Google’s Q3 earnings just leaked ahead of schedule, and it appears that Motorola revenues accounted for $2.58 billion of Google’s $14.10B revenue in the three-month period ending September 30. $1.78 billion was generated from the mobile segment alone, with $797 million credited to the home segment. In total, Motorola revenues account for 18 percent of Google’s Q3 report.
Last quarter, Motorola brought in a comfy $1.25 billion for Google, and yet still Motorola grows to now account for 18 percent of Google’s revenue as opposed to last quarter’s 10 percent.
Still, Motorola is accounting for major losses within Google as well, reporting a GAAP operating loss of $527 million ($505 million of which came from mobile), a 20 percent decrease in revenues.
Google acquired Motorola for $12.5 billion in August. Slowly but surely, Google has been engulfing Motorola whole, replacing longtime CEO Sanjay Jah with Googler Dennis Woodside, and even having Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt on stage to launch some new phones.
