'지분50%+1주' 매입 확정, 19일 공식 발표
4~5월 새 법인으로 출범 4G 글로벌 LTE사업 전초기지로 육성
2대주주 LG전자는 지분처리 여부 결정 안해 에릭슨과 협력유지 할듯


최인철기자 michel@sed.co.kr

세계 최대의 통신장비업체인 에릭슨이 LG노텔의 경영권을 인수한다.

18일 업계에 따르면 LG노텔의 대주주인 캐나다 노텔네트웍스는 LG노텔 지분(50%+1주)을 스웨덴 에릭슨그룹에 매각하기로 최종 확정했다. 에릭슨 측은 19일 LG노텔 지분 인수를 공식 발표할 예정이다.

이에 따라 지난 2009년 1월 캐나다 노텔이 경영부진으로 파산보호신청을 하면서 시작된 LG노텔 지분 매각작업이 1년여 만에 마무리되게 됐다.

에릭슨은 지분 인수 후 통합작업 등을 추진해 오는 4~5월에 새 법인으로 출범할 것으로 전망된다. 4세대(4G) 이동통신기술에서 롱텀에볼루션(LTE)을 주도하고 있는 에릭슨은 한국 4G시장에서 LTE사업 참여에도 적극 나설 예정이며 국내 IT기업과의 협력을 강화해 한국을 글로벌 LTE시장 진출 확대를 위한 전초기지로 육성할 계획이다.
LG노텔의 2대주주인 LG전자는 "LG노텔 지분을 어떻게 처리할지는 아직 결정되지 않았다"고 밝혔다. 통신장비업계의 한 관계자는 "LG전자가 4G시장에서 LTE를 밀고 있는 만큼 에릭슨과 협력할 가능성이 매우 높은 편"이라면서 "양자 간 이해관계만 맞는다면 공동경영권 유지 등을 통해 합작을 지속할 것으로 보인다"고 분석했다.

에릭슨이 LG노텔의 경영권을 인수함에 따라 에릭슨은 연 1조원으로 추정되는 국내 통신장비시장에서 삼성전자와 치열한 시장 쟁탈전을 벌일 것으로 예상된다. 그동안 국내 통신장비시장은 LG노텔과 삼성전자가 양분해왔으나 에릭슨이 LG노텔을 인수하게 됨으로써 에릭슨-삼성전자 구도로 달라지게 됐다.

국내 통신장비업체들은 앞으로 무선인터넷 활성화 추세에 발맞춰 3세대(3G) 이동통신기술은 물론 4G 설비투자도 대폭 강화할 계획이다. 이에 따라 한동안 위축됐던 국내 통신장비 관련 시장도 기지개를 켤 것으로 보인다.

이번에 에릭슨이 LG노텔을 인수한 것은 4세대 기술 가운데 강점을 보이고 있는 LTE시장을 선점하기 위해서다. 에릭슨은 지난해 7월 이명박 대통령의 스웨덴 본사 방문 때 LTE시장 주도권을 강화하기 위해 15억달러 규모의 한국 투자계획을 밝혔으며 이번 LG노텔 지분인수는 그중 일부다.

에릭슨의 LG노텔 지분 인수로 한국이 4G 이동통신 기술표준 결정에 중대한 영향을 주는 접전지로 부상할 것으로 보인다. 세계 통신장비업체들은 4G 기술표준의 주도권을 잡기 위해 LTE 진영과 와이브로 진영 간 치열한 경쟁을 벌이고 있다.

에릭슨은 지난해 말 북유럽에서 세계 최초로 LTE 상용 서비스를 개시하는 등 기술력에서 한발 앞서 있다. 지난달 세계 최대 통신전시회인 '모바일월드콩그레스(MWC)'에서 세계 최고속도의 1기가(Gbps) 다운링크 4G LTE를 시연하기도 했다. 모바일 기기에서 1초 만에 영화 한편을 눈깜짝할 사이에 받을 수 있는 기술이다.

한스 베스트베리 회장은 MWC에서 "HSPA와 4G LTE가 500억개 통신기기의 네트워크 연결을 가능하게 하고 증가하는 통신량을 무리 없이 처리할 것"이라면서 "선두 통신업체들이 이미 4G LTE 네트워크 구축에 의지를 보이고 있으며 에릭슨은 이를 위해 기술 리더십과 규모의 우위를 갖췄다"고 자신감을 드러냈다.

와이브로 종주국가인 우리나라로서는 4G 표준 전쟁에서 가장 유력한 경쟁자를 안방에서 직접 만나는 형국이다. 와이브로는 2006년 정부와 삼성전자ㆍKT 등이 함께 개발해 서울과 일부 수도권에서 세계 최초로 상용화한 기술. 국내에서 독자개발한 무선데이터 통신망이어서 정부가 세계 표준을 목표로 적극 지원하고 있다. 4월에는 인도 통신시장에서 있을 와이브로 주파수 분배에 한국기업 진출을 지원하는 등 와이브로 세불리기에 주력하고 있지만 LTE에 비해 역부족이라는 인상을 지울 수 없다.

통신업계의 한 관계자는 "세계 4G 주도권을 확보하기 위한 LTE와 와이브로 진영 간 패권 경쟁이 점차 달아오르고 있다"며 "세계에서 유일하다 할 정도로 한국 통신시장에서 와이브로와 LTE의 접전이 예상돼 해외 관련 업체들도 촉각을 곤두세우고 있다"고 말했다.

국내기업 중에서는 삼성전자가 와이브로 장비와 단말기를 생산하는 등 와이브로에 주력하고 있으며 LTE 기술의 경우 단말기를 생산하고 있지만 기지국 등 대형장비는 아직 출시하지 않고 있다. LG전자는 LTE에 주력하는 상태여서 에릭슨과의 협력을 강화할 가능성이 높을 것으로 보인다.

펀기사 - 에릭슨, LG-노텔 인수 최종 확정

드디어 LG-Nortel이 LG-Ericsson이 된다는 기사가 떴네요.

====================================================================

에릭슨이 LG-노텔의 경영권을 인수한다. 오는 5월 LG-에릭슨(가칭)으로 새 출발한다. 4월 한 달간 공식 출범 작업을 진행한 뒤 5월 초에 새 사명(CI)을 발표하고 공식 출범할 예정이다. 4세대 이동통신 LTE 진영 핵심 기업의 한국 진출이 본격화한 셈이다.

17일 관련 업계에 따르면 노텔 측은 보유한 LG-노텔의 지분 50%+1주를 에릭슨에 매각하기로 최종 확정했다. 아직 LG 브랜드 사용 등의 막판 협의가 진행되고 있으나 늦어도 이번 주 안으로 계약서에 최종 서명이 이뤄질 예정이다.

이재령 LG-노텔 사장과 비욘 알든 에릭슨코리아 사장 등 관계자들이 최종 계약을 위한 막판 조율 작업을 진행 중이다. LG-노텔과 국내 WCDMA 사업을 진행한 알카텔-루슨트 아태지역 사장도 방한했다.

최종 계약을 체결하면 한 달여간 준비 작업을 거쳐 5월 초에는 사명을 발표, LG-에릭슨 출범을 알릴 계획이다.

이에 따라 작년 1월 최대주주인 캐나다 노텔네트웍스의 파산보호신청으로 촉발됐던 LG-노텔의 지분 매각 작업도 1년여 만에 마무리하게 됐다.

LG-노텔 지분 인수로 지난해 7월 이명박 대통령의 스웨덴 방문 시 밝혔던 에릭슨의 한국 투자 계획도 모습을 드러내게 됐다. LTE 핵심 진영인 에릭슨이 한국이 진출해 와이브로와 한판 대접전을 벌이게 됐다.

 

당시 한스 베스트베리 에릭슨 회장은 대규모 투자계획을 밝히면서 한국 LTE 시장 진출에 대한 강한 의지를 밝혔다. 에릭슨은 국내에 차세대 이동통신 연구개발센터를 설립해 1000여명의 연구인력을 확보하는 등 한국을 LTE시장의 전진기지로 삼겠다는 전략이다. 에릭슨은 이미 KT와 손잡고 클라우드 통신망 기술을 활용한 HSPA+ 기술을 공급하고 있다.

LG그룹 측은 “협상이 막바지에 이른 것으로 알지만 아직 최종 협상을 마무리한 것은 아니다. LG-노텔 지분을 보유한 LG전자로부터 아직 어떤 협의 통보도 받지 못했다”고 밝혔다.

한편 노텔이 보유했던 LG-노텔의 지분 매각은 작년 5월에 골드만삭스를 매각 주관사로 선정하면서 본격화됐다. 진행 초기 알카텔-루슨트, 노키아지멘스, 사모투자펀드인 스카이레이크인큐베스트, 원에쿼티파트너스 등이 치열한 인수 경쟁을 전개했다. 최근에는 알카텔-루슨트, 스카이레이크인큐베스트 컨소시엄과 에릭슨의 2파전이 진행됐다.

펀기사 - 年 1兆 국내 통신장비시장 판도변화 오나

오랜만에 LG-Nortel의 M&A를 떠드는 기사가 났네요.

조만간 에릭슨 회장이 온다하니 멀지 않았나봅니다.

 

아래는 서울경제 15일자 기사입니다.

================================================================================

 

삼성전자와 LG노텔이 양분하고 있는 국내 통신장비시장 판도에 변화의 조짐이 일고 있다.

인수합병(M&A) 시장에 매물로 나온 LG노텔이 스웨덴 에릭슨으로 넘어가는 것이 기정사실화되면서 연간 1조원에 달하는 국내 통신장비시장의 주도권을 놓고 에릭슨과 삼성전자 간에 치열한 공방이 예고된 것. 여기에 중국의 화웨이와 노키아지멘스 등도 국내 시장 진출을 확대하고 있어 차세대 이동통신장비시장을 둘러싼 경쟁은 더욱 가열될 것으로 보인다.

15일 통신업계에 따르면 국내 통신업체들은 앞으로 무선인터넷 활성화 추세에 발맞춰 3세대(3G) 이동통신 기술은 물론 4G 설비투자를 대폭 강화할 계획이다.

최근 국내 통신장비시장은 기존 통신장비 대체수요와 소규모 와이브로 투자 등으로 연간 수천억원대에 불과했지만 이통사들이 투자를 확대함에 따라 관련 장비시장도 기지개를 켤 것으로 예상된다.
4세대 기술인 롱텀에볼루션(LTE) 분야에서 강점을 보이는 에릭슨은 한국 LTE 시장을 선점하기 위해 LG노텔 지분 50% 인수를 조만간 마무리하는 방안을 고려하고 있다.

한스 베스트베리 에릭슨 회장이 지난해 한국에 2조원을 투자하기로 밝힌데다 LTE 사업 신청도 준비하고 있다. 그동안 한국 통신장비시장은 LG노텔과 삼성전자가 양분해왔으나 에릭슨이 LG노텔 지분 인수를 완료하게 되면 에릭슨-삼성전자 구도로 변화되게 된다.

에릭슨은 국내에 차세대 이통 연구개발센터를 설립해 1,000여명의 연구인력을 확보하는 등 한국을 LTE시장의 전진기지로 삼을 전략을 세웠다. 이와 함께 에릭슨은 KT와 손잡고 '클라우드 통신망' 기술을 활용한 HSPA+ 기술 공급에 나서고 있다.

HSPA+는 비동기식(WCDAMA) 3G 이동통신 기술의 마지막 단계로 일명 3.9G 기술로 불릴 만큼 업로드ㆍ다운로드 속도와 처리능력에서 4G 기술에 육박한 상태다. 에릭슨의 한 관계자는 "베스트베리 회장의 한국 방문을 추진하고 있다"면서 "구체적인 투자도 함께 결정될 것으로 보인다"고 전했다.

여기에다 중국 최대 통신장비업체인 화웨이와 노키아지멘스ㆍ알카텔루슨트 등 내로라하는 통신장비업체들이 국내 통신사업자와의 협력을 통한 시장 진출 확대에 총력을 기울이고 있어 장비업체들 간 경쟁은 갈수록 뜨거워지는 분위기다.

화웨이는 KT가 발주한 2,000억원 규모의 전국 84개 지역 와이브로망 확장사업에 입찰해 사전 장비시험평가를 통과했다. 화웨이는 미국ㆍ독일ㆍ싱가포르ㆍ필리핀ㆍ스페인ㆍ호주 등에서 와이브로 장비를 납품하는 등 후발업체 가운데 가장 무서운 상승세를 보이고 있다. 화웨이가 최종 평가까지 통과하고 장비를 납품할 경우 경쟁력을 무시하기 어렵다.

알카텔루슨트는 벨연구소를 통해 SK텔레콤과 차세대 유무선 통신기술 연구를 위한 양해각서를 체결하며 협력을 강화하고 있다. 노키아지멘스도 국내 주요 통신사업자와 접촉하는 등 시장 진출 확대 움직임을 보이고 있다.

통신장비업계의 한 관계자는 "급변하는 국내 통신시장을 잡기 위한 글로벌 기업들의 관심이 크게 늘어나는 추세"라면서 "와이브로ㆍLTE 신규투자를 둘러싼 수주전쟁이 예상된다"고 설명했다.

한편 삼성전자는 인도 와이브로 시장 등 해외시장 공략을 한층 강화하면서 와이브로 종주국의 위상을 지켜나갈 계획이다. 인도정부가 추진하고 있는 4월 와이브로 주파수 할당에는 인도 통신사업자 타타를 비롯해 바티에어텔ㆍ에어셀 등이 참여할 것으로 보인다.

삼성전자는 인도 현지 통신사업자와의 협상을 통해 와이브로 장비납품을 추진하고 있다. 와이브로 종주기업인 삼성전자는 인도 와이브로 시장에서 수주에 꼭 성공해 명실상부한 세계 최고 와이브로 기술기업의 위상을 이어간다는 전략을 세웠다. 삼성전자는 지난해 말 북유럽에서 세계 최초로 LTE 단말기 상용 서비스에 성공하는 등 4G 통신장비시장 선점에 주력하고 있다.

삼성전자는 4G LTE, 3G HSPA 등을 모두 사용할 수 있는 단말기를 공급할 예정이다. 신종균 삼성전자 무선사업부장(사장)은 "삼성전자의 앞선 기술력을 바탕으로 소비자들의 다양한 욕구를 만족시켜나갈 것"이라고 말했다

펀기사 - Nortel Reports Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2009

며칠 전에 Nortel의 실적이 발표되었네요.

이 부분을 보면 LG-Nortel의 실적도 들어 있습니다.

작년동안에는 약 7천억 매출에 6백억 정도 영업이익이 난 듯 합니다.

하지만 4분기로만은 영업이익이 적자전환 했네요.

내부적으로도 사실 말들이 많긴 합니다.

에릭슨과의 M&A도 좀 늦어지는 듯도 하고..

Nortel(1) Networks Corporation (OTCBB: NRTLQ) announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year 2009. Results were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in U.S. dollars.

As previously announced on November 16, 2009 following discussions with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Nortel no longer combines the results of the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) subsidiaries, and entities they control (Equity Investees), with its consolidated results. Nortel has determined that, as of the Petition Date, it is appropriate to present its Equity Investees under the equity method of accounting based on the conclusion that Nortel exercises significant influence over those entities. 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. The comparative periods have not been recast for this change in presentation. As a result, analysis using the comparative periods may be difficult, and may not provide meaningful comparisons.

The Enterprise Solutions (ES) business as well as the Nortel Government Solutions (NGS) and DiamondWare businesses are presented as discontinued operations for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009. Accordingly, comparative periods have been recast to give effect for the change in accounting.

The Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) business did not qualify for treatment as discontinued operations and as a result is included in continuing operations.

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 from continuing operations 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.

As part of Nortel's ongoing cost reduction activities, on March 11, 2010, Nortel Networks Corporation (NNC), Nortel Networks Limited (NNL), Nortel Networks Inc. and Nortel Networks Capital Corporation each filed a Form 15 related to their respective debt securities and all related guarantees, as applicable, reflecting the automatic suspension of reporting requirements under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Act) as there were less than 300 holders of each series of securities as of January 1, 2010. NNL also intends to terminate the registration of its common stock under the Act shortly and suspend its obligations to file periodic reports with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. Following the deregistration of its common shares, NNL will continue to be a "reporting issuer" under Canadian securities laws and, as a result, will remain subject to continuous disclosure requirements, including the filing of annual and quarterly financial statements and managements' discussion and analysis of financial results under applicable Canadian securities laws. NNC will continue to be a "reporting issuer" under both Canadian and U.S. securities laws and will continue to remain subject to applicable continuous disclosure requirement.

Financial Summary

Nortel's overall financial performance in the fourth quarter of 2009 was impacted by continued ongoing negative economic conditions and the uncertainty created by the Company's Creditor Protection Proceedings which resulted in a decrease in customers' spending levels, as well as the sale of the CDMA/LTE Access and Enterprise, NGS and DiamondWare businesses in December 2009.

--  Revenues in the fourth quarter of $794 million, with declines year over
    year in all segments and in all regions. These revenues exclude fourth
    quarter revenues related to Equity Investees of $367 million
    and $300 million related to discontinued operations. Full year revenues
    were $4.09 billion, with declines year over year in all segments and in
    all regions. These revenues exclude full year revenues related to Equity
    Investees of $1.46 billion and $1.37 billion related to
    discontinued operations. Total revenues were $2.07
    billion in the fourth quarter of 2008 and $7.62 billion for the full
    year 2008 excluding revenues related to discontinued operations of $650
    million the fourth quarter of 2008 and $2.80 billion for the full year
    2008.
--  Gross margin of 38.3 percent in the fourth quarter, a decrease of 2.7
    percentage points from the year ago quarter, and full year gross margin
    of 42.4 percent, an increase of 1.0 percentage point from full year
    2008, includes charges related to workforce and other cost reduction
    activities and pension curtailment losses that historically would have
    been recorded in special charges. Excluding these charges, gross margin
    would have been 39.4 percent(a) for the fourth quarter of 2009 and 43.5
    percent(a) for the full year 2009.
--  SG&A expense in the fourth quarter of $158 million, a decrease of 32.2
    percent from the year ago quarter and SG&A expense for the full year of
    $698 million, a decrease of 39.4 percent from 2008. Excluding $13
    million for the fourth quarter and $67 for the full year related to
    workforce and other cost reduction activities and pension curtailment
    losses that historically would have been recorded in special charges,
    SG&A for the fourth quarter would have decreased by 37.8 percent year
    over year(a) and for the full year would have decreased 45.2 percent
    from 2008(a). SG&A expense in the fourth quarter and full year excludes
    $112 million and $511 million, respectively, related to Equity
    Investees.
--  R&D expense in the fourth quarter of $149 million, a decrease of 36.9
    percent from the year ago quarter and R&D expense for the full year of
    $757 million, a decrease of 33.7 percent from 2008. Excluding $13
    million for the fourth quarter and $41 for the full year related to
    workforce and other cost reduction activities and pension curtailment
    losses that historically would have been recorded in special charges,
    SG&A for the fourth quarter would have decreased by 43.2 percent year
    over year(a) and for the full year would have decreased 37.2 percent
    from 2008(a). R&D expense in the fourth quarter and full year excludes
    $16 million and $118 million, respectively, related to Equity Investees.
--  Cash balance as of December 31, 2009 was $2.0 billion and excluded
    Equity Investees cash of $815 million and restricted cash of $1,928
    related to divestiture proceeds. The consolidated cash balance
    exceeded the September 30, 2009 consolidated cash balance of $1.81
    billion, which excluded Equity Investees cash of $798 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. Commencing with the third quarter of 2009, Nortel began reporting its CVAS business unit as a separate reportable segment. Prior to that time, the results of CVAS were included in the Wireless Networks (WN) reportable segment, which prior to the third quarter of 2009 was called the Carrier Networks (CN) reportable segment.

Segment revenues were $1.1 billion for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $2.07 billion for the fourth quarter of 2008, reflecting a reduction of 49.2% percent due to declines across all business segments. The reduction was primarily a result of the continuing economic downturn, the uncertainty created by the Creditor Protection Proceedings, the recognition of previously deferred revenue in the fourth quarter of 2008 not repeated to the same extent in the fourth quarter of 2009 and the divestitures of the CDMA/LTE Access and Enterprise businesses in the fourth quarter of 2009.

(i) Includes revenues related to Equity Investees

WN revenues in the fourth quarter of 2009 were $375 million, a decrease of 67% percent compared with the year ago quarter and a decrease of 43% sequentially with declines in the GSM and UMTS solutions business and the CDMA solutions business. CDMA solutions revenues were impacted by the divestiture of the CDMA business in the fourth quarter of 2009. The wireless segment was also negatively impacted by a reduction in spending by certain customers as a result of their change in technology migration plans.

CVAS revenues in the fourth quarter of 2009 were $194 million, a decrease of 27% percent compared with the year ago quarter and a decrease of 7% sequentially primarily due to lower sales volumes.

Metro Ethernet Networks (MEN) revenues in the fourth quarter of 2009 were $327 million, a decrease of 29% percent compared with the year ago quarter and an increase of 11% sequentially. In addition to the overall factors above, lower revenues from certain customers also impacted the year over year decline.

LG-Nortel Co. Ltd. (LGN) revenues in the fourth quarter of 2009 were $154 million, a decrease of 24% percent compared with the year ago quarter and an increase of 50% sequentially. In addition to the overall factors described above, a majority of the year over year decline was in LGN Carrier, primarily due to higher sales volumes related to our 3G wireless products in the fourth quarter of 2008. The decrease was partially offset by network upgrades related to certain customers in the fourth quarter of 2009, as well as the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations.

Discontinued operations revenues in the fourth quarter of 2009 were $410 million, a decrease of 37% percent compared with the year ago quarter and a decrease of 14% sequentially. These reductions were primarily due to the divesture of the ES, NGS and DiamondWare businesses in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was 38.3 percent of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2009. Excluding charges related to workforce and other cost reduction activities and pension curtailment losses that historically would have been recorded in special charges, gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2009 would have been 39.4 percent(a) of revenues. This compared to gross margin of 41.0 percent for the fourth quarter of 2008 and 45.0 percent for the third quarter of 2009. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2008, in addition to the items already noted, gross margin decreased primarily as a result of the unfavorable impacts of product mix,foreign exchange fluctuations and price erosion.

A focus on reducing costs resulted in lower operating expenses compared to the year ago quarter. Operating expenses were $307 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and $339 million for the third quarter of 2009. This compares to operating expenses of $469 million for the fourth quarter of 2008.

SG&A expenses were $158 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to $233 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 and $155 million for the third quarter of 2009. Excluding charges related to workforce and other cost reduction activities and pension curtailment losses that historically would have been recorded in special charges, SG&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2009 would have been $145 million(a). SG&A expense in the fourth quarter of 2009 excludes $112 million related to Equity Investees. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2008, in addition to the items already noted, SG&A was favorably impacted primarily by headcount reductions and lower spending levels across all categories including a reduction in sales and marketing investment in maturing technologies.

R&D expenses were $149 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to $236 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 and $184 million for the third quarter of 2009. Excluding charges related to workforce and other cost reduction activities and pension curtailment losses that historically would have been recorded in special charges, R&D expenses for the fourth quarter of 2009 would have been $136 million(a). R&D expense in the fourth quarter of 2009 excludes $16 million related to Equity Investees. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2008, in addition to the items already noted, R&D was favorably impacted primarily by headcount reductions and the cancellation of certain R&D programs.

Net Earnings (Loss)

The Company reported net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2009 of $1.78 billion compared to a net loss of $2.14 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008 and a net loss of $508 million in the third quarter of 2009.

The net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2009 of $1.78 billion included a gain from discontinued operations of $689 million primarily related to the divestiture of the ES business to Avaya of $756 million, reorganization items of $1,263 million primarily related to the gain on the divestiture of the CDMA/LTE Access assets to Ericsson of $1,202, interest expense of $74 million, other charges of $59 million comprised in part by pension curtailment expense, $75 million in income tax expense and an expense of $1 million for earnings attributable to non-controlling interests (formerly minority interests), partially offset by other income - net of $35 million, comprised in part of a currency exchange gain of $18 million.

The net loss in the fourth quarter of 2008 of $2.14 billion included $959 million in income tax expense primarily attributable to the increase in valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets, a goodwill impairment charge of $910, loss from discontinued operations of $430, interest expense of $85 million, special charges of $85 million for headcount and other cost reduction activities, earnings of $2 million for earnings attributable to non-controlling interests (formerly minority interests) and other expense - net of $43 million, comprised primarily of a loss of $46 million due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Cash

Consolidated cash balance as of December 31, 2009 was $2.0 billion and excluded Equity Investees cash of $815 million. The consolidated cash balance exceeded the September 30, 2009 consolidated cash balance of $1.8 billion, which excluded Equity Investees cash of $798 million. The increase in the consolidated cash balance was primarily due to: cash from operating activities of $114 million; cash provided by investing activities of $75 million mainly due to proceeds from sales of business offset by changes in restricted cash including restricted cash of $1,928 related to divestiture proceeds; partially offset by financing activities of $46 million primarily related to a capital repayment; and net unfavorable foreign exchange impacts of $1 million.

Full Year 2009 Results

For 2009, revenues were $4.09 billion compared to $7.62 billion for 2008. Nortel reported net earnings for 2009 of $488 million, compared to net loss of $5.80 billion for the year 2008.

Net loss for 2009 included the amortization of intangibles of $13 million, reorganization items of $979 million primarily related to the gain on the divestiture to Ericsson, income tax expense of $75 million, a currency exchange gain of $38 million, and net earnings from discontinued operations of $201 primarily related to the gain on the divestiture to Avaya of $756 million.

Net loss for 2008 included the amortization of intangibles of $21 million, special charges of $251 million, a gain on sale of business and assets of $11 million, a litigation settlement expense of $11 million, a currency exchange loss of $38 million, M&A related costs of $9 million, an investment impairment of $8 million, income tax expense of $3,193 million, a goodwill write-down of $1,571 million and a net loss from discontinued operations of $1,175.

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) Each of Gross Margin, SG&A Expense and R&D Expense, excluding the impact of charges in relation to headcount and other cost reduction activities and pension curtailment losses that historically would have been recorded in special charges, are non-GAAP measures. Nortel's management believes that these measures are meaningful measurements of operating performance and provide greater transparency to investors with respect to Nortel's performance and supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. These non-GAAP measures may also facilitate comparisons to Nortel's historical performance and competitors' operating results. These non- GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in Nortel's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These measures may not be synonymous to similar measurement terms used by other companies.

(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.
The comparative periods have not been recast for this change in accounting.
As a result, meaningful analysis to the comparative periods may be
difficult.
(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.
