The Counter-Drone Technology Gap That Is Leaving Agencies Blind to the Fastest-Growing ThreatJuly 9, 2026 8:45 AM
InvestorsHub NewsWireThe Counter-Drone Technology Gap That Is Leaving Agencies Blind to the Fastest-Growing ThreatNetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Public safety institutions have arrived at a breaking point. Hiring more officers and fielding quicker versions of legacy equipment are no longer sufficient answers to the threats that agencies now face. Consumer-grade drones available for under $500 have fundamentally altered the risk landscape. Narcotics organizations deploy these devices against federal border agents. Jails and prisons deal with drone-dropped contraband on a near-daily basis. And Langley Air Force Base, one of the most fortified military installations in the country, was compelled to ground flight operations after persistent drone incursions that no existing nonlethal interdiction protocol could address. The response infrastructure that agencies have relied on for decades is mismatched to the threat environment that now defines their daily operations. Closing that gap is the central challenge of this era.With that backdrop, Wrap Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) (Profile) has acquired something its rivals in the counter-drone space cannot purchase: the capacity to find the drones that have stopped transmitting. A strategic transaction with Israeli AI-sensing company Frenel Imaging Ltd. has given WRAP exclusive United States and NATO distribution rights to a physics-based sensing technology that detects threats earlier, orchestrates responses, and acts with proportionate, mission-appropriate action. WRAP has positioned that technology as the foundation of WrapShield, its emerging counter-unmanned aircraft system ("UAS") and autonomous public-safety platform. Counter-drone operations represent the initial deployment domain, with significant expansion potential beyond it. The addressable market spans domestic law enforcement, allied military forces and critical infrastructure across every NATO nation, a sector that has already drawn investor interest in leading companies operating in the public-safety space, including including Axon Enterprise Inc. (NASDAQ: AXON), Motorola Solutions Inc. (NYSE: MSI), Unusual Machines Inc. (NYSE American: UMAC) and nLIGHT Inc. (NASDAQ: LASR).Whether agencies will eventually adopt autonomous response systems is no longer a meaningful question; what remains to be determined is which platforms will come to define the category.Frenel Imaging developed the TPiCore(R) platform on a Division of Focal Plane architecture; the system simultaneously captures and processes the polarization component of thermal radiation at the edge, in real time, without cloud dependency or RF inputWrapShield is organized around a Detect, Orchestrate, Respond architecture, and the design logic rooted in that structure reflects a specific strategic conviction.Wrap Technologies has secured exclusive U.S. and NATO rights to a physics-based sensing method that reads a target's thermal fingerprint, which cannot be jammed, spoofed or switched off.The autonomous public-safety market is not a single vertical. It is three distinct but converging procurement ecosystems: domestic law enforcement, U.S. and allied military forces, and operators responsible for securing critical infrastructure.Click here to view the custom infographic of the Wrap Technologies editorial.The Speed Gap That No Hiring Surge Can CloseWhether agencies will eventually adopt autonomous response systems is no longer a meaningful question. The physics of modern threats settled it. What remains to be determined is which platforms will come to define the category, and whether the institutions that need them most will have meaningful access before the next serious incident reveals just how far behind the response infrastructure has fallen.The arithmetic is stark. Across U.S. jurisdictions, average police response times run around 10 minutes, with wide variation depending on the call type and location, while a commercial drone can be on scene within 90 seconds of launch. That distance between attacker tempo and defender response is not a budget problem or a personnel problem. It is structural, and additional officers cannot change the underlying geometry.The danger is not hypothetical. The U.S. Department of Justice has reported how criminal enterprises, drug traffickers among them, are actively using unmanned systems for surveillance operations, smuggling runs and contraband delivery. The National Institute of Justice notes that drone deliveries into correctional facilities have become a weekly occurrence nationwide. The NORAD commander has publicly commented on the frequency of drone incursions over U.S. military installations. And commercial drones that a decade ago required nation-state procurement budgets now sit on retail shelves for under $500. This is not the threat environment of the future; it is the scenario that agencies are operating within today.A new infrastructure layer is taking shape to confront these realities. The possible solutions land where artificial intelligence, autonomous platforms and nonlethal response technology meet, functioning less like a discrete product and more like an operating layer, the connective tissue binding detection, command and action across every domain that modern threats now cross. The organizations that build it first will define what public safety looks like for the generation that follows.The Silent Drone Problem That RF Cannot SolveThe counter-drone industry was constructed around a single foundational premise: that drones talk. Radio-frequency detection functions by listening for the broadcast signals that unmanned systems emit for command links, telemetry feeds and navigation. Against large civilian platforms operating openly, that assumption holds. Against the segment of the threat spectrum growing fastest and posing the gravest risk, it fails completely.Preprogrammed autonomous systems, fiber-optic guided weapons and purpose-built attack platforms travel with no active RF link. They emit nothing, which means they cannot be jammed, and they are invisible to any detection architecture that depends on a radio signal to locate its target. The first-person-view attack profiles that have destroyed armored vehicles across Ukraine operate entirely beyond what every RF-dependent system deployed in the United States can detect, and the operators responsible for the Langley incursions left no recoverable RF trace whatsoever. That is the actual operational baseline inside which agencies, installations and infrastructure managers currently work.Polarimetric thermal imaging addresses the problem at the level of physics. Rather than scanning for signals, it reads the polarization state of thermal radiation that physical objects continuously emit. Aircraft composites, metallic components, human beings and natural vegetation each carry a polarimetric signature as fixed as their molecular structure. That signature cannot be fabricated, suppressed or electronically defeated, and it persists across darkness, fog, smoke and environments where GPS has been degraded or denied.Frenel Imaging developed the TPiCore(R) platform on a Division of Focal Plane architecture. The system simultaneously captures and processes the polarization component of thermal radiation at the edge, in real time, without cloud dependency or RF input. This is information that standard imaging hardware is physically incapable of gathering. Independent research, including a 2020 Army Research Laboratory study comparing mid-wave and long-wave thermal polarimetric approaches, corroborates the physics underpinning the platform's detection advantage.With the newly announced Frenel investment, WRAP now owns exclusive rights to that capability across the United States and every NATO member nation, and has installed TPiCore as the machine-perception foundation of WrapShield, its proprietary defense platform. For any agency, installation or infrastructure operator that needs to detect the RF-silent threat, no competitor appears to hold a comparable position.One Platform, Two Moats, No Easy WorkaroundThe defense technology firms that established the most defensible market positions over the past decade did not get there by building superior individual sensors. They got there by building superior connective tissue, software-defined platforms that fused multiple inputs into a unified operational picture and translated detection into response at machine speed. Platforms accumulate compounding value. Point products become commodities. That framing is the appropriate one for evaluating WrapShield.WrapShield is organized around a Detect, Orchestrate, Respond architecture, and the design logic rooted in that structure reflects a specific strategic conviction: Durable value in autonomous public-safety systems accumulates at the sensor and response endpoints, not in the orchestration layer between them, which tends to commoditize as AI model capabilities converge across the market. WrapShield is deliberately engineered to own both ends.At the Detect layer, TPiCore delivers polarimetric perception that no RF-dependent competitor can access, backed by exclusive U.S. and NATO rights. At the Respond layer, Wrap controls a proprietary nonlethal stack seemingly irreplaceable: the BolaWrap(R) 150 remote restraint device, the Wraptor MX platform in advanced development, the DFR-X drone interdiction system and the Merlin-1 counter-UAS payload.The orchestration layer in the middle is intentionally kept open, built to connect with existing Department of Defense ("DoD") and Department of Homeland Security command-and-control architectures such as FAAD C2 and SAPIENT. It is also designed to run alongside AI-orchestration providers rather than compete with them. The aim is a position that orchestration platforms cannot replicate from above and that hardware competitors cannot displace from below."We believe the polarimetric fingerprint of an object is as immutable as its molecular composition," said Frenel Imaging founder and chief technical officer Sagi Zur Arie. "It cannot be spoofed, jammed or turned off. WRAP is the right partner to scale this capability across the U.S. and NATO."The response layer is not untested hardware awaiting a buyer. Wrap Technologies' nonlethal portfolio, spanning the BolaWrap 150, WrapReality immersive VR training and WrapVision body-worn cameras, is already active across 1,000-plus agencies in an estimated 60 countries. That installed footprint matters less for the hardware revenue it represents than for what it can become: a certified network of trained agencies renewing multiyear software and training agreements, and the bridge from hardware-based metrics to the recurring, higher-margin revenue structure that justifies a platform valuation.In the first quarter of 2026, WRAP posted 45% revenue growth, $3.2 million in bookings and a Department of Homeland Security purchase order, federal traction established before the Frenel transaction removed the detection limitations the company believes had constrained WrapShield's ceiling. With the launch of WrapShield, that momentum has potential to only increase.A Platform Strategy Playing Out in Real TimeThe Frenel transaction was not opportunistic. Wrap identified the RF-silent detection gap well ahead of any public disclosure, and used that interval to assess the technology landscape, validate TPiCore against real operational requirements, and lock down exclusive rights before the broader market had priced what the capability was worth. The structure combines a strategic equity stake in Frenel with an exclusive license spanning the United States and all NATO member nations, and the company has indicated clearly that this announcement opens a deliberate sequence rather than concluding one.Counter-UAS is WrapShield's first vertical, not its boundary. The polarimetric sensing at the platform's core is not purpose built for drones alone. The same TPiCore architecture is transferable across ground systems, maritime platforms, high-altitude fixed-wing applications and orbital observation environments, and the exclusive U.S. and NATO license is structured to govern each domain extension that follows. The counter-UAS systems market alone is projected to expand from roughly $6.6 billion in 2025 to more than $20 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate above 25%. The full multidomain autonomous, nonlethal response opportunity represents a substantially larger figure."WrapShield is not a product roadmap," states Wrap CEO Scot Cohen. "It is a conviction about what this threat requires, a platform-level answer to a platform-level problem, built for operators who cannot wait for the market to catch up. This is Wrap's most important announcement. It will not be our last."The performance advantage widens with deployment. TPiCore's edge originates not in proprietary hardware alone but in the software intelligence and AI processing layered on top of physics-locked inputs, a combination that makes the platform scalable, continuously updatable and progressively harder to match as real-world operational data accumulates across the install base.Three Markets ConvergingLaw enforcement staffing shortfalls across the United States are not a temporary condition tied to a specific budget cycle. The shortfalls are structural, they are accelerating, and they cannot be resolved by any volume of new hiring. Departments nationwide are operating at significant gaps relative to their authorized headcounts, and no increase in officer numbers closes a response gap measured in seconds against a threat that moves at machine speed.Supervised autonomy recasts the underlying issue. A single officer commanding a network of autonomous aerial platforms, ground-based robots and integrated sensor arrays can extend effective coverage across areas that might otherwise require dozens of personnel deployed simultaneously. Cost-per-incident drops, response time compresses from minutes to seconds, and officers are distanced from the highest-risk contact points while retaining full command authority over the response. This represents a fundamental shift in response doctrine, with autonomous and nonlethal first response supplanting a framework built entirely around physical human presence, rather than an equipment refresh stacked on top of existing procedures.The autonomous public-safety market is not a single vertical. It is three distinct but converging procurement ecosystems: domestic law enforcement, U.S. and allied military forces, and operators responsible for securing critical infrastructure. These systems are arriving at the same inflection point simultaneously, driven by the same threat proliferation curve, the same workforce economics and the same institutional mandate to demonstrate nonlethal, proportionate response capability.Domestic law enforcement represents the widest near-term opportunity. An estimated 18,000-plus agencies across the country operate without a single deployed civilian counter-UAS tool, despite facing a drone threat that the Department of Justice has formally acknowledged. The mounting pace of use-of-force litigation has made the absence of a documented nonlethal option a quantifiable legal exposure at the agency level.The military and homeland security channel operates at a different level of need. The Defense Department is committing more than $1 billion annually to selected counter-UAS procurement and research programs, with Congressional Research Service data reporting some $1.46 billion authorized across selected FY2025 counter-UAS lines and recent Army reporting projecting close to $1 billion in small counter-drone procurement for FY2027 alone. This budgeting backdrop has driven investor reratings across the sector, and WRAP's sole U.S. and NATO rights position the company to access the same institutional channels across every member nation.Critical infrastructure is the third converging vertical. Ports, power grids, sports venues and detention facilities throughout NATO face the same drone threat against the same absence of an authorized civilian response framework. The Federal Aviation Administration has proposed rules restricting unmanned aircraft operations over critical infrastructure, a signal that federal recognition of the systemic nature of the problem is growing.Through WrapShield and the exclusive TPiCore license, Wrap may be the only publicly traded company positioned to serve all three verticals with a detection architecture built for the threats that matter most. Exclusive technology rights, an operating footprint reaching some 60 countries, established relationships across agency and defense procurement channels, and a growing autonomous-systems roadmap are the components the company is building into the connective infrastructure the future of public safety seems to be looking for.Public Safety Enters AI EraThe public-safety and defense sectors are undergoing a rapid technological transformation as agencies adopt more intelligent, connected and autonomous capabilities to address increasingly complex security challenges. Recent developments highlight growing investments in artificial intelligence, counter-drone technologies, advanced manufacturing and directed-energy systems, reflecting a broader effort to improve situational awareness, accelerate response times and strengthen mission readiness across civilian and defense operations.Axon Enterprise Inc. (NASDAQ: AXON) unveiled a new level of service in real-time intelligence during its annual user conference. According to the company, its new AI-powered capabilities enable agencies to detect incidents earlier, access critical information faster and coordinate responses more effectively while maintaining security and data control across the full incident lifecycle. Axon's latest technology delivers clarity, speed and coordination across live video, 911 and reporting workflows. The enhanced AI platform connects data, devices and workflows across the public safety ecosystem, reducing complexity for officers previously relying on separate systems, and helping agencies respond with more precision and speed.Motorola Solutions Inc. (NYSE: MSI) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire D-Fend Solutions (D-Fend), an industry leader in counter-drone technology. D-Fend's field proven technology is trusted by government, public-safety and enterprise organizations, with thousands of deployments across more than 30 countries. The announcement noted that joining Motorola Solutions allows D-Fend to leverage Motorola Solutions' deep expertise and long-term customer relationships across public safety, federal and enterprise, enabling the company to deliver even greater impact to the communities and organizations served.Unusual Machines Inc. (NYSE American: UMAC) is expanding its Orlando manufacturing footprint to support battery operations. The company signed a lease for approximately 14,000 square feet of manufacturing and operational space in Orlando. Batteries are generally used with each drone, and the expanded facility supports the next phase of the company's growth and expands its domestic manufacturing capabilities so Unusual Machines can be sure customers receive the parts they need.nLIGHT Inc. (NASDAQ: LASR) has launched HADES(TM), a new family of high-energy lasers ("HEL") and effectors for laser weapon systems. Designed for the modern battlespace, HADES provides scalable, mission-ready directed energy capabilities across land, sea, air and space domains. The platform is a scalable portfolio of high-energy laser effectors built on nLIGHT's vertically integrated manufacturing base and industry-leading beam-combination technology with integrated atmospheric correction to achieve unprecedented lethality at range.These advancements reflect a new generation of public safety and defense technologies built around speed, precision and interoperability. As emerging threats continue to evolve, organizations are investing in scalable platforms that integrate intelligent software, advanced sensors and next-generation hardware to enhance operational effectiveness while supporting the long-term modernization of security and defense infrastructure.For more information about Wrap Technologies Inc., please visit the Wrap Technologies profile.About NetworkNewsWireNetworkNewsWire ("NNW") is a specialized communications platform with a focus on financial news and content distribution for private and public companies and the investment community.

Motorola Solutions Reports First-Quarter 2026 Financial ResultsMay 7, 2026 4:10 PM
Business Wire Company raises full-year revenue and earnings outlook driven by record Q1 orders and backlog Sales of $2.7 billion, up 7% versus a year ago Software and Services sales up 18% Products and Systems Integration sales up 1% GAAP earnings per share ("EPS") of $2.18 Non-GAAP EPS* of $3.37 Record Q1 ending backlog of $15.7 billion, up 11% versus a year ago Acquired Exacom and Hyper for a combined $90 million, net of cash acquired, and entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Bell Canada's LMR networks services business Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI) today reported its earnings results for the first quarter of 2026. "Q1 was an outstanding start to the year, with strong sales and earnings,” said Greg Brown, chairman and CEO, Motorola Solutions. “Our record first-quarter backlog was driven by robust, broad-based demand. As a result, we’re raising both our revenue and earnings guidance for the full year 2026.” KEY FINANCIAL RESULTS (presented in millions, except per share data and percentages) Q1 2026 Q1 2025 % Change Sales $2,714 $2,528 7 % GAAP Operating Earnings $525 $582 (10) % % of Sales 19.3 % 23.0 % EPS $2.18 $2.53 (14) % Non-GAAP* Operating Earnings $781 $716 9 % % of Sales 28.8 % 28.3 % EPS $3.37 $3.18 6 % Products and Systems Integration Segment Sales $1,559 $1,546 1 % GAAP Operating Earnings $213 $352 (39) % % of Sales 13.7 % 22.8 % Non-GAAP* Operating Earnings $386 $434 (11) % % of Sales 24.8 % 28.1 % Software and Services Segment Sales $1,155 $982 18 % GAAP Operating Earnings $312 $230 36 % % of Sales 27.0 % 23.4 % Non-GAAP* Operating Earnings $395 $282 40 % % of Sales 34.2 % 28.7 % * Non-GAAP financial information excludes the after-tax impact of approximately $1.19 per diluted share related to highlighted items, share-based compensation expense and intangible assets amortization expense. Details regarding these non-GAAP adjustments and the use of non-GAAP measures are included later in this news release. OTHER SELECTED FINANCIAL RESULTS Revenue - Sales were $2.7 billion, up 7% from the year-ago quarter driven primarily by growth in International. Revenue from acquisitions was $219 million and foreign currency tailwinds were $60 million in the quarter. The Products and Systems Integration segment grew 1% driven by growth in Video Security and Access Control ("Video"), partially offset by Mission Critical Networks ("MCN"). The Software and Services segment grew 18% driven by growth in MCN, Command Center and Video. Operating margin - GAAP operating margin was 19.3% of sales, down from 23.0% in the year-ago quarter primarily driven by an increase to the contingent Silvus earnout due to strong performance of the business and increased intangible amortization expense in the current quarter. Non-GAAP operating margin was 28.8% of sales, up 50 basis points from 28.3% in the year-ago quarter. The increase in non-GAAP operating margin was driven by higher sales and improved operating leverage, partially offset by higher supply chain costs. Taxes - The GAAP effective tax rate during the quarter was 16.6%, versus 21.0% in the year-ago quarter and the non-GAAP effective tax rate was 19.1%, versus 21.1% in the year-ago quarter, driven by higher benefits from share-based compensation recognized in the current quarter. Cash flow - Operating cash flow was $451 million, compared to $510 million in the year-ago quarter and free cash flow was $389 million, compared to $473 million in the year-ago quarter. Both the operating cash flow and free cash flow for the quarter decreased primarily due to increased investments in inventory and higher interest and tax payments, partially offset by higher earnings, net of non-cash charges. Capital allocation - During the quarter, the company paid $201 million in cash dividends, repurchased $118 million of common stock and invested $62 million in capital expenditures. The company closed the acquisitions of Exacom, a leading provider of cloud-native voice and multimedia recording and logging solutions for mission-critical communications, and Hyper, a leader in conversational, agentic AI designed to assist in handling non-emergency calls within public safety answering points (PSAPs), for a combined $90 million, net of cash acquired. The company also entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the LMR networks services business from Bell Canada for a purchase price of CAD $675 million, or approximately $500 million, subject to customary adjustments and a deferred net working capital settlement. The acquisition is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Additionally, the company repaid $200 million of the $1.5 billion term loans issued to fund the Silvus acquisition, leaving a balance of $1.3 billion outstanding. Backlog - The company ended the quarter with record Q1 backlog of $15.7 billion, up 11% or $1.6 billion from the year-ago quarter driven by record Q1 orders. Products and Systems Integration segment backlog was up $255 million, or 7%, driven primarily by strong demand in Video and MCN. Software and Services segment backlog was up $1.3 billion, or 13%, driven by strong demand across all three technologies and favorable foreign currency impacts. NOTABLE WINS AND ACHIEVEMENTS Products and Systems Integration $148 million P25 device and SVX body-worn assistant orders for the U.S. Federal Government $78 million of Silvus orders for a German-based unmanned systems provider $16 million P25 device order for a U.S. state and local customer $14 million fixed video order for a large U.S. fitness company $10 million fixed video order for Duke Energy Software and Services $41 million five-year P25 services renewal for the MN Department of Transportation $24 million Command Center order for Denver, CO $16 million Command Center order for Anne Arundel County, MD $10 million P25 services order for Paraíba, Brazil Department of Social Services $9 million mobile video order for a U.S. state and local customer BUSINESS OUTLOOK Second quarter 2026 - The company expects revenue growth of approximately 8.5% compared to the second quarter of 2025 and non-GAAP EPS between $3.82 and $3.88 per share. This assumes approximately 168 million of fully diluted shares and a non-GAAP effective tax rate of approximately 23%. Full-year 2026 - The company now expects revenue of approximately $12.8 billion, up from its prior guidance of $12.7 billion and non-GAAP EPS between $16.87 and $16.99 per share, up from its prior guidance of between $16.70 and $16.85 per share. This outlook assumes approximately 168 million of fully diluted shares and a non-GAAP effective tax rate of approximately 22.5%. The company has not quantitatively reconciled its guidance for forward-looking non-GAAP measurements in this news release to their most comparable GAAP measurements because the company does not provide specific guidance for the various reconciling items as certain items that impact these measurements have not occurred, are out of the company’s control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measurement 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 Since February 2025, the U.S. has initiated a series of trade actions which imposed new tariffs and increased existing tariffs on goods imported from various countries, including tariffs levied under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”), contributing to a global trade landscape subject to evolving tariffs, import/export regulations, including restrictions around rare earth minerals, trade barriers and trade disputes. On February 20, 2026, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling invalidated tariffs imposed under IEEPA; however, the ruling did not address potential refunds. Following the ruling, the Court of International Trade (“CIT”) ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to facilitate refunds for all affected importers. On April 20, 2026, CBP launched Phase 1 of the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (“CAPE”) system to facilitate these refunds. As of April 4, 2026, the company had not recognized an asset related to any potential refund given the potential uncertainty in receiving refunds. The company plans to continue to evaluate new information as it becomes available, and recognize the refund when recovery is probable. In addition, the company is experiencing higher costs for memory in its products which is a result of substantial demand in the market driven by AI. 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 its global supply base to mitigate its exposure to the risks from global reciprocal (and sectoral) tariffs, rising memory costs, and import/export regulations that have developed, and which may continue to develop, to ensure supply continues at levels necessary to meet its current customer demand. As a result of the dynamic supply chain environment, the company has experienced increased costs on materials and components, for which the company continues to develop mitigation actions going forward. 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, May 7. The conference call will be webcast live at www.motorolasolutions.com/investors. An archive of the webcast will be available for a limited period of time thereafter. CONSOLIDATED GAAP RESULTS (presented in millions, except per share data) A comparison of results from operations is as follows: Q1 2026 Q1 2025 Net sales $2,714 $2,528 Gross margin $1,362 $1,300 Operating earnings $525 $582 Amounts attributable to Motorola Solutions, Inc. common stockholders Net earnings $366 $430 Diluted EPS $2.18 $2.53 Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding 168.0 169.8 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 net earnings attributable to MSI, 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. 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, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP net earnings attributable to MSI 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, adjustments to contingent earnout, 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 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, ultimately resulting in an award to the company of $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. In 2024, after both parties appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (the "Court of Appeals"), the Court of Appeals, among other items, affirmed the District Court's award of $407.4 million in damages under the Defend Trade Secrets Act, and directed the District Court to recalculate and reduce its award of $136.3 million in copyright infringement damages, which remains subject to ruling by the District Court. As of April 4, 2026, as a result of this civil litigation and 2020 bankruptcy proceedings by Hytera America, Inc. and Hytera Communications America (West), Inc., Hytera had paid over $212 million against this award, $40 million of which was paid in the first quarter of 2026. Net of withholding taxes, the company has received over $192 million as of April 4, 2026, $36 million of which was received in the first quarter of 2026. These payments were recorded as a gain within Other charges within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Further, in 2022, the District Court ordered Hytera to pay the company a forward-looking reasonable royalty on Hytera’s products (“I-Series”) that use the company’s stolen trade secrets, applicable to I-Series products sold from July 1, 2019 forward. In 2024, the company received royalties of $61 million related to the I-Series products, which was recorded as a gain within Other charges within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Beginning in 2025, a favorable ruling in a related legal proceeding in the District Court (which Hytera has subsequently appealed to the Court of Appeals) also ordered Hytera to pay the company for Hytera’s continued use of the company’s trade secrets and copyrighted source code in Hytera’s currently shipping products (“H-Series”), and Hytera has subsequently reported approximately $110 million in royalties subject to the Court's order. While several aspects of the court proceedings related to both the I-Series and H-Series are subject to appeal, the company continues to seek collection of the amounts owed by Hytera through the ongoing legal process. Management typically considers legal expenses associated with defending the company's intellectual property as “normal and recurring.” Since 2020, the company has believed that Hytera-related legal expenses have not been part of its “normal and recurring” legal expenses incurred to operate its business and has accordingly excluded such expenses from its GAAP operating Income. 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 approximately $15 million realized in 2022, $61 million realized in 2024, $157 million realized in 2025, and $40 million realized in the first quarter of 2026. 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 expense 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 expense primarily because it represents a significant non-cash expense. Share-based compensation expense 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 earnings 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.

OTHER SELECT FOURTH-QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenue - Fourth-quarter sales were $3.4 billion, up 12% from the year-ago quarter driven by growth in International and North America. Revenue from acquisitions was $188 million and the impact of favorable foreign currency rates was $30 million. The Products and Systems Integration segment grew 11% with growth in Mission Critical Networks ("MCN") and Video Security and Access Control ("Video"). The Software and Services segment grew 15% driven by growth in all three technologies.
Operating margin - GAAP operating margin was 27.9% of sales, up from 27.0% in the year-ago quarter and non-GAAP operating margin was 32.1% of sales, up from 30.4% in the year-ago quarter. The increase in both GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin was driven by higher sales, favorable mix and improving operating leverage, partially offset by higher tariffs.
Taxes - The GAAP effective tax rate was 24.5%, up from 22.2% in the year-ago quarter and the non-GAAP effective tax rate was 23.6%, up from 22.0% in the year-ago quarter, driven by lower benefits from share-based compensation recognized in the current quarter.
Cash flow - Operating cash flow was $1.3 billion during the quarter, compared with $1.1 billion in the year-ago quarter and free cash flow was $1.1 billion in the quarter, compared with $1.0 billion in the year-ago quarter. Both the operating cash flow and free cash flow for the quarter increased primarily due to higher earnings, net of non-cash charges.
Capital allocation - During the quarter, the company repurchased $490 million of its common stock at an average price of $402.40, paid $182 million in dividends and invested $114 million in capital expenditures. Additionally, the company closed the acquisition of Blue Eye, a provider of AI-powered enterprise remote video monitoring services, for $79 million, net of cash acquired, and repaid $179 million of short-term borrowings, primarily commercial paper.
Subsequent to quarter end the company repaid $200 million of the $1.5 billion term loans issued to fund the Silvus acquisition, leaving a balance of $1.3 billion outstanding.
OTHER SELECT FULL-YEAR FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenue - Full-year sales were $11.7 billion, up 8% driven by growth in North America and International. Revenue from acquisitions was $382 million and the impact of favorable foreign currency rates was $35 million. The Products and Systems Integration segment increased 5% driven by growth in MCN and Video. The Software and Services segment increased 13% driven by growth in all three technologies.
Operating margin - For the full year, GAAP operating margin was 25.6% of sales, compared to 24.8% for the prior year driven primarily by higher sales, improved operating leverage, and a recovery related to the Hytera litigation, partially offset by higher expenses associated with acquisitions and higher employee incentive costs. Non-GAAP operating margin was 30.3% of sales, up from 29.0% in the prior year driven by higher sales, favorable mix and improved operating leverage.
Taxes - The 2025 GAAP effective tax rate was 23.2%, compared with 19.8% in the prior year driven by the utilization of foreign tax credit carryovers, partially offset by the non-deductible loss on the extinguishment of Silver Lake convertible debt, both in the prior year. The non-GAAP effective tax rate was 22.3%, up from 22.0% in the previous year.
Cash flow - The company generated record operating cash flow of $2.8 billion, up 19% versus the prior year, and record free cash flow of $2.6 billion, up 21% versus the prior year. The increase in both operating and free cash flow was primarily driven by higher earnings, net of non-cash charges.
Capital allocation - In 2025, the company closed four acquisitions for $4.9 billion, net of cash acquired, repurchased $1.2 billion of its common stock at an average price of $420.21 per share, paid $728 million in dividends and invested $265 million in capital expenditures. In addition, the company issued $2 billion of long-term senior notes and entered into $1.5 billion of term loans to fund the Silvus acquisition and settled $322 million of debentures due in 2025. Subsequent to the year, the company repaid $200 million of the $1.5 billion term loans issued to fund the Silvus acquisition, leaving a balance of $1.3 billion outstanding.
Additionally, in 2025 the company entered into a new five-year $2.25 billion revolving credit facility maturing in April 2030, replacing the prior $2.25 billion revolving credit facility which was scheduled to mature in March 2026.
Backlog - The company ended the year with record backlog of $15.7 billion, up $1 billion from the prior year, inclusive of $458 million of favorable foreign currency rates. Products and Systems Integrations segment backlog was down 8% or $323 million primarily driven by strong MCN shipments during the first half of the year. Software and Services segment backlog was up 13%, or $1.4 billion, driven by strong demand in all three technologies and favorable foreign currency rates of $381 million.

This assumes approximately 168 million fully diluted shares and a non-GAAP effective tax rate of approximately 20.5%.
Full-year 2026 - The company expects revenue of approximately $12.7 billion and non-GAAP EPS in the range of $16.70 to $16.85 per share. This assumes approximately 168 million fully diluted shares and a non-GAAP effective tax rate of approximately 22.5%.
The company has not quantitatively reconciled its guidance for forward-looking non-GAAP measurements in this news release to their most comparable GAAP measurements 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 measurement 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 trade environment is complex and evolving. In 2025, the U.S. 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, including restrictions around rare earth minerals, trade barriers and trade disputes. The company continues to monitor the impact of the current trade environment, including tariffs implemented under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), for the impacts of policy volatility, pending judicial outcomes, and evolving geopolitical events that may impact its supply chain costs and operational efficiency. In addition, the company is observing shifting dynamics in the memory market driven by substantial demand from the AI data center sector. 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, and continues to work with its global supply base to mitigate its exposure to the risks to global reciprocal (and sectoral) tariffs, navigate import/export regulations that have developed, and which may continue to develop, and mitigate its exposure to rising costs to facilitate continued supply at levels in order to meet its current customer demand. As a result of the dynamic global supply chain environment, the company has experienced increased costs on materials and components, which it has substantially mitigated during 2025 and for which it expects to continue to develop mitigation actions going forward.
The company continues to see demand for its products and services supported by a multitude of funding sources. In July 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law by the President of the United States, which provided a number of changes including funding over the next four years for border security, national security and other opportunities. The company expects OBBBA to provide an additional source of funding to its federal government customers over the four-year period available through OBBBA.

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 net earnings attributable to MSI, non-GAAP tax rate, 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 operating performance to that of its competitors. Among other things, management uses these operating results, excluding the identified items, to evaluate 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.
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, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP net earnings attributable to MSI 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, adjustments to contingent earnout 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 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 ("I-Series") that use the company’s stolen trade secrets, setting royalty rates for Hytera's sale of relevant products from July 1, 2019 forward. In 2024, amounts paid into escrow of approximately $61 million were released to the company and recorded as a gain within Other charges within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Hytera made quarterly de minimis royalty payments related to the I-Series products directly to the company in 2025.
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 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 on February 24, 2025. The issues of copyright recalculation, turnover of Hytera assets to the company, and injunction are currently briefed. On October 14-15, 2025, the District Court held hearings on these issues, but has not yet issued any rulings.
In 2025, Hytera made payments towards amounts awarded to the company and owed by Hytera pursuant to court orders related to I-Series products. In 2025, Hytera made payments of $157 million, of which the company received $141 million, net of withholding taxes. Subsequent to year-end, in January 2026, Hytera made a payment of $40 million, of which the company received $36 million, net of withholding taxes. These 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 ("H-Series"). On April 2, 2024, the District Court held Hytera in civil contempt, and issued a worldwide sales injunction of certain H-Series 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 H-Series products continue to misuse the company's trade secrets and copyrighted source code. On August 25, 2025, the District Court held Hytera in civil contempt for violation of the District Court’s royalty order and ordered Hytera to pay the Company approximately $70 million for unpaid royalties and interest for Hytera’s continued use of the Company’s trade secrets and copyrighted source code in Hytera's H-Series products. The District Courts subsequently ordered Hytera to pay additional royalties of $31 million accrued from the August 2024 hearings and the August 25, 2025 order. Hytera has appealed the District Court’s order to the Court of Appeals. Hytera’s appeal does not automatically stay its obligation to pay the $101 million. On October 14-15, 2025, the District Court heard arguments on whether Hytera must pay the $101 million into escrow, or directly to the Company as a payment towards amounts awarded to the Company and owed by Hytera pursuant to prior court orders, but has not yet issued a ruling.
Management typically considers legal expenses associated with defending the company's intellectual property as “normal and recurring.” Since 2020, the company has believed that Hytera-related legal expenses have not been part of its “normal and recurring” legal expenses incurred to operate its business and has accordingly excluded such expenses from its GAAP operating Income. 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 approximately $61 million realized in 2024 and $157 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 expense 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 expense primarily because it represents a significant non-cash expense. Share-based compensation expense 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 earnings 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 year ended December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2024 and an adjustment is reflected to include these shares for non-GAAP diluted earnings per share.
