Explanatory Note:

 

This Form 8-K presents previously reported selected GAAP financial information of Motorola, Inc. for fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009 in a reclassified format to reflect: 1) the revised presentation of the Company’s operating business segments as a result of a realigned business structure, and 2) the reclassification of certain costs, previously recorded as Corporate expenses, from Other and Eliminations to the operating business segments.  These changes do not affect the consolidated Motorola, Inc. amounts previously reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity or cash flows in any prior period.  This Form 8-K is intended to assist investors in making comparisons of the Company’s historical financial information with future financial information.

 

The information in this Form 8-K that is furnished under “Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition” and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 

Item 2.02  Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

On February 11, 2010, Motorola, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that the Company is targeting the first quarter of 2011 for the completion of its planned separation into two independent, publicly traded companies.  The Company currently expects that, upon separation, one public company will be comprised of the Company’s Mobile Devices and Home businesses and the other public company will be comprised of the Company’s Enterprise Mobility Solutions and Networks businesses.  Dr. Sanjay K. Jha, co-chief executive officer of Motorola, Inc., will serve as chief executive officer of the Mobile Devices and Home business, and Mr. Gregory Q. Brown, co-chief executive officer of Motorola, Inc., will serve as chief executive officer of the Enterprise Mobility Solutions and Networks business.  As a result of this announcement, Motorola, Inc. has realigned its businesses as of the first quarter of 2010 and will now report financial results for the following four operating business segments:

 

·                  Mobile Devices:  This segment designs, manufactures, sells and services wireless handsets, including smartphones, with integrated software and accessory products, and licenses intellectual property.

 

·                  Home:  This segment designs, manufactures, sells, installs and services digital video, Internet Protocol video and broadcast network interactive set-tops, end-to-end video distribution systems, broadband access infrastructure platforms, and associated data and voice customer premise equipment for cable television and telecom service providers.

 

·                  Enterprise Mobility Solutions:  This segment designs, manufactures, sells, installs and services analog and digital two-way radios, wireless LAN and security products, voice and data communications products and systems for private networks, wireless broadband systems and end-to-end enterprise mobility solutions.

 

·                  Networks:  This segment designs, manufactures, sells, installs and services wireless network systems, including cellular infrastructure systems and wireless and wireline cable and cellular broadband systems, for wireless service providers.

 

Additionally, prior to the first quarter of 2010, certain costs, including some elements of share-based compensation, intangible assets amortization expense, business-related asset impairments and other Corporate expenses, were recorded at Corporate and included in Other and Eliminations.  In addition to the business realignment discussed above, effective as of the first quarter of 2010, the Company will allocate the costs described above to the operating business segments.

 

Accordingly, previously reported selected GAAP financial information of the Company for fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009 has been revised to reflect: 1) the revised presentation of the Company’s operating business segments resulting from the realigned business structure, and 2) the reclassification of the costs discussed above from Other and Eliminations to the operating business segments.  These changes do not affect the consolidated Motorola, Inc. amounts previously reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity or cash flows in any prior period.
