- Nokia operating cash flow of negative EUR 173 million and cash generated from operations of EUR 182 million in Q1 2011.
- Total cash and other liquid assets of EUR 11.1 billion and net cash and other liquid assets of EUR 6.4 billion at the end of Q1 2011.
- Nokia taxes continued to be unfavorably impacted by Nokia Siemens Networks taxes as no tax benefits are recognized for certain Nokia Siemens Networks deferred tax items. In Q1, this was partially offset by favorable profit mix both in Devices & Services and in Nokia Siemens Networks taxes. If Nokia's estimated long-term tax rate of 26% had been applied, non-IFRS Nokia EPS would have been approximately 0.4 Euro cents higher in Q1 2011.
