1.Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of July 1, 2023 and for the three and six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to state fairly the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, Statements of Comprehensive Income, Statements of Stockholders' Equity, and Statements of Cash Flows of Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“Motorola Solutions” or the “Company”) for all periods presented.
The Company operates on a 52-week fiscal year, with each fiscal year ending on December 31. With respect to each fiscal quarter, the Company operates on a 13-week fiscal quarter, with all fiscal quarters ending on a Saturday.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "Form 10-K"). The results of operations for the three and six months ended July 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the revenue that is expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, as of the end of a period. The transaction values associated with remaining performance obligations which were not yet satisfied as of July 1, 2023 was $9.4 billion. A total of $4.8 billion was from Products and Systems Integration performance obligations that were not yet satisfied as of July 1, 2023, of which $3.0 billion is expected to be recognized in the next twelve months. The remaining amounts will generally be satisfied over time as systems are implemented. Remaining performance obligations from the Products and Systems Integration segment are equal to disclosed backlog for the segment. A total of $4.6 billion was from Software and Services performance obligations that were not yet satisfied as of July 1, 2023. The determination of Software and Services performance obligations that are not satisfied takes into account a contract term that may be limited by the customer’s ability to terminate for convenience. Where termination for convenience exists in the Company's service contracts, its disclosure of the remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied assumes the contract term is limited until renewal. As a result, remaining performance obligations from the Software and Services segment may be less than disclosed backlog in the Software and Services segment due to multi-year service contracts with termination for convenience clauses. The Company expects to recognize $1.6 billion from unsatisfied Software and Services performance obligations over the next twelve months, with the remaining performance obligations generally to be recognized over time as services are performed and software is implemented.

During the three months ended July 1, 2023, the Company revised the estimate for its liability related to ongoing remediation efforts of environmental media such as groundwater, soil, and soil vapor, as well as related legal fees for a designated Superfund site under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (commonly known as the "Superfund Act") incurred by a legacy business. It is the Company's policy to re-evaluate the reserve when certain events become known that will impact the future cash payments. During three months ended July 1, 2023, the Company became aware of incremental costs required in its remediation of the Superfund site. As such, the Company recorded a charge of $15 million, increasing the reserve balance to $127 million. The Company discounted the cash flows used in estimating this accrual using a risk-free treasury rate. The current portion of the estimated environmental liability is $4 million and is included in the Accrued liabilities statement line and the non-current portion is included in the "Other liabilities" statement line within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended July 1, 2023, the assumed exercise of 0.3 million options, inclusive of 0.2 million options subject to market based contingent option agreements, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended July 1, 2023, the assumed exercise of 0.3 million options, inclusive of 0.2 million options subject to market based contingent option agreements, were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended July 2, 2022, the assumed exercise of 0.2 million options, inclusive of 0.1 million options subject to market based contingent option agreements, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. In the computation

of diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended July 2, 2022, the assumed exercise of 0.2 million options were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
As of July 1, 2023, the Company had $1.0 billion of the Senior Convertible Notes outstanding, which mature on September 15, 2024. The notes are convertible based on a conversion rate of 4.9670 per $1,000 principal amount (which is equal to a conversion price of $201.33 per share), adjusted for dividends declared through the date of settlement. The notes became fully convertible as of September 5, 2021, when the average stock price exceeded the contractual conversion price, providing the holders the option to convert all or any portion of their Senior Convertible Notes. In November 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved an irrevocable determination requiring the future settlement of the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes to be settled in cash. Because the Company has irrevocably decided to settle the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes in cash, the Company did not reflect any shares underlying the Senior Convertible Notes in its diluted weighted average shares outstanding until the average stock price per share for the period exceeded the conversion price, which first occurred for the quarter ended October 2, 2021. Upon conversion of the Senior Convertible Notes, the Company has the option to settle the conversion spread in cash or shares. The Company included the number of shares that would be issuable upon conversion in the Company’s computation of diluted earnings per share, based on the amount by which the average stock price exceeded the conversion price for the period ended July 1, 2023. The value by which the Senior Convertible Notes exceeded their principal amount if converted as of July 1, 2023 was $402 million.

Accounts Payable
The Company utilizes a supplier finance program which provides our suppliers the ability to accelerate payment on the Company's invoices beyond the stated payment terms. Under the terms of this program, the Company agrees to pay an intermediary the stated amount of confirmed invoices on the stated maturity dates of the invoices, and the supplier is able to negotiate earlier payment terms with the intermediary. The Company or the intermediary may terminate our agreement at any time upon 60 days' notice. The Company does not provide any forms of guarantees under this arrangement. Supplier participation in the program is solely at the supplier's discretion, and the participating suppliers negotiate their arrangements directly with the intermediary. The Company has no economic interest in a supplier's decision to participate in the program, and their participation has no bearing on our payment terms or amounts due. The stated invoice payment terms range from 75 to 120 days from the invoice date and are considered commercially reasonable.
The Company's outstanding amounts related to the suppliers participating in this program was $32 million and $37 million as of July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Supplier finance program obligations are classified as Accounts payable within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

5.    Debt and Credit Facilities
As of July 1, 2023, the Company had a $2.25 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility scheduled to mature in March 2026 (the "2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement"). The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes a letter of credit sub-limit and fronting commitments of $450 million. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the prime rate plus the applicable margin, or at a spread above the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), at the Company's option. An annual facility fee is payable on the undrawn amount of the credit line. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment if the Company's credit rating changes. The Company must comply with certain customary covenants including a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of July 1, 2023. On February 8, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement to replace the interest rate benchmark from London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to SOFR.
The Company has an unsecured commercial paper program, backed by the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement, under which the Company may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $2.2 billion outstanding at any one time. Proceeds from the issuances of the notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The notes are issued at a zero-coupon rate and are issued at a discount which reflects the interest component. At maturity, the notes are paid back in full including the interest component. The notes are not redeemable prior to maturity. As of July 1, 2023 the Company had no outstanding debt under the commercial paper program.

6.    Risk Management
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion for periods ended July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company does not believe these financial instruments should subject it to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions.
The following table shows the five largest net notional amounts of the positions to buy or sell foreign currency as of July 1, 2023, and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2022: 
 Notional Amount

British pound$257 $290 
Euro214 185 
Australian dollar(150)(130)
Chinese renminbi(61)(61)
Danish krone48 32 
Counterparty Risk
The use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties. However, the Company’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instruments when the derivative is in an asset position. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk. As of July 1, 2023, all of the counterparties had investment grade credit ratings. As of July 1, 2023, the Company had $6 million of exposure to aggregate credit risk with all counterparties.
The following tables summarize the fair values and locations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of all derivative financial instruments held by the Company as of July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Net Investment Hedges
The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against the effect of the British pound and the Euro exchange rate fluctuations against the U.S. dollar on a portion of its net investments in certain European operations. The Company recognizes changes in the fair value of the net investment hedges as a component of foreign currency translation adjustments within other comprehensive income to offset a portion of the change in translated value of the net investments being hedged, until the investments are sold or liquidated. As of July 1, 2023, the Company had €100 million of net investment hedges in certain Euro functional subsidiaries and £55 million of net investment hedges in a British pound functional subsidiary.
The Company excludes the difference between the spot rate and the forward rate of the forward contract from its assessment of hedge effectiveness. The effect of the excluded components will be amortized on a straight line basis and recognized through interest expense. During the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, the Company amortized $1 million of income from the excluded components through interest expense.

7.    Income Taxes
At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of its annual effective income tax rate. Tax expense in interim periods is calculated at the estimated annual effective tax rate plus or minus the tax effects of items of income and expense that are discrete to the period. The estimate used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis may change in subsequent interim periods.
The following table provides details of income taxes:

The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 1, 2023 of 23% and the effective tax rate for the six months ended July 1, 2023 of 23% were higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state tax expense, offset by excess tax benefits of share-based compensation.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 2, 2022 of 24% was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state tax expense. The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 2, 2022 of 4% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to a net deferred tax benefit as a result of an intra-group transfer of certain IP rights, higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation, and a higher foreign derived intangible income deduction in 2022.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 1, 2023 of 23% was lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended July 2, 2022 of 24%, primarily due to higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation in 2023. The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 1, 2023 of 23% was higher than the effective tax rate for the six months ended July 2, 2022 of 4%, primarily due to a net deferred tax benefit as a result of an intra-group transfer of certain IP rights, higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation, and a higher foreign derived intangible income deduction in 2022.

Legal Matters
Hytera Litigation
On March 14, 2017, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the "Court") against Hytera Communications Corporation Limited of Shenzhen, China; Hytera America, Inc.; and Hytera Communications America (West), Inc. (collectively, "Hytera"), alleging trade secret theft and copyright infringement and seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, compensatory damages and punitive damages. On February 14, 2020, the Company announced that a jury in the Court decided in the Company's favor in its trade secret theft and copyright infringement case. In connection with this verdict, the jury awarded the Company $345.8 million in compensatory damages and $418.8 million in punitive damages, for a total of $764.6 million. In a series of post-trial rulings in 2021, the Court subsequently reduced the judgment to $543.7 million, but also ordered Hytera to pay the Company $51.1 million in pre-judgment interest and $2.6 million in costs, as well as $34.2 million in attorneys fees. The Company continues to seek collection of the judgment through the ongoing legal process.
On December 17, 2020, the Court held that Hytera must pay the Company a forward-looking reasonable royalty on products that use the Company’s stolen trade secrets, and on December 15, 2021, set royalty rates for Hytera's sale of relevant products from July 1, 2019 forward. On July 5, 2022, the Court ordered that Hytera pay into a third-party escrow on July 31, 2022, the royalties owed to the Company based on the sale of relevant products from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2022. Hytera failed to make the required royalty payment on July 31, 2022. On August 1, 2022, Hytera filed a motion to modify or stay the Court's previous July 5, 2022 royalty order. On August 3, 2022, the Company filed a motion seeking to hold Hytera in civil contempt for violating the royalty order by not making the required royalty payment on July 31, 2022. Hytera made quarterly royalty payments on October 31, 2022, January 31, 2023, April 25, 2023 and July 25, 2023 into a third-party escrow. The amounts paid into escrow were de minimis and will not be recognized until all contingencies are resolved and amounts are released from escrow. On July 11, 2023, the Court denied Hytera's modification and stay motions and stated that it will consider the Company's contempt motion on August 8, 2023, if Hytera has not yet made the deposit previously due on July 31, 2022, into the escrow account. The Court subsequently set the Company's contempt motion for hearing on August 17, 2023.
On August 2, 2022, Hytera appealed the Court's judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (the "Court of Appeals"). The Company filed its cross-appeal on August 5, 2022. The parties have now submitted all briefs and responses on Hytera's appeal and the Company's cross-appeal. The Court of Appeals has not set an oral argument date yet.
Hytera Bankruptcy Proceedings
Separate from the Company's litigation with Hytera, on May 27, 2020, Hytera America, Inc. and Hytera Communications America (West), Inc. each filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On February 11, 2022, the Court entered an order to confirm the liquidation plan for the two Hytera entities and the distributions were made on February 25, 2022 to the creditors, including a distribution of $13 million to the Company. On December 22, 2022, an additional distribution of $2 million was made to the Company as well as an assignment of various delinquent accounts receivable of the bankrupt Hytera entities. The gains for the two monetary distributions were recorded to Other charges (income) in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Executive Overview
Business Overview
The Company reports net sales in the following three major products and services (which we refer to as “technologies” in this Form 10-Q): Land Mobile Radio Communications (“LMR” or “LMR Communications”), Video Security and Access Control ("Video") and Command Center.
LMR Communications: Infrastructure, devices (two-way radio and broadband, including both for public safety and Professional Commercial Radio ("PCR")) and software that enable communications, inclusive of installation and integration, backed by services, to assure availability, security and resiliency.
Video: Cameras (fixed, body-worn, in-vehicle), access control, infrastructure, video management, software and artificial intelligence ("AI")-enabled analytics that enable visibility “on scene” and bring attention to what’s important.
Command Center: Software suite that enables collaboration and shares information throughout the public safety workflow from "911 call to case closure."
Second Quarter Financial Results
Net sales were $2.4 billion in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $2.1 billion in the second quarter of 2022.
Operating earnings were $518 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $358 million in the second quarter of 2022.
Net earnings attributable to Motorola Solutions, Inc. were $371 million, or $2.15 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $228 million, or $1.33 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2022.
26


Operating cash flow decreased $77 million to $85 million in the first half of 2023 compared to $162 million in the first half of 2022.
We repurchased $364 million of common stock and paid $296 million in dividends in the first half of 2023.
Macroeconomic Events
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have navigated disruptions in our supply chain, in particular, challenges in procuring certain semiconductor components along with diminished transportation capacity and higher freight costs. During 2023 we experienced gradual improvement in the market conditions influenced by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the inflationary cost environment, particularly with respect to availability of materials in the semiconductor market. Where appropriate, we have taken pricing actions around our product and service offerings to mitigate our exposure to inflationary pressures and benefited from these adjustments during the first half of 2023, and expect to continue to benefit from such adjustments in the second half of 2023. We continue to remain focused on improving our supplier network, engineering alternative designs and working to reduce supply shortages and effectively manage costs. In addition, we continue to actively manage our inventory in an effort to enable continuity of supply and services to our customers, which includes making changes that diversify the footprint of our supply chain operations. We expect to maintain elevated levels of inventory until supply conditions stabilize.
We believe our existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, along with other short-term liquidity arrangements, will continue to be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements associated with our existing operations. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants in the 2021 unsecured revolving credit facility as of July 1, 2023. Additionally, we have no bond maturities until 2024. We continue to assess our operating expenses and identify cost reducing initiatives, including lower travel costs, contractor spend and reducing our real estate footprint.
Lastly, as a result of the challenging market conditions described above, we evaluated whether there were any impairment indicators as of July 1, 2023, which included a review of our receivables and contract assets, inventory, right-of-use lease assets, long-lived assets, investments, goodwill and intangible assets. As of the end of the second quarter of 2023, we concluded our assets were fairly stated and recoverable.

Recent Events
CMA Update
In October 2021, the United Kingdom’s Competition and Markets Authority (the "CMA") announced that it had opened a market investigation into the Mobile Radio Network Services market. This investigation included Airwave, our private mobile radio communications network that we acquired in 2016. Airwave provides mission-critical voice and data communications to emergency services and other agencies in Great Britain.
On April 5, 2023, the CMA issued its final decision which stated it will impose a prospective price control on Airwave. We strongly disagree with the CMA’s final decision and we filed an appeal with the Competition Appeal Tribunal ("CAT") on June 5, 2023. On July 31, 2023, the CMA adopted a remedies order which implements the price control set out in its final decision; however, the remedies order has been suspended until the CAT's judgment on our appeal. The CAT appeal hearing took place on August 2 and 3, 2023. Depending on the outcome, further appeals may occur throughout 2023 and 2024.
Based on the adoption of the remedies order, beginning August 1, 2023, revenue under the Airwave contract will be recognized in accordance with the prospective price control until a successful appeal. Further, as a result of the issuance of a final decision from the CMA during the quarter ended July 1, 2023, we have tested our Airwave asset group for impairment, noting the assets are expected to be recoverable.

Results of Operations—Three months ended July 1, 2023 compared to three months ended July 2, 2022
The results of operations for the second quarter of 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. Historically, we have experienced higher revenues in the fourth quarter as compared to the rest of the quarters of our fiscal year as a result of the purchasing patterns of our customers.
We use the following U.S. GAAP key financial performance measures to manage our business on a consolidated basis and by reporting segment, and to monitor and assess our results of operations:
Net sales: a measure of our revenue for the current period.
Operating earnings: a measure of our earnings from operations, before non-operating expenses and income taxes.
Operating margins: a measure of our operating earnings as a percentage of total net sales.
Considered together, we believe these measures are strong indicators of our overall performance and our ability to create shareholder value. A discussion of our results of operations and financial condition follows.

At July 1, 2023, $356 million of the $710 million cash and cash equivalents balance was held in the U.S. and $354 million was held in other countries, with $68 million held in the United Kingdom.
Operating Activities
The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities from the first half of 2022 to the first half of 2023 was driven primarily by a one time $70 million cash tax payment related to an intellectual property reorganization completed in 2022 and an increase in working capital; partially offset by higher earnings, net of non-cash charges.
Investing Activities
The decrease in cash flows used for investing activities in the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2022 was primarily due to a $561 million decrease in cash used for acquisitions and investments.
Financing Activities
The increase in cash flows used for financing activities in the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2022 was primarily driven by (see also further discussion in the "Debt," "Share Repurchase Program" and "Dividends" sections below in this Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q):
$595 million in net proceeds from issuance of debt in the first half of 2022 that did not recur in the first half of 2023;

Debt
We had outstanding debt of $6.0 billion at July 1, 2023, none of which was current. We had outstanding debt of $6.0 billion at December 31, 2022, $1 million of which was current.
We have a $2.25 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility scheduled to mature in March 2026 (the "2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement"). The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes a letter of credit sub-limit and fronting commitments of $450 million. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the prime rate plus the applicable margin, or at a spread above the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), at our option. An annual facility fee is payable on the undrawn amount of the credit line. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment if our credit rating changes. We
37


must comply with certain customary covenants including a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with our financial covenants as of July 1, 2023. On February 8, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement to replace the interest rate benchmark from London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to SOFR.
On September 5, 2019, we entered into an agreement with Silver Lake Partners to issue $1.0 billion of 1.75% senior convertible notes which mature in September 2024 ("Senior Convertible Notes"). Interest on these notes is payable semiannually. The Senior Convertible Notes became fully convertible on September 5, 2021. The notes are convertible based on a conversion rate of 4.9670 per $1,000 principal amount (which is equal to conversion price of $201.33 per share) adjusted for dividends declared through the date of settlement. In November 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved an irrevocable determination requiring the future settlement of the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes to be settled in cash.
We have an unsecured commercial paper program, backed by the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement, under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $2.2 billion outstanding at any one time. Proceeds from the issuances of the notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. As of July 1, 2023 we had no outstanding debt under the commercial paper program.
We have investment grade ratings on our senior unsecured long-term debt. Subsequent to the quarter, on July 31, 2023, Moody's Investors Service upgraded our credit rating to Baa2 from Baa3. We continue to believe that we will be able to maintain sufficient access to the capital markets.
Share Repurchase Program
During the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, we paid an aggregate of $224 million and $364 million, respectively, including transaction costs, to repurchase approximately 0.8 million and 1.3 million shares at an average price of $283.39 and $274.66 per share. As of July 1, 2023, we had used approximately $15.1 billion of the share repurchase authority to repurchase shares, leaving $921 million of authority available for future repurchases.
Dividends
During the second quarter of 2023 we paid $148 million in cash dividends to holders of our common stock. During the first half of 2023 we paid $296 million in cash dividends to holders of our common stock. Subsequent to the quarter, we paid an additional $147 million in cash dividends to holders of our common stock.
Adequate Internal Funding Resources
We believe that we have adequate internal resources available to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet our expected working capital, capital expenditure and cash requirements for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future, as supported by the level of cash and cash equivalents in the U.S., the ability to repatriate funds from foreign jurisdictions, cash provided by operations, as well as liquidity provided by our commercial paper program backed by the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement.
We do not anticipate a material decrease to net future cash flows generated from operations.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In addition to the matter referenced below, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that have not been fully resolved and which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Form 10-K, other than the updates below.
We are exposed to risks under large, multi-year system and services contracts that may negatively impact our business.
We enter into large, multi-year system and services contracts with municipal, state, and nationwide government and commercial customers. In some cases, we may not be the prime contractor and may be dependent on other third-parties such as commercial carriers or systems integrators. Our entry into these contracts exposes us to risks, including among others: (i) technological risks, (ii) risk of defaults by third-parties on whom we are relying for products or services as part of our offering or who are the prime contractors, (iii) financial risks, including potential penalties applicable to us if performance commitments in managed services contracts are not met, the estimates inherent in projecting costs associated with such contracts, the fact that such contracts often only receive partial funding initially and may be cancellable on short notice with limited penalties, our inability to recover front-loaded capital expenditures in long-term managed services contracts, the impact of the termination of funding for a government program or the insolvency of a commercial customer, and the impact of currency fluctuations and inflation, (iv) cybersecurity risk, especially in managed services contracts with public safety and commercial customers that process data, and (v) political or regulatory risk, especially related to the contracts with government customers, including our Airwave and Emergency Services Network (“ESN”) government contracts in the UK.
For example, with respect to financial risks of such contracts, in the third quarter of 2022, we realized a fixed asset impairment loss of $147 million related to our ESN service contract with the Home Office of the UK. Moreover, with respect to the political or regulatory risks of such contracts, in October 2021, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (the “CMA”) announced that it had opened a market investigation into the Mobile Radio Network Services market. This investigation included Airwave, our private mobile radio communications network that we acquired in 2016. Airwave provides mission-critical voice and data communications to emergency services and other agencies in Great Britain. In April 2023, the CMA published a final decision which stated the CMA will impose a prospective price control on the Airwave contract. We disagreed with the CMA’s decision and filed an appeal in June 2023 with the Competition Appeal Tribunal ("CAT"). In addition, on July 31, 2023, the CMA adopted a remedies order which implements the price control set out in its final decision. The remedies order has been suspended until the CAT's judgment on our appeal, however, if the appeal is unsuccessful, the remedies order will become effective.
Our employees, customers, suppliers and outsource partners are located throughout the world and, as a result, we face risks that other companies that are not global may not face.
Our customers and suppliers are located throughout the world. In 2022, 30% of our revenue was generated outside of North America. In addition, 47% of our employees were employed outside of North America in 2022. Most of our suppliers' operations are outside the U.S.
A significant amount of manufacturing and research and development of our products, as well as administrative and sales facilities, takes place outside of the U.S. If the operations in these facilities are disrupted, our business, financial condition, results of operation, and cash flows could be negatively impacted.
Because of these sizable sales and operations outside of the U.S., we have more complexity in our operations and are exposed to a unique set of global risks that could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, including but not limited to: (i) currency fluctuations, including but not limited to increased pressure to agree to established currency conversion rates and cost of living adjustments as a result of foreign currency fluctuations, (ii) import/export regulations, tariffs, trade barriers and trade disputes, customs classifications and certifications, including but not limited to changes in classifications or errors or omissions related to such classifications and certifications, (iii) compliance with and changes in U.S. and non-U.S. laws or regulations related to antitrust and competition (such as the CMA’s findings and remedies order in connection with its market investigation into the Mobile Radio Network Services market), anti-corruption (such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act), trade, labor and employment, environmental, health and safety, technical standards, consumer protection, intellectual property and data privacy, (iv) tax issues, such as tax law changes, variations in tax laws from country to country and as compared to the U.S., obligations under tax incentive agreements, and
40


difficulties in securing local country approvals for cash repatriations, (v) reduced financial flexibility given that a significant percentage of our cash and cash equivalents is currently held outside of the U.S., (vi) challenges in collecting accounts receivable, (vii) cultural and language differences, (viii) instability in economic or political conditions, including inflation, recession and actual or anticipated military or political conflicts (such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict) and terrorism, (ix) natural disasters, (x) public health issues or outbreaks or pandemics, such as the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, and (xi) litigation in foreign court systems and foreign enforcement or administrative proceedings.
Additionally, the benefits we receive under various agreements we have entered into with non-U.S. governments and agencies relate to our operations and/or sales in such foreign jurisdictions. If our operations or sales are not at levels originally anticipated, we may be at risk of having to reimburse benefits already granted, which could increase our cost of doing business in such foreign jurisdictions.
