Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except as noted)
1.Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 3, 2021 and for the three months ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to state fairly the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, Statements of Comprehensive Income, Statements of Stockholders' Equity (Deficit), and Statements of Cash Flows of Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“Motorola Solutions” or the “Company”) for all periods presented.
The Company operates on a 52-week fiscal year, with each fiscal year ending on December 31. With respect to each fiscal quarter, the Company operates on a 13-week fiscal quarter, with all fiscal quarters ending on a Saturday.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the "Form 10-K"). The results of operations for the three months ended April 3, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Change in Presentation
As further described in the Form 10-K, during the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company updated its revenue disaggregation presentation of major products and services to provide a more comprehensive view of technologies within the Company's reporting segments. Accordingly, the Company now reports net sales in the following three major products and services (which the Company refers to as “technologies” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”)): Land Mobile Radio Mission Critical Communications (“LMR” or “LMR Mission Critical Communications”), Video Security and Analytics, and Command Center Software.
•LMR Mission Critical Communications: Infrastructure, devices (two-way radio and broadband, including both for public safety and Professional Commercial Radio ("PCR")) and software that enable communications, inclusive of installation and integration, backed by services, to assure availability, security and resiliency.
•Video Security and Analytics: Cameras (fixed, body-worn, in-vehicle), access control, infrastructure, video management, software and artificial intelligence-enabled analytics that enable visibility “on scene” and bring attention to what’s important.
•Command Center Software: Software suite that enables collaboration and seamless information sharing through the public safety workflow from 911 call to case closure.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity," which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments. The new guidance removes the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature or a beneficial conversion feature. In addition, the new standard provides guidance on calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share. The ASU clarifies that the average market price should be used to calculate the diluted earnings per share denominator when the exercise price or the number of shares that may be issued is variable. The ASU is effective for the Company on January 1, 2022, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The ASU permits the use of either a full or modified retrospective method of adoption. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements and disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740),” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and streamlining other areas of accounting for income taxes. Portions of the amendment within the ASU require retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective adoption methods. The Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12 as of January 1, 2021 on a prospective basis and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial statement disclosures.

Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table summarizes the disaggregation of the Company's revenue by segment, geography, major product and service type and customer type for the three months ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020, consistent with the information reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker for evaluating the financial performance of the Company's reportable segments:

Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the revenue that is expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, as of the end of a period. The transaction values associated with remaining performance obligations which were not yet satisfied as of April 3, 2021 was $7.2 billion. A total of $3.3 billion was from Products and Systems Integration performance obligations that are not yet satisfied, of which $1.6 billion is expected to be recognized in the next twelve months. The remaining amounts will generally be satisfied over time as systems are implemented. A total of $3.9 billion was from Software and Services performance obligations that were not yet satisfied as of April 3, 2021. The determination of Software and Services performance obligations that are not satisfied takes into account a contract term that may be limited by the customer’s ability to terminate for convenience. Where termination for convenience exists in the Company's service contracts, its disclosure of the remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied assumes the contract term is limited until renewal. The Company expects to recognize $1.5 billion from unsatisfied Software and Services performance obligations over the next twelve months, with the remaining performance obligations to be recognized over time as services are performed and software is implemented.

Earnings Per Common Share
The computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share is as follows:
Amounts attributable to Motorola Solutions, Inc. common stockholders
  Three Months Ended
April 3, 2021 March 28, 2020
Basic earnings per common share:
Earnings $ 244  $ 197 
Weighted average common shares outstanding 169.3  170.6 
Per share amount $ 1.44  $ 1.15 
Diluted earnings per common share:
Earnings $ 244  $ 197 
Weighted average common shares outstanding 169.3  170.6 
Add effect of dilutive securities:
Share-based awards 3.9  5.3 
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 173.2  175.9 
Per share amount $ 1.41  $ 1.12 
In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended April 3, 2021, the assumed exercise of 0.3 million options, including 0.1 million subject to market based contingent option agreements, were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended March 28, 2020, 0.2 million options were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
As of April 3, 2021, the Company had $1.0 billion of 1.75% Senior Convertible Notes outstanding which mature on September 15, 2024 ("Senior Convertible Notes"). The notes are convertible based on a conversion rate of 4.9140 per $1,000 principal amount (which is equal to an initial conversion price of $203.50 per share). In the event of conversion, the Company intends to settle the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes in cash. Because of the Company’s intention to settle the par value of the Senior Convertible Notes in cash, Motorola Solutions does not reflect any shares underlying the Senior Convertible Notes in its diluted weighted average shares outstanding until the average stock price per share for the period exceeds the conversion price. Only the number of shares that would be issuable (under the treasury stock method of accounting for share dilution) will be included, which is based upon the amount by which the average stock price exceeds the conversion price of $203.50. The conversion price is adjusted for dividends declared through the date of settlement. For the period ended April 3, 2021, there was no dilutive effect of the Senior Convertible Notes on diluted earnings per share attributable to Motorola Solutions, Inc. as the average stock price for the period outstanding was below the conversion price.

5.    Debt and Credit Facilities
On March 24, 2021, the Company entered into a $2.25 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in March 2026, which can be used for general corporate purposes and letters of credit (the "2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement"). The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s $2.2 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility scheduled to mature in April 2022. The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes a letter of credit sub-limit and fronting commitments of $450 million. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the prime rate plus the applicable margin, or at a spread above the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), at the Company's option. The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes provisions allowing the Company to replace LIBOR with a replacement benchmark rate in the future under certain conditions defined in the agreement. An annual facility fee is payable on the undrawn amount of the credit line. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment if the Company's credit rating changes. The Company must comply with certain customary covenants including a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of April 3, 2021.
The Company has an unsecured commercial paper program, backed by the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement, under which the Company may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $2.2 billion outstanding at any one time. Proceeds from the issuances of the notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The notes are issued at a zero-coupon rate and are issued at a discount which reflects the interest component. At maturity, the notes are paid back in full including the interest component. The notes are not redeemable prior to maturity. As of April 3, 2021 the Company had no outstanding debt under the commercial paper program.

6.    Risk Management
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $1.2 billion for each of the periods ended April 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company does not believe these financial instruments should subject it to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions.
The following table shows the five largest net notional amounts of the positions to buy or sell foreign currency as of April 3, 2021, and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2020: 
  Notional Amount
Net Buy (Sell) by Currency April 3, 2021 December 31, 2020
Euro $ 170  $ 177 
Canadian dollar 50  61 
Norwegian krone 35  32 
Chinese renminbi (94) (90)
Australian dollar (82) (88)

Counterparty Risk
The use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties. However, the Company’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instruments when the derivative is in an asset position. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk. As of April 3, 2021, all of the counterparties had investment grade credit ratings. As of April 3, 2021, the Company had $7 million of exposure to aggregate credit risk with all counterparties.
The following tables summarize the fair values and locations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of all derivative financial instruments held by the Company as of April 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Forward points recognized Other income (expense) —  1 
Undesignated derivatives recognized Other income (expense) (8) (16)

Net Investment Hedges
The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts with contract terms of 12 to 15 months to hedge against the effect of the British pound and the Euro exchange rate fluctuations against the U.S. dollar on a portion of its net investments in certain European operations. The Company recognizes changes in the fair value of the net investment hedges as a component of foreign currency translation adjustments within other comprehensive income to offset a portion of the change in translated value of the net investments being hedged, until the investments are sold or liquidated. As of April 3, 2021, the Company had €100 million of net investment hedges in certain Euro functional subsidiaries and £125 million of net investment hedges in certain British pound functional subsidiaries.
The Company excludes the difference between the spot rate and the forward rate of the forward contract from its assessment of hedge effectiveness. The effect of the excluded components will be amortized on a straight line basis and recognized through interest expense.

7.    Income Taxes
At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of its annual effective income tax rate. Tax expense in interim periods is calculated at the estimated annual effective tax rate plus or minus the tax effects of items of income and expense that are discrete to the period. The estimate used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis may change in subsequent interim periods.
The following table provides details of income taxes:
Three Months Ended
April 3, 2021 March 28, 2020
Net earnings before income taxes $ 289  $ 224 
Income tax expense 44  26 
Effective tax rate 15  % 12  %
During the three months ended April 3, 2021, the Company recorded $44 million of net tax expense, resulting in an effective tax rate of 15%. During the three months ended March 28, 2020, the Company recorded $26 million of net tax expense, resulting in an effective tax rate of 12%. The effective tax rates for each of the three months ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020 was different from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% due to state tax expense, offset primarily by tax benefits related to share-based compensation. The effective tax rate for the three months ended April 3, 2021 of 15% is higher than the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 28, 2020 of 12%, primarily due to lower tax benefits on share-based compensation.

Legal Matters
On March 14, 2017, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “Court”) against Hytera Communications Corporation Limited of Shenzhen, China; Hytera America, Inc.; and Hytera Communications America (West), Inc. (collectively, “Hytera”), alleging trade secret theft and copyright infringement and seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, compensatory damages, and punitive damages. On February 14, 2020, the Company announced that a jury decided in the Company's favor in its trade secret theft and copyright infringement case. In connection with this verdict, the jury awarded the Company $345.8 million in compensatory damages and $418.8 million in punitive damages, for a total of $764.6 million. The Court denied Hytera’s motion for a new trial on October 20, 2020. On December 17, 2020, the Court denied the Company’s motion for a permanent injunction, finding instead that Hytera must pay the Company a forward-looking reasonable royalty on products that use the Company’s stolen trade secrets. The royalty rate is yet to be determined, and will be set by the Court absent agreement of the parties.
On January 11, 2021, the Court granted Hytera’s motion for certain equitable relief and reduced the $764.6 million judgment award to $543.7 million. That same day, the Court also granted the Company’s motion for pre-judgment interest, although the precise amount of interest owed to the Company by Hytera is still to be determined by the Court. On March 25, 2021, the Court entered rulings favorable to the Company with respect to several of the Company's post-trial motions, including the Company's motion for attorneys' fees and its motion to require Hytera to turn over certain assets in satisfaction of the Company’s judgment award.
On May 27, 2020, Hytera America, Inc. and Hytera Communications America (West), Inc. each filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Company filed motions in the Bankruptcy Court to dismiss the bankruptcy proceedings in July 2020. On January 22, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an agreed order, allowing a partial sale of Hytera's U.S. assets in the bankruptcy proceedings. The proposed sale does not include Hytera inventory accused of including the Company’s intellectual property.

Executive Overview
Business Overview
During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company updated its revenue disaggregation presentation of major products and services to provide a more comprehensive view of technologies within our reporting segments. Accordingly, the Company now reports net sales in the following three major products and services (which we refer to as “technologies” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q): Land Mobile Radio Mission Critical Communication (“LMR” or “LMR Mission Critical Communications”), Video Security and Analytics and Command Center Software.
•LMR Mission Critical Communications: Infrastructure, devices (two-way radio and broadband, including both for public safety and Professional Commercial Radio ("PCR")) and software that enable communications, inclusive of installation and integration, backed by services, to assure availability, security and resiliency.
•Video Security and Analytics: Cameras (fixed, body-worn, in-vehicle), access control, infrastructure, video management, software and artificial intelligence-enabled analytics that enable visibility “on scene” and bring attention to what’s important.
•Command Center Software: Software suite that enables collaboration and seamless information sharing through the public safety workflow from 911 call to case closure.

First Quarter Financial Results
•Net sales were $1.8 billion in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2020.
•Operating earnings were $298 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $259 million in the first quarter of 2020.
•Net earnings attributable to Motorola Solutions, Inc. were $244 million, or $1.41 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $197 million, or $1.12 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2020.
•Operating cash flow increased $62 million to $370 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $308 million in the first quarter of 2020.
•We repurchased $170 million of common stock and paid $121 million in dividends in the first quarter of 2021.
COVID-19
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been a broad number of governmental and commercial actions taken to limit the spread of the virus, including social distancing measures, stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions, business shutdowns and slowdowns. We continue to adhere to applicable governmental and commercial restrictions and to assess the impact on our employees, customers, communities, liquidity and financial position.
We continue to abide by a number of measures in an effort to protect the health and well-being of our employees and customers, including having office workers work remotely, reducing employee travel, withdrawing from certain industry events, increasing the frequency of cleaning services, encouraging face coverings, and using thermal scanning. We have continued to ensure customer continuity by fulfilling several emergency orders, completing remote software maintenance where possible, and continuing to service our mission-critical networks on-site as needed to ensure seamless operations. Our sales teams have also continued to improve virtual engagement with our customers. Additionally, our engineering teams have adapted our solutions offerings to equip our customers with the latest technology in an effort to protect their workplaces from the spread of COVID-19. Specifically, in Video Security and Analytics, we have adapted our software and hardware offerings to provide analytics addressing occupancy counting, face mask detection, and thermal detection capabilities.
We believe our existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, along with other short-term liquidity arrangements, will continue to be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements associated with our existing operations. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants in the 2021 unsecured revolving credit facility as of April 3, 2021. Additionally, we have no bond maturities until 2023. We continue to assess our operating expenses and identify cost reducing initiatives, including lower travel costs, contractor spend and reducing our real estate footprint. In addition, our supply chain partners have been supportive and continue to work to fulfill the necessary service levels to the Company and its customers.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic continued to influence our activities in the first quarter of 2021, as described above, the negative impacts on our business from COVID-19 have begun to ease. Specifically, in our Software and Services segment, with the largely recurring nature of the business and our strong backlog position, we continue to expect that the impacts on net sales and operating margin will be limited in 2021. Within the Products and Systems Integration segment, we are encouraged by strong LMR backlog, and the resiliency of the Video Security and Analytics technology that experienced growth in the first quarter of 2021 and which we expect to continue to grow for the remainder of 2021. In addition, in March 2021, the President of the United States signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the "ARPA"), which is intended to provide economic stimulus, specifically additional funding to state and local governments, education and healthcare, as well as other funding relief provisions, in order to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to evaluate the potential impact of the ARPA on our business and results of operations.
Lastly, we evaluated whether there were any impairment indicators as of April 3, 2021, which included a review of our receivables and contract assets, inventory, right-of-use lease assets, long-lived assets, investments, goodwill and intangible assets. As of the end of the first quarter of 2021, we concluded our assets were fairly stated and recoverable.

Results of Operations—Three months ended April 3, 2021 compared to three months ended March 28, 2020
The results of operations for the first quarter of 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. Historically, we have experienced higher revenues in the fourth quarter as compared to the rest of the quarters of our fiscal year as a result of the purchasing patterns of our customers.
We use the following U.S. GAAP key financial performance measures to manage our business on a consolidated basis and by reporting segment, and to monitor and assess our results of operations:
•Net sales—a measure of our revenue for the current period.
•Operating earnings—a measure of our earnings from operations, before non-operating expenses and income taxes.
•Operating margins—a measure of our operating earnings as a percentage of total net sales.
Considered together, we believe these measures are strong indicators of our overall performance and our ability to create shareholder value. A discussion of our results of operations and financial condition follows.

Net Sales
The Products and Systems Integration segment’s net sales represented 57% of our net sales in the first quarter of 2021 and 60% in the first quarter of 2020. The Software and Services segment’s net sales represented 43% of our net sales in the first quarter of 2021 and 40% in the first quarter of 2020.
Net sales increased $118 million, or 7%, in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. The $22 million, or 2%, increase in net sales within the Products and Systems Integration segment was driven by an 11% increase in the International region partially offset by a 1% decrease in the North America region. The $96 million, or 15%, increase in net sales within the Software and Services segment was driven by a 21% increase in the North America region and a 7% increase in the International region. Net sales includes:
•an increase in the Products and Systems Integration segment, inclusive of $35 million of revenue from acquisitions, driven by an increase in Video Security and Analytics and PCR, partially offset by a decrease in public safety LMR;
•an increase in the Software and Services segment, inclusive of $13 million of revenue from acquisitions, driven by an increase in LMR services, Video Security and Analytics, and Command Center Software; and
•$32 million from favorable currency rates.
28

Regional results include:
•a 6% increase in the North America region, inclusive of revenue from acquisitions, driven by an increase in LMR services, Video Security and Analytics, PCR and Command Center Software, partially offset by a decline in public safety LMR products, which were impacted by supply constraints; and
•a 9% increase in the International region, inclusive of revenue from acquisitions, primarily driven by an increase in Video Security and Analytics and public safety LMR.
Products and Systems Integration
The 2% increase in the Products and Systems Integration segment was driven by the following:
•$32 million, or 24% growth in Video Security and Analytics, inclusive of revenue from acquisitions, driven by both the International and North America regions;
•$10 million, or 1% decrease in LMR, primarily impacted by supply constraints in North America public safety LMR, partially offset by an increase in PCR sales; and
•$15 million from favorable currency rates.
Software and Services
The 15% increase in the Software and Services segment was driven by the following:
•$61 million, or 12% growth in LMR services, inclusive of revenue from acquisitions, driven by both the North America and International regions;
•$21 million, or 31% growth in Video Security and Analytics, inclusive of revenue from acquisitions, driven by both the International and North America regions;

Gross margin $ 860  $ 787  9  %
Gross margin was 48.5% of net sales in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 47.6% in the first quarter of 2020. The primary drivers of this increase were:
•higher gross margin within the Software and Services segment, inclusive of acquisitions, primarily driven by higher gross margin contribution from sales growth and improved mix of service offerings; and
•higher gross margin in the Products and Systems Integration segment, inclusive of acquisitions, as a result of LMR project mix within North America.

SG&A expenses were 17.1% of net sales in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 20.6% of net sales in the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to reduced legal expenses, indirect expenses, travel expenses and share-based compensation expenses. The overall reduction in SG&A expenses was partially offset by higher expenses associated with acquired businesses and employee incentive costs.

Other charges increased by $60 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. The change was driven primarily by the following:

Income tax expense $ 44  $ 26 
Income tax expense increased by $18 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020, resulting in an effective tax rate of 15%. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended April 3, 2021 is higher than the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 28, 2020 of 12%, primarily due to lower tax benefits on share-based compensation.

Reorganization of Business
During the first quarter of 2021, we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $16 million including $14 million of charges recorded within Other charges and $2 million in Costs of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Included in the $16 million were charges of $18 million related to employee separation costs, partially offset by $2 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed.
During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $18 million including $12 million of charges in Other charges and $6 million of charges in Costs of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Included in the $18 million were charges of $22 million related to employee separation costs and $4 million reversals for accruals no longer needed.

At April 3, 2021, $834 million of the $1.3 billion cash and cash equivalents balance was held in the U.S. and $486 million was held in other countries, with $122 million held in the United Kingdom.
Operating Activities
The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities from the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2021 was driven primarily by an increase in earnings as a result of increased sales volume and improved working capital, partially offset by higher income tax payments.
Investing Activities
The increase in cash flows used for investing activities from the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to:
31

•$56 million decrease in the proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment driven by the sale of a European manufacturing facility in the first quarter of 2020; and
•partially offset by $34 million decrease in cash used for acquisitions and investments.
Financing Activities
The increase in cash flows used for financing activities from the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by (also see further discussion in "Debt," "Share Repurchase Program" and "Dividends" below):
•$800 million of proceeds received from the draw on our syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility during the first quarter of 2020;
•$12 million increase in the payment of dividends in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020;
•$7 million related to the payment of revolving credit facility renewal fees in the first quarter of 2021;
•partially offset by an $83 million decrease in share repurchases in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020; and
•$40 million increase of net proceeds from the issuance of common stock in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020.
Sales of Receivables
The following table summarizes the proceeds received from sales of accounts receivable and long-term customer financing receivables for the three months ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020: 
  Three Months Ended
April 3, 2021 March 28, 2020
Contract-specific discounting facility $ 71  $ 44 
Accounts receivable sales proceeds —  24 
Long-term receivables sales proceeds 54  41 
Total proceeds from receivable sales $ 125  $ 109 
During the three months ended April 3, 2021, we utilized a contract-specific receivable discounting facility which began during the three months ended March 28, 2020, resulting in accounts receivable sales of $71 million. The net benefit to our operating cash flow from the utilization of the receivable discounting facility for the three months ended April 3, 2021 was $71 million, when adjusted for amounts that were collected under the commercial contract with the customer within the period in the absence of utilizing the discounting facility. The proceeds of our receivable sales are included in Operating activities within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Debt
We had outstanding debt of $5.2 billion at both April 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, including the current portions of $11 million and $12 million at April 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
On March 24, 2021, we entered into a $2.25 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in March 2026, which can be used for general corporate purposes and letters of credit (the "2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement"). The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement replaces our $2.2 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility scheduled to mature in April 2022. The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes a $450 million letter of credit sublimit and fronting commitments of $450 million. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the prime rate plus the applicable margin, or at a spread above the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), at our option. The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes provisions allowing us to replace LIBOR with a replacement benchmark rate in the future under certain conditions defined in the agreement. An annual facility fee is payable on the undrawn amount of the credit line. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment if our credit rating changes. We must comply with certain customary covenants including a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with the financial covenants as of April 3, 2021.
On September 5, 2019, we entered into an agreement with Silver Lake Partners to issue $1.0 billion of 1.75% senior convertible notes which mature in September 2024 ("Senior Convertible Notes"). Interest on these notes is payable semiannually. The notes are convertible anytime on or after two years from their issuance date, except in certain limited circumstances. The notes are convertible based on a conversion rate of 4.9140 per $1,000 principal amount (which is equal to an initial conversion price of $203.50 per share). In the event of conversion, we intend to settle the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes in cash. We recorded a debt liability associated with the Senior Convertible Notes by determining the fair value of an equivalent debt instrument without a conversion option. Using a discount rate of 2.45%, which was determined based on a review of relevant market data, we calculated the debt liability to be $986 million, indicating a $14 million discount to be
32

amortized over the expected life of the debt instrument. The remaining proceeds of $14 million were allocated to the conversion option and accordingly, increased Additional paid-in capital.
We have an unsecured commercial paper program, backed by the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement, under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $2.2 billion outstanding at any one time. Proceeds from the issuances of the notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. As of April 3, 2021 we had no outstanding debt under the commercial paper program.
We believe that we have adequate internal resources available to fund expected working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months as supported by the level of cash and cash equivalents in the U.S., the ability to repatriate funds from foreign jurisdictions, cash provided by operations, as well as liquidity provided by our commercial paper program backed by the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. Refer also to “COVID-19” in this Part I, Item 3 of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on our liquidity.
Share Repurchase Program
During the three months ended April 3, 2021, we paid an aggregate of $170 million, including transaction costs, to repurchase approximately 1.0 million shares at an average price of $175.53 per share. As of April 3, 2021, the Company had used approximately $13.5 billion of the share repurchase authority to repurchase shares, leaving $479 million of authority available for future repurchases. Subsequent to quarter end, the Board of Directors approved a $2.0 billion increase to the share repurchase program, raising the remaining authority for future repurchases to $2.5 billion.
Dividends
During the first quarter of 2021 we paid $121 million in cash dividends to holders of our common stock. Subsequent to the quarter, we paid an additional $121 million in cash dividends to holders of our common stock.
Long-Term Customer Financing Commitments
We had outstanding commitments to provide long-term financing to third parties totaling $82 million at April 3, 2021, compared to $78 million at December 31, 2020.
