Axon Enterprise, Inc. reported strong revenue growth of 33.7% to $807.3 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior year period.

The company successfully transitioned from an operating loss in the prior year's quarter to an operating income of $29.2 million. Net income also saw a significant increase, rising to $169.3 million from $88.0 million in the same quarter last year, with diluted EPS growing to $2.05 from $1.08. The company made a substantial strategic acquisition of Carbyne Ltd. for $549.7 million, funded by existing cash and investments, which contributed to a significant decrease in cash and cash equivalents. While gross margins saw a slight compression due to tariffs and a higher mix of Platform Solutions revenue, the overall financial performance demonstrates continued strong execution and market demand for Axon's integrated technology solutions.

AXON ENTERPRISE, INC. Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2025
Axon Enterprise, Inc. reported strong revenue growth in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, with net sales increasing by 33.5% to $2.8 billion. This growth was driven by robust performance in both the Connected Devices segment (up 29.1%) and the Software and Services segment (up 39.6%). Despite the top-line growth, the company experienced a loss from operations of $62.1 million in 2025, a decrease from the $58.5 million income from operations in the prior year. This shift was largely attributed to a significant increase in operating expenses, primarily due to higher headcount to support growth and increased stock-based compensation expenses. Financially, Axon bolstered its liquidity position, ending the year with $1.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents, a substantial increase driven by proceeds from debt and equity offerings. The company also completed several strategic acquisitions, including Prepared and Dedrone, further strengthening its product ecosystem. However, a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to revenue recognition was identified, though remediation efforts are underway. Investors should note the company's ongoing investment in research and development, which represents a significant portion of operating expenses, reflecting a commitment to innovation.

These agreements will facilitate the exchange of approximately $177.9 million in aggregate principal amount of these notes for a combination of cash and newly issued Axon common stock. The exact number of shares to be issued will be determined based on a one-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) on December 10, 2025, with an estimated issuance of 468,000 shares assuming a hypothetical VWAP of $550.95. This transaction is expected to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the convertible notes to approximately $100.1 million upon closing, anticipated around December 16, 2025. The company is utilizing an exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the issuance of these shares, requiring holders to be accredited and qualified institutional buyers. Investors should note that the unwinding of hedging positions by some noteholders could potentially lead to increased volatility in Axon's stock price around the closing date.
AXON ENTERPRISE, INC. Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2025
Axon Enterprise, Inc. (AXON) reported its financial results for the period ending September 30, 2025. The company experienced a significant increase in net sales, up 30.6% year-over-year for the third quarter, reaching $710.6 million. This growth was driven by strong performance in both its Connected Devices segment (up 23.6%) and its Software and Services segment (up 41.1%). However, the company reported a net loss of $2.2 million for the quarter, a reversal from the $67.0 million net income in the prior year period. This shift was influenced by increased operating expenses, particularly in Research & Development and Selling, General & Administrative, and a higher effective tax rate, partly due to the enactment of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' (OBBBA) impacting R&D tax credits. Despite the quarterly net loss, the year-to-date (nine months ended September 30, 2025) performance shows a net income of $121.9 million, albeit lower than the $241.9 million in the same period last year. The company's balance sheet reflects a robust increase in cash and cash equivalents to $1.4 billion from $454.8 million, supported by strong financing activities including the issuance of $1.75 billion in Senior Notes and proceeds from an at-the-market equity offering. Management believes current liquidity sources are sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

AXON ENTERPRISE, INC. Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2025
Axon Enterprise, Inc. reported strong revenue growth for the second quarter of 2025, with net sales increasing by 32.8% year-over-year to $668.5 million. This growth was driven by robust performance in both the Connected Devices segment (up 28.6%) and the Software and Services segment (up 38.8%). Despite the top-line growth, the company reported a net loss from operations of $1.0 million for the quarter, a decrease from an income of $33.8 million in the prior year, primarily due to a significant increase in operating expenses, particularly in selling, general, and administrative costs driven by higher stock-based compensation and increased headcount. Financially, Axon bolstered its liquidity position significantly, with cash and cash equivalents increasing by $160.7 million to $615.5 million, and total available-for-sale investments growing by $1.1 billion to $1.5 billion, largely following the issuance of $1.75 billion in Senior Notes in March 2025. The company also experienced a substantial increase in financing cash flows due to these note issuances and ATM equity offerings. While revenue growth is positive, investors should monitor the increasing operating expenses and the impact of stock-based compensation, alongside the company's substantial debt load.
AXON ENTERPRISE, INC. 8-K Report, Financial Results (Aug 4, 2025)

All director nominees were overwhelmingly elected, reflecting continued confidence in the company's leadership and strategic direction.

Furthermore, the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2025 was ratified with near unanimous support, underscoring shareholder trust in the company's financial oversight.
AXON ENTERPRISE, INC. 8-K Report, Financial Results (May 7, 2025)
Axon Enterprise, Inc. (AXON) has filed an 8-K report on May 7, 2025, primarily addressing a restatement of previously issued financial statements. The company's Audit Committee, in consultation with management, determined that its audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2024, and September 30, 2024, should no longer be relied upon due to an error in the balance sheet presentation of its 0.50% convertible senior notes due 2027. The error involved the misclassification of these notes, amounting to $690.0 million, from current liabilities to long-term liabilities on the balance sheet. This reclassification is due to the notes becoming convertible at the option of holders during the applicable subsequent calendar quarters because the company's stock price met certain thresholds. Importantly, Axon states that this reclassification does not impact total assets, total liabilities, equity, or the statements of operations, cash flows, or equity. The company plans to amend its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, to reflect these restated financials.

Axon Enterprise, Inc. (AXON) reported a strong top-line performance in its first quarter of 2025, with net sales increasing by 31.3% year-over-year to $603.6 million. This growth was driven by robust performance in both the Connected Devices and Software & Services segments. Despite the revenue increase, the company reported a net loss from operations of $8.8 million, a shift from income in the prior year, largely due to significant increases in operating expenses, particularly in selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) and research and development (R&D), driven by higher stock-based compensation and headcount expansion. The company also highlighted substantial gains from strategic investments ($167.3 million) which contributed significantly to its net income of $88.0 million.
AXON ENTERPRISE, INC. Annual Report (Amendment), Year Ended Dec 31, 2024
Axon Enterprise, Inc. reported strong revenue growth of 33.4% to $2.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024. This growth was driven by significant increases in both the TASER segment and the Software and Sensors segment, with notable contributions from TASER device and cartridge sales, as well as Axon Evidence and cloud services. Despite the revenue increase, the company's income from operations decreased to $58.5 million from $156.9 million in the prior year, primarily due to a substantial rise in operating expenses, particularly stock-based compensation and professional/consulting fees related to acquisitions. The company also disclosed two material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting: one related to revenue recognition and another concerning the balance sheet presentation of its convertible senior notes. These weaknesses have led to restatements of prior financial periods. Axon continues to invest heavily in research and development, with R&D expenses increasing by 45.4% year-over-year. The company ended the year with a strong liquidity position, although cash and cash equivalents decreased due to acquisition activities.
AXON ENTERPRISE, INC. 8-K/A Report, Unregistered Securities Sale (Mar 14, 2025)

This $1.75 billion in aggregate principal amount of new debt, issued under separate indentures, is intended for general corporate purposes. Potential uses include repurchasing or redeeming existing convertible notes, funding growth initiatives, and supporting strategic acquisitions or investments in new technologies. Concurrently, Axon amended its existing credit agreement, increasing its revolving credit facility by $100 million to $300 million (with an option for further increase) and extending the maturity date to March 11, 2030. These actions strengthen Axon's financial flexibility and capital structure, providing resources for continued expansion and strategic opportunities.

Axon Enterprise, Inc. (AXON) announced on March 7, 2025, a significant transaction involving its 0.50% convertible senior notes due 2027. The company entered into private agreements with certain noteholders to exchange approximately $407.5 million in aggregate principal amount of these notes. The exchange consideration will comprise cash and shares of Axon's common stock. This move is expected to reduce the outstanding principal of these notes to approximately $282.5 million upon closing, anticipated around March 13, 2025. An estimated 1.0 million shares of common stock are expected to be issued in this exchange, based on the closing price of $499.31 on March 6, 2025, and a volume-weighted average price calculation over a specified period. Investors should note that the noteholders who have hedged their equity exposure may unwind these positions, potentially leading to substantial buying activity in Axon's common stock. This could significantly impact the stock's market price, though the exact magnitude and effect are unpredictable. The shares issued will be unregistered, relying on an exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as holders are expected to be accredited and qualified institutional buyers.

This offering is being conducted as a private placement to qualified institutional buyers and non-U.S. persons, exempt from standard registration requirements. The proceeds from this note offering are expected to be utilized in conjunction with an amendment to the company's existing credit agreement. In parallel with the note offering, Axon plans to amend its credit agreement to enhance its financial flexibility. Key changes include an increase in the revolving credit facility by $100.0 million to $300.0 million, with an option for a further $100.0 million increase. The availability for letters of credit will also rise by $20.0 million to $50.0 million. Additionally, the maturity date of the credit agreement will be extended to five years from the Amendment's closing date, subject to certain conditions related to outstanding convertible notes. These actions suggest proactive capital management and a strategic approach to funding future growth and operational needs.
AXON ENTERPRISE, INC. Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2024
Axon Enterprise, Inc. (AXON) reported a strong year of revenue growth, with net sales reaching $2.1 billion, a 33.4% increase compared to the prior year. This growth was driven by robust demand across both its TASER and Software and Sensors segments, with particular strength in TASER devices (especially the new TASER 10) and Axon Evidence cloud services. The company experienced a significant increase in stock-based compensation expenses, which impacted gross margins, but adjusted gross margins improved due to a higher mix of high-margin cloud services and cost-optimization initiatives. Despite a notable increase in operating expenses, primarily related to salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, Axon reported a substantial net income of $377.0 million, bolstered by gains on strategic investments. The company also announced a planned reorganization of its reporting segments into "Connected Devices" and "Software & Services" to better reflect its evolving business structure. However, the report disclosed a material weakness in internal controls related to revenue recognition, which management is actively addressing. From an investor perspective, the continued strong top-line growth is a positive indicator, showcasing the sustained demand for Axon's integrated public safety solutions. The strategic acquisitions of Fusus and Dedrone in 2024 demonstrate the company's commitment to expanding its ecosystem and technological capabilities. Investors should monitor the progress of the material weakness remediation and the impact of increasing stock-based compensation on profitability. The company's robust cash flow from operations and significant cash and investment balances provide a solid foundation for future growth and strategic investments, while the ongoing expansion into international markets presents further growth opportunities.

This represents significant year-over-year increases of 31.7% and 33.4%, driven by strong performance in both the TASER and Software & Sensors segments. The company saw particular strength in TASER devices and cartridges, alongside continued growth in its cloud-based Axon Evidence and services. Despite the revenue surge, income from operations decreased year-over-year for both periods, primarily due to a substantial increase in operating expenses, notably higher stock-based compensation and R&D investments. Financially, Axon ended the quarter with a strong liquidity position, holding $695.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. The company also reported a significant increase in goodwill and intangible assets, largely due to the acquisition of Fusus, LLC. Additionally, Axon announced a major acquisition of Dedrone Holdings, Inc. in October 2024, signaling continued strategic expansion.

Total net sales increased by 34.6% year-over-year to $504.1 million for the quarter, and by 34.4% to $964.8 million for the six-month period.

The company also saw a significant rise in its recurring revenue from cloud services. Despite robust top-line growth, operating income decreased year-over-year for both the quarter ($32.9 million vs. $40.3 million) and the six-month period ($49.2 million vs. $56.9 million). This was primarily attributed to increased operating expenses, particularly higher stock-based compensation and R&D investments, as well as amortization of acquired intangibles. The company's gross margin percentage also saw a slight decrease, impacted by these factors, although adjusted gross margin (excluding stock-based compensation and amortization) showed improvement, particularly in the Software and Sensors segment.

Axon Enterprise, Inc. (AXON) reported strong top-line growth in its second quarter of 2023, with net sales increasing by 31.2% year-over-year to $374.6 million.

AXON ENTERPRISE, INC. Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2023
Axon Enterprise, Inc. reported strong revenue growth in the first quarter of 2023, with total net sales increasing by 33.8% year-over-year to $343.0 million. This growth was driven by robust performance in both the Software and Sensors segment (+46.9%) and the TASER segment (+17.4%). The Software and Sensors segment, in particular, saw significant boosts from Axon Evidence and Cloud Services, as well as Axon Fleet Systems. Despite the impressive revenue increase, net income decreased to $45.1 million from $54.9 million in the prior year, primarily due to a notable increase in operating expenses, particularly in sales, general, and administrative (SG&A) and research and development (R&D), which rose by 29.3% and 46.5% respectively. This increase in expenses was largely attributed to higher headcount, increased stock-based compensation, and higher salaries and benefits. The company ended the quarter with a healthy cash and cash equivalents balance of $263.4 million, though this was a decrease from the prior quarter. Axon also highlighted its substantial remaining performance obligations of approximately $4.8 billion, providing visibility into future contracted revenues. While the company faces ongoing risks related to supply chain, litigation, and macroeconomic conditions, its strategic investments in cloud-based solutions and continued expansion in the public safety technology market position it for sustained growth.
