Nokia Corp (NYSE: NOK) reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nokia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fiscal fourth-quarter</a> net sales growth of 10% year-on-year to 5.98 billion euros ($6.39 billion), beating the <a href="https://www.nokia.com/about-us/investors/results-reports/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">analyst consensus estimate of $6.17 billion</a>. 
This reflects a strong recovery in demand from communication service providers, notably in North America. Nokia expects the trend to persist in 2025.
The comparable EPS was 19 cents (0.15 euros), compared to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus estimate of 13 cents</a>. 
The reported net income is 813 million euros, up from a loss of 33 million euros a year ago.

Comparable net profit was 977 million euros, up from 555 million euros a year earlier.
Network Infrastructure sales increased by 17% year over year in CC with growth in all business divisions. Cloud and Network Services sales increased by 7% year over year in CC&nbsp;&nbsp;driven by strength in both Core Networks and Enterprise Campus Edge.
Nokia Tech sales climbed by 85% year over year in CC, due to catch-up payments and also a higher net sales run-rate from deals signed in the quarter along with previously signed smartphone license agreement renewals.
Mobile Network sales declined by 2% year over year in CC, driven by APAC, while both Americas and EMEA grew.
Margins: Gross margin climbed by 280 bps to 46.1%. The comparable gross margin improved by 250 bps to 47.2% with a strong contribution from Nokia Technologies.
