    Espoo, Finland - Nokia today provided preliminary information on certain aspects
    of its first quarter 2012 financial performance, including a lowered first
    quarter 2012 outlook for Devices & Services. During the first quarter 2012,
    multiple factors negatively affected Nokia´s Devices & Services business to a
    greater extent than previously expected. These factors included:

    - Competitive industry dynamics, which negatively affected net sales in the
    Mobile Phones and Smart Devices business units, particularly in India, the
    Middle East and Africa and China; and
    - Gross margin declines, particularly in the Smart Devices business unit.

    The impact of these factors on the non-IFRS Devices & Services operating margin
    in the first quarter 2012 was partially offset by a significant benefit from
    lower warranty costs.

    Updated outlook for Devices & Services for the first quarter 2012:
    Nokia currently estimates that its non-IFRS Devices & Services operating margin
    in the first quarter 2012 was approximately negative 3 percent, compared to the
    previously expected range of "around breakeven, ranging either above or below by
    approximately 2 percentage points" primarily due to the factors noted above.

    Outlook for Devices & Services for the second quarter 2012:
    Nokia expects its non-IFRS Devices & Services operating margin in the second
    quarter 2012 to be similar to or below the first quarter 2012 level. This
    outlook reflects that the first quarter 2012 benefit related to lower warranty
    costs is expected to be non-recurring, as well as expectations regarding a
    number of factors including:

    - competitive industry dynamics continuing to negatively affect the Smart
    Devices and Mobile Phones business units;
    - timing, ramp-up, and consumer demand related to new products; and
    - the macroeconomic environment.

    "Our disappointing Devices & Services first quarter 2012 financial results and
    outlook for the second quarter 2012 illustrates that our Devices & Services
    business continues to be in the midst of transition, " said Stephen Elop,
    President and CEO of Nokia. "Within our Smart Devices business unit, we have
    established early momentum with Lumia, and we are increasing our investments in
    Lumia to achieve market success. Our operator and distributor partners are
    providing solid support for Windows Phone as a third ecosystem, as evidenced
    most recently by the launch of the Lumia 900 by AT&T in the United States."
