Filing Explained

The August 5 filing reports a $1.5 billion D-Fend acquisition agreement, not a completed purchase, with no deal-related dilution disclosed.

This Form 8-K reports Motorola Solutions’ results for the quarter ended July 4, 2026 and a definitive agreement to acquire D-Fend for $1.5 billion; the filing does not state that the acquisition has closed.

Form 8-K Item 2.02 identifies the results information as furnished financial information, with Exhibit 99.1 containing the company’s press release. Issuing additional shares would reduce existing holders’ percentage ownership, but this filing does not disclose a D-Fend-related share issuance or dilution mechanism.

The announced purchase price is $1.5 billion, and the filing does not state how the acquisition will be funded. The quarter also reported $469 million of operating cash flow, $326 million of common-stock repurchases and $201 million of dividends, while full-year 2026 revenue guidance was raised to approximately $12.975 billion and non-GAAP EPS guidance to $17.62–$17.72.

A subsequent 8-K or transaction update would resolve whether the D-Fend acquisition closed and identify any financing or share issuance used to complete it.

OTHER SELECTED FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue - Sales were $3.1 billion, up 13% from the year-ago quarter driven by growth in North America and International. Revenue from acquisitions was $243 million and foreign currency tailwinds were $35 million in the quarter. The Products and Systems Integration segment grew 15% driven by growth in Mission Critical Networks ("MCN") and Video Security and Access Control ("Video"). The Software and Services segment grew 10% driven by growth in MCN, Command Center and Video.
Operating margin - GAAP operating margin was 25.8% of sales, up from 25.0% in the year-ago quarter and Non-GAAP operating margin was 32.9% of sales, up 330 basis points from 29.6% a year ago. The increase in both GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin was driven by higher sales and improved operating leverage, inclusive of higher direct material costs and a $60 million benefit, or 190 bps, from IEEPA refunds recorded during the quarter.
Taxes - The GAAP effective tax rate during the quarter was 24.8%, versus 24.3% in the year-ago quarter and the non-GAAP effective tax rate was 22.6%, versus 23.5% in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in the non-GAAP effective tax rate was primarily driven by a higher deduction for income generated from export sales recognized in the current quarter.
Cash flow - Operating cash flow was $469 million, compared to $272 million in the year-ago quarter, and free cash flow was $414 million, compared to $224 million 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 and lower tax payments, partially offset by higher investments in inventory.
Capital allocation - During the quarter, the company repurchased $326 million of common stock at an average price of $413.53 per share, paid $201 million in cash dividends and invested $55 million in capital expenditures. The company also entered into a definitive agreement to acquire D-Fend Solutions ("D-Fend"), an industry leader in counter-drone technology, for $1.5 billion.
Backlog - The company ended the quarter with record Q2 backlog of $15.6 billion, up 11% or $1.5 billion from the year-ago quarter driven by record Q2 orders. Products and Systems Integration segment backlog was up $329 million, or 10%, driven primarily by strong demand in MCN and Video. Software and Services segment backlog was up $1.2 billion, or 11%, driven by strong demand across all three technologies.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Third quarter 2026 - The company expects revenue growth of approximately 8% compared to the third quarter of 2025 and non-GAAP EPS between $4.39 and $4.44 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 $12.975 billion, up from its prior guidance of $12.8 billion and non-GAAP EPS between $17.62 and $17.72 per share, up from the prior guidance of between $16.87 and $16.99 per share. This outlook assumes approximately 168 million of fully diluted shares and a non-GAAP effective tax rate between 22% and 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
The global trade landscape continues to shift rapidly, including evolving tariffs and import/export regulations, such as restrictions around rare earth minerals, trade barriers and trade disputes.
On February 20, 2026, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling invalidated tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). On April 20, 2026, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection launched a system to process IEEPA tariff refund claims. Following the implementation of this system, the company determined that the recovery of a portion of these refunds is now probable. Accordingly, during the quarter ended July 4, 2026, the company recognized a favorable adjustment of $60 million recorded within Cost of sales in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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 is actively managing its inventory and continues to work with its global supply base to mitigate its exposure to elevated volatility and uncertainty from these rising memory costs, as well as global tariffs 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. The company expects inventory levels to remain elevated as it mitigates this dynamic supply chain environment. The current environment has led to increased costs on materials and components, for which the company continues to develop mitigation actions going forward.

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 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, 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 July 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 $232 million against this award, $60 million of which was paid in the first half 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
5



to the company approximately $116 million in royalties subject to the Court's order. While several aspects of the court proceedings related to the 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 $60 million realized in the first half 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.
