1.Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of October 1, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to state 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.

The Company operates on a 52-week fiscal year, with each fiscal year ending on December 31. With respect to each fiscal quarter, the Company operates on a 13-week fiscal quarter, with all fiscal quarters ending on a Saturday.

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, 2021 (the "Form 10-K"). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 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 Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2022-04, “Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations,” which requires disclosures to enhance transparency about an entity’s use of supplier finance programs. The amendments require a buyer that uses supplier finance programs to disclose the program’s key terms, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a rollforward of such amounts during each annual period and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented. Only the amount outstanding at the end of the period must be disclosed in interim periods. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 on a retrospective basis, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the requirement to disclose rollforward information, which is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of the update. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements and disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity," which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments. The new guidance removes the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature or a beneficial conversion feature. In addition, the new standard requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. The Company adopted ASU No. 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective method of adoption. As a result of the adoption of this ASU, the Company's $1 billion of 1.75% senior convertible notes due 2024 issued to Silver Lake Partners (the "Senior Convertible Notes") are accounted as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, given the embedded conversion feature does not require bifurcation and recognition as a derivative. Upon adoption of this ASU, amounts previously recognized in additional paid-in capital from the original embedded conversion feature of $10 million were reclassified to retained earnings. The Company uses the if-converted method as required under ASU No. 2020-06 to determine the dilutive effect of the convertible instrument. Refer to Note 4, "Other Financial Data" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for the effect of the Senior Convertible Notes on diluted earnings per common share.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers," which requires companies to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities relating to contracts with customers that are acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 606. Under current U.S. GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers, at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU No. 2021-08 results in the acquirer recording acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same basis that would have been recorded by the acquiree before the acquisition under ASC Topic 606. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and

9

disclosures. The Company anticipates that this adoption will generally result in the Company recognizing larger contract liabilities in connection with business combinations.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10, "Government Assistance (Topic 832) – Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance." This ASU requires disclosures to increase the transparency of transactions with a governmental entity accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy, including disclosures around: (1) the types of transactions, (2) the accounting for those transactions, and (3) the effect of those transactions on an entity’s financial statements. The ASU was effective for the Company on January 1, 2022, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.

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 values associated with remaining performance obligations which were not yet satisfied as of October 1, 2022 was $9.1 billion. A total of $4.8 billion was from Products and Systems Integration performance obligations that were not yet satisfied as of October 1, 2022, of which $2.9 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 $4.3 billion was from Software and Services performance obligations that were not yet satisfied as of October 1, 2022. 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 $1.4 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:

Earnings	$	279	$	307	$	774	$	844
Weighted average common shares outstanding	167.2		169.2		167.5		169.3
Add effect of dilutive securities:

Per share amount	$	1.63	$	1.76	$	4.50	$	4.87

In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended October 1, 2022, the assumed exercise of 0.4 million options, including 0.2 million subject to market based contingent option agreements, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended October 1, 2022, the assumed exercise of 0.2 million options, including 0.1 million subject to market based contingent option agreements, were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

14

In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended October 2, 2021, no shares were considered anti-dilutive. In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended October 2, 2021, the assumed exercise of 0.2 million options, including 0.1 million subject to market based contingent option agreements, were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

As of October 1, 2022, the Company had $1.0 billion of the Senior Convertible Notes outstanding, which mature on September 15, 2024. 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), adjusted for dividends declared through the date of settlement. The notes became fully convertible as of September 5, 2021, when the average stock price exceeded the contractual conversion price, providing the holders the option to convert all or any portion of their Senior Convertible Notes. In November 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved an irrevocable determination requiring the future settlement of the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes to be settled in cash. Because the Company has irrevocably decided to settle the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes in cash, the Company did not reflect any shares underlying the Senior Convertible Notes in its diluted weighted average shares outstanding until the average stock price per share for the period exceeded the conversion price, which first occurred for the quarter ended October 2, 2021. Upon conversion of the Senior Convertible Notes, the Company has the option to settle the conversion spread in cash or shares. The Company included the number of shares that would be issuable upon conversion in the Company’s computation of diluted earnings per share, based on the amount by which the average stock price exceeded the conversion price for the period ended October 1, 2022. The value by which the Senior Convertible Notes exceeded their principal amount if converted as of October 1, 2022 was $189 million.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company began negotiations with the Home Office of the United Kingdom (the "Home Office") regarding an early exit by the Company from the Emergency Services Network ("ESN") communications systems contract, inclusive of twelve months of transition services. As a result of the negotiations, the Company determined that the future service potential of the asset is limited, based on the Company's intention to terminate the contract in advance of the contracted service term. During the three months ended October 1, 2022, the Company recorded a fixed asset impairment loss of $147 million related to assets constructed and used in the deployment of the ESN service contract with the Home Office based on its current expectation that, more likely than not, the ESN long-lived asset group will be disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The recognized impairment loss represents the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeded the fair value as of October 1, 2022, under a measurement of discounted cash flows. The impairment loss was recorded in the Software and Services segment within cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021 was $45 million and $49 million, respectively. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021 was $137 million and $153 million, respectively.

On May 31, 2022, the Company issued $600 million of 5.6% senior notes due 2032. The Company recognized net proceeds of $595 million after debt issuance costs and discounts. A portion of these proceeds was then used to repurchase $275 million in principal amount of the Company's 4.0% senior notes due 2024 pursuant to a cash tender offer, for a purchase price of $279 million, excluding $3 million of accrued interest. After accelerating the amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs, the Company recognized a loss of $6 million related to the tender offer in Other, net within Other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of October 1, 2022, the Company had a $2.25 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility scheduled to mature in March 2026 (the "2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement"). The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes a letter of credit sub-limit and fronting commitments of $450 million. 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. The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes provisions allowing the Company to replace LIBOR with a replacement benchmark rate in the future under certain conditions defined in the agreement. 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 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of October 1, 2022.

The Company has an unsecured commercial paper program, backed by the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement, 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.

6.    Risk Management

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $887 million and $1.1 billion for the periods ended October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. 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 October 1, 2022, and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2021: 

	Notional Amount
Net Buy (Sell) by Currency	October 1, 2022		December 31, 2021
British pound	$	202	$	128
Euro	181		164
Australian dollar	(101)		(76)
Chinese renminbi	(67)		(89)
Brazilian real	(34)		(23)

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 October 1, 2022, all of the counterparties had investment grade credit ratings. As of October 1, 2022, the Company had $17 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 October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Net Investment Hedges

The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts 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 investments 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 investments being hedged, until the investments are sold or liquidated. As of October 1, 2022, the Company had €100 million of net investment hedges in certain Euro functional subsidiaries and £15 million of net investment hedges in a British pound functional subsidiary.

The Company excludes the difference between the spot rate and the forward rate of the forward contract from its assessment of hedge effectiveness. The effect of the excluded components will be amortized on a straight line basis and recognized through interest expense. During the nine months ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, the Company amortized $1 million of income from the excluded components through interest expense, respectively.

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.

In January 2022, the Company completed an intra-group transfer of certain intellectual property ("IP") rights from non-U.S. wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company to the United States in order to better align with current and future business operations. The transfer resulted in a step-up in tax basis driven by the fair value of the transferred IP rights, resulting in a one-time net deferred benefit of $77 million in the quarter ended April 2, 2022. The determination of the fair value involves judgment on future revenue growth, operating margins and discount rates. The Company expects to realize the net deferred tax asset recorded as a result of the IP transfer and will periodically assess such realizability. The tax-deductible amortization related to the transferred IP rights will be recognized over a 15-year period.

The following table provides details of income taxes:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	October 1, 2022			October 2, 2021			October 1, 2022			October 2, 2021
Net earnings before income taxes	$	333		$	405		$	852		$	1,034
Income tax expense	53			97			75			186
Effective tax rate	16		%	24		%	9		%	18		%

The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 1, 2022 of 16% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 1, 2022 of 9% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to a net deferred tax benefit as a result of an intra-group transfer of certain IP rights (as described above) and the excess tax benefits of share-based compensation.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 2, 2021 of 24% was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% due to state tax expense, offset by the excess tax benefits of share-based compensation. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 of 18% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to a tax benefit related to a partial release of $33 million of a valuation allowance recorded on the U.S. foreign tax credit carryforward and the excess tax benefits of share-based compensation.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 1, 2022 of 16% was lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended October 2, 2021 of 24%, primarily due to higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation in 2022. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 1, 2022 of 9% was lower than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 of 18%, primarily due to a net deferred tax benefit as a result of an intra-group transfer of certain IP rights

21

(as described above) and higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation in 2022, offset by a tax benefit due to a partial release of a valuation allowance in 2021.

12.    Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

Hytera Litigation

On March 14, 2017, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the "Court") against Hytera Communications Corporation Limited of Shenzhen, China; Hytera America, Inc.; and Hytera Communications America (West), Inc. (collectively, "Hytera"), alleging trade secret theft and copyright infringement and seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, compensatory damages, and punitive damages. On February 14, 2020, the Company announced that a jury in the Court decided in the Company's favor in its trade secret theft and copyright infringement case. In connection with this verdict, the jury awarded the Company $345.8 million in compensatory damages and $418.8 million in punitive damages, for a total of $764.6 million. On December 17, 2020, the Court denied the Company’s motion for a permanent injunction, finding instead that Hytera must pay the Company a forward-looking reasonable royalty on products that use the Company’s stolen trade secrets. As the parties were unable to agree on a reasonable royalty rate, the Court entered an order favorable to the Company on December 15, 2021, and, consistent with the Company's requests, set royalty rates for Hytera's sale of relevant products from July 1, 2019 forward. On July 5, 2022, the Court ordered that Hytera pay into a third-party escrow on July 31, 2022, the royalties owed to the Company based on the sale of relevant products from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2022. Hytera failed to make the required royalty payment on July 31, 2022. On August 1, 2022, Hytera filed a motion to modify or stay the Court's previous July 5, 2022 royalty order. On August 3, 2022, the Company filed a motion seeking to hold Hytera in civil contempt for violating the royalty order by not making the required royalty payment.

In response to the Court's decision to award the Company $764.6 million in compensatory and punitive damages, Hytera motioned for certain equitable relief, which the Court granted on January 8, 2021, reducing the $764.6 million judgment award to $543.7 million. That same day, the Court also granted the Company’s motion for pre-judgment interest. On August 10, 2021, the Court ruled that Hytera must pay the Company $51.1 million in pre-judgment interest and $2.6 million in costs. On March 25, 2021, the Court entered rulings favorable to the Company with respect to several of the Company's post-trial motions, including the Company's motion for attorneys' fees and its motion to require Hytera to turn over certain assets in satisfaction of the Company’s judgment award. On October 15, 2021, the Court granted the Company’s request for $34.2 million in attorneys’ fees against Hytera. On September 29, 2021, the Company filed two additional motions with the Court, requesting the Court to reconsider its order denying the Company’s request for an injunction, and requesting that the Court enforce its ruling requiring Hytera to turn over certain assets in satisfaction of the Company's judgment award, or, in the alternative, hold Hytera in contempt. On July 5, 2022, the Court denied both motions.

On September 7, 2021, Hytera filed a notice of appeal of the Court’s judgment with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (the "Court of Appeals"). The Court of Appeals dismissed the notice of appeal on February 16, 2022 after determining that such appeal was premature. On August 2, 2022, after the Court denied the motions described above on July 5, 2022, Hytera filed a renewed notice of appeal in the Court of Appeals. The Company filed its cross-appeal on August 5, 2022.

Hytera Bankruptcy Proceedings

Separate from the Company's litigation with Hytera, on May 27, 2020, Hytera America, Inc. and Hytera Communications America (West), Inc. each filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Company filed motions in the Bankruptcy Court to dismiss the bankruptcy proceedings in July 2020. On January 22, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an agreed order, allowing a partial sale of Hytera's U.S. assets in the bankruptcy proceedings. The proposed sale does not include Hytera inventory accused of including the Company’s intellectual property. On February 11, 2022, the Court entered an order to confirm the liquidation plan for the two Hytera entities and the distributions were made on February 25, 2022 to the creditors, including a distribution of $13 million to the Company. The gain was recorded to Other charges (income) in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Executive Overview

Business Overview

The Company reports net sales in the following three major products and services (which we refer to as “technologies” in this Form 10-Q): Land Mobile Radio Communications (“LMR” or “LMR Communications”), Video Security and Access Control ("Video") and Command Center Software.

•LMR Communications: Infrastructure, devices (two-way radio and broadband, including both for public safety and Professional Commercial Radio ("PCR")) and software that enable communications, inclusive of installation and integration, backed by services, to assure availability, security and resiliency.

•Video Security and Access Control: Cameras (fixed, body-worn, in-vehicle), access control, infrastructure, video management, software and artificial intelligence-enabled analytics that enable visibility “on scene” and bring attention to what’s important.

•Command Center Software: Software suite that enables collaboration and seamless information sharing through the public safety workflow from "911 call to case closure."

Third Quarter Financial Results

•Net sales were $2.4 billion in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $2.1 billion in the third quarter of 2021.

•Operating earnings were $373 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $451 million in the third quarter of 2021.

•Net earnings attributable to Motorola Solutions, Inc. were $279 million, or $1.63 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $307 million, or $1.76 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2021.

•Operating cash flow decreased $584 million to $550 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to $1.1 billion in the first nine months of 2021.

•We repurchased $749 million of common stock and paid $398 million in dividends in the first nine months of 2022.

Macroeconomic Events

During the third quarter of 2022, we continued to operate under challenging market conditions, influenced by events such as those discussed below.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

During the first quarter of 2022, in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, we suspended all sales, provision of services and shipments of our products to Russia and Belarus. Russia, Ukraine and Belarus do not constitute a material portion of our business. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our net sales in Russia and Belarus were less than $25 million. While we do not anticipate that the current posture of the Russia-Ukraine conflict will materially and adversely affect our results of operations, the conflict is still ongoing and future impacts, including those relating to an escalation of the conflict’s current scope or expansion of the conflict’s economic disruption, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. During the first nine months of 2022, we indirectly experienced impacts from the Russia-Ukraine conflict (as further described below). The conflict has and may continue to have a significant impact on the global macroeconomic and geopolitical environments, including increased volatility in capital and commodity markets, rapid changes to regulatory conditions (including the use of sanctions), supply chain and operational challenges for multinational corporations, inflationary pressures and an increased risk of cybersecurity incidents. For a more complete discussion of the risks we encounter in our business, please refer to Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in the Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in this Form 10-Q.

COVID-19, Supply Chain Disruptions & Inflationary Cost Environment

Our supply chain has been impacted by global issues related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the inflationary cost environment throughout the first nine months of 2022, particularly with respect to materials in the semiconductor market, including part shortages, increased freight costs, diminished transportation capacity and labor constraints. This has resulted in disruptions in our supply chain, as well as difficulties and delays in procuring certain semiconductor components. Since the latter part of the fourth quarter of 2021, cost increases have been driven by elevated lead times and increased material costs, in particular the need to purchase semiconductor components from alternative sources, including brokers. We anticipate increased costs to procure materials within the semiconductor market to continue throughout 2022. Further, we anticipate the broader impact of inflationary pressures and increased material and supply chain costs and disruptions to continue throughout 2022. We are closely monitoring our supply chain, including impacts from manufacturing lockdowns related to the spread of COVID-19 in China which continue to disrupt the semiconductor supply market. Accordingly, in the first nine months of 2022 we focused on improving our supplier network, engineering alternative designs and working to reduce supply shortages. We are actively managing our inventory in an effort to minimize supply chain disruptions and enable continuity of supply and services to our customers, and we expect to maintain elevated levels of inventory until supply constraints have been remediated.

In order to combat rising inflation in the U.S., the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates multiple times since the beginning of 2022. The increase in U.S. dollar interest rates and overall market conditions have led to significant strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other global currencies in 2022. The strong U.S. dollar reduced the impact of cash generated from our foreign operations during the first nine months of 2022, driven by revenues and costs that are denominated in foreign currencies, which has negatively impacted, and which we expect to continue to impact, our operating cash flows and net earnings throughout 2022.

Although the macroeconomic environment continued to introduce challenges in the first nine months of 2022, we are encouraged by customer demand for our products and services. Specifically, in our Software and Services segment, with the largely recurring nature of the business and our strong backlog position, we continue to expect that the impact to operating margin will be limited throughout 2022. While we are encouraged by strong backlog and growth in our Products and Systems Integration segment in the first nine months of 2022, which we expect to continue to grow for the remainder of 2022, supply constraints continue to impact our business and we expect demand for our products will continue to out-pace our ability to obtain semiconductor component supply throughout 2022. Where appropriate, we have taken pricing actions around our product and service offerings to mitigate our exposure to inflationary pressures on our businesses and benefited from these adjustments during the third quarter of 2022. We expect to further benefit from such adjustments during the fourth quarter of 2022. Further, demand continues to be supported with ongoing sources of government funding. In March 2021, the President of the United States signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 ("ARPA"), which is intended to provide economic stimulus, specifically additional funding to state and local governments, education and healthcare, as well as other funding relief provisions, in order to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We experienced the positive impact of the ARPA funding

30

on our business and results of operations during the first nine months of 2022 and anticipate that the ARPA will continue to have a positive impact throughout the remainder of 2022.

We believe our existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, along with other short-term liquidity arrangements, will continue to be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements associated with our existing operations. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants in the 2021 unsecured revolving credit facility as of October 1, 2022. Additionally, we have no bond maturities until 2024. We continue to assess our operating expenses and identify cost reducing initiatives, including lower travel costs, contractor spend and reducing our real estate footprint.

Lastly, as a result of the challenging market conditions described above, we evaluated whether there were any impairment indicators as of October 1, 2022, which included a review of our receivables and contract assets, inventory, right-of-use lease assets, long-lived assets, investments, goodwill and intangible assets. As of the end of the third quarter of 2022, we concluded our assets were fairly stated and recoverable.

Recent Events

CMA Update

In October 2021, the United Kingdom’s Competition and Markets Authority (the "CMA") announced that it had opened a market investigation into the Mobile Radio Network for the Police and Emergency Services. This investigation affects Airwave, our private mobile radio communications network that we acquired in 2016. Airwave provides mission-critical voice and data communications to public emergency service agencies in Great Britain. In October 2022, the CMA published a provisional decision with its findings regarding competition and proposed remedies. We disagree with the CMA’s provisional decision and will continue to work with the CMA to demonstrate the value of the Airwave network and protect Airwave’s contractual position.

ESN Matters

During the third quarter of 2022, we began negotiations with the Home Office of the United Kingdom (the "Home Office") regarding an early exit by us from the Emergency Services Network ("ESN") communications systems contract, inclusive of twelve months of transition services. As a result of the negotiations, we determined that the future service potential of the asset is limited, based on our intention to terminate the contract in advance of the contracted service term. During the three months ended October 1, 2022, we recorded a fixed asset impairment loss of $147 million related to assets constructed and used in the deployment of the ESN service contract with the Home Office based on our current expectation that, more likely than not, the ESN long-lived asset group will be disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The recognized impairment loss represents the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeded the fair value as of October 1, 2022, under a measurement of discounted cash flows. The impairment loss was recorded in the Software and Services segment within cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Inflation Reduction Act

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") was enacted into law in the United States. Included in the IRA is a provision to implement a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on corporations based on "adjusted financial statement income," which would be effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. We are continuing to evaluate the provisions of the IRA, but we do not believe the IRA will have a material impact on our financial results, including the effective tax rate.

Results of Operations—Three months ended October 1, 2022 compared to three months ended October 2, 2021

The results of operations for the third quarter of 2022 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.

We use the following U.S. GAAP key financial performance measures to manage our business on a consolidated basis and by reporting segment, and to monitor and assess our results of operations:

•Net sales: a measure of our revenue for the current period.

•Operating earnings: a measure of our earnings from operations, before non-operating expenses and income taxes.

•Operating margins: a measure of our operating earnings as a percentage of total net sales.

Considered together, we believe these measures are strong indicators of our overall performance and our ability to create shareholder value. A discussion of our results of operations and financial condition follows.

The Products and Systems Integration segment's net sales represented 61% of our net sales in the first nine months of 2022 and 60% in the first nine months of 2021. Net sales from the Software and Services segment represented 39% of our net sales in the first nine months of 2022 and 40% in the first nine months of 2021.

Net sales increased $554 million, or 9%, in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021. The $380 million, or 11%, increase in net sales within the Products and Systems Integration segment was driven by an increase of 14% in the North America region and an increase of 2% in the International region. The $174 million, or 8%, increase in net sales within the Software and Services segment was driven by an increase of 13% in the North America region and consistent net sales in the International region. Net sales includes:

•an increase in the Products and Systems Integration segment, inclusive of $33 million of revenue from acquisitions, driven by an increase in LMR and Video; and

Gross margin was 44.9% of net sales in the first nine months of 2022 compared to 48.8% in the first nine months of 2021. The primary drivers of this decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales were:

•lower gross margin as a percentage of net sales in the Software and Services segment, inclusive of acquisitions, primarily driven by a fixed asset impairment loss of $147 million related to assets constructed and used in the deployment of the ESN service contract with the Home Office and a change in year-over-year mix; and

•lower gross margin as a percentage of net sales in the Products and Systems Integration segment, inclusive of acquisitions, primarily driven by an increase in material and freight costs and partially offset by price increases and volume leverage.

Income tax expense	$	75	$	186

Income tax expense decreased by $111 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021, resulting in an effective tax rate of 9%. Our effective tax rate of 9% for the nine months ended October 1, 2022 was lower than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 of 18%, primarily due to a net deferred tax benefit as a result of an intra-group transfer of certain intellectual property rights and higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation in 2022, offset by a tax benefit due to a partial release of a valuation allowance in 2021 (see Note 7, "Income Taxes" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further information).

Reorganization of Business

During the third quarter of 2022, we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $14 million, including $2 million of charges recorded within Other charges and $12 million of charges in Costs of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At October 1, 2022, $469 million of the $822 million cash and cash equivalents balance was held in the U.S. and $353 million was held in other countries, with $62 million held in the United Kingdom.

Operating Activities

The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities from the first nine months of 2021 to the first nine months of 2022 was driven primarily by higher working capital due to an increase in inventory, higher employee incentive payments and higher cash taxes.

Investing Activities

The increase in cash flows used for investing activities in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021 was primarily due to a $230 million increase in cash used for acquisitions and investments.

Financing Activities

The increase in cash flows used for financing activities in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021 was primarily driven by (see also further discussion in the "Debt," "Share Repurchase Program" and "Dividends" sections below in this Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q):

Total proceeds from receivable sales	$	42	$	137	$	175	$	336

During the nine months ended October 1, 2022, we completed the final draw against a cost-efficient receivables discounting facility, implemented in 2020 to neutralize the impact of increased payment terms under a renegotiated and extended long-term contract in Europe. The proceeds of our receivable sales are included in Operating activities within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Debt

We had outstanding debt of $6.0 billion and $5.7 billion at October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, including the current portions of $1 million and $5 million, at October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

On May 31, 2022, we issued $600 million of 5.6% senior notes due 2032. We recognized net proceeds of $595 million after debt issuance costs and discounts. A portion of these proceeds was then used to repurchase $275 million in principal amount of our 4.0% senior notes due 2024 pursuant to a cash tender offer, for a purchase price of $279 million, excluding $3 million of accrued interest. After accelerating the amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs, we recognized a loss of $6 million related to the tender offer in Other, net within Other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We have a $2.25 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility scheduled to mature in March 2026 (the "2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement"). The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes a letter of credit sub-limit and fronting commitments of $450 million. 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 our option. The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes provisions allowing us to replace LIBOR with a replacement benchmark rate in the future under certain conditions defined in the agreement. 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 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with our financial covenants as of October 1, 2022.

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 ("Senior Convertible Notes"). Interest on these notes is payable semiannually. The Senior Convertible Notes became fully convertible on September 5, 2021. 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 November 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved an irrevocable determination requiring the future settlement of the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes to be settled in cash.

We have an unsecured commercial paper program, backed by the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement, 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 October 1, 2022 we had no outstanding debt under the commercial paper program.

Share Repurchase Program

During the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022, we paid an aggregate of $94 million and $749 million, respectively, including transaction costs, to repurchase approximately 0.4 million and 3.3 million shares at an average price of $236.46 and $224.35 per share. As of October 1, 2022, we had used approximately $14.6 billion of the share repurchase authority to repurchase shares, leaving $1.4 billion of authority available for future repurchases.

Dividends

During the third quarter of 2022 we paid $132 million in cash dividends to holders of our common stock. During the first nine months of 2022 we paid $398 million in cash dividends to holders of our common stock. Subsequent to the quarter, we paid an additional $132 million in cash dividends to holders of our common stock.

Adequate Internal Funding Resources

We believe that we have adequate internal resources available to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet our expected working capital, capital expenditure and cash requirements for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future, as supported by the level of cash and cash equivalents in the U.S., the ability to repatriate funds from foreign jurisdictions, cash

42

provided by operations, as well as liquidity provided by our commercial paper program backed by the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement.

We do not anticipate a material decrease to net future cash flows generated from operations. We expect to use our available cash, investments, and debt facilities to support and invest in our business. This includes investing in our existing products and technologies, seeking new acquisition opportunities related to our strategic growth initiatives and returning cash to shareholders through common stock cash dividend payments (subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors) and share repurchases. Refer also to the “Macroeconomic Events” section in this Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of the impact of macroeconomic events on our liquidity.

Long-Term Customer Financing Commitments

We had outstanding commitments to provide long-term financing to third parties totaling $127 million at October 1, 2022, compared to $56 million at December 31, 2021.

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 October 1, 2022 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Form 10-K, other than the updates below.

As we expand the technologies within our Products and Systems Integration and Software and Services segments, we may be subject to additional compliance obligations and face increased competition and increased areas of risk that we may not be able to properly assess or mitigate, which could harm our market share, results of operations and financial condition or result in additional liabilities for our business.

The process of developing new video security and software products and enhancing existing products is complex, costly and uncertain, and any failure by us to anticipate customers' changing needs, emerging technological trends and development costs accurately could significantly harm our market share, results of operations and financial condition. Any failure to accurately predict technological and business trends, control research and development costs or execute our innovation strategy could harm our business and financial performance. Our research and development initiatives may not be successful in whole or in part, including research and development projects which we have prioritized with respect to funding and/or personnel.

We may face increasing competition from traditional system integrators, the defense industry, commercial software companies, and commercial telecommunication carriers as services contracts become larger and more complicated. Expansion will bring us into contact with new regulatory requirements and restrictions, such as data security or data residency/localization obligations, with which we will have to comply and may increase the costs of doing business, reduce margins and delay or limit the range of new solutions and services which we will be able to offer. We may be required to agree to specific performance metrics that meet the customer's requirements for network security, availability, reliability, maintenance and support and, in some cases, if these performance metrics are not met we may not be paid.

Additionally, our expanding portfolio of products may be subject to additional compliance obligations and liabilities for our business. For example, in October 2021, the United Kingdom’s Competition and Markets Authority (the “CMA”) announced that it had opened a market investigation into the Mobile Radio Network for the Police and Emergency Services. This investigation affects Airwave, our private mobile radio communications network that we acquired in 2016. Airwave provides mission-critical voice and data communications to public emergency service agencies in Great Britain. In October 2022, the CMA published a provisional decision with its findings regarding competition and proposed remedies. We disagree with the CMA's provisional decision and will continue to work with the CMA to demonstrate the value of the Airwave network and protect Airwave's contractual position; however, the ultimate resolution of the CMA market investigation could result in additional compliance obligations for our Airwave business such as prospective price controls, enhanced information transparency or structural remedies.

We are exposed to risks under large, multi-year system and services contracts that may negatively impact our business.

We enter into large, multi-year system and services contracts with municipal, state, and nationwide government and commercial customers. In some cases, we may not be the prime contractor and may be dependent on other third-parties such as commercial carriers or systems integrators. Our entry into these contracts exposes us to risks, including among others: (i) technological risks, (ii) risk of defaults by third-parties on whom we are relying for products or services as part of our offering or who are the prime contractors, (iii) financial risks, including the estimates inherent in projecting costs associated with large, long-term contracts, the impact of currency fluctuations, inflation, and the related impact on operating results, (iv) cybersecurity risk, especially in managed services contracts with public safety and commercial customers that process data, and (v) political risk, especially related to the contracts with government customers, including our Airwave and Emergency Services Network (“ESN”) government contracts in the United Kingdom. For example, with respect to financial risks of such contracts, in the third quarter of 2022, we realized a fixed asset impairment loss of $147 million related to our ESN service contract with the Home Office of the United Kingdom. In addition, multi-year awards from governmental customers may often only receive partial funding initially and may typically be cancellable on short notice with limited penalties. Recovery of front-loaded capital expenditures in long-term managed services contracts is dependent on the continued viability of such customers. The termination of funding for a government program or insolvency of commercial customer could result in a loss of anticipated future revenue attributable to that program, which could have an adverse impact on our profitability.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of October 1, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to state 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.

The Company operates on a 52-week fiscal year, with each fiscal year ending on December 31. With respect to each fiscal quarter, the Company operates on a 13-week fiscal quarter, with all fiscal quarters ending on a Saturday.

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, 2021 (the "Form 10-K"). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 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 Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2022-04, “Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations,” which requires disclosures to enhance transparency about an entity’s use of supplier finance programs. The amendments require a buyer that uses supplier finance programs to disclose the program’s key terms, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a rollforward of such amounts during each annual period and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented. Only the amount outstanding at the end of the period must be disclosed in interim periods. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 on a retrospective basis, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the requirement to disclose rollforward information, which is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of the update. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements and disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity," which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments. The new guidance removes the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature or a beneficial conversion feature. In addition, the new standard requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. The Company adopted ASU No. 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective method of adoption. As a result of the adoption of this ASU, the Company's $1 billion of 1.75% senior convertible notes due 2024 issued to Silver Lake Partners (the "Senior Convertible Notes") are accounted as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, given the embedded conversion feature does not require bifurcation and recognition as a derivative. Upon adoption of this ASU, amounts previously recognized in additional paid-in capital from the original embedded conversion feature of $10 million were reclassified to retained earnings. The Company uses the if-converted method as required under ASU No. 2020-06 to determine the dilutive effect of the convertible instrument. Refer to Note 4, "Other Financial Data" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for the effect of the Senior Convertible Notes on diluted earnings per common share.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers," which requires companies to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities relating to contracts with customers that are acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 606. Under current U.S. GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers, at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU No. 2021-08 results in the acquirer recording acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same basis that would have been recorded by the acquiree before the acquisition under ASC Topic 606. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and

disclosures. The Company anticipates that this adoption will generally result in the Company recognizing larger contract liabilities in connection with business combinations.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10, "Government Assistance (Topic 832) – Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance." This ASU requires disclosures to increase the transparency of transactions with a governmental entity accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy, including disclosures around: (1) the types of transactions, (2) the accounting for those transactions, and (3) the effect of those transactions on an entity’s financial statements. The ASU was effective for the Company on January 1, 2022, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.

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 values associated with remaining performance obligations which were not yet satisfied as of October 1, 2022 was $9.1 billion. A total of $4.8 billion was from Products and Systems Integration performance obligations that were not yet satisfied as of October 1, 2022, of which $2.9 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 $4.3 billion was from Software and Services performance obligations that were not yet satisfied as of October 1, 2022. 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 $1.4 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				Nine Months Ended
	October 1, 2022		October 2, 2021		October 1, 2022		October 2, 2021
Basic earnings per common share:
Earnings	$	279	$	307	$	774	$	844
Weighted average common shares outstanding	167.2		169.2		167.5		169.3
Per share amount	$	1.67	$	1.81	$	4.62	$	4.98
Diluted earnings per common share:
Earnings	$	279	$	307	$	774	$	844
Weighted average common shares outstanding	167.2		169.2		167.5		169.3
Add effect of dilutive securities:
Share-based awards	3.6		4.3		3.8		3.9
1.75% senior convertible notes	0.7		0.6		0.6		0.2
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	171.5		174.1		171.9		173.4
Per share amount	$	1.63	$	1.76	$	4.50	$	4.87

In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended October 1, 2022, the assumed exercise of 0.4 million options, including 0.2 million subject to market based contingent option agreements, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended October 1, 2022, the assumed exercise of 0.2 million options, including 0.1 million subject to market based contingent option agreements, were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended October 2, 2021, no shares were considered anti-dilutive. In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended October 2, 2021, the assumed exercise of 0.2 million options, including 0.1 million subject to market based contingent option agreements, were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

As of October 1, 2022, the Company had $1.0 billion of the Senior Convertible Notes outstanding, which mature on September 15, 2024. 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), adjusted for dividends declared through the date of settlement. The notes became fully convertible as of September 5, 2021, when the average stock price exceeded the contractual conversion price, providing the holders the option to convert all or any portion of their Senior Convertible Notes. In November 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved an irrevocable determination requiring the future settlement of the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes to be settled in cash. Because the Company has irrevocably decided to settle the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes in cash, the Company did not reflect any shares underlying the Senior Convertible Notes in its diluted weighted average shares outstanding until the average stock price per share for the period exceeded the conversion price, which first occurred for the quarter ended October 2, 2021. Upon conversion of the Senior Convertible Notes, the Company has the option to settle the conversion spread in cash or shares. The Company included the number of shares that would be issuable upon conversion in the Company’s computation of diluted earnings per share, based on the amount by which the average stock price exceeded the conversion price for the period ended October 1, 2022. The value by which the Senior Convertible Notes exceeded their principal amount if converted as of October 1, 2022 was $189 million.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company began negotiations with the Home Office of the United Kingdom (the "Home Office") regarding an early exit by the Company from the Emergency Services Network ("ESN") communications systems contract, inclusive of twelve months of transition services. As a result of the negotiations, the Company determined that the future service potential of the asset is limited, based on the Company's intention to terminate the contract in advance of the contracted service term. During the three months ended October 1, 2022, the Company recorded a fixed asset impairment loss of $147 million related to assets constructed and used in the deployment of the ESN service contract with the Home Office based on its current expectation that, more likely than not, the ESN long-lived asset group will be disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The recognized impairment loss represents the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeded the fair value as of October 1, 2022, under a measurement of discounted cash flows. The impairment loss was recorded in the Software and Services segment within cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021 was $45 million and $49 million, respectively. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021 was $137 million and $153 million, respectively.

On May 31, 2022, the Company issued $600 million of 5.6% senior notes due 2032. The Company recognized net proceeds of $595 million after debt issuance costs and discounts. A portion of these proceeds was then used to repurchase $275 million in principal amount of the Company's 4.0% senior notes due 2024 pursuant to a cash tender offer, for a purchase price of $279 million, excluding $3 million of accrued interest. After accelerating the amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs, the Company recognized a loss of $6 million related to the tender offer in Other, net within Other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of October 1, 2022, the Company had a $2.25 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility scheduled to mature in March 2026 (the "2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement"). The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes a letter of credit sub-limit and fronting commitments of $450 million. 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. The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes provisions allowing the Company to replace LIBOR with a replacement benchmark rate in the future under certain conditions defined in the agreement. 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 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of October 1, 2022.

The Company has an unsecured commercial paper program, backed by the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement, 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 October 1, 2022 the Company had no outstanding debt under the commercial paper program.

Risk Management

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $887 million and $1.1 billion for the periods ended October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. 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 October 1, 2022, and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2021: 

	Notional Amount
Net Buy (Sell) by Currency	October 1, 2022		December 31, 2021

Euro	181		164
Australian dollar	(101)		(76)
Chinese renminbi	(67)		(89)
Brazilian real	(34)		(23)

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 October 1, 2022, all of the counterparties had investment grade credit ratings. As of October 1, 2022, the Company had $17 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 October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Net Investment Hedges

The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts 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 investments 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 investments being hedged, until the investments are sold or liquidated. As of October 1, 2022, the Company had €100 million of net investment hedges in certain Euro functional subsidiaries and £15 million of net investment hedges in a British pound functional subsidiary.

The Company excludes the difference between the spot rate and the forward rate of the forward contract from its assessment of hedge effectiveness. The effect of the excluded components will be amortized on a straight line basis and recognized through interest expense. During the nine months ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, the Company amortized $1 million of income from the excluded components through interest expense, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

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.

In January 2022, the Company completed an intra-group transfer of certain intellectual property ("IP") rights from non-U.S. wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company to the United States in order to better align with current and future business operations. The transfer resulted in a step-up in tax basis driven by the fair value of the transferred IP rights, resulting in a one-time net deferred benefit of $77 million in the quarter ended April 2, 2022. The determination of the fair value involves judgment on future revenue growth, operating margins and discount rates. The Company expects to realize the net deferred tax asset recorded as a result of the IP transfer and will periodically assess such realizability. The tax-deductible amortization related to the transferred IP rights will be recognized over a 15-year period.

The following table provides details of income taxes:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	October 1, 2022			October 2, 2021			October 1, 2022			October 2, 2021
Net earnings before income taxes	$	333		$	405		$	852		$	1,034
Income tax expense	53			97			75			186
Effective tax rate	16		%	24		%	9		%	18		%

The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 1, 2022 of 16% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 1, 2022 of 9% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to a net deferred tax benefit as a result of an intra-group transfer of certain IP rights (as described above) and the excess tax benefits of share-based compensation.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 2, 2021 of 24% was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% due to state tax expense, offset by the excess tax benefits of share-based compensation. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 of 18% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to a tax benefit related to a partial release of $33 million of a valuation allowance recorded on the U.S. foreign tax credit carryforward and the excess tax benefits of share-based compensation.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 1, 2022 of 16% was lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended October 2, 2021 of 24%, primarily due to higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation in 2022. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 1, 2022 of 9% was lower than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 of 18%, primarily due to a net deferred tax benefit as a result of an intra-group transfer of certain IP rights

(as described above) and higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation in 2022, offset by a tax benefit due to a partial release of a valuation allowance in 2021.

Legal Matters

Hytera Litigation

On March 14, 2017, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the "Court") against Hytera Communications Corporation Limited of Shenzhen, China; Hytera America, Inc.; and Hytera Communications America (West), Inc. (collectively, "Hytera"), alleging trade secret theft and copyright infringement and seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, compensatory damages, and punitive damages. On February 14, 2020, the Company announced that a jury in the Court decided in the Company's favor in its trade secret theft and copyright infringement case. In connection with this verdict, the jury awarded the Company $345.8 million in compensatory damages and $418.8 million in punitive damages, for a total of $764.6 million. On December 17, 2020, the Court denied the Company’s motion for a permanent injunction, finding instead that Hytera must pay the Company a forward-looking reasonable royalty on products that use the Company’s stolen trade secrets. As the parties were unable to agree on a reasonable royalty rate, the Court entered an order favorable to the Company on December 15, 2021, and, consistent with the Company's requests, set royalty rates for Hytera's sale of relevant products from July 1, 2019 forward. On July 5, 2022, the Court ordered that Hytera pay into a third-party escrow on July 31, 2022, the royalties owed to the Company based on the sale of relevant products from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2022. Hytera failed to make the required royalty payment on July 31, 2022. On August 1, 2022, Hytera filed a motion to modify or stay the Court's previous July 5, 2022 royalty order. On August 3, 2022, the Company filed a motion seeking to hold Hytera in civil contempt for violating the royalty order by not making the required royalty payment.

In response to the Court's decision to award the Company $764.6 million in compensatory and punitive damages, Hytera motioned for certain equitable relief, which the Court granted on January 8, 2021, reducing the $764.6 million judgment award to $543.7 million. That same day, the Court also granted the Company’s motion for pre-judgment interest. On August 10, 2021, the Court ruled that Hytera must pay the Company $51.1 million in pre-judgment interest and $2.6 million in costs. On March 25, 2021, the Court entered rulings favorable to the Company with respect to several of the Company's post-trial motions, including the Company's motion for attorneys' fees and its motion to require Hytera to turn over certain assets in satisfaction of the Company’s judgment award. On October 15, 2021, the Court granted the Company’s request for $34.2 million in attorneys’ fees against Hytera. On September 29, 2021, the Company filed two additional motions with the Court, requesting the Court to reconsider its order denying the Company’s request for an injunction, and requesting that the Court enforce its ruling requiring Hytera to turn over certain assets in satisfaction of the Company's judgment award, or, in the alternative, hold Hytera in contempt. On July 5, 2022, the Court denied both motions.

On September 7, 2021, Hytera filed a notice of appeal of the Court’s judgment with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (the "Court of Appeals"). The Court of Appeals dismissed the notice of appeal on February 16, 2022 after determining that such appeal was premature. On August 2, 2022, after the Court denied the motions described above on July 5, 2022, Hytera filed a renewed notice of appeal in the Court of Appeals. The Company filed its cross-appeal on August 5, 2022.

Hytera Bankruptcy Proceedings

Separate from the Company's litigation with Hytera, on May 27, 2020, Hytera America, Inc. and Hytera Communications America (West), Inc. each filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Company filed motions in the Bankruptcy Court to dismiss the bankruptcy proceedings in July 2020. On January 22, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an agreed order, allowing a partial sale of Hytera's U.S. assets in the bankruptcy proceedings. The proposed sale does not include Hytera inventory accused of including the Company’s intellectual property. On February 11, 2022, the Court entered an order to confirm the liquidation plan for the two Hytera entities and the distributions were made on February 25, 2022 to the creditors, including a distribution of $13 million to the Company. The gain was recorded to Other charges (income) in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of October 1, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to state 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.

The Company operates on a 52-week fiscal year, with each fiscal year ending on December 31. With respect to each fiscal quarter, the Company operates on a 13-week fiscal quarter, with all fiscal quarters ending on a Saturday.

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, 2021 (the "Form 10-K"). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2022-04, “Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations,” which requires disclosures to enhance transparency about an entity’s use of supplier finance programs. The amendments require a buyer that uses supplier finance programs to disclose the program’s key terms, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a rollforward of such amounts during each annual period and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented. Only the amount outstanding at the end of the period must be disclosed in interim periods. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 on a retrospective basis, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the requirement to disclose rollforward information, which is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of the update. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements and disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity," which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments. The new guidance removes the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature or a beneficial conversion feature. In addition, the new standard requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. The Company adopted ASU No. 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective method of adoption. As a result of the adoption of this ASU, the Company's $1 billion of 1.75% senior convertible notes due 2024 issued to Silver Lake Partners (the "Senior Convertible Notes") are accounted as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, given the embedded conversion feature does not require bifurcation and recognition as a derivative. Upon adoption of this ASU, amounts previously recognized in additional paid-in capital from the original embedded conversion feature of $10 million were reclassified to retained earnings. The Company uses the if-converted method as required under ASU No. 2020-06 to determine the dilutive effect of the convertible instrument. Refer to Note 4, "Other Financial Data" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for the effect of the Senior Convertible Notes on diluted earnings per common share.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers," which requires companies to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities relating to contracts with customers that are acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 606. Under current U.S. GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers, at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU No. 2021-08 results in the acquirer recording acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same basis that would have been recorded by the acquiree before the acquisition under ASC Topic 606. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and

disclosures. The Company anticipates that this adoption will generally result in the Company recognizing larger contract liabilities in connection with business combinations.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10, "Government Assistance (Topic 832) – Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance." This ASU requires disclosures to increase the transparency of transactions with a governmental entity accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy, including disclosures around: (1) the types of transactions, (2) the accounting for those transactions, and (3) the effect of those transactions on an entity’s financial statements. The ASU was effective for the Company on January 1, 2022, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.
