Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in millions, except as noted)

(Unaudited)

1.Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 28, 2020 and for the three months ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, Statements of Comprehensive Income, Statements of Stockholders' Equity (Deficit), and Statements of 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 United States 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, 2019. The results of operations for the three months ended March 28, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.

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.

Recent Acquisitions and Developments

On March 17, 2020, the Company announced the proposed acquisition of IndigoVision Group plc ("IndigoVision") for a purchase price of approximately $37 million in cash. The proposed acquisition complements the Company's video security and analytics portfolio, providing enhanced geographical reach across a wider customer base. The proposed acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions for a UK public transaction and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2020.

On March 3, 2020, the Company acquired a cybersecurity services business for $40 million, inclusive of share-based compensation withheld at a fair value of $6 million that will be expensed over a service period of two years. The acquisition was settled with $33 million of cash, net of cash acquired. The acquisition expands the Company’s ability to assist customers with cybersecurity needs through vulnerability assessments, cybersecurity consulting, managed services and remediation and response capabilities. The business is a part of the Software and Services segment.

On October 16, 2019, the Company acquired a data solutions business for vehicle location information for a purchase price of $85 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition enhances the Company's video security platform by adding data to the Company’s existing license plate recognition (“LPR”) database within the Software and Services segment.

On July 11, 2019, the Company acquired WatchGuard, Inc. ("WatchGuard"), a provider of in-car and body-worn video solutions for $271 million, inclusive of share-based compensation withheld at a fair value of $16 million that will be expensed over an average service period of two years. The acquisition was settled with $250 million of cash, net of cash acquired. The acquisition expands the Company's video security platform within both the Product and Systems Integration segment and the Software and Services segment.

On March 11, 2019, the Company acquired Avtec, Inc. ("Avtec"), a provider of dispatch communication equipment for U.S. public safety and commercial customers for a purchase price of $136 million in cash, net of cash acquired.

The business is part of both the Product and Systems Integration segment and the Software and Services segment.

On January 7, 2019, the Company announced that it acquired VaaS International Holdings ("VaaS"), a global provider of data and image analytics for vehicle location for $445 million, inclusive of share-based compensation withheld at a fair value of $38 million that will be expensed over an average service period of one year. The acquisition was settled with $231 million of cash, net of cash acquired, and 1.4 million of shares issued at a fair value of $160 million for a purchase price of $391 million. This acquisition expands the Company's video security platform within both the Product and Systems Integration segment and the Software and Services segment.

Change in presentation

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company restructured its operations to realize more operational efficiencies, combining EMEA, AP and LA into one region which is now reflected as "International." Accordingly, the Company now reports net sales in the following two geographic regions: North America, which includes the United States and Canada, and International. The Company has updated all periods presented to reflect this change in presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740),” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and streamlining other areas of accounting for income taxes. The ASU is effective

6

for the Company on January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted. Portions of the amendment within the ASU require retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective adoption methods. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adoption on its financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20) - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans,” which modifies the disclosure requirements for the defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans. The ASU is effective for the Company on January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The ASU requires a retrospective adoption method. The Company does not believe the ASU will have a material impact on its financial statement disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires the Company to measure and recognize expected credit losses for financial assets held and not accounted for at fair value through net income. In November 2018, April 2019, May 2019 and November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” ASU No. 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments," ASU No. 2019-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief," and ASU No. 2019-11," Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. The Company adopted ASC 326 as of January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective transition approach for all credit losses. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and disclosures required under ASC 326 will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2020.

The Company considered the impact of adoption by reviewing historical losses in conjunction with current and future economic conditions on the following financial assets: i) cash equivalents, ii) accounts receivable, iii) contract assets and iv) long-term receivables. Historical losses for these financial assets were previously insignificant with the exception of accounts receivable. The Company estimates credit losses on accounts receivable based on historical losses and then takes into account estimates of current and future economic conditions. The Company’s historical loss model is based on past due customer receivable balances and considers past collection experience, historical write-offs as well as the customer’s overall financial condition. Customer receivables are considered past due if payments have not been received within the agreed invoice terms. These historical losses are aggregated based on the type of customer (Direct and Indirect) and the geographic region (North America and International). The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company's financial statements.

The following table displays the rollforward of the allowance for credit losses on the Company's trade receivables:

Allowance for Credit Losses	Balance at January 1, 2020		Charged to Earnings		Used		Adjustments*		Balance at March 28, 2020
2020	$	63	$	11	$	(5)	$	(2)	$	67

*Adjustments include translation adjustments

2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table summarizes the disaggregation of our revenue by segment, geography, major product and service type and customer type for the three months ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, consistent with the information reviewed by our chief operating decision maker for evaluating the financial performance of operating segments:

	Three Months Ended

	Products and Systems Integration		Software and Services		Products and Systems Integration		Software and Services

Indirect	352		41		412		35
	$	993	$	662	$	1,069	$	588

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the revenue that is expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, as of the end of a period. The transaction price associated with remaining performance obligations which are not yet satisfied as of March 28, 2020 is $6.7 billion. A total of $2.9 billion is from Products and Systems Integration performance obligations that are not yet satisfied, of which $1.4 billion is expected to be recognized in the next twelve months. The remaining amounts will generally be satisfied over time as systems are implemented. A total of $3.8 billion is from Software and Services performance obligations that are not yet satisfied as of March 28, 2020. The determination of Software and Services performance obligations that are not satisfied takes into account a contract term that may be limited by the customer’s ability to terminate for convenience. Where termination for convenience exists in the Company's service contracts, its disclosure of the remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied assumes the contract term is limited until renewal. The Company expects to recognize $1.3 billion from unsatisfied Software and Services performance obligations over the next twelve months, with the remaining performance obligations to be recognized over time as services are performed and software is implemented.

Earnings Per Common Share

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share is as follows:

	Amounts attributable to Motorola Solutions, Inc. common stockholders
	Three Months Ended
	March 28, 2020		March 30, 2019
Basic earnings per common share:
Earnings	$	197	$	151
Weighted average common shares outstanding	170.6		164.0
Per share amount	$	1.15	$	0.92
Diluted earnings per common share:
Earnings	$	197	$	151
Weighted average common shares outstanding	170.6		164.0
Add effect of dilutive securities:
Share-based awards	5.3		4.9
2.00% senior convertible notes	—		5.7
1.75% senior convertible notes	—		—
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	175.9		174.6
Per share amount	$	1.12	$	0.86

For the three months ended March 28, 2020, the assumed exercise of 0.2 million employee stock options, were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended March 30, 2019, the assumed exercise of 0.5 million options, including 0.2 million subject to market based contingent option agreements, were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

As of March 28, 2020, the Company had $1.0 billion of 1.75% senior convertible notes outstanding which mature in September 15, 2024 ("New Senior Convertible Notes"). The notes are convertible based on a conversion rate of 4.9140 per $1,000 principal amount (which is equal to an initial conversion price of $203.50 per share). In the event of conversion, the Company intends to settle the principal amount of the New Senior Convertible Notes in cash. Because of the Company’s intention to settle the par value of the New Senior Convertible Notes in cash, Motorola Solutions does not reflect any shares underlying the New Senior Convertible Notes in its diluted weighted average shares outstanding until the average stock price per share for the period exceeds the conversion price. Only the number of shares that would be issuable (under the treasury stock

method of accounting for share dilution) will be included, which is based upon the amount by which the average stock price exceeds the conversion price of $203.50. For the period ended March 28, 2020, there was no dilutive effect of the New Senior Convertible Notes on diluted earnings per share attributable to Motorola Solutions, Inc. as the average stock price for the period outstanding was below the conversion price. See further discussion in Note 5.

As of March 28, 2020, the Company had a $2.2 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility scheduled to mature in April 2022 (the "2017 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement"). The 2017 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes a $500 million letter of credit sub-limit with $450 million of fronting commitments. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the prime rate plus the applicable margin, or at a spread above the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), at the Company's option. Following the turmoil in the financial markets caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Company borrowed $800 million under the facility to bolster its cash holdings out of precaution, of which, $800 million was outstanding as of March 28, 2020. The weighted average borrowing rate on outstanding amounts was 2.35%. An annual facility fee is payable on the undrawn amount of the credit line. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment if the Company's credit rating changes. The Company must comply with certain customary covenants including a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the 2017 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of March 28, 2020.

As of March 28, 2020, the Company had $1.0 billion of 1.75% senior convertible notes with Silver Lake, which mature in September 2024 ("New Senior Convertible Notes"). The notes are convertible anytime on or after two years from their issuance date, except in certain limited circumstances. The notes are convertible based on a conversion rate of 4.9140 per $1,000 principal amount (which is equal to an initial conversion price of $203.50 per share). In the event of conversion, the Company intends to settle the principal amount of the New Senior Convertible Notes in cash. The Company has recorded a debt liability associated with the New Senior Convertible Notes by determining the fair value of an equivalent debt instrument without a conversion option. Using a discount rate of 2.45%, which was determined based on a review of relevant market data, the Company has calculated the debt liability to be $986 million, indicating a $14 million discount to be amortized over the expected life of the debt instrument. The remaining proceeds of $14 million were allocated to the conversion option and accordingly, increased Additional paid-in capital.

The Company has an unsecured commercial paper program, backed by the revolving credit facility, under which the Company may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $2.2 billion outstanding at any one time. Proceeds from the issuances of the notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The notes are issued at a zero-coupon rate and are issued at a discount which reflects the interest component.  At maturity, the notes are paid back in full including the interest component. The notes are not redeemable prior to maturity. As of March 28, 2020 the Company had no outstanding debt under the commercial paper program.

6. Risk Management

Foreign Currency Risk

As of March 28, 2020, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $989 million, compared to $1.1 billion outstanding at December 31, 2019. The Company does not believe these financial instruments should subject it to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions.

The following table shows the five largest net notional amounts of the positions to buy or sell foreign currency as of March 28, 2020, and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2019: 

	Notional Amount
Net Buy (Sell) by Currency	March 28, 2020		December 31, 2019
Euro	$	228	$	134
Norwegian krone	28		32
Canadian dollar	21		8
Australian dollar	(93)		(123)
Chinese renminbi	(74)		(79)

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 March 28, 2020, all of the counterparties have investment grade credit ratings. As of March 28, 2020, the Company had $24 million of exposure to aggregate credit risk with all counterparties.

The following tables summarize the fair values and locations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of all derivative financial instruments held by the Company as of March 28, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

	Fair Values of Derivative Instruments
March 28, 2020	Other Current Assets		Accrued Liabilities

Net Investment Hedges

The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts with contract terms of 12 to 15 months to hedge against the effect of the British pound and the Euro exchange rate fluctuations against the U.S. dollar on a portion of its net investment in certain European operations. The Company recognizes changes in the fair value of the net investment hedges as a component of foreign currency translation adjustments within other comprehensive income to offset a portion of the change in translated value of the net investment being hedged, until the investment is sold or liquidated. As of March 28, 2020, the Company had €94 million of net investment hedges in certain Euro functional subsidiaries and £100 million of net investment hedges in certain British pound functional subsidiaries.

7. Income Taxes

At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of its annual effective income tax rate. Tax expense in interim periods is calculated at the estimated annual effective tax rate plus or minus the tax effects of items of income and expense that are discrete to the period. The estimate used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis may change in subsequent interim periods.

The following table provides details of income taxes:

	Three Months Ended
	March 28, 2020			March 30, 2019
Net earnings before income taxes	$	224		$	185
Income tax expense	26			33
Effective tax rate	12		%	18		%

During the three months ended March 28, 2020, the Company recorded $26 million of net tax expense, resulting in an effective tax rate of 12%. During the three months ended March 30, 2019, the Company recorded $33 million of net tax expense, resulting in an effective tax rate of 18%. The three months ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019 effective tax rates are different from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% due to state tax expense, offset by excess tax benefits on share-based compensation. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 28, 2020 of 12% is lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2019 of 18%, primarily due to a higher excess tax benefits on share-based compensation.

The Company granted an additional 0.03 million of restricted stock in connection with the acquisition of a cybersecurity services business, with an aggregate grant-date fair value of $6 million related to compensation withheld from the purchase price that will be expensed over an average service period of two years.

10. Fair Value Measurements

The Company holds certain fixed income securities, equity securities and derivatives, which are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date and is measured using the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy prescribes 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.

18

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 March 28, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows: 

March 28, 2020	Level 1		Level 2		Total
Assets:
Foreign exchange derivative contracts	$	—	$	24	$	24
Common stock	21		—		21
Liabilities:
Foreign exchange derivative contracts	$	—	$	6	$	6

Assets:
Foreign exchange derivative contracts	$	—	$	4	$	4
Common stock	25		—		25
Liabilities:
Foreign exchange derivative contracts	$	—	$	5	$	5

The Company had no Level 3 holdings as of March 28, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

At March 28, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $914 million and $322 million, respectively, of investments in money market U.S. treasury and government funds classified (Level 1) as Cash and cash equivalents in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The money market funds had quoted market prices that are equivalent to par.

Using quoted market prices and market interest rates, the Company determined that the fair value of long-term debt at March 28, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $5.9 billion and $5.5 billion (Level 2), respectively.

All other financial instruments are carried at cost, which is not materially different from the instruments’ fair values.

15. Intangible Assets and Goodwill

On March 3, 2020, the Company acquired a cybersecurity services business for $40 million, inclusive of share-based compensation withheld at a fair value of $6 million that will be expensed over a service period of two years. The acquisition was settled with $33 million of cash, net of cash acquired. The company recognized $27 million of goodwill, $7 million of intangible assets and $1 million of net liabilities. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The identifiable intangible asset was classified as a customer relationship that will be amortized over a period of thirteen years. The acquisition expands the Company’s ability to assist customers with cybersecurity needs through vulnerability assessments, cybersecurity consulting, managed services and remediation and response capabilities. The business is a part of the Software and Services segment. The purchase accounting is not yet complete and as such the final allocation between income tax accounts, intangible assets, goodwill and net liabilities may be subject to change based on the finalization of assumptions and settlement of working capital considerations.

On October 16, 2019, the Company acquired a data solutions business for vehicle location information for a purchase price of $85 million in cash, net of cash acquired.

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 and related notes thereto of Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“Motorola Solutions” or the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) for the three months ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, as well as our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Executive Overview

First Quarter Financial Results

•Net sales were $1.7 billion for both of the first quarters of 2020 and 2019.

•Operating earnings were $259 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $229 million in the first quarter of 2019.

•Net earnings attributable to Motorola Solutions, Inc. were $197 million, or $1.12 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $151 million, or $0.86 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2019.

•Our operating cash flow increased $57 million to $308 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019.

•We repurchased $253 million of common stock and paid $109 million in dividends in the first quarter of 2020.

Recent Developments 

In March 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (“WHO”). In response, there have been a broad number of governmental and commercial actions including social distancing measures, stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions, business shutdowns and slowdowns in an effort to limit the spread of coronavirus. These events have resulted in a significant decline in global economic activity, and accordingly, we have assessed the impact on our employees, customers, communities, liquidity and financial position.

We have implemented a number of measures in an effort to protect the health and well-being of our employees and customers, including having office workers work remotely, suspending employee travel, withdrawing from certain industry events, increased cleaning, encouraging face coverings and using thermal scanning. Additionally, we have ensured customer continuity by fulfilling several emergency orders, completing remote software maintenance where possible, and visitation by field workers to customer sites to keep mission-critical networks operating.

We recognize the effects of the virus on first responders and front-line health care professionals and their families during this time. In response, our charitable foundation has committed $1 million in cash and in-kind donations in support of these groups. We have also reprioritized our foundation funding to support COVID-19 relief efforts in the communities in which we work and serve.

We also assessed the adequacy of our liquidity. We believe the steps we have taken, over the past few years and months, have strengthened our ability to operate under the current conditions. These include the proactive withdrawal in March 2020 of $800 million from our unsecured revolving credit facility as a precaution and to provide additional flexibility during the disruption in the financial markets. This leaves $1.4 billion of capacity on the committed facility. Additionally, we have no bond maturities until 2022.

We evaluated our financial position during this economic slowdown. Specifically, in our Software and Services segment, with the recurring nature of the business and strong backlog position, we expect that the impact should be somewhat limited. In our Products and Systems Integration segment, the impact is likely to be more significant with the largest impact occurring during the second quarter. Reduced demand, particularly in our professional commercial radio business (“PCR”), as well as delays in engagements with our state and local customers in the near term, will most likely lead to year-over-year sales declines for the segment in 2020, as compared to 2019. Within the Products and Systems Integration segment, we are encouraged by the resiliency of the video security Device business and expect growth for fiscal year 2020. We have also taken actions in a number of areas to reduce our operating expenses, mostly driven by lower variable compensation, travel costs, contractor spend and reduced real estate footprint to limit the negative effect on operating margins for the year despite the expected reduction of revenue.

Lastly, we evaluated whether there were any impairment indicators in the first quarter, which included a review of our receivables, inventory, right-of-use lease assets, long-lived assets, investments, goodwill and intangible assets. We concluded that as of the end of the first quarter of 2020, our assets were fairly stated and recoverable.

Change in Presentation

During the first quarter of 2020, we restructured our operations to realize more operational efficiencies, combining EMEA, AP and LA into one region which is now reflected as "International." Accordingly, we now report net sales in the following two geographic regions: North America, which includes the United States and Canada, and International. We have updated all periods presented to reflect this change in presentation.

Geographic market sales measured by the locale of the end customer as a percent of total net sales are as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Year Ended December 31
	March 28, 2020		March 30, 2019		2019		2018		2017
North America	67	%	65	%	67	%	64	%	62	%
International	33	%	35	%	33	%	36	%	38	%

Segment Financial Highlights

A summary of our segment results for the first quarter of 2020 is as follows:

•In the Products and Systems Integration segment, net sales were $993 million in the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of $76 million, or 7%, compared to $1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2019. On a geographic basis, net sales decreased in both the North America and International regions compared to the year-ago quarter primarily driven by our PCR Devices sales. Operating earnings were $92 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $108 million in the first quarter of 2019. Operating earnings decreased in 2020 to 9.3% from 10.1% in 2019 primarily driven by lower sales, gross margin, and higher operating expenses primarily driven by i) $15 million of additional Hytera-related legal expenses, ii) $7 million higher share-based compensation expenses, iii) $7 million higher reorganization of business charges and iv) higher operating expenses from acquisitions, and partially offset by a $50 million gain from the sale of a manufacturing facility in Europe.

•In the Software and Services segment, net sales were $662 million in the first quarter of 2020, an increase of $74 million, or 13%, compared to net sales of $588 million in the first quarter of 2019. On a geographic basis, net sales increased in both the North America and International regions compared to the year-ago quarter. Operating earnings were $167 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $121 million in the first quarter of 2019. Operating earnings increased in 2020 to 25.2% from 20.6% in 2019 driven by higher sales and gross margin expansion, and partially offset by higher operating expenses driven by i) $4 million of higher share-based compensation expenses, ii) $3 million of higher reorganization of business charges and iii) $2 million of higher intangible amortization driven by acquisitions.

Results of Operations—Three months ended March 28, 2020 compared to three months ended March 30, 2019

The results of operations for the first quarter of 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. Historically, we have experienced higher revenues in the fourth quarter as compared to the rest of the quarters of our fiscal year as a result of the purchasing patterns of our customers.

Net Sales

	Three Months Ended
(In millions)	March 28, 2020		March 30, 2019		% Change
Net sales from Products and Systems Integration	$	993	$	1,069	(7)	%
Net sales from Software and Services	662		588		13	%
Net sales	$	1,655	$	1,657	—	%

The Products and Systems Integration segment’s net sales represented 60% of our consolidated net sales in the first quarter of 2020 and 65% in the first quarter of 2019. The Software and Services segment’s net sales represented 40% of our consolidated net sales in the first quarter of 2020 and 35% in the first quarter of 2019.

Net sales were flat in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019. The 7% decline in sales within the Products and Systems Integration segment was driven by a 22% decline in the International region and a 1% decline in the North America region. The 13% increase in sales within the Software and Services segment was driven by a 15% increase in the North America region and a 10% increase in the International region. Net sales includes:

•a decline in the Products and System Integration segment, inclusive of acquisitions, driven by a decline in PCR Devices, a subset of our Devices portfolio, and partially offset by growth in Video Devices; and

•$7 million from unfavorable currency rates;

•partially offset by $48 million of revenue from acquisitions; and

•growth in Software and Services driven by maintenance and managed services, and video security and command center software.

Regional results include:

•an increase in the North America region of 4% driven by growth in the Software and Services segment, inclusive of revenue from acquisitions; and

•partially offset by a decline in the International region of 7% driven primarily by a decline in sales in our PCR Devices.

Products and Systems Integration

The 7% decrease in the Products and Systems Integration segment was driven by the following:

•10% decline in Devices revenue, primarily driven by a decline in the demand of our PCR devices in both the International and North America regions, inclusive of revenue from acquisitions;

•3% decline in Systems and Systems Integration revenue; and

•partially offset by $24 million of revenue from acquisitions.

Software and Services

The 13% increase in the Software and Services segment was driven by the following:

•9% growth in Services, driven by growth in our maintenance and managed services revenue, inclusive of acquisitions;

•25% growth in Software, driven primarily by an increase in video security and command center software sales, inclusive of acquisitions; and

•$24 million of revenue from acquisitions.

Gross Margin

	Three Months Ended
(In millions)	March 28, 2020		March 30, 2019		% Change
Gross margin	$	787	$	773	2	%

Gross margin was 47.6% of net sales in the first quarter of 2020 compared to 46.7% in the first quarter of 2019. The primary drivers of the increase are as follows:

26

•higher margins within Software and Services primarily driven by margin expansion within the Services and Software businesses and the increased mix of Software to the total segment, inclusive of acquisitions;

•partially offset by lower gross margin contribution in Products and Systems Integration as a result of the decline in Devices sales, inclusive of acquisitions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

	Three Months Ended
(In millions)	March 28, 2020		March 30, 2019		% Change
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	341	$	327	4	%

SG&A expenses increased 4% compared to the first quarter of 2019. SG&A expenses were 20.6% of net sales compared to 19.7% of net sales in the first quarter of 2019. The increase in SG&A expenditures is primarily due to $25 million in Hytera-related legal expenses incurred during the first quarter of 2020 compared to $10 million in the first quarter of 2019.

Research and Development Expenditures

	Three Months Ended
(In millions)	March 28, 2020		March 30, 2019		% Change
Research and development expenditures	$	168	$	162	4	%

R&D expenditures increased 4% primarily due to increased expenses associated with acquired businesses. R&D expenditures were 10.2% of net sales compared to 9.8% of net sales in the first quarter of 2019.

Other Charges

	Three Months Ended
(In millions)	March 28, 2020		March 30, 2019
Other charges	$	19	$	55

Other charges decreased by $36 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019. The change is driven by the following:

•a $50 million gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment in the first quarter of 2020;

•partially offset by $12 million of net reorganization business charges in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $4 million in the first quarter of 2019 (see further detail in “Reorganization of Businesses” section); and

•$53 million of intangible amortization in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $50 million in the first quarter of 2019.

	Three Months Ended

Operating earnings from Products and Systems Integration	$	92	$	108
Operating earnings from Software and Services	167		121
Operating earnings	$	259	$	229

Operating earnings were up $30 million, or 13%, compared to the first quarter of 2019. The increase in Operating earnings was due to:

•Software and Services, which was up $46 million, primarily driven by higher sales and gross margin expansion, partially offset by higher operating expenses driven by: i) $4 million of higher share-based compensation expenses ii) $3 million of higher reorganization of business charges and iii) $2 million of higher intangible amortization driven by acquisitions; and

•Products and Systems Integration, which was down $16 million, driven by lower sales, gross margin and higher operating expenses primarily driven by: i) $15 million of additional Hytera-related legal expenses, ii) $7 million higher share-based compensation expenses, iii) $7 million higher reorganization of business charges and iv) higher operating expenses from acquisitions, and partially offset by a $50 million gain from the sale of a manufacturing facility in Europe.

Interest expense, net	$	(52)	$	(55)

The decrease in net interest expense in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019 was a result of less average debt outstanding as of and for the period ending March 28, 2020 as compared to the period ending March 30, 2019.

Other, net

	Three Months Ended
(In millions)	March 28, 2020		March 30, 2019
Other, net	$	17	$	10

The increase in net Other income in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the first quarter of 2019 was driven by $8 million of investment impairments in the first quarter of 2019.

Effective Tax Rate

	Three Months Ended
(In millions)	March 28, 2020		March 30, 2019
Income tax expense	$	26	$	33

Income tax expense decreased by $7 million compared to the first quarter of 2019, resulting in an effective tax rate of 12%. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 28, 2020 is lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2019 of 18%, primarily due to a higher excess tax benefits on share-based compensation.

Reorganization of Business

During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $18 million including $12 million of charges recorded within Other charges and $6 million in Costs of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Included in the $18 million were charges of $22 million related to employee separation costs, partially offset by $4 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed.

During the first quarter of 2019, we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $8 million including $4 million of charges in Other charges and $4 million of charges in Costs of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Included in the $8 million were charges of $12 million related to employee separation costs and $4 million reversals for accruals no longer needed.

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

	Three Months Ended
	March 28, 2020		March 30, 2019
Products and Systems Integration	$	14	$	7
Software and Services	4		1
	$	18	$	8

Cash payments for employee severance in connection with the reorganization of business plans were $22 million in the first quarter of 2020 and $14 million in the first quarter of 2019. The reorganization of business accrual at March 28, 2020 was $74 million related to employee separation costs that are expected to be paid within one year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At March 28, 2020, $1.2 billion of the $1.7 billion cash and cash equivalents balance was held in the U.S. and $459 million was held in other countries, with $162 million held in the United Kingdom.

Operating Activities

The increase in operating cash flows from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020 was driven primarily by favorable working capital as a result of timing.

Investing Activities

The decrease in net cash used by investing activities from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020 was primarily due to:

•a $332 million decrease in acquisitions and investments, primarily driven by cash used for the purchases of VaaS and Avtec in the first quarter of 2019;

•a $18 million decrease in capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the first quarter of 2019 due to lower payments for the Airwave and ESN networks; and

•a $56 million increase in the proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment driven by the sale of a European manufacturing facility in the first quarter of 2020.

Financing Activities

The increase in cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2019 was driven by (also see further discussion in "Debt," "Share Repurchase Program" and "Dividends" below):

•a $800 million increase in debt due to the draw on our syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility during the first quarter of 2020;

•partially offset by a $108 million increase in share repurchases in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the first quarter of 2019;

•a $40 million decrease in the cash received from the issuance of common stock due to the issuance of stock related to our employee stock purchase program taking place during the second quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019; and

•a $16 million increase in the payment of dividends in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the first quarter of 2019.

Debt

We had outstanding long-term debt of $5.9 billion and $5.1 billion, including the current portions of $814 million and $16 million at March 28, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

We have a $2.2 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility scheduled to mature in April 2022 (the "2017 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement"). The 2017 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes a $500 million letter of credit sub-limit with $450 million of fronting commitments. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the prime rate plus the applicable margin, or at a spread above LIBOR, at our option. Following the turmoil in the financial markets caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic, we borrowed $800 million under the facility to bolster our cash holdings out of precaution, of which, $800 million was outstanding as of March 28, 2020. The weighted average borrowing rate on outstanding amounts was 2.35%. An annual facility fee is payable on the undrawn amount of the credit line. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment if our credit rating changes. We must comply with certain customary covenants including a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the 2017 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with our financial covenants as of March 28, 2020.

On September 5, 2019, we entered into an agreement with Silver Lake Partners to issue $1.0 billion of 1.75% senior convertible notes which mature in September 2024 ("New Senior Convertible Notes"). Interest on these notes is payable semiannually. The notes are convertible anytime on or after two years from their issuance date, except in certain limited circumstances. The notes are convertible based on a conversion rate of 4.9140 per $1,000 principal amount (which is equal to an initial conversion price of $203.50 per share). In the event of conversion, we intend to settle the principal amount of the New Senior Convertible Notes in cash. We recorded a debt liability associated with the New Senior Convertible Notes by determining the fair value of an equivalent debt instrument without a conversion option. Using a discount rate of 2.45%, which was determined based on a review of relevant market data, we calculated the debt liability to be $986 million, indicating a $14 million discount to be amortized over the expected life of the debt instrument. The remaining proceeds of $14 million were allocated to the conversion option and accordingly, increased Additional paid-in capital.

We have an unsecured commercial paper program, backed by the revolving credit facility, under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $2.2 billion outstanding at any one time. Proceeds from the issuances of the notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. As of March 28, 2020 we had no outstanding debt under the commercial paper program.

We continue to believe that we hold sufficient liquidity to cover the day-to-day operations of our business as well as any future volatility or uncertainty that may arise in the capital markets.

Share Repurchase Program

During the three months ended March 28, 2020, we paid an aggregate of $253 million, including transaction costs, to repurchase approximately 1.6 million shares at an average price of $162.85 per share. As of March 28, 2020, the Company had used approximately $13.0 billion of the share repurchase authority to repurchase shares, leaving $1.0 billion of authority available for future repurchases.

Dividends

During both the first quarter of 2020 and subsequent to the quarter, we paid $109 million in cash dividends to holders of our common stock.

Long-Term Customer Financing Commitments

We had outstanding commitments to provide long-term financing to third parties totaling $94 million at March 28, 2020, compared to $78 million at December 31, 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740),” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and simplifying other areas of accounting for income taxes. The ASU is effective on January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted. Portions of the amendment within the ASU require retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective adoption methods. We are still evaluating the impact of adoption on its financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20) - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans,” which modifies the disclosure requirements for the defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans. The ASU is effective for us on January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The ASU requires a retrospective adoption method. We do not believe the ASU will have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires us to measure and recognize expected credit losses for financial assets held and not accounted for at fair value through net income. In November 2018, April 2019, May 2019 and November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” ASU No. 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments," ASU No. 2019-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition

30

Relief," and ASU No. 2019-11," Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. We adopted ASC 326 as of January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective transition approach for all credit losses. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and disclosures required under ASC 326 will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2020.

We considered the impact of adoption by reviewing historical losses in conjunction with current and future economic conditions on the following financial assets: i) cash equivalents, ii) accounts receivable, iii) contract assets and iv) long-term receivables. Historical losses for these financial assets were previously insignificant with the exception of accounts receivable. We estimate credit losses on accounts receivable based on historical losses and then take into account estimates of current and future economic conditions. Our historical loss model is based on past due customer receivable balances and considers past collection experience, historical write-offs as well as the customer’s overall financial condition. Customer receivables are considered past due if payments have not been received within the agreed invoice terms. These historical losses are aggregated based on the type of customer (direct and indirect) and the geographic region (North America and International). The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Derivative Financial Instruments

As of March 28, 2020, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $989 million, compared to $1.1 billion outstanding as of December 31, 2019. Management believes that these financial instruments should not subject us to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions.

The following table shows the five largest net notional amounts of the positions to buy or sell foreign currency as of March 28, 2020, and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2019: 

	Notional Amount
Net Buy (Sell) by Currency	March 28, 2020		December 31, 2019
Euro	$	228	$	134
Norwegian krone	28		32
Canadian dollar	21		8
Australian dollar	(93)		(123)
Chinese renminbi	(74)		(79)

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 March 28, 2020 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II—Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

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 condensed consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. However, an unfavorable resolution could have a material adverse effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations in the periods in which the matters are ultimately resolved, or in the periods in which more information is obtained that changes management's opinion of the ultimate disposition.

On February 14, 2020, we announced that a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois decided in our favor in our trade secret theft and copyright infringement case against Hytera Communications Corporation Limited (SHE: 002583) of Shenzhen, China; Hytera America, Inc.; and Hytera Communications America (West), Inc. (collectively, “Hytera”). In connection with this verdict, the jury awarded us $345.8 million in compensatory damages and $418.8 million in punitive damages, for a total of $764.6 million. A motion for a new trial was filed by Hytera subsequent to the quarter.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business results of operations, financial position, cash flows and stock price may be adversely affected by the recent COVID-19 outbreak.

Health concerns arising from the COVID-19 pandemic may have adverse effects on our business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and stock price. COVID-19 could adversely impact our supply chain and distribution systems as well as the demand for our products and services. Although we have been permitted to continue to operate in jurisdictions that have mandated the closure of certain businesses, and we expect to continue to do so in the future, there is no assurance that we will be permitted to operate under every future government order or restriction. Any future restrictions or closures could have a material impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow. In particular, any limitations on, or closures of, our manufacturing facilities in Malaysia, Canada, Mexico and the United States (Illinois, California, Texas), or our distribution centers in Malaysia, Germany, Canada and the United States (Illinois, California, Texas), could have a material adverse impact on our ability to manufacture products and service customers and in return, have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. This extends as well to any potential disruptions to transportation including reduced availability of air transportation capacity and ocean freight capacity which can lead to longer transit times and increases in freight costs to deliver our products. If diminished transportation capacity levels continue, the speed at which we deliver our products will continue to be slower than the delivery times that we traditionally provide to our customers and could negatively impact our ability to meet customer demand.

Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we could experience materially adverse impacts to our business due to any resulting economic downturns. Additionally, concerns over the economic impact of COVID-19 have caused volatility in financial and other capital markets which has and may continue to adversely impact our stock price. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in our 2019 Annual Report, such as those relating to our products, financial performance or access to capital markets.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On March 3, 2020, the Company issued 33,072 shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of a cybersecurity services business. The stock was issued for an aggregate grant-date fair value of $6 million that will be expensed over an average service period of two years.
