The summary below was generated by an AI language model and may contain errors or omissions. All other content on this page is deterministically extracted from the original SEC EDGAR filing.

Motorola Solutions significantly streamlined its risk disclosures by removing five segment-specific and climate-related risks while adding a new macroeconomic environment risk, resulting in a net reduction of four risk factors. The company substantially revised 30 existing risks, including material updates to intellectual property protection disclosures and gross margin considerations, representing the most active area of risk factor modification. These changes reflect a shift from granular operational segment risks toward broader economic and competitive positioning concerns.

The current global trade environment is complex and evolving. In 2025, the U.S. initiated a series of trade actions which imposed new tariffs and increased existing tariffs on goods imported from various countries, contributing to a global trade landscape subject to evolving tariffs, import/export regulations, including restrictions around rare earth minerals, trade barriers and trade disputes. We continue to monitor the impact of the current trade environment, including tariffs implemented under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), for the impacts of policy volatility, pending judicial outcomes, and evolving geopolitical events that may impact our supply chain costs and operational efficiency. In addition, we are observing shifting dynamics in the memory market driven by substantial demand from the AI data center sector. As a result, we continue to observe elevated volatility and uncertainty around the global supply chain. 35 35 35 35 35 35 We engage with global suppliers across a diverse network of locations around the world. We continue to work with our global supply base to mitigate our exposure to the risks to global reciprocal (and sectoral) tariffs, navigate import/export regulations that have developed, and which may continue to develop, and mitigate our exposure to rising costs to facilitate continued supply at levels in order to meet our current customer demand. As a result of the dynamic global supply chain environment, we have experienced increased costs on materials and components, which we have substantially mitigated during 2025 and for which we expect to continue to develop mitigation actions going forward. We continue to see demand for our products and services supported by a multitude of funding sources. In July 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law by the President of the United States, which provided a number of changes including funding over the next four years for border security, national security and other opportunities. We expect OBBBA to provide an additional source of funding to our federal government customers over the four-year period available through OBBBA.
