Walkley concludes that “NSN management will continue its strong execution on its cost-cutting initiatives, positioning NSN for sustained annual operating margins in the 5%-10% range,” despite slowing carrier spending in the latter half of this year.

The analyst was impressed by NSN CEO Rajeev Suri’s leadership and Mr. Ovesen’s expertise in company restructurings, NSN’s restructuring was ahead of plan exiting 2012, resulting in 2012 results ahead of plan and leading to the increased annualized cost savings target of now greater than €1B.

“Despite management’s impressive execution on cost-reduction efforts, we anticipate modest cash burn in 2013 due to our increased working capital assumptions for Devices & Services combined with some severance payments. Nokia ended the year with €4.4B in net cash, and we estimate roughly €3.6B in net cash exiting 2013. Since €1.3B of Nokia’s current net cash balance is contributed by NSN, we include €2.3B of this cash in our sum- of-the-parts analysis directly and consider the NSN cash balance below.”
