Their focus on the enterprise computing and global services segment produced 51 percent of total revenue and 90 percent of total profits in the fourth quarter. A continuing improvement in the mix is expected to drive gross margins to almost 25 percent next year from 23.5 percent this year.

I am extremely pleased with Nokia's performance both during the fourth quarter and for the full year 2005. Nokia's sales grew 16 percent in 2005, the highest sales growth we have seen since 2000, while our EPS grew 20 percent.

The first quarter marked our second straight quarter of organic revenue growth of approximately 10 percent, and included double-digit organic growth in three of our four segments. Segment margins expanded 60 points to 8.2 percent, positioning us well to meet our full-year target improvement.

Some companies have pulled ahead [of] spending, at least on the short term. That could help the fourth quarter number.

As a result of increased sales, product mix and expense reductions, second quarter gross margins as a percentage of revenue improved to 39 percent from 35 percent in the second quarter of 2004 and from 32 percent in the first quarter of 2005. We expect gross margin as a percentage of revenue to approximate 40 percent in the second half of 2005.

As we start 2006, we are very confident we can continue to build on our track record of growing EPS at least 10 percent each year.
