Solid performance offset by currency impact Q2 comparable net sales declined 1% y-o-y on a constant currency and portfolio basis (2% reported) due to a 13% decline in Mobile Networks which had benefited from accelerated revenue recognition in the prior year. Network Infrastructure grew 8% while Cloud and Network Services grew 14%. Nokia Technologies grew 3%. Comparable gross margin in Q2 was flat y-o-y at 44.7% (reported increased 10bps to 43.4%). Gross margins were broadly stable in Network Infrastructure and Mobile Networks and improved in Cloud and Network Services. Q2 comparable operating margin decreased 290bps y-o-y to 6.6% (reported up 790bps to 1.8%), driven by a negative EUR 50 million venture fund impact which includes a EUR 60 million negative currency revaluation. Operating profit was also impacted by tariffs. Q2 comparable diluted EPS for the period of EUR 0.04; reported diluted EPS for the period of EUR 0.02. Q2 free cash flow of EUR 0.1 billion, net cash balance of EUR 2.9 billion. As announced on 22 July 2025, full year 2025 comparable operating profit outlook revised to between EUR 1.6 and 2.1 billion (was between EUR 1.9 and 2.4 billion) with free cash flow conversion from comparable operating profit unchanged at between 50% and 80%.

Nokia lowers its comparable operating profit guidance range to EUR 1.6 billion to EUR 2.1 billion from EUR 1.9 billion to EUR 2.4 billion. Adjustment relates to currency headwinds from the weaker USD and tariffs. Reports preliminary Q2 financial results of approximately EUR 4.55 billion net sales and EUR 0.3 billion comparable operating profit. Espoo, Finland – Nokia is today providing an update to its financial guidance for full year 2025. Nokia’s underlying business performed as expected through the first half, however, considering currency and tariff headwinds which are outside its control and have transpired since its Q1 results, the company feels it is prudent at this point to lower its operating profit outlook range. Nokia is lowering its comparable operating profit outlook range to EUR 1.6 billion to EUR 2.1 billion (previously EUR 1.9 billion to EUR 2.4 billion). Nokia’s guidance for free cash flow conversion from comparable operating profit remains 50% to 80%. Nokia’s guidance is now based on a EUR:USD rate of 1.17, while the currency rate used in January was 1.04. Since Nokia provided guidance in January for the full year 2025, two headwinds outside its control are impacting the 2025 outlook. The largest headwind is currency fluctuations (particularly the weaker USD), an approximately EUR 230 million negative impact (EUR 140 million operationally and EUR 90 million from non-cash venture fund currency revaluations). Also, the current tariff landscape is expected to impact full year operating profit by EUR 50 million to EUR 80 million.
