Nortel Reports Financial Results for the First Quarter 2009

Provides Business and Strategy Update

• First quarter Revenues of $1.73 billion, decreased 37 percent compared to prior year period. Excluding the negative impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, the decrease would have been 29 percent

• Management Operating Margin ^(a) (MOM) loss of $244 million, compared with positive MOM of $129 million in first quarter of 2008

^¡ Key MOM variances in the quarter include:

— LG-Nortel impact of $126 million vs. same period last year, reflecting significant contract completion in first quarter of 2008 not repeated in this quarter

— Cancellation of certain equity-based compensation plans charge of $91 million

— Restructuring charge of $59 million, historically would have been recorded in special charges

— Lower revenues offset in part by lower costs and higher productivity levels

• Cash balance as of March 31, 2009 of approximately $2.48 billion, compared to $2.4 billion at year-end 2008

• Customer service levels are at multi-year highs

• Focus is on maximizing value for stakeholders, including creditors, customers and employees

TORONTO—Nortel* Networks Corporation [TSX: NT | OTC: NRTLQ] announced its results for the first quarter 2009. Results were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in U.S. dollars. The Company also provided an update on its ongoing business and strategic review as part of the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

Commenting on the results of the first quarter of 2009, Nortel President and Chief Executive Officer Mike Zafirovski said:

“First quarter results showed a decline in revenue and margins as expected due to the severe economic downturn and our filings for creditor protection. However, despite the declines we saw this quarter, revenue has stabilized and our cash balance is stable from year-end 2008.”

“We accomplished our initial objectives of maintaining our customer commitments and strengthening our operational performance. Network performance and customer service levels are at multi-year highs and customers are expressing their support of Nortel. Our employees have done a tremendous job under challenging conditions.”

Nortel filed for creditor protection in multiple jurisdictions on January 14, 2009 after the Company’s capital structure and historic financial obligations were exacerbated by the rapid and significant downturn in the global economy and credit markets.

Commenting on Nortel’s creditor protection process, Mr. Zafirovski said:

“We are focused on maximizing value for stakeholders, including creditors, customers and employees. Nortel has rich resources, leading-edge know-how and a deep talent base, and it is our responsibility to preserve this value.”

“These are the key considerations in our decision-making process, and work is well underway to evaluate the ultimate path forward for our businesses. Discussions are taking place with various external parties, however, decisions have not been taken and we continue to evaluate our restructuring alternatives. To provide maximum flexibility we are also taking the appropriate steps to complete the move to standalone businesses.”

“We have made the necessary structural decisions to give Nortel the ability to optimize value, and preserve innovation platforms and employment to the greatest extent possible. Our businesses will have the opportunity to more effectively serve the discrete needs of their respective customers and market segments, while maintaining high customer service and network performance levels.”

2009 Financial Highlights

Nortel’s overall financial performance in the first quarter of 2009 was impacted by the continued downturn in the economy, which resulted in a decrease in customers’ spending levels, as well as the ongoing impacts of the Company’s Creditor Protection Proceedings.

• Revenues in the first quarter of $1.73 billion, down by 37 percent year over year, with declines in all segments and regions. Excluding the negative impact of foreign exchange fluctuations of approximately $225 million, the decrease would have been 29 percent.

• Gross margin of 36.1 percent in the quarter includes charges related to the cancellation of certain equity-based compensation plans and workforce and other cost reduction activities that historically would have been recorded in special charges. Excluding these charges, gross margin would have been 38.1 percent.

• Although costs have been significantly reduced across the Company, the revenue declines and gross margin pressure resulted in Management Operating Margin ^(a) in the first quarter of negative $244 million or negative 14.1 percent.

^¡ Includes a non-cash charge of $91 million related to the cancellation of certain equity-based compensation plans and charges for workforce and other cost reduction activities of $59 million that historically would have been recorded in special charges.

• Cash balance on March 31, 2009, of $2.48 billion, compared to $2.4 billion at year-end 2008.

Completing the move to standalone businesses

The evaluation of Nortel’s businesses – Carrier Networks (which includes Wireless Networks as well as Carrier VoIP and Application Solutions or CVAS), Metro Ethernet Networks, Enterprise Solutions and the LG-Nortel joint-venture – is ongoing. As noted, the Company is taking appropriate steps to complete the move to standalone businesses initiated in late 2008. This will provide Nortel with maximum flexibility to choose the ultimate path forward for each of the businesses.

To achieve vertically integrated and fully independent business units, Nortel will decentralize its Carrier Sales and Global Operations functions over the coming weeks. This will enhance the business units’ overall responsiveness to changing customer and market requirements and provide the opportunity to better serve customers.

It is imperative that the independent business unit structure benefit from a streamlined shared-services organization to drive maximum efficiency. Therefore, the Company will expand the Nortel Business Services (NBS) organization to include operational and other functions from Global Operations, Corporate Operations and Finance.

The Company will also continue the necessary work to reduce costs across all of its business units.

Business Highlights

• Commencing with the first quarter of 2009, Nortel began to report financial results under a new operating model with four reportable segments; Carrier Networks (CN), Enterprise Solutions (ES), Metro Ethernet (MEN) and LG-Nortel (LGN). Each of these segments now includes the associated financial results formerly reported in the Global Services group. The Company will also begin to report Carrier VoIP and Application Solutions as a separate reportable segment commencing with the third quarter of 2009.

Page 3

• Prior to the first quarter of 2009, ES segment revenues were reported across two categories: circuit and packet voice solutions revenues and data networking and security solutions revenues. Commencing with the first quarter of 2009, revenues from both of these previous categories are collectively reported as communications solutions revenues.

Enterprise Solutions

Revenues

Revenues were $1.73 billion for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $2.76 billion for the first quarter of 2008, reflecting a reduction of 37 percent comprising declines across all business segments. The reduction was primarily a result of the continuing economic downturn and the uncertainty created by the Creditor Protection Proceedings, and the unfavourable impact of foreign exchange fluctuations. Foreign exchange fluctuations adversely impacted revenues by approximately $225 million, representing 8 percent of the decline.

Revenues B/(W)

	Q1 2009		YoY		QoQ
Carrier Networks	$	737	(32%	)	(48%	)
Enterprise Solutions	$	395	(41%	)	(34%	)
Metro Ethernet Networks	$	360	(10%	)	(21%	)
LG-Nortel	$	188	(66%	)	(7%	)
Other	$	53	0%		6%
Total	$	1,733	(37%	)	(36%	)

CN revenues in the first quarter of 2009 were $737 million, a decrease of 32 percent compared with the year ago quarter with impacts across all businesses. A majority of the decline was in the wireless segments, and in addition to the factors above, included a reduction in spending by certain customers as a result of their change in technology migration plans.

ES revenues in the first quarter of 2009 were $395 million, a decrease of 41 percent compared with the year ago quarter as a result of the factors noted above, namely decreased customer spending and decision-making deferral due to the economic conditions and the uncertainties created from our Creditor Protection Proceedings.

MEN revenues in the first quarter of 2009 were $360 million, a decrease of 10 percent compared with the year ago quarter with impacts across all businesses. Excluding the negative impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, revenues for MEN would have declined 6 percent year-over-year. In addition to the factors above, revenues from certain customers in the first quarter of 2008 that did not repeat to the same extent in the first quarter of 2009 also impacted year-over-year comparison.

LG-Nortel revenues in the first quarter of 2009 were $188 million, a decrease of 66 percent compared with the year ago quarter. In addition to the factors described above, a majority of the decline was in LGN Carrier, primarily due to the completion of a certain customer contract obligation that resulted in the recognition of previously deferred revenues in the first quarter of 2008 not repeated in the first quarter of 2009 and high sales volumes related to our 3G wireless products in the first quarter of 2008 not repeated to the same extent in the first quarter of 2009, as well as a significant foreign exchange impact due to the devaluation of the Korean WON against the US dollar. The decrease was partially offset by the completion of a certain customer contract obligation resulting in the recognition of previously deferred revenues in the first quarter of 2009.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues balances decreased by $142 million during the first quarter of 2009 compared to a decrease of $266 million in the first quarter of 2008.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was 36.1 percent of revenues in the first quarter of 2009. Excluding charges related to the cancellation of certain equity-based compensation plans and workforce and other cost reduction activities that historically would have been recorded in special charges, gross margin would have been 38.1 percent (b) of revenues. This compared to gross margin of 41.6 percent for the first quarter of 2008. Compared to the first quarter of 2008, in addition to the items already noted, gross margin declined primarily as a result of the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, and the unfavorable impacts of product mix and price erosion partially offset by a decrease in inventory provisions.

Operating Expenses

Operating Expenses B/(W)

	Q1 2009		YoY	QoQ
SG&A	$	528	12%	(13%	)
R&D	$	341	19%	(2%	)
Total Operating Expenses	$	869	15%	(8%	)

Page 5

A focus on costs resulted in lower operating expenses compared to the year ago quarter. Operating expenses were $869 million in the first quarter of 2009. This compares to operating expenses of $1,017 million for the first quarter of 2008.

SG&A expenses were $528 million in the first quarter of 2009, compared to $597 million for the first quarter of 2008. Excluding charges related to the cancellation of certain equity-based compensation plans and workforce and other cost reduction activities that historically would have been recorded in special charges, SG&A expenses would have been $445 million ^(b). Compared to the first quarter of 2008, in addition to the items already noted, SG&A was favorably impacted primarily by headcount reductions and lower spending levels across all categories including a reduction in sales and marketing investment in maturing technologies.

R&D expenses were $341 million in the first quarter of 2009, compared to $420 million for the first quarter of 2008. Excluding charges related to the cancellation of certain equity-based compensation plans and workforce and other cost reduction activities that historically would have been recorded in special charges, R&D expenses would have been $309 million ^(b). Compared to the first quarter of 2008, in addition to the items already noted, R&D was favorably impacted primarily by headcount reductions, the cancellation of certain R&D programs, and Nortel’s exit from the WiMAX business, as well as lower discretionary costs relative to the first quarter of 2008.

Management Operating Margin ^(a)

Management operating margin was negative 14.1 percent of revenues in the first quarter of 2009 compared to positive 4.7 percent for the first quarter of 2008. Excluding a non-cash charge of $91 million related to the cancellation of certain equity-based compensation plans and $59 million related to workforce and other cost reduction activities that historically would have been recorded in special charges, management operating margin would have been negative 5.4 percent ^(b) of revenues. The first quarter of 2009 management operating margin decreased by 1,880 basis points compared to the year ago quarter. The decline was due to lower gross margin and a decline in revenues that outpaced reductions in operating expenses.

Net Loss

The Company reported a net loss in the first quarter of 2009 of $507 million, or $1.02 per common share on a basic and diluted basis, compared to net loss of $138 million, or $0.28 per common share on a basic and diluted basis, in the first quarter of 2008.

Other expense – net was $70 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared to $1 million in the first quarter of 2008. Other expense – net included a currency exchange loss of $57 million, a loss of $5 million related to hedging activity and costs associated with divestiture-related activities of $3 million.

Earnings attributable to non-controlling interests (formerly minority interests) was an expense of $26 million in the first quarter of 2009, compared to an expense of $78 million for the first quarter of 2008.

Interest expense was $77 million in the first quarter of 2009, compared to $80 million for the first quarter of 2008.

Income tax expense was $7 million in the first quarter of 2009, compared to an expense of $36 million for the first quarter of 2008

The net loss in the first quarter of 2009 of $507 million also included reorganization costs of $52 million related to the Creditor Protection Proceedings and the application of SOP 90-7and a non-cash write-down of goodwill of $48 million. The net loss in the first quarter of 2008 of $138 million included special charges of $88 million for restructurings, a loss of $19 million due to changes in foreign exchange rates, a charge of $12 million related to a patent lawsuit settlement, and a gain of $16 million primarily from mark-to-market gains on interest rate swaps.

Cash

Cash balance at the end of the first quarter of 2009 was $2.48 billion, up from $2.40 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2008. The increase in cash was primarily due to cash from operating activities of $202 million, partially offset by the net unfavorable foreign exchange impacts of $54 million, cash used in financing activities of $48 million and cash used in investing activities of $18 million.

(a) Management Operating Margin is a non-GAAP measure defined as Gross Profit less SG&A and R&D expenses.
