Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except as noted)
(Unaudited)
1.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of July 4, 2015 and for the three and six months ended July 4, 2015 and June 28, 2014, include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, statement of stockholders' equity, and statements of cash flows of Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“Motorola Solutions” or the “Company”) for all periods presented.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The results of operations for the three and six months ended July 4, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount it expects to receive for those goods and services. This ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and estimates and changes in those estimates. This ASU will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. This ASU allows for both retrospective and modified-retrospective methods of adoption. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption it will elect and is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Under this guidance, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are required to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of such debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this guidance. In adopting the ASU, the Company will be required to apply a full retrospective approach to all periods presented. This guidance will be effective January 1, 2016 and, upon adoption, debt issuance costs capitalized in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet will be reclassified and presented as a reduction to long-term debt. As of July 4, 2015, debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet were $18 million.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 340): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. Under this guidance, entities utilizing the FIFO or average cost method should measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, whereas net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU should be applied prospectively and will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

Discontinued Operations
On October 27, 2014, the Company completed the sale of its Enterprise business to Zebra Technologies Corporation for $3.45 billion in cash. Certain assets of the Enterprise business were excluded from the transaction and retained by the Company, including the Company’s iDEN business. The historical financial results of the Enterprise business, excluding those assets and liabilities retained in the transaction, are reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
The following table displays summarized activity in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations for discontinued operations during the three and six months ended July 4, 2015 and June 28, 2014:

In the computation of diluted earnings per common share from both continuing operations and on a net earnings basis for the three months ended July 4, 2015, the assumed exercise of 1.7 million options and the assumed vesting of 0.7 million RSUs were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the six months ended July 4, 2015, the assumed exercise of 3.9 million options and the assumed vesting of 1.2 million RSUs were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
For the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, the assumed exercise of 4.6 million and 4.8 million stock options, respectively, were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Stockholders’ Equity
Share Repurchase Program: Through actions taken on July 28, 2011, January 30, 2012, July 25, 2012, July 22, 2013, and November 3, 2014, the Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase an aggregate amount of up to $12.0 billion of its outstanding shares of common stock (the “share repurchase program”). The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date.
The Company paid an aggregate of $285 million during the three months ended July 4, 2015, including transaction costs, to repurchase approximately 4.6 million shares at an average price of $61.63 per share. The Company paid an aggregate of $938 million during the six months ended July 4, 2015, including transaction costs, to repurchase approximately 14.5 million shares at an average price of $64.69 per share. As of July 4, 2015, the Company had used approximately $8.7 billion of the share repurchase authority, including transaction costs, to repurchase shares leaving $3.3 billion of authority available for future repurchases.
On August 4, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to commence a modified "Dutch auction" tender offer to repurchase up to $2 billion of its outstanding shares of common stock. The repurchase of these shares is authorized under the existing share repurchase authority as outlined above and the purchase will be funded with a combination of cash on hand and a portion of the proceeds raised through the issuance of new convertible notes (see Note 4). The Company anticipates commencing the tender offer on or about August 7, 2015. The tender offer is expected to close on or about September 4, 2015. 
Payment of Dividends: During the three months ended July 4, 2015 and June 28, 2014, the Company paid $72 million and $79 million, respectively, in cash dividends to holders of its common stock. During the six months ended July 4, 2015 and June 28, 2014, the Company paid $148 million and $158 million, respectively, in cash dividends to holders of its common stock.

Debt and Credit Facilities
As of July 4, 2015, the Company had a $2.1 billion unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility, which includes a $450 million letter of credit sub-limit, (the “2014 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement”) scheduled to mature on May 29, 2019. The Company must comply with certain customary covenants, including maximum leverage ratio as defined in the 2014 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of July 4, 2015. The Company did not borrow or issue any letters of credit under the 2014 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement during the six months ended July 4, 2015.
On August 4, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Silver Lake Partners to issue $1 billion of 2% convertible notes which mature in September 2020. Interest on the notes will be payable semiannually. The notes are convertible anytime on or after two years from their issuance date, except in certain limited circumstances. The notes are convertible based on a conversion rate of 14.59854 per $1,000 principal amount (which is equal to an initial conversion price of $68.50 per share). The Company may, at its option, elect to settle the amount due upon conversion in cash, common stock, or a combination of cash and common stock. The Company expects to close this transaction on August 25, 2015.

Risk Management
Foreign Currency Risk
As of July 4, 2015, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $609 million, compared to $628 million outstanding at December 31, 2014. The Company does not believe these financial instruments should subject it to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions.
The following table shows the five largest net notional amounts of the positions to buy or sell foreign currency as of July 4, 2015, and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2014

Interest Rate Risk
As of July 4, 2015, the Company had $3.4 billion of long-term debt, including the current portion, which is primarily priced at long-term, fixed interest rates.
One of the Company’s European subsidiaries has Euro-denominated loans. The interest on the Euro-denominated loans is variable and the Company has an interest rate swap in place which is not designated as a hedge. As such, the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are included in Other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the interest rate swap was in a liability position of $2 million at July 4, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
Counterparty Risk
The use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties. However, the Company’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instruments when the derivative is in an asset position. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk. As of July 4, 2015, all of the counterparties have investment grade credit ratings. As of July 4, 2015, the Company had $3 million of exposure to aggregate net credit risk with all counterparties.

Income Taxes
At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of its annual effective income tax rate. Tax items included in the annual effective income tax rate are pro-rated for the full year and tax items discrete to a specific quarter are included in the effective income tax rate for that quarter. The estimate used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis may change in subsequent interim periods.

The Company recorded $64 million of net tax expense in the second quarter of 2015 resulting in an effective tax rate of 30%, compared to $20 million of net tax expense in the second quarter of 2014 resulting in an effective tax rate of 20%. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2015 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to the rate differential for foreign affiliates and the U.S domestic production tax deduction. 
The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2014 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% due to discrete tax benefits, primarily related to return-to-provision adjustments associated with our deferred tax liability for undistributed foreign earnings, the rate differential for foreign affiliates, and the U.S domestic production tax deduction.

The Company recorded $104 million of net income tax expense in the first half of 2015 resulting in an effective tax rate of 30%, compared to $23 million of net tax expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 12% in the first half of 2014. The effective tax rate for the first half of 2015 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to the rate differential for foreign affiliates and the U.S domestic production tax deduction.
The effective tax rate in the first half of 2014 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% due to a tax benefit associated with the net reduction in unrecognized tax benefits for facts that indicated the extent to which certain tax positions were more-likely-than-not of being sustained, discrete tax benefits primarily related to return-to-provision adjustments associated with our deferred tax liability for undistributed foreign earnings, the rate differential for foreign affiliates, and the U.S domestic production tax deduction.

Fair Value Measurements
The Company holds certain fixed income securities, equity securities and derivatives, which are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Fair value is measured using the fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies as defined in the authoritative literature. This guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to each measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumptions about current market conditions.
The fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies are as follows:
Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.
Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques, in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
The fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities by level in the fair value hierarchy as of July 4, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows:
