Investment Thesis

We are initiating coverage of Motorola Inc. with a Neutral rating, although our biasis toward the upside. We believe the opportunity to significantly expand margins and

de-lever the balance sheet, coupled with our better outlook for the second half of the

year, outweigh the currently low margins, new competitive pressures, and

management’s recently disappointing track record in meeting Street expectations.

The good news is that Motorola is still the number-two provider of cellular handsets

globally and the number one in North America and China, with global market share

of 16-18% depending on the quarter. While six new handset model launches in the

first half of the year were far fewer than expected, the company has prepared 30 new

models for the second half, including 17 in China and Asia, which we believe should

help drive top-line and margin expansion in both the PCS and SPS divisions. The bad

news is that Motorola is still trying to crack the code on margins, which remain

stubbornly below industry peers. For example, PCS operating income margin in 1Q

as 4.4%, down from 8.9% in 4Q, versus 22-24% for peers Nokia and Samsung.

Margins for Motorola’s SPS business were negative in 1Q versus 7% for peers Texas

Instruments and STMicroelectronics.

Key Investment Points

Strong Free Cash Flow Should Improve Net Debt Over Next Five Years

We are modeling MOT to generate between $1.5-2.1 billion in operating free cash

flow per year for the next five years. This should raise cash on the balance sheet from

$5.9 billion at the end of 2003 to $8.4 billion by 2008, as debt falls as maturities

come due, from $8.3 billion in 2003 to $3.9 billion in 2008. This translates into a

swing of more than $6.9 billion in net debt over the next five years, worth $3 per 

share in value and savings of more than $280 million in annualized interest expense.

We note that this level of free cash flow represents only 5-6% of revenue in themid-term years of our model, well below Cisco’s 20-22% free cash flow margin and

even below Nortel’s 8-10%.

New Handsets in 2H03 and European Share Gain Should Drive PCS Growth

While the first half of the year was largely a disappointment for the PCS handset

division, Motorola is introducing 30 new models in the second half of the year and is

 pushing a new strategy in Europe to customize and co-brand its handsets with the

major European wireless carriers. Motorola has already announced new handsets

designed specifically for Orange and we expect similar announcements with other 

carriers should drive its market share in Europe from approximately 9% in 2003 to

12% in 2004. Together, we expect these events to drive 6% top-line growth in PCS

in 2004, up from a 5% decline in 2003. We also expect a second half resolution of 

the excess inventory and SARS issues in China to help boost the top line. 

SPS Should Turn Profitable in 2004 for First Time in Three Years

Over the last two years, Motorola has aggressively cut costs, shrinking its fab

capacity from 27 facilities down to eight, and is sitting just below the breakeven

 point for the first time since 2000. The company’s existing fab capacity can still

handle 30% more revenue than it is currently generating and the operating leverage

on new business is substantial, as approximately 65 cents of every dollar of 

incremental revenue falls directly to the bottom line. We estimate that operating

margins finally turn positive to 2% in 2004 up from a decline of 4% in 2003, and

gradually increase to 11% by 2008.

Ehud A. Gelblum(1-212) [email protected]

North American Equity ResearchNew York10 July 2003 

From a top-line perspective, nearly 50% of the semis business is directly related to

the macroeconomic environment through autos and standard products, while another 

27% comes from the wireless industry making any recovery in the U.S. economy.

Any success MOT generates in the PCS division automatically drives both top-linegrowth and margin expansion at SPS. On the cost side, recent conversations with

management have convinced us that it has its finger very close to the cost-cutting

 button and would not wait long to reduce capacity and costs further if revenue

growth does not return quickly.

Valuation and Rating Analysis

We view MOT as a margin expansion story with a stabilizing balance sheet. In short,

we believe the company sits between a business model with powerful operating

leverage and a record of weak execution on the top line, hence our Neutral rating. At

the current stock price of $10.25, Motorola trades at a revenue multiple of 1.0x and

an EBITDA multiple of 8.3x on our 2004 estimate of $3.1 billion, well below peers

such as Nokia (2.2x and 9.9x, respectively); Qualcomm (7.4x and 16.0x,

respectively); Nortel (1.3x and 11.2x respectively); and Lucent (1.0x and 13.7x,respectively). On an earnings basis, Motorola trades closer to peers with a 2004E P/E

of 24.5 versus Nokia at 18.4, Qualcomm at 22.2, and Nortel at 26.3. Given our 

concerns, we do not believe MOT will completely close the discount gap over the

next two quarters, although we can see it trading slightly closer to peer valuations.

If Motorola were to show evidence of greater traction with European carriers or 

expanding margins that are closer to its peer group, we would consider upgrading our 

rating. Conversely, if the company repeatedly missed its operating targets, we would

downgrade our rating accordingly.

Risks to Our Rating

New Entrants Threaten Handset Market Share

Local Chinese vendors such as TCL, Bird, and Haier are changing the competitivedynamic in the Chinese handset market, a place where MOT has dominated for years

and one that still provides 20-25% of PCS revenue. In addition, Nokia has re-entered

the CDMA market in the U.S. and is attacking China as well, while Korean players

Samsung and LG are gaining increasing traction in North America.

Highly Back-End-Loaded Earnings

Over the past two years, the linearity of Motorola’s earnings have become

increasingly more back-end-loaded, as the company earns over 80% of its annual

EPS in the second half of the year, a worrisome trend. This back-end-weighted trend

 began in 2001 and has progressively become more pronounced in the two years

since. On a related note, Motorola has either missed or reduced consensus estimates

in both of the last two quarters, casting doubt on the company’s ability to accurately

forecast its own earnings potential.

Handset Channel Inventory Still High

Handset inventory levels in Asia, especially China, climbed to unusually high levels

in the first half of the year as local manufacturers flooded the market. While

Motorola’s inventory level remained roughly in line at seven weeks, total inventory

in the channel hit 11-12 weeks in Asia overall, and China was higher compared to a

normal range of 6-8 weeks. These levels have pressured average selling prices

(ASPs) across China and Asia and were a root cause of the company’s recent

guidance reduction on June 10.

Company Description

Motorola Inc. is a leading global provider of integrated communications and

embedded electronic equipment. Founded in 1928, the company originally focusedon consumer radio communications. Over the years, Motorola has diversified both its

 product and customer base and is a top player in every market in which it

 participates. The company breaks down its operations into six segments: personal

communications (PCS), 38% of revenue and 52% of operating income;

semiconductor products (SPS), 17% of revenue and negative operating income;

global telecom solutions (GTSS), 16% of revenue and negative operating income;

commercial, government, and industrial solutions (CGISS), 13% of revenue and 24%

of operating income; broadband communications (BCS), 7% of revenue and 17% of 

operating income; and integrated electronics systems (IESS), 8% of revenue and 7%

of operating income. Motorola serves a broad group of customers including

consumers, telecommunications carriers, enterprises, and government agencies.

Motorola’s Product Portfolio

Personal Communications Segment (PCS)

The PCS, or wireless handset, division makes and sells handsets globally in the

CDMA, TDMA, GSM, and iDEN formats. The phones are primarily sold through

wireless service providers, but are also sold through distributors, dealers, retailers,

and licensees. PCS’s largest single customer is Nextel, whose iDEN phones

accounted for roughly 12% of Motorola’s shipped handsets in 2002, and an even

larger proportion of total sales and operating profit given the higher than average

selling price of an iDEN handset (we estimate $175 versus the Motorola average of 

$147 last quarter).

Strong Presence in North America and China

In the recent past, approximately 20% of MOT’s handset sales were into the Chinese

market for use primarily on China Mobile’s and China Unicom’s networks. Motorola

is currently the largest handset player in China and the U.S., and is second globally

only to Nokia due to Motorola’s relatively low 9% share in Western Europe (Nokia’s

share in Western Europe is approximately 50%). Motorola’s other top customers are

Verizon Wireless, AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile USA, ALLTEL, and Telcel Mexico.

Interestingly, although Verizon Wireless is a very substantial purchaser of Motorola

CDMA phones, Sprint PCS, the other major nationwide CDMA provider in the U.S.,

is not. We currently have no evidence to suggest that Motorola is gaining traction at

Sprint and we are not factoring any assumptions into our model. Any announcement

on that front would likely represent upside to our numbers.

PCS Gained Market Share in 2002

Motorola’s cumulative market share totals showed continued improvement over the

last three quarters of 2002, with the greatest surge in North America, where we

estimate Motorola’s share climbed from 29% in June 2002 to nearly 36% in

December 2002, led by the popularity of both Motorola’s CDMA and TDMA

 products. The major exception was Asia, where we estimate Motorola’s share slipped

over the same period from 17% in June 2002 to 13% in December 2002, showing

signs that competition from domestic vendors is eroding the company’s share

 position.

Ehud A. Gelblum(1-212) [email protected]

North American Equity ResearchNew York10 July 2003 

Momentum Stalled in 2003

First quarter 2003 results showed further weakness in Asia as we estimate

Motorola’s Asia market share dropped another 300 bps to 10%. And on June 9,

Motorola lowered its 2Q03 guidance, citing difficulty in Asia due primarily to excessinventory issues, especially in China. However, comments from Motorola on its

investor conference call indicated that competitors are mainly taking share from the

lower-ASP end of the market, and that the inventory correction is industry-wide, not

company specific.

Semiconductor Products Segment (SPS)

Motorola’s semiconductor division, SPS, sell chips into four main markets— 

Wireless Handsets, Network Infrastructure, Automotive, and Standard Products

(basically a catch-all category).

SPS Driven by Internal and Direct Sales

As one would expect, Motorola itself is the SPS group’s largest customer, accountingfor 24% of revenue in 2002 (up from 22% in 2001). Sales are made both through a

direct sales force (approximately 80%) and through an indirect channel of 

distributors (20%). The direct/indirect breakdown corresponds to the end customer,

with Motorola selling its wireless, networking , and automotive products directly,

while using channel partners for distribution of most of the standard products. Top

end customers include Solectron, Delphi, Visteon, Siemens, Qualcomm, Bosch, and

Hewlett-Packard. Avnet, Arrow, and Future collectively account for 50% of all

distributor sales.

Lowering SPS Fixed Costs

Over the last 12 to 15 months, MOT has shifted to an asset-light, lower cost

operating model that includes outsourcing 27% of its fab and assembly requirements

and partnering on next-generation production facilities such as the company’s 90 nmCMOS production facility that it is co-developing in conjunction with ST Micro and

Philips. Motorola plans to outsource 45-50% of its fab requirements by 2006,

contingent on market growth. Despite the breadth of product line, the key driver of 

SPS growth over the next three to five quarters will most likely be the take-up rate of 

the wireless i.250 chipset both internally and outside the company.

Wireless Handsets

Motorola’s wireless handset division made up 27% of total 2002 SPS revenues, or 

$1.35 billion, down from 24% and $1.38 billion in 2001, and makes chips for 

TDMA, GSM, GPRS, CDMA, and 3G/WCDMA phones. Motorola’s own PCS

handset division is not bound to use these chips for its phones, but still accounts for 

60-80% of the wireless business at SPS; external customers such as BenQ, TCL,

Siemens, and Alcotech account for the other 20-40%. Interestingly, Motorola haschosen to use QCOM chips for its CDMA2000 1X phones rather than develop its

own 1X chipset, but it did develop its own 3G/WCMDA chipset, which it is also

selling to Siemens.

Network Infrastructure

 Networking and computing chips made up 25% of total 2002 SPS revenues, or 

$1.25 billion, down from 28% and $1.43 billion in 2001 and 40% of total SPS

revenues at the peak. Chips fall mainly into two broad categories—those that go into

wireless infrastructure such as base stations and those that go into data networking

equipment such as IP routers and ATM or Ethernet switches. SPS revenues are split

6

 between wireless (approximately 35%) and data networking (65%), with the total

addressable global market for both categories on the order of $24 billion, according

to Gartner.

Automotive

Motorola’s automotive division made up 29% of total 2002 SPS revenues, or 

$1.45 billion, down from 29% and $1.48 billion in 2001, and ships products like

engine management, navigation, and climate control systems to most of the major 

U.S. and European auto manufacturers. MOT is by far the largest player in this

market with an approximately a 14-15% share of the roughly $10 billion global

market—nearly three times the next largest player—although nearly all of MOT’s

 business is in North America and Europe. The company has been making some

 progress of late in China but has almost no presence in Japan and the rest of Asia.

We estimate that approximately 40-50% of all cars globally contain Motorola engine

management systems. Due to the increasing number of uses for semis in autos and

the generally rising trend of new car sales, we expect the total automotive chip

market to grow at a 14% CAGR through 2006. Primary competitors in this divisioninclude Hitachi.

Standard Products

The Standard Products division, which is essentially a miscellaneous catch-all group,

makes chips that go into everything from refrigerators, electronic games, toys, and

musical instruments to industrial sensors and elevator control systems. These

 products made up 19% of total 2002 SPS revenues or $950 million, down from 19%

and $970 billion in 2001, and should generally grow slightly faster than GDP as

chips in general find their way into more everyday products. MOT has thoroughly

revamped its product portfolio in the Standards Products group, introducing 160 new

 products in 2003, up dramatically from 2002. MOT also launched its new HC08

family of super-low-cost, sub-$1 LVLP (Low Voltage, Low Power) microprocessors

in October that it hopes will help utilize micro-controller technology in more

everyday items. The new HC08 processors are used in everyday products such as TV

remote controls and home smoke detectors.

Global Telecom Solutions Segment (GTSS)

GTSS sells wireless infrastructure equipment such as base stations, base site

controllers, radio transmitters, and other associated equipment for all three major 

wireless standards—TDMA, GS, and CDMA—as well as for the Nextel iDEN

standard. The division made up 17% of total company revenue in 2002, or $4.6

 billion, falling slightly to 15.8% of total revenues in 1Q. Motorola also resells

third-party switches for its wireless systems primarily from Siemens and Nortel. We

 believe Motorola has tried to sell its GTSS division in the past and would most likely

still entertain a reasonable offer, as the dynamics of the infrastructure business are far different than that of the wireless handset division that drives most of Motorola’s

 profitability.

GTSS Revenue Dependent on New Network Rollouts

The primary drivers of wireless infrastructure spend has been new CDMA system

 builds in Asia (both CDMA and GSM in India and China) and Latin America; the

2.5G GPRS/EDGE builds for the GSM providers, mainly in Europe; and eventually

the 3G/WCDMA overbuilds. Due to Motorola’s significant overall presence in

China, the company received the largest contract from China Unicom for its $1.2

 billion phase II CDMA 1X system build, a large portion of which was received in

North American Equity ResearchNew York10 July 2003 

1Q, helping push GTSS operating profit into the black. ALLTEL is also a major 

GTSS customer.

Commercial, Government and Industrial Solutions Segment(CGISS)

CGISS essentially sells professional-grade walkie-talkie systems to a wide variety of 

industrial users, including police and fire departments, utilities, the energy,

transportation and public safety industries, governments, and other similar 

customers. The division made up 14% of total company revenue in 2002, or 

$3.7 billion, remaining at 14% of total revenues in 1Q.

The Walkie-Talkie Leader

Motorola is by far the market share leader in two-way radio systems, with an

approximate 55% share of the roughly $7 billion market, more than two times that of 

the next largest competitor. The heightened need for safety and security solutions

over the last two years has created new opportunities for CGISS. However, delays inHomeland Security funding have pushed out spending on statewide and nationwide

“mega systems” for security agencies.

Broadband Communications Segment (BCS)

BCS sells broadband video and data equipment for the cable television industry on

the network side as well as the consumer CPE box side. The division made up 8% of 

total company revenue in 2002, or $2.1 billion, falling to 8% of total revenues in 1Q.

Number One in Cable Equipment

Products include set-top boxes for standard and digital cable television, cable

modems, cable modem termination systems (CMTS), IP telephony products, hybrid

fiber coaxial network transmission systems, digital satellite television systems,direct-to-home (DTH) satellite networks, private networks for business

communications, and digital broadcast products. Motorola is the number-one player 

in the North American market for both networks and digital set-top boxes. Scientific

Atlanta is the next largest supplier and Motorola’s biggest competitor.

Integrated Electronic Systems Segment (IESS)

IESS is a hodge-podge division of random electronic products divided into three

 broad categories: automotive communications and electronic systems (ACES),

energy systems group (ESG), and the Motorola Computer Group (MCG). The

division in total made up 8% of total company revenue in 2002, or $2.2 billion, and

grew to 9% of total revenues in 1Q.

ACES, in turn, consists of two businesses, powertrain chassis and systems group

(PCSG) and telematics communications group (TCG). PCSG designs and sells

custom electronic solutions to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) including

foreign and domestic automobile, and heavy and farm vehicle manufacturers. TCG

 provides embedded telematics control units, integrated wireless handsets, and

navigation and driver safety products. ESG provides portable energy systems for 

wireless handsets, notebook computers, and other portable electronic products. MCG

 provides embedded computing technology used in a variety of products, including

telecommunications infrastructure, CAT scanners and MRI equipment, flight

simulators, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

Motorola Earnings Outlook

RevenueForecasting 6% revenue decline for 2003

For full year 2003, we expect Motorola revenue to decline 5.8% to $25.7 billion, an

improvement from the 8.9% decline in ‘02 as the rate of revenue decline for GTSS

and BCS should slow significantly, offsetting a weak year for PCS. We forecast

GTSS revenue declining just 14% in 2003 after falling 29% in 2002, and BCS

revenue falling 21% in 2003 after falling 28% in 2002. In 2003, we expect

Motorola’s two biggest revenue sources, PCS and SPS, to post 5% declines, driven

 by excess inventory and ASP declines in Asia.

Wireless to Drive Longer-Term Outlook 

Looking out five years, we believe Motorola could post a five-year CAGR from

2003-2008 of 5%, driven by continued increases in global wireless penetration, share

gains in Europe, demand for handsets with new features, steady increases insemiconductor usage, stabilization in wireless and cable network spending, and

traditional stability from the company’s CGISS and IESS product sets. In addition to

industry growth, our expectation for PCS growth assumes ASPs decline 4%

annually, 1% better than the overall industry, as handsets in general pack more

features and Motorola makes more shipments into higher ASP markets such as

Europe versus lower ASP markets such as China.

PCS and SPS to Lead to a Second Quarter Revenue Decline

In the second quarter, we expect revenue to decline 1.4% sequentially to $6.0 billion,following the 21.5% decrease in the first quarter of 2003 and representing a

year-over-year decrease of 13.3%, down from the first quarter’s 2.2% decrease. In

the second quarter, we expect sequential declines in the PCS and SPS segments,

which are inconsistent with the normal seasonality of the business, where the first

quarter is normally the weakest.

The drivers of Motorola’s year-over-year revenue decrease in 2Q are weakness in

PCS, which we expect to decline 14.5% annually to $2.3 billion (down 6.2%

sequentially), and weakness in SPS, which we expect to decline 10.7% annually to

$1.12 billion (down 2.5% sequentially). These should be offset by strength in CGISS

and GTSS, which we expect to experience more typical seasonality in 2Q, growing

sequentially 6% and 4% respectively.

Operating Income

Margins Poised for a Turnaround

Motorola’s margins have come a long way over the past two years when the

company’s 27 semiconductor fabs and high overhead (headcount was 147,000)

caused a quarterly operating loss of $274 million in June 2001. Today, those 27 fabs

have been squeezed down to just eight and semiconductor breakeven is down to

$5 billion per year from $7.5 billion at the end of 2000. Total company headcount is

down as well to 93,000, heading toward 90,000 by year-end. Despite the

improvements in cost structure, however, MOT continues to report some of the

lowest operating margins in the wireless handset, semiconductor, and telecom

equipment industries. Even historically, the semis group never broke the 10-11%

margin range in the late 1990s, a period when Texas Instruments and others were

reporting 20-24% margins. However, with all six divisions finally either at or near 

 breakeven, we believe the model has plenty of operating leverage as the economy

improves and the company drives incremental revenue.

Further Cost Reductions Likely

Motorola is tailoring the company’s cost structure around the long-term goal of 

mid-teens operating income margin from each of its segments, except GTSS (which

has a lower, high-single-digit margin goal due to higher competition and weaker long-term potential). Given recently reduced guidance, we expect Motorola to pursue

further cost reductions when it reports second quarter earnings next week. Our 2003

operating income forecast of $1.1 billion excludes a further $700 million in

restructuring charges in 2003, in line with company expectations. We are also

assuming a $136 million benefit to SG&A expense from an additional 4,000-person

reduction to headcount. Our long-term, five-year model has operating margin

expanding to 10% by 2008 based on 5% compound annual revenue growth and 34%

gross margins.

Margin Improvement a Back Half of 2003 Story

We expect operating income in the second quarter of 2003 of $91 million for a 1.5%

margin, down $44 million from first quarter operating income of $135 million. In the

third and fourth quarter, we expect significant margin improvement to 4.3% and

8.1%, respectively (operating income of $275 million and $596 million). We believe

this improvement will be driven by the PCS and SPS divisions as the company works

through excess inventory in China and takes some incremental share of GSM handset

shipments in Europe.

EPS

Annual EPS to Show Improvement Despite 2003 Revenue Decline

For the full year 2003, we are forecasting Motorola’s earnings to grow to $0.21 per 

share from $0.12 in 2002 on a 6% decline in revenue. A slight improvement in grossmargin and $637 million in operating expense reductions should drive the earnings

growth. The company has stated that it will issue new and lower FY03 EPS guidance

on its July earnings call to update its previous guidance of $0.35-0.40, taking into

account the 2Q impact of SARS and high market inventories in China. Looking out

five years to 2008, we believe Motorola could grow earnings to $0.80 per share,

implying a compound annual growth rate of 31% from 2003.

2Q EPS Remains at Breakeven Level

We forecast 2Q 2003 earnings for Motorola of $0.00 per share, a decline from $0.02

in 2Q 2002 and a sequential decline from earnings of $0.01 in the first quarter. Our 

2Q estimate is in line within company guidance of $0.00. The year-over-year decline

in our EPS estimate is driven by a 13% decrease in revenue, partially mitigated by a

$167 million reduction in operating expenses. The operating expense improvement is primarily attributable to the reduction in headcount to 93,000 from 102,000 one year 

ago, which we forecast will lower SG&A expense by $190 million from 2Q02 to

$987 million for the quarter.

Growth by Division

Personal Communication Systems (PCS)

PCS is the biggest driver of top-line growth at Motorola and we track it by both

geography and technology. We estimate that a 1% shift in global PCS market share

translates into $615 million of revenue on the top line and a $0.02-0.03 impact to

total company EPS. Therefore, at a market multiple of approximately 20 times P/E, a

two-percentage point gain in sustainable global handset market share would translate

into approximately $1.00 of extra equity value.

The Global Handset Market Continues to Grow

We are forecasting global handset market growth of 5.7% in 2003 to 437 million

units and another 6% growth in 2004 to 462 million units. We expect Motorola to

account for 17.0% of these global shipments in 2003, flat with 2002 but growing to17.7% in 2004, driven by share gains in Europe. We note that we estimated the 2002

total handset market at 414 million units, well above Motorola’s estimate of 

395 million units worldwide.

Qualcomm (CDMA only) Down 10% in 2003

Source: Company reports.

Average Selling Price (ASP) Under Pressure

We expect Motorola’s ASPs to decrease over the rest of 2003 due to inventory

correction in Asia, offset somewhat by a mix shift in handset type as increased

European market penetration should come from higher-end handsets while share

losses in China and India come mainly from lower-end handsets. We are forecasting

an ASP of $143 for 2003, down from 1Q and down 10% from $155 in 2002, and

 below previous company guidance of down 5%. Our ASP estimates are more in line

with Sony-Ericsson’s expectation for the industry as can be seen in Table 6. In 2004,

we expect continued reductions in ASP to $137 for the year, down 4% from 2003.

Our 2004 ASP forecast of a 4% decline assumes that Motorola’s share gains in

Europe will give the company a 1% cushion compared with the industry as a whole.

PCS Revenue by Geography

Balancing Gains in Europe with Defending Share in U.S. and China

Table 7 gives our forecasts for Motorola handsets by geographic region, showing the

company’s strong share in North America and weaker share in Europe and the

Middle East. We note that our forecasts reflect a slight rebalancing as Motorola picks

up additional share in Europe. The key point to watch in the PCS story is whether 

Motorola can indeed gain some traction in Europe while defending its share in China

and the U.S. from Nokia, a revamped Sony-Ericsson, Korean players Samsung andLG, and the emerging set of new Chinese local manufacturers. We are modeling

MOT’s European handset share with higher ASP and margin since higher-end

 phones tend to be sold into Europe compared to China. We believe MOT’s success in

 penetrating Europe is key to its ability to sustain both ASP and margin.

In the paragraphs that follow, we detail our thought process on industry growth and

Motorola’s handset growth by geography.

North America Should Continue to Be the Biggest Market for MOT

Through 2002, North America accounted for slightly less than 40% of Motorola’s

handset shipments on average, and we estimate North America should continue to be

Motorola’s largest market, contributing nearly 40% of shipments in 2003 and 2004.

The spike in North America over the last few quarters comes as high channel

inventories in China are depressing shipments into Asia, while the new European

strategy should take several more quarters to take hold. Motorola’s North Americanmarket share in 2003 should also be bolstered by shipments of GSM handsets to

T-Mobile, whose industry-low service plans should drive, we expect, a larger 

 percentage of GSM gross adds in 2003.

Working Through Inventory and Defending Share in Asia-Pacific

Asia-Pacific, where Motorola held the number-one share position in China

throughout 2002, contributes the next largest percentage of Motorola shipments,

having accounted for 31%, or 21.5 million, handsets last year. As MOT deliberately

 pulls back on shipping into the region in an effort to stabilize the excess channel

inventory problems, we expect Asia to become a smaller part of the company’s

overall volume, dropping to 15% in 2Q before returning to a more normal 20% level

in 2004. Overall, we forecast Asia to contribute just 14.6 million handsets in 2003,

down 32% from 21.5 million in 2002, before bouncing back up to 22.7 million in

2004. China accounts for the vast majority of Motorola’s Asia-Pacific shipments.

While the company benefits from long-standing distribution channels and carrier relationships in China, we believe new entrants, primarily Asian manufacturers such

as TCL and Bird, will continue to gain incremental share at the lower end.

Europe/EMEA the Key to Growth

Motorola has traditionally lagged its competitors, such as Nokia and Sony-Ericsson,

in EMEA, naturally dominated by Western Europe. EMEA accounted for 20% of the

company’s shipments in 2002, and we estimate the company captured just 9% of this

market, trailing Nokia (50% share) and Siemens (16% share) by a wide margin.

Despite the company’s weak performance in the past, we believe Motorola should be

able to gain ground in the latter part of 2003 and into 2004, with EMEA accounting

for more than 20% of MOT shipments in 2H03 and 25% of shipments in full year 

2004, raising MOT’s European market share to 12% by the end of 2004.

Motorola could also see upside from Eastern Europe as the dominant handset

 providers are not as entrenched in those markets. Motorola’s new strategy in Europe

for gaining share is to work closely with the service provider, introducing exclusive

and customized versions of its handsets.

PCS Revenue by Technology

On a technology basis, we do not expect any major shifts in the contribution of 

handset shipments over the next two years. The most notable shift will be an increase

in Motorola’s percent contribution from W-CDMA handsets, from 0% in 2002 to

2.5% in 2004 as the company moves forward with next-generation operators in

Europe while sustaining new competition from Nokia in CDMA. Table 8 shows our 

handset forecast broken down by technology.

GSM Continues to Be the Most Important Market

The large contribution to Motorola’s total shipments from GSM is driven by the

company’s increased emphasis on penetrating EMEA and by the technology shift

away from legacy TDMA handsets in the United States. We are forecasting Motorolato capture 13.4% of the worldwide GSM market in 2003 and a greater 13.9% share in

2004, mainly the result of increased European emphasis.

New Opportunities and Competition in CDMA

We are forecasting CDMA handset contribution to grow in 2003 to 25%, and

maintain that level in 2004 as new CDMA markets in countries such as India and

China develop. These gains should be partially offset in 2004 by increased CDMA

competition from Nokia, which plans to introduce five new CDMA handsets in the

United States in the second half of 2003, and by new local competition in China from

companies such as TCL, Bird, ZTE, and Haier. These pressures result in our net

forecast of Motorola’s CDMA market share reaching 19.5% in 2003, and growing

modestly to 20.3% in 2004 from 18.5% in 2002.

WCDMA Could Become a Significant Factor in 2004

Motorola currently only supplies 3G handsets into 3’s (formerly Hutchison

Whampoa) wideband CDMA networks in the U.K. and Italy; Siemens is also

OEM’ing the MOT WCDMA phone. We are not modeling any significant

contribution from WCDMA in 2003, but are looking for WCDMA to contribute

roughly 2.5% of handset shipments for Motorola in 2004. 

iDEN Remains a Cash Cow

We are currently forecasting iDEN handsets to contribute 10% of total shipments in

2003 and 2004, down from 12-15% in 2001 and 2002 as Nextel’s net and gross adds

have remained remarkably flat over the last two to three years while global

subscriber and handset additions have ramped up. Motorola is currently—and should

remain—the sole provider of handsets for Nextel’s iDEN network.

PDC/Other

The PDC/Other market category includes all unique wireless technologies such as

the PDC/PAS, Japan’s FOMA, and the other UMTS/WCDMA networks. Motorola

does not compete in these markets.

New Push-to-Talk Services Could Affect iDEN Sales

Several carriers such as Verizon Wireless, Sprint PCS, and ALLTEL should be

introducing “push-to-talk” functionality over their CDMA networks later this year 

and could pose a threat to Nextel, negatively affecting gross adds and thereby iDEN

handset sales. Nextel is also rolling out nationwide push-to-talk, which should be

attractive to its core business-oriented customer base. It is unclear whether the newcompetitive services will have latency issues that make their product less attractive.

Overall, we expect iDEN shipments to be relatively flat over next two years at 2002

levels of roughly 2 million a quarter. We note that iDEN phones tend to have a

higher ASP and, therefore, contribute disproportionately to margin.

Looking to 2004 for PCS Profitability Improvements

In 2004, we forecast full year PCS margin of 8.0%, up from 5.5% for full year 2003

and 7.2% in 2002. Motorola’s product platform design strategy has reduced the cost

of handsets by reducing the number of parts used, increasing the commonality of 

 parts and software, lowering the number of unique handset designs, and improving

standardization. The net result was a $1.1 billion improvement in PCS operating

income in 2002 from 2001, despite shipments growing just 12% and revenues

growing by $406 million.

Scale and In-House Components Could Drive PCS Margins Long TermWe forecast 16.9% compound annual growth in PCS operating income from 2003 to

2008, to $1.28 billion for the year. We expect this increase to come from scale

 benefits as shipment volume increases, and cost benefits as Motorola enjoys

favorable in-house pricing on all chipsets for its 2.5G GSM/GPRS and 3G WCDMA

handsets.

Profitability to Dip in the Near Term

We forecast operating margin falling 220 basis points to 2.2% in 2Q from 4.4% in

 prior quarter before rebounding to 10.3% by 4Q03, driven by seasonality-induced

revenue growth.

Semiconductor Product Segment (SPS)

Handset Volumes Drive SPS

For 2003, we are forecasting a decline of 5% (previous guidance was for 5-10%

industry growth), driven by the wireless inventory correction in China and pressure

on ASPs. In wireless, we are forecasting Motorola’s wireless handset volume to

grow 6% year over year in 2003, in line with the market. The continued shift in 2003

from the CDMA One phones that used exclusively Motorola silicon toward

CDMA-1X phones that use Qualcomm chips should more than offset any growth

coming from PCS. We also believe the continued increasing usage of semiconductors

in cars—a factor that we estimate grows 10-15% per year—should help drive

revenue beyond 2003.

Motorola Still Growing Well Below Industry Trends

The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) data for April indicated that

three-month rolling average sales for the industry were up 9.7% year over year,

 below our JPMorgan semiconductor analyst’s expectation of 10.9%. Our JPMorganexpectation for industry growth is 7% for 2003, but with Motorola’s 1Q revenue

falling 14% and our expectation of another sequential down quarter in 2Q, we do not

 believe the company will be able to participate in industry growth until a correction

in Asian wireless handset inventory occurs. Beyond 2003, we believe Motorola

should be able to grow more in line with the semiconductor industry and are

forecasting revenue to grow at an 8% compound annual rate from 2003 to 2008.

Volume and Utilization Are the Keys to the Profitability Picture

The key variable to SPS profitability is capacity utilization of the company’s

fabrication facilities. We estimate MOT’s current 8 fabs and system of partnership

outsourcing agreements with TSMC can handle approximately $6.5 billion in salesversus the current revenue level of $4.8 billion. This implies that MOT has plenty of 

room to grow its business while keeping utilization in the low but respectable

60-65% range. The company is targeting a long-term operating margin of 15-18%,

up from just above breakeven today. In our model, we are forecasting SPS operating

margin of 2% in 2004 on its way to 11% by 2008.

Breakeven Now Just $5 Billion

MOT has thoroughly revamped the SPS business model to an “asset-light” strategy

that has lowered the annual breakeven rate to $5 billion—just 8% above the 1Q

annualized revenue run-rate—down from $7.5 billion a little over two years ago.

Internal manufacturing is now focused solely on leading-edge and specialty

technologies, such as 90nm, while most other work has been farmed out. The risks

associated with bleeding-edge research has also been mitigated through a series of technology partnerships and IP licensing agreements, such as the company’s joint

90nm production effort with partners ST Micro and Philips.

Manufacturing Consolidation Is the Main Source of Cost Reduction

As of the current quarter, Motorola operates only 8 eight-wafer fabrication facilities

and two assembly sites, down from nine and three at year-end 2002, and 16 and six at

year-end 2000. While we believe outsourcing manufacturing may limit the potential

margin upside longer term, our projections for 2003 reflect strong profitability

improvements in the near term. See the Appendix for a detailed list of Motorola’s

eight semiconductor production facilities.

Wireless Infrastructure (GTSS)

The Good Old Days Are Long Gone, But Revenue Declines Are Slowing

Despite hopes for a return to past wireless spending levels, we are forecasting a

continuing gradual year-over-year decline in revenue in 2003 and 2004. From 2003

to 2008, we believe GTSS revenue could grow at a 3.4% compounded annual growth

rate, reaching $4.7 billion in 2008. While this represents a reversal of trend, it is still

well below the boom-year revenue of $7.6 billion in 2000 and $6.5 billion in 2001.

Our forecasted growth is based on continued strong growth in minutes of use, new

CDMA builds at China Unicom, and the potential of new revenue sources from India

wireless network rollouts. In the second quarter we expect a modest stabilization in

trends, and we forecast revenue of $990 million, up 4% sequentially, but down

21.5% year over year.

MOT Has Done a Good Job Maintaining Profit in the Weak Market

Motorola lowered its breakeven rate in GTSS to $4 billion on an annual basis. We

expect the 18% GTSS headcount reduction in 2002 and the planned 5% reduction in2003 to help Motorola reduce operating expenses more quickly than its revenues

would decline. This would result in an above-breakeven operating income forecast

for 2003 (3.6% operating margin), followed by further improvements in profitability

in 2004, with operating margin of 5.5%. By 2008, assuming continued revenue

growth and breakeven revenue remained just below $4 billion, we forecast operating

margin to reach 10%.

Two-Way Radio Systems (CGISS)

Homeland Security Could Improve CGISS Revenue Outlook 

We believe Homeland Security spending could be a longer-term driver of CGISS

revenue as governments and municipalities extend the reach and functionality of 

their two-way radio networks. However, we are cautious in the near term as the

economic environment has led to tighter budgets controls at the local and state levels

and slower appropriations by customers.

Our CGISS Forecast Reflects Cautious Optimism

For the full year 2003, we believe CGISS revenue could grow 3% for the year,

dependent on slightly increased government spending in the second half of the year.

Over the longer term, we believe municipal budgets should loosen, leading to a

5-year CAGR of 5.4% through 2008 as CGISS continues to be a stable source of 

revenue for Motorola. In the second quarter, we are forecasting a pick-up in CGISS

revenue to $915 million for 6% sequential growth, after the first quarter’s 26.5%

decline.

Profitability Improving

We are forecasting steady improvements in operating margin throughout 2003 and

2004, driven by improvements to supply chain management and manufacturing

 processes. We are forecasting operating margins of 11.5% in 2003 and 12.0% in

2004 following 2002’s 9.6%. CGISS should also begin to see the cost benefits from

the 10% headcount reduction since the end of 2001.

Broadband (Cable) Communications Segment (BCS)

BCS Revenue Continues to Be Hurt by Cable Spending Cutbacks

BCS revenue has been adversely affected by the slowdown in spending by cable

 providers as capex per subscriber has fallen from $292 in 2002 to an estimated $206

this year and $180 in 2004 according to JPMorgan cable analyst, Jason Bazinet. The

new Comcast (i.e., including AT&T Broadband) accounted for 40% of revenue in

2002 and has guided 2003 capex down 23% year over year. Since over 50% of BCS

revenue comes from set-top boxes, revenue growth is dependent on future cable

industry product cycles such as video on demand (VoD) and personal video recorders

(PVRs, e.g., TiVo) to follow up on the success of digital cable.

Trends Are Improving, But Only Slightly

With a slight sequential increase in revenue in the back half of the year, consistent

with the normal seasonality of MSO spending, we are projecting revenue of 

$1.65 billion for 2003, down 21% from 2002. Longer term, we expect revenues to

fall at five-year CAGR of -4.1%, dropping in double digits for the next two years as

MSOs continue to reduce spending, followed by a flattening out period through2008. We are forecasting second quarter revenue from BCS to remain flat with the

first quarter (down 27% year over year).

Maintaining Profits in a Tough Market

Historically, with mid-teens operating margins, BCS has been a profitable group for 

Motorola. We believe BCS should remain profitable, but with margins dipping to

8-9% in 2003 and 2004 as massive revenue declines are offset by expense reductions.

Our forecast assumes benefits from a 27% reduction in manufacturing headcount and

a 13% reduction in selling, general and administrative personnel in 2002, but we are

not modeling margin expansion at the present time given the declining state of 

industry spending.

Integrated Electronic Systems Segment (IESS)

Auto Production Slowdown Could Impact IESS Sales

We expect continued modest IESS revenue declines of 3.6% in 2003, slightly worse

than the 2% decline in 2002, but significantly better than the 22% decline in 2001.

ACES (autos) revenue was up in 2002 due to increases in North American

automotive production. North American production appears to be headed for a

weaker year in 2003, while first quarter production was up on a year-over-year basis,

Our Autos analyst, David Bradley, is forecasting weaker annual production totals for 

the second quarter and the full year. Production in the latter half of 2003 could be

adversely affected potentially by an auto workers strike. Reductions in battery prices

and flat unit demand for wireless handsets led to declines in MCG and ESG revenue

in 2002, but our global handset shipment forecast of 437 million in 2003, up 6%,

should help slow down the rate of revenue decline.

Long-Term Revenue Outlook Is Stable

In 2004, we forecast a 0.3% decline in IESS revenue, continuing modestimprovement from 2003 that will be driven by growth in next-generation handsets

and continued increased utilization of electronic systems by vehicle OEMs, offset by

 price reductions. Longer term, we believe Motorola could post modest growth from

IESS based on continued market growth and utilization of electronic systems. From

2003 to 2008, we forecast 2.6% compound annual revenue growth.

Cost-Cutting and Consolidating to Improve Profitability Picture

We are forecasting modest year-over-year margin improvement in 2003, as IESS

 benefits from restructuring at its manufacturing and administrative facilities.

Motorola is in the process of moving its auto body production facility from Elma, New York, to Nogales, Mexico, and is consolidating its IESS and ACES

headquarters in Illinois. Motorola also outsourced its Tempe, Arizona, manufacturing

activity in 2002. These restructurings led to a 5% employee headcount reduction in

2002. Longer term, the company is targeting mid-teens operating margins from

IESS, but we believe a turnaround in revenue trends will be necessary first.

Valuation

Sales and EBITDA Multiples Suggest Upside

Motorola trades in line with its peers on 2004 P/E, but at a steep discount in terms of 

firm value to revenue and firm value to EBITDA. Hence, we believe Motorola value

expansion is contingent on improving operating leverage and expanding margins. At

the current stock price of $10.25, Motorola trades at a revenue multiple of 1.0x and

an EBITDA multiple of 8.3x on our 2004 estimate of $3.1 billion, well below peers

such as Nokia (2.2x and 9.9x respectively), Ericsson (1.4x and 13.6x respectively),

Qualcomm (7.4x and 16.0x respectively), Nortel (1.3x and 11.2x respectively), and

Lucent (1.0x and 13.7x respectively). On an earnings basis, Motorola trades closer to

 peers with a 2004 P/E of 24.5x versus Nokia at 18.4, Qualcomm at 22.2, and Nortel

at 26.3. On a leverage basis, at a 28% debt to capitalization ratio, Motorola is much

more levered than peers Nokia (2%) and Qualcomm (2%), but more in line with

 peers Nortel (25%), Lucent (38%), and Ericsson (29%).

Strong Upside Potential if MOT Can Execute

Looking at three scenarios and applying Motorola’s current one-year forward

multiples to our 2005 estimates, we calculate that Motorola could trade at a wide

range of values next year. In general, however, the bias appears toward the upside. If 

Motorola’s results for 2003 and 2004 lead us to maintain our current projection for 

2005, the potential upside to Motorola’s current price ranges from 7-26%. If 

Motorola’s 2004 results cause us to lower our 2005 projections 10%, and Motorola

continues to trade at the same multiples, the potential change in the stock could be

Motorola Balance Sheet Status

Heavy Debt Burden

Motorola has $8.4 billion in debt outstanding, the largest in our coverage universe,

down from $9.3 billion after paying down the $825 million of PURS derivative

securities in February. Debt to total capital stands at 28% and net debt (net of $6.4B

in cash and short term investments) to total cap stands at 7%. With our assumptions

of EBITDA of $2.7 billion in 2003 and $3.1 billion in 2004, and average annual free

cash flow before charges of $1.4 billion over these years, we estimate Motorola

should reach a net cash positive position in Q1 2006.

Short-Term Liquidity in OK Shape

In the U.S., Motorola has a $700 million 364-day revolving credit facility (expiring

in May 2004) and a $900 million facility (expiring in May 2005). Motorola also has

$2 billion in foreign credit facilities in place, for a total of approximately $3.6 billion

in available credit, versus total short-term debt of $775 million as of 1Q 2003

(including $496 million of commercial paper). If Motorola were to fall below

investment grade, the U.S. facilities would place liens on inventories and receivables.

The current debt ratings are “BBB” with a “negative outlook” by S&P, and “Baa2”

with a “negative outlook” by Moody’s. The numerous foreign facilities are generallyused to conduct normal business operations in Europe, Asia, and Latin America and

have various expirations.

Unfunded Pension Liability Expected to Grow

At the end of 2002, Motorola had underfunded pension obligations of nearly$2.1 billion. Given the performance of both the equity and debt markets so far this

year, we would expect this underfunded status to have decreased, although declining

 prevailing discount rates would serve to counteract this effect. Motorola is required

to make a $50 million contribution to its pension fund in 2003, but the company had

announced plans make a $150-200 million contribution after not making a

contribution in 2002. Compared to other technology companies with pension plans,

such as Lucent and Nortel, Motorola maintains slightly more aggressive assumptions

for its return on pension and post-retirement assets, with an 8.5% rate of return and a

6.75% discount rate. We believe Motorola may need to lower its aggressive

assumptions to better align its plans with current market conditions. Doing this

would likely increase the underfunded status of its plans, necessitating further cash

contributions.

Note: Motorola’s unfunded status includes both the regular and officer plans.

Outstanding Lawsuits Not a Major Issue

Motorola has $4.2 billion in lawsuits filed against it related to Iridium, toward which

the company has $175 million of reserves. We believe the company has made

substantial progress in resolving its outstanding Iridium dealings highlighted by the

March 6 settlement where Motorola resolved all outstanding claims with Chase for a

cash payment of $12 million. Likewise, we believe the final settlements concerning

the outstanding litigation could be settled for a fraction of their announced values.

Small Possibility for Cash from Other Commitments

Motorola has $2.5 billion in impaired finance receivables, of which the company has

reserved $2.2 billion for expected losses, leaving approximately $300 million inunreserved receivables. Of the $2.2 billion in reserves, $2.0 billion relate to loans it

made to Telsim, a mobile operator in Turkey. In 2002, Motorola wrote off the

$2.0 billion in loans in their entirety (likewise, Nokia wrote off €669 million in loans

it made to Telsim). While litigation continues, and we believe there is a good chance

of a favorable ruling for Motorola, it appears unlikely that Motorola will actually

collect on any portion of the loan in the near future (see status below).

Motorola has pared back its guarantees of third-party debt. At the end of 1Q 2003,

the company had $51 million in outstanding drawn commitments, with no undrawn

commitments remaining.

The Telsim Proceeding Looks Positive, But Cash Windfall Unlikely

United States proceedings: In January 2002, Motorola, together with Nokia, filedsuit against Telsim and the Uzan family in the U.S. District Court of Southern New

York for injunctive relief and damages. Motorola and Nokia alleged: (1) fraud and

conspiracy under Illinois laws, (2) computer hacking under federal laws, (3) violation

of Illinois trade secret laws, and (4) violation of federal RICO (Racketeer Influenced

and Corrupt Organizations Act) statutes. They called for a lien on Uzan family assets

and made claims on Uzan family real estate and bank accounts in New York. In May

2002, the court ordered a preliminary injunction under which the Uzan family was

ordered to deposit pledged stock to Motorola, adjusting for the dilutive impacts of a

stock issuance, which had reduced Motorola’s interest from 66% to 22%. Later in

May 2002, the Uzans’ request for a stay was rejected, and they were found in

contempt of court for not complying with the court’s order. In February 2003, the

case was tried to conclusion; no verdict has yet been reached.

In March 2003, an Appellate Court upheld the preliminary injunction supporting theIllinois fraud allegations. It also found RICO allegations premature pending

determination that remedies offered no realistic chance of property recovery. The

Appellate Court remanded back to the District Court the Uzans’ assertion that Swiss

arbitration was the proper jurisdiction for Motorola’s claims.

United Kingdom proceedings: In January 2002, Motorola filed an injunction to

freeze $50 million in Uzan family assets in the United Kingdom and freeze

$200 million in assets worldwide. The Uzans were ordered to disclose assets, but the

disclosures were deemed inadequate. Subsequently, the Uzans did not appear for 

cross-examination and were found in contempt of court. They were ordered

imprisoned for a period up to 15 months. The Uzans later appealed this ruling and the

freezing of assets.

On June 12, 2003, the Court of Appeal of England and Wales dismissed a number of 

appeals by the Uzans, upholding the Worldwide Freezing Orders. The Court’s

decision assured that $800 million of Uzan assets be preserved pending the

enforcement of the judgment by the District Court for the Southern District of New

York regarding the fraud claim against the Uzans. The Court also affirmed that the

sentences of incarceration for Cem Uzan and Aysegul Akay remain in place.

Switzerland proceedings: In February 2003, the Uzans filed for arbitration against

Motorola in the Zurich Chamber of Commerce. The Uzans acknowledged their debt

 but claimed the Turkish economy prevented them from repaying loans. The Uzans

asked for a new repayment schedule. This arbitration is still proceeding. In June

2003, the Uzans filed another arbitration against Motorola. They have claimed

damages of $280.5 million for defective equipment. Hearings are scheduled for 

 November 2003 and January 2004.

Motorola Cash Flow

Generating Strong Cash Flow

In our view, Motorola should be able to significantly improve its liquidity and

leverage positions in the coming years. However, the company’s current large debt

load and declining credit ratings remain a concern. We expect Motorola to end 2003

with $5.9 billion in cash and short-term investments, down from $6.6 billion at the

end of 2002. The moderate decline in Motorola’s cash balance between 2002 and

2003 is driven by our expectation of $2.7 billion in EBITDA, $325 million in proceeds from the sale of Nextel shares (recognized in 1Q), $793 million in capital

expenditure (in line with company guidance), $904 million in maturites

($825 million having been paid already in 1Q with the redemption of the

$825 million of PURS), $700 million in restructuring charges, and a $180 million

contribution to the underfunded pension fund.

Cash Flow Could Drive Leverage Improvements

Beyond 2003, we expect annual improvement in the company’s cash balances to

$6.5 billion in 2004 and $7.3 billion in 2005, driven by $3.2 billion in annual

EBITDA and $1.5 billion in annual free cash flow. Our forecast assumes that

cash flow forecast.
