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 July 2, 2011 and for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011 and July 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, as well as the Company’s Form 8-K filed on May 12, 2011 to reflect: (i) the revised presentation of the Company’s segments as a result of the realignment of its operations into two segments: Government and Enterprise, and (ii) the reclassification of the historical financial results of Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. (“Motorola Mobility”) as discontinued operations. The results of operations for the three and six months ended July 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 12, 2011, the Company announced certain amendments to the Transaction. 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. During the three months ended July 2, 2011, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain related to the completion of the Transaction of $488 million, net of closing costs and an expected purchase price adjustment, to Gains on sales of investments and business, net, within the discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of July 2, 2011, regulatory approvals required to complete the Transaction in certain countries are still in-process and are expected to be completed in the second half of 2011. Until these approvals are received, the Company will maintain the assets and liabilities associated with these countries in assets and liabilities held for disposition in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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 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 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. 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.

Reverse Stock Split and Name Change

On January 4, 2011, immediately following the Distribution, 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, the Company reports financial results for the following two segments:

 

   

Government: Our Government segment includes sales of 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs,” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This new guidance is to be applied prospectively. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard will not materially affect its financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. ASU 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This new guidance is to be applied retrospectively. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard will change the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.

Share Repurchase Program: On July 28, 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that allows the Company to purchase up to $2.0 billion of its outstanding common stock through December 31, 2012, subject to market conditions.

After accelerating the amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discounts, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $81 million related to this debt tender in Other within Other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the six months ended July 3, 2010, the Company repurchased $500 million of its outstanding long-term debt for a purchase price of $477 million, excluding approximately $5 million of accrued interest, all of which occurred during the three months ended July 3, 2010. The $500 million of long-term debt repurchased included principal amounts of: (i) $65 million of the $379 million then outstanding of the 6.50% Debentures due 2025, (ii) $75 million of the $286 million then outstanding of the 6.50% Debentures due 2028, (iii) $222 million of the $446 million then outstanding of the 6.625% Senior Notes due 2037, and (iv) $138 million of the $252 million then outstanding of the 5.22% Debentures due 2097.

During the first quarter of 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 July 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 July 2, 2011, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $665 million, 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 July 2, 2011 and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2010:

Interest Rate Risk

At July 2, 2011, the Company had $2.2 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 are included in Other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the Interest Agreement was in a liability position of $3 million at both July 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Counterparty Risk

The use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk in the event of non-performance 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. As of July 2, 2011, all of the counterparties have investment grade credit ratings. The Company is not exposed to material credit risk with any single counterparty. As of July 2, 2011, the Company was exposed to an aggregate credit risk of approximately $3 million with all counterparties.

The following tables summarize the fair values and location in the condensed consolidated balance sheets of all derivative financial instruments held by the Company, including amounts held for disposition, at July 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

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 July 2, 2011 was $2.3 billion, compared to a face value of $2.2 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 July 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had valuation allowances of $283 million and $502 million, respectively, including $258 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. During the three months ended July 2, 2011, the U.S. valuation allowance was reduced by $34 million for deferred tax assets related to future capital losses that the Company expects to utilize due to the capital gain realized on the disposition of the Networks business. The U.S. valuation allowance as of July 2, 2011 relates primarily to state tax carryforwards. The valuation allowance relating to deferred tax assets of non-U.S. subsidiaries was adjusted for current year activity, exchange rate variances and a $34 million increase for loss carryforwards the Company expects to expire unutilized. 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 Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $233 million and $198 million, at July 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, of which approximately $175 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.

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.

During the three months ended July 2, 2011, the Company recognized a curtailment gain in its United Kingdom defined benefit plan, offset by a settlement loss in its Japan defined benefit plan, due to the Networks Transaction. As a result, the Company recorded a net gain of $9 million to Other charges in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

     $5         $40         $13         $79   

For the three months ended July 2, 2011, the Company granted 4.4 million and 0.5 million RSUs and stock options, respectively. The total compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, for these RSUs and stock options was $161 million and $6 million, respectively. For the six months ended July 2, 2011, the Company granted 4.9 million, 3.1 million, and 0.1 million RSUs, stock options and shares of restricted stock, respectively. The total compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, for these RSUs, stock options and shares of restricted stock was $180 million, $35 million and $4 million, respectively. 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.

In April 2011, the vesting terms of certain awards, granted to Networks employees, were modified to allow for pro rata vesting. These awards were within a few days of vesting at the time of the closing of the sale. This modification resulted in the vesting of 0.3 million RSUs and a de minimus amount of options which would not have otherwise vested, resulting in an additional compensation expense of $5.0 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011. Upon the completion of the Networks Transaction on April 29, 2011, approximately 1.3 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. 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 July 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

The Company uses an internally developed credit risk rating system for establishing customer credit limits. This system is aligned with 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. The Company did not have any financing receivables past due over 90 days as of July 2, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

At July 2, 2011, long-term receivables included an impaired loan of $49 million with a related reserve for credit losses of $5 million. The Company recognizes interest income on impaired loans on a cash basis with cash receipts recorded as interest income when received. The average recorded investment in this impaired loan during both the three and six months ended July 2, 2011 was $48 million. Interest income recognized during the period the loan was impaired was de minimus.

 

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 July 2, 2011 for potential claims under these provisions.

 

23


Table of Contents

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 second 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.

During the three months ended July 2, 2011, the Company recorded $48 million of net charges related to legal matters to Other charges in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The net charges primarily related to a contingent reserve for a suit in which the Company has assessed the likelihood of having to pay as probable.

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

Table of Contents

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 July 2, 2011, the Company recorded net reorganization of business charges of $17 million, primarily under Other charges in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Included in the aggregate $17 million are charges of $13 million for exit costs and $5 million for employee separation costs, partially offset by $1 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed.

During the six months ended July 2, 2011, the Company recorded net reorganization of business charges of $25 million, including $3 million of charges in Costs of sales and $22 million of charges under Other charges in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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 and six months ended July 2, 2011 and July 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, as well as the Company’s Form 8-K filed on May 12, 2011 to reflect: (i) the revised presentation of the Company’s segments as a result of the realignment of its operations into two segments: Government and Enterprise, and (ii) the reclassification of the historical financial results of Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. (“Motorola Mobility”) as discontinued operations.

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 12, 2011, the Company announced certain amendments to the Transaction. 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. Based on the terms and conditions of the Transaction, the sale is subject to a purchase price adjustment that is contingent upon the review of final assets and liabilities transferred to NSN and is based on the change in net assets from the original agreed upon sale date. The Company expects to settle the purchase price adjustment with NSN in the second half of 2011.

During the three months ended July 2, 2011, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain related to the completion of the Transaction of $488 million, net of closing costs and the expected purchase price adjustment, to Gains on sales of investments and business, net, within the discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The cash proceeds, including the $150 million of accounts receivable collected after the Transaction closed, were $1.0 billion, net of taxes, assignment fees, the expected purchase price adjustment and other transaction-related fees and expenses. A significant amount of the cash proceeds were received in the U.S. As of July 2, 2011, regulatory approvals required to complete the Transaction in certain countries are still in-process and are expected to be completed in the second half of 2011. Until these approvals are received, the Company will maintain the assets and liabilities associated with these countries in assets and liabilities held for sale in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. 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 was completed (the “Distribution”). Immediately following the Distribution, the Company changed its name from Motorola, Inc. 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.

Reporting Segments

As of the first quarter of 2011, the Company reports financial results for the following two segments:

 

   

Government: Our Government segment includes sales of 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 second quarter of 2011, the segment’s net sales were $1.3 billion, representing 64% of the Company’s consolidated net sales.

 

28


Table of Contents
   

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 second quarter of 2011, the segment’s net sales were $747 million, representing 36% of the Company’s consolidated net sales.

Second Quarter Summary

 

 

Our net sales were $2.1 billion in the second quarter of 2011, up 6% compared to net sales of $1.9 billion in the second quarter of 2010.

 

 

We had operating earnings of $170 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared to operating earnings of $161 million in the second quarter of 2010. Operating margin was 8.3% of net sales in both the second quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2010.

 

 

We had earnings from continuing operations, net of tax, of $58 million, or $0.17 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2011, compared to earnings from continuing operations, net of tax, of $3 million, or $0.01 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2010. The increase in earnings from continuing operations, net of tax, was primarily driven by lower income taxes.

 

 

We generated cash from operating activities of $333 million in the first half of 2011, compared to $162 million in the first half of 2010.

Highlights for each of our segments are as follows:

 

 

Government: Net sales were $1.3 billion during both the second quarter of 2011 and 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 $747 million in the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 11% compared to net sales of $674 million in the second quarter of 2010. On a geographic basis, net sales increased in North America, EMEA, and Asia and decreased in Latin America compared to the year-ago quarter.

Looking Forward

Our Government segment showed continued growth in the second quarter. Although the government budget environment remains challenging in the U.S. and in parts of Western Europe 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.

Our Enterprise segment demonstrated sustained momentum in the second quarter driven by retailers that continue to invest in technology to drive sales growth. Our solutions have a high return on investment, and with increasing demands for real-time information and rapid increases in knowledge workers, we expect continued sales growth.

Private public safety broadband networks based on the long-term evolution (“LTE”) standard are an important next generation tool for our first-responder customers. There is increasing support from 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 public safety grade broadband data networks. We have been investing in research and development 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.

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

Net Sales

Net sales were $2.1 billion in the second quarter of 2011, up 6% compared to net sales of $1.9 billion in the second quarter of 2010. The increase in net sales reflects: (i) a $73 million, or 11%, increase in net sales in the Enterprise segment, and (ii) a $46 million, or 4%, increase in net sales in the Government segment.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was $1.0 billion, or 50.6% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2011, compared to $965 million, or 49.8% of net sales, in the second 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 second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010 reflects an increase in gross margin percentage in both segments. The Company’s overall gross margin as a percentage of net sales is impacted by the proportion of overall net sales generated by its businesses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased 4% to $492 million, or 23.9% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2011, compared to $471 million, or 24.3% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2010. The increase in SG&A expenses reflects higher SG&A expenses in both segments. The increase in both segments was primarily due to (i) an increase in selling and marketing expenses related to the increase in net sales, and (ii) increased employee benefit-related expenses, partially offset by savings from cost-reduction initiatives. 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 slightly increased in the Government segment.

Research and Development Expenditures

Research and development (“R&D”) expenditures increased 1% to $271 million, or 13.2% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2011, compared to $269 million, or 13.9% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2010. The increase in R&D expenditures reflects higher R&D expenditures in the Enterprise segment and relatively flat R&D expenditures in the Government segment. The increase in the Enterprise segment was primarily due to higher developmental engineering expenditures for new product development, 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 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 $106 million in Other charges in the second quarter of 2011, compared to net charges of $64 million in the second quarter of 2010. The net charges in the second quarter of 2011 included: (i) $50 million of charges relating to the amortization of intangibles, (ii) $48 million of charges for legal matters, net, (iii) $17 million of net reorganization of business charges, partially offset by a $9 million pension plan adjustments, net, related to the Networks Transaction. The charges in the second quarter of 2010 included: (i) $50 million of charges relating to the amortization of intangibles, and (ii) $14 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 $21 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared to net interest expense of $35 million in the second quarter of 2010. Net interest expense in the second quarter of 2011 included interest expense of $40 million, partially offset by interest income of $19 million. Net interest expense in the second quarter of 2010 includes interest expense of $56 million, partially offset by interest income of $21 million. The decrease in net interest expense in the second quarter of 2011 is primarily attributable to a decline in interest expense due to lower average debt outstanding during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010. Additionally, interest income decreased due to lower average cash and cash equivalents during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010.

Gains on Sales of Investments and Businesses

Gains on sales of investments and businesses were $1 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared to $33 million in the second quarter of 2010. In the second quarter of 2011, the net gains were primarily comprised of gains related to sales of certain of the Company’s equity investments. In the second quarter of 2010, the net gains were primarily comprised of a $31 million gain on a sale of a single investment.

Other

Net Other expense was $77 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared to net Other expense of $30 million in the second quarter of 2010. The net Other expense in the second quarter of 2011 was primarily comprised of an $81 million loss from the extinguishment of debt, partially offset by $6 million of foreign currency gains. The net Other expense in the second quarter of 2010 was primarily comprised of: (i) a $12 million loss from the extinguishment of debt, (ii) $9 million of investment impairments, (iii) $4 million of foreign currency losses, and (iv) $4 million of net losses from Sigma Fund investments.

Effective Tax Rate

The Company recorded $17 million of net tax expense in the second quarter of 2011, resulting in an effective tax rate of 23%, compared to $122 million of net tax expense in the second quarter of 2010, resulting in an effective tax rate of 95%. The Company’s effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2011 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to a pension curtailment gain for which no tax expense was recorded.

The Company’s effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2010 was higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to an increase in the U.S. federal income tax accrual for repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings, offset by a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits for facts that now indicate the extent to which certain tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained.

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 $73 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with net earnings from continuing operations before income taxes of $129 million in the second quarter of 2010. After taxes, and excluding Loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, the Company had net earnings from continuing operations of $58 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011, compared to a net earnings from continuing operations of $3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2010.

The decrease in net earnings from continuing operations was primarily driven by: (i) a $74 million increase in gross margin, and (ii) a $105 million decrease in income tax expense, offset by: (i) a $65 million increase in Other income (expense), (ii) a $42 million increase in Other charges, and (iii) a $21 million increase in SG&A.

Earnings from Discontinued Operations

In the second quarter of 2011, the Company had after-tax earnings from discontinued operations of $291 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, primarily from the $488 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the Networks

Results of Operations—Six months ended July 2, 2011 compared to six months ended July 3, 2010

Net Sales

Net sales were $3.9 billion in the first half of 2011, up 7% compared to net sales of $3.7 billion in the first half of 2010. The increase in net sales reflects: (i) a $160 million, or 12%, increase in net sales in the Enterprise segment, and (ii) a $103 million, or 4%, increase in net sales in the Government segment.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was $2.0 billion, or 50.3% of net sales, in the first half of 2011, compared to $1.8 billion, or 49.5% of net sales, in the first half 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 half of 2011 compared to the first half of 2010 reflects an increase in gross margin percentage in both segments. The Company’s overall gross margin as a percentage of net sales is impacted by the proportion of overall net sales generated by its businesses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses increased 4% to $960 million, or 24.4% of net sales, in the first half of 2011, compared to $925 million, or 25.2% of net sales, in the first half of 2010. The increase in SG&A expenses reflects higher SG&A expenses in both segments. The increase in both segments was primarily due to (i) an increase in selling and marketing expenses related to the increase in net sales, and (ii) increased employee benefit-related expenses, partially offset by savings from cost-reduction initiatives. 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 slightly increased in the Government segment.

Research and Development Expenditures

R&D expenditures decreased 1% to $520 million, or 13.2% of net sales, in the first half of 2011, compared to $527 million, or 14.3% of net sales, in the first half of 2010. The decrease in R&D expenditures reflects lower R&D expenditures in the Government segment and slightly higher R&D expenditures in the Enterprise segment. The decrease in R&D expenditures in the Government segment was primarily due to savings from cost-reduction initiatives, partially offset by higher developmental engineering expenditures for new product development, investment in next-generation technologies and increased employee benefit-related expenses. The slight increase in R&D expenditures in the Enterprise segment was primarily due to 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 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 $161 million in Other charges in the first half of 2011, compared to net charges of $85 million in the first half of 2010. The net charges in the first half of 2011 included: (i) $100 million of charges relating to the amortization of intangibles, (ii) $48 million of charges for legal matters, net, and (iii) $22 million of net reorganization of business charge, partially offset by a $9 million pension plan adjustments, net, related to the Networks Transaction. The charges in the first half of 2010 included:

Table of Contents

(i) $101 million of charges relating to the amortization of intangibles, and (ii) $13 million of net reorganization of business charges included in Other charges, partially offset by a $29 million gain related to a legal settlement. The net reorganization of business charges are discussed in further detail in the “Reorganization of Businesses” section.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense was $41 million in the first half of 2011, compared to net interest expense of $68 million in the first half of 2010. Net interest expense in the first half of 2011 included interest expense of $74 million, partially offset by interest income of $33 million. Net interest expense in the first half of 2010 includes interest expense of $116 million, partially offset by interest income of $48 million. The decrease in net interest expense in the first half of 2011 is primarily attributable to a decline in interest expense due to lower average debt outstanding during the first half of 2011 compared to the first half 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 during the first half of 2011 compared to the first half of 2010.

Gains on Sales of Investments and Businesses

Gains on sales of investments and businesses were $19 million in the first half of 2011, compared to gains on sales of investments and businesses of $40 million in the first half of 2010. In the first half of 2011, the net gains were primarily comprised of gains related to sales of certain of the Company’s equity investments. In the first half of 2010, the net gains were primarily comprised of a $31 million gain on a sale of a single investment.

Other

Net Other expense was $72 million in the first half of 2011, compared to net Other expense of $15 million in the first half of 2010. The net Other expense in the first half of 2011 was primarily comprised of (i) $81 million loss from the extinguishment of debt, and (ii) $3 million of investment impairments, partially offset by $11 million of foreign currency gain. The net Other expense in the first half of 2010 was primarily comprised of: (i) $18 million of investment impairments, and (ii) a $12 million loss from the extinguishment of debt, partially offset by: (i) $12 million of net gains from Sigma Fund investments, and (ii) $7 million of foreign currency gains.

Effective Tax Rate

The Company recorded $169 million of net tax benefits in the first half of 2011, resulting in a negative effective tax rate on continuing operations, compared to $135 million of net tax expense in the first half of 2010, resulting in an effective tax rate of 57%. The Company’s negative effective tax rate in the first half 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 half of 2010 was higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to an increase in the U.S. federal income tax accrual for repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings and a non-cash tax charge related to the Medicare Part D subsidy tax law change, partially offset by reductions in unrecognized tax benefits for facts that now indicate the extent to which certain tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained.

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.

The segment’s net sales were $1.3 billion during both the second quarter of 2011 and 2010. The increase in net sales in the Government segment reflects an increase in radio sales and service revenues. On a geographic basis, net sales increased in North America, Latin America and Asia and decreased in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) 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 64% of the segment’s net sales in both the second quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2010.

The segment had operating earnings of $111 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared to operating earnings of $117 million in the second quarter of 2010. The decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to an increase in Other charges and SG&A expenses, partially offset by an increase in gross

margin, driven by the 4% increase in net sales. The increase in Other charges was primarily due to charges from legal matters, net. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to an increase in selling and marketing expenses related to the increase in net sales, and increased employee benefit-related expenses, partially offset by savings from cost-reduction initiatives. As a percentage of net sales in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the second quarter of 2010, gross margin increased, SG&A expenses slightly increased, and R&D expenditures decreased.

Six months ended July 2, 2011 compared to six months ended July 3, 2010

In the first half of 2011, the segment’s net sales were $2.5 billion, a 4% increase compared to net sales of $2.4 billion in the first half of 2010. The increase in net sales in the Government segment reflects an increase in radio sales and service revenues. On a geographic basis, net sales increased in North America, Latin America and Asia and decreased in the EMEA region compared to the first half of 2010. Net sales in North America continued to comprise a significant portion of the segment’s business, accounting for approximately 63% of the segment’s net sales in both the first half of 2011 and the first half of 2010.

The segment had operating earnings of $215 million in the first half of 2011, compared to operating earnings of $209 million in the first half of 2010. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to: (i) an increase in gross margin, driven by the 4% increase in net sales, and (ii) a decrease in R&D expenditures, partially offset by increases in Other charges and SG&A expenses. The decrease in R&D expenditures was 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 increase in Other charges was primarily due to charges from legal matters, net. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to an increase in selling and marketing expenses related to the increase in net sales and increased employee benefit-related expenses, partially offset by savings from cost-reduction initiatives. As a percentage of net sales in the first half of 2011 as compared to the first half of 2010, gross margin increased, SG&A expenses increased, and R&D expenditures decreased.

Enterprise Segment

For the second quarter of 2011, the segment’s net sales represented 36% of the Company’s consolidated net sales, compared to 35% in the second quarter of 2010. For the first half of 2011, the segment’s net sales represented 37% of the Company’s consolidated net sales, compared to 35% in the first half of 2010.

In the second quarter of 2011, the segment’s net sales were $747 million, an 11% increase compared to net sales of $674 million in the second quarter of 2010. The 11% increase in net sales in the Enterprise segment reflects an increase in mobile computing, wireless network solutions and advanced data capture, partially offset by a decrease in the iDEN infrastructure business. On a geographic basis, net sales increased in North America, EMEA region and Asia and decreased in Latin America 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 46% and 49% of the segment’s net sales in the second quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2010, respectively. The decrease in the percentage of net sales in the North America regions reflects an increase in net sales in the EMEA and Asia regions.

The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to an increase in selling and marketing expenses related to the increase in net sales and increased employee benefit-related expenses, partially offset by savings from cost-reduction initiatives. As a percentage of net sales in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the second quarter of 2010, gross margin increased, SG&A expenses decreased, and R&D expenditures decreased.

Six months ended July 2, 2011 compared to six months ended July 3, 2010

In the first half of 2011, the segment’s net sales were $1.4 billion, a 12% increase compared to net sales of $1.3 billion in the first half of 2010. The 12% increase in net sales in the Enterprise segment reflects an increase in mobile computing and wireless network solutions, partially offset by a decrease in the iDEN infrastructure business. On a geographic basis, net sales increased in all regions compared to the first half of 2010. Net sales in North America continued to comprise a significant portion of the segment’s business, accounting for approximately 45% and 50% of the segment’s net sales in the first half of 2011 and the first half of 2010, respectively. The decrease in the percentage of net sales in the North America regions reflects an increase in net sales in the EMEA region.

The segment had operating earnings of $125 million in the first half of 2011, compared to operating earnings of $72 million in the first half of 2010. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to an increase in gross margin, driven by the 12% increase in net sales, partially offset by increases in Other charges and SG&A expenses. The increase in Other charges was primarily due to charges from legal matters, net. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to an increase in selling and marketing expenses related to the increase in net sales, and increased employee benefit-related expenses, partially offset by savings from cost-reduction initiatives. As a percentage of net sales in the first half of 2011 as compared to the first half of 2010, gross margin increased, SG&A expenses decreased, and R&D expenditures decreased.

Reorganization of Businesses

During 2011, the Company implemented various productivity improvement plans aimed at achieving long term, sustainable profitability by driving efficiencies and reducing operating costs. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company recorded net reorganization of business charges of $17 million, including: (i) $13 million for exit costs relating to the exit of leased facilities, and (ii) $5 million relating to the separation of 100 employees, of whom substantially all were indirect employees, partially offset by $1 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed. These charges were substantially all classified as Other charges in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the second quarter of 2010, the Company’s net reorganization of business charges were $20 million, including $6 million of charges in Costs of sales and $14 million of charges under Other charges in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Included in the aggregate $20 million are charges of $21 million for employee separation costs, partially offset by $1 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed.

The Company expects to realize cost-saving benefits of approximately $3 million during the remaining six months of 2011 from the plans that were initiated during the first half of 2011, primarily in SG&A expenses. Beyond 2011, the Company expects the reorganization plans initiated during the first half of 2011 to provide annualized cost savings of approximately $6 million, primarily in SG&A expenses.

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

 

     Three Months Ended      Six Months Ended

Cash payments for employee severance and exit costs in connection with the reorganization of business plans were $52 million in the first half of 2011, as compared to $34 million in the first half of 2010. Of the $40 million of reorganization of businesses accruals at July 2, 2011, $26 million relate to employee separation costs and are expected to be paid in 2011. The remaining $14 million in accruals relate to lease termination obligations that are expected to be paid over a number of years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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 $2.2 billion at July 2, 2011, compared to $4.2 billion at December 31, 2010. At July 2, 2011, $206 million of this amount was held in the U.S. and $1.9 billion was held by the Company or its subsidiaries in other countries. At July 2, 2011, restricted cash was $63 million (including $60 million held in the U.S.), compared to $226 million (including $60 million held in the U.S.) at December 31, 2010. The decrease in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2010 to July 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, partially offset by $1.0 billion of net cash received from the sale of the Networks business.

The Company continues to analyze and review various repatriation strategies to continue to efficiently repatriate funds. During the first half of 2011, the Company repatriated $1.0 billion in funds to the U.S. from international jurisdictions with minimal cash tax cost. The Company has approximately $2.4 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 cash 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. The contribution is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flow in the first half of 2011. The Company 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, of which $75 million was paid to Motorola Mobility on July 22, 2011.

During the six months ended July 2, 2011, the Company received cash proceeds from the sale of the Networks business of $1.0 billion, net of taxes, assignment fees, an expected purchase price adjustment and other transaction-related fees and expenses. Included in the cash proceeds were the $150 million of accounts receivable

collected after the Transaction closed. A significant amount of the cash proceeds was received in the U.S. Based on the terms and conditions of the Transaction, the sale is subject to a purchase price adjustment that is contingent upon the review of final assets and liabilities transferred to NSN and is based on the change in net assets from the original agreed upon sale date. The Company expects to settle the purchase price adjustment with NSN in the second half of 2011.

Operating Activities

In the first half of 2011, the cash provided by operating activities was $333 million, compared to $162 million of cash provided by operating activities in the first half of 2010. The primary contributors to the cash provided in the first half of 2011 were: (i) income from continuing operations (adjusted for net non-cash charges) of $771 million, (ii) a $338 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and (iii) a $185 million net decrease in other assets and liabilities.

Accounts Receivable: The Company’s net accounts receivable were $1.5 billion at both July 2, 2011 and 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.”

Inventory: The Company’s net inventory was $522 million at July 2, 2011, compared to $521 million at 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 $625 million at July 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 six months ended July 2, 2011, contributions of $23 million were made to the Company’s Non-U.S. plans, $6 million to its Officer’s plan and $110 million to the Company’s Regular Pension Plan. The Company expects to make additional contributions of approximately $125 million to its U.S. Regular Pension Plan during the remainder of 2011. The Company expects to make additional cash contributions of approximately $17 million to its non-U.S. plans and no cash contributions to its retiree health care plan during the remainder of 2011.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.3 billion in the first half of 2011, compared to net cash used of $85 million in the first half of 2010. This $1.3 billion change was primarily due to the proceeds from the sale of the Networks business and 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 $266 million of Sigma Fund investments in the first half of 2011, compared to $248 million in net purchases of Sigma Fund investments in the first half of 2010. The aggregate fair value of Sigma Fund investments was $4.5 billion at July 2, 2011 (including $1.6 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.).

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 $60 million in the first half of 2011, compared to $74 million in the first half 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 $1.1 billion in net proceeds from the sales of investments and businesses, primarily from the sale of the Networks business, in the first half of 2011, compared to proceeds of $239 million in the first half of 2010. The proceeds in the first half of 2011 were primarily comprised of net proceeds received in connection with sales of: (i) Networks business, (ii) certain portions of the Company’s equity investments, and (iii) the Israel-based module business. The proceeds in the first half of 2010 were primarily comprised of net proceeds received in connection with: (i) the sale of our Israel-based wireless networks operator business, and (ii) the sales of certain of the Company’s equity investments.

Financing Activities

Net cash used for financing activities was $3.6 billion in the first half of 2011, compared to net cash provided of $113 million in the first half of 2010. Cash used for financing activities in the first half of 2011 was primarily comprised of: (i) a $3.2 billion cash contribution relating to the Distribution of Motorola Mobility, and (ii) $616 million of cash used for the repurchase of long-term debt, partially offset by: (i) $128 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, and (ii) $75 million of distributions from discontinued operations. Net cash provided by financing activities in the first half of 2010 was primarily comprised of $531 million of distributions from discontinued operations and $68 million of cash received from the issuance of common stock in connection with the Company’s employee stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by $481 million of cash used for the repurchase of long-term debt.

Short-Term Debt: At July 2, 2011, the Company’s outstanding notes payable and current portion of long-term debt was $606 million, compared to $605 million at December 31, 2010.

Long-Term Debt: At July 2, 2011, the Company had outstanding long-term debt of $1.5 billion, compared to $2.1 billion. at December 31, 2010.

During the six months ended July 2, 2011, the Company repurchased $540 million of its outstanding long-term debt for a purchase price of $615 million, excluding approximately $6 million of accrued interest, all of which occurred during the three months ended July 2, 2011. The $540 million of long-term debt repurchased included principal amounts of: (i) $196 million of the $314 million then outstanding of the 6.50% Debentures due 2025, (ii) $174 million of the $210 million then outstanding of the 6.50% Debentures due 2028, and (iii) $170 million of the $225 million then outstanding of the 6.625% Senior Notes due 2037. After accelerating the amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discounts, the Company recognized a loss of $81 million related to this debt tender in Other within Other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the six months ended July 3, 2010, the Company repurchased $500 million of its outstanding long-term debt for a purchase price of $477 million, excluding approximately $5 million of accrued interest, all of which occurred during the three months ended July 3, 2010.

After accelerating the amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discounts, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $12 million related to this debt tender in Other within Other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The three largest U.S. national rating 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.

Share Repurchase Program: On July 28, 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that allows the Company to purchase up to $2.0 billion of its outstanding common stock through December 31, 2012, subject to market conditions. All repurchased shares are expected to be retired.

Payment of Dividends: Also on July 28, 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the initiation of a regular quarterly cash dividend on the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.22 per share of common stock payable on October 14, 2011 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2011.

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 July 2, 2011. The Company has no outstanding borrowing under the 2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement.

Long-Term Customer Financing Commitments

Outstanding Commitments: The Company had outstanding commitments to provide long-term financing to third parties totaling $135 million at July 2, 2011, compared to $333 million at December 31, 2010 (including $168 million at December 31, 2010 relating to the Networks business). Of these amounts, $1 million was supported by letters of credit or by bank commitments to purchase long-term receivables at July 2, 2011, compared to $27 million at December 31, 2010. The Company retained the funded portion of the financing arrangements related to the Networks business following the sale to NSN, which totaled approximately $286 million at July 2, 2011.

Guarantees of Third-Party Debt: The Company had committed to provide financial guarantees relating to customer financing facilities totaling $1 million at July 2, 2011, compared to $10 million at December 31, 2010 (including $6 million at December 31, 2010 relating to the sale of short-term receivables).

Sales of Receivables

As of July 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had a $200 million committed revolving receivable sales facility, maturing December 2011, for the sale of accounts receivable, which was fully available at both periods. 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 had no significant committed facilities for the sale of long-term receivables at July 2, 2011 or at December 31, 2010.

The following table summarizes the proceeds received from non-recourse sales of accounts receivable and long-term receivables for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010:

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.

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.

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company recorded $48 million of net charges related to legal matters to Other charges in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The net charges primarily related to a contingent reserve for a suit in which the Company has assessed the likelihood of having to pay as probable.

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

At July 2, 2011, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $665 million, 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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to Motorola Solutions, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to Motorola Solutions’ management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended July 2, 2011, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

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.

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 included purchasers of Motorola securities between October 25, 2007 and January 23, 2008. The complaint alleged 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 were 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 sought 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 subsequently filed a notice of appeal with the Seventh Circuit United States Court of Appeals. While the appeal was pending, the parties reached a settlement following mediation with a Court-appointed mediator. The case was remanded to the District Court for settlement proceedings. On July 7, 2011, the Court entered an Order preliminarily approving the settlement. The final approval hearing is scheduled for November 2, 2011.

Silverman Federal Securities Lawsuits

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 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. On July 25, 2011, the district court denied the motion for summary judgment.

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.

In November 2010, Motorola Mobility, Inc. and General Instrument Corporation filed complaints against Microsoft in the ITC and in the U.S. District Courts for the Southern District of Florida, Motorola Mobility, Inc. v. Microsoft Corporation and the Western District of Wisconsin, Motorola Mobility, Inc. and General Instrument Corporation v. Microsoft Corporation (No. 10-cv-699) and Motorola Mobility, Inc. and General Instrument Corporation v. Microsoft Corporation (No. 10-cv-700). The ITC matter is entitled In the Matter of Certain Gaming and Entertainment Consoles, Related Software, and Components Thereof (Inv. No. 337-TA-752). Among the complaints, Motorola Mobility, Inc. and General Instrument Corporation are asserting infringement of claims of sixteen patents by Microsoft’s PC and Server software, Windows mobile and smartphone software and Xbox products. The ITC complaint seeks exclusion and cease and desist orders directed to these products. On December 23, 2010, the ITC instituted the investigation. The District Court complaints seek monetary damages and injunctive relief. In December 2010 and February 2011, Motorola Mobility, Inc. subsequently asserted claims of five additional patents in the Western District of Wisconsin, Motorola Mobility, Inc. v. Microsoft Corporation (No. 10-cv-826). Between December 23, 2010 and January 25, 2011, Microsoft filed counterclaims against Motorola Mobility, Inc. in several of these actions, alleging infringement of a total of fourteen additional Microsoft patents. Two of the complaints filed by Motorola Mobility, Inc. and General Instrument Corporation in the Western District of Wisconsin have been transferred to the Western District of Washington.

In late June 2011 Motorola Solutions, Inc., Motorola Mobility, Inc. and Microsoft Corporation filed a joint motion to remove Motorola Solutions, Inc. as a respondent in the ITC matter. That motion was subsequently approved by the Commission in early July 2011. As a result, Motorola Solutions, Inc. is no longer a participant in the ITC matter except with regard to the production of certain information dating from prior to January 4, 2011. Motorola Solutions, Inc. will not be bound by any remedy granted by the ITC, such as an exclusion order, unless Motorola Solutions, Inc. is importing and/or reselling products made by Motorola Mobility, Inc.
