ITEM 1: BUSINESS
General
Motorola is a global leader in providing integrated communications solutions
and embedded electronic solutions. These include:
. Software-enhanced wireless telephone, two-way radio, messaging and
satellite communications products and systems, as well as networking and
Internet-access products, for consumers, network operators, and commercial,
government and industrial customers.
. Embedded semiconductor solutions for customers in the consumer, networking
and computing, transportation, and wireless communications markets.
. Embedded electronic systems for automotive, communications, imaging,
manufacturing systems, computer and consumer markets.
Motorola is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as
the successor to an Illinois corporation organized in 1928. Motorola's principal
executive offices are located at 1303 East Algonquin Road, Schaumburg, Illinois
60196 (telephone number: 847-576-5000).
Business Segments
CELLULAR PRODUCTS
The Cellular Subscriber Sector ("CSS") primarily designs, manufactures, sells
and services subscriber radio-telephone equipment for cellular, personal and
satellite communications networks. In addition, CSS resells cellular line
service in the United States and France. CSS's products include cellular and
satellite telephones and related accessories. Products are marketed worldwide
through carriers, distributors, dealers, retailers, and, in certain markets,
through a direct sales force or licensees.
The Cellular Infrastructure Group ("CIG") primarily designs, manufactures,
sells, installs, and services wireless infrastructure equipment. CIG's products
include electronic exchanges (i.e., telephone switches), base site controllers
and radio base stations for Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Personal
Communication Systems (PCS), Personal Digital Cellular (PDC), Global System for
Mobile Communications (GSM), wireless local loop and analog technologies.
Products are marketed worldwide through a direct sales force or licensees.
The Network Management Group holds and manages investments in wireless
operating systems in a number of international jurisdictions and in gateway
companies for the Iridium(R) satellite communications network.
Radio frequencies are required to provide cellular services. The allocation of
frequencies is regulated in the United States and other countries throughout the
world and limited spectrum space is allocated to wireless services. The growth
of the wireless and personal communications industry may be affected if adequate
frequencies are not allocated or, alternatively, if new technologies are not
developed to better utilize the frequencies currently allocated for such use.
Such occurrences might have an effect on the segment's results.
There are a few customers that, collectively, the loss of, or a significant
reduction in purchases by, could have a material adverse effect on the segment's
results.
CSS carries reasonable product inventories in distribution centers to meet
customer delivery requirements. As a general rule, CSS does not permit customers
to return merchandise and does not grant extended payment terms, although
exceptions may be made if necessary to meet unique market conditions.
1
For CIG, payment terms are particular to individual contracts, some of which
provide for the holdback of certain residual payments to Motorola until system
acceptance by the customer. In certain circumstances, CIG permits customer
returns in accordance with specific contract terms. Increasingly, as a result of
the financial demands of major network deployments, network operators are
requiring suppliers, like CIG, to provide or arrange for long-term financing in
connection with equipment purchases. Financing may cover all or a portion of the
purchase price, as well as working capital, and can be sizeable. CIG may also
assist customers in obtaining financing from banks or other sources. CIG expects
that the need to provide this financing or arrange financing for its customers
will continue, and could increase.
The wireless telephone market has experienced an ongoing technology shift from
analog products, where CSS has a higher relative market share, to digital
products, where CSS has a lower relative market share. As a result, during 1998
CSS experienced under-utilization of certain of its analog telephone production
facilities. CSS addressed these capacity issues by converting a significant
portion of its analog facilities to provide for the production of its expanding
portfolio of digital telephones. This conversion of manufacturing capacity from
analog to digital is expected to be completed during 1999.
The segment experiences intense competition in worldwide markets from numerous
competitors ranging in size from some of the world's largest companies to small,
specialized firms. In particular, the segment has experienced significant
competition in the market for digital products. Competitive factors in the
market for the segment's products include: technology offered; price; product
and system performance, features, quality, delivery, availability and warranty;
the quality and availability of service; company image; relationship with key
customers and time-to-market. As described above, an additional factor for CIG
is the availability of vendor financing, as customers continue to look to
equipment vendors as an additional source of financing.
The segment's backlog amounted to $2.23 billion at December 31, 1998 and $2.19
billion at December 31, 1997. For 1998 versus 1997, backlog was up significantly
for CSS and down for CIG. The 1998 order backlog is believed to be generally
firm and 100% of that amount is expected to be shipped in 1999. The forward-
looking estimates of the firmness of such orders is subject to future events
which may cause the percentage of the 1998 backlog actually shipped to change.
Materials used in the segment's operations are generally second-sourced to
ensure a continuity of supply. Occasional shortages in purchased components do
occur. Energy necessary for the segment's manufacturing facilities consists of
electricity, natural gas and gasoline, all of which are currently in generally
adequate supply. The segment's facilities are highly automated and, therefore,
require a reliable source of electrical power. Labor is generally available in
reasonable proximity to the segment's manufacturing facilities. Difficulties in
obtaining any of the aforementioned items could affect the segment's results.
Patent protection is extremely important to the segment's operations. The
segment has an extensive portfolio of patents relating to its products, systems,
technologies and manufacturing processes. Motorola is also licensed to use
certain patents owned by others. The protection of these licenses is also
important to the segment's operations. Reference is made to the material under
the heading "General" for information relating to patents and trademarks,
research and development activities and the seasonality and volatility of
business with respect to this segment.
CSS's headquarters are located in Libertyville, Illinois. CSS operates
manufacturing facilities in Libertyville and Harvard, Illinois; Easter Inch,
Scotland; Flensburg, Germany; Tianjin, China; Singapore; and Jaguariuna, Brazil
and has a manufacturing licensee in China.
CIG's headquarters are located in Arlington Heights, Illinois. CIG operates
manufacturing facilities in Arlington Heights and McHenry, Illinois; Fort Worth,
Texas; Jaguariuna, Brazil; Hangzhou, China; and Groundwell, England and has a
manufacturing licensee in China.
LAND MOBILE PRODUCTS
The Land Mobile Products Sector ("LMPS") primarily designs, manufactures,
sells, installs and services analog and digital two-way radio voice and data
products and systems for many different commercial, governmental and industrial
customers worldwide. LMPS products provide voice and data communications between
vehicles, persons and base stations. Also, LMPS provides network services for
two-way radio subscribers in international markets through joint ventures.
2
The principal customers for two-way radio products and systems include public
safety agencies, such as police, fire, highway maintenance departments and
forestry services; petroleum companies; gas, electric and water utilities;
telephone companies; diverse industrial companies; mining companies;
transportation companies such as railroads, airlines, taxicab operations and
trucking firms; institutions, such as schools and hospitals; and companies in
the construction, vending machine and service businesses. These products are
also sold and leased to various federal agencies for many uses. In addition,
there is a growing consumer two-way radio market using the products for personal
and family communication needs.
LMPS also manufactures and sells signaling and control systems and
communication control centers used in two-way radio operations. Additionally,
LMPS unveiled its M-Smart(TM) family of platforms for smart card products, which
allow organizations to quickly deploy and build value-added applications,
including cards, card operating systems, readers and application development
workbenches.
Sales of iDEN(R) equipment to Nextel Communications, Inc., an entity in which
Motorola holds a minority ownership position, represent a material part of the
business of LMPS. The impact of losing this customer could have a material
adverse effect on the performance of the segment. In addition, there are a few
customers that, collectively, the loss of, or a significant reduction in
purchases by, could have a material adverse effect on LMPS's results.
Users of two-way radios are regulated by a variety of governmental and other
regulatory agencies throughout the world. In the United States, users of two-way
radios are licensed by the Federal Communication Commission ("FCC") which has
broad authority to make rules and regulations and prescribe restrictions and
conditions to carry out the provisions of the Communications Act of 1934. The
FCC's authority includes, among other things, the power to classify radio
stations, prescribe the nature of the service to be rendered by each class of
station, assign frequencies to the various classes of stations and regulate the
kinds of equipment which may be used. Regulatory agencies in other countries
have similar types of authority. Consequently, the business and results of this
segment could be affected by the rules and regulations adopted by the FCC or
regulatory agencies in other countries from time to time. Motorola has developed
products using trunking and data communications technologies to enhance spectral
efficiencies. The growth and results of the two-way radio communications
industry may be affected, however, by the regulations of the FCC or other
regulatory agencies relating to the allocation of frequencies for land mobile
communications users, especially in urban areas where such frequencies are
heavily used.
The products manufactured and marketed by LMPS are sold directly through its
own distribution force, or through independent authorized distributors and
dealers, commercial mobile radio service operators, retailers and independent
commission sales representatives. The direct distribution force also provides
system engineering and installation and other technical services to meet the
customer's particular needs. The customer may choose to install and maintain the
equipment with its own employees, or may obtain installation, service and parts
from a network of Motorola authorized service stations (most of whom are also
authorized dealers) or from other non-Motorola service stations. Subscriber
units are sold directly and through indirect distribution channels.
Leasing and conditional sale arrangements are also made available to
customers. The majority of the leases and conditional sale contracts entered
into by LMPS are sold to several unaffiliated finance companies or banks on
terms, which, in most instances, provide recourse to Motorola with certain
limitations. In addition, a significant number of leases and conditional sale
contracts are sold to a Motorola finance subsidiary. In certain circumstances,
LMPS permits customers to return products in accordance with industry practices.
LMPS's business includes providing custom products based on assembling basic
units into a large variety of models or combinations. This requires the stocking
of inventories and large varieties of piece parts and replacement parts, as well
as a variety of basic level assemblies in order to meet short delivery
requirements.
This segment's backlog amounted to $1.49 billion at December 31, 1998 and
$1.37 billion at December 31, 1997. The 1998 backlog amount is believed to be
generally firm, and approximately 81% of that amount is expected to be shipped
during 1999. This forward-looking estimate of the firmness of such orders is
subject to future events, which may cause the percentage of the 1998 backlog
actually shipped to change.
This segment experiences widespread, intense competition from numerous
competitors ranging from some of the world's largest, diversified companies to
foreign state-owned telecommunications companies to many small, specialized
firms. In addition, LMPS faces competition from numerous companies whose
principal manufacturing operations are located outside the United States, which
may serve to reduce their manufacturing costs and enhance
3
their brand recognition in their locale. Competitive factors for LMPS include:
price; technology offered; product performance, quality, delivery and
availability; and the quality and availability of service and systems
engineering, with no one factor being dominant. An additional factor is the
availability of vendor financing, as infrastructure customers continue to look
to equipment vendors as an additional source of financing.
Availability of the materials and components required by LMPS is relatively
dependable and certain, but normal fluctuations in market demand and supply
could cause temporary, selective shortages and affect results. Direct sourcing
of materials and components from foreign suppliers is becoming more extensive.
LMPS operates certain offshore subassembly plants, the loss of one or more of
which could constrain its production capabilities and affect results. Natural
gas, electricity and, to a lesser extent, oil are the primary sources of energy.
Current supplies of these forms of energy are generally considered to be
adequate for this segment's U.S. and foreign operations. However, difficulties
in obtaining any of the aforementioned items could affect the segment's results.
Patent protection is very important to the segment's business. Reference is
made to the material under the heading "General" for information relating to
patents and trademarks, research and development activities and volatility with
respect to this segment.
This segment's headquarters are located in Schaumburg, Illinois, with major
manufacturing facilities in Schaumburg, Illinois; Plantation, Florida; Mount
Pleasant, Iowa; Swords, Ireland; Arad, Israel; Penang, Malaysia; Berlin,
Germany; and Tianjin, China.
MESSAGING, INFORMATION AND MEDIA PRODUCTS
Motorola's Messaging, Information and Media Sector ("MIMS") primarily designs,
manufactures, sells, installs and services paging subscriber, paging
infrastructure and related products, such as paging software and accessories.
MIMS also provides network services for paging and wireless data and gateway
communication subscribers through wholly-owned and operated businesses as well
as domestic and international joint ventures. It manufactures and sells modems,
analog and digital transmission devices and other data communication devices, as
well as wireline networking products like routers for carrying converged voice
and data traffic. In addition, MIMS manufactures equipment that enables voice
and high-speed data communications over cable networks and offers handwriting
and speech recognition software for various applications. MIMS sells equipment
and systems to consumers and business, institutional and governmental
organizations. A majority of MIMS manufacturing, distribution and sales occurs
outside of the United States.
Radio frequencies are required to provide paging and wireless data information
services. The allocation of frequencies is regulated in the United States and
other countries throughout the world, and limited spectrum space is allocated to
wireless services. The growth of the paging and wireless data information
industry and this segment's results could be affected if adequate frequencies
are not allocated for its use, or alternatively, if new technology is not
developed to increase capacity on presently allocated frequencies.
MIMS products are sold worldwide through both domestic and international sales
organizations, which sell through direct and indirect channels such as
distributors, retailers and value-added resellers. Consistent with general
practices in the industry, under certain limited circumstances, MIMS allows
customer returns. Payment terms are set based upon industry and regional
practices for each product channel and extended payment terms are granted in
some cases. MIMS carries reasonable product inventories to meet customer
delivery requirements.
There are a few customers that, collectively, the loss of, or a significant
reduction in purchases by, could have a material adverse effect on the segment's
results.
This segment experiences widespread, intense competition from numerous
competitors ranging from some of the world's largest, diversified companies to
foreign state-owned telecommunications companies to many small, specialized
firms. The principal manufacturing operations of many competitors are located
outside of the United States, which may serve to reduce their manufacturing
costs and enhance their brand recognition in their locale. The paging business
is experiencing increasing competition from low cost and prepaid digital
wireless telephone services around the world, as customers continue to look more
favorably at wireless phones as options for messaging needs. Competitive factors
for MIMS include: price; technology offered; product performance, features,
quality, availability and warranty; the quality and availability of service;
time-to-market; and company image. An additional factor for
4
the infrastructure business is the availability of vendor financing, as
customers continue to look to equipment vendors as an additional source of
financing.
The segment's backlog amounted to $410 million at December 31, 1998 and $428
million at December 31, 1997. The 1998 backlog is believed to be generally firm,
and approximately 100% of that amount is expected to be shipped during 1999.
This forward-looking estimate of the firmness of such orders is subject to
future events, which may cause the percentage of the 1998 backlog actually
shipped to change.
Materials and components required by this segment are relatively dependable
and certain, but normal fluctuations in market demand and supply could cause
temporary, selective shortages. Occasionally, shortages or extended delivery
periods have occurred in various component parts, the effects of which have
generally been industry-wide and short in duration. Natural gas, electricity and
oil are the primary sources of energy necessary for the segment's operations.
These types of energy are currently readily available, but difficulties in
obtaining any of the aforementioned items could affect the segment's results.
Patent protection is very important to the segment's business. Reference is
made to the material under the heading "General" for information relating to
patents and trademarks, research and development activities and seasonality of
business with respect to this segment.
This segment's headquarters are located in Schaumburg, Illinois, with
manufacturing facilities in; Boynton Beach, Florida; Mansfield, Massachusetts;
Ft. Worth, Texas; Tianjin, China; Bangalore, India; Dublin, Ireland; Chihuahua,
Mexico; and Singapore; additionally, software development and administration
offices are located in Palo Alto, California; Alpharetta, Georgia; Arlington
Heights, Illinois; Bothell, Washington; Mississuaga, Canada and Richmond,
Canada.
SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTS
Semiconductors control and amplify electrical signals and are used in a broad
range of electronic products, including consumer electronic products, computers,
communications equipment, solid-state ignition systems and other automotive
electronic products, major home appliances, industrial controls, robotics,
aircraft, space vehicles, calculators and automatic controls.
The Semiconductor Products Sector ("SPS") produces embedded processors. SPS
designs, produces and sells integrated semiconductor solutions for customers
serving the networking and computing, transportation and wireless communication
markets and for consumer applications in imaging and entertainment. SPS also
provides high-volume, standard discrete, analog and digital semiconductors used
in virtually every type of electronic equipment.
SPS sells its products worldwide to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs")
and a network of industrial distributors through its own sales force, agents and
distributors. Products manufactured by SPS are also supplied to other operating
units of Motorola. Other businesses of Motorola collectively constitute the
segment's largest customer and the volume of purchases by these businesses has
affected, and could continue to affect, SPS's results.
Customers are allowed to return merchandise for the longer of (i) the product
warranty period of the distributor or (ii) three years. The segment and its
results are affected by the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry.
Available capacity, cyclical customer demands, new product introductions and
aggressive pricing has and could continue to impact its business and results.
In 1998, the segment experienced under-utilization of certain of its
production facilities due to reduced market demand. The segment's capacity for
certain other products is being increased to meet current market demand. In
addition, the segment supplements its internal manufacturing capacity with joint
venture manufacturing facilities and purchases of products from outside vendors.
SPS has announced a goal to increase the use of foundry manufacturing for older
and specialized technologies.
The semiconductor industry is subject to rapid changes in technology, and
requires a high level of capital spending and an extensive research, development
and design program to maintain state-of-the-art technology. Accordingly, SPS
maintains an extensive research and development program in advanced
semiconductor technology and a significant portion of Motorola's capital
expenditures have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, for
semiconductor facilities.
5
The segment's backlog amounted to $1.66 billion at December 31, 1998 and $1.77
billion at December 31, 1997. Orders may be and are placed by customers for
delivery up to 12 months in the future but for purposes of calculating backlog
only the next 13 weeks requirements are reported. In the semiconductor industry,
backlog quantities and shipment schedules under outstanding purchase orders are
frequently revised to reflect changes in customer needs. Binding agreements
calling for the sale of specific quantities at specific prices are, typically,
contractually subject to price or quantity revisions and are, as a matter of
industry practice, rarely formally enforced. Therefore, the segment believes
that most of its order backlog is cancelable. For these reasons, the amount of
backlog as of any particular date may not be an accurate indicator of future
results.
SPS experiences intense competition from numerous competitors ranging from
large companies offering a full range of products to small companies
specializing in certain segments of the market. The competitive environment also
is changing as a result of increased alliances between competitors. The segment
competes in many semiconductor markets, including the telecommunications,
personal computer/work station, industrial, transportation, consumer, computer,
and distributor markets. Important factors in competition are: price; technology
offered; product features, quality, availability and warranty; the quality and
availability of service; time-to-market; and company image. The ability to
develop new products to meet customer requirements and to meet customer delivery
schedules also are competitive factors.
The segment is not currently experiencing any shortages in obtaining raw
materials. A significant portion of certain materials and parts used by SPS is
supplied from a single country. With respect to these and other materials, the
segment is constantly evaluating additional sources of supply to minimize the
risk of obtaining materials from only a few sources. Electricity, oil and
natural gas are used extensively in the segment's operations. All of these
energy sources are available in adequate quantities for current needs.
Electricity and oil are the primary energy sources for the segment's foreign
operations, and presently, there are no shortages of these sources although the
reliability of electrical power has been a problem from time to time at certain
facilities outside of the U.S. Difficulties in obtaining any of the
aforementioned items could affect SPS's results.
Patent protection is very important to SPS's operations. In addition, Motorola
is licensed to use certain patents owned by others. The protection of these
licenses is also important to SPS's operations. Reference is made to the
material under the heading "General" for information relating to patents and
trademarks, research and development activities and seasonality of business with
respect to this industry segment.
The Semiconductor Products segment's headquarters are in Austin, Texas. Its
major facilities are located in Austin, Texas; Chandler, Mesa, Phoenix and
Tempe, Arizona; Tianjin, China; Toulouse, France; Munich, Germany; Kwai Chung
and Tai Po, Hong Kong; Aizu, Sendai and Tokyo, Japan; Paju, South Korea; Geneva,
Switzerland; Tel Aviv, Israel; Kuala Lumpur and Seremban, Malaysia; Guadalajara,
Mexico; Carmona, the Philippines; Singapore; Chung-Li, Taiwan; and East Kilbride
and South Queensferry, Scotland. In February 1999, SPS announced its intention
to sell its Chung-Li, Taiwan and Paju, South Korea facilities, each of which
provide manufacturing and assembly and test capabilities for SPS. The sale of
these facilities is expected to close by the end of 1999, although there can be
no assurance that the pending transactions will be completed. In addition,
during 1998 SPS began converting a significant portion of its major
manufacturing facilities located at 52nd Street in Phoenix, Arizona from
manufacturing to non-manufacturing utilization. This conversion is expected to
be completed in 1999. SPS is consolidating its production network into fewer
integrated "anchor" sites for economics of scale and improved efficiency
OTHER PRODUCTS
Integrated Electronic Systems Sector
The Integrated Electronic Systems Sector ("IESS") (formerly the Automotive,
Component, Computer and Energy Sector) designs, manufactures and sells
automotive and industrial electronics products, energy storage products and
systems, electronic fluorescent ballasts and multi-function embedded board and
computer system products. The Sector serves a wide range of markets, including
automotive, lighting, telecommunications, manufacturing systems and imaging. In
1998, the Telematics Communications Group ("TCG") was formed to focus corporate-
wide efforts on the growing worldwide opportunity in the emerging automotive
communications industry. In addition, IESS oversees the research and development
efforts of the Flat Panel Display Division, which is developing the next
generation of flat panel displays.
6
The Automotive and Industrial Electronics Group ("AIEG") sells electronic
components, modules and systems to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"),
including foreign and domestic automobile manufacturers, heavy vehicle
manufacturers, farm equipment manufacturers and industrial customers. The
Motorola Computer Group ("MCG"), which became part of IESS in early 1998, sells
its products to OEMs and industrial distributors worldwide, some of whom produce
computer products that compete with MCG. The Energy Systems Group ("ESG") sells
primarily to the wireless communications industry and has also been expanding
into the portable computer market. A significant portion of ESG's sales are to
other industry segments within Motorola, primarily the cellular telephone and
paging business. A significant part of the Sector's business is dependent upon
the business of these other Motorola industry segments, collectively, and two
other external customers. The loss of any of these three customers could have a
material adverse effect on the business of IESS.
Demand for the products of AIEG and TCG is linked to automobile sales in the
United States and other countries. Demand for MCG's products is linked to
manufacturing systems, imaging, and telecommunications in the United States and
other countries. The Sector experiences competition from numerous global
competitors, including automobile manufacturer's internal control suppliers.
Competitive factors in the sale of IESS's products include price; product
quality, performance and delivery; supply integrity; quality reputation;
responsiveness; and design and manufacturing technology. An additional factor
for MCG's products is the availability of software. In certain circumstances,
IESS permits customers to return products in accordance with industry practices.
The Sector's backlog amounted to $315 million at December 31, 1998 and $309
million at December 31, 1997. The 1998 backlog for the Sector is believed to be
generally firm, and approximately 100% of that amount is expected to be shipped
during 1999. This forward-looking estimate of the firmness of such orders is
subject to future events that may cause the percentage of the 1998 backlog
actually shipped to change.
All materials used by IESS in its operations have good availability at this
time. The Sector uses electricity and gas in its operations, which are currently
adequate in supply. However, difficulties in obtaining any of the aforementioned
items could affect IESS's results.
Patent protection is important to the Sector's business and, in particular, is
very important to the business of the Flat Panel Display Division. Reference is
made to the material under the heading "General" for information relating to
patents and trademarks and research and development activities with respect to
this Sector.
The Sector's headquarters are located in Northbrook, Illinois. It also has
manufacturing operations located in Scottsdale and Tempe, Arizona; Atlanta,
Georgia; Harvard, Lake Zurich and Schaumburg, Illinois; Elma, New York;
Carlisle, Pennsylvania; Seguin, Texas; Tianjin, China; San Jose, Costa Rica;
Stotfold, England; Angers, France; Dublin, Ireland; and Penang, Malaysia. The
business has announced plans to close its component manufacturing facilities in
San Jose, Costa Rica and Carlisle, Pennsylvania during 1999.
SPACE AND SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY GROUP
The Space and Systems Technology Group ("SSTG") is engaged in the design,
production and integration of advanced electronic communication systems and
products for a variety of international and domestic commercial and government
users. The emphasis of SSTG is to be a premier systems developer and integrator.
SSTG provides electronic and communications equipment products that have various
applications based upon customer requirements of SSTG's business segments,
including government and satellite communications.
The satellite communications business, Satellite Communications Group ("SCG"),
markets, designs, builds, and operates and maintains space-based
telecommunications systems. On November 1, 1998, SCG successfully completed the
terms of the Space System Contract with Iridium Operating LLC, an entity in
whose parent company Motorola holds a minority ownership interest (together with
such parent company, referred to collectively as "Iridium"), to build and deploy
the Iridium(R) satellite communications network. On that same date, SCG began
fulfilling the terms of the five-year Operations and Maintenance Contract to
operate and continue to manufacture and deploy satellites for the maintenance of
the Iridium system. The Iridium system is designed to provide global digital
service to handheld telephones and related equipment.
Iridium is the first low-earth orbit, worldwide satellite-based communications
network in existence for general public use. A few similar systems are planned
by competitors. Currently, the primary competing systems are expected to be the
proposed Globalstar(TM) communications system and the proposed ICO(R)
communications system.
7
Competition for these systems is generally on the basis of first-to-market,
available geographical coverage, price and quality and reliability of service.
The contracts Motorola has executed with Iridium for the construction,
deployment, operation and maintenance of the global communications system
provide for payments to Motorola over a ten-year period, which began in 1993.
Motorola has in turn entered into significant subcontracts for portions of the
system, for which it will remain contractually and financially obligated even if
Iridium is unable to satisfy the terms of the contracts with Motorola. During
the last five years, these Iridium contracts have become a significant portion
of SSTG's business and revenue from the satellite-based business is expected to
remain a major contributor to SSTG's sales for the next several years. For a
more detailed discussion of Motorola's relationship with Iridium, see Note 8,
"Commitments and Contingencies," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in the appendix to Motorola's Proxy Statement for the 1999 annual
meeting of stockholders
SCG has been designated by Teledesic LLC, an entity in which Motorola has a
minority ownership interest, as the prime contractor for the Teledesic(R)
system. The Teledesic system is conceived as a global, broadband "Internet-in-
the-Sky" satellite communications system. The network is planned to provide high
speed data connections to businesses, institutions and individuals worldwide.
The system would be composed of a constellation of low-Earth-orbit satellites,
designed to provide affordable, worldwide, "fiber-like" access to
telecommunications services, including broadband Internet access, video
conferencing, high quality voice and other digital data needs, to fixed
locations.
SSTG's government business operations primarily perform research, development
and production work under contracts with governmental agencies, but also conduct
independent research and development programs. They produce diversified military
electronic equipment, including military communications equipment, data links,
display systems, missile guidance equipment, electronic ordnance devices and
drone electronic systems.
The government business operations have been predominantly dependent on the
U.S. Government as the main customer, acting as either a prime contractor or a
subcontractor to other prime contractors. The total loss of this business could
have a material adverse effect on SSTG. Contracts are secured from U.S.
Government agencies and their suppliers by negotiation and competitive bids. The
government acquisition environment is highly regulated and is increasingly more
competitive. Competition has increased substantially in all aspects of the
government business due to a reduction and slowdown in acquisition resulting
from a lower defense budget. Competitors include large and small technically
competent firms. Some competitors from whom the government business operations
procured subcontract work in the past are becoming more vertically integrated
and are performing the work previously subcontracted. The government business
operations expect to remain competitive based on price, technology offered,
quality of product performance and warranty. Additionally, the business is
beginning to leverage growth by applying its core technologies to commercial
opportunities.
Total sales for SSTG include sales made to a number of governments and
corporations. Products of SSTG are marketed by a few distributors, by
independent representatives and by SSTG's own sales force. SSTG customer
returns, when allowed, provide for only repair or replacement of products under
warranty. The U.S. Government requests warranty coverage for essential
performance requirements along with design and manufacturing requirements on
those systems used to carry out combat and support missions. SSTG does not carry
significant amounts of inventory to meet delivery requirements of customers
because it has not experienced serious source supply issues.
SSTG's backlog amounted to $1.05 billion at December 31, 1998 and $1.48
billion at December 31, 1997. The 1998 backlog is believed to be generally firm
and 91% of that amount is expected to be shipped during 1999. All contracts with
the U.S. Government are subject to cancellation at the convenience of the
Government, and the contracts with Iridium may be terminated by Iridium pursuant
to the terms set forth in the contracts. The forward-looking estimate of the
firmness of the 1998 backlog as discussed above is subject to future events,
which may cause the percentage of the 1998 backlog actually shipped to change.
Materials used by SSTG in its operations are generally available. Natural gas
and electricity are the principle types of energy used, and availability of both
to SSTG is currently adequate. Difficulties in obtaining any of the
aforementioned items could affect SSTG's results.
8
Patents continue to become more important to SSTG as competition increases in
a declining U.S. Government market and as SSTG expands commercial opportunities.
Reference is made to the material under the heading "General" for information
related to patents and trademarks and research and development activities with
respect to SSTG.
The Group has its headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona, with manufacturing
facilities in Scottsdale and Chandler, Arizona and an administrative office in
Tempe, Arizona.
CREATION OF THE COMMUNICATIONS ENTERPRISE
In July 1998, Motorola began realigning its communications-related businesses
into one organization called the Motorola Communications Enterprise. The new
structure is intended to enable integrated solutions and improved responsiveness
to the needs of distinct customer segments. Business segments in the Motorola
Communications Enterprise include cellular, space, land mobile, and messaging,
information and media, which together accounted for about three-fourths of
Motorola's $29.4 billion in sales in 1998. For this year-end reporting, Motorola
continues to use the previous segments because management continued to make
operating decisions and assess performance based on these segments. For a
description of Motorola's 1999 segment realignment, see the information included
under the "1999 Segment Realignment" section of "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in the
appendix to Motorola's Proxy Statement for the 1999 annual meeting of
stockholders.
Financial Information About Segments. The response to this section of Item 1
incorporates by reference Note 9, "Information by Segment and Geographic
Region," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the
appendix to Motorola's Proxy Statement for the 1999 annual meeting of
stockholders.
Customers. Motorola is not dependent for a material part of its overall
business upon a single or a very few customers. Approximately 2.5% of Motorola's
total sales and revenues in 1998 were received from various branches and
agencies, including the armed services, of the U.S. Government. All contracts
with the U.S. Government are subject to cancellation at the convenience of the
Government.
Government contractors, including Motorola, are routinely subjected to
numerous audits and investigations, which may be either civil or criminal in
nature. The consequences of these audits and investigations may include
administrative action to suspend business dealings with the contractor and to
exclude it from receiving new business. In addition, Motorola, like other
contractors, is internally reviewing aspects of its government contracting
operations, and, where appropriate, taking corrective actions and making
voluntary disclosures to the Government. These audits and investigations could
adversely affect Motorola and its results.
Backlog. Motorola's aggregate backlog position, including the backlog position
of subsidiaries through which some of its business units operate, as of the end
of the last two fiscal years, was approximately as follows:
December 31, 1998.............................. $7.16 billion
December 31, 1997.............................. $7.55 billion
Except as previously discussed in this Item 1(c), the orders supporting the
1998 backlog amounts shown in the foregoing table are believed to be generally
firm, and approximately 95% of orders on hand at December 31, 1998 are expected
to be shipped during 1999. However, this is a forward-looking estimate of the
amount expected to be shipped, and future events may cause the percentage
actually shipped to change.
Motorola uses the percentage-of-completion method to recognize revenues and
costs associated with most long-term contracts. For contracts involving certain
technologies, revenues and profits, or parts thereof, are deferred until
technological feasibility is established and customer acceptance is obtained.
For other product sales, revenue is recognized at the time of shipment, and
reserves are established for price protection and cooperative marketing programs
with distributors.
Research and Development. Motorola's business segments participate in very
competitive industries with constant changes in technology. Throughout its
history, Motorola has relied, and continues to rely, primarily on its research
and development programs for the development of new products and its production
engineering capabilities for the improvement of existing products. Technical
data and product application ideas are exchanged among Motorola's business
segments on a regular basis. Management believes, looking forward, that
Motorola's
9
commitment to research and development programs, both to improve existing
products and services and to develop new products and services, together with
its utilization of state-of-the-art technology, should allow each of its
segments to remain competitive.
Research and development expenditures relating to new product development or
product improvement, other than customer-sponsored contracts, were approximately
$2.89 billion in 1998, $2.75 billion in 1997 and $2.39 billion in 1996. In
addition, research funded under customer-sponsored contracts amounted to
approximately $433 million in 1998, $616 million in 1997 and $758 million in
1996.
Approximately 18,300 professional employees were engaged in such research
activities (including customer-sponsored contracts) during 1998.
Patents and Trademarks. As of December 31, 1998, Motorola owned approximately
10,307 utility and design patents in the United States and 10,882 patents in
foreign countries. These foreign patents are mostly counterparts of Motorola's
U.S. patents, but an increasing number result from research conducted outside
the United States and are originally filed in the country of origin. During
1998, Motorola was granted 1,596 U.S. utility and design patents. Many of the
patents owned by Motorola are used in its operations or licensed for use by
others, and Motorola is licensed to use certain patents owned by others. In some
instances, certain of the patents licensed by Motorola to others have generated
significant amounts of revenue to Motorola.
Motorola has obtained registration of the "MOTOROLA" and "M Symbol Logo"
trademarks throughout the world for many products and services. Worldwide
recognition of these marks has resulted in their categorization as "famous"
marks. These marks are considered to be valuable corporate assets. Certain other
trademarks and service marks of Motorola are registered in relevant markets.
Awareness of brand value and resulting brand development during 1998 resulted in
the introduction of two major new brands that span multiple product categories:
DIGITAL DNA and MOTOROLA WINGS. Worldwide registration of these new brands is
underway.
Environmental Quality. Motorola operations are from time to time the subjects
of investigations, conferences, discussions and negotiations with various
federal, state and local environmental agencies with respect to the discharge or
cleanup of hazardous waste and compliance by those operations with environmental
laws and regulations. The balance of the response to this section of Item 1
incorporates by reference the information contained under the caption
"Environmental and Legal" in Note 8, "Commitments and Contingencies," of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the appendix to
Motorola's Proxy Statement for the 1999 annual meeting of stockholders.
Miscellaneous. At December 31, 1998, there were approximately 133,000
employees of Motorola and its subsidiaries. The business of Motorola and its
industry segments has certain seasonal characteristics: the Semiconductor
Products segment has tended to have stronger, seasonally-adjusted sales in the
first half of the year; and sales of products, such as cellular telephones and
pagers, in consumer markets tend to increase in the fourth quarter. An increase
or decrease in large system orders in CIG, LMPS or SSTG could cause volatility
in orders, revenues and profits recognized in any particular period.

Motorola wishes to caution readers that in addition to the important factors
described elsewhere in this Form 10-K, the following important factors, among
others, sometimes have affected, and in the future could affect, Motorola's
actual results and could cause Motorola's actual consolidated results during
1999, and beyond, to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-
looking statements made by, or on behalf of, Motorola:
Changes in Laws Affecting Frequency
. The effects of, and changes in, laws and regulations and other activities
of governments, agencies and similar organizations, including, but not
limited to, those affecting frequency, use and availability of spectrum
authorizations and licensing.
Risks From Large Systems Contracts
. Risks related to the loss of material customers of one or more of
Motorola's businesses, including the unexpected loss of sales and market
perception, particularly because of the continuing trend towards
increasingly large system contracts for CIG, LMPS and SSTG infrastructure
equipment and the resulting reliance on large customers.
Demand for Customer Financing
. Increasing demand for customer financing of equipment sales, particularly
infrastructure equipment sold by CIG, LMPS, SSTG and the paging
infrastructure business, and the ability of these businesses to provide
financing on competitive terms with other companies.
Transition From Analog to Digital
. The ability of Motorola's cellular businesses to continue their transition
to digital technologies and successfully compete in those businesses and
retain or gain market share. Motorola faces intense competition in these
markets from established companies and new entrants. Product life cycles
can be short and new products are expensive to both develop and bring to
market.
Year 2000 Issues
. Motorola's ability to manufacture and deliver products and the level of
purchases made by customers may be affected by an unanticipated adverse
impact from Year 2000 issues, particularly the failure of products and
services from major suppliers to function properly in the Year 2000.
Euro Conversion
. Risks related to the introduction of the euro currency in Europe, including
the ability of Motorola to successfully compete in Europe.
Development of New Products
. The risks related to Motorola's significant investment in developing and
introducing new products such as digital cellular telephones, two-way and
voice paging, CDMA for cellular and PCS systems and third-generation
wireless, wireless local loop products, flat panel display products,
products for transmission of telephony and high-speed data over hybrid
fiber coaxial cable systems, integrated digital radios, and semiconductor
products. These risks include: difficulties and delays in the development,
production, testing and marketing of products; customer acceptance of
products, particularly as Motorola's focus on the consumer market
increases; the significant amount of resources Motorola must devote to the
development of new technology; and the ability of Motorola to differentiate
its products and compete with other companies in the same market.
11
Demand for Wireless Communications Equipment
. The need for continued significant demand for wireless communications
equipment, including equipment of the type Motorola manufactures or is
developing.
Ability to Compete in Semiconductor Market
. The ability of Motorola's semiconductor business to compete in the highly
competitive semiconductor market. Factors that could adversely affect
Motorola's ability to compete are production inefficiencies and higher
costs related to underutilized facilities, including both wholly-owned and
joint venture facilities; shortage of manufacturing capacity for some
products; competitive factors, such as rival chip architectures, mix of
products, acceptance of new products and price pressures; risk of inventory
obsolescence due to shifts in market demand; the continued growth of
embedded technologies and systems and Motorola's ability to compete in that
market; and the effect of orders from Motorola's equipment businesses .
Increased Use of Foundry Manufacturing Capacity
. The ability of Motorola's semiconductor business to increase its
utilization of foundry manufacturing capacity and the impact of such
efforts on capital expenditures, production costs and the ability to
satisfy delivery requirements.
Exit, Conversion, Sale or Closure of Existing Facilities
. Unexpected delays in the conversion of certain semiconductor manufacturing
facilities from manufacturing to non-manufacturing utilization and the
impact of such conversion on operating results, production costs and the
ability to satisfy delivery requirements.
. Unexpected changes in circumstances that delay or frustrate Motorola's
plans to sell or close certain operating facilities and the impact of such
sales or closures on operating results, production costs and the ability to
satisfy delivery requirements.
Risks Related to the Iridium(R) System
. Factors relating to the success of the Iridium project and its impact on
Motorola, including: the ability of Iridium LLC and its gateway operators
to market the Iridium service, to timely receive and, as appropriate,
operate and sell telecommunications equipment, including phones and pagers
made by Motorola, and to otherwise timely finance and operate a successful
telecommunications business and generate income; the ability of Iridium LLC
to meet its financing needs during at least the next few years to continue
to make contractual payments to Motorola and to make debt payments and
otherwise operate; the risks associated with the large Iridium system
operations and maintenance contract with Motorola and the financial risk to
Motorola under that contract, including the difficulty in projecting costs
associated with that contract and Motorola's obligations to subcontractors
related to that contract; the market acceptance (both on its own and when
compared to possible competitors) of what is expected to be the first
worldwide global satellite-based communication service and of the related
equipment; and the significant technological and other risks associated
with the development and commercial operation of the project, including any
software and support systems-related risks.
Outcome of Litigation
. The outcome of pending and future litigation and the protection and
validity of patents and other intellectual property rights. Patent and
other intellectual property rights of Motorola are important competitive
tools and many generate income under license agreements. There can be
assurances that these rights will not be challenged, invalidated or
circumvented in one or more countries.
Additional Risk Factors Included In Proxy Statement
Certain portions of Motorola's Proxy Statement for the 1999 annual meeting of
stockholders with Management's Discussion and Analysis and Consolidated
Financial Statements are incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K. There
are additional important factors included therein, including those on pages F-15
through F-18 of the appendix to Motorola's Proxy Statement for the 1999 annual
meeting of stockholders, that sometimes have affected, and in the future could
affect, Motorola's actual results and could cause Motorola's actual consolidated
12
results during 1999, and beyond, to differ materially from those expressed in
any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, Motorola.
Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales.
Domestic export sales to third parties were $3.06 billion in 1998, $3.98
billion in 1997 and $3.74 billion in 1996. Domestic export sales to affiliates
were $4.96 billion in 1998, $6.86 billion in 1997 and $6.31 billion in 1996.

ITEM 2: PROPERTIES
Motorola's principal executive offices are located at 1303 East Algonquin
Road, Schaumburg, Illinois 60196. Its other major facilities in the United
States are located in Arlington Heights, Harvard, Lake Zurich, Libertyville,
Northbrook and Schaumburg, Illinois; Elma, New York; Phoenix, Chandler,
Scottsdale, Mesa and Tempe, Arizona; Boynton Beach and Plantation, Florida;
Lawrenceville, Georgia; Austin, Ft. Worth and Seguin, Texas; Mount Pleasant,
Iowa; Mansfield, Massachusetts; and San Jose, California. Motorola also
operates manufacturing facilities or sales offices in 42 other countries. (See
Item 1 for information regarding the location of the principal manufacturing
facilities for each industry segment.) Motorola owns 130 facilities
(manufacturing, sales, service and office), 75 of which are located in North
America and 55 of which are located in other countries. Motorola leases 594
such facilities, 303 of which are located in North America and 291 of which are
located in other countries.
Motorola generally considers the productive capacity of the plants operated by
each of its industry segments adequate and suitable for the requirements of each
business group. New semiconductor product manufacturing facilities are under
construction in Xi-Qing, China and an expansion of the semiconductor product
manufacturing facility in Chandler, Arizona is currently underway. A new
manufacturing facility that is expected to be shared by a number of Motorola
business units within the Communications Enterprise is being constructed in
Jaguariuna, Brazil. This new facility is expected to be fully operational in
early 1999.
As part of Motorola's overall strategy to reduce operating costs and improve
the financial performance of the corporation, a number of non-profitable
businesses and facilities were either sold during 1998 or are currently up for
sale. Major facilities that ceased operations during 1998 that are currently up
for sale are located in Huntsville, Alabama; Irvine, California; and Research
Triangle Park, North Carolina. Motorola is also in the process of selling two
start-up facilities in Jaguariuna, Brazil. In addition, Motorola has announced
its intention to sell or shut down currently operating major facilities located
in San Jose, Costa Rica; Carlisle, Pennsylvania; Paju, South Korea; and Chung-
Li, Taiwan.
The extent of utilization of manufacturing facilities varies from plant to
plant and from time to time during the year.
ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Motorola is currently a named defendant in seven cases arising out of alleged
groundwater, soil and air pollution in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona.
McIntire et al. v. Motorola remains pending in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Arizona, while Baker et al. v. Motorola et al., Lofgren et al. v.
Motorola et al., Bentancourt et al. v. Motorola et al., Ford et al. v. Motorola
et al., Wilkins et al. v. Motorola et al and Dawson et al. v. Motorola, et al.
are pending in the Arizona Superior Court, Maricopa County. The McIntire
lawsuit, filed on December 20, 1991, involves approximately 920 plaintiffs who
allege that the operations of Motorola at several facilities in Phoenix and
Scottsdale, Arizona have caused property damage and health problems by
contaminating the soil, groundwater and
13
air in the area surrounding those facilities. The Baker lawsuit, filed on
February 11, 1992, is a class action, involving six representative individual
named plaintiffs, alleging that Motorola and 27 other defendants contaminated
the soil, air and groundwater in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, diminishing
property values and exposing members of the class to possible adverse health
effects. On August 24, 1994, the Baker court certified two classes, a property
damage class consisting of all persons who since 1987 were residents, property
owners or lessees of property which overlies, or is adjacent to, the alleged
groundwater pollution, and a medical monitoring class consisting of all persons
who resided in Phoenix and/or Scottsdale for more than one year continuously
during the years between 1955 and 1989, and who received potable drinking water
containing trichloroethylene at a level equal to or exceeding 2.0 parts per
billion, on average. The Lofgren, Bentancourt, Ford, Wilkins and Dawson
lawsuits, filed on April 6, 1993, July 16, 1993, June 10, 1994, July 19, 1995
and August 7, 1997, respectively, have been consolidated. The consolidated cases
involve more than 200 plaintiffs, alleging that Motorola and about 25 other
defendants contaminated the soil, air and groundwater in the Phoenix/Scottsdale
area, causing health problems. On June 1, 1998, the Lofgren court ruled
inadmissible proffered testimony from each of the plaintiffs' medical causation
experts and granted summary judgment on those personal injury claims in favor of
Motorola and the other remaining defendants. An appeal is expected.
All seven pending lawsuits described above seek compensatory and punitive
damages. The McIntire complaint includes personal injury and property damage
claims and seeks injunctive relief. The Baker complaint seeks damages for
medical monitoring and alleges claims for property, business and economic loss
and seeks declaratory and injunctive relief. The consolidated Lofgren cases
involve claims for personal injury.
A class action, In Re Nextel Communications Securities Litigation, against
Nextel Communications, Inc., certain of its officers and directors and Motorola
for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5, is pending in the United States District Court
for the District of New Jersey. The pending complaint, a consolidation of cases
previously filed against Nextel, was filed on July 11, 1995 and maintains that
the defendants artificially inflated the price of Nextel common stock through a
series of alleged misrepresentations and omissions. Plaintiffs propose a class
period of July 22, 1993 through January 10, 1995 and seek an unspecified amount
of monetary damages.
Motorola and several of its directors and officers are named defendants in a
consolidated class action for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5, Kaufman, et. al. v Motorola,
Inc., et. al., which was filed on May 19, 1995 and is pending in the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Plaintiffs claim that
Motorola and the individual defendants inflated the price of Motorola stock by
failing to timely disclose a buildup of cellular phone inventory with its
distributors. The district court has certified a class consisting of purchasers
of Motorola common stock during the period of November 4, 1994 through February
17, 1995. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages.
Motorola has been a defendant in several cases arising out of its manufacture
and sale of portable cellular telephones. Schiffner v. Motorola, Inc., filed on
March 3, 1995 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, is a purported
class action by purchasers of portable cellular phones alleging economic losses.
In January 1999, having exhausted all other appeals, plaintiffs filed a petition
for writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court to review the June
1997 Illinois State Court decision to dismiss the case, with prejudice. Jerald
P. Busse, et al. v. Motorola, Inc. et al., filed on October 26, 1995 in the
Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, is a purported class
action alleging that defendants have failed to adequately warn consumers of the
alleged dangers of cellular telephones and challenging ongoing safety studies as
invasions of privacy. All claims have been dismissed on defendants' motion.
Plaintiffs may appeal. Kane, et al., v. Motorola, Inc., et al., filed on
December 13, 1993 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, alleges that
plaintiffs' brain cancer was caused by or aggravated by a prototype
communication device.
On October 16, 1998, the plaintiffs in Pennsylvania Bancshares, Inc. et al. v.
Motorola, Inc., et al., a purported class action filed on October 10, 1995 in
the Court of Common Pleas, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, filed a notice of
voluntary dismissal with prejudice as to all claims for monetary relief and
without prejudice as to all claims for equitable relief. Plaintiffs alleged
that Motorola systematically engages in deceptive trade practices, including
without limitation, intentionally misrepresenting the quality of certain types
of cellular telephones. The dismissal is currently before the court for
decision. Silber, et al. v. Motorola, Inc., et al., filed on August 1, 1995 in
the Supreme Court of The State of New York, County of Suffolk, which was
transferred from the County of New York, is an action wherein it is alleged that
a traffic accident was caused by the use of a cellular phone.

The information contained under the caption "Environmental and Legal" in Note
8, "Commitments and Contingencies," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements contained in the appendix to Motorola's Proxy Statement for the 1999
annual meeting of stockholders is incorporated herein by reference.
Motorola is a defendant in various other suits, claims and investigations
which arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the
ultimate disposition of these matters, including those matters described above
in this Item 3, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial position, liquidity or results of operations of Motorola.
ITEM 4: SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
Not applicable.
