THE world's leading mobile phone maker, Nokia Corp, yesterday reported a loss of 559 million euros (US$835.31 million) in the third quarter.
The result was a fallout from a 20-percent drop in sales and a one-time charge for the fallen value of its network equipment unit.
The Finnish company's share price plummeted 6.6 percent to 9.62 euros in Helsinki yesterday. Nokia made a profit of 1.09 billion euros in the same quarter of 2008.
Net sales in the July-September period dropped to 9.81 billion euros, down from 12.2 billion euros in the same period last year, partly due to a shortage of components, Nokia said.
The mobile phone industry has been hit hard by the financial crisis but Nokia said it felt confident about the future.
