- Our strategy includes maintaining a significant portion of our business through a subscription model, which aligns with the municipal budgeting process of our customers and allows for multiple product offerings to be combined into existing subscriptions. This approach differs from a traditional hardware sale, where the entire hardware payment is commonly invoiced upon shipment, by spreading payments over the subscription or installment period. While this model provides predictable recurring reve | We record an estimate of expected credit losses and perform ongoing reviews of trade accounts receivables. However, if we become aware of information related to the creditworthiness of a major customer, or if future actual default rates on receivables in general differ from those currently anticipated, we may have to adjust our expected credit loss reserve. Such adjustments could negatively impact earnings and require additional resources for collections or restructuring customer payment terms.

- Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution from outstanding stock-based awards, our 2027 Notes, and warrants to acquire shares of our common stock (the “Warrants” or “2027 Warrants”).

In addition, our inability to establish relationships with and retain distributors who we believe can successfully sell our products would materially adverse | In certain states and foreign jurisdictions, we have chosen to sell directly with law enforcement customers rather than through established distribution channels.

- Additionally, government procurement processes are often subject to scheduling delays and uncertainties, which can disrupt anticipated sales. Federal agencies, in particular, are vulnerable to broader governmental challenges, such as funding and debt limit constraints, which resulted in a government shutdown in this quarter as well as previous shutdowns, including those in 2018 and 2019. | While we enter into contracts for the delivery of products and services in the future, and anticipate that these contracts will be completed, if agencies fail to appropriate funds in future year budgets, terminate contracts for convenience, or if other cancellation clauses are invoked, this would prevent us from recognizing anticipated revenue and cash flow.

If these shortfalls are not offset by corresponding reductions in expenses, our financial performance and overall business could be adversely affected. We cannot anticipate if, when, or to what extent our customers might terminate their contracts with us.
- Fulfilling our debt obligations requires significant cash resources, which may exceed our available cash flow.
- Our ability to meet our debt obligations, including making our scheduled payments of the principal and interest payments or refinancing our indebtedness, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions and strategies regarding the future. We intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe-harbor provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events; they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements. However, not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.
We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and potentially inaccurate assumptions. Many events beyond our control may determine whether results we anticipate will be achieved. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could differ materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. You should bear this in mind as you consider forward-looking statements. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q lists various important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical and expected results, which are set forth more fully in Part II, Item 1A. These factors are intended as cautionary statements for investors within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Readers can find them under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and investors should refer to them. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.
Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Form 8-K, 10-Q and 10-K reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Our filings with the SEC may be accessed at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.

Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Axon Enterprise, Inc. (“Axon”, the “Company”, “we”, or “us”) is a provider of public safety technology solutions. Our mission is to protect life in service of promoting peace, justice and strong institutions.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Axon Enterprise, Inc. and our subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated.
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information related to our organization, significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) has been condensed or omitted. The accounting policies followed in the preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed on our amended 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented and the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate when read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our amended 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024. Certain amounts in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year (or any other period). The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. We believe the estimates used in the preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of accounts and notes receivable, contract assets and cash. Historically, we have experienced an immaterial level of write-offs related to uncollectible accounts.
We hold the majority of our cash and cash equivalents accounts at three depository institutions. As of September 30, 2025, the aggregate balances in such accounts were $ 1.3 billion. Our balances with these and other institutions regularly exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits for domestic deposits and various deposit insurance programs in countries such as Australia, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and Vietnam. To manage the related credit exposure, management continually monitors the creditworthiness of the financial institutions where we have deposits.
Major Customers / Suppliers
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, no customer represented more than 10% of total net sales. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no customer represented more th an 10% o f the aggregate balance of accounts and notes receivable and contract assets. For additional details, refer to Note 2.
We currently purchase both off-the-shelf and custom components, including finished circuit boards, injection-molded plastic components, small machined parts, custom cartridge components, electronic components and sub-assemblies from suppliers located in the United States, Taiwan, Mexico, China, Germany and the Republic of Korea, among others. Although we currently obtain components from single source suppliers, we own substantially all injection-molded component tooling, designs and test fixtures used in production for all custom components. As a result, we believe we could obtain alternative suppliers in most cases. We acquire most of our components on a purchase order basis and do not currently have significant long-term purchase contracts with most component suppliers.

Segment Information
As previously disclosed within our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025, we realigned our business into two reportable segments, Connected Devices and Software and Services (the “Segment Realignment”). As a result of the Segment Realignment, we have recast our segment and other relevant disclosures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 to conform to the new presentation.
Reportable segments are determined based on discrete financial information provided to our Chief Executive Officer who is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). In deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance, the CODM reviews adjusted gross margin by segment to evaluate segment profitability, identify cost trends and make operational decisions to support our segments. Accordingly, t he segment measure of profit and loss used by the CODM is adjusted gross margin, defined as gross margin before stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, inventory step-up amortization related to acquisitions, and payroll taxes related to the Axon Enterprise, Inc. 2024 Employee eXponential Stock Plan vesting (the “2024 Employee XSP”). For additional details, refer to Note 16.
In addition, the CODM reviews consolidated financials and revenue by major geography and product and service lines. Consolidated financials provide a holistic view of our overall financial health to guide capital allocation and entity-wide decisions. Disaggregated views of revenue by major geography and product line support the evaluation of specific market and product performance to understand customer trends. There are no operating segments that are aggregated, and there are no inter-segment sales. Assets and other expense items, such as research and development and selling, general, and administrative expenses, are not provided to the CODM by segment, as our CODM does not evaluate our operating segments using this discrete information. As such, these items are not relevant to adjusted gross margin leveraged by the CODM to assess segment performance. As a result, they are not disclosed by segment. We perform an analysis of our reportable segments at least annually.
Geographic Information
Most of our sales to international customers are transacted in foreign currencies and are attributed to each country based on the shipping address of the distributor or customer. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, no individual country outside the United States represented more than 10% of total net sales. Substantially all of our assets are located in the United States. For additional details, refer to Note 2.
Most of our long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and right-of-use lease assets are located within the United States. International long-lived assets are immaterial. Additionally, the majority of our revenues are generated within the United States.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash balances were $ 12.3 million and $ 11.9 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. This balance is primarily attributable to a $ 9.7 million payment held in escrow related to the potential construction of our headquarters building in Scottsdale, Arizona. Restricted cash also includes funds held in international bank accounts for various operating and financing activities. As of September 30, 2025, approximately $ 12.2 million was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder in other long-term assets.

Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution from outstanding stock-based awards, our 2027 Notes, and warrants to acquire shares of our common stock (the “Warrants” or “2027 Warrants”). The effects of outstanding stock-based awards, our 2027 Notes, and our 2027 Warrants are excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive. For additional information regarding our 2027 Notes and 2027 Warrants, refer to Note 10.
The calculation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding and earnings per share is as follows (in thousands except per share data):

Note 7 - Strategic Investments
Strategic investments include equity and debt investments in a number of non-public technology driven companies. We generally account for strategic equity investments under the ASC 321 measurement alternative for equity securities without readily determinable fair values, as there are no quoted market prices for the equity investments. The equity investments are measured at cost less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes and are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value may be less than its carrying value. For the debt security strategic investments, we have elected to account for these investments and the associated embedded derivatives utilizing the fair value option. Unrealized and realized changes in fair value for the entire hybrid instruments are recorded within other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we closed a series of transactions to acquire additional equity interests in an existing strategic investee for an aggregate amount of $ 215.1 million.
During the first quarter of 2025, we also recognized a gain of $ 167.4 million related to an observable price change of a separate existing strategic investee. Furthermore, we entered into a series of transactions to sell certain interests and recognized proceeds from the sales of $ 340.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Previously unrealized gains of $ 320.8 million were realized from the collective sales, net of $ 1.3 million of transaction costs.
During the third quarter of 2025, a strategic investee completed a change-of-control transaction resulting in liquidation of the entity and distribution of consideration to its shareholders. In connection with the transaction, we received consideration of $ 36.9 million. We recognized a gain of $ 14.6 million from the sale, net of $ 0.1 million of transaction costs. Previously unrealized gains of $ 2.6 million were realized as a result of this sale.

Note 8 - Variable Interest Entities
We evaluate our investments and other significant relationships to determine whether any investee is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). If we conclude that an investee is a VIE, we evaluate our power to direct the activities of the investee, our obligation to absorb the expected losses of the investee and our right to receive the expected residual returns of the investee to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of the investee. If we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we will consolidate such entity and reflect the non-controlling interest of other beneficiaries of that entity.
17
Table of Contents
We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE by performing an analysis that principally considers:
• The VIE’s purpose, design, and risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders;
• The VIE’s capital structure;
• The terms between the VIE and its variable interest holders and other parties involved with the VIE; and
• Related party affiliations.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the unconsolidated non-public VIEs in which we hold variable interests were as follows (in thousands):

Carrying value of variable interest - assets (1)
$ 3,824 $ 25,171
(1) Balance reflects the maximum exposure to loss, which is limited to the carrying value of the interest.
The primary purpose of our U.S.-based, unconsolidated VIE investments is to create strategic partnerships with market-leading providers of public safety technology solutions. We present all variable interests in unconsolidated VIEs as strategic investments within the long-term assets section of the consolidated balance sheets .
We have provided financial support to the unconsolidated VIEs in exchange for investments in debt and equity securities as well as warrants or call options that give us the ability to commit additional capital over time. Financial support provided to the unconsolidated VIEs is used to continue to finance their operations.

Therefore, the 2027 Notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, were classified as current liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
2030 and 2033 Notes
In March 2025, we issued $ 1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) and $ 750.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes” and, together with the 2030 Notes, the “Senior Notes”) in a private offering. The 2030 Notes will mature on March 15, 2030 unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. Interest on the 2030 Notes accrues from March 11, 2025 and is payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2025, at a rate of 6.125 % per year. The 2033 Notes will mature on March 15, 2033 unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. Interest on the 2033 Notes accrues from March 11, 2025 and is payable semia nnually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2025, at a rate of 6.250 % per year. The total combined gross proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes, were $ 1.75 billion, and after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and other debt issuance costs of approximately $ 22.4 million, the total combined net proceeds were approximately $ 1.73 billion. The effective interest rate for the 2030 Notes and 2033 Notes was 6.42 % and 6.45 %, respectively, including interest payable and amortization of debt issuance costs.
Each of the series of Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture. Such indentures contain certain restrictions on liens, mergers, consolidations and transfers of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. Additionally, upon the occurrence of specified change of control triggering events, we will be required to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at 101 % of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the purchase date. The indentures set forth certain events of default after which the Senior Notes may be declared immediately due and payable, as well as certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default after which the Senior Notes become automatically due and payable.
Prior to March 15, 2027, we may redeem the 2030 Notes at our option, in whole or in part at any time, at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes redeemed, plus a “make whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, we may redeem up to 40 % of the aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes at any time before March 15, 2027, with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.125 % of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. On or after March 15, 2027, we may redeem the 2030 Notes at our option, in whole or in part at any time, at a redemption price equal to the percentage of principal amount set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any:

2027 Notes
In December 2022, we issued $ 690.0 million aggregate principal amount of our Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) in a private offering, of which the aggregate principal amount included the exercise in full of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase up to an additional $ 90.0 million principal amount. The 2027 Notes mature on December 15, 2027 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 0.50 % per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2023. The total combined gross proceeds from the issuance of the 2027 Notes wer e $ 690.0 million, and after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and other debt issuance costs of $ 16.2 million, the total combin ed net proceeds were approximately $ 673.8 million. The effective interest rate for the 2027 Notes was 0.99 % and included interest payable and amortization of debt issuance costs.

The terms of the 2027 Notes require conversion into cash up to the principal amount, with conversion into common stock, cash, or a combination of cash and common stock, at our option, for any amount in excess of the principal. Any shares issued upon conversion are recorded in stockholders' equity. The 2027 Notes are convertible, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holders prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 15, 2027 only under the following circumstances:
• during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2023 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price per common stock exceeds 130 % of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;
• any time preceding September 15, 2027, when during the five consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the “Measurement Period”), if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2027 Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98 % of the product of the last reported sale price per share of common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day;

• upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on our ordinary shares, as provided in the indenture governing the 2027 Notes;
• if we call the 2027 Notes for redemption; or any time from, and including, September 15, 2027 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date
If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the 2027 Notes), holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2027 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to but excluding the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, following certain corporate events or if we issue a notice of redemption, it may increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their 2027 Notes in connection with such corporate event or during the relevant redemption period.
On or after December 22, 2025, we may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2027 Notes in accordance with the optional redemption terms of the convertible debt agreement.
In March 2025, we entered into and closed separate, privately negotiated agreements with certain holders (the “Holders”) of the 2027 Notes to exchange approximately $ 407.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes for consideration consisting of cash and shares of our common stock that were determined over an averaging period commencing on March 7, 2025 and ending on March 10, 2025 (the “Exchange Transactions”). The consideration transferred to the Holders aggregated to $ 408.0 million in cash (inclusive of accrued interest and cash paid for fractional shares) and an aggregate of 1,038,259 shares of our common stock. The Exchange Transactions were accounted for as induced conversions, and we recognized an expense of $ 26.2 million, calculated as of the date the inducement offers were accepted, representing the excess of the equity consideration transferred in the Exchange Transactions over the fair value of securities and other consideration issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms defined in the indenture governing the 2027 Notes. We also recognized approximately $ 2.5 million of third-party transaction costs which were expensed as a cost of inducement. As a result, we recorded an aggregate of $ 28.7 million of induced conversion expense within other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As a result of the Exchange Transactions, we recorded $ 26.1 million in additional paid-in capital and we reclassified $ 5.3 million of unamortized debt issuance costs into equity as part of the derecognition of the associated net carrying amount of the portion of the 2027 Notes which were exchanged, resulting in a net impact of $ 20.8 million to equity related to the Exchange Transactions. Following the closing of the Exchange Transactions, we have approximately $ 282.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes outstanding. The effective interest rate for the outstanding 2027 Notes after the Exchange Transactions is 0.98 % and includes interest payable and amortization of debt issuance costs. The Exchange Transactions did not impact the Note Hedge or Warrants, which remain outstanding and are discussed in further detail below.

Convertible Note Hedge
To reduce the impact of potential economic dilution upon conversion of the 2027 Notes, we entered into a convertible note hedge transaction (the “Note Hedge” or “2027 Note Hedge”) with certain investment banks, with respect to our common stock, concurrently with the issuance of the 2027 Notes.
Purchase Price
(in thousands) Shares Purchased
2027 Note Hedge $ 194,994 3,016,680
The Note Hedge covers shares of our common stock at a strike price per share that corresponds to the initial conversion price of the respective 2027 Notes, subject to adjustment, and is exercisable upon conversion of the 2027 Notes. If exercised, we may elect to receive cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares. Any shares received upon exercise of the options underlying the 2027 Notes are considered treasury stock. We have accounted for the aggregate amount of purchase price for the Note Hedge as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. The Note Hedge will expire upon the maturity of the 2027 Notes. The Note Hedge is intended to reduce the potential economic dilution upon conversion of the 2027 Notes in the event that the market value per share of our common stock at the time of exercise is greater than the conversion price of the 2027 Notes. The Note Hedge is a separate transaction and is not part of the terms of the 2027 Notes. Holders of the 2027 Notes do not have any rights with respect to the Note Hedge. The Note Hedge does not impact earnings per share, as it was entered into to offset any dilution from the 2027 Notes. Considering the impact of any voluntary conversions and concurrent hedge option exercises as of September 30, 2025, 3,016,597 sh ares remain subject to the Note Hedge.

If the average market value per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the Warrants, such Warrants would have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share to the extent we report net income. According to the terms of the Warrants, the Warrants will be automatically exercised over a 60 -trading day period beginning on the first expiration date as set forth above.

Therefore, the Notes were classified as current liabilities within our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2025.

Note 11 - Income Taxes
In the third quarter of 2025, we implemented the relevant provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), enacted on July 4, 2025. As a result, we recognized a reduction in our R&D tax credit and we have accelerated the expense recognition of certain previously capitalized R&D costs.
Effective Tax Rate
The overall effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was 113.9 %, significantly higher than the federal statutory rate due to lower pre-tax book income in the current period, magnifying the relative impact of permanent and discrete items. A major driver of the increase in rate was the enactment of the OBBBA in the quarter, which resulted in a reduction in our R&D tax credit. The effective tax rate was favorably impacted by a $ 15.4 million net tax benefit related to stock-based compensation for stock awards that vested during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
By comparison, our overall effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was 15.8 %. This rate differed from the federal statutory rate due to the net favorable impacts of stock-based compensation and R&D tax credits. The effective tax rate was favorably impacted by a $ 5.6 million net tax benefit related to stock-based compensation for stock awards that vested during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Our overall effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was ( 43.1 )%. This rate differs from the federal statutory rate due to the net favorable impacts of stock-based compensation and R&D tax credits, partially offset by an increase in uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate was favorably impacted by a $ 84.2 million net tax benefit related to stock-based compensation for stock awards that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
By comparison, our overall effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 18.6 %. This rate differed from the federal statutory rate due to the net favorable impact of stock-based compensation, R&D tax credits, and a net gain related to an investment transaction not recognized for tax purposes. The effective tax rate was favorably impacted by a $ 13.0 million net tax benefit related to stock-based compensation for stock awards that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Deferred Tax Assets
The change in deferred tax balances from $ 301.9 million as of December 31, 2024 to $ 342.7 million as of September 30, 2025, was primarily driven by a reduction and realization of previous unrealized mark-to-market gains, increase in stock-based-compensation expense not deductible until vest; partially offset by the reversal of certain deferred tax assets through additional paid-in-capital, associated with the partial repurchase of our 2027 Notes.
Note 12 - Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock and Preferred Stock
We have authorized the issuance of two classes of stock designated as “common stock” and “preferred stock,” each having a par value of $ 0.00001 per share. We are authorized to issue 200 million shares of common stock and 25 million shares of preferred stock.
2024 Employee XSP and 2024 CEO Performance Award
On May 10, 2024, our shareholders approved the 2024 Employee XSP. The 2024 Employee XSP includes an approved pool of approximately 4.5 million shares of common stock reserved for grants of eXponential Stock Units (“XSUs”) to employees, of which approximately 0.8 million XSUs remain available to grant to employees under this program as of September 30, 2025. A total of approximately 0.1 million XSUs were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The program includes seven substantially equal tranches that wi ll vest upon certification by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors upon achievement of three independent vesting conditions: (1) stock price goals; (2) operational goals; and (3) minimum service conditions.

Table of Contents
Additionally, on May 10, 2024, shareholders approved a grant of 679,102 XSUs to our CEO, Patrick Smith, (the “ 2024 CEO Performance Award ” ). The stock price goals and operational goals applicable to the 2024 CEO Performance Award are identical to those under the 2024 Employee XSP, but Mr. Smith is subject to a longer minimum required service period.

As the operational goals for Tranches 1 and 2 were met as of December 31, 2024, no further adjustment to the adjusted EBITDA goals for these tranches was made in the current period, in accordance with the terms of the awards.

Total stock-based compensation expense $ 146,152 $ 101,780 $ 425,635 $ 251,716
Stock Incentive Plan
In May 2024, our shareholders approved the Axon Enterprise, Inc. Amended and Restated 2022 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Amended 2022 Plan”) authorizing an additional 2.2 million shares, plus remaining available shares under prior plans, for issuance under the Amended 2022 Plan. Combined with the shares of our common stock available under our legacy stock incentive plans, there are 3.2 million shares of our common stock available for grant under the Amended 2022 Plan as of September 30, 2025.
At-The-Market Equity Offering
We participate in an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM”), pursuant to which we are authorized to sell up to a total of approximately 2.0 million shares of our common stock.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we sold approximately 0.5 million shares of our common stock under our ATM. We generated approximately $ 366.3 million in aggregate gross proceeds from sales under the ATM. We recorded aggregate net proceeds of $ 362.1 million in additional paid-in capital after deducting related expenses, including commissions to the sales agent and issuance costs of $ 4.2 million. As of September 30, 2025, $ 0.1 million of these costs were not yet paid.
As of September 30, 2025, there were approximately 1.5 million shares remaining. We utilize the net proceeds from this offering program for general corporate purposes, which may include providing capital to satisfy a portion of the tax obligations related to the vesting and settlement of stock compensation awards granted to our employees under our stock plans and funding ongoing strategic investments and acquisitions as we continue to expand our product ecosystem.
Stock Repurchase Plan
In February 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $ 50.0 million of our outstanding common stock subject to stock market conditions and corporate considerations. As of September 30, 2025, $ 16.3 million remained available under the plan for future purchases.
Note 13 - Line of Credit
In December 2022, we entered into a credit agreement that provides for a senior unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 200.0 million, $ 30.0 million of which is available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Credit Agreement originally matured on the earlier of December 15, 2027 or the date that is six months prior to the stated maturity date of the 2027 Notes unless the 2027 Notes had been redeemed, repurchased, converted or defeased in full. Additionally, the Credit Agreement had an accordion feature which allowed for an increase in the total line of credit up to $ 300.0 million, in each lender’s sole discretion.
26
Table of Contents
In March 2025, immediately prior to the consummation of the closing of the 2030 and 2033 Notes offering, we entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment increased the existing revolving credit facility by $ 100.0 million to a total aggregate principal amount of $ 300.0 million (with an accordion feature which allows for an increase in the total line of credit up to $ 400.0 million), increased availability for the issuance of letters of credit by $ 20.0 million to $ 50.0 million, extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from December 15, 2027 to March 11, 2030 (or, in each case, the date that is six months prior to the stated maturity date of the 2027 Notes unless the 2027 Notes have been redeemed, repurchased, converted or defeased in full), permitted the 2030 and 2033 Notes offering, and provided for other updates to the covenants and terms of the Credit Agreement.
As of September 30, 2025, no amounts were drawn under the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the line of credit, available borrowings are reduced by outstanding letters of credit. As of September 30, 2025, we had letters of credit outstanding of approximately $ 8.9 million under the facility and available borrowing of $ 291.1 million, excluding amounts available under the accordion feature. Advances under the line of credit bear interest at Term SOFR plus 1.25 to 1.75 % per year determined in accordance with a pricing grid based on our net leverage ratio and consolidated interest coverage ratio discussed further below. “SOFR” is defined as a rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate.
We are required to comply with a net leverage ratio, defined as conso lidated total indebtedness to EBITDA, and a consolidated interest coverage ratio, defined as EBITDA to consolidated interest expense. As of September 30, 2025, we are in compliance with the associated covenants under the Credit Agreement.
Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies
Product Litigation
As a manufacturer of weapons and other law enforcement tools used in high-risk field environments, we are often the subject of products liability litigation concerning the use of our products. We are currently named as a defenda nt in two s uch lawsuits in which the plaintiffs allege either wrongful death or personal injury in situations in which a TASER CED was used by law enforcement officers in connection with arrests or training. While the facts vary from case to case, these product liability claims typically allege defective product design, manufacturing, and/or failure to warn. They seek compensatory and sometimes punitive damages, often in unspecified amounts.
We continue to aggressively defend all product litigation. As a general rule, it is our policy not to settle suspect injury or death cases. Exceptions are sometimes made where the settlement is strategically beneficial to us. Due to the confidential nature of our litigation strategy and the confidentiality agreements that are executed in the event of a settlement, we do not identify or comment on specific settlements by case or amount. Based on current information, we do not believe that the outcome of any such legal proceeding will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We are self-insured for the first $ 5.0 million of any product claim made after 2014. No judgment or settlement has ever exceeded this amount in any products liability case. We continue to maintain product liability insurance coverage, including an insurance policy fronting arrangement, above our self-insured retention with various limits depending on the policy period.
Other Matters
Despite the Federal Trade Commission’s (“FTC”) dismissal of its administrative enforcement complaint against us without consent decree or other condition in October 2023, other parties continue to allege that our May 2018 acquisition of an insolvent body camera competitor, Vievu LLC, was anticompetitive. Pending in the District of New Jersey (Case No. 3:23-cv-7182) is a purported antitrust class action brought by three municipalities based largely on the FTC’s unproven allegations. We deny all allegations of anticompetitive or other misconduct and are vigorously defending the case.
27
Table of Contents
Pending in the Eastern District of Virginia (Case No. 1:24-CV-01625) is a patent infringement suit filed by Airspace Systems, Inc. (“Airspace”) against Dedrone involving certain drone technology. After we acquired Dedrone on October 1, 2024, Airspace amended its complaint and added us as a defendant. Airspace seeks injunctive relief and treble damages in an unspecified amount. We and Dedrone deny infringement and further contend that the three asserted patents are invalid and/or contain patent ineligible subject matter. To that end, we have simultaneously challenged all three patents in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the court has stayed the litigation. On October 8, 2025, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board granted our petitions and instituted review on all claims of all three asserted patents. By statute, a decision is required within one year or October 8, 2026. It is expected that the district court litigation will remain stayed during this time.
General
From time to time, we are notified that we may be a party to a lawsuit or that a claim is being made against us. After carefully assessing the claim, and assuming we determine that we are not at fault or we disagree with the damages or relief demanded, we vigorously defend any lawsuit filed against us. We record a liability when losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. When losses are deemed reasonably possible but not probable, we determine whether it is possible to provide an estimate of the amount of the loss or range of possible losses for the claim, if material for disclosure. In evaluating matters for accrual and disclosure purposes, we take into consideration factors such as our historical experience with matters of a similar nature, the specific facts and circumstances asserted, the likelihood of our prevailing, the availability of insurance, and the severity of any potential loss. We reevaluate and update accruals as matters progress over time.
Based on our assessment of outstanding litigation and claims as of September 30, 2025, we have determined that it is not reasonably possible that these losses, if any, from lawsuits will individually, or in the aggregate, materially affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. H owever, the outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance that any expense, liability or damages that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters will be covered by our insurance or will not be in excess of amounts recognized or provided by insurance coverage and will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Under certain circumstances, we use letters of credit and surety bonds to guarantee our performance under various contracts, principally in connection with the installation and integration of Axon cameras and related technologies. Certain of our letters of credit and surety bonds have stated expiration dates with others being released as the contractual performance terms are completed. At September 30, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit issued under our credit facility of $ 8.9 million that are expected to expire through 2026. We also had outstanding letters of credit of $ 0.3 million that do not draw against our credit facility. Additionally, we had $ 22.0 million of outstanding surety bonds as of September 30, 2025, with expiration dates ranging through 2029.

These costs were expensed as incurred in selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
The purchase price allocation was subject to revision during the measurement period through September 30, 2025. As of the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded various measurement period adjustments primarily consisting of adjustments to working capital resulting in a $ 7.5 million decrease to goodwill. These measurement period adjustments also include $ 3.3 million indemnification assets related to certain pre-acquisition contingencies.
Based on the final purchase price allocation, including measurement period adjustments, we have recorded $ 443.6 million of goodwill, $ 100.5 million of identifiable intangible assets, and other net liabilities assumed of $ 43.9 million, excluding deferred taxes.

Other Acquisitions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we completed certain acquisitions for total purchase consideration of approximately $ 24.0 million primarily to enhance our end-to-end public safety ecosystem. The acquisitions were not material to our consolidated statements of operations, either individually or in the aggregate.
Note 18 - Subsequent Events
Invictus Apps, Inc.
In October 2025, we acquired the remaining outstanding stock of Invictus Apps, Inc. (“Prepared”), a leading provider of AI-powered emergency communications software, for a base purchase price of $ 637.5 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The goodwill associated with this acquisition is currently expected to be recorded to our Software and Services segment. The acquisition aligns with our mission and positions us to accelerate next-generation public safety communications and emergency response solutions.
Prior to this transaction, we held an approximately 1 % ownership interest in Prepared. This transaction is considered a “step acquisition” under GAAP whereby our ownership interest held before the acquisition is required to be remeasured to fair value at the date of the acquisition.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition as of September 30, 2025, and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our amended 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on May 7, 2025. The discussion includes references to non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted gross margin, which supplement our GAAP results by providing additional insight into our financial and operational performance. For definitions and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, refer to “Non-GAAP Measures” within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to those described under “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.” See also “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page ii of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
Axon is a technology leader in global public safety. Our moonshot goal is to cut gun-related deaths between police and the public in the United States in half by 2033. Axon is building the public safety operating system of the future by integrating a suite of hardware devices and cloud software solutions that not only revolutionize modern policing but also cater to federal agencies, corrections, justice and enterprise-level security needs. Axon’s suite includes cloud-hosted digital evidence management solutions, productivity and real-time operations software, body cameras, in-car cameras, TASER energy devices, drone and robotic security, and training solutions. Our financial results are reported in two reportable segments, Connected Devices and Software and Services.
Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $710.6 million, an increase of $166.4 million, or 30.6%, from the three months ended September 30, 2024. We had loss from operations of $2.1 million, compared to income from operations of $24.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Gross margin dollars increased $ 96.6 million and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 60.1% from 60.8% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted gross margin decreased to 62.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 63.2% for the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by global tariffs and a higher mix of Platform Solutions revenue, partially offset by Software and Services. Operating expenses increased by $122.8 million, reflecting increased headcount to support business growth and stock-based compensation expense. Net loss of $2.2 million included a $17.9 million tax provision, net realized and unrealized gains of $14.6 million related to our strategic investments, and a net realized and unrealized gain of $8.3 million related to our marketable securities. Net income of $67.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 included a noncash unrealized gain of $44.0 million on our investment in marketable securities.
Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $2.0 billion, an increase of $475.4 million, or 31.5%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We had loss from operations of $12.0 million, compared to income from operations of $74.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Gross margin dollars increased $301.3 million and increased as a percentage of revenue to 60.4% from 59.4% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by leverage on stock-based compensation expense and intangibles amortization. Adjusted gross margin remained consistent at 63.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. Operating expenses increased by $387.6 million, reflecting increased headcount to support business growth and stock-based compensation expense. Net income of $121.9 million included net realized and unrealized gains of $180.6 million related to our strategic investments and a $36.7 million tax benefit, partially offset by a net realized and unrealized loss of 46.0 million related to our marketable securities and inducement expense of $28.7 million associated with the early repurchase of a portion of our 2027 Notes, as discussed further within Note 10. Net income of $241.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 included a realized gain of $42.3 million related to our acquisition in Fusus, unrealized gains of $76.2 million related to our strategic investments, and a noncash unrealized gain of $73.6 million on our investment in marketable securities.

Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 113.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 15.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in tax provision is driven by lower pre-tax book income in the current period, magnifying the impact of permanent and discrete items. The major driver of the increase in rate was the enactment of the OBBBA in the quarter, which resulted in a reduction of our R&D tax credit, partially offset by the net tax benefit related to stock-based compensation.

Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was (43.1)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 18.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The change is attributable to the net tax benefit related to stock-based compensation and R&D tax credits. These were partially offset by increased unrecognized tax benefits. The overall change in the effective tax rate also reflects the impact of lower pre-tax book income in the current period, which magnifies the relative effect of permanent and discrete item.

Non-GAAP Measures
We utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted gross margin as defined below to enhance understanding of our financial results and related measures. We have adjusted for expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results, including stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets. To improve comparability, prior periods have been conformed to the current period presentation. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating our operating performance in comparison to prior periods. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance, and when planning and forecasting our future periods. A reconciliation of GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measures is presented below.
• EBITDA (most comparable GAAP measure: Net income) - Earnings before interest expense, investment interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.
41
Table of Contents
• Adjusted EBITDA (most comparable GAAP measure: Net income) – Earnings before interest expense; investment interest income; income taxes; depreciation; amortization; noncash stock-based compensation expense; fair value adjustments related to strategic investments, marketable securities, and mark-to-market on our non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities; debt inducement expense associated with the early repurchase of a portion of our 2027 Notes; transaction and integration costs related to strategic investments and acquisitions, including the change in fair value of contingent consideration arrangements; inventory step-up amortization related to acquisitions; costs (or subsequent recoveries of prior costs) related to certain legal or regulatory matters we consider outside of our core operating activities; losses incurred as a result of the disposal, abandonment, and impairment of property, equipment and intangible assets; payroll taxes related to 2024 Employee XSP vesting and 2018 CEO Performance Award option exercises; and other unusual, non-recurring pre-tax items that are not considered representative of our underlying operating performance (listed in the tables below).
• Adjusted gross margin (most comparable GAAP measure: Gross margin) – Gross margin before noncash stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, inventory step-up amortization related to acquisitions, and payroll taxes related to 2024 Employee XSP vesting.
Although these non-GAAP financial measures are not consistent with GAAP, management believes investors will benefit by referring to these non-GAAP financial measures when assessing our operating results, as well as when forecasting and analyzing future periods. However, management recognizes that:
• these non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and should be considered only as a supplement to our GAAP financial measures;
• these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, our GAAP financial measures;
• these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be superior to our GAAP financial measures; and
• these non-GAAP financial measures were not prepared in accordance with GAAP and investors should not assume that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were prepared under a comprehensive set of rules or principles.

In additi on, our Credit Agreement is available for additional working capital needs or investment opportunities.

As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, no amounts were drawn under the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the line of credit, available borrowings are reduced by outstanding letters of credit.

As of September 30, 2025, we have an aggregate of $1.75 billion of Senior Notes outstanding. As of September 30, 2025, none of our subsidiaries guarantee the Senior Notes.

We believe we have access to additional fina ncing. However, there is no assurance that such funding will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. We believe that our sources of funding will be sufficient to satisfy our currently anticipated cash requirements, including capital expenditures, working capital requirements, potential acquisitions or investments, income and payroll tax payments for net-settled stock awards, and other liquidity requirements through at least the next 12 months.
Going forward, we expect to continue to be an opportunistic issuer of debt securities and may issue new debt securities from time to time to fund our growth or refinance future debt maturities, among other things. In addition, from time to time, we may acquire our debt securities through open market purchases, redemptions, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as we may from time to time determine, for cash or other consideration.
