Motorola Solutions was able to beat market estimates, backed by incremental revenues from Airwave Solutions and a decline in expenses due to cost control initiatives and a strong dollar. However, its underlying results were pressured by economic uncertainty in Latin America and Europe, and negative currency headwinds. The table below provides an overview of the results.

On the plus side, the company did very well in North America, where both product and services revenues increased in low-single digits. Also, the company’s product backlog increased 43% year over year to $8.3 billion, driven by contract wins, implying that Motorola has a lot to work with in the near future.
