Written By Unknown on Kamis, 01 Mei 2014 | 21.43

Motorola Solutions, which makes walkie-talkies, rugged mobile computers and tablets, forecast weaker-than-expected quarterly results after reporting first-quarter revenue below estimates as orders from government and businesses fell.

The company said it expects second-quarter adjusted profit of 58-64 cents per share. It also forecast a 5-8% fall in revenue, implying revenue of $1.94-2 billion.

Analysts on average were expecting a profit of 84 cents per share on revenue of $2.05 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Motorola expects revenue to fall at a low single-digit rate for the full year.

"We will accelerate ongoing cost actions to improve our competitiveness and operating leverage going forward," chief executive Greg Brown said in a statement.

The company said net income fell to $127 million, or 49 cents per share, for the first quarter ended March 29, from $192 million, or 68 cents per share, a year earlier.

Excluding items, the company earned 50 cents per share, in line with analysts' estimates.

Revenue fell 9% to $1.8 billion. Analysts expected sales of $1.82 billion.

Sales in its government unit fell 11% to $1.2 billion. The business, which includes the US government as its largest customer, provides land-mobile-radio systems, walkie-talkies and sells video surveillance systems.

Sales in its enterprise business fell 4% due to lower demand for iDEN wireless communication products.

Motorola will be retaining its iDEN products portfolio after it sells its enterprise business to barcode printer maker Zebra Technologies for $3.45 billion.

Shares of the company closed at $63.58 on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday.
