OTHER SELECTED FINANCIAL RESULTS
•Revenue - Sales were $2.8 billion, up 5% from the year-ago quarter driven by growth in North America and International. Revenue from acquisitions was $39 million and foreign currency tailwinds were $9 million in the quarter. The Software and Services segment grew 15%, driven by growth in Land Mobile Radio Communications ("LMR"), Video Security and Access Control ("Video") and Command Center. Revenue for the Products and Systems Integration segment was flat versus the prior year.
•Operating margin - GAAP operating margin was 25.0% of sales, up from 24.5% in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP operating margin was 29.6% of sales, up 80 basis points from 28.8% in the year-ago quarter. The increase in both GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins was driven by higher sales and improved operating leverage.
•Taxes - The GAAP effective tax rate during the quarter was 24.3%, versus 23.3% in the year-ago quarter driven by lower benefits from share-based compensation recognized in the current year. The non-GAAP effective tax rate was 23.5%, versus 23.6% the year-ago quarter.
•Cash flow - Operating cash flow was $272 million, compared to $180 million in the year-ago quarter and free cash flow was $224 million, up from $112 million in the year-ago quarter. Both the operating cash flow and free cash flow for the quarter increased primarily due to higher earnings and improved working capital.
•Capital allocation - During the quarter, the company repurchased $218 million of common stock, paid $182 million in cash dividends and incurred $48 million of capital expenditures. Additionally, the company entered into a new five-year $2.25 billion revolving credit facility during the quarter, which replaces the prior $2.25 billion revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature in March 2026.
Subsequent to the quarter, the company acquired Silvus for $4.4 billion of upfront consideration, which was primarily funded through $2 billion of new long-term senior notes issued in Q2 and $1.5 billion of new term loans. The remaining consideration of $900 million was settled through a combination of cash on hand and issuance of commercial paper.
•Backlog - The company ended the quarter with backlog of $14.1 billion, up 1% or $150 million from the year-ago quarter driven by record Q2 orders. Products and Systems Integration segment backlog was down $902 million, or 21%, driven primarily by strong LMR shipments. Software and Services segment backlog was up $1.0 billion, or 11%, driven by strong demand across all three technologies, partially offset by revenue recognition from the U.K. Home Office.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
•Third quarter 2025 - The company expects revenue growth of approximately 7% compared to the third quarter of 2024 and non-GAAP EPS between $3.82 to $3.87 per share. This assumes approximately 169 million of fully diluted shares and a non-GAAP effective tax rate of approximately 24%.
•Full-year 2025 - The company now expects revenue of approximately $11.65 billion or 7.7% growth, up from its prior guidance of approximately $11.4 billion or 5.5% growth, and non-GAAP EPS between $14.88 and $14.98, up from its prior guidance of $14.64 and $14.74 per share. This outlook assumes approximately 169 million of fully diluted shares and a non-GAAP effective tax rate of approximately 23%.
Our full-year outlook also includes $185 million of expected revenue related to Silvus. In addition, we are increasing our operating cash flow expectations to $2.75 billion for the full year, inclusive of approximately $75 million of one-time transaction expenses related to the Silvus acquisition.
The company has not quantitatively reconciled its guidance for forward-looking non-GAAP metrics to their most comparable GAAP measures because the company does not provide specific guidance for the various reconciling items as certain items that impact these measures have not occurred, are out of the company’s control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial metric is not available without unreasonable effort. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact the company’s results.

RECENT EVENTS
MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT UPDATE
The current global tariff environment is complex and evolving. In early 2025, the United States initiated a series of trade actions which imposed new tariffs and increased existing tariffs on goods imported from various countries, contributing to a global trade landscape subject to evolving tariffs, import/export regulations, trade barriers and trade disputes. As a result, the company continues to observe elevated volatility and uncertainty around the global supply chain.
The company engages with global suppliers across a diverse network of locations around the world. The company continues to work with our global supply base to mitigate its exposure to the risks to global reciprocal (and sectoral) tariffs that have developed, and which may continue to develop, in order to ensure supply continues at levels in order to meet the company's current customer demand. As a result of the dynamic environment, the company expects increased costs on materials and components in 2025, which the company currently expects to substantially mitigate.
CONFERENCE CALL AND WEBCAST Motorola Solutions will host its quarterly conference call beginning at 4 p.m. U.S. Central Time (5 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time) on Thursday, August 7.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In addition to the results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") included in this news release, Motorola Solutions also has included non-GAAP measurements of results, including free cash flow, non-GAAP operating earnings, non-GAAP EPS, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP tax rate, and organic revenue. The company has provided these non-GAAP measurements to help investors better understand its core operating performance, enhance comparisons of core operating performance from period-to-period and allow better comparisons of its operating performance to that of its competitors. Among other things, management uses these operating results, excluding the identified items, to evaluate the performance of its businesses and to evaluate results relative to certain incentive compensation targets. Management uses operating results excluding these items because it believes these measurements enable it to make better period-to-period evaluations of the financial performance of its core business operations. The non-GAAP measurements are intended only as a supplement to the comparable GAAP measurements and the company compensates for the limitations inherent in the use of non-GAAP measurements by using GAAP measures in conjunction with the non-GAAP measurements. As a result, investors should consider these non-GAAP measurements in addition to, and not in substitution for or as superior to, GAAP measurements.
Reconciliations: Details and reconciliations of such non-GAAP measurements to the corresponding GAAP measurements can be found at the end of this news release.
4
Free cash flow: Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. The company believes that free cash flow is useful to investors as the basis for comparing its performance and coverage ratios with other companies in the company's industries, although the company's measure of free cash flow may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies. This measure is also used as a component of incentive compensation.
Organic revenue: Organic revenue reflects net sales calculated under GAAP excluding net sales from acquired business owned for less than four full quarters. The company believes organic revenue provides useful information for evaluating the periodic growth of the business on a consistent basis and provides for a meaningful period-to-period comparison and analysis of trends in the business.
Non-GAAP operating earnings, non-GAAP EPS and non-GAAP operating margin each excludes highlighted items, including share-based compensation expenses and intangible assets amortization expense, as follows:
Highlighted items: The company has excluded the effects of highlighted items including, but not limited to, acquisition-related transaction fees, tangible and intangible asset impairments, reorganization of business charges, certain non-cash pension adjustments, legal settlements and other contingencies, gains and losses on investments and businesses, Hytera-related legal expenses, gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt and the income tax effects of significant tax matters, from its non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measurements because the company believes that these historical items do not reflect expected future operating earnings or expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the company's current operating performance or comparisons to the company's past operating performance. For the purposes of management's internal analysis over operating performance, the company uses financial statements that exclude highlighted items, as these charges do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the company's current operating performance or comparisons to the company's past operating performance.
Hytera-Related Legal Expenses: In 2017, the company filed a complaint against Hytera Communications Corporation Limited of Shenzhen, China; Hytera America, Inc.; and Hytera Communications America (West), Inc. (collectively, “Hytera”), in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “District Court”), alleging trade secret theft and copyright infringement, and seeking injunctive relief. In 2020, a jury decided in the company's favor and awarded the company $543.7 million, plus $51.1 million in pre-judgment interest and $2.6 million in costs, as well as $34.2 million in attorneys' fees.
Subsequently, the District Court ordered Hytera to pay the company a forward-looking reasonable royalty on products that use the company’s stolen trade secrets, setting royalty rates for Hytera's sale of relevant products from July 1, 2019 forward. The District Court then ordered Hytera to make royalty payments into a third-party escrow, while it reviewed Hytera's motion to modify the royalty order, which the District Court eventually denied. Hytera refused to make all of its royalty payments. The company filed a motion to hold Hytera in civil contempt for failing to make every royalty payment, which the District Court granted in 2023. As a result, on September 1, 2023, Hytera made a payment of $56 million into the third-party escrow, in addition to subsequent de minimis quarterly royalty payments between October 2022 and November 2024. The aggregate amount paid into escrow, of approximately $61 million, was released to the company on November 26, 2024 and was recorded as a gain within Other charges within the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Following the initial District Court judgment in the company's favor, both parties appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (the "Court of Appeals"). On July 2, 2024, the Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's award of $407.4 million in damages under the Defend Trade Secrets Act, directed the District Court to recalculate and reduce its award of $136.3 million in copyright infringement damages, and instructed the District Court to reconsider its denial of the company's request for an
5
injunction. In all other respects, the Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the District Court. On October 4, 2024, the Court of Appeals denied Hytera’s motion for rehearing. The case was remanded to the District Court for further action per the Court of Appeals' decision. On January 2, 2025, Hytera filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States, which was subsequently denied by the Supreme Court on February 24, 2025. The issues of copyright recalculation and injunction are currently briefed. The District Court is seeking to schedule a hearing on these issues for sometime later in 2025.
On March 4, 2025, Hytera made a partial payment toward the judgment of approximately $10 million, and an additional payment of approximately $10 million on April 25, 2025. Both payments were recorded as a gain within Other charges within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The company continues to seek collection of the judgment through the ongoing legal process.
In 2024, the parties engaged in competing litigation in the District Court and a court in China related to the possible continued use by Hytera of the company’s trade secrets in Hytera’s currently shipping products. On April 2, 2024, the District Court held Hytera in civil contempt, and issued a worldwide sales injunction of certain Hytera products and a daily fine for Hytera's failure to withdraw its competing litigation in China. On April 16, 2024, the Court of Appeals granted Hytera's motion for an emergency stay of the contempt sanctions, pending its review of the District Court's various orders related to the competing litigation and contempt sanctions. The District Court held hearings in August 2024, concerning whether Hytera's currently shipping products continue to misuse the company's trade secrets and copyrighted source code. The issue is currently under consideration by the District Court.
Management typically considers legal expenses associated with defending the company's intellectual property as “normal and recurring” and accordingly, Hytera-related legal expenses were included in both the company's GAAP and non-GAAP operating income for fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019. The company anticipates further expenses associated with Hytera-related litigation; however, as of 2020, the company believes that these expenses are no longer a part of the “normal and recurring” legal expenses incurred to operate its business. In addition, as any contingent or actual gains associated with the Hytera litigation are recognized, they will be similarly excluded from the company's non-GAAP operating income, consistent with the company's treatment of the $15 million of proceeds realized in 2022, $61 million realized in 2024 and $20 million realized in 2025. The company believes after the jury award, the presentation of excluding both Hytera-related legal expenses and gains related to awards better aligns with how management evaluates the company's ongoing underlying business performance.
Share-based compensation expenses: The company has excluded share-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measurements. Although share-based compensation is a key incentive offered to the company’s employees and the company believes such compensation contributed to the revenue earned during the periods presented and also believes it will contribute to the generation of future period revenues, the company continues to evaluate its performance excluding share-based compensation expenses primarily because it represents a significant non-cash expense. Share-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods.
Intangible assets amortization expense: The company has excluded intangible assets amortization expense from its non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measurements primarily because it represents a non-cash expense and because the company evaluates its performance excluding intangible assets amortization expense. Amortization of intangible assets is consistent in amount and frequency but is significantly affected by the timing and size of the company’s acquisitions. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to the company’s revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to the company’s future period revenues as well. Intangible assets amortization expense will recur in future periods.

** Under U.S. GAAP, the Silver Lake shares were considered anti-dilutive to earnings per share for the six months ended June 29, 2024 and were excluded from the computation of GAAP diluted weighted average common shares and diluted earnings per share. The shares are considered dilutive for non-GAAP earnings per share for the six months ended June 29, 2024 and an adjustment is reflected to include these shares for non-GAAP diluted earnings per share.
