1. Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of July 3, 2004 and for the three months and six months ended July 3, 2004 and June 28, 2003, include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of July 3, 2004 and for all periods presented.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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, 2003. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended July 3, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. Certain amounts in prior periods’ financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Stock Compensation Costs

 

The Company measures compensation cost for stock options and restricted stock using the intrinsic value-based method. Compensation cost, if any, is recorded based on the excess of the quoted market price at grant date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company has evaluated the pro forma effects of using the fair value-based method of accounting and as such, net earnings, basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share would have been as follows:

On May 4, 2004, the Company granted approximately 50 million options to approximately 32,000 eligible employees. The options were granted at fair market value and, in general, vest and become exercisable in 25% increments, annually, over the four years after the grant date.

 

4. Debt and Credit Facilities

 

On July 26, 2004, the Company announced plans to retire up to $1.7 billion of its outstanding debt. On that date, the Company commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of its $300 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 7.60% Notes due 2007 (2007 Notes). The tender offer expired on August 5, 2004 and an aggregate principal amount of approximately $182 million of 2007 Notes were validly tendered. On August 10, 2004, the Company repurchased the validly tendered 2007 Notes for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $202 million. In addition, on July 26, 2004, the Company called for the redemption of all of its $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of outstanding 6.75% Notes due 2006 (2006 Notes). The 2006 Notes will be redeemed on August 26, 2004.

 

In June 2004, the Company repaid, at maturity, the $500 million 6.75% debentures due 2004.

 

In May 2004, the Company signed a new multi-year revolving credit agreement for $1 billion, replacing two existing facilities totaling $1.6 billion. One significant change to the new facility from the previous facilities is the elimination of the requirement whereby the Company would have been obligated to provide the lenders with a pledge of, and security interest in, domestic inventories and receivables if the Company’s credit ratings would have dropped below certain levels.

 

In March 2004, Motorola Capital Trust I, a Delaware statutory business trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Trust”), redeemed all outstanding Trust Originated Preferred Securitiessm (“TOPrS”). In February 1999, the Trust sold 20 million TOPrS to the public for an aggregate offering price of $500 million. The Trust used the proceeds from that sale, together with the proceeds from its sale of common stock to the

Company, to buy a series of 6.68% Deferrable Interest Junior Subordinated Debentures due March 31, 2039 (“Subordinated Debentures”) from the Company with the same payment terms as the TOPrS. The sole assets of the Trust were the Subordinated Debentures. Historically, the TOPrS have been reflected as “Company-Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust Holding Solely Company-Guaranteed Debentures” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. On March 26, 2004, all outstanding TOPrS were redeemed for an aggregate redemption price of $500 million plus accrued interest. No TOPrS or Subordinated Debentures remain outstanding.

 

In March 2004, the Company also redeemed all outstanding Liquid Yield Option Notes due September 7, 2009 (the “2009 LYONs”) and all outstanding Liquid Yield Option Notes due September 27, 2013 (the “2013 LYONs”). On March 26, 2004, all then-outstanding 2009 LYONs and 2013 LYONs, not validly exchanged for stock, were redeemed for an aggregate redemption price of approximately $4 million. No 2009 LYONs or 2013 LYONs remain outstanding.

 

In December 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman”) to repurchase all of the Company’s $825 million of Puttable Reset Securities (PURS)sm due February 1, 2011 from Goldman. At that time, the Company paid Goldman $106 million to terminate Goldman’s annual remarketing rights associated with the PURS. In February 2003, the Company purchased the $825 million of PURS from Goldman with cash on hand.

 

In order to manage the mix of fixed and floating rates in its debt portfolio, the Company has entered into interest rate swaps to change the characteristics of interest rate payments from fixed-rate payments to short-term LIBOR-based variable rate payments. The principal amount of outstanding interest rate hedges was $4.0 billion and $4.5 billion at July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

The short-term LIBOR-based variable rate payments for each of the above interest rate swaps were 2.9% and 3.0% for the three months ended July 3, 2004 and June 28, 2003, respectively. The fair value of all interest rate swaps at July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003 was approximately $18 million and $150 million, respectively. Except for these interest rate swaps, the Company had no outstanding commodity derivatives, currency swaps or options relating to debt instruments at July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

 

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties in swap contracts. The Company minimizes its credit risk on these transactions by only dealing with leading, credit-worthy financial institutions having long-term debt ratings of “A” or better and, therefore, does not anticipate nonperformance. In addition, the contracts are distributed among several financial institutions, thus minimizing credit risk concentration.

 

5. Income Taxes

 

During the three months ended July 3, 2004, the Company recorded an $898 million non-cash tax charge to establish a deferred tax valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset balances of Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (Freescale Semiconductor). The valuation allowance was required when it became more likely than not that the Freescale Semiconductor IPO would occur, thereby, requiring Freescale Semiconductor to value its deferred tax asset balances as a stand alone taxpayer. The valuation allowance reduced the Company’s net deferred tax asset balance to $4.1 billion at July 3, 2004. The Company’s net deferred tax asset balance at December 31, 2003 was $5.0 billion.

 

During the three months ended July 3, 2004, the Company recorded the reversal of $272 million of previously-accrued income taxes as the result of settlements reached with taxing authorities and a reassessment of tax exposures based on the status of current audits. Of this amount, $197 million was recorded as a reduction in tax expense and $75 million, which related to previously-issued warrants, was reflected as an increase in Additional Paid-In Capital in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended June 28, 2003, the Company recorded the reversal of $61 million of previously-accrued income taxes related to the settlement of tax audits.

In June 2004, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed their field examination of the Company’s 1996 through 2000 tax returns. In connection with this examination, the Company received notices of certain adjustments proposed by the IRS, primarily related to transfer pricing. The Company disagrees with these proposed transfer pricing-related adjustments and intends to vigorously dispute this matter through applicable IRS and judicial procedures, as appropriate. However, if the IRS were to ultimately prevail on all matters relating to transfer pricing for the period of the examination, it could result in additional income for the years 1996 through 2000 of approximately $1.4 billion, which could result in additional income tax liability for the Company of approximately $500 million. The IRS may make similar claims for years subsequent to 2000 in future audits. Although the final resolution of the proposed adjustments is uncertain, based on current information, in the opinion of the Company’s management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, an unfavorable resolution could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations in the period in which the matter is ultimately resolved.

During the three months ended July 3, 2004, the Company made a $50 million contribution to the plan. In addition, a $50 million contribution was made in July 2004 bringing the total contribution in 2004 to $100 million.

At July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company had $1.9 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, of gross receivables from one customer, Telsim, in Turkey (the “Telsim Loan”) with the decline representing partial recovery of amounts owed due to collection efforts. As a result of difficulties in collecting the amounts due from Telsim, the Company has previously recorded charges reducing the net receivable from Telsim to zero. At both July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the net receivable from Telsim was zero. Although the Company continues to vigorously pursue its recovery efforts, it believes the litigation, collection and/or settlement process will be very lengthy in light of the Uzans’ (the family which previously controlled Telsim) continued resistance to

satisfy the judgment against them and their decision to violate various courts’ orders, including orders holding them in contempt of court.

 

The Company sells short-term receivables through the Motorola Receivables Corporation (“MRC”) short-term receivables program, which provides for up to $425 million of short-term receivables to be outstanding with third parties at any time. In addition, the Company sells short-term receivables directly to third parties. Total short-term receivables sold by the Company (including those sold directly to third parties and those sold through the MRC short-term receivables program) were $992 million and $664 million during the three months ended July 3, 2004 and June 28, 2003, respectively, and $1.9 billion and $1.4 billion during the six months ended July 3, 2004 and June 28, 2003, respectively. There were $1.0 billion and $771 million of short-term receivables outstanding under these arrangements at July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively (including $189 million and $170 million, respectively, under the MRC program). The Company’s total credit exposure to outstanding short-term receivables that have been sold was $20 million and $25 million at July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, with reserves of $3 million and $13 million recorded for potential losses on this exposure at July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

Certain purchasers of the Company’s infrastructure equipment continue to request that suppliers provide financing in connection with equipment purchases. Financing may include all or a portion of the purchase price of the equipment as well as working capital. The Company had outstanding commitments to extend credit to third-parties totaling $144 million and $149 million at July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

In addition to providing direct financing to certain equipment customers, the Company also assists customers in obtaining financing directly from banks and other sources to fund equipment purchases. The amount of loans from third parties for which the Company has committed to provide financial guarantees totaled $12 million and $10 million at July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. For the six months ended July 3, 2004 and June 28, 2003, no payments were made under the terms of these guarantees. At July 3, 2004, these financial guarantees are to two customers in the amounts of $6 million each and are scheduled to expire in 2005 and 2014. Customer borrowings outstanding under these third-party loan arrangements were $9 million and $10 million at July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Accrued liabilities of $1 million at both July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003 have been recorded to reflect management’s best estimate of probable losses of unrecoverable amounts should these guarantees be called.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal

 

Iridium Program: Motorola has been named as one of several defendants in putative class action securities lawsuits pending in the District of Columbia arising out of alleged misrepresentations or omissions regarding the Iridium satellite communications business. The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages. On March 15, 2001, the federal district court judge consolidated the various securities cases under Freeland v. Iridium World Communications, Inc., et al., originally filed on April 22, 1999. Motorola moved to dismiss the plaintiffs’ complaint on July 15, 2002, and that motion has not yet been decided.

 

Motorola has been sued by the Official Committee of the Unsecured Creditors of Iridium in the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on July 19, 2001. In re Iridium Operating LLC, et al. v. Motorola asserts claims for breach of contract, warranty, fiduciary duty, and fraudulent transfer and preferences, and seeks in excess of $4 billion in damages.

 

The Company has not reserved for any potential liability that may arise as a result of litigation related to the Iridium program. While the still pending cases are in various stages and the outcomes are not predictable, an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these cases could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

 

Other: The Company is a defendant in various other lawsuits, including environmental and product-related suits, and is subject to various claims which arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, and other than discussed above with respect to the still pending Iridium cases, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

 

Other

 

The Company is also a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which it is obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Some of these obligations arise as a result of divestitures of the Company’s assets or businesses and require the Company to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from adverse tax outcomes. The total amount of indemnification under these types of provisions is $79 million and the Company has accrued $26 million as of July 3, 2004 for certain claims that have been asserted under these provisions.

In addition, the Company may provide indemnifications for losses that result from the breach of general warranties contained in certain commercial, intellectual property and divestiture agreements. Historically, the Company has not made significant payments under these agreements, nor have there been significant claims asserted against the Company as of July 3, 2004.

 

In all cases, payment by the Company is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the Company to challenge the other party’s claims. Further, the Company’s obligations under these agreements are generally limited in terms of duration, typically not more than 24 months and or amounts not in excess of the contract value, and in some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by the Company.

11. Reorganization of Businesses

 

In an effort to reduce costs, the Company has implemented plans to reduce its workforce, discontinue product lines, exit businesses and consolidate manufacturing and administrative operations. The Company records provisions for employee separation costs and exit costs when they are probable and estimable based on estimates prepared at the time the restructuring plans are approved by management. Employee separation costs consist primarily of ongoing termination benefits, principally severance payments. Exit costs primarily consist of future minimum lease payments on vacated facilities and facility closure costs. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates its accruals for exit costs and employee separation costs to ensure that the accruals are still appropriate. In certain circumstances, accruals are no longer required because of efficiencies in carrying out the plans or because employees previously identified for separation resigned from the Company and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were initiated. The Company reverses accruals to income when it is determined they are no longer required.

 

2004 Charges

 

Three months ended July 3, 2004

 

For the three months ended July 3, 2004, the Company recorded reversals of $24 million for reserves no longer needed, of which $3 million was included in Costs of Sales and $21 million was recorded under Reorganization of Businesses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Included in the aggregate $24 million are $22 million of reversals for employee separation and exit cost reserves which were no longer needed and $2 million of fixed asset adjustments.

 

Six months ended July 3, 2004

 

For the six months ended July 3, 2004, the Company recorded reversals of $45 million for reserves no longer needed, of which $4 million was included in Costs of Sales and $41 million was recorded under Reorganization of Businesses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Included in the aggregate $45 million are $37 million of reversals for employee separation and exit cost reserves which were no longer needed and $8 million of fixed asset adjustments.

Exit Costs – Lease Terminations

 

At January 1, 2004, the Company had an accrual of $143 million for exit costs. The 2004 adjustments of $(3) million represent reversals of $11 million for accruals no longer needed, partially offset by an $8 million translation adjustment. The $25 million used in 2004 reflects cash payments. The remaining accrual of $115 million, which is included in Accrued Liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, represents future cash payments for lease termination obligations which will extend over several years.

 

Employee Separation Costs

 

At January 1, 2004, the Company had an accrual of $149 million for employee separation costs, representing the severance costs for approximately 2,300 employees. The 2004 adjustments of $26 million represent reversals of accruals no longer needed.

 

During the six months ended July 3, 2004, approximately 1,900 employees were separated from the Company. The $84 million used in 2004 reflects cash payments to these separated employees. The remaining accrual of $39 million, which is included in Accrued Liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, is expected to be paid to approximately 400 separated employees.

 

2003 Charges

 

Three months ended June 28, 2003

12. Acquisitions of Businesses

 

Quantum Bridge

 

In May 2004, the Company acquired Quantum Bridge Communications, Inc. (“Quantum Bridge”), a leading provider of fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) solutions, for $55 million in cash. Terms of the acquisition include contingent purchase price payments, to be made by Motorola to the sellers, not to exceed $143 million. The payments are contingent upon certain milestones being met primarily related to future revenue targets. Certain milestones extend through 2007. These contingent payments will be included as part of the purchase price if and when the milestones are met. The Company recorded $30 million in goodwill, none of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes, a $15 million charge for acquired in-process research and

Table of Contents

development costs and $15 million in other intangible assets. The acquired in-process research and development will have no alternative future uses if the products are not feasible. The allocation of value to in-process research and development was determined using expected future cash flows discounted at average risk adjusted rates reflecting both technological and market risk as well as the time value of money. These research and development costs were written off at the date of acquisition and have been included in Other Charges in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Goodwill and other intangible assets are included in Other Assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The intangible assets will be amortized over periods ranging from four to 14 years on a straight-line basis.

 

The results of operations of Quantum Bridge have been included in the Broadband Communications segment in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to the date of acquisition. The pro forma effects of this acquisition on the Company’s financial statements were not significant.

 

At the date of the acquisition, two projects were in process, ranging from 28% to 56% complete. The average risk adjusted rate used to value these projects was 45%. Both projects are expected to begin generating revenue in 2005.

 

Winphoria

 

In May 2003, the Company acquired Winphoria Networks, Inc. (“Winphoria”), a core infrastructure provider of next-generation packet-based mobile switching centers for wireless networks, for $179 million in cash. The Company recorded $93 million in goodwill, none of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes, a $32 million charge for acquired in-process research and development costs, and $54 million in other intangible assets. The acquired in-process research and development will have no alternative future uses if the products are not feasible. The allocation of value to in-process research and development was determined using expected future cash flows discounted at average risk adjusted rates reflecting both technological and market risk as well as the time value of money. These research and development costs were written off at the date of acquisition and have been included in Other Charges in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Goodwill and intangible assets are included in Other Assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The intangible assets are being amortized over periods ranging from 3 to 5 years on a straight-line basis.

 

The results of operations of Winphoria have been included in the Global Telecom Solutions segment in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to the date of acquisition. The pro forma effects of this acquisition on the Company’s financial statements were not significant.

 

At the date of the acquisition, a total of eight projects were in process, ranging from 29% to 82% complete. The average risk adjusted rate used to value these projects ranged from 25% to 28%. Four of these projects began generating revenue in 2004 with one to generate revenue in 2005 and the remaining three in 2006.

 

13. Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. Separation

 

During the three months ended July 3, 2004, the Company completed the separation of its Semiconductor Products segment into Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (Freescale Semiconductor). In conjunction with the separation, the Company incurred separation costs of $41 million and $50 million for the three months and six months ended July 3, 2004, respectively. These costs relate to third-party legal fees, information technology, transaction taxes and other services. Additionally, the separation of legal entities created a basis difference for statutory purposes resulting in the recording of $31 million of deferred taxes with the offset recorded as an increase in Additional Paid-In Capital included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents

In July 2004, Freescale Semiconductor completed an initial public offering (IPO) of approximately 121.6 million shares of Freescale Semiconductor Class A common stock. The net proceeds to Freescale Semiconductor from the IPO, as well as the subsequent sale of an additional 8.4 million shares of Class A common stock in connection with the partial exercise of the overallotment option, were $1.6 billion. Following these transactions, approximately 32.5% of the total outstanding common stock of Freescale Semiconductor is held by the general public and 67.5% is held by Motorola. Motorola owns all of Freescale Semiconductor’s Class B common stock, which is entitled to five votes per share on all matters to be voted on by Freescale Semiconductor’s stockholders and represents approximately 91.2% of Freescale Semiconductor’s total voting power.

 

At the same time as the IPO, Freescale Semiconductor issued senior debt securities in an aggregate principal amount of $1.25 billion, consisting of $400 million of floating rate notes due 2009, $350 million of 6.875% notes due 2011 and $500 million of 7.125% notes due 2014. In conjunction with this public offering of senior debt securities, Freescale Semiconductor entered into interest rate swaps to change the characteristics of the interest rate payments from fixed-rate payments to short-term variable rate LIBOR-based payments on the $350 million of 6.875% notes due 2011 and the $500 million of 7.125% notes due 2014. Freescale Semiconductor distributed approximately $1.1 billion of proceeds to Motorola.

We also are a leading producer of embedded processing and connectivity products for the automotive, networking and wireless communications industries, through our majority-owned subsidiary, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (Freescale Semiconductor). In July 2004, an initial public offering of a minority interest of approximately 32.5% of Freescale Semiconductor was completed.

 

Second Quarter Highlights

 

Our net sales were $8.7 billion in the second quarter of 2004, up 41% from $6.2 billion in the second quarter of 2003. Net sales in all six of the Company’s major operating segments increased in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003. The overall increase in net sales was primarily due to a $1.6 billion, or 67%, increase in net sales by our wireless handset business, driven by strong demand for new products, reflected by a 52% increase in unit shipments and a 16% increase in average selling price (ASP) compared to the second

quarter of 2003. Our wireless infrastructure business had increased net sales in all regions, particularly in Asia and North America, and in all technologies. We believe that our sales growth in the wireless infrastructure business outpaced the industry, resulting in increased market share for the second straight quarter. Our semiconductor business had increased net sales in all end-market user groups, particularly in the networking and wireless markets. Net sales in this business were also positively impacted by the success of our wireless handset business, which is the semiconductor business’ largest customer. Our broadband business had increased net sales due to increased purchases of cable set-tops and modems by cable operators and a mix shift in digital set-top boxes towards higher-end products.

 

We had pre-tax earnings of $800 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared to pre-tax earnings of $112 million in the second quarter of 2003. After taxes, we reported a net loss of $203 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared to net earnings of $119 million in the second quarter of 2003. The net loss in the second quarter of 2004 was due to the non-cash tax expense of $898 million related to the establishment of a deferred tax asset valuation reserve associated with the initial public offering of Freescale Semiconductor. All six of the Company’s major segments had increased earnings before income tax in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003, driven primarily by increased net sales in all segments. Improved manufacturing capacity utilization and other manufacturing efficiencies contributed to the gross margin improvement in our semiconductor business. A favorable product mix, due to a higher proportion of higher-margin subscriber sales, supply-chain efficiencies and overall cost structure improvements resulted in increased earnings for our public safety and enterprise business. Overall R&D expenditures decreased as a percentage of net sales, which is in-line with our continued focus on engineering effectiveness throughout the Company. In addition, a decrease in investment impairment charges, largely due to a recovery of a previously-impaired investment, contributed to the improvement in earnings before income tax in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003.

 

In the second quarter of 2004, we had $22 million in reversals of accruals no longer needed related to reorganization of businesses. The $22 million of reversals constitute less than 3% of the Company’s $800 million in earnings before income tax in the second quarter of 2004.

 

We continued to strengthen our balance sheet in the second quarter of 2004. In the second quarter, we had positive operating cash flow of $994 million. This increase in operating cash flow gave the Company a net cash* position of $1.8 billion at the end of the quarter. We reduced our gross debt** by an additional $464 million in the second quarter and have reduced it by over $1 billion in the first half of 2004.

 

Looking Forward

 

As we said at the beginning of 2004, first and foremost, we are focused on increasing profitable sales and growing market share. Demand for many of our products was quite strong in the second quarter, reflected by increased net sales and pre-tax earnings in the second quarter of 2004. We remain cautiously optimistic about the economic recovery for information technology products, especially in the areas of communications and related industries. We believe we are well positioned to take advantage of these positive market conditions. Our unique advantage is providing compelling communication products for the mobile user, connecting the auto, the home and the enterprise, including the public safety market. Seamless mobility is our unique core competency and one that will continue to differentiate Motorola from our competitors over the next several years.

 

We are excited about the range of our new product offerings this year in our wireless handset, network infrastructure, broadband communications, semiconductor, automotive and government and public safety businesses, and we are optimistic about continued demand for our products. It remains challenging to manage manufacturing capacity and component supplies.

Net sales

 

Net sales were $8.7 billion in the second quarter of 2004, up 41% from $6.2 billion in the second quarter of 2003. Net sales increased in all six of the Company’s major segments in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003. The overall increase in net sales was due to: (i) a $1.6 billion increase in net sales by the Personal Communications segment (PCS), driven by a 52% increase in unit shipments and a 16% increase in average selling price (ASP), reflecting strong sales of new products, (ii) a $397 million increase in net sales by the Global Telecom Solutions segment (GTSS), driven by an increase in capital expenditures by the segment’s wireless service provider customers and reflecting sales growth in all technologies and all regions, (iii) a $346 million increase in net sales by the Semiconductor Products segment (SPS), reflecting increased sales in all end-market groups, particularly in the networking and wireless markets, driven by increased demand from wireless customers, in particular the Company’s wireless handset business, (iv) a $140 million increase in net sales by the Integrated Electronics Systems segment (IESS), primarily due to increased sales in the automotive electronics market, particularly of telematics products, and increased sales of portable energy storage products, reflecting the success of the Company’s wireless handset business, (v) a $137 million increase in net sales by the Broadband Communications segment (BCS), primarily due to increased purchases of cable set-tops and modems by cable operators and a mix shift in digital set-top boxes towards higher-end products, and (vi) a $128 million increase in

Table of Contents

net sales by the Commercial, Government and Industrial Solutions segment (CGISS), reflecting increased spending by customers in the segment’s government market in response to global homeland security initiatives, and increased sales in the segment’s enterprise business.

 

Gross margin

 

Gross margin was $3.2 billion, or 36.4% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2004, compared to $2.0 billion, or 32.6% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2003. All six of the Company’s major segments had a higher gross margin in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003, and four of the six major segments had a higher gross margin as a percentage of net sales. The improvement in gross margin in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003 was primarily due to the 41% increase in net sales. Improvements in gross margin were also driven by: (i) improvements in SPS, primarily due to increased manufacturing capacity utilization, and (ii) improvements in CGISS, due to a favorable product mix, reflecting a higher proportion of higher-margin subscriber sales, and supply-chain efficiencies.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenditures were $1.3 billion, or 15.2% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2004, compared to $937 million, or 15.2% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2003. General expenditures increased in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003, primarily due to an increase in employee incentive program accruals in all six major segments. Selling expenditures also increased, primarily due to: (i) increased advertising and promotional expenditures, primarily in PCS, and increased marketing expenditures in all six major segments, and (ii) increased selling and sales support expenditures in all six major segments, primarily due to an increase in sales commissions relating to the increase in net sales.

 

Research and development expenditures

 

Research and development (R&D) expenditures were $990 million, or 11.4% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2004, compared to $951 million, or 15.4% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2003. The slight increase in R&D expenditures was primarily due to increased developmental engineering expenditures by PCS and CGISS. These increases were partially offset by decreased R&D expenditures by GTSS and SPS, primarily due to improved engineering efficiencies.

 

Reorganization of businesses

 

The Company recorded income of $24 million related to reorganization of businesses in the second quarter of 2004, reflecting reversals of accruals no longer needed, of which $21 million was recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations under Reorganization of Businesses and $3 million was recorded in Costs of Sales. Included in the aggregate $24 million are $22 million of reversals of employee separation and exit cost reserves, which were no longer needed, and $2 million of fixed asset adjustments. The $22 million in reversals constitutes less than 3% of the Company’s $800 million in earnings before income taxes in the second quarter of 2004.

 

The Company recorded income of $56 million related to reorganization of businesses in the second quarter of 2003, reflecting reversals of accruals no longer needed, of which $42 million was recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations under Reorganization of Businesses and $14 million was recorded in Costs of Sales. Included in the aggregate $56 million were $32 million of reversals of employee separation and exit cost reserves, which were no longer needed, and $24 million of fixed asset adjustments. These reversals are discussed in further detail in the “Reorganization of Businesses Charges” section below.

 

Freescale Semiconductor separation costs

 

In the second quarter of 2004, the Company incurred $41 million in costs relating to the separation of its semiconductor operations into a wholly-owned subsidiary, Freescale Semiconductor. These costs are incremental and non-recurring and include transaction taxes, third-party legal fees, information technology and other services.

As further described below under “Liquidity—Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.”, in July 2004, 32.5% of the total outstanding common stock was sold for approximately $1.6 billion in an initial public offering.

 

Other charges (income)

 

The Company recorded income of $7 million in Other Charges (Income) in the second quarter of 2004, compared to income of $9 million in the second quarter of 2003. The income of $7 million in the second quarter of 2004 primarily consisted of $21 million in income from the reversal of financing receivable reserves due to the partial collection of a previously-uncollected receivable, partially offset by a $15 million charge for in-process research and development related to the acquisition of Quantum Bridge Communications, Inc. (Quantum Bridge). The income of $9 million in the second quarter of 2003 primarily consisted of: (i) $33 million in income from the sale of assets related to the Iridium program that had been previously written down, and (ii) $7 million in income from the reversal of accruals no longer needed due to a settlement with the Company’s insurer on items related to previous environmental claims, partially offset by a $32 million charge for in-process research and development related to the acquisition of Winphoria Networks, Inc.

 

Net interest expense

 

Net interest expense was $60 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared to $59 million in the second quarter of 2003. Net interest expense in the second quarter of 2004 included interest expense of $92 million, partially offset by interest income of $32 million. Net interest expense in the second quarter of 2003 included interest expense of $108 million, partially offset by $49 million of interest income. The slight increase in net interest expense in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003 is attributable to the reduction in interest income. Second quarter 2003 interest income exceeded 2004 interest income due to: (i) interest received on a tax refund in the second quarter of 2003 that was not repeated in the second quarter of 2004, and (ii) greater interest income earned on long-term finance receivables during the second quarter of 2003 than during the second quarter of 2004, partially offset by a higher average balance of cash and cash equivalents in the second quarter of 2004. The reduction in interest income was partially offset by a reduction in interest expense due to: (i) additional benefits derived during the second quarter of 2004 from fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps, and (ii) a reduction in total debt at the end of the second quarter of 2004 compared to the end of the second quarter of 2003.

 

Gains on sales of investments and businesses

 

Gains on sales of investments and businesses in the second quarter of 2004 were $15 million, compared to gains of $28 million in the second quarter of 2003. In the second quarter of 2004, the net gains were primarily related to: (i) a $20 million gain resulting from the reversal of indemnification reserves relating to a business previously sold, and (ii) the sale of equity securities of other companies held for investment purposes, partially offset by an $11 million loss on the sale of a BCS manufacturing facility in Nuremberg, Germany. In the second quarter of 2003, the net gains primarily resulted from the recognition of a deferred gain from the 2001 sale of cellular properties upon receipt of final payment.

 

Other

 

Charges classified as Other, as presented in Other Income (Expense), resulted in net charges of less than $1 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared to net charges of $28 million in the second quarter of 2003. Charges classified as Other in the second quarter of 2004 were primarily comprised of: (i) foreign currency losses of $16 million, and (ii) $5 million in minority interest charges, partially offset by $20 million in income related to the recovery of a previously impaired debt holding in a European cable operator. Charges classified as Other in the second quarter of 2003 were primarily comprised of: (i) foreign currency losses of $28 million, and (ii) investment impairment charges of $12 million, partially offset by $11 million of equity in net earnings of affiliated companies.

Effective tax rate

 

The effective tax rate was 125% in the second quarter of 2004, representing a $1.0 billion net tax expense, compared to a (6)% effective tax rate, representing a $7 million net tax benefit, in the second quarter of 2003.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2004 was significantly impacted by: (i) the recording of a $898 million non-cash tax charge for the establishment of a valuation reserve on Freescale Semiconductor’s net deferred tax assets, (ii) the reversal of $197 million of previously-accrued income taxes as the result of settlements reached with taxing authorities and a reassessment of tax exposures based on the status of current audits, (iii) the recording of non-deductible costs relating to the Freescale Semiconductor separation, and (iv) the recording of non-deductible charges related to the acquisition of Quantum Bridge. The Company’s tax rate for the second quarter of 2004, excluding the above items, would have been 35%. The Company’s tax rate for the second quarter of 2003, excluding tax reversals and impact from non-deductible acquisition charges, would have been 37%.

 

The Company expects the effective tax rate for the full year 2004 to be approximately 35%, excluding the non-cash tax charge for Freescale Semiconductor’s deferred tax valuation allowance and the reversal of previously-accrued income taxes.

 

Earnings/(Loss)

 

The Company had earnings before income taxes of $800 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared with earnings before income taxes of $112 million in the second quarter of 2003. After taxes, the Company recorded a net loss of $203 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2004, compared with net earnings of $119 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2003.

 

The $688 million increase in earnings before income taxes in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003 is primarily attributed to: (i) a $1.2 billion increase in gross margin, primarily due to (a) a $2.5 billion increase in net sales, (b) improved manufacturing utilization rates and manufacturing efficiencies in SPS, and (c) favorable product mix and supply-chain efficiencies in CGISS, and (ii) a $28 million decrease in charges classified as Other, primarily due to: (a) $20 million in income in the second quarter of 2004 related to the recovery of a previously-impaired debt holding in a European cable operator, and (b) a reduction in foreign currency losses and investment impairment charges. These improvements in earnings before income taxes were partially offset by: (i) a $384 million increase in SG&A expenditures, which was driven by: (a) an increase in general expenditures, primarily due to an increase in employee incentive program accruals, and (b) an increase in selling expenditures, driven by an increase in advertising and promotional expenditures, particularly in PCS, as well as increased selling and sales support expenditures in all six major segments, primarily due to an increase in sales commissions relating to the increase in net sales, (ii) $41 million in costs associated with the separation of the Company’s semiconductor operations into Freescale Semiconductor, (iii) a $39 million increase in R&D expenditures, due primarily to the increase in developmental engineering expenditures by PCS, as the segment continues to focus on developing compelling new products, and increased developmental engineering expenditures by CGISS, (iv) a $21 million decrease in income related to reorganization of businesses, primarily due to a decline in reversals of accruals no longer needed in the second quarter of 2004, and (v) a $13 million decrease in gains on the sales of investments.

Net interest expense was $127 million in the first half of 2004, compared to $152 million in the first half of 2003. Net interest expense in the first half of 2004 included interest expense of $195 million, partially offset by interest income of $68 million. Net interest expense in the first half of 2003 included interest expense of $225 million, partially offset by $73 million of interest income. The decrease in net interest expense in the first half of 2004 compared to the first half of 2003 is attributable to the reduction in interest expense. The reduction in interest expense was primarily due to: (i) additional benefits derived during the first half of 2004 from fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps, and (ii) a reduction in total debt at the end of the first half of 2004 compared to the end of the first half of 2003.

 

Gains on sales of investments and businesses

 

Gains on sales of investments and businesses in the first half of 2004 were $196 million, compared to $307 million in the first half of 2003. In the first half of 2004, the net gains were primarily related to: (i) a $130 million gain on the sale of the Company’s remaining investment in Broadcom Corporation, and (ii) a $41 million gain on the sale of a portion of the Company’s investment in Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation. In the first half of 2003, the gains primarily resulted from the sale of 25 million shares of Nextel Communications, Inc. held by the Company for investment purposes.

 

Other

 

Charges classified as Other, as presented in Other Income (Expense), resulted in net charges of $20 million in the first half of 2004, compared to net charges of $87 million in the first half of 2003. Charges classified as Other in the second quarter of 2004 were primarily comprised of: (i) foreign currency losses of $19 million, (ii) $13 million in minority interest charges, and (iii) $9 million in investment impairment charges, partially offset by

Table of Contents

$20 million in income related to the recovery of a previously-impaired debt holding in a European cable operator. Charges classified as Other in the second quarter of 2003 were primarily comprised of: (i) $59 million in investment charges, primarily comprised of a $29 million charge to write down to zero the Company’s debt holding in a European cable operator, and (ii) foreign currency losses of $40 million, partially offset by $14 million of equity in net earnings of affiliated companies.

 

Effective tax rate

 

The effective tax rate was 76% in the first six months of 2004, representing a $1.3 billion net tax expense, compared to a 22% effective tax rate, representing an $81 million net tax expense, in the first six months of 2003.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate in the first six months of 2004 was significantly impacted by: (i) the recording of a $898 million non-cash tax charge for the establishment of a valuation reserve on the Freescale Semiconductor’s net deferred tax assets, (ii) the reversal of $197 million of previously-accrued income taxes as the result of settlements reached with taxing authorities and a reassessment of tax exposures based on the status of current audits, (iii) the recording of non-deductible costs relating to the Freescale Semiconductor separation, and (iv) the recording of non-deductible charges related to the acquisition of Quantum Bridge. The Company’s tax rate for the first half of 2004, excluding the above items, would have been 34%. The Company’s tax rate for the first half of 2003, excluding tax reversals and impact from non-deductible acquisition charges, would have been 35%.

 

Earnings

 

The Company had earnings before income taxes of $1.7 billion in the first half of 2004, compared to earnings before income taxes of $369 million in the first half of 2003. After taxes, the Company had net earnings of $406 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the first half of 2004, compared to net earnings of $288 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the first half of 2003.

 

The $1.3 billion increase in earnings before income taxes in the first half of 2004 compared to the first half of 2003 is primarily attributed to: (i) a $2.1 billion increase in gross margin, primarily due to (a) a $5.1 billion increase in net sales, (b) improved manufacturing utilization rates and manufacturing efficiencies in SPS, and (c) favorable product mix and supply-chain efficiencies in CGISS, (ii) a $67 million decrease in charges classified as Other, primarily due to: (a) a reduction in foreign currency losses and investment impairment charges, and (b) $20 million in income in the first half of 2004 related to the recovery of a previously-impaired debt holding in a European cable operator, (iii) a $62 million decrease in reorganization of business charges, and (iv) a $25 million decrease in net interest expense. These improvements in operating earnings were partially offset by: (i) a $631 million increase in SG&A expenditures, which was driven by: (a) an increase in general expenditures, primarily due to an increase in employee incentive program accruals, and (b) an increase in selling expenditures, driven by an increase in advertising and promotional expenditures, particularly in PCS, as well as increased selling and sales support expenditures in all six major segments, primarily due to an increase in sales commissions relating to the increase in net sales, (ii) a $111 million decrease in gains on the sales of investments, (iii) a $59 million increase in R&D expenditures, due primarily to the increase in developmental engineering expenditures by PCS, reflected in the high volume of new product offerings, and by CGISS, and (iv) $50 million in costs associated with the separation of the Company’s semiconductor operations into Freescale Semiconductor.

 

Reorganization of Businesses Charges

 

In an effort to reduce costs, the Company has implemented plans to reduce its workforce, discontinue product lines, exit businesses and consolidate manufacturing and administrative operations. The Company records provisions for employee separation costs and exit costs when they are probable and estimable based on estimates prepared at the time the restructuring plans are approved by management. Employee separation costs

Table of Contents

consist primarily of ongoing termination benefits, principally severance payments. Exit costs primarily consist of future minimum lease payments on vacated facilities and facility closure costs. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates its accruals for exit costs and employee separation costs to ensure that the accruals are still appropriate. In certain circumstances, accruals are no longer required because of efficiencies in carrying out the plans or because employees previously identified for separation resigned from the Company and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were initiated. The Company reverses accruals to income when it is determined they are no longer required.

 

2004 Charges

 

Three months ended July 3, 2004

 

For the three months ended July 3, 2004, the Company recorded reversals of $24 million for reserves no longer needed, of which $3 million was included in Costs of Sales and $21 million was recorded under Reorganization of Businesses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Included in the aggregate $24 million are $22 million of reversals for employee separation and exit cost reserves which were no longer needed and $2 million of fixed asset adjustments.

 

Six months ended July 3, 2004

 

For the six months ended July 3, 2004, the Company recorded reversals of $45 million for reserves no longer needed, of which $4 million was included in Costs of Sales and $41 million was recorded under Reorganization of Businesses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Included in the aggregate $45 million are $37 million of reversals for employee separation and exit cost reserves which were no longer needed and $8 million of fixed asset adjustments.

At January 1, 2003, the Company had an accrual of $419 million for employee separation costs, representing the severance costs for approximately 7,200 employees. The 2003 net reversals of $9 million represent additional charges of $78 million and reversals of $87 million. The additional charges for employee separation costs represent the severance costs for approximately an additional 1,700 employees.

 

During the first half of 2003, approximately 5,400 employees were separated from the Company. The $235 million used in 2003 reflects cash payments of $229 million and non-cash utilization of $6 million to these separated employees. The remaining accrual of $175 million, which is included in Accrued Liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, is expected to be paid to approximately 3,500 employees.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

At July 3, 2004, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents (which are highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less) aggregated $8.7 billion, compared to $7.9 billion at December 31, 2003 and $6.2 billion at June 28, 2003. On July 3, 2004, $2.5 billion of this amount was held in the U.S. and $6.2 billion was held by the Company or its subsidiaries in other countries. Repatriation of some of these funds could be subject to delay and could have potential adverse tax consequences.

 

Operating Activities

 

In the first half of 2004, the Company generated positive cash flow from operations of $1.9 billion, compared to $776 million generated in the first half of 2003. The primary contributors to cash flow from operations in the first half of 2004 were: (i) net earnings, adjusted for non-cash items, of $1.8 billion, (ii) a net increase of $903 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, primarily attributed to an increase in accounts payable, as well as increased customer incentive and warranty reserves, and (iii) a decrease in other net operating assets of $229 million. These positive contributors to operating cash flow were partially offset by: (i) a $713 million increase in accounts receivable, (ii) a $342 million increase in other current assets, and (iii) a $29 million increase in inventories.

 

Accounts Receivable: The Company’s net accounts receivable were $5.1 billion at July 3, 2004, compared to $4.4 billion at December 31, 2003 and $3.6 billion at June 28, 2003. The Company’s days sales outstanding (DSO), excluding net long-term finance receivables, were 53.2 days at July 3, 2004, compared to 49.8 days at December 31, 2003 and 52.3 days at June 28, 2003. The increase in net accounts receivable and DSO at July 3, 2004 compared to December 31, 2003 were primarily due to higher net sales late in the second quarter of 2004, compared to sales late in the second quarter of 2003. Improved receivables management remains a priority to the Company.

 

40


Table of Contents

Inventory: The Company’s net inventory was $2.8 billion at each of July 3, 2004, December 31, 2003, and June 28, 2003. The Company’s inventory turns improved to 7.6 at July 3, 2004, compared to 6.3 at December 31, 2003 and 6.0 at June 28, 2003. The increase in inventory turns is evidence of benefits from the Company’s continued focus on inventory and supply-chain management processes. Inventory management continues to be an area of focus as the Company balances the need to maintain strategic inventory levels to ensure competitive delivery performance to its customers with the risk of inventory obsolescence due to rapidly changing technology and customer spending requirements.

 

Reorganization of Business: In an effort to reduce costs, the Company has implemented plans to reduce its workforce, discontinue product lines, exit businesses and consolidate manufacturing and administrative operations. Cash payments for exit costs and employee separations in connection with the Company’s various reorganization plans were $109 million in the first half of 2004, compared to $30 million in the first half of 2003. Of the $154 million reorganization of business accrual at July 3, 2004, $39 million relates to employee separation costs, the majority of which is expected to be paid in 2004. The remaining $115 million in accruals relate to exit costs, primarily for lease termination obligations, and will result in future cash payments that will extend over several years.

 

Pension Plan Contributions: A cash contribution of $50 million was made to the U.S. regular pension plan during the second quarter of 2004. In addition, a $50 million contribution was made in July 2004 bringing the total contribution in 2004 to $100 million. The Company expects to make aggregate cash contributions of between $150 million and $250 million to this plan during 2004.

 

Investing Activities

 

The most significant components of the Company’s investing activities include: (i) capital expenditures, (ii) strategic acquisitions of, or investments in, other companies, and (iii) proceeds from dispositions of investments and businesses.

 

Net cash used for investing activities was $104 million for the first half of 2004, as compared to $131 million used in the first half of 2003. The $27 million decrease in cash used for investing activities in the first half of 2004, compared to the first half of 2003, was primarily due to: (i) an $80 million decrease in cash used for acquisitions and investments, (ii) a $34 million increase in proceeds received from dispositions of property, plant and equipment, and (iii) a $12 million increase in proceeds received from dispositions of investments and businesses. These decreases were partially offset by a $100 million increase in capital expenditures in the first half of 2004 compared to the first half of 2003.

 

Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures in the first half of 2004 were $428 million, compared to $328 million in the first half of 2003. The increase in capital expenditures was primarily driven by increased capital spending by the Semiconductor Products segment, which continues to make focused, strategic capital investments to ensure adequate internal and external capacity.

 

Strategic Acquisitions and Investments: Cash used by the Company for acquisitions and new investment activities was $158 million in the first half of 2004, compared to $238 million used in the first half of 2003. The cash used in the first half of 2004 was primarily for: (i) the acquisition of Quantum Bridge Communications, Inc. (Quantum Bridge), a leading provider of fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) solutions, acquired by the Broadband Communications segment, (ii) the acquisition of the remaining interest of Appeal Telecom of Korea, a leading designer of CDMA handsets for the global market, acquired by the Personal Communications segment, and (iii) the transfer of cash as part of a strategic relationship with Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC). In addition to the cash, the Company transferred a wafer fabrication facility in Tianjin, China in exchange for SMIC shares. The cash used in the first half of 2003 was primarily for: (i) $179 million for the acquisition of Winphoria Networks, Inc., a core infrastructure provider of next-generation packet-based mobile switching centers for wireless networks, acquired by the Global Telecom Solutions segment, and (ii) the acquisition of the remaining outstanding shares of Next Level Communications, Inc.

Table of Contents

Sales of Investments and Businesses: The Company received $367 million in proceeds from the dispositions of investments and businesses in the first half of 2004, compared to proceeds of $355 million in the first half of 2003. The proceeds generated in the first half of 2004 were primarily: (i) $216 million from the sale of the Company’s remaining shares in Broadcom Corporation, and (ii) $100 million from the sale of a portion of the Company’s shares in SMIC. The proceeds generated in the first half of 2003 were primarily from the sale of 25 million shares of Nextel Communications, Inc. for approximately $335 million in gross proceeds.

 

Short-Term Investments: At July 3, 2004, the Company had $138 million, in short-term investments (which are highly-liquid fixed-income investments with an original maturity greater than three months but less than one year), compared to $139 million at December 31, 2003.

 

Available-For-Sale Securities: In addition to available cash and cash equivalents, the Company views its available-for-sale securities as an additional source of liquidity. The majority of these securities represent investments in technology companies and, accordingly, the fair market values of these securities are subject to substantial price volatility. In addition, the realizable value of these securities is subject to market and other conditions. At July 3, 2004, the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio had an approximate fair market value of $2.7 billion, which represented a cost basis of $615 million and an unrealized net gain of $2.1 billion. At December 31, 2003, the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio had an approximate fair market value of $2.9 billion, which represented a cost basis of $500 million and an unrealized net gain of $2.4 billion.

The most significant components of the Company’s financing activities are: (i) net proceeds from (or repayment of) commercial paper and short-term borrowings, (ii) net proceeds from (or repayment of) long-term debt securities, (iii) the payment of dividends, and (iv) proceeds from the issuances of stock due to the exercise of employee stock options and purchases under the employee stock purchase plan.

 

Net cash used for financing activities was $944 million in the first half of 2004, compared to $983 million used in the first half of 2003. Cash used for financing activities in the first half of 2004 was primarily used: (i) to redeem all outstanding Trust Originated Preferred Securities (the “TOPrS”) for $500 million, (ii) to repay, at maturity, the $500 million 6.75% debentures due 2004, and (iii) to pay dividends of $188 million. This cash usage was partially offset by proceeds of $266 million from the issuance of common stock in connection with the Company’s employee stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan. Net cash used for financing activities in the first half of 2003 was primarily used: (i) to repay $872 million of total debt (including commercial paper), mainly reflecting the redemption of all of the Company’s $825 million of Puttable Reset Securities (PURS)sm in the first quarter of 2003, and (ii) to pay dividends of $185 million, partially offset by proceeds of $74 million from the issuance of common stock in connection with the Company’s employee stock option plan and employee stock purchase plan.

 

Short-term Debt: At July 3, 2004, the Company’s outstanding notes payable and current portion of long-term debt was $352 million, compared to $896 million at December 31, 2003 and $1.3 billion at June 28, 2003. The decrease in short-term debt compared to December 31, 2003 is primarily due to the repayment, at maturity, of the $500 million of 6.75% debentures due 2004. At July 3, 2004, the Company had $300 million of outstanding commercial paper, compared to $304 million at December 31, 2003 and $501 million at June 28, 2003. The Company currently expects its outstanding commercial paper balances to average approximately $300 million throughout 2004.

 

The Company expects that from time to time outstanding commercial paper balances may be replaced with short or long-term borrowings. Although the Company believes that it can continue to access the capital markets in 2004 on acceptable terms and conditions, its flexibility with regard to long-term financing activity could be limited by: (i) the Company’s current levels of outstanding long-term debt, and (ii) the Company’s credit ratings. In addition, many of the factors that affect the Company’s ability to access the capital markets, such as the

Table of Contents

liquidity of the overall capital markets and the current state of the economy, in particular the telecommunications industry, are outside of the Company’s control. There can be no assurances that the Company will continue to have access to the capital markets on favorable terms.

 

Long-term Debt: At July 3, 2004, December 31, 2003 and June 28, 2003, the Company had outstanding long-term debt of $6.7 billion. As further described below under “Redemptions and Repurchases of Outstanding Securities”, on July 26, 2004, the Company announced its intention to further reduce its outstanding long-term debt by up to $1.7 billion during the third quarter of 2004. As further described below under “Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.”, on July 21, 2004, Freescale Semiconductor, a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued senior debt securities in an aggregate principal amount of $1.25 billion.

 

Redemptions and Repurchases of Outstanding Securities

 

$500 Million of TOPrS: In March 2004, Motorola Capital Trust I, a Delaware statutory business trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Trust”), redeemed all outstanding TOPrS. In February 1999, the Trust sold 20 million TOPrS to the public for an aggregate offering price of $500 million. The Trust used the proceeds from that sale, together with the proceeds from its sale of common stock to the Company, to buy a series of 6.68% Deferrable Interest Junior Subordinated Debentures due March 31, 2039 (“Subordinated Debentures”) from the Company with the same payment terms as the TOPrS. The sole assets of the Trust were the Subordinated Debentures. Historically, the TOPrS have been reflected as “Company-Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust Holding Solely Company-Guaranteed Debentures” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. On March 26, 2004, all outstanding TOPrS were redeemed for an aggregate redemption price of $500 million plus accrued interest. No TOPrS or Subordinated Debentures remain outstanding.

 

$4 Million of LYONS: In March 2004, the Company also redeemed all the 2009 LYONs and the 2013 LYONs. On March 26, 2004, all then-outstanding 2009 LYONs and 2013 LYONs, not validly exchanged for stock, were redeemed for an aggregate redemption price of approximately $4 million. No 2009 LYONs or 2013 LYONs remain outstanding.

 

$500 Million of 5-Year Notes: In June 2004, the Company repaid, at maturity, the $500 million 6.75% debentures due 2004.

 

Up to $1.7 Billion of Long-Term Debt During Third Quarter 2004: On July 26, 2004, the Company announced plans to retire up to $1.7 billion of its outstanding debt. On that date, the Company commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of its $300 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 7.60% Notes due 2007 (the “2007 Notes”). The tender offer expired on August 5, 2004 and an aggregate principal amount of approximately $182 million of 2007 Notes were validly tendered. On August 10, 2004, the Company repurchased the validly tendered 2007 Notes for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $202 million.

 

In addition, on July 26, 2004, the Company called for the redemption of all of its $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of outstanding 6.75% Notes due 2006 (the “2006 Notes”). The 2006 Notes will be redeemed on August 26, 2004. These repurchases of debt will be paid partially through proceeds distributed to the Company by Freescale Semiconductor and partially through available cash balances.

 

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

Equity Security Units: During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company sold $1.2 billion of 7.00% Equity Security Units (the “MEUs”). On November 16, 2004, the holders of the MEUs are obligated to pay the Company $1.2 billion to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the MEUs, the price paid per share by the holders of the MEUs is based on the applicable market value of the Company’s common stock at the purchase date, but the effective purchase price per share will not be any lower than $17.28 per share nor any higher than $21.08 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company in connection with this purchase will be $1.2 billion and the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock sold to the holders of the MEUs will be between 56.9 million and 69.4 million shares.

 

Credit Ratings: Three independent credit rating agencies, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”), Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s”) and Fitch Investors Service (“Fitch”), assign ratings to the Company’s short-term and long-term debt.

 

The following chart reflects the current ratings assigned to the Company’s senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term debt and the Company’s commercial paper by each of these agencies.

 

Name of
Rating Agency


  Long-Term Debt

  Commercial Paper

  Date of Last
Action


  Rating

  Outlook

   
S&P   BBB   positive   A-2   August 2, 2004
Moody’s   Baa3   positive   P-3   July 21, 2004
Fitch   BBB   stable   F-2   June 3, 2003

 

The Company’s credit ratings are considered “investment grade.” If the Company’s senior long-term debt were rated lower than “BBB-” by S&P or Fitch or “Baa3” by Moody’s (which would be a decline of one level from current Moody’s ratings), the Company’s long-term debt would no longer be considered “investment grade.” If this were to occur, the terms on which the Company could borrow money would become more onerous. The Company would also have to pay higher fees related to its domestic revolving credit facility.

 

The Company continues to have access to the commercial paper and long-term debt markets. However, the Company generally has had to pay a higher interest rate to borrow money than it would have if its credit ratings were higher. The Company has greatly reduced the amount of its commercial paper outstanding in comparison to historical levels and expects its outstanding commercial paper balances to average approximately $300 million throughout 2004. The market for commercial paper rated “A-2 / P-3 / F-2” is much smaller than that for commercial paper rated “A-1 /P-1 / F-1” and commercial paper or other short-term borrowings may be of limited availability to participants in the “A-2 / P-3 / F-2” market from time-to-time or for extended periods.

 

As further described under “Customer Financing Arrangements” below, for many years the Company has utilized a receivables program to sell a broadly-diversified group of short-term receivables, through Motorola Receivables Corporation (“MRC”), to third parties. The obligations of the third parties to continue to purchase receivables under the MRC short-term receivables program could be terminated if the Company’s long-term debt was rated lower than “BB+” by S&P or “Ba1” by Moody’s (which would be a decline of two levels from the current Moody’s rating). If the MRC short-term receivables program were terminated, the Company would no longer be able to sell its short-term receivables in this manner, but it would not have to repurchase previously-sold receivables.

 

Credit Facilities

 

At July 3, 2004, the Company’s total domestic and non-U.S. credit facilities totaled $3.0 billion, of which $123 million was considered utilized. These facilities are principally comprised of: (i) a $1.0 billion three-year revolving domestic credit facility (maturing in May 2007), which is not utilized, and (ii) $2.0 billion of non-U.S. credit facilities (of which $123 million was considered utilized at July 3, 2004). Unused availability under the existing credit facilities, together with available cash and cash equivalents and other sources of liquidity, are

Table of Contents

generally available to support outstanding commercial paper, which was $300 million at July 3, 2004. In order to borrow funds under the domestic revolving credit facility the Company must be in compliance with various conditions, covenants and representations contained in the agreements. Important terms of the revolving domestic credit agreements include covenants relating to net interest coverage and total debt-to-equity capitalization ratios. The Company was in compliance with the terms of the credit agreements at July 3, 2004. The Company has never borrowed under its domestic revolving credit facilities.

 

In May 2004, the Company replaced its existing $700 million 364-day revolving domestic credit facility (maturing May 2004) and its $900 million three-year revolving domestic credit facility (maturing May 2005) with a $1.0 billion three-year revolving domestic credit facility (maturing May 2007). One significant change to this facility from the previous facilities is the elimination of the requirement whereby the Company would have been obligated to provide the lenders with a pledge of, and security interest, in domestic inventories and receivables if the Company’s credit ratings would have dropped below certain levels.

 

Customer Financing Commitments and Guarantees

 

Outstanding Commitments: Although the Company has greatly reduced the level of long-term financing it provides to customers over the past few years, certain purchasers of the Company’s infrastructure equipment continue to request that suppliers provide financing in connection with equipment purchases. Financing may include all or a portion of the purchase price of the equipment and working capital. The Company had outstanding commitments to extend credit to third parties totaling $144 million at July 3, 2004, as compared to $149 million at December 31, 2003. The Company made no loans to customers during the second quarter of 2004 as compared to loans of $6 million during the second quarter of 2003.

 

Guarantees of Third-Party Debt: In addition to providing direct financing to certain equipment customers, the Company also assists customers in obtaining financing directly from banks and other sources to fund equipment purchases. The amount of loans from third parties for which the Company has committed to provide financial guarantees totaled $12 million at July 3, 2004, compared to $10 million at December 31, 2003. Customer borrowings outstanding under these third-party loan arrangements were $9 million at July 3, 2004 and $10 million at December 31, 2003.

 

The Company evaluates its contingent obligations under these financial guarantees by assessing the customer’s financial status, account activity and credit risk, as well as the current economic conditions and historical experience. The $12 million of guarantees discussed above are to two customers in the amounts of $6 million each and expire in 2005 and 2014. Management’s best estimate of probable losses of unrecoverable amounts, should these guarantees be called, was $1 million at both July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

 

Customer Financing Arrangements

 

Outstanding Finance Receivables: The Company had net finance receivables of $210 million at July 3, 2004, compared to $301 million at December 31, 2003 (net of allowances for losses of $2.0 billion at July 3, 2004 and $2.1 billion at December 31, 2003). These finance receivables are generally interest bearing, with rates ranging from 4% to 12%. Interest income on impaired finance receivables is recognized only when payments are received. Total interest income recognized on finance receivables was $1 million and $12 million for the three months ended July 3, 2004 and June 28, 2003, respectively, and $3 million and $13 million for the six months ended July 3, 2004 and June 28, 2003, respectively.

 

Telsim Loan: At July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company had $1.9 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, of gross receivables from one customer, Telsim, in Turkey (the “Telsim Loan”), with the decline representing partial recovery of amounts owed due to collection efforts. As a result of difficulties in collecting the amounts due from Telsim, the Company has previously recorded charges that reduce the net receivable from Telsim to zero. At both July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the net receivable from Telsim was zero. Although the Company continues to vigorously pursue its recovery efforts, it believes the litigation, collection and/or

 

45


Table of Contents

settlement process will be very lengthy in light of the Uzans’ (the family which formerly controlled Telsim) continued resistance to satisfy the judgment against them and their decision to violate various courts’ orders, including orders holding them in contempt of court. In addition, the Turkish government has asserted control over Telsim and certain other interests of the Uzans and this may make the Company’s collection efforts more difficult.

 

Sales of Receivables and Loans: From time to time, the Company sells short-term receivables and long-term loans to third parties in transactions that qualify as “true-sales.” Certain of these receivables are sold through a separate legal entity, Motorola Receivables Corporation (“MRC”). The financial results for MRC are fully consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. This receivables funding program is administered through multi-seller commercial paper conduits. Under FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (revised), the Company is not required to consolidate those entities.

 

The MRC short-term receivables program provides for up to $425 million of short-term receivables to be outstanding with third parties at any time. Total receivables sold through the MRC short-term program were $308 million and $205 million for the three months ended July 3, 2004 and June 28, 2003, respectively, and $612 million and $384 million for the six months ended July 3, 2004 and June 28, 2003, respectively. There were approximately $189 million of short-term receivables outstanding under the MRC short-term receivables program at July 3, 2004, as compared to $170 million at December 31, 2003. Under the MRC short-term receivables program, 90% of the value of the receivables sold is covered by credit insurance obtained from independent insurance companies. The credit exposure on the remaining 10% is covered by a retained interest in the sold receivables.

 

In addition to the MRC short-term receivables program, the Company also sells other short-term receivables directly to third parties. Total short-term receivables sold by the Company (including those sold directly to third parties and those sold through the MRC short-term receivables program) were $992 million and $664 million for the three months ended July 3, 2004 and June 28, 2003, respectively, and $1.9 billion and $1.4 billion during the six months ended July 3, 2004 and June 28, 2003, respectively. There were $1.0 billion of short-term receivables outstanding (under both the MRC program and pursuant to direct sales to third parties) at July 3, 2004, as compared to $771 million at December 31, 2003. The Company’s total credit exposure to outstanding short-term receivables that have been sold was $20 million and $25 million at July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, with reserves of $3 million and $13 million recorded for potential losses on this exposure at July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

Other Contingencies

 

Potential Contractual Damage Claims in Excess of Underlying Contract Value: In certain circumstances, our businesses may enter into contracts with customers pursuant to which the damages that could be claimed by the other party for failed performance might exceed the revenue the Company receives from the contract. Contracts with these sorts of uncapped damage provisions are fairly rare. Although it has not previously happened to the Company, there is a possibility that a damage claim by a counterparty to one of these contracts could result in expenses to the Company that are far in excess of the revenue received from the counterparty in connection with the contract.

 

Legal Matters: The Company has several lawsuits filed against it relating to the Iridium program, as further described under “Part II—Item 1: Legal Proceedings.” The Company has not reserved for any potential liability that may arise as a result of litigation related to the Iridium program. While the still pending cases are in various stages and the outcomes are not predictable, an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these cases could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

 

The Company is a defendant in various other lawsuits, including environmental and product-related suits, and is subject to various claims which arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, and other than discussed above with respect to the still-pending Iridium cases, the ultimate disposition of these

matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

 

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

 

During the second quarter of 2004, Motorola completed the separation of its semiconductor operations into a separate subsidiary, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (Freescale Semiconductor). In July 2004, Freescale Semiconductor completed an initial public offering (IPO) of approximately 121.6 million shares of Freescale Semiconductor Class A common stock. The net proceeds to Freescale Semiconductor from the IPO, as well as the subsequent sale of an additional 8.4 million shares of Class A common stock in connection with the partial exercise of the overallotment option, were approximately $1.6 billion. Following these transactions, approximately 32.5% of the total outstanding common stock of Freescale Semiconductor is held by the general public and 67.5% is held by Motorola. Motorola owns all of Freescale Semiconductor’s Class B common stock, which is entitled to five votes per share on all matters to be voted on by Freescale Semiconductor’s stockholders and represents approximately 91.2% of Freescale Semiconductor’s total voting power.

 

At the same time as the IPO, Freescale Semiconductor issued senior debt securities in an aggregate principal amount of $1.25 billion, consisting of $400 million of floating rate notes due 2009, $350 million of 6.875% notes due 2011 and $500 million of 7.125% notes due 2014. In conjunction with this public offering of senior debt securities, Freescale Semiconductor entered into interest rate swaps to change the characteristics of the interest rate payments from fixed-rate payments to short-term variable rate LIBOR-based payments on the $350 million of 6.875% notes due 2011 and the $500 million of 7.125% notes due 2014. Freescale Semiconductor distributed approximately $1.1 billion of proceeds to Motorola. Motorola intends to use the proceeds it received from Freescale Semiconductor to partially effect the tender offer for, and redemption of, debt during the third quarter of 2004 as described above under “Redemptions and Repurchases of Outstanding Securities.”

 

As a majority-owned subsidiary, Freescale Semiconductor’s financial results are currently consolidated into Motorola’s financial results. Motorola currently intends to distribute the remaining 67.5% ownership interest in Freescale Semiconductor to our common stockholders before the end of 2004. However, the completion of the distribution is subject to conditions, some of which are beyond Motorola’s control. Subsequent to such a distribution, Freescale Semiconductor will no longer constitute a part of Motorola’s business operations and the related operating results of Freescale Semiconductor would be reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

 

Segment Information

 

The following commentary should be read in conjunction with the financial results of each reporting segment for the three months and six months ended July 3, 2004 as detailed in Note 10, “Segment Information,” of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Net sales and operating results for the Company’s major operations for the three months and six months ended July 3, 2004 and June 28, 2003 are presented below. As indicated in previous filings, beginning in 2004, the Company is no longer reporting order information for its major operating segments because changes in business process cycle time have reduced the usefulness of order reporting as an indicator of future periods’ net sales.

 

Personal Communications Segment

 

The Personal Communications segment (PCS) designs, manufactures, sells and services wireless handsets, with integrated software and accessory products. For the second quarters of 2004 and 2003, the segment’s net sales represented 45% and 38% of the Company’s consolidated net sales, respectively. For the first halves of 2004 and 2003, the segment’s net sales represented 46% and 39% of the Company’s consolidated net sales, respectively.

Three months ended July 3, 2004 compared to three months ended June 28, 2003

 

In the second quarter of 2004, the segment’s net sales increased 67% to $3.9 billion, compared to $2.3 billion in the second quarter of 2003. The increase in net sales in the second quarter of 2004 reflects continued strong consumer demand for new handsets, particularly for GSM handsets with integrated cameras. The strong demand for new handsets was reflected by increased net sales in all regions, particularly in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, Asia and Latin America. Continued strong demand for iDEN handsets contributed to the sales growth in the Americas.

 

The increase in net sales in second quarter of 2004 was primarily driven by a large increase in unit shipments, which were 24.1 million in the second quarter of 2004, up 52% from 15.8 million units in the second quarter of 2003. For the second quarter of 2004 compared with the second quarter of 2003, the segment believes it increased its overall global market share. Sequentially, compared to the first quarter of 2004, the segment estimates that its global market share decreased slightly. This slight sequential decrease is primarily attributed to decreases in market share in North America, EMEA and China. These decreases in market share were largely offset by an increase in market share in Latin America.

 

Also contributing to the increase in net sales was an improvement in the segment’s average selling price (ASP). In the second quarter of 2004, ASP increased approximately 16% compared to the second quarter of 2003 and remained relatively flat sequentially from the first quarter of 2004. The increase in ASP was primarily driven by a continuing shift in product mix towards higher-tier handsets. These higher-tier handsets are feature-rich units, with features including integrated cameras, large color displays, extended software applications, messaging functionality, advanced gaming features and an increased opportunity for personalization.

 

The segment’s operating earnings increased to $394 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared to operating earnings of $91 million in the second quarter of 2003. The improvement in operating results was due to an increase in gross margin, which was primarily due to the 67% increase in net sales. This improvement in gross margin was partially offset by: (i) an increase in overall SG&A expenditures, reflecting (a) an increase in general costs, primarily due to the increase in employee incentive program accruals, and (b) increased selling expenditures, primarily due to increased advertising and promotions expenditures, and (ii) an increase in R&D expenditures, primarily reflecting increased developmental engineering expenditures due to new product offerings. The segment’s industry typically experiences short life cycles for new products and, therefore, it is vital to the segment’s success that new, compelling products are constantly introduced. Accordingly, a strong commitment to R&D is required to fuel long-term growth.

 

The Company and Nextel Communications, Inc. (Nextel) continue to negotiate a long-term master supply agreement relating to products, software licensing and software support. However, the Company cannot be assured at this time of the terms of a supply contract renewal or Nextel’s continued exclusive long-term use of iDEN technology in its wireless business as it considers next-generation technology options. The Company’s current handset and infrastructure supply agreements with Nextel extend through the end of 2004.

 

Six months ended July 3, 2004 compared to six months ended June 28, 2003

 

In the first half of 2004, the segment’s net sales increased 67% to $8.0 billion, compared to $4.8 billion in the first half of 2003. The increase in net sales in the first half of 2004 reflects continued strong consumer demand for new handsets, particularly GSM handsets with integrated cameras. The strong demand for new

Table of Contents

handsets was reflected by increased net sales in all regions, particularly in EMEA, Asia and Latin America. The continued strong demand for iDEN handsets also contributed to the sales growth in the Americas.

 

The increase in net sales in first half of 2004 was primarily driven by a large increase in unit shipments, which were 49.4 million in the first half of 2004, up 51% from 32.6 million units in the first half of 2003. In the first half of 2004, ASP increased approximately 16% compared to the first half of 2003. The increase in ASP was primarily driven by a continuation of the shift in product mix towards higher-tier handsets that began in the fourth quarter of 2003.

 

The segment’s operating earnings increased to $792 million in the first half of 2004, compared to operating earnings of $205 million in the first half of 2003. The improvement in operating results was due to an increase in gross margin, which was primarily due to the 67% increase in net sales. This improvement in gross margin was partially offset by: (i) an increase in overall SG&A expenditures, reflecting (a) an increase in general costs, primarily due to the increase in employee incentive program accruals, and (b) increased selling expenditures, primarily due to increased advertising and promotions expenditures, and (ii) an increase in R&D expenditures, primarily reflecting increased developmental engineering expenditures due to new product offerings.

 

Semiconductor Products Segment

 

During the second quarter of 2004, the Company completed the separation of its semiconductor operations into a separate subsidiary, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (Freescale Semiconductor). In July 2004, an initial public offering of a minority interest of approximately 32.5% of Freescale Semiconductor was completed. As a majority-owned subsidiary, Freescale Semiconductor’s financial results are currently consolidated into Motorola’s financial results. Motorola currently intends to distribute the remaining 67.5% ownership interest in Freescale Semiconductor to our common stockholders before the end of 2004. However, the completion of the distribution is subject to conditions, some of which are beyond Motorola’s control. Subsequent to such a distribution, Freescale Semiconductor will no longer constitute a part of Motorola’s business operations and the related operating results of Freescale Semiconductor would be reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

 

The Semiconductor Products segment (SPS) designs, develops, manufactures and sells a broad range of semiconductor products that are based on its core capabilities in embedded processing. In addition, the segment offers a broad portfolio of devices that complement its families of embedded processors, including sensors, radio frequency semiconductors, power management and other analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. For the second quarters of 2004 and 2003, the segment’s net sales represented 17% and 18% of the Company’s consolidated net sales, respectively. For the first halves of 2004 and 2003, the segment’s net sales represented 17% and 19% of the Company’s consolidated net sales, respectively.

In the second quarter of 2004, the segment’s net sales increased 38% to $1.4 billion, compared to $1.0 billion in the second quarter of 2003. The increase in net sales was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures by the segment’s wireless service provider customers, which resulted in sales growth in all technologies and all regions. Sales growth was particularly strong in China, India, Japan and North America. The segment believes that its sales growth outpaced sales growth in the overall wireless infrastructure industry, resulting in increased market share for the segment for the second straight quarter.

 

The segment’s operating earnings increased to $208 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared to operating earnings of $19 million in the second quarter of 2003. The improvement in operating results was primarily due to: (i) an increase in gross margin, primarily attributed to the 38% increase in net sales, (ii) a $32 million charge for in-process research and development related to the Winphoria acquisition that occurred in the second quarter of 2003, and (iii) a decrease in R&D expenditures, reflecting benefits from improved efficiencies in developmental engineering. These improvements were partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenditures, primarily due to an increase in employee incentive program accruals.

 

The Company and Nextel Communications, Inc. (Nextel) continue to negotiate a long-term master supply agreement relating to products, software licensing and software support. However, the Company cannot be assured at this time of the terms of a supply contract renewal or Nextel’s continued exclusive long-term use of iDEN technology in its wireless business as it considers next-generation technology options. The Company’s current handset and infrastructure supply agreements with Nextel extend through the end of 2004.

 

The segment continues to build on its industry-leading position in push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) technology. In the second quarter, additional PoC contracts have been signed, bringing the total to 15 contracts covering 21 countries. These contracts offer PoC solutions for both CDMA2000 and GSM/GPRS networks.

In the second quarter of 2004, the segment’s net sales increased 13% to $1.1 billion, compared to $996 million in the second quarter of 2003. The increase in net sales is primarily due to increased spending by customers in the segment’s government market, in response to global homeland security initiatives, primarily in the Americas and Asia. Increased sales in the segment’s enterprise business also contributed to the overall sales increase. Net sales in the Americas accounted for 71% and 69% of the segment’s total net sales in the second quarter of 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

The segment’s operating earnings increased to $183 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared to operating earnings of $114 million in the second quarter of 2003. The improvement in operating results was primarily due to an increase in gross margin, which was due to: (i) the 13% increase in net sales, (ii) a favorable product mix, reflecting a higher proportion of sales of higher-margin subscriber equipment, and (iii) supply-chain efficiencies and overall cost structure improvements. The improvement in gross margin was partially offset by: (i) an increase in SG&A expenditures, primarily due to: (a) an increase in selling expenditures, due primarily to the increase in net sales, (b) an increase in employee incentive program accruals, and (ii) an increase in R&D expenditures.

 

With continued focus on global homeland security, the segment continues to monitor the funding for homeland security initiatives closely. The segment continues to work with its state and local government customers to facilitate homeland security funding.

 

The systems requested by some of the segments customers continue to reflect increased scope and size. Some customers want large systems, including country-wide and statewide systems. These larger systems, or “mega-systems,” are more complex and include a wide range of capabilities. Mega-system projects will impact how contracts are bid, which companies compete for bids and how companies partner on projects.

Three months ended July 3, 2004 compared to three months ended June 28, 2003

 

In the second quarter of 2004, the segment’s net sales increased 32% to $567 million, compared to $430 million in the second quarter of 2003. The increase in net sales was primarily due to: (i) increased purchases of cable set-tops and modems by cable operators, (ii) an increase in average selling price (ASP) due to a mix shift in digital set-top boxes towards higher-end products, (iii) an increase in retail sales, and (iv) an increase in net sales by Next Level. The segment experienced net sales growth in all regions. In the second quarter of 2004, 83% of the segment’s net sales were in the North America region, compared to 85% in the second quarter of 2003.

 

In the second quarter of 2004, compared to the second quarter of 2003, net sales of digital set-top boxes increased 38%, due to increases in both ASP and unit shipments. The increase in ASP reflects a product mix shift towards higher-end products, particularly high definition/digital video recording (HD/DVR) set-tops. This increase was partially offset by increased competition and by continued pricing pressures from major customers. The increase in unit shipments is primarily due to increased spending by the segment’s cable operator customers, driven by the increase in digital subscribers. The segment retained its leading market share for digital set-top boxes in North America.

 

In the second quarter of 2004, compared to the second quarter of 2003, net sales of cable modems increased 38%. The increase in net sales was a result of a large increase in unit shipments, partially offset by a decrease in ASP. The increase in unit shipments was primarily due to increased purchases of cable modems by cable operators, as well as an increase in retail sales, as consumer demand for high-speed cable access continues to increase. The decline in ASP is consistent with the overall decline in ASP’s in the industry during the period.

 

The segment’s operating earnings increased to $20 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared to operating earnings of $5 million in the second quarter of 2003. The increase in operating earnings was due to an increase in gross margin, driven primarily by the 32% increase in net sales. The improvement in operating earnings was partially offset by a $15 million charge for in-process research and development related to the acquisition of Quantum Bridge Communications, Inc. (Quantum Bridge).

 

In May 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of Quantum Bridge, a leading provider of fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) solutions. The acquisition complements Motorola’s existing multiservice technology, enhancing the Company’s ability to offer a full-service access platform that broadband network operators can

deploy to deliver the next generation of advanced services. Motorola plans to integrate Quantum Bridge’s field-proven passive optical networking (PON) and carrier-class switching technology into its suite of network infrastructure solutions, enhancing the Company’s market position in the end-to-end delivery of broadband products.

 

Six months ended July 3, 2004 compared to six months ended June 28, 2003

 

In the first half of 2004, the segment’s net sales increased 24% to $1.1 billion, compared to $851 million in the first half of 2003. The increase in net sales was primarily due to: (i) increased purchases of cable set-tops and modems by cable operators, (ii) an increase in ASP due to a mix shift in digital set-top boxes towards higher-end products, (iii) an increase in retail sales, and (iv) an increase in net sales by Next Level. The segment experienced net sales growth in all regions. In the first half of 2004, 83% of the segment’s net sales were in the North America region, compared to 85% in the first half of 2003.

 

In the first half of 2004, compared to the first half of 2003, net sales of digital set-top boxes increased 15%, due to increases in both ASP and unit shipments. The increase in ASP reflects a product mix shift towards higher-end products in the second quarter, particularly HD/DVR set-tops. This increase was partially offset by increased competition and by continued pricing pressures from major customers. The increase in unit shipments is primarily due to increased spending by the segment’s cable operator customers, driven by the increase in digital subscribers.

 

In the first half of 2004, compared to the first half of 2003, net sales of cable modems increased 26%. The increase in net sales was a result of a large increase in unit shipments, partially offset by a decline in ASP. The increase in shipments was primarily due to increased purchases of cable modems by cable operators, as well as an increase in retail sales, as consumer demand for high-speed cable access continues to increase.

 

The segment’s operating earnings increased to $44 million in the first half of 2004, compared to operating earnings of $18 million in the first half of 2003. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to: (i) an increase in gross margin, driven primarily by the 24% increase in net sales, and (ii) a decrease in SG&A expenditures, which was primarily due to: (a) reversal of a bad debt reserve as a result of the collection of receivables related to a bankrupt customer, (b) a decrease in intangible amortization, and (c) a decrease in administrative expenditures due to prior cost reductions by Next Level. These improvements in operating earnings were partially offset by a $15 million charge for in-process research and development related to the acquisition of Quantum Bridge.

The decline in operating results was primarily due to: (i) income of $59 million due to a reversal of accruals no longer needed related to the Iridium project that occurred in the first half of 2003, (ii) income of $33 million on the gain on the sale of Iridium-related assets that were previously written down that occurred in the first half of 2003, (iii) income of $7 million from the reversal of accruals no longer needed due to a settlement with the Company’s insurer on items related to previous environmental claims that occurred in the first half of 2003, (iv) an increase in SG&A expenditures, primarily due to increased employee incentive program accruals, and (v) an increase in R&D expenditures, due to increased spending on developmental business and R&D projects. These items were partially offset by: (i) a decrease in reorganization of business charges in the first half of 2004 compared to the first half of 2003, and (ii) an increase in gross margin, due primarily to the 10% increase in net sales.

 

In the first half of 2004, the segment recorded income of $8 million from the reversal of accruals no longer needed related to employee severance programs and the exit of a research and development facility in Tempe, Arizona. In the first half of 2003, the segment recorded reorganization of business charges of $20 million, primarily relating to fixed asset impairments of assets classified as held for sale.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

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

 

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

 

  Deferred tax asset valuation

 

  Valuation of investments and long-lived assets

 

57


Table of Contents
  Restructuring activities

 

  Allowance for losses on finance receivables

 

  Retirement-related benefits

 

  Long-term contract accounting

 

  Inventory valuation reserves

 

In the second quarter of 2004, there has been no change in the above critical accounting policies. With the exception of deferred tax asset valuation, there has been no significant change in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in the above significant accounting policies.

 

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability and establishes a valuation allowance based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the implementation of tax-planning strategies. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions, or if there is a material change in the actual effective tax rates or time period within which the underlying temporary differences become taxable or deductible, the Company could be required to increase its valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets resulting in an increase in its effective tax rate and an adverse impact on operating results.

 

In the second quarter of 2004, the Company completed the separation of its semiconductor operations into a separate legal entity, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (Freescale Semiconductor). In July 2004, the initial public offering (IPO) of stock of Freescale Semiconductor was completed resulting in Freescale Semiconductor becoming a stand-alone taxpayer, separate from the Company. During the second quarter of 2004, when it became more likely than not that the IPO would occur, the Company reevaluated Freescale Semiconductor’s net deferred tax assets and recorded a non-cash tax charge of $898 million to reduce its deferred tax assets, via a valuation allowance, to the value more likely than not to be realized in the future. If the remaining shares of Freescale Semiconductor are distributed to Motorola stockholders, the related operating results of Freescale, including the charge to establish the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, would be reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The distribution of Freescale Semiconductor shares to Motorola stockholders is subject to many conditions, including final approval of the Motorola board of directors, suitable market conditions and regulatory and governmental approvals.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

As a multinational company, the Company’s transactions are denominated in a variety of currencies. The Company uses financial instruments to hedge, and therefore attempts to reduce its overall exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on cash flows. The Company’s policy is not to speculate in financial instruments for profit on the exchange rate price fluctuation, trade in currencies for which there are no underlying exposures, or enter into trades for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure. Instruments used as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and must be designated as a hedge at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in market values of hedge instruments must be highly correlated with changes in market values of underlying hedged items both at inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract.

 

The Company’s strategy in foreign exchange exposure issues is to offset the gains or losses of the financial instruments against losses or gains on the underlying operational cash flows or investments based on the operating business units’ assessment of risk. Almost all of the Company’s non-functional currency receivables

 

58


Table of Contents

and payables, which are denominated in major currencies that can be traded on open markets, are hedged. The Company uses forward contracts and options to hedge these currency exposures. In addition, the Company hedges some firmly committed transactions and some forecasted transactions. The Company expects that it may hedge investments in foreign subsidiaries in the future. A portion of the Company’s exposure is from currencies that are not traded in liquid markets, such as those in Latin America, and these are addressed, to the extent reasonably possible, through managing net asset positions, product pricing, and component sourcing.

 

At July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company had net outstanding foreign exchange contracts totaling $3.2 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively. Management believes that these financial instruments should not subject the Company to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should offset losses and gains on the assets, liabilities, and transactions being hedged. The following table shows, in millions of U.S. dollars, the five largest net foreign exchange hedge positions as of July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003:

Canadian Dollar

     259       187

     (141 )     (166 )

 

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses if counterparties to financial instruments fail to perform their obligations. However, it does not expect any counterparties, which presently have high credit ratings, to fail to meet their obligations.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

At July 3, 2004, the Company’s short-term debt consisted primarily of $300 million of commercial paper, priced at short-term interest rates. The Company has $6.7 billion of long-term debt, including current maturities, which is primarily priced at long-term, fixed interest rates. To change the characteristics of a portion of these interest rate payments, the Company has entered into a number of interest rate swaps.

 

In order to manage the mix of fixed and floating rates in its debt portfolio, the Company has entered into interest rate swaps to change the characteristics of interest rate payments from fixed-rate payments to short-term LIBOR-based variable rate payments. The following table displays the interest rate swaps that were in place at July 3, 2004:

 

Date Executed


   Principal Amount
Hedged
(in millions)

March 2002

     300    7.6% notes due 2007
    

    
     $ 4,025     

 

In addition, in June 1999, the Company’s finance subsidiary entered into interest rate swaps to change the characteristics of interest rate payments on all $500 million of its 6.75% Guaranteed Bonds due 2004 from fixed-rate payments to short-term LIBOR-based variable rate payments in order to match the funding with its underlying assets. This interest rate swap expired on June 21, 2004, when the underlying fixed-rate debt matured and was repaid.

 

59


Table of Contents

The short-term LIBOR-based variable rate payments on each of the above interest rate swaps was 2.9% for the three months ended July 3, 2004. The fair value of all interest rate swaps at July 3, 2004 and December 31, 2003, was approximately $18 million and $150 million, respectively. Except for these interest rate swaps, the Company had no outstanding commodity derivatives, currency swaps or options relating to debt instruments at July 3, 2004 or December 31, 2003.

 

The Company designates its interest rate hedge agreements as hedges for the underlying debt. Interest expense on the debt is adjusted to include the payments made or received under such hedge agreements.

 

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to its swap contracts. The Company minimizes its credit risk on these transactions by only dealing with leading, credit-worthy financial institutions having long-term debt ratings of “A” or better and, therefore, does not anticipate nonperformance. In addition, the contracts are distributed among several financial institutions, thus minimizing credit risk concentration.

 

Investment Hedge

 

In March 2003, the Company entered into three agreements with multiple investment banks to hedge up to 25 million of its remaining 83.2 million shares of common stock of Nextel Communications, Inc. (Nextel). The three agreements are to be settled over periods of three, four and five years, respectively. Under these agreements, the Company received no initial proceeds, but has retained the right to receive, at any time during the contract periods, the present value of the aggregate contract “floor” price. Pursuant to these agreements, and exclusive of any present value discount, the Company is entitled to receive aggregate proceeds of approximately $333 million. The precise number of shares of Nextel common stock that the Company will deliver to satisfy the contracts is dependent upon the price of Nextel common stock on the various settlement dates. The maximum aggregate number of shares the Company would be required to deliver under these agreements is 25 million and the minimum number of shares is 18.5 million. Alternatively, the Company has the exclusive option to settle the contracts in cash. The Company will retain all voting rights associated with the up to 25 million hedged Nextel shares. Pursuant to customary market practice, the covered shares are pledged to secure the hedge contracts. As a result of the increase in the price of Nextel common stock since March 2003, the Company has recorded a $277 million liability in Other Liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet to reflect the fair value of the Nextel hedge.

 

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, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”).

Personal Injury Cases

 

Cases relating to Wireless Telephone Usage

 

Motorola has been a defendant in several cases arising out of its manufacture and sale of wireless telephones. Jerald P. Busse, et al. v. Motorola, Inc. et al., filed October 26, 1995 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, is a class action alleging that defendants have failed to adequately warn

Table of Contents

consumers of the alleged dangers of cellular telephones and challenging ongoing safety studies as invasions of privacy. On October 9, 2002, the Circuit Court entered summary judgment in defendants’ favor. On June 22, 2004, the Illinois Appellate Court affirmed the lower court’s entry of summary judgment and dismissal of the case. On July 13, 2004, plaintiffs filed a petition for rehearing with the Illinois Appellate Court. On August 3, 2004, the Illinois Appellate Court denied the petition for rehearsing. Medica et al., v. Motorola, Inc., et al., filed September 7, 1999 in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, alleges that use of a cellular phone caused a malignant brain tumor. On July 7, 2004, the district court dismissed the case without prejudice.

 

During 2002, the multi-district litigation panel transferred and consolidated several cases, Murray v. Motorola, Inc., et al., Agro et. al., v. Motorola, Inc., et al., Cochran et. al., v. Audiovox Corporation, et al., Schofield et. al., v. Matsushita Electric Corporation of America, et al., each of which alleges that use of a cellular phone caused a malignant brain tumor, to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings in the matter called In re Wireless Telephone Radio Frequency Emissions Products Liability Litigation. On July 19, 2004, the District Court for the District of Maryland found that there was no federal court jurisdiction over those four cases and remanded those cases to the Superior Court for the District of Columbia.

 

Iridium-Related Cases

 

Iridium India Lawsuits

 

Motorola and certain of its current and former officers and directors were named as defendants in a private criminal complaint filed by Iridium India Telecom Ltd. (“Iridium India”) in October 2001 in the Court of the Extra Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Khadki, Pune, India. Iridium India is the purchaser of certain rights from Iridium LLC (“Iridium”) to set up, develop and operate a gateway for the Iridium system in South Asia. The Iridium India Telecom Ltd. v. Motorola, Inc. et al. complaint alleges that the defendants conspired to, and did, commit the criminal offense of “cheating” by fraudulently inducing Iridium India to purchase gateway equipment from Motorola, acquire Iridium stock, and invest in developing a market for Iridium services in India.

 

In September 2002, Iridium India also filed a civil suit in the Bombay High Court against Motorola and Iridium. The suit alleges fraud, intentional misrepresentation and negligent misrepresentation by Motorola and Iridium in inducing Iridium India to purchase gateway equipment from Motorola, acquire Iridium stock, and invest in developing a market for Iridium services in India. Iridium India claims in excess of $200 million in damages and interest. In conjunction with the filing of the civil suit, Iridium India moved for interim relief and obtained, without notice to Motorola, an order prohibiting Motorola from removing assets from India. In April 2004, the appellate division of the Bombay High Court entered an order restraining Motorola from removing, transferring or encumbering any of its assets in India until $120 million has been deposited with the Bombay High Court or secured by a bank guarantee, to be held pending trial. Toward that end, the order directed four Motorola customers in India to deposit with the court certain amounts owed to Motorola allegedly totaling approximately $90 million, rather than paying them to Motorola. Motorola petitioned the Indian Supreme Court for discretionary review and a stay. Pending additional action by the Indian courts, Motorola informed the four customers named in the Bombay High Court order of their obligation to deposit certain amounts with the court and instructed its other customers in India to direct their payments to a special Motorola bank account in India where they are required to remain pending further court orders. At an initial hearing in July, the Supreme Court stayed the Bombay High Court order pending further proceedings, subject to Motorola’s bringing the total amount deposited in the special account and a similar, previously-established account to approximately $44 million by no later than August 23, 2004. A further hearing is scheduled in October.

 

Shareholder Derivative Case

 

M&C Partners III v. Galvin, et al., filed January 10, 2002, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, is a shareholder derivative suit filed derivatively on behalf of Motorola against fifteen current and former members of the Motorola Board of Directors and Motorola as a nominal defendant. The lawsuit alleges that the Motorola

 

62


Table of Contents

directors breached their fiduciary duty to the Company and/or committed gross mismanagement of Motorola’s business and assets by allowing Motorola to engage in improper practices with respect to Iridium. The suit seeks an unspecified amount of damages.

 

In October 2003, the court dismissed plaintiff’s amended complaint in its entirety without prejudice. On April 13, 2004, the court denied plaintiff’s motion to stay the litigation, with leave to file an amended complaint. On May 21, 2004, plaintiff made a demand on the Motorola Board of Directors to investigate the alleged wrongful conduct at issue in the lawsuit, and concurrently filed a motion for leave to file a Second Amended Complaint.

 

An unfavorable outcome in one or more of the Iridium-related cases still pending could have a material adverse effect on Motorola’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

 

Telsim-Related Cases

 

Motorola is owed approximately $2 billion under loans to Telsim Mobil Telekomunikasyon Hizmetleri A.S. (“Telsim”), a wireless telephone operator in Turkey. Telsim defaulted on the payment of these loans in April 2001. The Company fully reserved the carrying value of the Telsim loans in the second quarter of 2002. The Company is involved in the following legal proceedings related to Telsim. The Uzan family formerly controlled Telsim. Telsim and its related companies are now under the control of the Turkish government.

 

U.S. Case

 

On January 28, 2002, Motorola Credit Corporation (“MCC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola, initiated a civil action with Nokia Corporation (“Nokia”), Motorola Credit Corporation and Nokia Corporation v. Kemal Uzan, et al., against several members of the Uzan family, as well as one of their employees and controlled companies, alleging that the defendants engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity and violated various state and federal laws. The suit alleged 13 separate counts of wrongdoing, including (i) three counts alleging violations of Illinois fraud and conspiracy laws; (ii) three federal statutory counts alleging computer hacking; (iii) one count alleging violations of the Illinois Trade Secrets Act; (iv) one count seeking imposition of an equitable lien and constructive trust; (v) one count seeking declaratory relief; and (vi) four counts of criminal activity in violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly known as “RICO”. The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “U.S. District Court”). The U.S. District Court issued its final ruling on July 31, 2003 as described below.

 

Upon filing the action, MCC and Nokia were able to attach various Uzan-owned real estate in New York. Subsequently, this attachment order was expanded to include a number of bank accounts, including those owned indirectly by the Uzans. On May 9, 2002, the U.S. District Court entered a preliminary injunction confirming the prejudgment relief previously granted. These attachments remain in place.

 

The U.S. District Court tried the case without a jury to conclusion on February 19, 2003. Subsequent to the trial of the case, and before a final ruling had been issued, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (“the Appellate Court”) issued an opinion on March 7, 2003 regarding a series of appeals filed by the Uzans from the U.S. District Court’s earlier rulings. In its opinion, the Appellate Court remanded the case back to the U.S. District Court on the grounds that the RICO claims were premature and not yet ripe for adjudication, but concluded that the claims might become timely at some future point. The Appellate Court directed that the RICO claims be dismissed without prejudice to their being later reinstated. The Appellate Court, however, upheld the May 2002 Preliminary Injunction, finding that it was sufficiently supported by the fraud claims under Illinois law, and did not rule on the merits of the Uzans’ claim that this matter may only be resolved through arbitration in Switzerland. A discussion of the arbitration in Switzerland can be found in the section below entitled “Foreign Proceedings.”

 

63


Table of Contents

In accordance with the mandate from the Appellate Court, on April 3, 2003, the U.S. District Court dismissed the RICO claims without prejudice. On July 8, 2003, MCC filed a motion seeking to have its RICO claims reinstated on the grounds that pursuing further actions against Telsim would be “futile.”

 

On July 31, 2003, the U.S. District Court entered a judgment in favor of MCC for $4.26 billion. The U.S. District Court declined to reinstate the RICO claims, but held that the court had jurisdiction to decide the merits of the Illinois fraud claims. MCC’s fraud claims under Illinois common law fraud and civil conspiracy were sufficient to support a full judgment on behalf of MCC in the amount of $2.13 billion in compensatory damages. The U.S. District Court also awarded $2.13 billion in punitive damages. In addition, the preliminary injunction was converted into a permanent injunction, essentially unaltered in scope, and the U.S. District Court also ordered the Uzans arrested and imprisoned if they are found within 100 miles of the court’s jurisdiction for being in contempt of court.

 

On August 8, 2003, the U.S. District Court denied the Uzans’ request for a stay of execution of the judgment pending appeal. To stay execution, the Uzans were required to post a bond of $1 billion by August 15, 2003. The Uzans did not post the bond and instead appealed the U.S. District Court decision to the Appellate Court. On August 18, 2003, the Appellate Court assigned the appeal to a three-judge panel of the Appellate Court (“the motions panel”) and MCC and Nokia requested that the motions panel dismiss the Uzans’ appeal, based on the Uzans’ repeated failures to comply with court orders and their fugitive status.

 

On September 26, 2003, the motions panel granted MCC’s and Nokia’s motion, in part, dismissed the individual Uzans’ appeals and denied any stay of execution on the judgment against the individual Uzans. In addition, the Appellate Court vacated the judgment against the three corporate defendants and remanded certain questions to the U.S. District Court to decide in connection with the proceedings against the corporate defendants. The stay of execution was kept in place as against the corporate defendants.

 

On February 6, 2004, the motions panel of the Appellate Court denied the individual Uzans’ motion for reconsideration and stay of execution and issued a mandate.

 

While the Defendants’ motion for rehearing by the entire Appellate Court was pending, on April 16, 2004, the motions panel vacated the orders entered by the Appellate Court on September 26, 2003 and February 6, 2004 and referred the matter to a “merits panel in the normal course.” In addition, the motions panel of the Appellate Court referred the Uzans’ motion for a stay, previously filed in August 2003, to the “said merits panel” and ordered that the stay previously entered by the Appellate Court on August 18 “shall remain in force until the merits panel reaches a decision on the motion for a stay or on the merits.” The motions panel of the Appellate Court further ordered that the motion to dismiss the appeal previously filed by MCC and Nokia be denied without prejudice to its “renewal before the merits panel.”

 

By orders dated May 7, 2004 and May 13, 2004, the Appellate Court denied the Company’s motion to vacate the stay, but granted the Company’s motion to expedite the appeal. The case was argued before a three-judge merits panel of the Appellate Court in June 2004. The Appellate Court asked for additional briefing on certain legal issues. Such additional briefing was completed at the end of July 2004.

 

Until the Appellate Court resolves the Uzans’ application for a stay, MCC’s efforts to execute on its judgment against the Uzans are stayed and the previously-begun efforts to liquidate Uzan assets in the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Switzerland are halted. Regardless of the outcome of the Uzans’ stay application, the Company continues to believe that the litigation, collection and/or settlement processes will be very lengthy in light of the Uzans’ continued resistance to satisfy the judgment against them and their decision to violate various courts’ orders, including orders holding them in contempt of court. In addition, the Turkish government has asserted control over Telsim and certain other interests of the Uzans and this may make Motorola’s collection efforts more difficult.

Foreign Proceedings

 

In 2002, the United Kingdom’s High Court of Justice, Queen’s Bench Division (the “UK Court”), on motion of MCC, entered a worldwide freezing injunction against Cem Uzan, Hakan Uzan, Kemal Uzan and Aysegul Akay, freezing each of their assets up to a value of $200 million. The Uzans were ultimately held in contempt of court and ordered to be incarcerated for failing to make a full disclosure concerning their worldwide assets. On June 12, 2003, the UK Court of Appeal affirmed the lower court’s decision against Cem Uzan and Aysegul Akay, but concluded that MCC was not able to enforce the freezing order against Hakan Uzan and Kemal Uzan because they had no assets in England and Wales. Consequently, the lower court’s rulings as to Hakan Uzan and Kemal Uzan were reversed. MCC has appealed this aspect of the Court of Appeal’s decision. The Court of Appeal agreed to stay its Orders in relation to Hakan Uzan and Kemal Uzan, so that the Worldwide Freezing Orders remain effective against them and their worldwide assets, pending MCC’s appeal to the House of Lords. As a result of the Court of Appeal’s decision, the UK assets of Cem Uzan and Aysegul Akay, which total approximately $12.7 million, remain frozen and MCC has commenced the execution process in satisfaction of the New York judgment. In December 2003, the House of Lords issued a final judgment, declining to hear an appeal from the Court of Appeal’s decision, thus keeping the Court of Appeals’ decision in place. These execution proceedings are now stayed.

 

Motorola has also filed attachment proceedings in several other foreign jurisdictions resulting in the preliminary seizure of assets owned by the Uzans and various entities within their control. These executions proceedings are now stayed.

 

On February 5, 2002, Telsim initiated arbitration against MCC in Switzerland at the Zurich Chamber of Commerce. In Telsim’s request for arbitration, Telsim acknowledged its debt, but has alleged that the disruption in the Turkish economy during 2001 should excuse Telsim’s failure to make payments on the MCC loans as required under the agreements between the parties. Telsim seeks a ruling excusing its failure to adhere to the original payment schedule and establishing a new schedule for repayment of Telsim’s debt to MCC. Telsim has failed to comply with its proposed new schedule, missing the first three payments totaling approximately $85 million. In August 2003, MCC moved the arbitration panel for a partial award, seeking a judgment for the $85 million. Telsim opposed the motion. On January 26, 2004, the arbitral tribunal granted MCC’s request and entered a Partial Final Award in favor of MCC and against Telsim in the amount of $85 million. MCC has initiated proceedings to enforce this award against Telsim in Turkey. On May 4, 2004, Telsim filed an opposition to this enforcement petition in Turkey. This proceeding has been discontinued (without prejudice) while MCC appeals the Turkish court’s ruling that MCC pay a multi-million dollar court fee. MCC has requested a second partial award of $40 million from the arbitration panel to account for a loan payment that would have been due at year-end 2003 even under Telsim’s proposed loan repayment schedule. On May 10, 2004, Telsim filed an opposition to this request for a partial award. In the opposition, Telsim claimed that since it is under new management subject to certain Turkish court orders prohibiting payment to private creditors (Telsim was taken over by the Turkish government from the Uzans in February 2004 pursuant to these court orders obtained by the Turkish government), it is no longer bound by the prior proposed debt re-scheduling. In June 2004, MCC filed a request for a further award of $1.73 billion based on alleged further breaches of the financing agreements and a reply in support of MCC’s request for the $40 million partial award. A hearing was held on these matters in June 2004. Telsim filed an opposition to this $1.73 billion request in July 2004.

 

On June 7, 2002, Rumeli Telfon (“Rumeli”) initiated arbitration against MCC in the Zurich Chamber of Commerce seeking a ruling requiring that MCC consent to Rumeli’s request to place the Diluted Stock into an escrow account in Switzerland. Pursuant to the request of Rumeli, this arbitration is now stayed.

 

On June 19, 2002, Telsim initiated arbitration against Motorola, Ltd. and Motorola Komunikasyon Ticaret v.p. Servis Ltd. Sti., both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Motorola, before the International Chamber of Commerce in Zurich, Switzerland, initially seeking approximately 179 million pounds as damages for the defendants’ alleged sale of defective products to Telsim. Telsim increased the amount of its claim to

approximately 300 million pounds. Motorola has denied the claims and has filed a counterclaim. Hearings were held in January and March 2004 and further hearings are scheduled for October 2004.

 

In re Adelphia Communications Corp. Securities and Derivative Litigation

 

On December 22, 2003, Motorola was named as a defendant in two cases relating to the In re Adelphia Communications Corp. Securities and Derivative Litigation (the “Adelphia MDL”). The Adelphia MDL consists of at least eleven individual cases and one purported class action that were filed in or have been transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. First, Motorola was named as a defendant in the Second Amended Complaint in the individual case of W.R. Huff Asset Management Co. L.L.C. v. Deloitte & Touche, et al. This case was originally filed by W.R. Huff Asset Management Co. L.L.C. on June 7, 2002, in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York and was subsequently transferred to the Southern District of New York as related to the Adelphia MDL. Several other individual and corporate defendants are also named in the amended complaint along with Motorola.

 

As to Motorola, the complaint alleges a claim arising under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and seeks recovery of the consideration paid by plaintiff for Adelphia debt securities, compensatory damages, costs and expenses of litigation and other relief. Motorola has recently been served with this complaint, the case is in its early stages, and fact discovery has not yet begun. Motorola filed a motion to dismiss this complaint on March 8, 2004.

 

Also on December 22, 2003, Motorola was named as a defendant in Stocke v. John J. Rigas, et al. This case was originally filed in Pennsylvania and was subsequently transferred to the Southern District of New York as related to the Adelphia MDL. Several other individual and corporate defendants are also named in the amended complaint along with Motorola. As to Motorola, the complaint alleges a federal law claim arising under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and a state law claim of aiding and abetting fraud relating to Adelphia securities. The complaint seeks return of the consideration paid by plaintiff for Adelphia securities, punitive damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, costs and expenses of litigation and other relief. Motorola filed a motion to dismiss this complaint on April 12, 2004.

 

On July 23, 2004, Motorola was named as a defendant in Argent Classic Convertible Arbitrage Fund L.P., et al. v. Scientific-Atlanta, Inc., et al. (the “Argent Complaint”), which was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Argent Complaint is a purported class action lawsuit on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the publicly-traded securities of Adelphia Communications Corporation (“Adelphia”) from October 1, 2000 through June 10, 2002. As to Motorola, the Argent Complaint alleges that certain commercial transactions between Adelphia and Motorola relating to Adelphia’s purchases of digital set-top boxes and marketing support agreement(s) purportedly resulted in violations of the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws with respect to investors in Adelphia securities. With respect to Motorola, the Argent Complaint alleges a federal law claim arising under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Argent Complaint seeks compensatory damages of an undisclosed amount on behalf of all class members, costs and expenses of litigation and other relief. The Argent Complaint has been identified by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as potentially related to the currently ongoing Adelphia MDL proceeding and is likely to be coordinated and/or consolidated in the Adelphia MDL.

 

See Item 3 of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, as well as Part II, Item 1 of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2004, for additional disclosures regarding pending matters.

 

Motorola is a defendant in various other suits, claims and investigations that arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, and other than discussed in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K with respect to the Iridium cases, the ultimate disposition of the Company’s pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
