Motorola Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in millions, except as noted)

(Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 2, 2011 and for the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010, include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“Motorola Solutions” or the “Company”) for all periods presented.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The results of operations for the three months ended April 2, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. Certain amounts in prior period financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Changes in Presentation

Networks Transaction

On July 19, 2010, the Company announced an agreement to sell certain assets and liabilities of its Networks business to Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. (“NSN”) (the “Transaction”). On April 13, 2011, the Company announced that it and NSN amended this agreement to, among other things, reduce the cash portion of the purchase price from $1.2 billion to $975 million. On April 29, 2011, the Company completed the Transaction, as amended. Based on the terms and conditions of the amended sale agreement, certain assets including $150 million of accounts receivable and the Company’s iDEN infrastructure business were excluded from the Transaction. The results of operations of the portions of the Networks business included in the Transaction are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Certain Corporate and general costs which have historically been allocated to the Networks business will remain with the Company after the sale of the Networks business.

Motorola Mobility Distribution

On January 4, 2011, the distribution by the Company of all the common stock of Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. (“Motorola Mobility”) was completed (the “Distribution”). The stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 21, 2010 received one (1) share of Motorola Mobility common stock for each eight (8) shares of the Company’s common stock held as of the record date. Immediately following the Distribution, the Company changed its name to Motorola Solutions, Inc. The Distribution was structured to be tax-free to Motorola Solutions and its stockholders for U.S. tax purposes (other than with respect to any cash received in lieu of fractional shares). The historical financial results of Motorola Mobility are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Table of Contents

Reverse Stock Split and Name Change

On November 30, 2010, Motorola Solutions announced the timing and details regarding the Distribution and the approval of a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-7. On January 4, 2011, immediately following the Distribution of Motorola Mobility common stock, the Company completed a 1-for-7 reverse stock split (“the Reverse Stock Split”) and changed its name to Motorola Solutions, Inc. All consolidated per share information presented gives effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

Change in Segmentation

Following the Distribution, Motorola Solutions reports financial results for the following two segments:

 

   

Government: Our government segment includes sales from two-way radios and public safety systems. Service revenues included in the government segment are primarily those associated with the design, installation, maintenance and optimization of equipment for public safety networks.

 

   

Enterprise: Our enterprise segment includes sales of enterprise mobile computing devices, scanning devices, wireless broadband systems, RFID data capture solutions and iDEN infrastructure. Service revenues included in the enterprise segment are primarily maintenance contracts associated with the above products.

During the three months ended April 2, 2011, the activity from discontinued operations substantially relates to the operations of the Networks business. During the three months ended April 3, 2010, the activity from discontinued operations relates to the operations of Motorola Mobility and the Networks business.

In the computation of diluted earnings per common share from both continuing operations and on a net earnings basis for the three months ended April 2, 2011, the assumed exercise of 9.5 million stock options were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. In the computation of diluted earnings per common share from both continuing operations and on a net earnings basis for the three months ended April 3, 2010, the assumed exercise of 18.7 million stock options and the assumed vesting of 0.2 million restricted stock units were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Upon the completed divestiture of the Networks business on April 29, 2011, approximately 1.4 million unvested RSUs and 0.2 million unvested stock options were cancelled.

Balance Sheet Information

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents (which are highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less) were $2.8 billion and $4.2 billion at April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Of these amounts, $65 million and $226 million, respectively, were restricted. The decrease in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2010 to April 2, 2011 is reflective of the Company’s contribution of $3.2 billion of cash and cash equivalents to Motorola Mobility, which included $160 million of restricted cash.

4. Credit Facilities

During the three months ended April 2, 2011, the Company terminated its $1.5 billion domestic syndicated revolving credit facility scheduled to mature December 2011 and entered into a new $1.5 billion unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility (the “2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement”) scheduled to mature on June 30, 2014. The 2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes a provision pursuant to which the Company can increase the aggregate credit facility size up to a maximum of $2.0 billion by adding lenders or having existing lenders increase their commitments. The Company must comply with certain customary covenants, including maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage ratios as defined in the 2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of April 2, 2011. The Company has no outstanding borrowings under the 2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement.

5. Risk Management

Derivative Financial Instruments

Foreign Currency Risk

At April 2, 2011, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $1.0 billion, compared to $1.5 billion outstanding at December 31, 2010. The decrease in outstanding contracts is primarily related to the Distribution of Motorola Mobility. Management believes that these financial instruments should not subject the Company to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should generally offset losses and gains on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions, except for the ineffective portion of the instruments, which are charged to Other within Other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table shows the five largest net notional amounts of the positions to buy or sell foreign currency as of April 2, 2011 and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2010:

     128        185   

Interest Rate Risk

At April 2, 2011, the Company has $2.7 billion of long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, which is primarily priced at long-term, fixed interest rates.

As part of its liability management program, one of the Company’s European subsidiaries has an outstanding interest rate agreement (“Interest Agreement”) relating to a Euro-denominated loan. The interest on the Euro-denominated loan is variable. The Interest Agreement changes the characteristics of interest payments from variable to fixed-rate payments. The Interest Agreement is not accounted for as a part of a hedging relationship and, accordingly, the changes in the fair value of the Interest Agreement is included in Other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. At April 2, 2011, the fair value of the Interest Agreement put the Company in a liability position of $2 million, compared to a liability position of $3 million at December 31, 2010.

Counterparty Risk

The use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. However, the Company’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instruments when the derivative is in an asset position. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk. At present time, all of the counterparties have investment grade credit ratings. The Company is not exposed to material credit risk with any single counterparty. As of April 2, 2011, the Company was exposed to an aggregate credit risk of approximately $4 million with all counterparties.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, Sigma Fund investments, short-term investments, accounts receivable, long-term receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, derivative financial instruments and other financing commitments. The Company’s Sigma Fund, available-for-sale investment portfolios and derivative financial instruments are recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. All other financial instruments, with the exception of long-term debt, are carried at cost, which is not materially different than the instruments’ fair values.

Using quoted market prices and market interest rates, the Company determined that the fair value of long-term debt at April 2, 2011 was $2.8 billion, compared to a face value of $2.7 billion. Since considerable judgment is required in interpreting market information, the fair value of the long-term debt is not necessarily indicative of the amount which could be realized in a current market exchange.

 

6. Income Taxes

At April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had valuation allowances of $260 million and $502 million, respectively, including $193 million and $187 million, respectively, relating to deferred tax assets for non-U.S. subsidiaries. During the three months ended April 2, 2011, the Company reassessed its valuation allowance requirements taking into consideration the Distribution of Motorola Mobility. The Company evaluated all available evidence in its analysis, including the historical and projected pre-tax profits generated by the Motorola Solutions U.S. operations. The Company also considered tax planning strategies that are prudent and can be reasonably implemented. As a result, the Company recorded a $244 million tax benefit related to the reversal of a significant portion of the valuation allowance established on U.S. deferred tax assets. The U.S. valuation allowance as of April 2, 2011 relates primarily to state tax carryforwards and future capital losses related to certain investments. The Company believes the remaining deferred tax assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized based on estimates of future taxable income and the implementation of tax planning strategies. The valuation allowance relating to deferred tax assets of non-U.S. subsidiaries was adjusted primarily for exchange rate variances and current year activity.

The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $202 million and $198 million, at April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, of which approximately $130 million and $20 million, respectively, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate, net of resulting changes to valuation allowances.

Based on the potential outcome of the Company’s global tax examinations or the expiration of the statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will change within the next 12 months. The associated net tax impact on the effective tax rate, exclusive of valuation allowance changes, is estimated to be in the range of a $50 million tax charge to a $125 million tax benefit, with cash payments in the range of $0 to $100 million.

Table of Contents

The Company has audits pending in several tax jurisdictions. Although the final resolution of the Company’s global tax disputes is uncertain, based on current information, in the opinion of the Company’s management, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, an unfavorable resolution of the Company’s global tax disputes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in the periods in which the matters are ultimately resolved.

     $9         $39   

For the three months ended April 2, 2011, the Company granted 0.6 million shares of restricted stock and RSUs and 2.6 million stock options. The total compensation expense related to the shares of restricted stock and RSUs was $23.6 million, net of estimated forfeitures. The total compensation expense related to stock options was $29.3 million, net of estimated forfeitures. The expense will be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 3 years.

Following the completion of the Distribution on January 4, 2011, 3.8 million unvested RSUs and 8.0 million stock options held by the employees of Motorola Mobility were cancelled.

All RSUs and stock options remaining with Motorola Solutions after the Distribution were adjusted to reflect the Distribution and the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares covered by, and the exercise price of, all vested and unvested stock options was adjusted to reflect the change in the Company’s stock price immediately following the Distribution and Reverse Stock Split by:

 

   

Multiplying the number of shares subject to each stock option grant by .238089 (“the Motorola Adjustment Factor”) and rounding down to the next whole share; and

 

   

Dividing the exercise price per share for each such stock option grant by the Motorola Adjustment Factor and rounding up to the penny.

The number of RSUs immediately following the Distribution and Reverse Stock Split was calculated by multiplying the number of shares subject to each such grant by the Motorola Adjustment Factor and rounding down to the next whole share.

Upon the completed divestiture of the Networks business on April 29, 2011, approximately 1.4 million unvested RSUs and 0.2 million unvested stock options were cancelled.

 

9. Fair Value Measurements

The Company holds certain fixed income securities, equity securities and derivatives, which must be measured using the fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies. The guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to each measurement are observable or unobservable.

 

17


Table of Contents

Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about current market conditions. The prescribed fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies are as follows:

Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques, in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities by level in the fair value hierarchy as of April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

Sales of Receivables

As of April 2, 2011, the Company had a $200 million revolving receivable sales facility, maturing June 2011, for the sale of accounts receivable, which was fully available. At December 31, 2010, the Company had a $200 million committed revolving credit facility for the sale of accounts receivable, which was fully available. The initial cash proceeds received by the Company for the sale of these receivables is capped at the lower of $200 million or eligible receivables less reserves.

The Company uses an internally developed credit risk rating system for establishing customer credit limits. This system is aligned and comparable to the rating systems utilized by independent rating agencies.

The Company policy for valuing the allowance for credit losses is on an individual review basis. All customer financing receivables with past due balances greater than 90 days are reviewed for collectability. The value of impairment is calculated based on the net present value of anticipated future cash streams from the customer.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal

The Company is a defendant in various suits, claims and investigations that arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, an unfavorable resolution could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in the periods in which the matters are ultimately resolved.

Other

The Company is a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which it is obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Some of these obligations arise as a result of divestitures of the Company’s assets or businesses and require the Company to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from the settlement of these pending obligations. The total amount of indemnification under these types of provisions is $251 million, of which the Company accrued $8 million at April 2, 2011 for potential claims under these provisions.

In addition, the Company may provide indemnifications for losses that result from the breach of general warranties contained in certain commercial and intellectual property agreements. Historically, the Company has not made significant payments under these agreements. However, there is an increasing risk in relation to patent indemnities given the current legal climate.

In indemnification cases, payment by the Company is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the Company to challenge the other party’s claims. Further, the Company’s obligations under these agreements for indemnification based on breach of representations and warranties are generally limited in terms of duration, and for amounts not in excess of the contract value, and, in some instances, the Company may have recourse against first parties for certain payments made by the Company.

In addition, pursuant to the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement and certain other agreements with Motorola Mobility, Motorola Mobility agreed to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities, and the Company agreed to indemnify Motorola Mobility for certain liabilities, in each case for uncapped amounts.

13. Reorganization of Businesses

The Company maintains a formal Involuntary Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”), which permits the Company to offer eligible employees severance benefits based on years of service and employment grade level in the event that employment is involuntarily terminated as a result of a reduction-in-force or restructuring. The Company recognizes termination benefits based on formulas per the Severance Plan at the point in time that future settlement is probable and can be reasonably estimated based on estimates prepared at the time a restructuring plan is approved by management. Exit costs consist of future minimum lease payments on vacated facilities and other contractual terminations. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates its accruals for employee separation and exit costs to ensure the accruals are still appropriate. In certain circumstances, accruals are no longer needed because of efficiencies in carrying out the plans or because employees previously identified for separation resigned from the Company and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were initiated. In these cases, the Company reverses accruals through the condensed consolidated statements of operations where the original charges were recorded when it is determined they are no longer needed.

2011 Charges

During the three months ended April 2, 2011, the Company recorded net reorganization of business charges of $8 million, including $3 million of charges in Costs of sales and $5 million of charges under Other charges in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Included in the aggregate $8 million are charges of $9 million for employee separation costs, partially offset by $1 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed.

The following table displays the net charges incurred by segment:

Exit Costs

At January 1, 2011, the Company had an accrual of $17 million for exit costs attributable to lease terminations. During the first quarter of 2011, the activity relating to exit cost was de minimus. The remaining accrual of $17 million, which is included in Accrued liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at April 2, 2011, primarily represents future cash payments for lease termination obligations that are expected to be paid over a number of years.

Employee Separation Costs

At January 1, 2011, the Company had an accrual of $50 million for employee separation costs, representing the severance costs for: (i) severed employees who began receiving payments in 2010, and

 

22


Table of Contents

(ii) approximately 1,000 employees who began receiving payments in 2011. The 2011 additional charges of $9 million represent severance costs for approximately an additional 100 employees, of whom substantially all were indirect employees. The adjustments of $1 million reflects reversals of accruals no longer needed.

During the first three months of 2011, approximately 400 employees, of whom substantially all were indirect employees, were separated from the Company. The $14 million used in 2011 reflects cash payments to separated employees. The remaining accrual of $44 million, which is included in Accrued liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at April 2, 2011, is expected to be paid, generally, within one year to: (i) severed employees who have already begun to receive payments, and (ii) approximately 100 employees to be separated in 2011.

2010 Charges

During the first three months of 2010, approximately 200 employees, of whom substantially all were indirect employees, were separated from the Company, resulting in charges of $6 million. These charges were offset by adjustments of $6 million for accruals not used. During the first three months of 2010, $2 million of cash was used to reduce the liabilities. At April 3, 2010, the Company had accruals of $12 million and $17 million, for exit costs attributable to lease terminations and employee separation costs, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This commentary should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements of Motorola Solutions, Inc (“Motorola Solutions” or the “Company”) for the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010, as well as the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Executive Overview

Recent Developments

On July 19, 2010, the Company announced an agreement to sell certain assets and liabilities of its Networks business to Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. (“NSN”) (the “Transaction”). On April 13, 2011, the Company announced that it and NSN amended this agreement to, among other things, reduce the cash portion of the purchase price from $1.2 billion to $975 million. On April 29, 2011, the Company completed the Transaction, as amended. Based on the terms and conditions of the amended sale agreement, certain assets including $150 million of accounts receivable and the Company’s iDEN infrastructure business are excluded from the Transaction. A significant amount of the cash proceeds will be received in the U.S. We expect the cash proceeds, including the $150 million of accounts receivable to be collected after-close, to be approximately $1.0 billion, net of taxes, assignment fees and other transaction-related fees and expenses. The results of operations of the portions of the Networks business included in the Transaction are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

On January 4, 2011, the distribution by the Company of all the common stock of Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. (“Motorola Mobility”) was completed (the “Distribution”). Immediately following the Distribution, the Company changed its name from Motorola, Inc. to Motorola Solutions, Inc. The equity distribution was structured to be tax-free to Motorola Solutions and its stockholders for U.S. tax purposes (other than with respect to any cash received in lieu of fractional shares). The historical financial results of Motorola Mobility are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Reporting Segments

As of the first quarter of 2011, Motorola Solutions will now report financial results for the following two segments:

 

   

Government: Our government segment includes sales from two-way radios and public safety systems. Service revenues included in the government segment are primarily those associated with the design, installation, maintenance and optimization of equipment for public safety networks. In the first quarter of 2011, the segment’s net sales were $1.2 billion, representing 63% of the Company’s consolidated net sales.

 

   

Enterprise: Our enterprise segment includes sales of enterprise mobile computing devices, scanning devices, wireless broadband systems, RFID data capture solutions and iDEN infrastructure. Service revenues included in the enterprise segment are primarily maintenance contracts associated with the above products. In the first quarter of 2011, the segment’s net sales were $695 million, representing 37% of the Company’s consolidated net sales.

First Quarter Summary

 

 

Our net sales were $1.9 billion in the first quarter of 2011, up 8% compared to net sales of $1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2010.

 

 

We had operating earnings of $170 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to operating earnings of $120 million in the first quarter of 2010. Operating margin was 9.0% of net sales in the first quarter of 2011, compared to 6.9% of net sales in the first quarter of 2010.

 

 

We had earnings from continuing operations, net of tax, of $365 million, or $1.06 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2011, compared to earnings from continuing operations, net of tax, of $97 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2010. The increase in earnings from continuing operations, net of tax, was primarily driven by a $244 million tax benefit for the reversal of a significant portion of the valuation allowance established on the U.S. deferred tax assets.

 

 

We generated cash from operating activities of $231 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $59 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Highlights for each of our segments are as follows:

 

 

Government: Net sales were $1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 5% compared to net sales of $1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2010. On a geographic basis, net sales increased in North America, Latin America and Asia and decreased in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region (“EMEA”) compared to the year-ago quarter.

 

 

Enterprise: Net sales were $695 million in the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 14% compared to net sales of $608 million in the first quarter of 2010. On a geographic basis, net sales increased in all regions compared to the year-ago quarter.

Looking Forward

Our Government segment remains resilient with continued growth in the first quarter. Although the government budget environment remains challenging in the U.S. in particular, there are signs of improvement as tax receipts continue to increase and approach 2008 levels. Our customers continue to prioritize funding of their public safety communication needs, and we remain focused on helping them find ways to fund system upgrades, improve interoperability and meet spectrum narrow-banding requirements. In addition, governments are increasingly examining their operations for the productivity and efficiency improvements that our solutions enable.

Enterprise demonstrated sustained momentum in the first quarter with continued sales growth driven by retailers that continue to invest in technology to drive sales growth. Our solutions have high return on investment and with increasing demands for real-time information and rapid increases in knowledge workers, we expect continued sales growth. Our iDEN sales, included in the Enterprise segment, increased in the first quarter compared to the year ago quarter, although we still expect a full year decline for this business.

Private public safety broadband networks based on the LTE standard are an important next generation tool for our first-responder customers. There is increasing support of our U.S. first-responder customers’ position to dedicate the 700Mhz D-Block to public safety, which would efficiently and effectively double the spectrum available for a public safety grade broadband data network. We have been investing in R&D for next generation public safety, and our expertise in both public and private networks makes us uniquely qualified to provide LTE solutions. The development of this market is an important part of our overall growth strategy for government and public safety.

Our supply chain team has been working with our supplier partners in Japan to assess the impact following the earthquake and tsunami. Together, we have implemented a number of contingency plans. However, we expect some disruptions in supply in the second quarter of 2011 and possibly beyond, but we will continue to assess and attempt to mitigate the impact of such disruptions.

Finally, closing the sale of our Networks business is an important accomplishment that helps us improve our capital structure and strengthen our focus on mission critical communication solutions for public safety and enterprise.

Results of Operations—Three months ended April 2, 2011 compared to three months ended April 3, 2010

Net Sales

Net sales were $1.9 billion in the first quarter of 2011, up 8% compared to net sales of $1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2010. The increase in net sales reflects: (i) an $87 million, or 14%, increase in net sales in the Enterprise segment, and (ii) a $57 million, or 5%, increase in net sales in the Government segment.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was $942 million, or 50.0% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $853 million, or 49.0% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2010. The increase in gross margin reflects higher gross margins in both segments, primarily driven by the increase in net sales and product mix. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 reflects an

 

28


Table of Contents

increase in gross margin percentage in the Government segment and a slight increase in the Enterprise segment. The Company’s overall gross margin as a percentage of net sales is impacted by the proportion of overall net sales generated by its various businesses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased 3% to $468 million, or 24.8% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $454 million, or 26.1% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2010. The increase in SG&A expenses reflects higher SG&A expenses in the Government segment and slightly lower SG&A expenses in the Enterprise segment. The increase in the Government segment was primarily due to increased employee benefit-related expenses and increased selling and marketing expenses related to the increase in net sales, partially offset by savings from cost-reduction initiatives. The slight decrease in the Enterprise segment was primarily due to savings from cost-reduction initiatives, partially offset by increased selling and marketing expenses related to the increase in net sales and increased employee benefit-related expenses. The increases in employee benefit-related expenses are primarily due to an increase in pension-related expenses and the reinstatement of the Company’s 401(k) matching contributions. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased in the Enterprise segment and increased in the Government segment.

Research and Development Expenditures

Research and development (“R&D”) expenditures decreased 3% to $249 million, or 13.2% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $258 million, or 14.8% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2010. The decrease in R&D expenditures reflects lower R&D expenditures in both segments. The decrease in R&D expenditures in both segments were primarily due to savings from cost-reduction initiatives, partially offset by higher developmental engineering expenditures for new product development and investment in next-generation technologies and increased employee benefit-related expenses. R&D expenditures as a percentage of net sales decreased in both segments. The Company participates in very competitive industries with constant changes in technology and, accordingly, the Company continues to believe that a strong commitment to R&D is required to drive long-term growth.

Other Charges

The Company recorded net charges of $55 million in Other charges in the first quarter of 2011, compared to net charges of $21 million in the first quarter of 2010. The net charges in the first quarter of 2011 included: (i) $50 million of charges relating to the amortization of intangibles, and (ii) $5 million of net reorganization of business charges. The charges in the first quarter of 2010 included: (i) $51 million of charges relating to the amortization of intangibles, partially offset by: (i) a $29 million gain related to a legal settlement, and (ii) $1 million of net reorganization of business charges included in Other charges. The net reorganization of business charges are discussed in further detail in the “Reorganization of Businesses” section.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense was $20 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to net interest expense of $33 million in the first quarter of 2010. Net interest expense in the first quarter of 2011 included interest expense of $34 million, partially offset by interest income of $14 million. Net interest expense in the first quarter of 2010 includes interest expense of $60 million, partially offset by interest income of $27 million. The decrease in net interest expense in the first quarter of 2011 is primarily attributable to a decline in interest expense due to lower average debt outstanding during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 and the reversal of an interest accrual that was no longer needed. Additionally, interest income decreased due to lower average cash and cash equivalents, primarily due to the $3.2 billion contribution to Motorola Mobility, and Sigma Fund balances during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010.

Gains on Sales of Investments and Businesses

Gains on sales of investments and businesses were $18 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to gains on sales of investments and businesses of $7 million in the first quarter of 2010. In the first quarters of 2011 and 2010, the net gains were primarily comprised of gains related to sales of certain of the Company’s equity investments.

Other

Net Other income was $5 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to net Other income of $15 million in the first quarter of 2010. The net Other income in the first quarter of 2011 was primarily comprised of $5 million of foreign currency gains. The net Other income in the first quarter of 2010 was primarily comprised of: (i) a $16 million gain from Sigma Fund investments, and (ii) $7 million of foreign currency gains, partially offset by $9 million of investment impairments.

Effective Tax Rate

The Company recorded $186 million of net tax benefits in the first quarter of 2011, resulting in a negative effective tax rate on continuing operations, compared to $13 million of net tax expense in the first quarter of 2010, resulting in an effective tax rate of 12%. The Company’s negative effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2011 was primarily related to the recording of a $244 million tax benefit for the reversal of a significant portion of the valuation allowance established on the U.S. deferred tax assets. The valuation allowances on the Company’s deferred tax assets are discussed further in Note 6, “Income Taxes,” of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2010 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits for facts that had indicated the extent to which certain tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained, partially offset by a non-cash tax charge related to the Medicare Part D subsidy tax law change enacted during the period.

The Company’s effective tax rate will change from period to period based on non-recurring events, such as the settlement of income tax audits, changes in valuation allowances and the tax impact of significant unusual or extraordinary items, as well as recurring factors including changes in the geographic mix of income before taxes and effects of various global income tax strategies.

Earnings from Continuing Operations

The Company had net earnings from continuing operations before income taxes of $173 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared with net earnings from continuing operations before income taxes of $109 million in the first quarter of 2010. After taxes, and excluding Loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, the Company had net earnings from continuing operations of $365 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011, compared to a net earnings from continuing operations of $97 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2010.

The increase in net earnings from continuing operations was primarily driven by a $244 million tax benefit for the reversal of a significant portion of the valuation allowance established on the U.S. deferred tax assets and an $89 million increase in gross margin, partially offset by a $34 million increase in Other charges.

Earnings from Discontinued Operations

In the first quarter of 2011, the Company had after-tax earnings from discontinued operations of $132 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, substantially from the operations of the Networks business. In the first

quarter of 2010, the Company had an after-tax loss from discontinued operations of $28 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, from Motorola Mobility and the Networks business.

Segment Information

The following commentary should be read in conjunction with the financial results of each reporting segment for the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010 as detailed in Note 12, “Segment Information,” of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Government Segment

For the first quarter of 2011, the segment’s net sales represented 63% of the Company’s consolidated net sales, compared to 65% in the first quarter of 2010.

Three months ended April 2, 2011 compared to three months ended April 3, 2010

In the first quarter of 2011, the segment’s net sales were $1.2 billion, a 5% increase compared to net sales of $1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2010. The 5% increase in net sales in the Government segment reflects an increase in radio sales. On a geographic basis, net sales increased in North America, Latin America and Asia and decreased in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region compared to the year-ago quarter. Net sales in North America continued to comprise a significant portion of the segment’s business, accounting for approximately 55% of the segment’s net sales in both the first quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2010.

The segment had operating earnings of $104 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to operating earnings of $92 million in the first quarter of 2010. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to an increase in gross margin, driven by the 5% increase in net sales, and a decrease in R&D expenditures, primarily due to savings from cost-reduction initiatives, partially offset by higher developmental engineering expenditures for new product development and investment in next-generation technologies. The previously discussed factors were partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses, primarily due to increased employee benefit-related expenses and marketing expenses related to the increase in net sales, partially offset by savings from cost-reduction initiatives. As a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010, gross margin increased, SG&A expenses increased, and R&D expenditures decreased.

Enterprise Segment

For the first quarter of 2011, the segment’s net sales represented 37% of the Company’s consolidated net sales, compared to 35% in the first quarter of 2010.

an increase in mobile computing, scanning devices and iDEN sales, partially offset by a decrease in wireless network solutions. On a geographic basis, net sales increased in all regions compared to the year-ago quarter. Net sales in North America continued to comprise a significant portion of the segment’s business, accounting for approximately 43% and 48% of the segment’s net sales in the first quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2010, respectively.

The segment had operating earnings of $66 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to operating earnings of $28 million in the first quarter of 2010. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to: (i) an increase in gross margin, driven by the 14% increase in net sales, (ii) a decrease in R&D expenditures, primarily due to savings from cost-reduction initiatives, partially offset by higher developmental engineering expenditures for new product development and investment in next-generation technologies, and (iii) a slight decrease in SG&A expenses primarily due to savings from cost-reduction initiatives, partially offset by increased selling and marketing expenses related to the increase in net sales and increased employee benefit-related expenses. As a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010, gross margin increased, SG&A expenses increased, and R&D expenditures decreased.

Reorganization of Businesses

During the first three months of 2011, the Company implemented various productivity improvement plans aimed at achieving long term, sustainable profitability by driving efficiencies and reducing operating costs. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded net reorganization of business charges of $8 million, relating to the separation of 100 employees, of whom substantially all were indirect employees. These charges included $3 million of Costs of sales and $5 million of charges under Other charges in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Included in the aggregate net reorganization of business charges of $8 million are charges of $9 million for employee separation costs, partially offset by $1 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company’s net reorganization of business charges were de minimus.

The Company expects to realize cost-saving benefits of approximately $6 million during the remaining nine months of 2011 from the plans that were initiated during the first quarter of 2011, representing: (i) $4 million of savings in SG&A expenses, and (ii) $2 million of savings in Costs of sales. Beyond 2011, the Company expects the reorganization plans initiated during the first quarter of 2011 to provide annualized cost savings of approximately $10 million, representing: (i) $8 million of savings in SG&A expenses, and (iii) $2 million of savings in Cost of sales.

The following table displays the net charges incurred by business segment:

Cash payments for employee severance and exit costs in connection with the reorganization of business plans were $14 million in the first quarter of 2011, as compared to $19 million in the first quarter of 2010. Of the $61 million of reorganization of businesses accruals at April 2, 2011, $44 million relate to employee separation costs and are expected to be paid in 2011. The remaining $17 million in accruals relate to lease termination obligations that are expected to be paid over a number of years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company decreased the aggregate of our: (i) cash and cash equivalents balances, primarily due to the $3.2 billion contribution to Motorola Mobility, (ii) Sigma Fund and short-term investments, and (iii) long-term Sigma Fund, by $2.7 billion from $8.9 billion as of December 31, 2010 to $6.2 billion as of April 2, 2011. The aggregate of our: (i) notes payable and the current portion of long-term debt, and (ii) long-term debt, was $2.7 billion at both April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

As highlighted in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company’s liquidity and available capital resources are impacted by four key components: (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) operating activities, (iii) investing activities, and (iv) financing activities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents (which are highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less) were $2.8 billion at April 2, 2011, compared to $4.2 billion at December 31, 2010. At April 2, 2011, $416 million of this amount was held in the U.S. and $2.3 billion was held by the Company or its subsidiaries in other countries. At April 2, 2011, restricted cash was $65 million (including $60 million held in the U.S.), compared to $226 million (including $166 million held outside the U.S.) at December 31, 2010.

The Company continues to analyze and review various repatriation strategies to continue to efficiently repatriate funds. During the first three months of 2011, the Company repatriated $355 million in funds, including a $75 million loan repayment, to the U.S. from international jurisdictions with minimal cash tax cost. The Company has approximately $2.9 billion of earnings in foreign subsidiaries that are not permanently reinvested and may be repatriated without additional U.S. federal income tax charges to the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, given the U.S. Federal tax provisions previously accrued on undistributed earnings and the utilization of available foreign tax credits. On a cash basis, these repatriations from the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries could require the payment of additional foreign taxes. While the Company regularly repatriates funds and a portion of offshore funds can be repatriated with minimal adverse financial impact, repatriation of some of these funds could be subject to delay for local country approvals and could have potential adverse tax consequences.

On January 4, 2011, the Distribution of Motorola Mobility from Motorola Solutions was completed. Immediately prior to the Distribution, the Company contributed $3.2 billion of cash and cash equivalents to Motorola Mobility and has an obligation to fund an additional $300 million, upon receipt of cash distributions as a result of future capital reductions of an overseas subsidiary. The contribution is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flow in the first quarter of 2011.

Operating Activities

In the first quarter of 2011, the cash provided by operating activities was $231 million, compared to $59 million of cash used for operating activities in the first quarter of 2010. The primary contributors to the cash provided in the first quarter of 2011 were: (i) income from continuing operations (adjusted for net non-cash charges) of $349 million, and (ii) a $175 million decrease in accounts receivable, partially offset by a $221 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Accounts Receivable: The Company’s net accounts receivable were $1.4 billion at April 2, 2011, compared to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2010. The Company’s businesses sell their products in a variety of markets throughout the world and payment terms can vary by market type and geographic location. Accordingly, the Company’s levels of net accounts receivable can be impacted by the timing and level of sales that are made by its various businesses and by the geographic locations in which those sales are made. See related discussion below under “Sales of Receivables.”

Table of Contents

Inventory: The Company’s net inventory was $521 million at both April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Inventory management continues to be an area of focus as the Company balances the need to maintain strategic inventory levels to ensure competitive delivery performance to its customers against the risk of inventory excess and obsolescence due to rapidly changing technology and customer spending requirements.

Accounts Payable: The Company’s accounts payable were $560 million at April 2, 2011, compared to $731 million at December 31, 2010. The Company buys products in a variety of markets throughout the world and payment terms can vary by market type and geographic location. Accordingly, the Company’s levels of accounts payable can be impacted by the timing and level of purchases made by its various businesses and by the geographic locations in which those purchases are made.

Benefit Plan Contributions: During the first three months of 2011, the Company contributed $20 million to its non-U.S. plans and $50 million to its U.S. Regular Pension Plan.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2011, compared to net cash used of $115 million in the first quarter of 2010. This $1.4 million change was primarily due to the increase in cash received from net sales of Sigma Fund investments.

Sigma Fund: The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries invest most of their U.S. dollar-denominated cash in a fund (the “Sigma Fund”) that allows the Company to efficiently manage its cash around the world. The Company had net proceeds from sales of $1.2 billion of Sigma Fund investments in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $116 million in net purchases of Sigma Fund investments in the first quarter of 2010. The aggregate fair value of Sigma Fund investments was $3.5 billion at April 2, 2011 (including $1.7 billion held by the Company or its subsidiaries outside the U.S.), compared to $4.7 billion at December 31, 2010 (including $1.9 billion held by the Company or its subsidiaries outside the U.S.).

At April 2, 2011, $3.4 billion of the Sigma Fund investments were classified as current in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, compared to $4.7 billion at December 31, 2010. The weighted average maturity of the Sigma Fund investments classified as current was 1 month (excluding cash of $616 million and defaulted securities) at April 2, 2011, compared to 1 month (excluding cash of $2.4 billion and defaulted securities) at December 31, 2010. A majority of the Sigma Fund’s cash balance at December 31, 2010 was reserved for the Contribution to Motorola Mobility. At April 2, 2011, approximately 99% of the Sigma Fund investments were invested in cash and U.S. government, agency and government-sponsored enterprise obligations, compared to 99% at December 31, 2010. This reflects a strategic decision by the Company to prioritize capital preservation rather than investment income.

During the three months ended April 2, 2011, the Company recorded a de minimus loss from the Sigma Fund investments in Other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, compared to a gain from the Sigma Fund investments of $16 million during the three months ended April 3, 2010.

Securities with a maturity greater than 12 months and defaulted securities have been classified as non-current in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. At April 2, 2011, $29 million of the Sigma Fund investments were classified as non-current, and the weighted average maturity of the Sigma Fund investments classified as non-current (excluding defaulted securities) was 219 months. At December 31, 2010, $70 million of the Sigma Fund investments were classified as non-current, and the weighted average maturity of the Sigma Fund investments classified as non-current (excluding defaulted securities) was 164 months.

The Company continuously assesses its cash needs and continues to believe that the balance of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and investments in the Sigma Fund classified as current are more than adequate to meet its current operating requirements over the next twelve months.

Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures were $27 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $37 million in the first quarter of 2010. The Company’s emphasis when making capital expenditure decisions is to focus on strategic investments driven by customer demand and new design capability.

Sales of Investments and Businesses: The Company received $52 million in net proceeds from the sales of investments and businesses in the first quarter of 2011, compared to proceeds of $18 million in the first quarter of 2010. The proceeds in the first quarter of 2011 were primarily comprised of net proceeds received in connection with sales of: (i) certain of the Company’s equity investments, and (ii) the Israel-based module business. The proceeds in the first quarter of 2010 were primarily comprised of net proceeds received in connection with sales of certain of the Company’s equity investments.

Net cash used for financing activities was $2.9 billion in the first quarter of 2011, compared to net cash provided of $456 million in the first quarter of 2010. Cash used for financing activities in the first quarter of 2011 was primarily comprised of a $3.2 billion cash contribution relating to the Distribution of Motorola Mobility, partially offset by $211 million of distributions from discontinued operations and $70 million of net cash received from the issuance of common stock in connection with the Company’s employee stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan.

The three largest U.S. national ratings agencies rate the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt investment grade. The Company believes that it will be able to maintain sufficient access to the capital markets at its current ratings. Any future disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the capital markets may result in higher funding costs for the Company and adversely affect its ability to access funds.

The Company may from time to time seek to retire certain of its outstanding debt through open market cash purchases, privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

Credit Facilities

During the first quarter 2011, the Company terminated its $1.5 billion domestic syndicated revolving credit facility scheduled to mature in December 2011 and entered into a new $1.5 billion unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility (the “2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement”) scheduled to mature on June 30, 2014. The 2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes a provision pursuant to which the Company can increase the aggregate credit facility size up to a maximum of $2.0 billion by adding lenders or having existing lenders increase their commitments. The Company must comply with certain customary covenants, including maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage ratios as defined in the 2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of April 2, 2011. The Company has no outstanding borrowing under the 2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement.

Other Contingencies

Potential Contractual Damage Claims in Excess of Underlying Contract Value:    In certain circumstances, our businesses may enter into contracts with customers pursuant to which the damages that could be claimed by the other party for failed performance might exceed the revenue the Company receives from the contract. Contracts with these types of uncapped damage provisions are fairly rare, but individual contracts could still represent meaningful risk. There is a possibility that a damage claim by a counterparty to one of these contracts could result in expenses to the Company that are far in excess of the revenue received from the counterparty in connection with the contract.

Table of Contents

Indemnification Provisions:    In addition, the Company may provide indemnifications for losses that result from the breach of general warranties contained in certain commercial, intellectual property and divestiture agreements. Historically, the Company has not made significant payments under these agreements, nor have there been significant claims asserted against the Company. However, there is an increasing risk in relation to intellectual property indemnities given the current legal climate. In indemnification cases, payment by the Company is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the Company to challenge the other party’s claims. Further, the Company’s obligations under divestiture agreements for indemnification based on breach of representations and warranties are generally limited in terms of duration, typically not more than 24 months, and for amounts not in excess of the contract value, and in some instances the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by the Company.

Legal Matters:    The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits, claims and actions, which arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, an unfavorable resolution could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations in the periods in which the matters are ultimately resolved.

In addition, pursuant to the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement and certain other agreements with Motorola Mobility, Motorola Mobility agreed to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities, and the Company agreed to indemnify Motorola Mobility for certain liabilities, in each case for uncapped amounts.

Significant Accounting Policies

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, current economic and industry conditions and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. This forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following significant accounting policies require significant judgment and estimates:

 

   

Revenue recognition

 

   

Inventory valuation

 

   

Income taxes

 

   

Valuation of the Sigma Fund and investment portfolios

 

   

Restructuring activities

 

   

Retirement-related benefits

 

   

Valuation and recoverability of goodwill and long-lived assets

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Derivative Financial Instruments

Foreign Currency Risk

At April 2, 2011, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $1.0 billion, compared to $1.5 billion outstanding at December 31, 2010. The decrease in outstanding contracts is primarily related to the Distribution of Motorola Mobility. Management believes that these financial instruments should not subject the Company to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should generally offset losses and gains on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions, except for the ineffective portion of the instruments, which are charged to Other within Other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table shows the five largest net notional amounts of the positions to buy or sell foreign currency as of April 2, 2011 and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2010:

Part II—Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The proceedings referenced below refer to Motorola, Inc., our former name, and we have not changed the court descriptions to refer to Motorola Solutions, Inc.

Howell v. Motorola, Inc., et al.

A class action, Howell v. Motorola, Inc., et al., was filed against Motorola and various of its directors, officers and employees in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (“Illinois District Court”) on July 21, 2003, alleging breach of fiduciary duty and violations of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”). The complaint alleged that the defendants had improperly permitted participants in the Motorola 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) to purchase or hold shares of common stock of Motorola because the price of Motorola’s stock was artificially inflated by a failure to disclose vendor financing to Telsim Mobil Telekomunikasyon Hizmetleri A.S. (“Telsim”) in connection with the sale of telecommunications equipment by Motorola. Telsim had subsequently defaulted on the payment of approximately $2 billion of such vendor financing, approximately half of which the Company has recovered to date. The plaintiff sought to represent a class of participants in the Plan and sought an unspecified amount of damages. On September 30, 2005, the Illinois District Court dismissed the second amended complaint filed on October 15, 2004 (the “Howell Complaint”). Three new purported lead plaintiffs subsequently intervened in the case, and filed a motion for class certification seeking to represent a class of Plan participants. The class as certified includes all Plan participants for whose individual accounts the Plan purchased and/or held shares of Motorola common stock from May 16, 2000 through May 14, 2001, with certain exclusions. The court granted leave to defendants to appeal the class certification and granted leave to lead plaintiff Howell to appeal an earlier dismissal of his individual claim. Each party filed those appeals. On June 17, 2009, the Illinois District Court granted summary judgment in favor of all defendants on all counts. On June 25, 2009, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals (the “Seventh Circuit”) dismissed as moot defendants’ class certification appeal and stayed Howell’s appeal. On July 14, 2009, plaintiffs appealed the summary judgment decision. By order of the Seventh Circuit on August 17, 2009, Howell’s individual appeal and plaintiffs’ appeal of the summary judgment decision (now cited as Howell v. Motorola, Inc. et al. and Lingis et al. v. Rick Dorazil et al.) were consolidated with Spano et al. v. Boeing Company et al. and Beesley et al. v. International Paper Company for argument and decision. On January 21, 2011, the Seventh Circuit affirmed the Illinois District Court’s summary judgment decision in favor of Motorola and denied Howell’s individual appeal in all respects. On April 21, 2011, plaintiffs filed a petition for certiorari to the United States Supreme Court in Lingis et al. v. Rick Dorazil et al., seeking the Supreme Court’s review of a single question regarding the standard for liability of ERISA plan fiduciaries for failure to disclose information. The petition for certiorari does not challenge any of the Seventh Circuit’s other holdings in Lingis, nor its decision in Howell v. Motorola, Inc. et al.

Silverman Federal Securities Lawsuits and Related Derivative Matters

A purported class action lawsuit on behalf of the purchasers of Motorola securities between July 19, 2006 and January 5, 2007, Silverman v. Motorola, Inc., et al., was filed against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors of the Company on August 9, 2007, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as, in the case of the individual defendants, the control person provisions of the Securities Exchange Act. The factual assertions in the complaint consist primarily of the allegation that the defendants knowingly made incorrect statements concerning Motorola’s projected revenues for the third and fourth quarter of 2006. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and other relief relating to the purported inflation in the price of Motorola shares during the class period. An amended complaint was filed December 20, 2007, and Motorola moved to dismiss that complaint in February 2008. On September 24, 2008, the district court granted this motion in part to dismiss Section 10(b) claims as to two individuals and certain claims related to

Table of Contents

forward looking statements, among other things, and denied the motion in part. On August 25, 2009, the district court granted plaintiff’s motion for class certification. On March 10, 2010, the district court granted plaintiffs motion to file a second amended complaint which adds allegations concerning Motorola’s accounting and disclosures for certain transactions entered into in the third quarter of 2006. On February 16, 2011, the district court granted summary judgment to dismiss the remaining claims as to two individual defendants and the Section 10(b) claim as to a third individual, and denied the motion in part. On March 21, 2011, Motorola filed a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the remaining claims against the Company and other individual defendants.

In addition, on August 24, 2007, two lawsuits were filed as purportedly derivative actions on behalf of Motorola, Williams v. Zander, et al., and Cinotto v. Zander, et al., in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors. These complaints make similar factual allegations to those made in the Silverman complaint and assert causes of action for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. The complaints seek unspecified damages associated with the alleged loss to the Company deriving from the defendants’ actions and demand that Motorola make a number of changes to its internal procedures. An amended complaint was filed on December 14, 2007. On January 27, 2009, Motorola’s motion to dismiss the amended complaint was granted in part and denied in part.

On March 29, 2010, a purported derivative action lawsuit on behalf of Motorola, Goldfein v. Brown, et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the company and certain of its current and former officers and directors. The complaint makes substantially similar factual allegations to those made in the Williams v. Zander, et al. and Cinotto v. Zander, et al. derivative actions pending in Illinois state court and asserts causes of action for breaches of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and other relief associated with the alleged loss to the Company deriving from the defendants’ actions. On December 10, 2010 the district court granted the Defendants’ motion to dismiss and dismissed the case. Plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

St. Lucie County Fire District Firefighters’ Pension Trust Fund Securities Class Action Case and Related Derivative Matter

A purported class action lawsuit, St. Lucie County Fire District Firefighters’ Pension Fund v. Motorola, Inc., et al., was filed against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors of the Company on January 21, 2010, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint was amended on June 11, 2010, and again on December 3, 2010. The alleged class includes purchasers of Motorola securities between October 25, 2007 and January 23, 2008. The complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as, in the case of the individual defendants, the control person provisions of the Securities Exchange Act. The primary factual allegations are that the defendants knowingly or recklessly made materially misleading statements concerning Motorola’s financial projections and sales demand for Motorola phones during the class period. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and other relief relating to the purported inflation in the price of Motorola shares during the class period. On February 28, 2011, the Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss and dismissed the Second Amended Complaint in its entirety with prejudice. Plaintiffs have filed a notice of appeal with the Seventh Circuit United States Court of Appeals.

On April 2, 2010, Waber v. Dorman, et al., a purported derivative action on behalf of Motorola against certain of its current and former officers and directors, was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint was amended on July 28, 2010. The complaint makes similar factual allegations to those made in the St. Lucie complaint and asserts causes of action for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment. The Waber complaint seeks unspecified damages associated with the alleged loss to the Company deriving from the defendants’

actions. On February 23, 2011, the Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss and dismissed the Amended Complaint in its entirety with prejudice. Plaintiffs’ time to file a notice of appeal has passed.

Groussman et al. v. Motorola ERISA Class Action Cases

Two purported class action lawsuits on behalf of all participants in or beneficiaries of the Motorola 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) between July 1, 2007 and the present and whose accounts included investments in Motorola stock, Joe M. Groussman v. Motorola, Inc. et al. and Angelo W. Orlando v. Motorola, Inc. et al., were filed against the Company and certain current and former officers, directors, and employees of the Company, the Motorola 401(k) Plan Committee, the Advisory Committee of Motorola and other unnamed defendants on February 10, 2010, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. On May 20, 2010, the court ordered the cases to be consolidated. On July 16, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint. The amended complaint added as defendants additional current and former employees, the Compensation and Leadership Committee of Motorola, and the Motorola Retirement Benefits Committee, and deleted the Advisory Committee of Motorola as a defendant. The amended complaint also reduced the class period to run from July 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008. The consolidated amended complaint alleges violations of Sections 404 and 405 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The primary claims in the amended complaint are that, in connection with alleged incorrect statements concerning Motorola’s financial projections and demand for Motorola phones during the class period, various of the defendants failed to prudently and loyally manage the Plan by continuing to offer Motorola stock as a Plan investment option, failed to provide complete and accurate information regarding the performance of Motorola stock to the Plan’s participants and beneficiaries, failed to avoid conflicts of interest, and/or failed to monitor the Plan fiduciaries. The amended complaint seeks unspecified damages and other relief relating to purported losses to the Plan and individual participant accounts. On September 24, 2010, the Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint. On October 7, 2010, the court dismissed the Retirement Benefits Committee as a defendant. On January 18, 2011, the Court denied Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint. On March 14, 2011, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Class Certification, seeking certification of a class of “all persons who were participants in, or beneficiaries of, the Motorola 401(k) Plan at any time between July 1, 2007 and December 31, 2008, and whose accounts included investments in Motorola stock”, but excluding Defendants, members of their immediate families, any officer, director or partner of any Defendant, any entity in which a Defendant has a controlling interest, and the heirs, successors and assigns of the foregoing.

Microsoft Corporation v. Motorola, Inc.

On October 1, 2010, Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) filed complaints against Motorola, Inc. in the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”) and the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington (“District Court”) alleging patent infringement based on products manufactured and sold by Motorola, Inc. The ITC matter is entitled In the Matter of Mobile Devices, Associated Software, and Components Thereof (Inv. No. 337-TA-744). On October 6, 2010 and October 12, 2010, Microsoft amended the District Court and ITC complaints, respectively, to add Motorola Mobility, Inc. as a defendant. The complaints, as amended, allege infringement of claims of nine patents based on Motorola, Inc.’s and Motorola Mobility, Inc.’s manufacture, sale and/or importation of Android-based mobile phones. The ITC complaint seeks exclusion and cease and desist orders. On November 5, 2010, the ITC instituted the investigation. The District Court complaint (No. C10-01577) seeks unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief.

On November 9, 2010, Microsoft filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington (No. C10-01823) against Motorola, Inc. and Motorola Mobility, Inc. (the “Motorola Defendants”) alleging that the Motorola Defendants breached a contractual obligation to license certain patents related to 802.11 wireless networking technology and H.264 video coding technology on reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief including a declaration that the Motorola Defendants have not offered licenses to these patents to Microsoft under reasonable royalty rates, with terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination. On February 23, 2011, Microsoft amended the complaint to add General Instrument Corporation as a defendant.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The reader should carefully consider, in connection with the other information in this report, the factors discussed below, and in Part I, “Item 1A: Risk Factors” on pages 12 through 25 of the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those stated in forward-looking statements contained in this document and elsewhere.

The earthquake, tsunami and resulting ongoing problems in Japan have disrupted supply of raw materials and components from Japan, which could have a material adverse affect on our results of operations.

We contract with a number of suppliers in Japan and disruption in supply resulting from the earthquakes, tsunami and subsequent problems has resulted and may continue to result in certain of our Japanese suppliers being unable to deliver sufficient quantities of components or being unable to deliver such components in a timely manner. Certain of these suppliers are the sole source of certain components. In addition, a number of raw materials suppliers operate out of the impacted area of Japan. It is possible that our suppliers and subcontractors located outside of Japan may have their ability to make components or products adversely impacted by the unavailability of certain essential components made in Japan. If we, or our suppliers, are unable to procure sufficient quantities of components or raw materials from suppliers in Japan or other sources, it could have a material adverse affect on our results of operations.
