 2013, as well as in the fourthquarter 2012 and the third quarter 2013. In the fourth quarter 2013, the year-on-year and sequential declines ininternal HERE net sales were primarily due to lower recognition of deferredrevenue related to our smartphone sales. At constant currency HERE's overall net sales would have decreased 8%year-on-year and increased 21% sequentially. Non-IFRS Gross MarginOn a year-on-year basis, the decrease in HERE non-IFRS gross margin in thefourth quarter 2013 was primarily due to a non-recurring licensing expense, aswell as higher sales of update units to vehicle customers, which generallycarry a lower gross margin, partially offset by lower costs related to servicedelivery. On a sequential basis, the decrease in HERE non-IFRS gross margin in the fourthquarter 2013 was primarily due to a non-recurring licensing expense, as well ashigher sales of update units to vehicle customers, which generally carry alower gross margin and higher costs related to service delivery. Non-IFRS Operating ExpensesHERE non-IFRS research and development expenses decreased 12% year-on-year dueto cost reduction actions. On a sequential basis, research and developmentexpenses increased 4% in the fourth quarter 2013 primarily due to higherinvestments with the aim of capturing longer term transformational growthopportunities. HERE non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses decreased 9% year-on-year due tocost reduction actions. On a sequential basis, sales and marketing expensesincreased 25% in the fourth quarter 2013, primarily due to higher seasonalmarketing expenses. HERE non-IFRS general and administrative expenses decreased 11% year-on-yearprimarily due to cost reduction actions. On a sequential basis, general andadministrative expenses increased 21% in the fourth quarter 2013 primarily dueto higher personnel costs. Non-IFRS Operating MarginThe year-on-year decrease in HERE non-IFRS operating margin in the fourthquarter 2013 was primarily due to lower internal net sales. On a sequential basis, HERE's non-IFRS operating margin in the fourth quarter2013 benefitted from lower operating expenses as a percentage of net sales,which was offset by a lower gross margin. HERE non-IFRS other income and expenses for the fourth quarter 2013 wasapproximately zero, an expense of EUR 1 million in the third quarter and anincome of EUR 1 million in the fourth quarter 2012. Operating MarginIn the fourth quarter 2013, HERE operating margin improved to 7.1%, compared tonegative 20.1% in the fourth quarter 2012, and 6.6% in the third quarter 2013.The year-on-year improvement in HERE operating margin in the fourth quarter2013 was primarily due to the absence of significant purchase priceaccounting-related items arising from the purchase of NAVTEQ, the vast majorityof which had been fully amortized as of the end of the second quarter 2013. Ona sequential basis the improvement in HERE operating margin was primarily dueto lower operating expenses as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by alower gross margin. HERE other income and expenses for the fourth quarter 2013 was an expense ofEUR 4 million, an expense of EUR 4 million in the third quarter of 2013 and anexpense of EUR 8 million in the fourth quarter 2012.

Note that these results were negatively affected byapproximately EUR 50 million of net allowances related to excess componentinventory, future purchase commitments and an inventory revaluation. FOURTH QUARTER 2013 OPERATING HIGHLIGHTSOperating highlights for previous quarters are available in the respectiveinterim reports and for the full year 2013 later in this report. NOKIA - Nokia's Extraordinary General Meeting held on November 19, 2013 confirmed andapproved the sale of substantially all of Nokia's Devices & Services businessto Microsoft in line with the proposal and recommendation of the Nokia Board ofDirectors. More than 99 % of the votes cast at the Extraordinary GeneralMeeting were in favor of this proposal. - Following the announcement of shareholder approval for the sale ofsubstantially all of the Devices & Services business to Microsoft, Nokiaannounced on November 20, 2013 that it would relocate its headquarters to theKaraportti office campus in Espoo, Finland, where its wholly-owned subsidiaryNSN is also headquartered. The office building in Keilaniemi, where Nokia waspreviously headquartered, is to become a Microsoft site after the expectedclosing of the deal. - Nokia received a ruling from the Delhi High Court in December for the releaseof its Indian assets, including the Chennai factory, which had been frozen bythe Indian tax authorities related to a tax dispute that started in early 2013.While the tax dispute is still ongoing, the ruling allows Nokia to proceed withthe planned transfer of its Indian assets to Microsoft as part of the globaltransaction. NSN - NSN's strong mobile broadband deal momentum continued. During the quarter NSNwas granted a contract with Sprint in the United States for the deployment ofits TD- LTE network; was awarded the largest market share of non-Chinesenetwork suppliers of China Mobile's nationwide TD-LTE network; won an LTEcontract with China Telecommunications Corporation as major partner for itsnationwide LTE rollout; won Taiwan's first LTE tender for Chunghwa Telecom, thelargest operator in Taiwan with over 10 million mobile subscribers; and wasselected by Oi Brasil to supply its LTE network and to upgrade its GSM and 3Gnetworks. NSN was also selected as the key supplier for Ooredoo's nationwide 3Gservices launch in Myanmar, the supplier of location-based services for NTTDoCoMo; the supplier of Single RAN for Vodacom Tanzania; and of a networksecurity solution for E-Plus in Germany. - NSN continues to lead in 4G technology, introducing new (FlexiZone) microcelland picocell base stations that are the industry's only small cell solutionwith the same features and capacity as macro base stations and that have theunique ability to become a FlexiZone which overcomes the limitations on howmany small cells can be added within a macro cell coverage; launching apowerful TD-LTE Base Station radio module and enhancing its Radio Base StationSmart Scheduler to deliver even higher uplink data rates and cell capacity; andenhancing its Telephony Application Server solution with full VoLTEfunctionality. In December, the Singapore-based operator StarHub successfullycompleted Southeast Asia's first 3GPP standard Voice over LTE call in a livenetwork on NSN's equipment. - NSN made proof of concept projects and trials with Tier 1 operators on corenetwork virtualization and successfully demonstrated its telco cloudcapabilities in a joint proof-of-concept for Evolved Packet Core (EPC)virtualization with SK Telecom, the leading operator in Korea. - In December, NSN demonstrated its advanced mobile broadband solutions at theZain Technology Conference (ZTC): Liquid Applications, Active Antenna Systems,Voice over LTE (VoLTE), Congestion Aware Packet Core, CEM, NetAct, ServiceQuality Manager (SQM), Operations on Demand, and intelligent Self-OrganizingNetworks (iSON). - NSN continues to invest in innovation to stay at the forefront of mobilebroadband and announced research co-operation with China Mobile ResearchInstitute, the research and development branch of China Mobile: the two partieswill further their cooperation on research and standardization of advancedmobile broadband technologies in LTE, as well as in 5G.

NOKIA'S CONTINUING OPERATIONS FULL YEAR 2013 The following discussion is of Nokia's continuing operations reported resultsfor full year 2013. Comparisons are given to full year 2012 results, unlessotherwise indicated. See note 3 to our Summary Financial Information tableabove concerning our current operational and reporting structure and note 4concerning certain changes to historical comparative financials due to arevised IFRS accounting standard, IAS19 Employee Benefits. The following table sets forth a summary of the reported results for theperiods indicated, as well as the year-on-year growth rates.

The decline in NSN net sales was partiallydue to divestments of businesses not consistent with its strategic focus, aswell as the exiting of certain customer contracts and countries. Excludingthese two factors, NSN net sales in 2013 declined by approximately 13%primarily due to reduced wireless infrastructure deployment activity, whichaffected both Global Services and Mobile Broadband. The decline in HERE netsales was primarily due to a decline in internal HERE net sales due to lowerrecognition of deferred revenue related to our smartphone sales, partiallyoffset by an increase in external HERE net sales due to higher sales to vehiclecustomers. Additionally, NSN and HERE net sales were negatively affected byforeign currency fluctuations. The increase in Nokia's continuing operations gross margin in 2013 wasprimarily due to a higher NSN gross margin. NSN gross margin increased due tohigher gross margin in both Global Services and Mobile Broadband related tosignificant efficiency improvements as a result of NSN's restructuring program,as well as a higher proportion of Mobile Broadband within the total sales mix. The decrease in Nokia's continuing operations operating expenses in 2013 wasprimarily due to lower NSN and HERE operating expenses. The decline in NSN'soperating expenses was primarily due the absence of purchase priceaccounting-related items arising from the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks,which had been fully amortized as of the end of the first quarter 2013. Inaddition, NSN benefitted from business divestments and reduced operatingexpenses in business activities that are not consistent with NSN's focusedstrategy, as well as increased research and development efficiency, partiallyoffset by higher investments in areas that are consistent with NSN's focusedstrategy, most notably LTE. Other income and expenses in 2013 was asignificantly lower expense than in 2012 due to lower restructuring andassociated charges. Nokia's continuing operations net financial income and expense in 2013 was alower expense than in 2012. The lower net expense was primarily due to lowernet foreign exchange-related losses, partially offset by higher interestexpenses. Nokia's continuing operations tax expense in 2013 was lower than in 2012. Thelower tax expense was primarily due to the absence of a non-cash valuationallowance of EUR 135 million related to NSN's deferred tax assets in the firstquarter 2012. Nokia's continuing operations produced a net profit in 2013 compared to a lossin 2012. The net profit improvement was primarily due to lower operatingexpenses and lower other expenses.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS FULL YEAR 2013 The following discussion is of discontinued operations reported results forfull year 2013. Comparisons are given to full year 2012 results, unlessotherwise indicated. See note 3 to our Summary Financial Information tableabove concerning our current operational and reporting structure and note 4concerning certain changes to historical comparative financials due to arevised IFRS accounting standard, IAS19 Employee Benefits. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS RESULTS SUMMARY ------------------------------------------------- 2013 2012 YoY Change------------------------------------------------Net sales 10 735 15 152 -29%(EUR million) ------------------------------------------------Gross margin (%) 20.6% 18.7% ------------------------------------------------Operating expenses 2 685 3 796 -29%(EUR million) ------------------------------------------------Operating margin (%) -5.5% -9.8% ------------------------------------------------Net cash from -1 081 -2 284 operating activities ------------------------------------------------ The decline in discontinued operations net sales in 2013 was primarily due tolower Mobile Phones net sales and, to a lesser extent, lower Smart Devices netsales. The decline in Mobile Phones net sales was due to lower volumes andASPs, affected by competitive industry dynamics, including intense smartphonecompetition at increasingly lower price points and intense competition at thelow end of our product portfolio. The decline in Smart Devices net sales wasdue to lower volumes, affected by competitive industry dynamics including thestrong momentum of competing smartphone platforms, as well as our portfoliotransition from Symbian products to Lumia products. The increase in discontinued operations gross margin in 2013 was primarily dueto a higher Smart Devices gross margin, partially offset by slightly lowerMobile Phones gross margin. The increase in Smart Devices gross margin wasprimarily due to lower inventory related allowances, which negatively affectedSmart Devices gross margin in 2012. The decrease in discontinued operations operating expenses in 2013 was due tolower Mobile Phones and Smart Devices operating expenses, primarily due tostructural cost savings, as well as overall cost controls. The discontinued operations net financial income and expense in 2013 was alower income than in 2012. The lower net income was primarily due to lower netforeign exchange-related gains. The discontinued operations tax expense in 2013 was significantly lower than in2012. The lower tax expense was primarily due to the absence of a non-cashvaluation allowance of EUR 800 million related to Finnish deferred tax assetsin the second quarter 2012. The discontinued operations loss in 2013 was a smaller loss primarily due tolower tax expense and lower operating losses. In 2013, discontinued operations had cash outflows of approximately EUR 1.2billion. This was primarily driven approximately EUR 1.1 billion of net cashoutflows from operating activities and EUR 130 million of net cash outflowsfrom investing activities.
