Executive Overview
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: Land Mobile Radio Communications (“LMR” or “LMR Communications”), Video Security and Access Control ("Video") and Command Center.
-
LMR Communications: Infrastructure, devices (two-way radio and broadband, including both for public safety and professional and commercial radio (PCR)) and software that enable communications, inclusive of installation and integration, backed by services, to assure 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 help enable visibility and bring attention to what’s important.
-
Command Center: Command center solutions and software applications that unify voice, video, data and analytics from public safety agencies, enterprises and the community to create a broad informational view to help simplify workflows and improve the accuracy and speed of decisions.
Subsequent to the quarter end, with the acquisition of Silvus Technologies Holdings Inc. (“Silvus”), we will now report net sales from our principal product lines by combining the former LMR Communications and newly acquired Silvus under the new technology name Mission Critical Networks (MCN).

Recent Events
Macroeconomic Environment Update
The current global tariff environment is complex and evolving. In early 2025, the United States initiated a series of trade actions which imposed new tariffs and increased existing tariffs on goods imported from various countries, contributing to a global trade landscape subject to evolving tariffs, import/export regulations, trade barriers and trade disputes. As a result, 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 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 environment, we expect increased costs on materials and components in 2025, which we currently expect to substantially mitigate.
Recent Acquisitions
On May 27, 2025, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Silvus Technologies Group LLC ("Seller") to acquire Silvus Technologies Holdings Inc. (“Silvus”), which subsequent to the quarter end closed on August 6, 2025, for $4.4 billion in upfront consideration, comprising $4.38 billion in cash, subject to customary adjustments for cash, net working capital, transaction expenses and indebtedness, and $20 million in rest

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to Motorola Solutions, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to Motorola Solutions’ management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 28, 2025 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

However, an unfavorable resolution could have a material adverse effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations in the periods in which the matters are ultimately resolved, or in the periods in which more information is obtained that changes management's opinion of the ultimate disposition.
