Operating earnings were $498 million, compared with operating earnings of $396 million for the same period in 2004. The business delivered record second-quarter unit shipments, sales and profits. Sales, earnings and market share were up as a result of “must-have” products that combine innovative style, leading technology and quality.

• Shipped 33.9 million handsets — an increase of 41 percent compared to the same period in 2004. An all-time record.

• Increased strong No. 2 market share position to an estimated 18.1 percent global market share. During the quarter, Motorola solidified its leadership in the Americas by strengthening its No. 1 position in North America and retaining its No. 1 position in Latin America. In Europe, Motorola posted a record quarter and moved ahead to the No. 2 market-share position. In the High-Growth Markets region (Middle East, Africa, India and Southeast Asia), Motorola gained more than two points of share compared to the first quarter, driven by increased sales across multiple price tiers.

• Began shipping 15 new devices during the quarter, including the M1000 3G/UMTS handset in Japan, and the E815 CDMA and i836 iDEN handsets in North America. Five of these new devices are for CDMA networks, three for GSM, two for 3G-UMTS/WCDMA, and five for iDEN.

• Continued to increase investments in future growth drivers, including the expansion of R&D teams in Europe focused on value-added services, product development for 3G and 4G devices, expanded deployment of the Linux+Java Open Source software platform, and global brand development and marketing to support new product launches in the second half of 2005.
