Basis of Presentation 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.
