Current report

As a percentage of net sales, gross margin for the Connected Devices segment decreased to 48.6% from 51.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Adjusted gross margin for the Connected Devices segment, which excludes stock-based compensation expense, acquired intangibles amortization, andpayroll taxes related to 2024 Employee XSP vesting, was 51.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 53.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in both measures was primarily driven by an increased mix from Platform Solutions.

Previous report

Effective in the first quarter of 2025, we realigned our business to better reflect our continued growth and expansion of product, software and service offerings (the “Segment Realignment”). Previously reported within two reportable segments, TASER and Software and Sensors, we prospectively realigned our business in a manner that provides increased transparency and distinction between our hardware and software and services components. As a result of the Segment Realignment and effective as of the three months ended March 31, 2025, our financial results are reported in two reportable segments, Connected Devices and Software & Services. As a result of the Segment Realignment, we have recast our segment disclosures for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to conform to the new presentation.

The increase in both measures was primarily driven by higher software mix.

Previous wording

Stock-based compensation expense increased $48.2 million in comparison to the prior-year comparable period, which was primarily related to the 2024 Employee XSP and the 2024 CEO Performance Award that were approved by shareholders in the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and increased headcount. As of March 31, 2025, we consider some of the tranches probable and will recognize the expense ratably over their respective expected vesting periods.

Previous wording

As a percentage of net sales, gross margin for the Connected Devices segment increased to 50.1% from 43.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Previous wording

The effective tax rate is 18.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 19.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher R&D tax credits and discrete benefit for excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. These were partially offset by higher tax expense related to the executive compensation limitation under IRC Section 162(m), increased unrecognized tax benefits, state income taxes, a partially non-deductible expense related to the induced conversion of our 2027 Notes, and the absence of a prior-year gain related to an investment transaction not recognized for tax. The overall change in the effective tax rate also reflects the impact of a lower pre-tax book income base in the current period, which magnifies the relative effect of permanent and discrete items.

Current wording

Previous wording

Current wording

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $(65.9) million for the first six months of 2025, compared to $66.8 million for thesix months ended June 30, 2024. The $(132.7) million change is due to the following (in thousands):

Previous wording

Net cash provided by operating activities consisted of net income of $88.0 million, a net add-back of non-cash income statement items of $9.0 million and a $71.2 million net change in operating assets and liabilities. Primary drivers of the non-cash items include stock-based compensation expense for employee equity programs, debt inducement expense related to the induced conversion for our 2027 Notes, fair value adjustments for the net realized and unrealized gains on our strategic investments and marketable securities, and deferred income taxes. The realized and unrealized gains on our strategic investments and related warrants were primarily related to an observable price change and subsequent sale of one of our strategic investments. The change in accounts and notes receivable was largely due to increased sales. This was partly offset by the change in deferred revenue due to the timing of billing events. The change in inventory and accounts payable was largely due to advanced raw material purchases for Axon Body 4 and TASER 10 CEDs to support future sales. The change in deferred income taxes was primarily driven by non-taxable unrealized net investment gain and additional GAAP expense for unvested stock-based compensation.

Current wording

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 consisted of net income of $124.1 million, a net add-back of non-cash income statement items of $188.5 million and a $378.5 million net change in operating assets and liabilities. Primary drivers of the non-cash items include stock-based compensation expense for employee equity programs, debt inducement expense related to the induced conversion for our 2027 Notes, fair value adjustments for the net realized and unrealized gains and losses on our strategic investments and marketable securities, and deferred income taxes. The realized and unrealized gains on our strategic investments and related warrants were primarily related to an observable price change and subsequent sale of one of our strategic investments. The change in receivables and contract assets was primarily due to increased sales, as well as the timing of invoicing and cash collections. The change in inventory and accounts payable was primarily due to advanced raw material purchases for Axon Body 4 and TASER 10 CEDs to support future sales. The change in deferred income taxes was primarily driven by a reduction in unrealized investment gains and the realization of previously unrealized investment gains. The change in other, net is primarily driven by supplier prepayments, receivables for income tax and interest in connection with our Senior Notes.

Previous wording

Net cash used in investing activities was $702.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to cash used in investing activities of $174.0 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The net investing cash outflow is driven by $1.1 billion of investment purchases, including $203.4 million related to our strategic investments, and $24.9 million for purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds. Cash outflow was partially offset by $110.9 million of proceeds from calls, maturities and sales of available-for-sale investments and $290.9 million of proceeds from the sale of strategic investments. The net cash outflow is primarily driven by greater available-for-sale and strategic investment activity in the current period, when contrasted with the prior comparable period.

Current wording

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $91.9 million for thesix months ended June 30, 2024. The net investing cash outflow is primarily driven by $1.8 billion of investment purchases, including $1.5 billion for short-term investments and $244.3 million for strategic investments, and $47.8 million for purchases of property and equipment. The cash outflow was partially offset by $416.0 million of proceeds from calls, maturities and sales of available-for-sale investments and $340.7 million of proceeds from the sale of strategic investments. The increase in net cash outflow compared to prior period is primarily driven by greater available-for-sale and strategic investment activity in the current period, partially offset by the decrease in cash paid for business acquisitions.

Previous wording

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to cash used by financing activities of $2.7 million for the comparable period in the prior year. Financing cash inflow was driven by gross proceeds of $1.8 billion from the Senior Notes issuance. Gross proceeds from the issuance were partially offset by $407.5 million of principal payments related to the induced conversion for our 2027 Notes, $24.2 million of transaction costs related to the induced conversion, debt issuance, and revolver modifications, and payments totaling $5.0 million for income and payroll taxes on behalf of employees who net-settled stock awards during the period.

Gross margin dollars increased $97.6 million and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 60.4% from 60.8% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Operating expenses increased by $132.4 million, reflecting increased headcount to support business growth and stock-based compensation expense.
