OTHER SELECTED FINANCIAL RESULTS

  • Revenue - Sales were $2.0 billion, up $132 million, or 7% from the year-ago quarter, driven by growth in the Americas. Revenue from acquisitions was $58 million, and currency headwinds were $21 million in the quarter. The Products and Systems Integration segment grew 5%, and the Services and Software segment grew 12%. Both segments were driven by growth in the Americas, partially offset by unfavorable currency rates.
  • Operating margin - GAAP operating margin was 20.7% of sales, up from 15.8% in the year-ago quarter. The improvement was primarily due to higher sales and gross margin in the current year, as well as costs related to an increase to an existing environmental reserve booked in the prior year, partially offset by higher operating expenses related to acquisitions. Non-GAAP operating margin was 25.5% of sales, up from 24.3% in the year-ago quarter due to higher sales and gross margin, partially offset by higher operating expenses related to acquisitions.
  • Taxes- The GAAP effective tax rate was 23%, compared with 8% in the year-ago quarter. The non-GAAP effective tax rate was 23% compared with 18% in the year-ago quarter. Both the GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates were higher in the current year due to the recognition of favorable return-to- provision adjustments in the prior year.
  • Cash flow - Operating cash flow was $525 million, compared with $338 million in the year-ago quarter. Free cash flow was $465 million, compared with $292 million in the year-ago quarter. Cash flow for the quarter increased year over year primarily due to improved working capital, a settlement payment in the prior year related to a legacy business, and higher earnings.
  • Capital allocation - During the quarter, the company paid $271 million in cash and equity to acquire WatchGuard Inc., paid $94 million in cash dividends, and incurred $60 million of capital expenditures. Additionally, we extended our strategic partnership with Silver Lake with a new $1 billion five-year convertible note. In exchange, we settled the outstanding $800 million note with 5.5 million shares and $1.1 billion in cash, of which $600 million was paid subsequent to quarter-end. The transaction resulted in an overall reduction to our diluted share count in the quarter. The company also paid off the $400 million term loan used to acquire Avigilon.
  • Backlog- The company ended the quarter with backlog of $11.0 billion, up $1.6 billion from the year-ago quarter. Services and Software backlog was up 26% or $1.6 billion due to growth in EMEA and the Americas. Products and Systems Integration segment backlog was down 1% or $39 million primarily due to two large system deployments in the Middle East and Africa in the prior year, partially offset by growth in the Americas.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

  • Fourth-quarter 2019 - Motorola Solutions expects revenue growth of 5% to 5.5% compared with the fourth quarter of 2018. The company expects non-GAAP earnings per share in the range of $2.75 to $2.80. This assumes current foreign exchange rates, approximately 176 million fully diluted shares and an effective tax rate of approximately 25%.
  • Full-year 2019 - The company now expects revenue growth of 7.25% to 7.5%. The company now expects non-GAAP earnings per share in the range of $7.77 to $7.82, up from the prior guidance of $7.67 to $7.77. This assumes current foreign exchange rates, approximately 176 million fully diluted shares and an effective tax rate of approximately 23.5%.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In addition to the GAAP results included in this presentation, Motorola Solutions also has included non-GAAP measurements of results. The company has provided these non-GAAP measurements to help investors better understand its core operating performance, enhance comparisons of core operating performance from period to period and allow better comparisons of operating performance to its competitors. Among other things, management uses these operating results, excluding the identified items, to evaluate performance of the businesses and to evaluate results relative to certain incentive compensation targets. Management uses operating results excluding these items because it believes this measurement enables it to make better period-to-period evaluations of the financial performance of core business operations. The non-GAAP measurements are intended only as a supplement to the comparable GAAP measurements and the company compensates for the limitations inherent in the use of non-GAAP measurements by using GAAP measures in conjunction with the non-GAAP measurements. As a result, investors should consider these non-GAAP measurements in addition to, and not in substitution for or as superior to, measurements of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Highlighted items: The company has excluded the effects of highlighted items including, but not limited to, acquisition-related transaction costs, tangible and intangible asset impairments, restructuring charges, certain non-cash pension adjustments, legal settlements and other contingencies, gains and losses on investments and businesses, and the income tax effects of significant tax matters, from its non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measurements because the company believes that these historical items do not reflect expected future operating earnings or expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the company's current operating performance or comparisons to the company's past operating performance. For the purposes of management's internal analysis over operating performance, the company uses financial statements that exclude highlighted items, as these charges do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the company's current operating performance or comparisons to the company's past operating performance.

Share-based compensation expense: The company has excluded share-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measurements. Although share-based compensation is a key incentive offered to the company’s employees and the company believes such compensation contributed to the revenue earned during the periods presented and also believes it will contribute to the generation of future period revenues, the company continues to evaluate its performance excluding share-based compensation expense primarily because it represents a significant non-cash expense. Share-based compensation expense will recur in future periods.

Intangible assets amortization expense: The company has excluded intangible assets amortization expense from its non-GAAP operating expenses and net earnings measurements, primarily because it represents a non-cash expense and because the company evaluates its performance excluding intangible assets amortization expense. Amortization of intangible assets is consistent in amount and frequency but is significantly affected by the timing and size of the company’s acquisitions. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to the company’s revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to the company’s future period revenues as well. Intangible assets amortization expense will recur in future periods.

Free cash flow: Free cash flow represents operating cash flow less capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is also useful to investors as the basis for comparing our performance and coverage ratios with other companies in our industries, although our measure of free cash flow may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Organic Revenue: Organic revenue reflects net sales calculated under GAAP excluding net sales from acquired business owned for less than four full quarters. The company believes non-GAAP organic revenue growth provides useful information for evaluating the periodic growth of the business on a consistent basis and provides for a meaningful period-to-period comparison and analysis of trends in the business.

Details of the above items and reconciliations of the non-GAAP measurements to the corresponding GAAP measurements can be found at the end of this press release.

The company has not quantitatively reconciled its guidance for non-GAAP metrics to their most comparable GAAP measure because the company does not provide specific guidance for the various reconciling items as certain items that impact these measures have not occurred, are out of the company’s control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial metric is not available without unreasonable effort. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact the company’s results.
