Nokia reports Q2 2007 net sales of
EUR 12.6 billion and EPS of EUR 0.72
Nokia continued to grow in the second quarter thanks to an excellent performance from our device businesses.
Nokia's share of the global device market improved to an estimated 38%, while operating margins in our device businesses were at their highest level in three years. Diluted EPS was up 39% year on year, excluding special items.
Nokia now has some major hit products across what is already the industry's broadest product portfolio. I am particularly encouraged by the success of a number of recently launched higher end devices, which made a strong contribution to increased profitability.
Nokia Siemens Networks had a challenging quarter. Both net sales and margins were weak and these adverse developments require decisive action. Accordingly, Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks are accelerating and increasing the new company's annual cost synergies target. Nokia Siemens Networks must also ensure that the company is positioned for success and leadership in the fast changing infrastructure market.
Says OLLI-PEKKA KALLASVUO, NOKIA CEO
