Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except as noted)
1.Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 value associated with remaining performance obligations which were not yet satisfied as of September 30, 2023 was $9.3 billion. A total of $4.9 billion was from Products and Systems Integration performance obligations that were not yet satisfied as of September 30, 2023, of which $3.1 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 $4.4 billion was from Software and Services performance obligations that were not yet satisfied as of September 30, 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 $1.5 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.

The Company did not reverse any revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2023 related to performance obligations satisfied, or partially satisfied, in previous periods, compared to $3 million of reversals for the three months ended October 1, 2022, primarily driven by changes in the estimates of progress on system contracts. Revenue of $18 million was reversed during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied, in previous periods, primarily driven by changes in the estimates of progress on system contracts, compared to $23 million of reversals for the nine months ended October 1, 2022.

During the nine months ended September 30, 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 the nine months ended September 30, 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 Sheets.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $1.0 billion of 1.75% senior convertible notes outstanding, which mature on September 15, 2024 (the "Senior Convertible Notes"). 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 September 30, 2023. The value by which the Senior Convertible Notes exceeded their principal amount if converted as of September 30, 2023 was $398 million.

During the three months ended October 1, 2022, the Company recorded a fixed asset impairment loss of $147 million related to assets constructed and used in the deployment of the Emergency Services Network ("ESN") service contract with the Home Office of the United Kingdom (the "Home Office"). The recognized impairment was based on the Company's expectation that, more likely than not, the ESN long-lived asset group will be disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life as a result of the Company's early exit from its ESN contract with the Home Office. The impairment loss was recorded in the Software and Services segment within cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022 was $47 million and $45 million, respectively. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022 was $134 million and $137 million, respectively.
