Motorola Earnings Point to Strong Smartphone Sales Ahead

Motorola posted its financial results for the second quarter of 2010, reporting solid overall results and smartphone sales that hint at better times ahead. Motorola’s sales in Q2 were $5.4 billion, while earnings were $162 million, up from $26 million in the second quarter of 2009.

Motorola’s Mobile Devices segment sales were $1.7 billion, down 6% compared with Q2 2009. Operating earnings for the segment were $87 million, but this includes income from a legal settlement of $228 million. However, having shipped 2.7 million smartphones and 8.3 million handsets in Q2 2010, Motorola sees its Droid X and the smartphone segment as the key to success in the future.

“The Droid X launch has been very well received… As we continue to execute on our business strategy, we are in a strong position to continue improving our share in the rapidly growing smartphone market and improving our operating performance,” said Sanjay Jha, Motorola co-chief executive officer and CEO of Motorola Mobility.

Although it’s not reflected in this financial report, Motorola also recently sold its wireless network unit to Nokia Siemens Networks for $1.2 billion.
