Nortel Reports Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2010
| Through the creditor protection process, Nortel has sold substantially all of its businesses generating approximately $3.2 billion in net proceeds for the benefit of its creditors, and preserving 16,000 jobs for employees with the purchasers of the businesses |
| Cash position as of December 31, 2010, impacted by the deconsolidation of the U.S. Debtors and their subsidiaries (U.S. Subsidiaries), continues to reflect restructuring progress |
| Focus remains on maximizing value for stakeholders, including the provision of transition services to purchasers, assessing strategic alternatives to maximize value of Nortels extensive intellectual property portfolio, sale of remaining assets, wind down of global operations, ongoing cost reduction, and other significant work toward the conclusion of the Creditor Protection Proceedings |
Financial Presentation and Q4 2010 Results
The presentation of our financial results continues to be significantly impacted by accounting conclusions resulting from developments in the creditor protection process. The fourth quarter loss of $2.2 billion includes non-cash charges of approximately $2.1 billion resulting from the deconsolidation of the U.S. Subsidiaries, and accounting for them under the cost method of accounting, effective October 1, 2010.
| Cash balance as of December 31, 2010 was $807 million, compared to $1.7 billion as of September 30, 2010, plus restricted cash balance of $3.2 billion of primarily divestiture proceeds. Cash balance as of September 30, 2010 related to the U.S. Subsidiaries of $966 million was deconsolidated as of October 1, 2010. |
| Fourth quarter revenues of $28 million related to MSS business and customer contracts not transferred with the sales of businesses |
TORONTONortel* Networks Corporation [OTC: NRTLQ] announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year 2010. Results were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in U.S. dollars.
As of May 31, 2010, Nortel determined that it no longer had significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the EMEA Subsidiaries primarily due to the significance of the completed business divestitures. As a result, Nortel accounted for the EMEA Subsidiaries under the cost method of accounting as of June 1, 2010. Commencing June 1, 2010, the financial results of the EMEA Subsidiaries are no longer included in Nortels financial results. As of October 1, 2010, Nortel determined that the U.S. Subsidiaries would be deconsolidated and accounted for under the cost method of accounting. This change was largely based on Nortels work toward standalone debtor estates due to the diminishing interdependency between the estates primarily resulting from the sale of substantially all of Nortels global businesses. Commencing October 1, 2010, the financial results of the U.S. Subsidiaries are no longer included in Nortels financial results. In the context of the Creditor Protection Proceedings, Nortel continues to evaluate the method of accounting for all of its subsidiaries.
As a result of the divestitures of: (1) the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)/LTE Access and Enterprise Solutions (ES) businesses in the fourth quarter of 2009; (2) the Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet, and Global System for Mobile communications (GSM)/GSM for Railways (GSM-R) businesses in the first quarter of 2010; and (3) the Carrier VoIP and Application Solutions (CVAS) business and Nortels interest in the LGN joint venture in the second quarter of 2010, only the residual contracts related to those businesses were
Page 2
included in the respective reportable segments. The MEN reportable segment also continued to include the multiservice switching products and related services (MSS) business. As announced on September 25, 2010, Nortel entered into asset sale agreements with Ericsson, the successful acquirer at auction, for the sale of the MSS business. Nortel and Ericsson are working toward a successful transition and closing of the transaction in the first quarter of 2011. As announced on December 1, 2010, Nortel China and other third parties entered into an asset sale agreement with Ericsson China for the sale of substantially all of the assets of Guangdong-Nortel Telecommunications Equipment Co. Ltd. (GDNT). Nortel, Nortel China and Ericsson China and the other shareholders of GDNT are working toward a successful transition and closing of the transaction in the second quarter of 2011.
The ES and LGN businesses are presented as discontinued operations while the other residual businesses are presented as continuing operations. The discussion below relates to Results from Continuing Operations under U.S. GAAP and excludes the financial results of the EMEA Subsidiaries and includes the financial results of the U.S. Subsidiaries for the first nine months of 2010 only. As a result, the comparative segment information has been recast to reflect this change.
Financial Summary
Nortels overall financial performance in the fourth quarter of 2010 was impacted by the sale of substantially all of its businesses in prior quarters.
| Revenues in the fourth quarter of $28 million, with declines year over year in all segments and in all regions. Full year revenues were $620 million, with declines year over year in all segments and in all regions. |

Discontinued operations revenues from ES and LGN in the fourth quarter of 2010 were nil, a decrease of 100 percent compared with the year ago quarter as a result of the divestiture of the ES, NGS and DiamondWare businesses in the fourth quarter of 2009 and the sale of NNLs interest in LGN in the second quarter of 2010.
Gross Margin
Gross margin declined to negative 42.9 percent of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to 41.5 percent for the fourth quarter of 2009, primarily as a result of the business divestitures. Gross margin was also impacted by the ongoing costs related to delivery of the transition services agreements, the recovery of which is recorded in other operating income.

Total Operating Expenses |
$ | 107 | 60 | % | ||||
A focus on reducing costs and the business divestitures resulted in lower operating expenses compared to the year ago quarter. Operating expenses were $107 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $268 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. Operating expenses were also impacted by a change in the methodology of allocating certain SG&A expenses related to corporate overhead costs to R&D expense and cost of revenues.
SG&A expense was $106 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $139 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. R&D expense was $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $129 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. These reductions were a result of the reasons described above.
Net Loss
The Company reported a net loss in the fourth quarter of 2010 of $2.3 billion compared to net earnings of $1.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009.
The net loss included reorganization items of $2.2 billion and interest expense of $79 million, partially offset by other operating income of $31 million comprised primarily of billings under transition services agreements and other income of $69 million.
The $2.2 billion in reorganization items primarily related to a charge of $2.2 billion resulting from the deconsolidation of the U.S. Subsidiaries. Other income of $69 million was comprised primarily of rental income of $9 million and a currency exchange gain of $64 million.
The net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2009 of $1.8 billion included a gain from discontinued operations of $696 million primarily related to the divestiture of the ES business to Avaya of $756 million, reorganization items of $1,261 million primarily related to the gain on the divestiture of the CDMA/LTE Access assets to Ericsson of $1,202, interest expense of $74 million, other charges of $44 million comprised in part by pension curtailment expense, and $80 million in income tax expense, partially offset by other income net of $19 million, comprised in part of a currency exchange gain of $14 million

Cash
The cash balance as of December 31, 2010 was $807 million and restricted cash was $3.2 billion primarily related to the business divestiture proceeds, compared to a cash balance of $1.7 billion as of September 30, 2010. The year-end cash balance excludes the cash balance of $966 million related to the U.S. Subsidiaries deconsolidated effective October 1, 2010. The cash balance was also impacted by cash used in financing activities of $75 million primarily related to the repayment of a note to the U.S. Subsidiaries, cash used in operating activities of $53 and a net unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $10 million, partially offset by cash from investing activities of $225 million primarily related to proceeds from the sale of the Carling Facility.
Full Year 2010 Results
For 2010, revenues were $620 million compared to $3.5 billion for 2009. Nortel reported a net loss for 2010 of $4.1 billion, compared to net earnings of $0.5 billion for the year 2009.
Net loss for 2010 included reorganization items of $3.6 billion and interest expense of $306 million, partially offset by other operating income of $281 million comprised primarily of billings under transition services agreements and other income of $83 million.
Net earnings for 2009 included reorganization items of $971 million primarily related to the gain on the divestiture to Ericsson, income tax expense of $101 million, a currency exchange gain of $43 million, and net earnings from discontinued operations of $245 primarily related to the gain on the divestiture to Avaya of $756 million.
As previously announced, Nortel does not expect that the Companys common shareholders or the NNL preferred shareholders will receive any value from the creditor protection proceedings and expects that the proceedings will result in the cancellation of these equity interests.

(a) | Nortel determined that, as of the Petition Date, the presentation of the EMEA Subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting was more appropriate based on the conclusion that Nortel exercised significant influence over those entities. The equity method of accounting resulted in the financial position and results of operations of the EMEA Subsidiaries being presented net on a single line on the balance sheet and statement of operations, respectively, versus being combined gross into each individual line item. As of May 31, 2010, the EMEA Subsidiaries are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. |
(b) | Nortel determined that, as of October 1, 2010, the U.S. Debtors, and their subsidiaries (U.S. Subsidiaries), should be accounted for under the cost method of accounting. |
(c) | The ES business as well as the shares of NGS and DiamondWare are presented as discontinued operations beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The LGN business is presented as discontinued operations beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Accordingly, comparative periods have been recast to give effect for the changes in presentation. |
