Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except as noted)
1.Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 27, 2025 and for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to state fairly the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, Statements of Comprehensive Income, Statements of Stockholders' Equity, and Statements of Cash Flows of Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“Motorola Solutions” or the “Company”) for all periods presented.
The Company operates on a 52-week fiscal year, with each fiscal year ending on December 31. With respect to each fiscal quarter, the Company operates on a 13-week fiscal quarter, with all fiscal quarters ending on a Saturday.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Form 10-K"). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Business Overview
The Company manages the business organizationally through two segments: “Products and Systems Integration” and “Software and Services". Within these segments the Company has three principal product lines in which the Company reports net sales: Mission Critical Networks (“MCN”), Video Security and Access Control ("Video"), and Command Center. With the acquisition of Silvus Technologies Holdings Inc. (“Silvus”) in August 2025, the Company will now report net sales from its principal product lines by combining the former Land Mobile Radio Communications and newly acquired Silvus under the new technology name Mission Critical Networks. This name change does not require any financial information to be reclassified from previous periods.
•MCN: Infrastructure, mobile ad-hoc network technology ("MANET"), devices (two-way radio and broadband, including both for public safety and professional and commercial radio (PCR)) and software, inclusive of installation and integration, and backed by managed and support services to help assure mission-critical communications availability, security and resiliency.
•Video: Cameras (fixed, body-worn, in-vehicle), access control, sensors, infrastructure, video management, software and artificial intelligence ("AI")-powered analytics that enable visibility to what's happening and bring attention to what’s important to help inform decisions and actions.
•Command Center: Command center solutions and software applications, including AI-powered analytics, that unify voice, video and data from public safety agencies, enterprises and the community, enabling a broad informational view of operations and incidents to help accelerate workflows and improve the accuracy and speed of decisions.
Recent Acquisitions
On August 6, 2025, the Company acquired Silvus from Silvus Technologies Group LLC (the "Seller"). Silvus designs and develops software-defined high-speed MANET technology that enables highly secure data, video and voice communications without the need for fixed infrastructure. This acquisition brings mobile ad-hoc network expertise and new applications to the Company's public safety and enterprise portfolio. The purchase price of $4.4 billion consisted of cash payments of $4.4 billion, net of cash acquired customary purchase price adjustments, and contingent earnout consideration that had an estimated fair value as of the acquisition date of $38 million. Under the terms of the transaction, the Seller will have the potential to earn the contingent earnout consideration upon the achievement of certain financial targets of up to $600 million in total, comprised of up to $150 million for the annual period from July 5, 2026 through July 3, 2027 and up to $450 million for the annual period from July 4, 2027 through July 1, 2028 (with the potential to earn catch-up earnout consideration based on performance in the annual period from July 4, 2027 through July 1, 2028 if the maximum earnout for the annual period from July 5, 2026 through July 3, 2027 is not earned). The earnout consideration, if any, will be paid in shares of common stock. This business is part of both the Products and Systems Integration segment and the Software and Services segment.

Remaining Performance Obligations 
Remaining performance obligations represent the revenue that is expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, as of the end of a period. The transaction value associated with remaining performance obligations which were not yet satisfied as of September 27, 2025 was $8.9 billion. A total of $3.6 billion was from Products and Systems Integration performance obligations that were not yet satisfied as of September 27, 2025, of which $1.9 billion is expected to be recognized in the next twelve months. The remaining amounts will generally be satisfied over time as systems are implemented. Remaining performance obligations from the Products and Systems Integration segment are equal to disclosed backlog for the segment. A total of $5.3 billion was from Software and Services performance obligations that were not yet satisfied as of September 27, 2025. The determination of Software and Services performance obligations that are not satisfied takes into account a contract term that may be limited by the customer’s ability to terminate for convenience. Where termination for convenience exists in the Company's service contracts, its disclosure of the remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied assumes the contract term is limited until renewal. As a result, remaining performance obligations from the Software and Services segment may be less than disclosed backlog in the Software and Services segment due to multi-year service contracts with termination for convenience clauses. The Company expects to recognize $1.8 billion from unsatisfied Software and Services performance obligations over the next twelve months, with the remaining performance obligations generally to be recognized over time as services are performed and software is implemented.
Contract Balances|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

| Accounts receivable, net | $ | 2,018 |  |  | $ | 1,952 |  |  |  |  |  |

| Non-current contract liabilities | 670 |  |  | 496 |  |  |  |  |  | 
 Payment terms on system contracts are typically tied to implementation milestones associated with progress on contracts, while revenue recognition is over time based on a cost-to-cost method of measuring performance. The Company may recognize a Contract asset or Contract liability, depending on whether revenue has been recognized in excess of billings or billings in excess of revenue. Services contracts are typically billed in advance, generating Contract liabilities until the Company has performed the services. The Company does not record a financing component to contracts when it expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of a promised good or service and related payment terms are less than a year.
Revenue recognized during the three months ended September 27, 2025 which was previously included in Contract liabilities as of June 28, 2025 was $637 million, compared to $572 million of revenue recognized during the three months ended September 28, 2024 which was previously included in Contract liabilities as of June 29, 2024. The Company recognized revenue of $1.2 billion during each of the nine months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, which was previously included in Contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Revenue of $7 million was recognized during the three months ended September 27, 2025 related to performance obligations satisfied, or partially satisfied, in previous periods, compared to $6 million recognized for the three months ended September 28, 2024, primarily driven by changes in the estimates of progress on system contracts. Revenue of $7 million was reversed during the nine months ended September 27, 2025 related to revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied, or partially satisfied, in previous periods, primarily driven by changes in the estimates of progress on system contracts, compared to $11 million of reversals for the nine months ended September 28, 2024. 
There were no material expected credit losses recorded on contract assets during each of the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024.

In connection with the acquisition of Silvus, the Seller will have the potential to earn contingent earnout consideration upon the achievement of certain financial targets payable in shares of common stock of up to $600 million in total, comprised of up to $150 million for the annual period from July 5, 2026 through July 3, 2027 and up to $450 million for the annual period from July 4, 2027 through July 1, 2028 (with the potential to earn catch-up earnout consideration based on performance in the annual period from July 4, 2027 through July 1, 2028 if the maximum earnout for the annual period from July 5, 2026 through July 3, 2027 is not earned). The estimated fair value of the total contingent earnout consideration at the acquisition date was $38 million. The shares required to settle the contingent earnout consideration will only be reflected within diluted earnings per share when and if the earnout financial targets have been achieved, in each of the two respective periods.

Accounts Payable
The Company utilizes a supplier finance program which provides our suppliers the ability to accelerate payment on the Company's invoices beyond the stated payment terms.

Supplier participation in the program is solely at the supplier's discretion, and the participating suppliers negotiate their arrangements directly with the intermediary. The Company has no economic interest in a supplier's decision to participate in the program, and their participation has no bearing on our payment terms or amounts due. The stated invoice payment terms range from 75 to 120 days from the invoice date and are considered commercially reasonable.

The Company recognized net proceeds of approximately $2.0 billion after debt issuance costs and discounts. The proceeds from these notes were used to fund a portion of the acquisition of Silvus.
On August 6, 2025 the Company borrowed $1.5 billion of senior delayed draw term loan facilities comprised of a $750 million 364-day facility and a $750 million three-year facility ("term loan due 2028") to fund a portion of the acquisition of Silvus. The Company must comply with certain customary covenants including a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the 364-Day Term Loan Credit Agreement and Three-Year Term Loan Credit Agreement, each entered into on July 21, 2025. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of September 27, 2025. During the three months ended September 27, 2025, the weighted average interest rate of the 364-day facility and the term loan due 2028 was 5.30% and 5.25%, respectively.
During the three months ended September 27, 2025, the Company repaid the $70 million aggregate principal amount of the 6.5% debentures due 2025. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 27, 2025, the Company repaid the $252 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.5% debentures due 2025.
On April 25, 2025, the Company entered into a $2.25 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in April 2030 which can be used for general corporate purposes and letters of credit (the "2025 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement"), which replaced the Company's $2.25 billion 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement scheduled to mature in March 2026. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the prime rate plus the applicable margin, or at a spread above the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), at the Company's option. An annual facility fee is payable on the undrawn amount of the credit line. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment if the Company's credit rating changes. The Company must comply with certain customary covenants including a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the 2025 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of September 27, 2025. 
The Company has an unsecured commercial paper program, backed by the 2025 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement, under which the Company may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $2.2 billion outstanding at any one time. Proceeds from the issuances of the notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The notes are issued at a zero-coupon rate and are issued at a discount which reflects the interest component. At maturity, the notes are paid back in full including the interest component. The notes are not redeemable prior to maturity. As of September 27, 2025, the Company had outstanding other short-term borrowings of $179 million, inclusive of the commercial paper program, with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.52% during the three months ended September 27, 2025. 
6.    Risk Management
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $1.3 billion and $1.0 billion for the periods ended September 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company does not believe these financial instruments should subject it to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions.
The following table shows the five largest net notional amounts of the positions to buy or sell foreign currency as of September 27, 2025, and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2024: 
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
|  | Notional Amount | 
| Net Buy (Sell) by Currency | September 27, 2025 |  | December 31, 2024 | 
| Euro | $ | 190 |  |  | $ | 150 |  | 
| British Pound | 179 |  |  | 124 |  | 
| Australian dollar | (147) |  |  | (136) |  | 
| Canadian dollar | 68 |  |  | 70 |  | 
| Brazilian Real | (50) |  |  | (23) |  | 
Counterparty Risk
The use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties. However, the Company’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instruments when the derivative is in an asset position. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk. As of September 27, 2025, all of the counterparties had investment grade credit ratings. As of September 27, 2025, the Company had $1 million of exposure to aggregate credit risk with all counterparties.

| Equity swap contracts | Selling, general and administrative expenses | 2 |  |  | 1 |  |  | 1 |  |  | 3 |  | 
Net Investment Hedges
The Company uses foreign exchange forward and option contracts to hedge against the effect of the British pound and the Euro exchange rate fluctuations against the U.S. dollar on a portion of its net investments in certain European operations. The Company recognizes changes in the fair value of the net investment hedges as a component of Foreign currency translation adjustments within Other comprehensive income to offset a portion of the change in translated value of the net investments being hedged, until the investments are sold or liquidated. As of September 27, 2025, the Company had €160 million of net investment hedges in certain Euro functional subsidiaries and £50 million of net investment hedges in a British pound functional subsidiary.
The Company excludes the difference between the spot rate and the forward rate of the forward contracts and initial time value of the options from its assessment of hedge effectiveness. The effect of the forward points recognized in forward contracts and the initial time value of the option contracts are amortized on a straight-line basis and recognized through interest expense within Other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Equity Swap Contracts
The Company uses equity swap contracts which serve as economic hedges against volatility within the equity markets, impacting the Company's deferred compensation plan obligations. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The notional amount of these contracts as of September 27, 2025 was $21 million.
Treasury Rate Lock
In 2023, the Company entered into treasury rate agreements which locked in the interest rate for $200 million in future debt issuances. The treasury rate lock agreements were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. During the nine months ended September 28, 2024, the Company issued $900 million of 5.4% senior notes due 2034 (the "2034 notes"). The treasury rate lock agreements were terminated upon the issuance of the 2034 notes for a net settlement loss of $8 million. The accumulated loss recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the ten year term of the 2034 notes.
7.    Income Taxes
At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of its annual effective income tax rate. Tax expense in interim periods is calculated at the estimated annual effective tax rate plus or minus the tax effects of items of income and expense that are discrete to the period. The estimate used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis may change in subsequent interim periods.
The following table provides details of income taxes:|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
|  | Three Months Ended |  | Nine Months Ended | 
|  | September 27, 2025 |  | September 28, 2024 |  | September 27, 2025 |  | September 28, 2024 | 
| Net earnings before income taxes | $ | 725 |  |  | $ | 695 |  |  | $ | 1,952 |  |  | $ | 1,184 |  | 
| Income tax expense | 161 |  |  | 132 |  |  | 442 |  |  | 214 |  | 
| Effective tax rate | 22 | % |  | 19 | % |  | 23 | % |  | 18 | % | 
 The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 27, 2025 of 22% was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state tax expense, partially offset by excess tax benefits of share-based compensation. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 27, 2025 of 23% was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state tax expense, partially offset by excess tax benefits of share-based compensation.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2024 of 19% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to favorable U.S. return-to-provision adjustments, excess tax benefits of share-based compensation, and tax benefits recognized upon settlement of audits with taxing authorities in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by state tax expense. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 of 18% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to favorable U.S. return-to-provision adjustments (inclusive of the tax benefit recognized upon the Company's decision to implement a business initiative in 2024 which allows for additional utilization of foreign tax credit carryforwards and a higher foreign derived intangible income deduction on its 2023 U.S. tax return), excess tax benefits of share-based compensation, and tax benefits recognized upon settlement of audits with taxing authorities in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by the non-tax deductible loss on the extinguishment of the Silver Lake Convertible Debt in 2024 and state tax expense.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 27, 2025 of 22% was higher than the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2024 of 19%, primarily due to non-deductible transaction costs related to the acquisition of Silvus, favorable U.S. return-to-provision adjustments from implementing a business initiative in 2024, and tax benefits recognized upon settlement of audits with taxing authorities in foreign jurisdictions in 2024, partially offset by higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation in 2025. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 27, 2025 of 23% was higher than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 of 18%, primarily due to the tax benefit recognized upon the Company's decision to implement a business initiative in 2024 which allowed for additional utilization of foreign tax credit carryforwards and a higher foreign derived intangible income deduction on its 2023 U.S. tax return, and tax benefits recognized upon settlement of audits with taxing authorities in foreign jurisdictions in 2024, partially offset by the non-tax deductible loss on the extinguishment of the Silver Lake Convertible Debt in 2024.
On July 4, 2025, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" was enacted into law, introducing a broad range of changes to the U.S. corporate income tax framework. The legislation includes business provisions that impact the Company's tax position, including tax cut extensions and modifications to the international tax framework and corporate income tax deductions. The Company has evaluated the effects of these changes on its income tax provision, income tax payable, and deferred tax asset balances, which are reflected in this quarter's results. As of the three months ended September 27, 2025, the 2025 impact of the enacted legislation on the Company's tax position was not material. The Company will continue to recognize the effects of the legislation in accordance with the effective dates of the applicable provisions, and plans to continue to assess the ongoing impact of this legislation as further guidance is made available.

The Company had no foreign exchange derivative contracts, equity swap contracts or common stock investments in Level 3 holdings as of September 27, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
At September 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $568 million and $1.2 billion, respectively, of investments in money market government and U.S. treasury funds classified (Level 1) as Cash and cash equivalents in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The money market funds had quoted market prices that are equivalent to par.
 Using quoted market prices and market interest rates, the fair value of the Company's long-term debt as of September 27, 2025 was $9.4 billion. The fair value of long-term debt as of December 31, 2024 was $5.8 billion.
In connection with the acquisition of Silvus, contingent earnout consideration reflects the estimated fair value of the contingent future payments to the Seller following the achievement of certain financial targets. Refer to Note 15, “Intangible Assets and Goodwill” in this “Part 1 – Financial Information” of this Form 10-Q for more information regarding the details of the contingent earnout consideration. The Company determines the fair value of its contingent earnout consideration liability using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which requires the use of Level 3 inputs, such as projected future net sales, gross margin and cash flows. At the acquisition date, the Company recorded a contingent liability of approximately $38 million, related to the estimated fair value of the contingent earnout consideration, which was included in the purchase price. For the three months ended September 27, 2025, the fair value adjustment related to the contingent earnout consideration was de minimis.
All other financial instruments are carried at cost, which is not materially different from the instruments’ fair values.

12.    Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
Hytera Civil Litigation
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 ("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. 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. Hytera has made de minimis royalty payments related to the I-Series products directly to the Company between January 2025 and July 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 the third quarter of 2025, the Company received payments of $74 million, resulting in an aggregate of $94 million of payments received in the nine months ended September 27, 2025. 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. 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 $70 million. On October 14-15, 2025, the District Court heard arguments on whether Hytera must pay the $70 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. 
Hytera Criminal Litigation
On January 13, 2025, Hytera pleaded guilty to one federal felony count of conspiracy to steal the Company's trade secrets in a criminal action brought by the U.S. Department of Justice against Hytera and several of its employees in the District Court. Hytera's sentencing has been scheduled for November 24th and 25th, 2025. Pursuant to the plea agreement, Hytera's sentence may include a fine to be paid to the government and restitution to be paid to the Company in the amount to be determined by the District Court.

15.    Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Silvus Acquisition
On August 6, 2025, the Company acquired Silvus from Silvus Technologies Group LLC (the "Seller"). Silvus designs and develops software-defined high-speed MANET technology that enables highly secure data, video and voice communications without the need for fixed infrastructure. This acquisition brings mobile ad-hoc network expertise and new applications to the Company's public safety and enterprise portfolio. The purchase price of $4.4 billion consisted of cash payments of $4.4 billion, net of cash acquired and customary purchase price adjustments, and contingent earnout consideration that had an estimated fair value as of the acquisition date of $38 million. 
Under the terms of the transaction, the Seller will have the potential to earn the contingent earnout consideration upon the achievement of certain financial targets of up to $600 million in total comprised of up to $150 million for the annual period from July 5, 2026 through July 3, 2027 and up to $450 million for the annual period from July 4, 2027 through July 1, 2028 (with the potential to earn a catch-up earnout consideration based on performance in the annual period from July 4, 2027 through July 1, 2028 if the maximum earnout for the annual period from July 5, 2026 through July 3, 2027 is not earned). The contingent earnout consideration, if any, will be paid in shares of common stock. The Company valued the contingent earnout consideration using a Monte Carlo methodology which resulted in the Company recognizing $38 million in purchase consideration at the date of close in Other liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Contingent earnout consideration will continue to be valued at fair value throughout the earnout term and until paid. Changes to the fair value of the contingent earnout consideration will be recorded as a component of operating income within Other income, net in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Company recognized goodwill of $3.0 billion which was allocated primarily to the Products and Systems Integration segment. In addition, the Company recognized $1.8 billion of intangible assets and $387 million of net liabilities, inclusive of $438 million of deferred tax liabilities and $51 million of net tangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from the other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized including future customer relationships, new technology and the assembled workforce. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. 
The identifiable intangible assets were classified as $135 million of trade names, $790 million of customer relationships and $910 million of developed technology which will be amortized over a period of twelve, twelve and eight years, respectively. The fair values of all intangible assets were estimated using the income approach. Customer relationships was valued under the excess earnings method, which assumes that the value of intangible assets is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable specifically to the intangible assets. Developed technology and trade names were valued under the relief from royalty method, which assumes value to the extent that the acquired company is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them.
This business is part of both the Products and Systems Integration segment and the Software and Services segment. The purchase accounting is not yet complete and as such, the final allocation among income tax accounts, intangible assets, net tangible assets and goodwill may be subject to change.

Recent Events
Macroeconomic Environment Update
The current global trade environment is complex and evolving. In early 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. As a result, we continue to observe elevated volatility and uncertainty around the global supply chain.
We engage with global suppliers across a diverse network of locations around the world. We continue to work with our global supply base to mitigate our exposure to the risks to global reciprocal (and sectoral) tariffs and import/export regulations that have developed, and which may continue to develop, in order to ensure supply continues at levels in order to meet our current customer demand. As a result of the dynamic tariff environment, we have experienced increased costs on materials and components, which we have substantially mitigated during the year and for which we expect to continue to develop mitigation actions going forward.
We continue to see demand for our products and services supported by a multitude of funding sources. In July 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (“OBBB”) 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. We expect OBBB to provide an additional source of funding to our federal government customers over the four-year period available through OBBB.
As of October 1, 2025 the U.S. government entered into a shutdown, which, as of October 30, 2025, is still ongoing. A prolonged shutdown may impact our ability to ship and fulfill contracts for certain federal government customers, which may negatively impact our results of operations.

Results of Operations—Three months ended September 27, 2025 compared to three months ended September 28, 2024 
The results of operations for the third quarter of 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. Historically, we have experienced higher revenues in the fourth quarter as compared to the rest of the quarters of our fiscal year as a result of the purchasing patterns of our customers.
We use the following U.S. GAAP key financial performance measures to manage our business on a consolidated basis and by reporting segment, and to monitor and assess our results of operations:
•Net sales: a measure of our revenue for the current period.
•Operating earnings: a measure of our earnings from operations, before non-operating expenses and income taxes.
•Operating margins: a measure of our operating earnings as a percentage of total net sales.
Considered together, we believe these measures are strong indicators of our overall performance and our ability to create shareholder value. A discussion of our results of operations and financial condition follows.|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

•a $4 million gain on foreign currency in the third quarter of 2025 compared to a $26 million loss on foreign currency in the third quarter of 2024; partially offset by
•a $6 million loss on derivatives in the third quarter of 2025 compared to a $22 million gain on derivatives in the third quarter of 2024.

 The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 27, 2025 of 22% was higher than the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2024 of 19%, primarily due to non-deductible transaction costs related to the acquisition of Silvus, favorable U.S. return-to-provision adjustments from implementing a business initiative in 2024, and tax benefits recognized upon settlement of audits with taxing authorities in foreign jurisdictions in 2024, partially offset by higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation in 2025.
On July 4, 2025, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" was enacted into law, introducing a broad range of changes to the U.S. corporate income tax framework. The legislation includes business provisions that impact our tax position, including tax cut extensions and modifications to the international tax framework and corporate income tax deductions. We have evaluated the effects of these changes on our income tax provision, income tax payable, and deferred tax asset balances, which are reflected in this quarter's results. As of the three months ended September 27, 2025, the 2025 impact of the enacted legislation on our tax position was not material. We will continue to recognize the effects of the legislation in accordance with the effective dates of the applicable provisions, and plan to continue to assess the ongoing impact of this legislation as further guidance is made available.

 SG&A expenses increased 8% in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024 primarily driven by:
•a $79 million, or 8%, increase in Products and Systems Integration SG&A expenses primarily due to higher employee incentive costs, including share-based compensation and investments in video, higher expenses related to legal matters, including Hytera-related legal expenses, increased reorganization expenses and higher expenses associated with acquired businesses; and
•a $27 million, or 10%, increase in Software and Services SG&A expenses primarily due to higher expenses associated with acquired businesses and higher employee incentive costs, including investments in video.

| Other charges | $ | 152 |  |  | $ | 153 |  | 
 Other charges decreased by $1 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by:
•$94 million of gains on the Hytera litigation for the amounts recovered through legal proceedings due to the theft of our trade secrets in the first nine months of 2025 that did not occur in the first nine months of 2024; partially offset by
•$63 million of acquisition related transaction fees, primarily related to the acquisition of Silvus, in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $11 million of acquisition related transaction fees in the first nine months of 2024;

 Operating earnings increased $170 million, or 9%, in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024. The increase in Operating earnings was due to:
•a $132 million increase in the Software and Services segment, primarily driven by higher sales, partially offset by higher expenses associated with acquired businesses, higher employee incentive costs, including investments in video and share-based compensation, and increased reorganization expenses; and
•a $38 million increase in the Products and Systems Integration segment, primarily driven by higher sales, $94 million of gains on the Hytera litigation for amounts recovered through legal proceedings due to the theft of our trade secrets, favorable mix, and lower direct material costs, despite higher tariffs, partially offset by higher employee incentive costs, including share-based compensation and investments in video, an increase in acquisition related transaction fees primarily related to the Silvus acquisition, increased intangible amortization expenses, higher expenses related to legal matters, including Hytera-related legal expenses, higher expenses associated with acquired businesses and increased reorganization expenses.

 The $21 million increase in Interest expense, net in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024 was primarily driven by higher outstanding debt, partially offset by interest accruals related to audits with tax authorities in foreign jurisdictions in 2024 and higher interest income.

 The $619 million increase in Other, net in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024 was primarily driven by:
•a $585 million loss from the extinguishment of the $1.0 billion of 1.75% senior convertible notes issued to Silver Lake Partners (the "Silver Lake Convertible Debt") which was recognized in the first nine months of 2024;
•a $41 million gain on derivative instruments in the first nine months of 2025 compared to a $7 million gains on derivative instruments in the first nine months of 2024;

 The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 27, 2025 of 23% was higher than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 of 18%, primarily due to the tax benefit recognized upon the Company's decision to implement a business initiative in 2024 which allowed for additional utilization of foreign tax credit carryforwards and a higher foreign derived intangible income deduction on its 2023 U.S. tax return, and tax benefits recognized upon settlement of audits with taxing authorities in foreign jurisdictions in 2024, partially offset by the non-tax deductible loss on the extinguishment of the Silver Lake Convertible Debt in 2024.
On July 4, 2025, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" was enacted into law, introducing a broad range of changes to the U.S. corporate income tax framework. The legislation includes business provisions that impact our tax position, including tax cut extensions and modifications to the international tax framework and corporate income tax deductions. We have evaluated the effects of these changes on our income tax provision, income tax payable, and deferred tax asset balances, which are reflected in this quarter's results. As of September 27, 2025, the 2025 impact of the enacted legislation on our tax position was not material. We will continue to recognize the effects of the legislation in accordance with the effective dates of the applicable provisions, and plan to continue to assess the ongoing impact of this legislation as further guidance is made available.
Reorganization of Business
During the third quarter of 2025, we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $14 million, consisting of $12 million of charges in Other charges and $2 million of charges in Cost of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Included in the $14 million were charges of $13 million related to employee separation costs and $1 million related to exit costs.
During the first nine months of 2025, we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $45 million, including $33 million of charges recorded within Other charges and $12 million of charges in Costs of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Included in the $45 million were charges of $46 million related to employee separation costs and $2 million related to exit costs, partially offset by $3 million of reversals for employee separation accruals no longer needed.
During the third quarter of 2024, we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $7 million, including $5 million of charges recorded within Other charges and $2 million of charges in Cost of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Included in the $7 million were charges of $8 million related to employee separation costs, partially offset by $1 million of reversals for employee separation accruals that are no longer needed.
During the first nine months of 2024, we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $21 million, including $16 million of charges recorded within Other charges and $5 million of charges in Costs of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Included in the $21 million were charges of $30 million related to employee separation costs, partially offset by $4 million of reversals for exit cost accruals no longer needed and $5 million of reversals for employee separation accruals no longer needed.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents
At September 27, 2025, $645 million of the $894 million cash and cash equivalents balance was held in the U.S. and $249 million was held in other countries. 
Operating Activities
The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities from the first nine months of 2024 to the first nine months of 2025 was driven primarily by higher earnings, net of non-cash charges.
Investing Activities
The increase in cash flows used for investing activities in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024 was primarily due to the $4.4 billion in cash used in the acquisition of Silvus.
Financing Activities
The increase in cash flows provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the cash flows used for financing activities in the first nine months of 2024 was primarily driven by (see also further discussion in the "Debt," "Share Repurchase Program" and "Dividends" sections below in this Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q): 
•$1.4 billion increase in net proceeds from the issuance of debt in the first nine months of 2025 driven by the issuance of our 4.85% senior notes due 2030, 5.2% senior notes due 2032, 5.55% senior notes due 2035, 364-day delayed draw term loan and our three-year delayed draw term loan ("term loan due 2028") compared to the issuance of debt in the first nine months of 2024 driven by the issuance of our 5.0% senior notes due 2029 and 5.4% senior notes due 2034; 
•$1.6 billion decrease in the repayment of debt driven by the repayment of our 7.5% debentures and 6.5% debentures in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the repurchase of the Silver Lake Convertible Debt in the first nine months of 2024; and
•$923 million increase in net proceeds from short-term borrowings, including commercial paper, in the first nine months of 2025 which did not occur in the first nine months of 2024; partially offset by
•$523 million increase in share repurchases in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024;
•$56 million increase in the payment of dividends in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024; and
•$22 million increase in cash used for the issuance of common stock primarily driven by an increase in tax withholdings in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024.

Debt
We had outstanding debt of $9.3 billion at September 27, 2025, of which $928 million was current. We had outstanding debt of $6.0 billion at December 31, 2024, of which $322 million was current.
On June 16, 2025, we issued $600 million of 4.85% senior notes due 2030, $500 million of 5.2% senior notes due 2032, $900 million of 5.55% senior notes due 2035. We recognized net proceeds of approximately $2.0 billion after debt issuance costs and discounts. The proceeds from these notes were used to fund a portion of the acquisition of Silvus.
On August 6, 2025 we borrowed $1.5 billion of senior delayed draw term loan facilities comprised of a $750 million 364-day facility and a $750 million term loan due 2028 to fund a portion of the acquisition of Silvus. We must comply with certain customary covenants including a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the 364-Day Term Loan Credit Agreement and the Three-Year Term Loan Credit Agreement, each entered into on July 21, 2025. We were in compliance with our financial covenants as of September 27, 2025. During the three months ended September 27, 2025, the weighted average interest rate of the 364-day facility and term loan due 2028 was 5.30% and 5.25%, respectively.
During the three months ended September 27, 2025, we repaid the $70 million aggregate principal amount of the 6.5% debentures due 2025. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 27, 2025, we repaid the $252 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.5% debentures due 2025.
On April 25, 2025, we entered into a $2.25 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility scheduled to mature in April 2030 which can be used for general corporate purposes and letters of credit (the "2025 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement"), which replaced our $2.25 billion 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement scheduled to mature in March 2026. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the prime rate plus the applicable margin, or at a spread above the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), at our option. An annual facility fee is payable on the undrawn amount of the credit line. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment if our credit rating changes. We must comply with certain customary covenants including a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the 2025 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with our financial covenants as of September 27, 2025. 
We have an unsecured commercial paper program, backed by the 2025 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement, under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $2.2 billion outstanding at any one time. Proceeds from the issuances of the notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. As of September 27, 2025 we had outstanding other short-term borrowings of $179 million, inclusive of the commercial paper program, with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.52% during the three months ended September 27, 2025. 
We have investment grade ratings on our senior unsecured long-term debt. We continue to believe that we will be able to maintain sufficient access to the capital markets in the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.

During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025, we repurchased approximately 0.3 million and 1.5 million shares at an average price of $467.10 and $434.41 per share for an aggregate amount of $121 million and $664 million, excluding transaction costs and excise tax. As of September 27, 2025, we had used approximately $16.4 billion of the share repurchase authority to repurchase shares, leaving $1.6 billion of authority available for future repurchases.
Dividends
During the three and nine months ended of 2025 we paid $182 million and $546 million, respectively, in cash dividends to holders of our common stock. Subsequent to the quarter, we paid an additional $182 million in cash dividends to holders of our common stock.
Adequate Internal Funding Resources
We believe that we have adequate internal resources available to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet our expected working capital, capital expenditure and cash requirements for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future, as supported by the level of cash and cash equivalents in the U.S., the ability to repatriate funds from foreign jurisdictions, cash provided by operations, as well as liquidity provided by our commercial paper program backed by the 2025 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. 
We do not anticipate a material decrease to net future cash flows generated from operations. We expect to use our available cash, investments, and debt facilities to support and invest in our business. This includes investing in our existing products and technologies, seeking new acquisition opportunities related to our strategic growth initiatives and returning cash to shareholders through common stock cash dividend payments (subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors) and share repurchases. 
Subsequent to entering into a purchase and sale agreement with Silvus, our corporate credit ratings were reaffirmed by the major rating agencies. Fitch Ratings and S&P Global Ratings reaffirmed our BBB ratings, and Moody's Investors Service reaffirmed our Baa2 rating.
Long-Term Customer Financing Commitments
We had outstanding commitments to provide long-term financing to third parties totaling $218 million at September 27, 2025, compared to $105 million at December 31, 2024.
