Note 19 - Segment Data

Our operations comprise two reportable segments: the TASER segment and the Software and Sensors segment. In both segments, we report sales of products and services. Service revenue in both segments includes sales related to Axon Evidence. In the TASER segment, service revenue also includes digital subscription training content. In the Software and Sensors segment, service revenue also includes other recurring cloud-hosted software revenue and related professional services. Collectively, this revenue is sometimes referred to as “Axon Cloud revenue.”  Our Chief Executive Officer, who is the CODM, is not provided asset information or SG&A expenses by segment.

Information relative to our reportable segments was as follows (in thousands):
