Nokia Corporation Report for Q4 2016 and Full Year 2016
Operating margin for Nokias Networks business at the high end of our guidance range for full year 2016
This is a summary of the Nokia Corporation report for fourth quarter 2016 and full year 2016 published today. The complete fourth quarter 2016 and full year 2016 report with tables is available at www.nokia.com/financials. Investors should not rely on summaries of our interim reports only, but should review the complete reports with tables.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Non-IFRS net sales in Q4 2016 of EUR 6.7bn (reported: EUR 6.6bn). In the year-ago quarter, non-IFRS net sales would have been EUR 7.7bn on a comparable combined company basis (reported: EUR 3.6bn on a Nokia stand-alone basis).
Non-IFRS diluted EPS in Q4 2016 of EUR 0.12 (reported: EUR 0.11) benefited by approximately EUR 0.02-0.03 due to the Q4 2016 non-IFRS tax rate coming in at 23% compared to our guidance.
Non-IFRS diluted EPS in full year 2016 of EUR 0.22 (reported: negative EUR 0.13).
Nokias Board of Directors will propose a dividend of EUR 0.17 per share for 2016 (EUR 0.16 per share for 2015).
Nokias Networks business
14% year-on-year net sales decrease in Q4 2016, reflecting challenging market conditions in Q4 2016 and the difficult comparison against the strong performance by Alcatel-Lucent in Q4 2015.
Strong Q4 2016 gross margin of 40.6% and operating margin of 14.1%, supported by continued focus on operational excellence and cost controls.
Operating margin of 8.9% in full year 2016, at the high end of our guidance range of 7-9%.
Nokia Technologies
25% year-on-year net sales decrease and 49% operating profit decrease in Q4 2016, primarily due to the absence of the Samsung arbitration award, which benefited Q4 2015. The declines were partially offset by the expanded intellectual property rights (IPR) license agreement with Samsung announced in Q3 2016 and divested IPR. In addition, the acquisition of Withings helped to offset the decline in net sales.
Group Common and Other
34% year-on-year net sales increase in Q4 2016, with particularly strong growth in Alcatel Submarine Networks.
