Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Motorola Solutions, Inc.
The net earnings exhibit considerable volatility over the analyzed period. Initially, earnings were strong in 2005 and 2006, with amounts exceeding $3.6 billion. However, a significant downturn occurred between 2007 and 2009, including sharp losses especially in 2008 where the loss reached approximately $4.2 billion. Following this period, earnings recovered progressively from 2010 onward, showing a steady upward trend with some fluctuations, culminating in a peak of $1.7 billion by 2023. The data suggests a cyclical pattern with a notable recovery post-recessionary losses.
Net Sales
Net sales demonstrate a declining trend from 2005 through 2011, dropping from approximately $36.8 billion to around $8.2 billion. This decline is steep and persistent until 2010, followed by a rapid decrease by 2011. After this low point, sales stabilize and begin a gradual recovery from 2012 onward, increasing each year to reach nearly $10 billion by 2023. The initial decline may be indicative of divestitures or market contractions, while the subsequent growth period suggests renewed sales momentum.
Net Profit Margin
The net profit margin reflects pronounced fluctuations throughout the years. Early margins were solid at around 12.4% in 2005 but decreased significantly in the following years, turning negative in 2007 and reaching a low of -14.08% in 2008, coinciding with net losses. From 2009 onwards, margins largely recovered and stabilized between approximately 9% and 17%, with the highest margin recorded in 2023 at 17.13%. This recovery and margin growth indicate improved operational efficiency and profitability after a period of financial distress.
