Financial Statements of MSI

5Y Trend (Revenue, Earnings, FCF)

Metric	Latest	YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength.	QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes.
RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three).	$11.7B	+8.0%	+15.4%
Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day.	$2.2B	+36.6%	+52.2%
Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials.	+50.2%	-1.5%	+12.9%
Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on).	+25.1%	+1.1%	+17.8%
Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales.	+18.4%	+26.5%	+31.8%
Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock.	$2.6B	+20.5%	+6.4%
FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine.	+22.0%	+11.6%	-7.8%
Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe.	405.2%	+5.3%	-4.5%
Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking.	1.04x	-19.1%	+4.1%
Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground.	$19.4B	+32.8%	+0.8%

Unknown Speaker

Operator: Good afternoon, and thank you for holding. Welcome to the Motorola Solutions Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. Today's call is being recorded. If you have any objections, please disconnect at this time. The presentation material and additional financial tables are posted on the Motorola Solutions Investor Relations website. In addition, a webcast replay of this call will be available on our website within 3 hours after the conclusion of this call. The website address is www.motorolasolutions.com/investor. [Operator Instructions] I would now like to introduce Mr. Brian Piotrowski, Vice President of Investor Relations. Mr. Piotrowski, you may begin your conference. Brian Piotrowski: Good afternoon. Welcome to our 2026 second quarter earnings call. With me today are Greg Brown, Chairman and CEO; Jason Winkler, Executive Vice President and CFO; Jack Molloy, Executive Vice President and COO; and Mahesh Saptharishi, Executive Vice President and CTO. Greg and Jason will review our results along with commentary, and Jack and Mahesh will join for Q&A. We have posted an earnings presentation and news release at motorolasolutions.com/investors. These materials include GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations for your reference. During the call, we reference non-GAAP financial results, including those in our outlook, unless otherwise noted. A number of forward-looking statements will be made during this presentation and during the Q&A portion of the call. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Information about factors that could cause such differences can be found in today's earnings news release, in the comments made during this conference call, in the Risk Factors section of our 2025 annual report on Form 10-K or any quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in our other reports and filings with the SEC. We do not undertake any duty to update any forward-looking statements. I'll now turn it over to Greg. Gregory Brown: Thanks, Brian. Good afternoon, and thanks for joining us today. I'll start off by sharing a few thoughts about the business before Jason takes us through our results and outlook. First, Q2 was an exceptional quarter with record sales and earnings. Revenue was up 13%, driven by double-digit growth in both segments and all 3 technologies. Products and Systems Integration delivered an outstanding quarter, growing 15%, highlighted by mission-critical network sales that exceeded our expectations in public safety LMR, along with continued strength in Silvus. And Software and Services also continues to perform well, growing 10% in the quarter. Additionally, Q2 included operating margin expansion of 140 basis points, excluding the benefit of the IEEPA tariff refunds. Second, our Q2 results and broad-based demand provide strong momentum for continued growth heading into the second …

New MSI Research Reveals Headwinds Challenging a Seemingly Stable Construction Market

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MOCA Systems, Inc. (MSI) has released the Q3 2026 edition of Today's Construction Economy, from the company's research group. The report indicates that much of today's construction news cycle, from jobsite robots and reshoring to headlines about data-center "pauses," is obscuring the forces that are actually shaping the market. While those stories dominate industry conversation, the data instead points to three more durable drivers of cost, schedule, and labor availabil.
