Conference Call and Webcast

Motorola will host its quarterly conference call beginning at 8
a.m. (U.S. Eastern Time) on Thursday, July 29. The conference call
will be webcast live with audio and slides at www.motorola.com/investor.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to the GAAP results included in this presentation,
Motorola has also included non-GAAP measurements of results.
Motorola has provided these non-GAAP measurements to help investors
better understand Motorolas core operating performance, enhance
comparisons of Motorolas core operating performance from period to
period and allow better comparisons of Motorolas operating
performance to that of its competitors. Among other things, the
Companys management uses these operating results, excluding the
identified items, to evaluate the performance of its 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 its
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 GAAP.

Highlighted items: The Company has excluded the effects
of highlighted items (and any reversals of highlighted items
recorded in prior periods) 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
Companys current operating performance or comparisons to the
Companys past operating performance.

Stock-based compensation expense: The Company has
excluded stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP
operating expenses and net income measurements. Although
stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our
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 stock-based
compensation expense primarily because it represents a significant
non-cash expense. Stock-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 income measurements, primarily because
it represents a significant 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 Companys acquisitions. Investors should
note that the use of intangible assets contributed to the Companys
revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to
the Companys future period revenues as well. Intangible assets
amortization expense will recur in future periods.

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.
