Joint initiatives
Open Mobile Alliance
As the mobile industry evolves into new applications and services, cooperation among industry players has intensified, facilitating the faster
adoption of mobile services as well as market growth for the entire mobile
industry. Nokia, an active promoter of the Open Mobile Architecture
initiative, launched in November 2001, was a founding member of the
Open Mobile Alliance, which naturally evolved from this. Since its inception
in June 2002, the Open Mobile Alliance has rapidly expanded from
around 180 members to include more than 300 companies, representing
leading mobile operators, device and network suppliers, IT companies
and content providers.
People
The average number of personnel for 2002 was 52 714 (57 716 for 2001).
At the end of 2002, Nokia employed 51 748 people worldwide (53 849 at

employees (decrease of 6 440 in 2001).
Employee Value Proposition
In a move to further attract, engage and retain a skilled workforce, Nokia
this year developed an employee value proposition framework. The
adaptation and implementation of this has already started at country
levels to reflect and respond to local employee needs and expectations.
The four fundamentals of the proposition are (1)the Nokia Way and
Values, (2) performance-based rewarding, (3) professional and personal
growth, and (4) work-life balance.
Global reach
In 2002, Europe accounted for 54% of Nokia’s net sales (49% in 2001), the
Americas 22% (25%) and Asia-Pacific 24% (26%). The 10 largest markets
were US, UK, China, Germany, Italy, France, UAE, Thailand, Brazil and Poland,
together representing 60% of total sales.
Corporate responsibility
During 2002, Nokia made clear progress in the area of corporate responsibility. Developments included the expansion of our global community
involvement program (Make a Connection) to 12 countries, reaching over
one million people; the introduction of a company-wide diversity program

Nokia Mobile Phones in 2002
Nokia Mobile Phones continued to renew its industry-leading product
line-up, launching a record 34 new products during 2002, incorporating
color, imaging, multimedia, mobile games and polyphonic ring tones. Of
the total new phones launched, 14had color screens and multimedia
capability. This attests to the growing share of feature-rich phones offering
advanced mobile services in the company’s product portfolio.
During the year, Nokia launched its first WCDMAmobile phone, the
Nokia 6650, which began deliveries to operators for testing in October
2002. The company also commenced shipments of its first CDMA2000 1X
mobile phones in the Americas. These included the Nokia 6370, the Nokia
6385, the Nokia 3585, and the Nokia 8280.
In imaging, Nokia began shipping its iconic camera phone, the Nokia
7650, expanding the scope of the mobile market from voice to visual com-
munications. Feedback from customers and users across the board has
been extremely positive.
In the enterprise segment, the company expanded its product offering
from the Nokia Communicator 9200series to include the Nokia 6800
messaging device, with full QWERTY keypad optimized for personal and
enterprise mobile e-mail.
In entertainment, Nokia announced it would bring mobility to gaming
by offering console quality games for its new mobile game deck device
category. Under a collaboration agreement with world leading games
publisher, Sega, the two companies will develop games for the new
Nokia N-Gage™ mobile game deck, which will run on the Nokia Series 60
platform and the Symbian operating system.
For the full year 2002, Nokia volumes reached a record level of 152
million units, representing faster than market growth of 9%, compared
with 2001. Backed by Nokia’s ongoing product leadership and user brand
preference, Nokia has again increased its market share for the fifth
consecutive year reaching about 38% for the full year 2002, bringing the
company closer to its target of 40%.
During the year, Nokia Mobile Phones took steps to accelerate growth
and enhance both agility and scale benefits with the introduction of a
new operational structure. From May 1, nine new business units were
each made responsible for product and business development within a
defined market segment. This allowed Nokia to optimize its activities in
these vertically-focused areas, while continuing to achieve broad economies
of scale from horizontal functions such as application software development and the company’s market-leading demand-supply network.
Nokia Networks in 2002
During the year, Nokia Networks signed 20 GSM network deals in Asia,
China, Europe and the US, including three new customers.
Mobile Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS) became a reality in 2002,
with its rapid implementation into most GSMoperator networks. By yearend, Nokia Networks had delivered MMS solutions to well over 40 operators.
WCDMA 3G technology implementation moved to pre-commercial and
commercial phase towards the end of 2002. Nokia signed 10 new 3G deals
in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Japan, the UKand Taiwan. In September, Nokia became the first vendor to commence volume deliveries of
EDGE hardware across all major GSM bands and in all continents.
In broadband access, Nokia signed nine new contracts in 2002, and
launched the Nokia D500 next generation multiservice broadband access
platform for the US and ETSI markets.

Review by the Board of Directors
The company also further strengthened its GSM/EDGE/WCDMA product
family with several new products and solutions. Key launches included a
high-availability server platform for use in All-IPmobility networks, and
the Nokia LTX , a linear transceiver product family of base station modules
that support the definition of Open IP Base Station Architecture.
During the year, Nokia took measures to align its operations to better
reflect current market capacity and conditions, reducing the number of
employees in its delivery and maintenance services as well as in production.
Nokia also streamlined its professional mobile radio unit to reflect the
slower than expected take-off of this market.
Nokia Ventures Organization in 2002
Despite overall flat ITspending and slow growth in the corporate network
security market throughout 2002, Nokia Internet Communications maintained the same level of sales and market share in the enterprise
firewall/VPN appliance segment as the previous year, as well as significantly improving its operational efficiency.
Highlights for the year include the introduction of a record number of
new products and solutions that both expand Nokia’s network security
appliance portfolio and respond to emerging market opportunities.
Extending mobility to enterprise workforces, protecting corporate e-mail
content and providing firewall/VPN benefits to remote offices were
promising growth areas addressed with new product offerings from
Nokia. To help foster the creation of new security applications to complement Nokia’s own solutions, the Nokia Security Developers Alliance was
launched in July. Looking forward to 2003, Nokia Internet Communications
remains committed to building a leading position in the corporate
network security market and extending mobility to enterprises.
For Nokia Home Communications, sales in 2002clearly declined as
the unit began a migration towards emerging horizontal markets with
the launch of new types of terminals focused on horizontal terrestrial
and satellite markets, providing digital viewers access to a broad range
of digital services. Products, such as the Nokia Mediamaster 230 S, introduced Bluetooth-enabled interoperability to the home environment in
the second half of the year.
Outlook
Nokia’s objective is to take and maintain a leading role in creating
communications products and services that enrich the daily lives of
people and enable enterprises to prosper. The company strives to keep a
clear focus on human needs, managing risks and building reputation,
integrating all stakeholder expectations into its business decision making.
In 2002, Nokia confirmed its ability to perform well in a challenging
environment, translating core strengths of leading brand, excellence in
execution and continuous product renewal into strong profitability. Going
into 2003, the company expects market conditions to remain challenging,
but will continue to build on Nokia’s industry-leading position, seeking
to achieve high profitability as well as to grow market share in its two
main businesses.
As market leader and a global company, Nokia takes its responsibilities
seriously. Sound company ethics makes business sense by helping minimize risk, ensuring legal compliance, and building reputation amongst
stakeholders. By conducting business in a responsible way, Nokia can
make a significant contribution to sustainable development, at the same
time building a strong foundation for economic growth.
Dividend
Nokia’s Board of Directors will propose a dividend of EUR 0.28 per share
in respect of 2002.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. Accounting principles
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Nokia Corporation (“Nokia” or
“the Group”), a Finnish limited liability company with domicile in Helsinki, are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards
(IAS). The consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of
euros (EURm) and are prepared under the historical cost convention
except as disclosed in the accounting policies below. The notes to the consolidated financial statements also conform with Finnish Accounting
legislation.
In 2001 the Group adopted IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition
and Measurement (IAS 39). The effects of adopting the standard are summarized in the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity,
and further information is disclosed in the accounting policies, Fair
Valuing Principles and Hedge Accounting and in Notes 15, 20 and 34. In
accordance with IAS 39, the comparative financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2000 have not been restated.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nokia’s
parent company (“Parent Company”), and each of those companies in
which it either owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, over
50% of the voting rights, or over which it has control of their operating
and financial policies. The Group’s share of profits and losses of associated
companies (generally 20% to 50% voting rights or over which the Group
has significant influence) is included in the consolidated profit and loss
account in accordance with the equity method of accounting.
All inter-company transactions are eliminated as part of the consolidation process. Minority interests are presented separately in arriving at
the net profit. They are also shown separately from shareholders’ equity
and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
Profits realized in connection with the sale of fixed assets between
the Group and associated companies are eliminated in proportion to
share ownership. Such profits are deducted from the Group’s equity and
fixed assets and released in the Group accounts over the same period as
depreciation is charged.
The companies acquired during the financial periods presented have
been consolidated from the date on which control of the net assets and
operations was transferred to the Group. Similarly the result of a Group
company divested during an accounting period is included in the Group
accounts only to the date of disposal.
Goodwill
Acquisitions of companies are accounted for using the purchase method
of accounting. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase cost over
the fair value of assets less liabilities of acquired companies. Goodwill is
amortized on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life. Useful
lives vary between two and five years depending upon the nature of the
acquisition. Expected useful lives are reviewed at each balance sheet
date and, where these differ significantly from previous estimates,
amortization periods are changed accordingly.
The Group assesses the carrying value of goodwill annually or, more
frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying value may not be recoverable. If such indication exists the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit, to which goodwill
belongs. This amount is then compared to the carrying amount of the
cash-generating unit and any impairment loss is recognized if the
recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount. Impairment losses
are recognized immediately in the profit and loss account.
Transactions in foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rates of exchange
prevailing at the dates of the individual transactions. For practical reasons,
a rate that approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction is
often used. At the end of the accounting period the unsettled balances on
foreign currency receivables and liabilities are valued at the rates of
exchange prevailing at the year-end. Foreign exchange gains and losses
related to normal business operations are treated as adjustments to
sales or to cost of sales. Foreign exchange gains and losses associated
with financing are included as a net amount under financial income and
expenses.
Foreign Group companies
In the consolidated accounts all items in the profit and loss accounts of
foreign subsidiaries are translated into euro at the average exchange
rates for the accounting period. The balance sheets of foreign Group companies are translated into euro at the rates of exchange ruling at the
year-end with the exception of goodwill arising on the acquisition of a
foreign company which is translated to euro at historical rates. Differences
resulting from the translation of profit and loss account items at the
average rate and the balance sheet items at the closing rate are also
treated as an adjustment affecting consolidated shareholders’ equity. On
the disposal of all or part of a foreign Group company by sale, liquidation,
repayment of share capital or abandonment, the cumulative amount or
proportionate share of the translation difference is recognized as income
or as expense in the same period in which the gain or loss on disposal is
recognized.
Fair valuing principles
At January 1, 2001 the Group adopted IAS 39. The impact of adopting the
standard on shareholders’ equity is quantified in note 20. Under IAS 39,
the Group classifies its investments in marketable debt and equity securities and investments in unlisted equity securities into the following
categories: held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale depending on
the purpose for acquiring the investments. All investments of the Group
are currently classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale investments are fair valued by using quoted market rates, discounted cash
flow analyses and other appropriate valuation models at the balance
sheet date. Certain unlisted equities for which fair values cannot be measured reliably are reported at cost less impairment. All purchases and
sales of investments are recorded on the trade date, which is the date
Nokia in 2002 | 13
Page 14
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
The fair value changes of available-for-sale investments are recognized
in shareholders’ equity. When the investment is disposed of, the related
accumulated fair value changes are recycled from shareholders’ equity
into the profit and loss account. An impairment is recorded when the
carrying amount of an available for sale investment is greater than the
estimated fair value and there is objective evidence that the asset is
impaired. The cumulative net loss relating to that investment is removed
from equity and recognized in the profit and loss account for the period.
If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the investment increases and
the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the loss
was recognized, the loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal included in the profit and loss account.
Fair values of forward rate agreements, interest rate options and
futures contracts are calculated based on quoted market rates at the balance sheet date. Interest rate and currency swaps are valued by using
discounted cash flow analyses. The changes in the fair values of these
contracts are reported in the profit and loss account.
Fair values of cash settled equity derivatives are calculated by revaluing
the contract at year-end quoted market rates. Changes in the fair value
are reported in the profit and loss account.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued with the forward exchange rate. Changes in fair value are calculated by comparing this with
the original amount calculated by using the contract forward rate prevailing at the beginning of the contract. Currency options are valued at
the balance sheet date by using the Garman & Kohlhagen option valuation
model. Changes in the fair value on these instruments are reported in the
profit and loss account except to the extent they qualify for hedge
accounting.
Embedded derivatives are identified and monitored in the Group and
fair valued at the balance sheet date. In assessing the fair value of embedded derivatives the Group uses a variety of methods, such as option
pricing models and discounted cash flow analysis, and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet
date. The fair value changes are reported in financial income and expenses
in the profit and loss account.
Hedge accounting
Hedging of anticipated foreign currency
denominated sales and purchases
The Group is applying hedge accounting for “Qualifying hedges”. Qualifying
hedges are those properly documented cash flow hedges of the foreign
exchange rate risk of future anticipated foreign currency denominated
sales and purchases that meet the requirements set out in IAS 39. The
cash flow being hedged must be “highly probable” and must ultimately
impact the profit and loss account. The hedge must be highly effective
both prospectively and retrospectively.
The Group claims hedge accounting in respect of certain forward foreign
exchange contracts and options, or option strategies, which have zero
net premium or a net premium paid, and where the critical terms of the
bought and sold options within a collar or zero premium structure are
the same and where the nominal amount of the sold option component
is no greater than that of the bought option.
For qualifying foreign exchange forwards the change in fair value is
deferred in shareholders’ equity to the extent that the hedge is effective.
For qualifying foreign exchange options the change in intrinsic value is
deferred in shareholders’ equity to the extent that the hedge is effective.
Changes in the time value are at all times taken directly as adjustments
to sales or to cost of sales in the profit and loss account.
Accumulated fair value changes from qualifying hedges are released
from shareholders’ equity into the profit and loss account as adjustments to sales and cost of sales, in the period when the hedged cash flow
affects the profit and loss account. If the hedged cash flow is no longer
expected to take place, all deferred gains or losses are released into the
profit and loss account as adjustments to sales and cost of sales, immediately. If the hedged cash flow ceases to be highly probable, but is still
expected to take place, accumulated gains and losses remain in equity
until the hedged cash flow affects the profit and loss account.
Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments that do not
qualify under hedge accounting under IAS 39 are recognized immediately
in the profit and loss account.
Foreign currency hedging of net investments
The Group also applies hedge accounting for its foreign currency hedging
on net investments. Qualifying hedges are those properly documented
hedges of the foreign exchange rate risk of foreign currency-denominated
net investments that meet the requirements set out in IAS 39. The hedge
must be effective both prospectively and retrospectively.
The Group claims hedge accounting in respect of forward foreign exchange contracts, foreign currency-denominated loans, and options, or
option strategies, which have zero net premium or a net premium paid,
and where the terms of the bought and sold options within a collar or
zero premium structure are the same.
For qualifying foreign exchange forwards the change in fair value
that reflects the change in spot exchange rates is deferred in shareholders’
equity. The change in fair value that reflects the change in forward
exchange rates less the change in spot exchange rates is recognized in the
profit and loss account. For qualifying foreign exchange options the
change in intrinsic value is deferred in shareholders’ equity. Changes in
the time value are at all times taken directly to the profit and loss account.
If a foreign currency-denominated loan is used as a hedge, all foreign
exchange gains and losses arising from the transaction are recognized in
shareholders’ equity.
Accumulated fair value changes from qualifying hedges are released
from shareholders’ equity into the profit and loss account only if the legal
entity in the given country is sold or liquidated.
Revenue recognition
Sales from the majority of the Group are recognized when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed
and determinable and collectibility is probable.
Sales and cost of sales from contracts involving solutions achieved
through modification of telecommunications equipment are recognized
on the percentage of completion method when the outcome of the contract
can be estimated reliably. Completion is generally measured by reference
to cost incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total project costs.
The milestone output method is applied when the nature of the individual
projects indicates that a milestone method is the most applicable
measure of progress.
The percentage of completion method relies on estimates of total
14 | Nokia in 2002
Page 15
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
expected contract revenue and costs, as well as dependable measurement of the progress made towards completing that project. Recognized
revenues and profits are subject to revisions during the project in the
event that the assumptions regarding the overall project outcome are
revised. The cumulative impact of a revision in estimates is recorded in
the period such revisions become known and estimable. Losses on
projects in progress are recognized immediately when known and
estimable.
Shipping and handling costs
The costs of shipping and distributing products are included in cost of sales.
Research and development
Research and development costs are expensed in the financial period
during which they are incurred, except for certain development costs
which are capitalized when it is probable that a development project
will be a success, and certain criteria, including commercial and technological feasibility, have been met. Capitalized development costs are
amortized on a systematic basis over their expected useful lives between
two and five years.
Other intangible assets
Expenditure on acquired patents, trademarks and licenses is capitalized
and amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives, but
not exceeding 20 years. Where an indication of impairment exists, the
carrying amount of any intangible asset is assessed and written down to
its recoverable amount. Costs of software licenses associated with internaluse software are capitalized. These costs are included within other
intangible assets and are amortized over a period not to exceed three years.
Pensions
The Group companies have various pension schemes in accordance with
the local conditions and practices in the countries in which they operate.
The schemes are generally funded through payments to insurance companies or to trustee-administered funds as determined by periodic actuarial calculations.
The Group’s contributions to defined contribution plans and to multiemployer and insured plans are charged to the profit and loss account in
the period to which the contributions relate.
For defined benefit plans, principally the reserved portion of the
Finnish TEL system, pension costs are assessed using the projected unit
credit method: the cost of providing pensions is charged to the profit and
loss account so as to spread the regular cost over the service lives of
employees. The pension obligation is measured as the present value of
the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates on government
securities that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the
related liabilities. Actuarial gains and losses outside the corridor are
recognized over the average remaining service lives of employees.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the assets as follows:
Buildings and constructions20-33 years
Machinery and equipment3-10 years
Land and water areas are not depreciated.
Maintenance, repairs and renewals are generally charged to expense
during the financial period in which they are incurred. However, major
renovations are capitalized and included in the carrying amount of the
asset when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the
originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will
flow to the Group. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining
useful life of the related asset.
Gains and losses on the disposal of fixed assets are included in operating profit/loss.
Leases
The Group has entered into various operating leases the payments under
which are treated as rentals and charged to the profit and loss account
on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is
determined on a first in first out (FIFO)basis. Net realizable value is the
amount that can be realized from the sale of the inventory in the normal
course of business after allowing for the costs of realization.
In addition to the cost of materials and direct labor, an appropriate
proportion of production overheads is included in the inventory values.
An allowance is recorded for obsolescence.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Group manages its short-term liquidity through holdings of cash and
highly liquid interest-bearing securities (included as current availablefor-sale investments in the balance sheet). For the purposes of the cash
flow statement, these are shown together as cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at the original invoice amount to customers
less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a periodic
review of all outstanding amounts. Bad debts are written off when identified.
Borrowings
Borrowings are classified as originated loans and are recognized initially
at an amount equal to the proceeds received, net of transaction costs
incurred. In subsequent periods, they are stated at amortized cost using
the effective yield method; any difference between proceeds (net of
transaction costs)and the redemption value is recognized in the profit
and loss account over the period of the borrowings.
Loans to customers
Loans to customers are recorded at amortized cost. Loans are subject to
regular and thorough review as to their collectibility and as to available
collateral; in the event that any loan is deemed not fully recoverable, provision is made to reflect the shortfall between the carrying amount and
the present value of the expected cash flows. Interest income on loans to
customers is included within other operating income.
Nokia in 2002 | 15

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Income taxes
Current taxes are based on the results of the Group companies and are
calculated according to local tax rules.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined, using the liability
method, for all temporary differences arising between the tax basis of
assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting
purposes. Currently enacted tax rates are used in the determination of
deferred income tax.
Under this method the Group is required, in relation to an acquisition, to make provision for deferred taxes on the difference between the
fair values of the net assets acquired and their tax bases.
The principal temporary differences arise from intercompany profit
in inventory, depreciation on property, plant and equipment, untaxed
reserves and tax losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets relating to
the carry forward of unused tax losses are recognized to the extent that it
is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the
unused tax losses can be utilized.
Stock options
Stock options are granted to employees. The options are granted with a
fixed exercise price set on a date outlined in the plan. When the options
are exercised, the proceeds received, net of any transaction costs, are
credited to share capital (nominal value)and share premium. Tax benefits
on options exercised in the United States are credited to share issue
premium. Treasury shares are acquired by the Group to meet its obligations
under employee stock compensation plans. When treasury shares are
issued on exercise of stock options any gain or loss is recognized in share
issue premium.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow
of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate of the amount can be made. Where the Group expects a provision
to be reimbursed, the reimbursement would be recognized as an asset
but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.
The Group recognizes the estimated liability to repair or replace
products still under warranty at the balance sheet date. The provision is
calculated based on historical experience of the level of repairs and
replacements.
The Group recognizes the estimated liability for non-cancellable purchase commitments for inventory in excess of forecasted requirements
at each balance sheet date.
The Group recognizes a provision for the estimated future settlements related to asserted and unasserted Intellectual Property Rights
(IPR) infringements, based on the probable outcome of each case as of
each balance sheet date.
The Group recognizes a provision for social security costs on unexercised stock options granted to employees at the date options are granted.
The provision is measured based on the fair value of the options, and the
amount of the provision is adjusted to reflect the changes in the Nokia
share price.
Dividends
Dividends proposed by the Board of Directors are not recorded in the
financial statements until they have been approved by the shareholders
at the Annual General Meeting.
Earnings per share
The Group calculates both basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with IAS 33, Earnings per share (IAS 33). Under IAS 33, basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed
using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
period plus the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding during the
period.
2. Segment information
Nokia is organized on a worldwide basis into three primary business
segments: Nokia Mobile Phones, Nokia Networks, and Nokia Ventures
Organization. Nokia’s reportable segments are strategic business units
that offer different products and services for which monthly financial
information is provided to the Board.
Nokia Mobile Phones develops, manufactures and supplies mobile
phones and wireless data products, including a complete range of mobile
phones for all major digital and analog standards worldwide.
Nokia Networks is a leading provider of mobile and IPnetwork infrastructure and related services. Nokia Networks aims to be a leader in IP
mobility core, radio and broadband access for network providers and
operators.
Nokia Ventures Organization exists to create new businesses outside
the natural development path of the company’s core activities. The unit
comprises venture capital activities, incubation, and a portfolio of new
ventures, including two more mature businesses: Nokia Internet Communications and Nokia Home Communications.
Common Group Functions consists of common research and general
Group functions.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described
in Note 1. Nokia accounts for intersegment revenues and transfers as if
the revenues or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market
prices. Nokia evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates
resources to them based on operating profit.
No single customer represents 10% or more of Group revenues.

5. Pensions
The most significant pension plans are in Finland and are comprised of
the Finnish state TEL system with benefits directly linked to employee
earnings. These benefits are financed in two distinct portions. The
majority of benefits are financed by contributions to a central pool with
the majority of the contributions being used to pay current benefits. The
other part comprises reserved benefits which are pre-funded through
the trustee-administered Nokia Pension Foundation. The pooled portion
of the TELsystem is accounted for as a defined contribution plan and the
reserved portion as a defined benefit plan. The foreign plans include
both defined contribution and defined benefit plans.

During 2002, Nokia recorded net customer financing impairment charges
of EUR 279 million. Of this amount, EUR 292 million was an impairment
of loans receivable with a carrying value of approximately EUR 0.8 billion
from MobilCom, a customer of Nokia Networks, as a result of financial
difficulties of MobilCom. Such loans have been reduced to their estimated
recoverable amounts, based on the estimated fair value of the subordinated convertible perpetual bonds of France Telecom S.A., a shareholder
of MobilCom, that Nokia expects to receive as repayment for the loans to
MobilCom pursuant to an agreement with France Telecom. The estimated
fair value will be reassessed upon approval from the respective boards
and shareholders of MobilCom and France Telecom. Also in 2002, Nokia
received EUR 13 million as partial recovery of amounts written off in
2001 related to Dolphin.
During 2001, Nokia recorded an impairment charge of EUR 714 million
to cover Nokia Networks’ customer loans by EUR 669 million related to a
defaulted financing to Telsim, a GSMoperator in Turkey, and EUR 45 million
relating to the insolvency of Dolphin in the UK. These charges resulted in
a write-down of the company’s total customer financing exposure to
Telsim and Dolphin.
In 2002, Nokia has evaluated the carrying value of goodwill arising
from certain acquisitions by determining if the carrying values of the net
assets of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill belongs exceeds
the recoverable amounts of that unit. In the Nokia Networks business,
Nokia recorded an impairment charge of EUR 104 million on goodwill
related to the acquisition of Amber Networks. The recoverable amount
for Amber Networks has been derived from the value in use discounted
cash flow projections which cover the estimated life of the Amber platform
technology, using a discount rate of 15%. The remaining goodwill of EUR
207 million is being amortized over the expected useful life. The impairment
is a result of significant declines in the market outlook for products
under development. In the Nokia Networks business in 2001, Nokia recognized a goodwill impairment charge of EUR 170 million related to the
acquisition of Nokia DiscoveryCom, as a result of a decision to discontinue
the related product development.
In 2002 and 2001, Nokia recognized impairment losses of EUR 36 million
and EUR 88 million, respectively, on goodwill related to the acquisition of
Ramp Networks. In 2002 and 2001, Nokia recognized impairment losses
of EUR 25 and EUR 181 million, respectively, on goodwill related to the
acquisition of Network Alchemy. Both of these entities are part of the
Nokia Internet Communications business unit of Nokia Ventures Organization. For the impairments in 2001 the recoverable amounts were calculated based on value in use discounted cash flow projections using a discount rate of 13%. The impairments in 2001 resulted from the restructuring
of these businesses. In 2002, the remaining goodwill balances were written
off as a result of decisions to discontinue the related product development.
Nokia recognized other minor goodwill impairment charges totaling
EUR 17 million in 2002 (EUR 78 million in 2001).
During 2002 the company’s investments in certain equity securities
suffered a permanent decline in fair value resulting in impairment
charges of EUR 77 million relating to non-current available-for-sale
investments (EUR 80 million in 2001).
8. Acquisitions
In 2002, Nokia increased its voting percentage of 39.97% and holding per-
centage of 59.97% in Nextrom Holding S.A. to a voting percentage of
86.21% and a holding percentage of 79.33%. These increases resulted
from a rights offering by Nextrom in June 2002and by acquiring new
registered and bearer shares in an offering by Nextrom in December 2002
both totaling EUR 13 million. The fair value of net assets acquired was
EUR 4 million giving rise to goodwill of EUR 9 million.
In August 2001 Nokia acquired Amber Networks, a networking infra-
structure company, for EUR 408 million, which was paid in Nokia stock
and Nokia stock options. The fair value of net assets acquired was EUR
–13 million giving rise to goodwill of EUR 421 million.
In January 2001Nokia acquired in a cash tender offer Ramp Networks,
a provider of purpose built Internet security appliances, for EUR 147
million. The fair value of net assets acquired was EUR –16 million giving
rise to goodwill of EUR 163 million.
In October 2000 Nokia increased its ownership of the Brazilian handset
manufacturing joint venture NG Industrial (NGI) from 51% to 100% by
acquiring all the shares of NGI held by Gradiente Telecom S.A. for EUR 492

giving rise to goodwill of EUR 449 million.
In August 2000Nokia acquired DiscoveryCom, a company which
provides solutions that enable communications service providers to rapidly
install and maintain Broadband Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) services for
fast Internet access. The acquisition price was EUR 223 million, which
was paid in Nokia stock and Nokia stock options. The fair value of net
assets acquired was EUR –4 million giving rise to goodwill of EUR 227
million.
In March 2000Nokia acquired Network Alchemy, a provider of IP Clus-
tering solutions for EUR 336 million, which was paid in Nokia stock and
Nokia stock options. The fair value of net assets acquired was EUR –2
million giving rise to goodwill of EUR 338 million.

On the adoption of IAS 39 at January 1, 2001, all investment securities
classified as available-for-sale were remeasured to fair value. The difference between their original carrying amount and their fair value at
January 1, 2001 was credited to fair value and other reserves (See Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity). Gains and losses
arising from the change in the fair value of available-for-sale investments since that date are recognized directly in this reserve.
Available-for-sale investments, comprising marketable debt and equity securities and investments in unlisted equity shares, are fair valued,
except in the case of certain unlisted equities, where the fair value cannot be measured reliably. Such unlisted equities are carried at cost, less
impairment (EUR 48 million in 2002 and EUR 153 million in 2001). Fair
value for equity investments traded in active markets and for unlisted
equities, where the fair value can be measured reliably, is EUR 190 million in 2002 and EUR 169million in 2001. Fair value for equity investments traded in active markets is determined by using exchange quoted
bid prices. For other investments, fair value is estimated by using the
current market value of similar instruments or by reference to the discounted cash flows of the underlying net assets.
Available-for-sale investments are classified as non-current, except
for highly liquid, interest-bearing investments held as part of the Group’s
on-going cash management activities and which are regarded as cash
equivalents. See Note 34 for details of these investments.

The Group adopted IAS 39 at January 1, 2001; the impact on shareholders’
equity and on various balance sheet captions at January 1, 2001 is shown
above. In accordance with IAS 39, the comparative financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2000 are not restated.
In accordance with the transitional requirements of IAS 39, the Group
transferred a net loss of EUR 114 million to the hedging reserve in respect
of outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts that were properly
designated and highly effective as cash flow hedges of highly probable
forecast foreign currency cash flows. Previously such gains and losses
were reported as deferred income or expenses in the balance sheet.
In order to ensure that amounts deferred in the cash flow hedging
reserve represent only the effective portion of gains and losses on properly designated hedges of future transactions that remain highly probable at the balance sheet date, Nokia has adopted a process under which
all derivative gains and losses are initially recognized in the profit and

to occur. Because of the number of transactions undertaken during each
period and the process used to calculate the reserve balance, separate
disclosure of the transfers of gains and losses to and from the reserve
would be impractical.
All of the net fair value gains or losses recorded in the Fair value and
other reserve at December 31, 2002 on open forward foreign exchange
contracts which hedge anticipated future foreign currency sales or purchases are transferred from the Hedging Reserve to the profit and loss
account when the forecasted foreign currency cash flows occur, at various dates up to 1 year from the balance sheet date.

The long-term loan portfolio includes a fixed-rate loan with a face
amount of GBP 40 million that matures in 2004. The loan has been callable
by the creditor on a three-month notice basis since 1994, although the
Group does not anticipate that the creditor will request repayment prior to
the final maturity. Accordingly the loan has not been classified as a
current liability at December 31, 2002.
The Group has committed credit facilities totaling USD 2.6 billion.
Committed credit facilities are intended to be used for U.S. and Euro Commer-
cial Paper Programs back up purposes. Commitment fees on the facilities
vary from 0.06% to 0.10% per annum.
At December 31, 2002 and 2001 the weighted average interest rate on
loans from financial institutions was 8.44% and 6.0%, respectively.

The amounts above represent the maximum principal amount of commitments and contingencies.
Property under mortgages given as collateral for our own commitments include mortgages given to the Finnish National Board of Customs
as a general indemnity of EUR 18 million in 2002 (EUR 18 million in 2001).
Assets pledged for the Group’s own commitments include inventories
and available-for-sale investments of EUR 3 million and EUR 10 million,
respectively, in 2002 (EUR 4 million of inventories in 2001).
Other guarantees include guarantees of Nokia’s performance of EUR
332 million in 2002 (EUR 505 million in 2001). These guarantees are provided
to certain Nokia Networks’ customers in the form of bank guarantees,
standby letters of credit and other similar instruments. These instruments
entitle the customer to claim payment as compensation for nonperformance by Nokia of its obligations under network infrastructure
supply agreements. Depending on the nature of the instrument, compensation is payable either immediately upon request, or subject to
independent verification of nonperformance by Nokia.
Securities pledged and guarantees for loans on behalf of other companies of EUR 91 million in 2002 (EUR 127 million in 2001) represent guarantees relating to payment by certain Nokia Networks’ customers under
specified loan facilities between such customers and their creditors.
Nokia’s obligations under such guarantees are released upon the earlier
of expiration of the guarantee or early payment by the customer. The
majority of the financial guarantees is expected to expire by 2004.
Financing commitments of EUR 857 million in 2002 (EUR 2 955 million
in 2001) are available under loan facilities negotiated with customers of
Nokia Networks. Availability of the amounts is dependent upon the borrower’s continuing compliance with stated financial and operational
covenants and compliance with other administrative terms of the facility.
The loans are primarily available to fund capital expenditure
relating to purchases of network infrastructure equipment and services
from Nokia Networks, though some portion of certain loans could be
used to fund interest on the same facility, or working capital require-

ments. Certain loans are partially secured through either guarantees by
the borrower’s direct or indirect parent or other group companies, or
shares and/or other assets of the borrower, its parent or other entities
under common ownership.
There is no market for the guarantees listed above and they were issued
without explicit cost; therefore, it is not practicable to establish the fair
value of such instruments.
The Group is party to routine litigation incidental to the normal conduct
of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of and liabilities
in excess of what has been provided for related to these proceedings, in
the aggregate, are not likely to be material to the financial condition or
results of operations.
As of December 31, 2002, the Group had purchase commitments of
EUR 949 million relating to inventory purchase obligations, primarily for
purchases in 2003.
30. Leasing contracts
The Group leases office, manufacturing and warehouse space under various non-cancellable operating leases. Certain contracts contain renewal

31. Related party transactions
Nokia Pension Foundation is a separate legal entity that manages and
holds in trust the assets for the Group’s Finnish employee benefit plans;
these assets include 0.2% of Nokia’s shares. Nokia Pension Foundation is
also the counterparty to equity swap agreements with the Group. The
equity swaps are entered into to hedge part of the company’s liability
relating to future social security cost on stock options. During the year
new transactions are entered into and old ones terminated based on the
hedging need. The transactions and terminations are executed on standard
commercial terms and conditions. The notional amount of the equity
swaps outstanding at December 31, 2002 is EUR 12 million (EUR 182
million in 2001). The fair value of the equity swaps at December 31, 2002
is EUR 0 million (EUR 10 million in 2001).
At December 31, 2002 the Group has a contribution payment liability
to Nokia Pension Foundation amounting to EUR 14 million (EUR 21 million
in 2001) included in accrued expenses.
At December 31, 2002 the Group had borrowings amounting to EUR 66
million (EUR 66 million in 2001) from Nokia Unterstützungskasse mbH,
the Group’s German pension fund, which is a separate legal entity.

Nokia’s overall risk management philosophy is based on having a corporatewide view on key risks including strategic, operational, financial and
hazard risks. Risk management in Nokia means a systematic and proactive way to analyse, review and manage all opportunities, threats and
risks related to the Group’s activities.
The principles documented in the Group’s risk policy and accepted by
the Nokia Board require that risk management is integrated into each
business process. Business or function owners always have risk ownership. Key risks are reported to the Group level to enable group-wide risk
management. There are specific risk management policies covering, for
example, treasury and customer finance risks.
Financial risks
The key financial targets for Nokia are growth, profitability, operational
efficiency and a strong balance sheet. The objective for the Treasury
function is twofold: to guarantee cost-efficient funding for the Group at
all times, and to identify, evaluate and hedge financial risks in close
co-operation with the business groups. There is a strong focus in Nokia
on creating shareholder value. The Treasury function supports this aim
by minimizing the adverse effects caused by fluctuations in the financial
markets on the profitability of the underlying businesses and by managing
the balance sheet structure of the Group.
Nokia has Treasury Centers in Geneva, Singapore/Beijing and Dallas
/Sao Paolo, and a Corporate Treasury unit in Espoo. This international
organization enables Nokia to provide the Group companies with financial
services according to local needs and requirements.
The Treasury function is governed by policies approved by top management. Treasury Policy provides principles for overall financial risk
management and determines the allocation of responsibilities for financial
risk management in Nokia. Operating Policies cover specific areas such
as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, use of derivative financial
instruments, as well as liquidity and credit risk. The Treasury operating
policy in Nokia is risk averse. Business Groups have detailed Standard
Operating Procedures supplementing the Treasury policy in financial
risk management related issues.
Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
Nokia operates globally and is thus exposed to foreign exchange risk arising
from various currency combinations. Foreign currency denominated
assets and liabilities together with expected cash flows from highly probable
purchases and sales give rise to foreign exchange exposures. These transaction exposures are managed against various local currencies
because of Nokia’s substantial production and sales outside the Eurozone.
Due to the changes in the business environment, currency combinations
may also change within the financial year. The most significant noneuro sales currencies during the year were U.S. dollar (USD), British
pound Sterling (GBP)and Australian dollar (AUD). In general, the apprecia-
tion of the euro to other currencies has an adverse effect on Nokia’s sales
and operating profit in the medium to long term, while depreciation of
the euro has a positive effect. The only significant non-euro purchasing
currencies are Japanese yen (JPY) and U.S. dollar.

According to the foreign exchange policy guidelines of the Group, material
transaction foreign exchange exposures are hedged. Exposures are
mainly hedged with derivative financial instruments such as forward
foreign exchange contracts and foreign exchange options. The majority
of financial instruments hedging foreign exchange risk have a duration
of less than a year. The Group does not hedge forecasted foreign currency
cash flows beyond two years.
Nokia uses the Value-at-Risk (“VaR”)methodology to assess the foreign
exchange risk related to the Treasury management of the Group exposures. The VaR figure represents the potential losses for a portfolio
resulting from adverse changes in market factors using a specified time
period and confidence level based on historical data. To correctly take
into account the non-linear price function of certain derivative instruments, Nokia uses Monte Carlo simulation. Volatilities and correlations
are calculated from a one-year set of daily data. The VaR figures assume
that the forecasted cash flows materialize as expected. The VaR figures
for the Group transaction foreign exchange exposure, including hedging
transactions and Treasury exposures for netting and risk management
purposes, with a one-week horizon and 95% confidencial level, are shown
below.

Since Nokia has subsidiaries outside the Eurozone, the euro-denominated
value of the shareholder’s equity of Nokia is also exposed to fluctuations
in exchange rates. Equity changes caused by movements in foreign
exchange rates are shown as a translation difference in the Group
consolidation. Nokia uses, from time to time, foreign exchange contracts
and foreign currency denominated loans to hedge its equity exposure
arising from foreign net investments.
Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk either through market value
fluctuations of balance sheet items (i.e. price risk) or changes in interest
income or expenses (i.e. re-investment risk). Interest rate risk mainly
arises through interest-bearing liabilities and assets. Estimated future
changes in cash flows and balance sheet structure also expose the Group
to interest rate risk.
Group companies are responsible for managing their short-term
liquidity position, whereas the interest rate exposure of the Group is
monitored and managed in the Treasury. Due to the current balance
sheet structure of Nokia, emphasis is placed on managing the interest
rate risk of investments.
Nokia uses the VaR methdology to assess and measure the interest
rate risk in investment portfolio, which is benchmarked against a oneyear investment horizon. The VaR figure represents the potential losses
for a portfolio resulting from adverse changes in market factors using a
specified time period and confidence level based on historical data. For
interest rate risk VaR, Nokia uses variance-covariance methodology.
Volatilities and correlations are calculated from a one-year set of daily data.
The VaR-based interest rate risk figures for an investement portfolio
with a one-week horizon and 95% confidence level are shown below.
Nokia has certain strategic minority investments in publicly traded companies. These investments are classified as available-for-sale. The fair
value of the equity investments at December 31, 2002 was EUR 137 million
(EUR 169 million in 2001).
There are currently no outstanding derivative financial instruments
designated as hedges of these equity investments. The VaR figures for
equity investments shown below, have been calculated using the same
principles as for interest rate risk.

In addition to the listed equity holdings, Nokia invests in private equity
through Nokia Venture Funds. The fair value of these available-for-sale
equity investments at December 31, 2002 was 54 million U.S. dollars (130
million U.S. dollars in 2001). Nokia is exposed to equity price risk on
social security costs relating to stock option plans. Nokia hedges this risk
by entering into cash settled equity swap and option contracts.
Credit risk
Customer Finance Credit Risk
Network operators sometimes require their suppliers to arrange or
provide term financing in relation to infrastructure projects. Nokia has
maintained a financing policy aimed at close cooperation with banks,
financial institutions and Export Credit Agencies to support selected customers in their financing of infrastructure investments. Nokia actively
mitigates, market conditions permitting, this exposure by arrangements
Nokia in 2002 | 29

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
with these institutions and investors.
Credit risks related to customer financing are systematically
analyzed, monitored and managed by Nokia’s Customer Finance organization, reporting to the Chief Financial Officer. Credit risks are approved
and monitored by Nokia’s Credit Committee along principles defined in
the Company’s credit policy and according to the credit approval process.
The Credit Committee consists of the CFO, Group Controller, Head of Group
Treasury and Head of Nokia Customer Finance.
Nokia’s infrastructure business is concentrated amongst mobile,
wireless operators. The Customer Finance portfolio is substantially all in
this group. In keeping with the Group’s financing approach, the majority
of the credit risk is to i)established mobile network operators (“incumbents”)with an investment grade credit rating as determined by a major
credit rating agency or equivalent as determined by Nokia (“investment
grade”)or ii)operators supported by other investment grade telecom
operators through ownership stakes and various operational and technical
support (“sponsor”). However, there is no certainty that the current
sponsors will continue their involvement with the operators, and the
sponsors generally do not provide guarantees of the loan balances.
Nokia’s credit risk to start-up operators (“greenfield operators”) is substan-
tially all to operators with investment grade sponsors.
At the end of December 31, 2002 our long-term loans to customers, net
of allowances and write-offs, totaled EUR 1 056 million (EUR 1 128 million
in 2001), while financial guarantees given on behalf of third parties totaled EUR 91 million (EUR 127 million in 2001). In addition, we had financing
commitments totaling EUR 857 million (EUR 2 955 million in 2001). Total
customer financing (outstanding and committed)stood at EUR 2 004
million (EUR 4 210 million in 2001).
Nokia sees that the current industry environment does not require
material increases in customer financing. Our view is based on our
experiences in customer interface in 2002 and current competitive
environment in telecommunications industry in general. Customer
financing continues to be requested by operators, but to a lesser extent
and with lower importance than during the past years. In 2002 Nokia
reduced substantially its customer financing exposure.
The term customer financing portfolio at December 31, 2002 was:
Financial instruments contain an element of risk of the counterparties
being unable to meet their obligations. This risk is measured and monitored
by the Treasury function. The Group minimizes financial credit risk by
limiting its counterparties to a sufficient number of major banks and
financial institutions.
Direct credit risk represents the risk of loss resulting from counterparty default in relation to on-balance sheet products. The fixed income
and money market investment decisions are based on strict creditworthiness criteria. The outstanding investments are also constantly monitored by the Treasury. Nokia does not expect the counterparties to default given their high credit quality.
Available-for-sale investments are carried at fair value in 2002 and 2001.

Weighted average interest rate for Current available-for-sale investments was 3.54%
in 2002 and 3.97% in 2001.

Liquidity risk
Nokia guarantees a sufficient liquidity at all times by efficient cash management and by investing in liquid interest bearing securities. Due to the
dynamic nature of the underlying business Treasury also aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed and uncommitted
credit lines available. During the year Nokia renewed the maturing USD
750 million Revolving Credit Facility. The committed facilities at year end
totalled USD 2.6 billion.
The most significant existing funding programs include:
Revolving Credit Facility of USD 750 million, matures in 2003
Revolving Credit Facility of USD 500 million, matures in 2003
Revolving Credit Facility of USD 350 million, matures in 2004

Hazard risk
Nokia strives to ensure that all financial, reputation and other losses to
the Group and our customers are minimized through preventive risk
management measures or purchase of insurance. Insurance is purchased for risks which cannot be internally managed. Nokia’s Insurance
& Risk Finance function’s objective is to ensure that Group’s hazard risks,
whether related to physical assets (e.g. buildings)or intellectual assets
(e.g. Nokia brand) or potential liabilities (e.g. product liability) are opti-
mally insured.
Nokia purchases both annual insurance policies for specific risks and
multi-line multi-year insurance policies, where available. Nokia has concluded a Multi-Line Multi-Year Insurance covering a variety of the above
mentioned risks in order to decrease the likelihood of non-anticipated
sudden losses.

The Board of Directors had been authorized by Nokia shareholders at the
Annual General Meeting held on March 21, 2001 to decide on an increase
of the share capital by a maximum of EUR 54 000 000 offering a maximum of 900 000 000 new shares. In 2002, the Board of Directors has not
increased the share capital on the basis of this authorization. The authorization expired on March 21, 2002.
At the Annual General Meeting held on March 21, 2002 Nokia shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to decide on an increase of the
share capital by a maximum of EUR 55 800 000 in one or more issues offering a maximum of 930 000 000new shares with a par value of 6 cents
within one year as of the resolution of the Annual General Meeting. The
share capital may be increased in deviation from the shareholders’ preemptive rights for share subscription provided that important financial
grounds exist such as to finance possible business acquisitions or corresponding arrangements and to grant personnel incentives. In 2002, the
Board of Directors has not increased the share capital on the basis of this
authorization. The authorization is effective until March 21, 2003.
At the end of 2002, the Board of Directors had no other authorizations
to issue shares, convertible bonds, warrants or stock options.

At the Annual General Meeting held on March 21, 2002 Nokia shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to repurchase a maximum of
220 million Nokia shares, representing 4.2 per cent of total shares out-
standing, and to resolve on the disposal of such shares. No shares were
repurchased or disposed of in 2002 under the authorizations. These authorizations are effective until March 21, 2003. The authorisation to dispose of the shares may be carried out pursuant to terms determined by the
Board provided that important financial grounds exist such as to finance
acquisitions or to grant personnel incentives.
General about our stock option plans
Shares subscribed for pursuant to the stock options described on page 40
will rank for dividend for the financial year in which the subscription
occurs. Other shareholder rights will commence on the date on which
the share subscription is entered in the Finnish Trade Register.
Pursuant to the stock options issued, an aggregate maximum number
of 306 600 132 new shares may be subscribed for representing approximately 6.40 per cent of the total number of votes on December 31, 2002.
During 2002 the exercise of 3 152 226options resulted in the issuance of
50 377 020 new shares and the increase of the share capital of Nokia with
EUR 3 022 621.20.
There were no other stock options and no convertible bonds outstanding during the year 2002, the exercise of which would result in an increase of the share capital of the Parent Company.
The Nokia Holding Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan
In 1999 Nokia introduced a complementary stock option plan available
for Nokia employees in the U.S. and Canada (The Nokia Holding Inc. 1999
Stock Option Plan, the “Plan”). Each stock option granted by December 31,
2000 entitles the holder to purchase one Nokia ADS during certain periods
of time after April 1, 2001 until five years from the date of grant, for a
price within the range of USD 20.50 – 54.50 per ADS. On December 31, 2002
a total of 802 284 stock options were outstanding and 491 171 were exer-
cisable under the Plan. An exercise of the stock options under the Plan
does not result in increase of the share capital of Nokia Corporation. The
maximum number of ADSs with a par value of EUR 0.06 that may be
issued under the Plan is 2 000 000. The shares are carried at purchase
cost in the balance sheet until disposed.
Convertible bonds and stock options
The table on page 40depicts the main features of our outstanding stock
option plans, which may result in the increase of our share capital. The
increase in share capital resulted by these stock options is the number of
shares to be issued times the nominal value of each share. The plans
have been approved by the Annual General Meetings in the year of the
launch of the plan.

in accordance with prevailing regulations in Finland (FAS ). Based on our
audit we express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements
and on the parent company’s financial statements and administration.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Finnish Generally Accepted
Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit in order to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The purpose of our
audit of the administration has been to examine that the Chairman and
the other members of the Board of Directors and the President have
complied with the rules of the Finnish Companies’ Act.
Consolidated financial statements
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS) give a true and fair
view of the consolidated results of operations as well as of the financial
position. The financial statements are in accordance with prevailing regulations in Finland and can be adopted.
Parent company’s financial statements and administration
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
Finnish Accounting Act and other rules and regulations governing the
preparation of financial statements in Finland. The financial statements
give a true and fair view, as defined in the Finnish Accounting Act, of the
parent company’s result of operations, as well as the financial position.
The financial statements can be adopted and the Chairman and the other
members of the Board of Directors and the President of the parent company can be discharged from liability for the period audited by us. The
proposal by the Board of Directors concerning the disposition of the profit
for the year is in compliance with the Finnish Companies’ Act.

The Group’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards, which differ in certain
respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (U.S. GAAP). The principal differences between IAS and U.S. GAAP are

Pension expense and additional minimum liability
Under IAS, pension assets, defined benefit pension liabilities and expense
are actuarially determined in a similar manner to U.S. GAAP. However,
under IAS the prior service cost, transition adjustments and expense
resulting from plan amendments are generally recognized immediately.
Under U.S. GAAP, these expenses are generally recognized over a longer
period. Also, under U.S. GAAPthe employer should recognize an additional
minimum pension liability charged to other comprehensive income
when the accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) exceeds the fair value of
the plan assets and this amount is not covered by the liability recognized
in the balance sheet. The calculation of the ABOis based on approach two
as described in EITF 88-1, Determination of Vested Benefit Obligation for a
Defined Benefit Pension Plan, under which the actuarial present value is
based on the date of separation from service.
The U.S. GAAPpension adjustment reflects the difference between the
prepaid pension asset and related pension expense as determined by
applying IAS 19, Employee Benefits, and the pension asset and pension
expense determined by applying FAS 87, Employers’ Accounting for
Pensions.
Development costs
Development costs have been capitalized under IAS after the product
involved has reached a certain degree of technical feasibility. Capitalization ceases and depreciation begins when the product becomes available
to customers. The depreciation period of these capitalized assets is
between two and five years.
Under U.S. GAAP, software development costs would similarly be
capitalized after the product has reached a certain degree of technical
feasibility. However, certain non-software related development costs
capitalized under IAS would not be capitalizable under U.S. GAAP and
therefore have been expensed under U.S. GAAP.
Marketable securities and unlisted investments
Under IAS, prior to the adoption of IAS 39 on January 1, 2001, investments
in marketable securities were carried at cost. Upon adoption of IAS 39, all
available-for-sale investments, which includes all publicly listed and
non-listed marketable securities, are measured at fair value and gains
and losses are recognized within shareholders’ equity until realized in
the profit and loss account upon sale or disposal.
Under U.S. GAAP, the Group’s listed marketable securities would be
classified as available-for-sale and carried at aggregate fair value with
gross unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Investments in equity securities that are
not traded on a public market are carried at historical cost, giving rise to
an adjustment between IAS and U.S. GAAP. Total proceeds from the sale of
available-for-sale securities were EUR 94 million in 2000.
Provision for social security cost on stock options
Under IAS, the Group provides for social security costs on stock options
on the date of grant, based on the fair value of the option. The provision
is adjusted for movements in the fair value of the options. Under U.S.
GAAP, no expense is recorded until the options are exercised.
52 | Nokia in 2002
Page 53
U.S. GAAP
Stock compensation
Under IAS, no compensation expense is recorded on stock options granted.
Under U.S. GAAP, the Group follows the methodology in APB Opinion 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), to measure employee
stock compensation.
Certain employees have been granted stock options with an exercise
price less than the quoted market value of the underlying stock on the
date of grant. This intrinsic value is recorded as deferred compensation
within shareholders’ equity and recognized in the profit and loss
account over the vesting period of the stock options. The stock options
issued are recorded as share issue premium.
Cash flow hedges
As a result of a specific difference in the rules under IAS 39 and FA S 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, relating to
hedge accounting, certain foreign exchange gains and losses classified
within equity under IAS would be included in the income statement
under U.S. GAAP.
Net investment in foreign companies
Under IAS, on the disposal of a foreign entity, the cumulative amount of
the exchange differences which have been deferred and which relate to
that foreign entity should be recognized as income or as expenses in the
same period in which the gain or loss on disposal is recognized. An enterprise may dispose of its interest in a foreign entity through sale, liquidation, repayment of share capital and permanent loans, or abandonment
of all, or part of, that entity.
Under U.S. GAAP, the cumulative translation differences are reported
in the profit and loss account only upon the sale or upon complete or
substantially complete liquidation of the investment in a foreign entity.
Acquisition purchase price
Under IAS, when the consideration paid in a business combination
includes shares of the acquirer, the purchase price of the acquired business is determined at the date on which the shares are exchanged.
Under U.S. GAAP, the measurement date for shares of the acquirer is
the first day on which both the number of acquirer shares and the
amount of other considerations become fixed. The average share price
for a few days before and a few days after the measurement date is then
used to value the shares.
for the year ended December 31, 2002 is EUR 22 million (EUR 7 million in
2001). Amortization expense on intangible assets is expected to be EUR 22
million in 2003, 2004 and 2005 and EUR 14 million in 2006.
Amortization of goodwill
Under IAS, goodwill is amortized over its estimated useful life. Under U.S.
GAAP
, prior to July 1, 2001, goodwill was amortized over its estimated
useful life consistent with IAS. The Group adopted the transition provisions of FAS 141,Business Combinations (FAS 141), with effect from July 1,
2001.
The Group also adopted the provisions of FAS 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets (FAS 142), on January 1, 2002. As a result, goodwill
is no longer subject to amortization subsequent to the date of adoption.
As the non-amortization of goodwill provisions of FAS 142 were effective
immediately for all acquisitions after June 30, 2001, goodwill arising from
the Amber Networks acquisition was also not amortized during 2001.
The U.S. GAAP adjustment reverses the amortization expense recorded
under IAS and also reverses the movement in accumulated amortization
under IAS during the period subsequent to the adoption of FAS 141 and
FAS 142.
The following table shows the results of operations as if FAS 142 were
applied to prior periods:

Amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired
Under IAS, acquired unpatented technology is not separately recognized
on acquisition but is included within goodwill.
Under U.S. GAAP, any unpatented technology acquired in a business
combination is recorded as an identifiable intangible asset with a related deferred tax liability. The intangible asset is amortized over its estimated useful life. The adjustment to U.S. GAAP net income and sharehol-
ders’ equity relates to the amortization and accumulated amortization,
respectively, of Amber Networks’ intangible.
The gross carrying amount of intangible assets, under U.S. GAAP, is
EUR 109 million as of December 31, 2002 (EUR 109 million as of December
31, 2001), which is being amortized over an estimated useful life of five
years. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2002 was EUR 29
million (EUR 7 million at December 31, 2001). The amortization expense
Impairment of goodwill
The Company has evaluated its existing goodwill relating to prior business combinations and has determined that an adjustment or reclassification to intangible assets as of January 1, 2002 was not required in order
to conform to the new criteria in FAS 141. The Company has also reassessed the useful lives and carrying values of other intangible assets, and
will continue to amortize these assets over their remaining useful lives.
As of January 1, 2002, the Company performed the transitional
impairment test under FAS 142 and compared the carrying value for each
reporting unit to its fair value, which was determined based on discounted
cash flows. Upon completion of the transitional impairment test, the
Company determined that there was no impairment as of January 1,
2002, as the carrying value of each reporting unit did not exceed its fair
Nokia in 2002 | 53

U.S. GAAP
value. The Company also completed the annual impairment test required by FAS 142 during the fourth quarter of 2002, which was also performed by comparing the carrying value of each reporting unit to its fair
value based on discounted cash flows.
Under IAS, goodwill is allocated to “cash generating units”, which are
the smallest group of identifiable assets which includes the goodwill
under review for impairment, and that generates cash inflows from
continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from
other assets. Under IAS, the Company recorded an impairment of goodwill of EUR 104 million related to Amber Networks as the carrying
amount of the cash generating unit exceeded the recoverable amount of
the unit. Upon completion of the annual impairment test, the Company
determined that the impairment recorded for Amber Networks should
be reversed for U.S. GAAP purposes because, at the IP Mobility Network
reporting unit level where Amber Networks resides, the fair value of the
reporting unit exceeded the book value of the reporting unit.

Of the amount of goodwill under U.S. GAAP, EUR 352 million relates to
the acquisition of Amber Networks in 2001. Goodwill is not deductible for
tax purposes.
Translation of goodwill
Under IAS, the company translates goodwill arising on the acquisition of
foreign subsidiaries at historical rates.
Under U.S. GAAP, goodwill is translated at the closing rate on the
balance sheet date with gains and losses recorded as a component of
shareholders’ equity.

Critical accounting policies
Our accounting policies affecting our financial condition and results of
operations are more fully described in note 1 to our consolidated financial
statements. Certain of Nokia’s accounting policies require the application
of judgment by management in selecting appropriate assumptions for
calculating financial estimates, which inherently contain some degree of
uncertainty. Management bases its estimates on historical experience
and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the reported carrying values of assets and liabilities
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that may not be
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Nokia believes the following are the critical accounting policies and
related judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition
The majority of Nokia Networks’ revenue is derived from projects providing a customer specific solution consisting of complex telecommunication equipment and services modified to customer needs.
Revenue is recognized from these projects on the percentage of
completion basis. Completion is generally measured by reference to costs
incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total project costs. The
milestone output method is applied when the nature of the individual
project indicates that a milestone method is the most applicable measure
of progress.
The percentage of completion method relies on estimates of total
expected contract revenue and costs, as well as the dependable measurement of the progress made towards completing the particular project.
Recognized revenues and profit are subject to revisions during the
project in the event that the assumptions regarding the overall project
outcome are revised. The cumulative impact of a revision in estimates is
recorded in the period such revisions become known and estimable.
Losses on projects in progress are recognized immediately when known
and estimable.
Revenue recognition on initial 3G network contracts started in 2002
when Nokia Networks reached the relevant milestones for its singlemode and dual-mode WCDMA 3G systems.
Nokia’s current sales and profit estimates for projects may change
due to the early stage of a long-term project, new technology, changes in
the project scope, changes in costs, changes in timing, changes in customers’ plans, realization of penalties, and other corresponding factors.
Nokia Mobile Phones’ and Nokia Ventures Organization’s, as well as
certain of Nokia Networks’, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed
and determinable and collectibility is probable. This requires us to assess at the point of delivery whether these criteria have been met. Upon
making such assessment, revenue is recognized. In particular, Nokia
records estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing agreements, price protection
and other volume based discounts, mainly in the mobile phone business.
Sales adjustments for volume based discount programs are estimated
based largely on historical activity under similar programs. Price protection adjustments are based on estimates of future price reductions and
certain agreed customer inventories at the date of the price adjustment.
Customer financing
We have extended a significant amount of customer financing to selected
customers in our Nokia Networks business. In establishing the arrangements, management must assess the creditworthiness of the customer
and the timing of cash flows expected to be received under the arrangement. However, should the actual financial position of our customers or
general economic conditions differ from our assumptions, we may be required to re-assess the ultimate collectibility of such financings, which
could result in a write-off of these balances in future periods and thus
negatively impact our profits in future periods. Our assessment of the net
recoverable value considers the collateral and security arrangements of
the receivable as well as the likelihood and timing of estimated collections.
See note 34(b) to our consolidated financial statements for a further discus-
sion of long-term customer loans.
The carrying value of the customer financing extended to MobilCom
was written down in 2002 to the estimated fair value of the subordinated
convertible perpetual bonds of France Telecom that Nokia expects to receive
as repayment for the loans to MobilCom. The most significant assumptions used in determining the estimated fair value of the bonds were the
likelihood of approval of the transaction by the respective boards and
shareholders of MobilCom and France Telecom, discount rates, creditworthiness of France Telecom, volatility of France Telecom’s share price
and expected interest rates to be received. Should the ultimate
collectibility of the amounts due from MobilCom differ from the current
carrying value, an additional adjustment to this balance could be required in future periods, potentially negatively impacting our future
profits.
Allowances for doubtful accounts
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the subsequent inability of our customers to make
required payments. If the financial conditions of our customers were to
deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make
payments, additional allowances may be required in future periods.
Management specifically analyzes accounts receivables and analyzes
historical bad debt, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness,
current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms
when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventory-related allowances
We periodically review our inventory for obsolescence and declines in
market value below cost and record an allowance against the inventory
balance for any such declines. These reviews require management to
estimate future demand for our products. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the valuation of inventory.
Warranty provisions
We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue
is recognized. Nokia’s products are covered by product warranty plans of
varying periods, depending on local practices and regulations. While we
engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including
actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component
suppliers, our warranty obligations are affected by actual product failure
rates (field failure rates)and by material usage and service delivery costs
incurred in correcting a product failure. Our warranty provision is
Nokia in 2002 | 55
Page 56
Critical accounting policies
established on our best estimates of the amounts necessary to settle future
and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. While
we believe that our warranty provisions are adequate and that the
judgment applied is appropriate, such amounts estimated to be due and
payable could differ materially from what will actually transpire in the
future. As our new advanced products incorporate complex, evolving
technologies including next generation technologies, as we continue to
introduce new products frequently, and as local practices and regulations may change, it will be increasingly difficult to anticipate our failure
rates and length of warranty periods. Should actual product failure rates,
material usage or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.
Provision for intellectual property rights,
or
IPR, infringements
We provide for the estimated future settlements related to asserted and
unasserted IPR infringements based on the probable outcome of each
infringement. The ultimate outcome or actual cost of settling an individual
infringement may vary from our estimates.
Capitalized development costs
We c apitalize certain development costs when it is probable that a development project will be a success and certain criteria, including commercial
and technological feasibility, have been met. These costs are then
amortized on a systematic basis over their expected useful lives, which
due to the constant development of new technologies is between two to
five years. During the development stage, management must estimate
the commercial and technological feasibility of these projects as well as
their expected useful lives. Should a product fail to substantiate its estimated feasibility or life cycle, we may be required to write off excess
development costs in future periods.
Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill
We assess the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets, long-lived
assets and goodwill annually, or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that such carrying value may not be recoverable.
Factors we consider important, which could trigger an impairment
review, include the following:
• significant underperformance relative to expected historical
or projected future results;
• significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets
or the strategy for our overall business; and
• significant negative industry or economic trends.
base the cash flow projections. Management determines discount rates
to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activity’s current
business model compared to Nokia’s internal rate of return and industry
comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of products
and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period.
While we believe that our assumptions are appropriate, such amounts
estimated could differ materially from what will actually occur in the
future. For IAS these discounted cash flows are prepared at a cash generating
unit level, and for U.S. GAAP these cash flows are prepared at a
reporting unit level. Consequently, an impairment could be required under
IAS and not U.S. GAAP or vice versa.
Deferred taxes
Management judgment is required in determining our provision for
income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the extent to which
deferred tax assets can be recognized. We recognize deferred tax assets if
it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available in the
future against which the temporary differences and unused tax losses
can be utilized. We have considered future taxable income and tax planning
strategies in assessing whether deferred tax assets should be recognized.
Pensions
The determination of our pension benefit obligation and expense for
defined benefit pension plans is dependent on our selection of certain
assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those
assumptions are described in note 5 to our consolidated financial statements and include, among others, the discount rate, expected long-term
rate of return on plan assets and annual rate of increase in future compensation levels. A portion of our plan assets is invested in equity securities.
The equity markets have experienced volatility, which has affected the
value of our pension plan assets. This volatility may make it difficult to
estimate the long-term rate of return on plan assets. Actual results that
differ from our assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future
periods and therefore generally affect our recognized expense and
recorded obligation in such future periods. Our assumptions are based
on actual historical experience and external data regarding compensation
and discount rate trends. While we believe that our assumptions are
appropriate, significant differences in our actual experience or significant
changes in our assumptions may materially affect our pension obligation and our future expense.
When we determine that the carrying value of intangible assets,
long-lived assets or goodwill may not be recoverable based upon the
existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we
measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow.
This review is based upon our projections of anticipated future cash
flows. The most significant variables in determining cash flows are
discount rates, terminal values and the number of years on which to

Risk factors
January 23, 2003
Set forth below is a description of factors that may affect our business,
results of operations and share price from time to time.
• The new advanced products and solutions that we are and will be developing incorporate complex, evolving technologies, including 3G and
subsequent new technologies. This exposes us to certain risks that, if
they were to occur, could have a material adverse impact on us and our
ability to grow our business.
• Changes in the communications industry are expected to increase competition and change the competitive landscape and may affect our sales
and operating profit negatively.
• We may not reach our targets, and may experience greater variability in
our sales and operating profit than in the past, particularly depending
on the general economic conditions and the pace of development and
acceptance of new technologies.
• If we fail to manage the prices and costs of our portfolio of mobile
phones, our sales and operating profit may be negatively affected.
• The global networks business relies on a limited number of customers
and large multi-year contracts. Unfavorable developments under a major
contract or in relation to a major customer may affect our sales, operating
profit and cash flow adversely.
• Customer financing to network operators can be a competitive requirement and could affect our net sales, operating profit, balance sheet and
cash flow adversely.
• Our sales and operating profit could be adversely affected if we fail to
efficiently manage our manufacturing and logistics, or fail to ensure that
our products meet our quality standards.
• We depend on our suppliers for the timely delivery of components and
for their compliance with our supplier requirements, such as, most notably,
our product quality standards. Their failure to do so could adversely
affect our ability to deliver our products successfully and on time.
• As our products and solutions include complex technology involving
patented and other proprietary technologies, we face a risk of claims
that we have infringed third parties’ intellectual property rights. These
may result in costly and time-consuming litigation, the invalidation of
intellectual property rights on which we depend or increased licensing
costs for us to be able to utilize these rights.
• Allegations of health risks from the electromagnetic fields generated by
base stations and mobile handsets, and the lawsuits and publicity relating
to them, regardless of merit, could affect our operations negatively by
leading consumers to reduce their use of mobile phones or by causing us
to allocate monetary and personnel resources to these issues.
• Our net sales and costs are affected by fluctuations in the rate of exchange
particularly between the euro, which is our reporting currency, and the
US dollar and the Japanese yen as well as certain other currencies.
• Our net sales derived from, and assets located in, emerging market
countries may be adversely affected by economic, regulatory and political
developments in those countries.
• Changes in various types of regulation in countries around the world
could affect our business adversely.
• Our share price has been and may continue to be volatile in response to
conditions in the global securities markets generally and in the communications and technology sectors in particular.
We file an annual report on Form 20-Fwith the USSecurities and Exchange
Commission, which report also includes a description of risk factors that
may affect us. Nokia filed its Form 20-F annual report for the year ended Decem-
ber 31, 2002 on February 7, 2003. For further information you should refer to
our Form 20-F annual report.
• We are developing a number of our new products and solutions in partnership with other companies. If any of these companies were to fail to
perform, we may not be able to bring our products and solutions to
market successfully or on a timely basis.
• Our operations rely on complex information technology systems and
networks. If any system or network disruption occurs, this reliance could
have a material adverse impact on our operations, sales and operating
profit.
• If we are unable to recruit, retain and develop appropriately skilled employees, we may not be able to implement our strategies and, consequently, our results of operations may suffer.

Corporate Governance
Corporate Governance
Pursuant to the provisions of the Finnish Companies Act and our articles
of association, the control and management of Nokia is divided among
the shareholders in a general meeting, the Board of Directors and the
Group Executive Board. Our articles of association provide for a Group
Executive Board, which is responsible for managing the operations of
Nokia. The Chairman and the members of the Group Executive Board are
elected by the Board of Directors. Only the Chairman of the Group Executive
Board can be a member of both the Board of Directors and the Group
Executive Board.
The duties of the Board of Directors
The Board decides on matters that, in relation to the Group’s activities,
are significant in nature. Such matters include confirmation of the strategic guidelines, approval of the periodic plans and decisions on major
investments and divestments. The Board appoints the CEO, the President,
the Chairman and the members of Nokia’s Group Executive Board. The
Board also determines the remuneration of the CEO and the President.
The roles and responsibilities of the Board, its Chairman and its committees are defined in the Board’s Rules of Procedure. The Board’s committees consist of the Audit Committee, the Personnel Committee and the
Nomination Committee. The Board regularly reviews the Board’s Rules
of Procedure in order to ensure that they appropriately address the work
of the Board and comply with what the Board believes to be best practices
of corporate governance.
Election and composition of the Board of Directors
Pursuant to the articles of association, Nokia Corporation has a Board of
Directors composed of a minimum of seven and a maximum of ten members. The members of the Board are elected for a term of one year at each
Annual General Meeting, which convenes each March or April. Since the
Annual General Meeting held on March 21, 2002, the Board has consisted
of nine members. Nokia’s CEO, Mr. Jorma Ollila, also serves as the Chairman of the Board. The other members of the Board are all non-executive
and independent. “Independent” means that the members of the Board
have no material relationships with Nokia apart from Board membership. The Board convened nine times during 2002.
The Board elects a Chairman and a Vice Chairman from among its
members for one term at a time. On March 21, 2002 the Board resolved
that Jorma Ollila should continue to act as Chairman and that Paul J.
Collins should continue to act as Vice Chairman. The Board also appoints
the members and the chairmen for its committees from among its nonexecutive members for one term at a time.
The Committees of the Board of Directors
The Audit Committee must consist of a minimum of three independent
and qualified non-executive members of the Board. Since March 21, 2002,
the Committee has consisted of the following four members of the Board,
each of whom is independent and qualified: Robert F.W . van Oordt
(Chairman), Georg Ehrnrooth, Per Karlsson and Arne Wessberg.
The purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling
its responsibilities to oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of Nokia. These include the oversight of the quality and integrity
of Nokia’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosure, the
performance of its internal control and risk management and audit functions. The Committee further oversees the performance, qualifications
and independence of the external auditor. Under Finnish law, our external
auditor is elected by our shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
The Audit Committee holds meetings at least four times per year according to the schedule approved by it at the first meeting following the
Committee’s nomination. The Committee also meets with representatives
of management and the external auditor at least twice annually. The Audit
Committee held four meetings in 2002.
The Personnel Committee must consist of a minimum of three
members of the Board. Since March 21, 2002, the Personnel Committee
has consisted of the following four members of the Board, each of whom
is independent: Paul J. Collins (Chairman), Bengt Holmström, Marjorie
Scardino and Vesa Vainio.
The Personnel Committee’s purpose is to oversee the personnel policies
and practices of Nokia. It also assists the Board in discharging its responsibilities relating to the compensation of Nokia’s executives. It has overall
responsibility for evaluating, resolving and making recommendations to
the Board regarding the compensation of top executives, incentive compensation plans and policies affecting executives, as well as all equitybased plans and other significant incentive plans at Nokia. The Committee
is also responsible for ensuring that the compensation programs are performance-based, properly motivate management and support Nokia’s
overall corporate strategies. In addition, the Committee is responsible for
the review of senior management’s development and succession plans.
The Personnel Committee convened three times in 2002.
The Nomination Committee must consist of three to five members
of the Board. Since March 21, 2002, the Nomination Committee has consisted
of the following three members of the Board, each of whom is independent: Paul J. Collins (Chairman), Bengt Holmström and Vesa Vainio.
The Nomination Committee prepares proposals for the general meetings in respect of the composition, remuneration principles, and remuneration of the Board to be approved by the shareholders. It also monitors significant developments in the law and practice of corporate governance and proposes necessary actions in respect thereof. The Nomination
Committee held two meetings in 2002.
Proposal of the Nomination Committee of the Board
On January 23, 2003 the Nomination Committee of the Board announced
that it will propose to the Annual General Meeting that all the present
Board members be re-elected until the close of the following Annual
General Meeting in 2004.
Compensation
Board of Directors
For the year ended December 31, 2002, the aggregate compensation of
the eight non-executive members of the Board of Directors was approximately EUR 0.6 million. Non-executive members of the Board of Directors
do not receive bonuses. The remuneration for members of our Board of
Directors for each term expiring at the close of the next Annual General
Meeting is resolved annually by our Annual General Meeting, after being
proposed by the Nomination Committee of our Board.
The table on page 63 depicts the total annual remuneration paid to
the members of our Board of Directors, as resolved by the Annual General
Meetings in the respective years. Since the fiscal period 1999, approximately 60% of each Board member’s annual retainer has been paid in cash,
with the balance in shares of our stock, acquired from the market.

Corporate Governance
Group Executive Board
For the year ended December 31, 2002, the aggregate compensation of
the 10 members of the Group Executive Board, including Mr. Ollila, was
approximately EUR 7.9 million. Of this amount, approximately EUR 2.7
million was paid pursuant to bonus arrangements for the 2002 calendar
year. The bonuses of the members of the Group Executive Board are paid
as a percentage of annual base salary based on Nokia’s Short Term
Incentive Plan. The Short Term Incentive Payments are paid twice each
year based on performance for each of Nokia’s short term plans which
end on June 30, and December 31 of each year.
Short Term Incentive Payments are primarily determined based on a
formula that considers the company’s performance to pre-established
targets for Net Sales, Operating Profit and Net Working Capital efficiency
measures. Certain executives may have objectives related to quality,
technology innovation, new product revenue, or other objectives of key
strategic importance, which may require a discretionary assessment of
performance by the Committee.
Our executives participate in the Finnish TELpension system, which
provides for a retirement benefit based on years of service and earnings
according to the prescribed statutory system. Under the Finnish TEL pension
system, base pay, incentives and other taxable fringe benefits are included
in the definition of earnings, although gains realized from stock options
are not. The Finnish TEL pension scheme provides for early retirement
benefits at age 60 and full retirement benefits at age 65. The current TEL
provisions cap the total pension benefit at 60%of the pensionable earnings amount.
For Mr. Ollila, Mr. Ala-Pietilä, Dr. Alahuhta, Mr. Kallasvuo and Ms. Baldauf,
Nokia offers a full retirement benefit at age 60. The full retirement benefit is based on the executive's pensionable earnings at age 60, and assuming that the executive continues service with Nokia through age 65.
Nokia does not offer any such benefit to any other members of the Group
Executive Board.
Recommendations for the compensation of Messrs. Ollila and Ala-Pietilä
are presented by the Personnel Committee to the Board of Directors for
final approval. Compensation for other members of the Group Executive
Board is approved by the Personnel Committee.
Service contracts of the Chairman and CEO and of the President
We have a service contract with each of Jorma Ollila and Pekka Ala-Pietilä,
each of an indefinite duration. The Board has also agreed with Mr. Ollila
on the continuation of his services as CEO of Nokia through 2006.
Mr. Ollila’s contract has provisions for severance payments for up to
24 months of compensation (both base compensation and bonus) in the
event of his termination of employment for reasons other than cause,
including a change of control. Mr. Ollila will also be allowed to retain a
portion of his unvested 1999C options proportionate to the length of his
service, in the event his employment is terminated prior to the April 1,
2003 vesting date for the 1999C stock options. As previously mentioned,
Mr. Ollila is further entitled to a full statutory pension from the date he
turns 60 years of age, instead of the statutory age of 65.
Mr. Ala-Pietilä’s contract has provisions for severance payments for
up to 18 months of compensation (both base compensation and bonus)
in the event of his termination of employment for reasons other than
cause, including a change of control. Mr. Ala-Pietilä will also be allowed
to retain a portion of his unvested 1999C options proportionate to the
length of his service, in the event his employment is terminated prior to
the April 1, 2003 vesting date for the 1999C stock options. As previously
mentioned, Mr. Ala-Pietilä is entitled to a full statutory pension from the
date he turns 60 years of age, instead of the statutory age of 65.
