Leases

4.3. Leases

Accounting policies

In the majority of its lease agreements, Nokia is acting

as a lessee. Nokia’s leased assets relate mostly to

commercial and industrial properties such as R&D,

production and office facilities. Nokia also leases vehicles

provided as employee benefits and service vehicles.

There are only minor lease contracts, mainly concerning

subleases of vacant leasehold or freehold facilities,

where Nokia is acting as a lessor.

As a lessee, Nokia recognizes a right-of-use asset and a

lease liability at the commencement date of the lease.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost less

accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and

adjusted for any remeasurements of the lease liabilities.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line

basis over the lease term as follows:

Buildings	3–15 years
Other	3–5 years

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value

of the lease payments made over the lease term. Nokia

uses its incremental borrowing rate to calculate the

present value as the interest rate implicit in the lease is

not readily determinable. Subsequently, lease liabilities

are measured on an amortized cost basis using the

effective interest method. In addition, lease liabilities are

remeasured if there is a lease modification, a change in

the lease term or a change in the future lease payments.

The interest component of the lease payments is

recognized as interest expense in financial expenses.

Nokia applies practical expedients whereby the payments

for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are

recognized as an operating expense on a straight-line

basis over the lease term. In addition, Nokia does not

separate certain non-lease components from lease

components but instead accounts for each lease

component and associated non-lease component

as a single lease component.
