for the Company on January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted. Portions of the amendment within the ASU require retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective adoption methods. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adoption on its financial statements and disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issuedadopted ASU No. 2018-14, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20) - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans,” which modifies the disclosure requirements for the defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans. The ASU is effective for the Company on2019-12 as of January 1, 2021 with earlyon a prospective basis and the adoption permitted. The ASU requires a retrospective adoption method. The Company doesof this standard did not believe the ASU will have a material impact on its financial statement disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires the Company to measure and recognize expected credit losses for financial assets held and not accounted for at fair value through net income. In November 2018, April 2019, May 2019 and November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” ASU No. 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments," ASU No. 2019-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief," and ASU No. 2019-11," Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. The Company adopted ASC 326 as of January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective transition approach for all credit losses. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and disclosures required under ASC 326 will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2020.
The Company considered the impact of adoption by reviewing historical losses in conjunction with current and future economic conditions on the following financial assets: i) cash equivalents, ii) accounts receivable, iii) contract assets and iv) long-term receivables. Historical losses for these financial assets were previously insignificant with the exception of accounts receivable. The Company estimates credit losses on accounts receivable based on historical losses and then takes into account estimates of current and future economic conditions. The Company’s historical loss model is based on past due customer receivable balances and considers past collection experience, historical write-offs as well as the customer’s overall financial condition. Customer receivables are considered past due if payments have not been received within the agreed invoice terms. These historical losses are aggregated based on the type of customer (Direct and Indirect) and the geographic region (North America and International). The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company's financial statements.
The following table displays the rollforward of the allowance for credit losses on the Company's trade receivables:

ForIn the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 28, 2020,April 3, 2021, the assumed exercise of 0.2 million employee stock options, were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended March 30, 2019, the assumed exercise of 0.50.3 million options, including 0.20.1 million subject to market based contingent option agreements, were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

As of March 28, 2020,April 3, 2021, the Company had $1.0 billion of 1.75% senior convertible notesSenior Convertible Notes outstanding which mature inon September 15, 2024 ("New 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 New Senior Convertible Notes in cash. Because of the Company’s intention to settle the par value of the New Senior Convertible Notes in cash, Motorola Solutions does not reflect any shares underlying the New 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 March 28, 2020,April 3, 2021, there was no dilutive effect of the New 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.

Recent DevelopmentsCOVID-19
In March 2020,response to the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic, by the World Health Organization (“WHO”). In response, 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 in an effortslowdowns. We continue to limit the spread of coronavirus. These events have resulted in a significant decline in global economic activity,adhere to applicable governmental and accordingly, we have assessedcommercial restrictions and to assess the impact on our employees, customers, communities, liquidity and financial position.
We have implementedcontinue 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, suspendingreducing employee travel, withdrawing from certain industry events, increasedincreasing the frequency of cleaning services, encouraging face coverings, and using thermal scanning. Additionally, weWe have ensuredcontinued to ensure customer continuity by fulfilling several emergency orders, completing remote software maintenance where possible, and visitation by field workerscontinuing to customer sites to keepservice our mission-critical networks operating.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 recognize the effectsbelieve our existing balances of the virus on first responders and front-line health care professionals and their families during this time. In response, our charitable foundation has committed $1 million in cash and in-kind donationscash 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 support of these groups. We have also reprioritized our foundation funding to support COVID-19 relief effortscompliance with all applicable covenants in the communities in which we work and serve.
We also assessed the adequacy of our liquidity. We believe the steps we have taken, over the past few years and months, have strengthened our ability to operate under the current conditions. These include the proactive withdrawal in March 2020 of $800 million from our2021 unsecured revolving credit facility as a precaution and to provide additional flexibility during the disruption in the financial markets. This leaves $1.4 billion of capacity on the committed facility.April 3, 2021. Additionally, we have no bond maturities until 2022.2023. 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.
We evaluatedAlthough the COVID-19 pandemic continued to influence our financial position during this economic slowdown.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 impact shouldimpacts on net sales and operating margin will be somewhat limited. In our Products and Systems Integration segment, the impact is likely to be more significant with the largest impact occurring during the second quarter. Reduced demand, particularlylimited in our professional commercial radio business (“PCR”), as well as delays in engagements with our state and local customers in the near term, will most likely lead to year-over-year sales declines for the segment in 2020, as compared to 2019.2021. Within the Products and Systems Integration segment, we are encouraged by strong LMR backlog, and the resiliency of the video security DeviceVideo 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 expect growth for fiscal year 2020. We have also taken actions in a numberresults of areas to reduce our operating expenses, mostly driven by lower variable compensation, travel costs, contractor spend and reduced real estate footprint to limit the negative effect on operating margins for the year despite the expected reduction of revenue.operations.
Lastly, we evaluated whether there were any impairment indicators in the first quarter,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. We concluded that asAs of the end of the first quarter of 2020,2021, we concluded our assets were fairly stated and recoverable.

Results of Operations—Three months ended March 28, 2020April 3, 2021 compared to three months ended March 30, 201928, 2020
The results of operations for the first quarter of 20202021 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.

The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement replaces our $2.2 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility scheduled to mature in April 2022 (the "20172022.

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 ("New 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 New Senior Convertible Notes in cash. We recorded a debt liability associated with the New 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

Recent 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 exceptionsSee “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” and simplifying other areas“Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 1, “Basis of accounting for income taxes. The ASU is effective on January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted. Portions of the amendment within the ASU require retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective adoption methods. We are still evaluating the impact of adoption on itsPresentation” to our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20) - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans,” which modifies the disclosure requirements for the defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans. The ASU is effective for us on January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The ASU requires a retrospective adoption method. We do not believe the ASU will have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurementincluded in Part I, Item 1. of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires us to measure and recognize expected credit losses for financial assets held and not accounted for at fair value through net income. In November 2018, April 2019, May 2019 and November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” ASU No. 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments," ASU No. 2019-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transitionthis Form 10-Q.

Relief," and ASU No. 2019-11," Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. We adopted ASC 326 as of January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective transition approach for all credit losses. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and disclosures required under ASC 326 will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2020.
We considered the impact of adoption by reviewing historical losses in conjunction with current and future economic conditions on the following financial assets: i) cash equivalents, ii) accounts receivable, iii) contract assets and iv) long-term receivables. Historical losses for these financial assets were previously insignificant with the exception of accounts receivable. We estimate credit losses on accounts receivable based on historical losses and then take into account estimates of current and future economic conditions. Our historical loss model is based on past due customer receivable balances and considers past collection experience, historical write-offs as well as the customer’s overall financial condition. Customer receivables are considered past due if payments have not been received within the agreed invoice terms. These historical losses are aggregated based on the type of customer (direct and indirect) and the geographic region (North America and International). The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

PartPART II—Other InformationOTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
TheIn addition to the matter referenced below, the Company is a defendant in various lawsuits,subject to legal proceedings and claims that have not been fully resolved and actions, which arisehave arisen in the normalordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. However, an unfavorable resolution could have a material adverse effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations in the periods in which the matters are ultimately resolved, or in the periods in which more information is obtained that changes management's opinion of the ultimate disposition.
On February 14, 2020, we announced that a jurySee Note 12, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in the U.S. District CourtPart I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for the Northern District of Illinois decided ininformation regarding our favor in our trade secret theft and copyright infringement case against Hytera Communications Corporation Limited (SHE: 002583) of Shenzhen, China; Hytera America, Inc.; and Hytera Communications America (West), Inc. (collectively, “Hytera”). In connection with this verdict, the jury awarded us $345.8 million in compensatory damages and $418.8 million in punitive damages, for a total of $764.6 million.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business results of operations, financial position, cash flows and stock price may be adversely affected byIn addition to the recent COVID-19 outbreak.
Health concerns arising fromother information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the COVID-19 pandemic may have adverse effects onfactors discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and stock price. COVID-19 could adversely impact our supply chain and distribution systems as well as the demand for our products and services. Although we have been permitted to continue to operate in jurisdictions that have mandated the closure of certain businesses, and we expect to continue to do so in the future, there is no assurance that we will be permitted to operate under every future government order or restriction. Any future restrictions or closures could have a material impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow. In particular, any limitations on, or closures of, our manufacturing facilities in Malaysia, Canada, Mexico and the United States (Illinois, California, Texas), or our distribution centers in Malaysia, Germany, Canada and the United States (Illinois, California, Texas), could have a material adverse impact on our ability to manufacture products and service customers and in return, have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. This extends as well to any potential disruptions to transportation including reduced availability of air transportation capacity and ocean freight capacity which can lead to longer transit times and increases in freight costs to deliver our products. If diminished transportation capacity levels continue, the speed at which we deliver our products will continue to be slower than the delivery times that we traditionally provide to our customers and could negatively impact our ability to meet customer demand.
Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we could experience materially adverse impacts to our business due to any resulting economic downturns. Additionally, concerns over the economic impact of COVID-19 have caused volatility in financial and other capital markets which has and may continue to adversely impact our stock price. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results it may also have the effect of heightening many of the otherfuture results. The risks described in our 2019 Annual Report, such as those relating to our products, financial performance or access to capital markets.“Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K remain current in all material respects.
