Nokia sees profits plunge by 90%

nokia factory press shot Nokia sees profits plunge by 90%

Nokia, the world’s largest mobile phone maker, has reported a 90% fall in profits for the first quarter of 2009.

The company said net profits sank to 122m euros ($160m; £108m) in the quarter, down from 1.2bn euros in the same period a year ago.

Sales were down by 27% to 9,28bn euros in the quarter from 12.7bn euros a year ago, Nokia said.

Last month, the company announced plans to shed 1,700 jobs worldwide as part of a major cost-cutting drive.

‘Tough environment’

Financial analysts said the results were not as bad as some had feared and Nokia’s share price rose 8%.

“Basically, the story to take away is it’s still been a very challenging quarter, but at least things didn’t get any worse, and I think that’s a good story,” said Caroline Milanesi an analyst at Gartner.

Its share of the global handset market was 37%, down from 39% in the same quarter a year ago, but stable from the fourth quarter.

“In what has been an exceptionally tough environment, we continue to invest in a focused manner in consumer internet services delivered across our broad portfolio of mobile devices,” chief executive Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo said.

“Combined these solutions will drive our future growth,” he added.
