11 March 2021 at 13:10 EET
Nokia today provides recast comparative segment financial information on a quarterly and annual basis for 2020, reflecting the previously announced organizational changes.
Changes in reporting structure, effective from 1 January 2021
On 29 October 2020, Nokia announced the first phase of its new strategy, outlining high-level strategic principles alongside a new operating model designed to better position the company for changing markets and align with customer needs. The new operating model is optimized for better accountability and transparency, increased simplicity and improved cost-efficiency. On 16 December 2020, Nokia provided an update on its new strategic focus areas and operating model together with its assumptions for its four new business groups and Group Common and Other in 2021 and over the longer term.
Accordingly, Nokia has revised its financial reporting structure to reflect its strategy, organizational structure and the way it evaluates operational performance and allocates resources. Reclassifications have been made in order to reflect the new organizational structure of the company.
The new model, effective from 1 January 2021, consists of four discrete business groups responsible for their own P&Ls and aligned with customer buying behavior: (i) Mobile Networks, (ii) Network Infrastructure, (iii) Cloud and Network Services and (iv) Nokia Technologies. As of 1 January 2021, these will also be the four reportable segments. In addition, Nokia will disclose segment-level data for Group Common and Other.
Within the new Network Infrastructure reportable segment, Nokia intends to provide net sales disclosure for the following businesses: (i) Fixed Networks, (ii) IP Networks, (iii) Optical Networks and (iv) Submarine Networks.
Nokia also intends to continue providing separate net sales disclosure for its different customer types: (i) Communication Service Providers, (ii) Enterprises and (iii) Licensees.
