NORTEL NETWORKS REPORTS STRONG THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
:: Revenues Up 30 per cent to $5.4 Billion
:: Net Earnings from Operations Up 61 per cent to $380 Million
:: EPS From Operations Up 33 per cent to $0.28
Brampton, Ontario, October 26 - Nortel Networks(x) (NYSE/TSE: NT) today
reported results for the third quarter and first nine months of 1999.
Revenues increased 30 percent to $5.39 billion for the third quarter of 1999
of from $4.14 billion for the same period in 1998. Net earnings from
operations applicable to common shares (a) for the quarter were $380 million,
or $0.28 per share, compared to $236 million, or $0.21 per share, for the same
period in 1998, an increase in EPS from operations of 33 percent. Including
Acquisition Related Costs (a) and one-time gains and charges, Nortel Networks
recorded net earnings applicable to common shares in the third quarter of 1999
of $1 million or less than $0.01 per share.
"We are extremely pleased with our strong growth in the quarter which
reflected continued momentum with our carrier and service provider customers,"
said John Roth, president and chief executive officer, Nortel Networks. "The
strong demand for our optical, wireless, high speed access and new Internet
Protocol (IP) offerings further confirmed our leadership in creating a
high-performance Internet with new economics and increased speed, reliability
and quality.
Notable highlights since the beginning of third quarter included:
- Announcements related to the deployment of our market leading next
generation Internet capabilities, including
AT&T Wireless Services - Wireless Internet solutions (TDMA) for five states in
the western United States,
Cable & Wireless - open Optical Internet equipment and system integration for
its European network, and nationwide open Optical Internet solutions for its
national network in the United States,
Level 3 Communications - transport, Optical Internet (10 Gigabit) solutions
and network management for its IP optimised end-to-end international network,
Telia - high performance IP packet network in Sweden,
NET-tel Communications - Internet Telephony, packet voice gateway and
multimedia access platform for transition to next generation packet network in
the United States,
Prism Communications - expansion of its network across 33 markets in the U.S.
with Internet Telephony and high speed access solutions (DSL-based),
NaviNet - High speed access solutions (CVX1800) for Internet Access Services,
Bouygues Telecom - General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) trial in selected areas
of Paris,
One-2-One - market trial of GPRS solution in areas of London, to demonstrate
Wireless Internet capabilities using WAP (Wireless Application Protocol), and
Swisscom (TNet'99) - Optical Internet Solutions, Intranet Services and prime
contractor for the Telecom '99 network.
- Two product announcements concerning the next generation Optical Internet:
the OPTera(x) Packet Solution, which will bridge optical and packet networks
to deliver advanced optical switching and routing at speeds of up to 19
Terabits per second, and an even higher capacity optical transport using an 80
Gigabit per second platform and supporting up to 6.4 Terabits per second of
traffic on a single fibre. Expected to be available in 2000 and 2001
respectively, both solutions will be scalable from today's offerings.
- The acquisition announcements involving Clarify, a leader in front office
application solutions focussed on customer relationship management for
eBusiness and Periphonics, a leading provider of interactive voice and web
response solutions used in call centres and other network applications."
"These highlights, together with continued progress on key business
initiatives, including virtual integration of our business operations,
evolution of eBusiness initiatives and realigning the organisation to better
serve our customers, will position us well for continued success in 2000,"
Roth said.
Commenting specifically on the Corporation's anticipated U.S. GAAP financial
results for 2000, Frank Dunn, senior vice-president and chief financial
officer, Nortel Networks, said, "Given the strong quarter and our
strengthening momentum in the marketplace, we now expect that our revenue
growth will exceed the market growth of 14 to 15 percent by about 6 percentage
points, and that our growth in earnings per share from operations will be
faster than our revenue growth".
Revenue Breakdown
Segment revenues for the third quarter increased 32 percent for the Carrier
segment and 27 percent for the Enterprise segment over the same period in
1998.
Carrier segment revenues reflected continued strong increases in both optical
networks and high speed access solutions in the United States and Europe.
Sales of mobility systems increased significantly in Europe, the United States
and Asia Pacific more than off setting a decline in Brazil.
Enterprise segment revenues increased in the quarter, primarily driven by the
increase in enterprise data revenues due to the Bay Networks merger. Sales of
enterprise applications also increased in the United States and Europe more
than offsetting a decline in Canada.
Geographic revenues for the third quarter of 1999 increased 39 percent in the
United States and 24 percent outside the United States and Canada over the
third quarter 1998, while revenues in Canada declined 3 percent.
The overall increase in net earnings from operations for the quarter was
driven by revenue growth, higher gross profit and a decrease in the effective
tax rate.
The third quarter 1999 earnings specifically included one-time pre-tax net
gains of $110 million (primarily related to the divestiture and outsourcing of
certain operations as part of the strategy to streamline operations announced
in January 1999), one-time pre-tax charges of $103 million (primarily related
to asset writedowns and severance costs associated with the Enterprise
segment) and Acquisition Related Costs of $384 million (primarily related to
the Bay Networks intangible assets).
Nine-Month Results
For the first nine months of 1999, revenues increased 29 per cent to $15.22
billion from $11.81 billion for the same period in 1998. Net earnings from
operations applicable to common shares (a) for the first nine months were $970
million, or $0.72 per share, compared to $588 million, or $0.54 per share, for
the same period in 1998, an increase in EPS from operations of 33 per cent.
Including Acquisition Related Costs and one-time gains and charges, Nortel
Networks recorded a net loss of $614 million, or $0.46 per share, for the
first nine months of 1999.
Expenses
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in the quarter were $979
million, or 18.2 per cent of revenue, compared with $728 million, or 17.6 per
cent of revenue, in the third quarter of 1998. For the first nine months of
1999, SG&A expenses were $2.87 billion, or 18.9 per cent of revenue, compared
with $2.06 billion, or 17.5 per cent of revenues, in the first nine months of
1998. The increased SG&A expenses in the quarter primarily reflected the
higher SG&A expenses associated with Enterprise operations that have
traditionally higher spending levels, increased levels of customer financing
activity and investments to support Nortel Networks' enhanced global marketing
programs.
Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $755 million, or 14.0 per cent
of revenue, in the quarter, compared with $616 million, or 14.9 per cent of
revenue, in the third quarter of 1998. For the first nine months of 1999, R&D
expenses were $2.12 billion, or 13.9 per cent of revenues, compared with $1.80
billion, or 15.3 per cent of revenue, in the first nine months of 1998. The
increased R&D investments in the quarter reflected planned increases in the
Carrier and Enterprise segments focused on data networking and IP
technologies.
Nortel Networks is a global leader in telephony, data, wireless and wireline
solutions for the Internet. The Company had 1998 revenues of $17.6 billion and

(x) For the purposes of reporting under United States GAAP, companies are
required to estimate the annual tax rate and apply this rate to their earnings
or loss on a quarterly basis. For 1999 and 1998, the quarterly financial
statement profile has been adjusted to reflect this practice. This adjustment
impacts the income tax provision on the statements of operations with an
offset to income taxes payable on the balance sheets. The adjustment has a nil
impact on the Corporation's net earnings (loss) on the statements of
operations and the balance sheets for the fiscal periods ended, and as at,
December 31, 1999 and 1998.

(1) Revenues by geographic area have been restated to reflect the evolution of
certain non operating businesses within the management structure.
(2) Revenues by segment have been restated to reflect the evolution of certain
businesses within the management structure. The primary effect of this
reclassification was to move certain businesses among Enterprise, Other and
Carrier to more closely align the businesses with their primary customers.
