Nortel(1) Networks Corporation (OTCBB: NRTLQ) announced its results for the first quarter 2010. Results were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in U.S. dollars.

As previously announced, Nortel accounts for the results of the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) subsidiaries, and entities they control (Equity Investees), by the equity method of accounting in its consolidated results. The equity method of accounting results in the financial position and results of operations of the Equity Investees being presented net on a single line in the balance sheet and statement of operations, respectively, versus being combined gross into each individual line item. All periods in this release are presented using the equity method of accounting as described above.

The Enterprise Solutions (ES) business as well as the Nortel Government Solutions (NGS) and DiamondWare businesses are presented as discontinued operations for the periods presented. The ES business for the first quarter was comprised of the residual contracts not transferred to Avaya.

The Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet, and Global System for Mobile communications (GSM)/GSM for Railways (GSM-R) businesses did not qualify for treatment as discontinued operations and as a result are included in continuing operations. The CDMA business for the first quarter was comprised of the residual contracts not transferred to Ericsson.

Except in the Segment Revenues section, the discussion below relates to Results from Continuing Operations under U.S. GAAP and excludes the financial results of the Equity Investees. Consistent with the way we manage our business segments, the financial information in the Segment Revenues section includes the results of the Equity Investees within each segment. Therefore, in order to reconcile the financial information for the business segments discussed below to our consolidated financial information, the net financial results of the Equity Investees must be removed.

Financial Summary

Nortel's overall financial performance in the first quarter of 2010 was impacted by the sale of the CDMA, LTE Access and ES, NGS and DiamondWare businesses.



-- Revenues in the first quarter of $484 million, with declines year over
year in all segments and in all regions. These revenues excluded first
quarter revenues related to Equity Investees of $180 million and $10
million related to discontinued operations.

-- Gross margin of 27.5 percent in the first quarter, a decrease of 13.8
percentage points from the year ago quarter.

-- SG&A expense in the first quarter of $184 million, a decrease of 21.0
percent from the year ago quarter. SG&A expense in the first quarter
excluded $70 million related to Equity Investees.

-- R&D expense in the first quarter of $96 million, a decrease of 58.3
percent from the year ago quarter. R&D expense in the first quarter
excluded $7 million related to Equity Investees.

-- Cash balance as of March 31, 2010 was $1.9 billion and excluded Equity
Investees cash of $788 million. The consolidated cash balance decreased
slightly from the December 31, 2009 consolidated cash balance of $2.0
billion, which excluded Equity Investees cash of $815 million.




Segment Revenues

The financial information for our business segments includes the results of the Equity Investees as if they were consolidated, which is consistent with the way we manage our business segments, but does not include the results of discontinued operations.

As a result of the divestitures of the CDMA/LTE Access and ES businesses in the fourth quarter of 2009, beginning in the first quarter of 2010, only the residual contracts related to those businesses are included in the respective reportable segments. Beginning in the second quarter of 2010, as a result of the divestitures of the Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet and GSM/GSM-R businesses in the first quarter of 2010, only the residual contracts related to those businesses will remain in the respective reportable segments. The MEN reportable segment will also include the multiservice switching products and related services (MSS) business. The CVAS and LGN reportable segments will continue.

Segment revenues from continuing operations were $662 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $1.3 billion for the first quarter of 2009, reflecting a reduction of 48.6% percent due to declines across all business segments. The reduction was primarily a result of the divestitures of the CDMA/LTE Access and ES businesses in the fourth quarter of 2009.

(i) Includes revenues related to the discontinued operations of Equity Investees

WN revenues in the first quarter of 2010 were $168 million, a decrease of 70 percent compared with the year ago quarter with declines in all businesses. CDMA solutions revenues were significantly impacted by the divestiture of the CDMA business in the fourth quarter of 2009.

CVAS revenues in the first quarter of 2010 were $154 million, a decrease of 9 percent compared with the year ago quarter primarily due to lower sales volumes from certain customers, partially offset by favorable foreign exchange fluctuations and an increase in services contracts in the first quarter of 2010.

Metro Ethernet Networks (MEN) revenues in the first quarter of 2010 were $216 million, a decrease of 40 percent compared with the year ago quarter. Revenues were impacted by the divestiture of the Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet business in the first quarter of 2010 and certain projects in the first quarter of 2009 that did not repeat to the same extent in 2010.

LG-Nortel Co. Ltd. (LGN) revenues in the first quarter of 2010 were $122 million, a decrease of 35 percent compared with the year ago quarter. The year over year decline was primarily in LGN Carrier, mainly due to higher sales volumes related to our 3G wireless products in the first quarter of 2009 not repeated to the same extent in 2010.

Discontinued operations revenues in the first quarter of 2010 were $10 million, a decrease of 98 percent compared with the year ago quarter as a result of the divesture of the ES, NGS and DiamondWare businesses in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was 27.5 percent of revenues in the first quarter of 2010. This compared to gross margin of 41.3 percent for the first quarter of 2009. This decrease was primarily a result of the divestiture of the CDMA/LTE Access business in the fourth quarter of 2009 and the unfavorable impacts of inventory provisions and warranty costs, partially offset by favorable foreign exchange fluctuations.

Operating Expenses



Operating Expenses B/(W)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q1 2010 YoY
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SG&A $ 184 21%
R&D 96 58%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Operating Expenses $ 280 40%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------



A focus on reducing costs, and the divestiture of the CDMA/LTE Access and ES businesses in the fourth quarter of 2009, resulted in lower operating expenses compared to the year ago quarter. Operating expenses were $280 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $463 million for the first quarter of 2009.

SG&A expenses were $184 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared to $233 million for the first quarter of 2009. SG&A expenses excluded $70 million in the first quarter of 2010 and $132 million in the first quarter of 2009 related to Equity Investees.

R&D expenses were $96 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared to $230 million for the first quarter of 2009. R&D expenses excluded $7 million in the first quarter of 2010 and $27 million in the first quarter of 2009 related to Equity Investees.

Net Earnings

The Company reported net earnings in the first quarter of 2010 of $355 million compared to a net loss of $507 million in the first quarter of 2009.

The net earnings in the first quarter of 2010 of $355 million included reorganization items of $497 million primarily related to the gains on the divestitures of the Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet assets to Ciena of $549 million and the GSM/GSM-R assets to Ericsson and Kapsch of $93 million, other operating income of $60 million comprised primarily of billings under transaction services agreements and other income of $61 comprised primarily of a currency exchange gain of $44 million, partially offset by interest expense of $75 million and $12 million in income tax expense.

The net loss in the first quarter of 2009 of $507 million included a loss from discontinued operations of $197 million, $122 million equity in net loss of Equity Investees, interest expense of $76 million, other expense - net of $55 million comprised primarily of a loss of $46 million due to changes in foreign exchange rates, and a loss of $22 million due to income attributable to non-controlling interests.

Cash

Consolidated cash balance as of March 31, 2010 was $1.9 billion and excluded Equity Investees' cash of $788 million and restricted cash of $2.7 billion related to the divestiture proceeds. The consolidated cash balance decreased slightly from the December 31, 2009 consolidated cash balance of $2.0 billion, which excluded Equity Investees cash of $815 million. The decrease in the consolidated cash balance was primarily due to cash used in operating activities of $76 million, the reduction of cash and cash equivalents of deconsolidated entities of $24 million, cash used in financing activities of $13 million primarily related to dividends paid by subsidiaries to non controlling interests, partially offset by cash from in investing activities of $27 million, which included proceeds from sales of businesses largely offset by proceeds from those sales recorded as restricted cash, and a net favorable foreign exchange impact of $13 million.

As previously announced, Nortel does not expect that the Company's 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 has determined that, as of the Petition Date, the presentation of
the Equity Investees under the equity method of accounting was more
appropriate based on the conclusion that Nortel exercises significant
influence over those entities. The equity method of accounting will
result in the financial position and results of operations of the Equity
Investees 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.

(b) 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. Accordingly, comparative periods have been recast to
give effect for the changes in presentation.
