Motorola reports first operating loss in 15 years CHICAGO, April 10 (Reuters) - Motorola Inc. (NYSE:MOT - news), the world's second-largest mobile phone maker, on Tuesday reported a first quarter operating loss, its first in 15 years, reflecting weakness across all of its business units due to the downturn in the U.S. economy. Motorola said it lost $206 million from ongoing operations in the first quarter, or 9 cents a share, excluding special items, compared with a profit of $481 million, or 21 cents, a year ago. Analysts were expecting the company to report a loss between a penny and 14 cents according to market research firm Thomson Financial/First Call. The wireless communications and semiconductor giant warned in February it could report a first-quarter loss if an economic slowdown persisted. Revenues for the period ending March 31 also fell 11 percent to $7.8 billion from $8.8 billion a year ago.
