Motorola Inc. is aiming to push its recovering semiconductor business to the breakeven point in the next 12 months--perhaps before year's end.

Officials today said the breakeven point in the first half of 2003 would be maintained by continuing cost cuts and increasing annual chip revenues to at least $4.9 billion, which is about 13% higher than the semiconductor division's ran-rate in Q1. Motorola's chip sales in 2001 were $4.94 billion, a 37% decline from $7.88 billion in 2000.
