Equity [Abstract] |
Stockholders' Equity | Stockholders’ Equity Common Stock and Preferred Stock We have authorized the issuance of two classes of stock designated as “common stock” and “preferred stock,” each having a par value of $0.00001 per share. We are authorized to issue 200 million shares of common stock and 25 million shares of preferred stock. 2024 Employee XSP and 2024 CEO Performance Award On May 10, 2024, our shareholders approved the 2024 Employee XSP. The 2024 Employee XSP includes an approved pool of approximately 4.5 million shares of common stock reserved for grants of eXponential Stock Units (“XSUs”) to employee s, of which approximately 0.8 million XSUs remain available to grant to employees under this program as of June 30, 2025. A total of approximately 0.1 million X SUs were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The program includes seven substantially equal tranches t hat will vest upon certification by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors upon achievement of three independent vesting conditions: (1) stock price goals; (2) operational goals; and (3) minimum service conditions. Additionally, on May 10, 2024, shareholders approved a grant of 679,102 XSUs to our CEO, Patrick Smith, (the “2024 CEO Performance Award”). The stock price goals and operational goals applicable to the 2024 CEO Performance Award are identical to those under the 2024 Employee XSP, but Mr. Smith is subject to a longer minimum required service period. The three independent vesting conditions are described in the following table:
|  | Operational Goals(1) (in millions) |  | Stock Price Goal |  |  | Minimum Service Requirement |  |

(1) Operational goals are measured, as of any date, for the previous four consecutive fiscal quarters, beginning with the Company's first full fiscal quarter ending after the fiscal quarter in which the grant date occurred. (2) Tranche 1 vested and settled in June 2025. For certain grantees, the shares acquired upon vesting and settlement of Tranche 1 are subject to a holding period requirement under the plan, which will expire on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2030 and (ii) the date on which the subsequent tranche vests and settles. (3) In connection with certain acquisitions which were completed during fiscal year 2024, the adjusted EBITDA goals were adjusted as required by the terms of the 2024 Employee XSP and 2024 CEO Performance Award. As the operational goals for Tranches 1 and 2 were met as of December 31, 2024, no further adjustment to the adjusted EBITDA goals for these tranches was made in the current period, in accordance with the terms of the awards.

Stock Incentive Plan In May 2024, our shareholders approved the Axon Enterprise, Inc.

At-The-Market Equity Offering We participate in an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM”), pursuant to which we are authorized to sell up to a total of approximately 2.0 million shares of our common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we sold 250,000 shares of our common stock under our ATM. We generated approximately $185.8 million in aggregate gross proceeds from sales under the ATM. We recorded aggregate net proceeds of $183.6 million in additional paid-in capital after deducting related expenses, including commissions to the sales agent and issuance costs of $2.2 million. As of June 30, 2025, $0.3 million of these costs were not yet paid. As of June 30, 2025, there were approximate ly 1.7 million shares remaining. We utilized the net proceeds from this offering program to provide capital to satisfy a portion of the tax obligations related to the vesting and settlement of stock compensation awards granted to our employees under our stock plans. Stock Repurchase Plan In February 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $50.0 million of our outstanding common stock subject to stock market conditions and corporate considerations. As of June 30, 2025, $16.3 million remained available under the plan for future purchases.
