Hit by hefty impairment charges and declining sales, Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia Corp plunged into a loss of euro 559 million in third quarter of this year.
In the year-ago period, the company had a net profit of euro 1.08 billion, Nokia said in a statement.
The company's net sales decreased to euro 9.81 billion in third quarter of 2009 from euro 12.23 billion in the same period last fiscal.
Nokia Siemens Networks, a 50:50 joint venture of Nokia Corp and German Siemens AG, had suffered non-cash asset impairment charges of euro 908 million and euro 29 million for restructuring and other one time charges.
"Our volumes and net sales were, however, somewhat constrained by component shortages we encountered across the portfolio. Challenging competitive factors and market conditions in the infrastructure and related services business necessitated non-cash impairment charges at Nokia Siemens Networks," Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo said.
