Nokia Q2 profit EUR 1.29 bln
HELSINKI, July 18 (Reuters) - The world's largest mobile
phone maker Nokia (NOK1V.HE) reported on Thursday the following
second-quarter key figures (million euros unless stated)
compared with median forecasts in a Reuters poll:
2002 2001 FCAST
Q2 Q2
Net sales 6,935 7,346 7,030
Pro forma pre-tax profit 1,292 1,166 1,272
Pro forma earnings per share (diluted) 0.19 0.17 0.18
NOTES:
- Pro forma figures exclude amortisation of goodwill and
non-recurring items. Nokia's shift to pro forma reporting, a
trend seen especially in the high-tech industry, has boosted its
earnings versus standard accounting.
