Newly disclosed
For example, with our acquisition of Silvus in August 2025 and expanded defense opportunities, we now face increased competition for certain products and services from startups and defense contractors that may have certain competitive advantages.
For example, AI-powered analytics can highlight a person at a facility out of hours (unusual activity), locate a missing child at a theme park (appearance search), automate video verification workflows for building access (site protection), flag a vehicle of interest at a school (license plate recognition), send an alert if doors to a restricted area are propped open at a hospital (access control), trigger a school's customized lockdown plan while simultaneously alerting first responders and sharing the school's video footage (decision management) or redact people and objects in video evidence for investigations (digital evidence management).
Across all three technologies, we offer artificial intelligence ("AI")-powered capabilities and software solutions, services such as cybersecurity subscription services and managed and support services. 4 The principal products within each segment, by technology, are described below: Products and Systems Integration Segment In 2025, the segment’s net sales were $7.3 billion, representing 62% of our consolidated net sales.

This, as well as other standalone federal bills, could restrict the ability of companies to collect, store and sell certain types of data, as well as restrict the ability of law enforcement to collect, use and purchase data from companies (for example, ALPR data).
Business Organization We manage our business through two segments: “Products and Systems Integration” and “Software and Services.” Within these segments, we report net sales across three principal product lines: • MCN: Infrastructure, mobile ad-hoc network ("MANET") technology, devices (two-way radio and broadband, including both for public safety and professional and commercial radio ("PCR")), software and AI-powered capabilities.
MCN includes installation and integration, 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, video monitoring, software and AI-powered analytics that enable visibility of events and focus attention on what's important, to inform faster and more accurate decisions and actions; and • Command Center: Command center solutions, software applications and AI-powered capabilities, that unify voice and data from public safety agencies, enterprises and the community, enabling a broad informational view of operations and incidents while helping to accelerate workflows and improve the accuracy, speed and trust of decisions.
Our portfolio includes software applications and AI-powered capabilities that unify voice and data from public safety agencies, enterprises and the community, enabling a broad informational view of operations and incidents while helping to accelerate workflows and improve the accuracy, speed and trust of decisions.
We use AI in our products and services, and challenges related to the use of AI could subject us to legal liability or additional regulatory oversight, or adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or business reputation.
AI may not always operate as intended and if we use AI that is based on data, algorithms, or other inputs that are flawed or insufficient, or if the AI assists in producing content, analyses or recommendations that are or are alleged to be deficient, inaccurate, violative of third-party intellectual property, or biased, our business, financial condition, or results of operations may be adversely affected.
Although we work to responsibly meet our customers’ needs for products and services that use AI, including through AI governance programs and internal technology oversight committees, we may still suffer reputational damage as a result of any inconsistencies in the application of the technology or ethical concerns, both of which may generate negative publicity. 13 Catastrophic events may interrupt our business, or our customers’ or suppliers’ business, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows or stock price.
Any failure or perceived failure of certain mission-critical products and services we develop for use in areas such as defense, public safety and unmanned systems, could result in litigation by persons alleging harm, such as injuries or loss of life, or economic damage, including property damage.

For example, AI-powered analytics can highlight a person at a facility out of hours (unusual activity), locate a missing child at a theme park (appearance search), flag a vehicle of interest at a school (license plate recognition), send an alert if doors to a restricted area are propped open at a hospital (access control), or trigger a school's customized lockdown plan while simultaneously alerting first responders and sharing video footage from inside the school. 5 Our cloud technologies can offer organizations the ability to access, search and manage their video security, intrusion and access control system from a centralized dashboard, accessible on remote devices such as smartphones and laptops.
For example, President Trump issued an executive order in January 2025 that requires, in relevant part, that every federal contract or grant award include a clause that requires the contractor or grant recipient to (1) agree that its compliance with all applicable federal anti-discrimination laws is material to the government’s payment decisions on such contract or grant for purposes of the False Claims Act, and (2) certify that it does not operate any programs promoting DEI that violate any applicable federal anti-discrimination laws.

As we increasingly leverage AI, including generative AI, in our offerings, we may enable or offer products and services that draw controversy due to their actual or perceived impact on social and ethical issues resulting from the use of new and evolving AI.
AI, including generative AI, may not always operate as intended and datasets may be insufficient or contain biased, harmful or offensive information, which could negatively impact our results of operations, environmental, social and governance (ESG) reputation, business reputation or customers’ acceptance of our AI offerings.
Although we work to responsibly meet our customers’ needs for products and services that use AI, including through AI governance programs and internal technology oversight committees, we may still suffer reputational or competitive damage as a result of any inconsistencies in the application of the technology or ethical concerns, both of which may generate negative publicity. 14 Further, we face significant competition from other companies that are developing their own AI systems.
Any such increase in costs or increased risk of liability as a result of changes in these laws and regulations or in their interpretation could individually, or in the aggregate, make our products and services that use AI technologies, biometrics or other video analytics less attractive to our customers, cause us to change or limit our business practices or affect our financial condition and operating results.
