Motorola reports quarterly sales and earnings shift by division
Motorola Inc. today announced a mixed first quarter with overall sales of 199.58 million dollars, down from 204.25 million last year and earnings at 41 cents versus 44 cents. The Government Electronics Division in Scottsdale posted higher sales and earnings, while the Phoenix Semiconductor Products Division saw higher earnings but lower sales. The Communications Division also rose in sales though its earnings fell, due to spending on marketing groups abroad and product development. Robert Galvin cited federal funding gaps as a factor and expected changes in the second quarter, noting the division performance remains exceptional despite shortfalls in contract bookings.
