Executive Overview

Business Overview

The Company manages the business through two segments: “Products and Systems Integration” and “Software and Services.” Within these segments, the Company reports net sales across three principal product lines:

• MCN: Infrastructure, mobile ad-hoc network ("MANET") technology, devices (two-way radio and broadband, including both for public safety and professional and commercial radio ("PCR")), software and artificial intelligence ("AI")-powered capabilities. MCN includes installation and integration, 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, video monitoring, software and AI-powered analytics that enable visibility of events and focus attention on what's important, to inform faster and more accurate decisions and actions; and

• Command Center: Command center solutions, software applications and AI-powered capabilities, that unify voice and data from public safety agencies, enterprises and the community, enabling a broad informational view of operations and incidents while helping to accelerate workflows and improve the accuracy, speed and trust of decisions.

We have invested across these three technologies organically and through acquisitions to evolve our land mobile radio ("LMR") focus and expand our ecosystem of safety and security products and services. Across all three technologies, we offer AI-powered capabilities and software solutions, services such as cybersecurity subscription services and managed and support services.

• Operating cash flow increased $137 million to $920 million in the first half of 2026 compared to $783 million in the first half of 2025.

• We repurchased $444 million of common stock and paid $402 million in dividends in the first half of 2026.

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, we have determined that the recovery of a portion of these refunds is now probable. Accordingly, during the quarter ended July 4, 2026, we recognized a favorable adjustment of $60 million recorded within Cost of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In addition, we are experiencing higher costs for memory in our products which is a result of substantial demand in the market driven by AI. 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 are actively managing our inventory and continue to work with our global supply base to mitigate our 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 our current customer demand. We expect inventory levels to remain elevated as we mitigate this dynamic supply chain environment. The current environment has led to increased costs on materials and components, for which we continue to develop mitigation actions going forward.

There have been no material changes to our interest rate risk or foreign currency risk during the six months ended July 4, 2026. For a discussion of our exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk, refer to our disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of the Form 10-K.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). 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 July 4, 2026 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
