Executive Overview

Business Overview

The Company manages the business organizationally through two segments: “Products and Systems Integration” and “Software and Services." Within these segments the Company has three principal product lines in which the Company reports net sales: Land Mobile Radio Communications (“LMR” or “LMR Communications”), Video Security and Access Control ("Video") and Command Center.

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

  • Video: Cameras (fixed, body-worn, in-vehicle), access control, sensors, infrastructure, video management, software and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered analytics that help enable visibility and bring attention to what’s important.

  • Command Center: Command center solutions and software applications that unify voice, video, data and analytics from public safety agencies, enterprises and the community to create a broad informational view to help simplify workflows and improve the accuracy and speed of decisions.

First Quarter Financial Results

  • Net sales were $2.5 billion in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $2.4 billion in the first quarter of 2024.

  • Operating earnings were $582 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $519 million in the first quarter of 2024.

  • Net earnings attributable to Motorola Solutions, Inc. was $430 million, or $2.53 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $39 million, or $(0.23) per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2024.

  • Operating cash flow increased $128 million to $510 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $382 million in the first quarter of 2024.

  • We repurchased $325 million of common stock and paid $182 million in dividends in the first quarter of 2025.

Recent Events

Macroeconomic Environment Update

Beginning in February 2025, the United States implemented significant global tariffs on imports, contributing to a global trade landscape subject to changing import/export regulations, tariffs, trade barriers and trade disputes. As a result, we see growing volatility and uncertainty around the global supply chain.

We engage with global suppliers across a diverse network of locations around the world. We continue to work with our global supply base to mitigate our exposure to the risks to global reciprocal (and sectoral) tariffs that have developed, and which may continue to develop, in order to ensure supply continues at levels in order to meet our current customer demand. As a result of the dynamic environment, we expect increased costs on materials and components in 2025, which we currently expect to substantially mitigate.

U.K. Home Office Update

Beginning August 1, 2023, the United Kingdom's Competition and Markets Authority ("CMA") imposed a legal order which implemented a prospective price control ("the Charge Control") on Airwave, our private mobile radio communications network that provides mission-critical voice and data communications to emergency services and other agencies in Great Britain. Our appeal of the implementation of the Charge Control to the United Kingdom's Court of Appeal was unsuccessful and we have no further right to appeal to the United Kingdom Courts. Since August 1, 2023, revenue under the Airwave contract has been, and will continue to be, recognized in accordance with the Charge Control.

In 2024, we received a notice of contract extension (the “Deferred National Shutdown Notice”) from the Home Office of the United Kingdom (the "Home Office"). The Deferred National Shutdown Notice extends the “national shutdown target date” of the Airwave service from December 31, 2026 to December 31, 2029, at the Charge Control rates and is fully reflected in our reported backlog. In 2024, we filed proceedings with the U.K. High Court challenging the decision of the Home Office to issue the Deferred National Shutdown Notice as being in breach of applicable U.K. procurement and public law. During the first quarter of 2025, these proceedings were discontinued.

On December 12, 2024, a proposed class representative filed a claim with the Competition Appeal Tribunal ("CAT") to bring collective proceedings against us, alleging that users of Airwave services during the period January 1, 2020 through July 31, 2023 suffered financial harm as a result of the pricing in effect during such time (the "Collective Proceeding"). The initial stage of the Collective Proceeding will involve potential "Certification" of the claim by the CAT, which we expect to be heard in September 2025.

Results of Operations—Three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to three months ended March 30, 2024

The results of operations for the first quarter of 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. Historically, we have experienced higher revenues in the fourth quarter as compared to the rest of the quarters of our fiscal year as a result of the purchasing patterns of our customers.

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

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

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

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

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

Net Sales

The Products and Systems Integration segment’s net sales represented 61% of our net sales in the first quarter of 2025 and 62% in the first quarter of 2024. The Software and Services segment’s net sales represented 39% of our net sales in the first quarter of 2025 and 38% in the first quarter of 2024.

Net sales increased $139 million, or 6%, in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The $83 million, or 9% increase in net sales within the Software and Services segment was driven by an increase of 10% in the North America region and an increase of 7% in the International region. The $56 million, or 4%, increase in net sales within the Products and Systems Integration segment was driven by an increase of 9% in the North America region, partially offset by a decrease of 10% in the International region. Net sales includes:

  • an increase in the Software and Services segment, inclusive of $32 million of revenue from acquisitions, driven by an increase in Video, LMR services and Command Center;

Income tax expense increased by $167 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21%. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 29, 2025 of 21% was lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2024 of 58%, primarily due to the non-tax deductible loss on the extinguishment of the Silver Lake Convertible Debt in 2024, partially offset by the tax benefit recognized upon the Company's decision to implement a business initiative in 2024 which allowed for additional utilization of foreign tax credit carryforwards and a higher foreign derived intangible income deduction on its 2023 U.S. tax return.

Reorganization of Business

During the first quarter of 2025, we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $17 million, consisting of $12 million of charges in Other charges and $5 million of charges in Cost of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Included in the $17 million were charges of $19 million related to employee separation costs, partially offset by $2 million of reversals for employee separation accruals that are no longer needed.

During the first quarter of 2024, we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $10 million, including $7 million of charges recorded in Other charges and $3 million of charges in Costs of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At March 29, 2025, $1.3 billion of the $1.6 billion cash and cash equivalents balance was held in the U.S. and $302 million was held in other countries.

Operating Activities

The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities from the first quarter of 2024 to the first quarter of 2025 was driven primarily by higher earnings and improved working capital.

Investing Activities

The increase in cash flows used for investing activities in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to an increase in cash used for acquisitions and investments.

Financing Activities

The increase in cash flows used for financing activities in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by (see also further discussion in the "Debt," "Share Repurchase Program" and "Dividends" sections below in this Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q):

  • $1.3 billion decrease in net proceeds from the issuance of debt in the first quarter of 2024 driven the issuance of our 5.0% senior notes due 2029 and 5.4% senior notes due 2034 that did not occur in first quarter of 2025;

Three Months Ended

Long-term receivables sales proceeds$24$10

Debt

We had outstanding debt of $6.0 billion, of which $322 million was current, at both March 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

As of March 29, 2025, $252 million of 7.5% debentures due 2025, which mature in May 2025, and $70 million of 6.5% debentures due 2025, which mature in September 2025, were classified within the Current portion of long-term debt within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as the debentures mature within the next twelve months.

We have a $2.25 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility scheduled to mature in March 2026 (the "2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement"). The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes a letter of credit sub-limit and fronting commitments of $450 million. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the prime rate plus the applicable margin, or at a spread above the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), at our option. An annual facility fee is payable on the undrawn amount of the credit line. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment if our credit rating changes. We must comply with certain customary covenants including a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with our financial covenants as of March 29, 2025.

Subsequent to the quarter end, on April 25, 2025, we entered into a $2.25 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in April 2030 which can be used for general corporate purposes and letters of credit (the "2025 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement"). The 2025 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement replaces the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement scheduled to mature in March 2026. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the prime rate plus the applicable margin, or at a spread above the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), at our option. An annual facility fee is payable on the undrawn amount of the credit line. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment if our credit rating changes. We must comply with certain customary covenants including a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the 2025 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement.

We have an unsecured commercial paper program, backed by the 2025 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement, under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $2.2 billion outstanding at any one time. Proceeds from the issuances of the notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. As of March 29, 2025 we had no outstanding debt under the commercial paper program.

We have investment grade ratings on our senior unsecured long-term debt. We continue to believe that we will be able to maintain sufficient access to the capital markets in the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.

Share Repurchase Program

During the three months ended March 29, 2025, we repurchased approximately 0.7 million shares at an average price of $437.17 per share for an aggregate amount of $325 million, excluding transaction costs and excise tax. As of March 29, 2025, we had used approximately $16.1 billion of the share repurchase authority to repurchase shares, leaving $1.9 billion of authority available for future repurchases.

Dividends

During the first quarter of 2025 we paid $182 million in cash dividends to holders of our common stock. Subsequent to the quarter, we paid an additional $182 million in cash dividends to holders of our common stock.

Adequate Internal Funding Resources

We believe that we have adequate internal resources available to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet our expected working capital, capital expenditure and cash requirements for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future, as supported by the level of cash and cash equivalents in the U.S., the ability to repatriate funds from foreign jurisdictions, cash provided by operations, as well as liquidity provided by our commercial paper program backed by the 2025 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement.

We do not anticipate a material decrease to net future cash flows generated from operations. We expect to use our available cash, investments, and debt facilities to support and invest in our business. This includes investing in our existing products and technologies, seeking new acquisition opportunities related to our strategic growth initiatives and returning cash to shareholders through common stock cash dividend payments (subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors) and share repurchases.

Long-Term Customer Financing Commitments

We had outstanding commitments to provide long-term financing to third parties totaling $150 million at March 29, 2025, compared to $105 million at December 31, 2024.
