25. Motorola has been maintaining its market share of 30% in mobile handset. Due to increasingly intensive competitions, its market share is expected to drop to 20% in 2005.
Motorola’s EBIT margin for mobile handset is 5%, which is very low compared with Samsung’s EBIT at 15% and Nokia’s EBIT at 20%. The low EBIT margin is mainly due to its high cost of goods sold.KEY MESSAGES - FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE25
