- Second-quarter sales of $8.1 billion - Second-quarter results exceed expectations
SCHAUMBURG, Ill., July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today reported sales of $8.1 billion in the second quarter of 2008. GAAP net earnings from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2008 were $4 million, or $0.00 per share. This included net charges of $0.02 per share from highlighted items which are listed in the table at the end of the press release.
The Company had positive operating cash flow of $204 million and ended the quarter with a net cash* position of $3.6 billion and a total cash** position of $7.8 billion.
"Motorola's Home and Networks Mobility and Enterprise Mobility Solutions segments delivered strong results in the second quarter, driven by sales growth and operating margin expansion. These segments are well positioned to continue generating year-over-year sales and margin growth during the second half," said Greg Brown, Motorola president and chief executive officer. "In the Mobile Devices segment, we launched ten new products and maintained market share, compared with the first quarter, while continuing to invest in our product portfolio. We also made progress on our plans to separate Motorola into two independent, publicly traded companies, generated positive operating cash flow and reduced our cost structure."
Operating Results
Mobile Devices segment sales were $3.3 billion, down 22 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. The segment reported an operating loss of $346 million, compared to an operating loss of $332 million in the year-ago quarter.
 Mobile Devices highlights:

 *Shipped 28.1 million handsets, and maintained its share of the
  global handset market
 *Launched ten new products to key markets around the globe, which
  included new 3G devices and the ROKR E8 that strengthened our music
  franchise with its innovative, ModeShift(TM) morphing technology
 *Refreshed the highly successful MING series, which has already sold
  8 million handsets, by launching three touch screen handsets -- MING
  A1600 and MING A1800, as well as the MOTO A810
 *Continued market share leadership in North America, with strong
  performance from W755
 *Continued strength in Latin America, maintaining a leading market
  position due to the strong performance within our music portfolio
 *Earlier this week began shipping the MOTOZINE ZN5, a superior
  imaging experience developed collaboratively with Kodak, which
  enables consumers to easily shoot, edit and share their pictures

Home and Networks Mobility segment sales were $2.7 billion, up 7 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. Operating earnings were $245 million, which represents an increase of 28 percent as compared to operating earnings of $191 million in the year-ago quarter.
 Home and Networks Mobility highlights:

 *Operating margin expansion year-over-year from 7.4 percent of sales
  to 8.9 percent of sales
 *Record sales in Home, driven by shipments of 4.9 million digital
  entertainment devices, due to continued strong demand for HD, HD/DVR
  and IPTV devices
 *Consumer demand for HD content continued to drive the uptake of
  MPEG-4. This quarter we added DirectTV, HBO LatAM and Starz to the
  lineup of programmers and service providers transitioning from
  MPEG-2
 *DOCSIS(R) 3.0 momentum with certification for multiple Motorola
  cable modems, bronze qualification for the BSR 64000 cable modem
  termination system edge route, as well as customer deployment with
  J-Com in Japan
 *Momentum in WiMAX continued and Motorola now has 19 contracts for
  commercial WiMAX systems in 16 countries

Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment sales were $2.0 billion, up 6 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. Operating earnings increased to $377 million, which represents an increase of 24 percent as compared to operating earnings of $303 million in the year-ago quarter.

  rev A) and integrated GPS navigation

 *After the end of the quarter, signed a definitive agreement to
  acquire AirDefense, a leading wireless LAN security provider
