Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Axon Enterprise, Inc. (“Axon”, the “Company”, “we”, or “us”) is a provider of public safety technology solutions. Our mission is to protect life in service of promoting peace, justice and strong institutions. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Axon Enterprise, Inc. and our subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated. Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information related to our organization, significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) has been condensed or omitted. The accounting policies followed in the preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed on our amended 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented and the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate when read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our amended 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024. Certain amounts in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year (or any other period). The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. We believe the estimates used in the preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of accounts and notes receivable, contract assets and cash. Historically, we have experienced an immaterial level of write-offs related to uncollectible accounts. We hold the majority of our cash and cash equivalents accounts at three depository institutions. As of September 30, 2025, the aggregate balances in such accounts were $1.3 billion. Our balances with these and other institutions regularly exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits for domestic deposits and various deposit insurance programs in countries such as Australia, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and Vietnam. To manage the related credit exposure, management continually monitors the creditworthiness of the financial institutions where we have deposits. Major Customers / Suppliers For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, no customer represented more than 10% of total net sales. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no customer represented more th an 10% o f the aggregate balance of accounts and notes receivable and contract assets. For additional details, refer to Note 2. We currently purchase both off-the-shelf and custom components, including finished circuit boards, injection-molded plastic components, small machined parts, custom cartridge components, electronic components and sub-assemblies from suppliers located in the United States, Taiwan, Mexico, China, Germany and the Republic of Korea, among others. Although we currently obtain components from single source suppliers, we own substantially all injection-molded component tooling, designs and test fixtures used in production for all custom components. As a result, we believe we could obtain alternative suppliers in most cases. We acquire most of our components on a purchase order basis and do not currently have significant long-term purchase contracts with most component suppliers. Segment Information As previously disclosed within our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025, we realigned our business into two reportable segments, Connected Devices and Software and Services (the “Segment Realignment”). As a result of the Segment Realignment, we have recast our segment and other relevant disclosures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 to conform to the new presentation. Reportable segments are determined based on discrete financial information provided to our Chief Executive Officer who is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). In deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance, the CODM reviews adjusted gross margin by segment to evaluate segment profitability, identify cost trends and make operational decisions to support our segments. Accordingly, t he segment measure of profit and loss used by the CODM is adjusted gross margin, defined as gross margin before stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, inventory step-up amortization related to acquisitions, and payroll taxes related to the Axon Enterprise, Inc. 2024 Employee eXponential Stock Plan vesting (the “2024 Employee XSP”). For additional details, refer to Note 16. In addition, the CODM reviews consolidated financials and revenue by major geography and product and service lines. Consolidated financials provide a holistic view of our overall financial health to guide capital allocation and entity-wide decisions. Disaggregated views of revenue by major geography and product line support the evaluation of specific market and product performance to understand customer trends. There are no operating segments that are aggregated, and there are no inter-segment sales. Assets and other expense items, such as research and development and selling, general, and administrative expenses, are not provided to the CODM by segment, as our CODM does not evaluate our operating segments using this discrete information. As such, these items are not relevant to adjusted gross margin leveraged by the CODM to assess segment performance. As a result, they are not disclosed by segment. We perform an analysis of our reportable segments at least annually. Geographic Information Most of our sales to international customers are transacted in foreign currencies and are attributed to each country based on the shipping address of the distributor or customer. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, no individual country outside the United States represented more than 10% of total net sales. Substantially all of our assets are located in the United States. For additional details, refer to Note 2. Most of our long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and right-of-use lease assets are located within the United States. International long-lived assets are immaterial. Additionally, the majority of our revenues are generated within the United States. Restricted Cash Restricted cash balances were $12.3 million and $11.9 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. This balance is primarily attributable to a $9.7 million payment held in escrow related to the potential construction of our headquarters building in Scottsdale, Arizona. Restricted cash also includes funds held in international bank accounts for various operating and financing activities. As of September 30, 2025, approximately $12.2 million was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder in other long-term assets. Warranty Reserves We warranty our conducted energy devices (“CEDs”), Axon cameras and other hardware on a limited basis for a period of primarily one year after purchase. Changes in our estimated product warranty liabilities were as follows (in thousands):
| Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2025 |  | 2024
Balance, beginning of period | $ | 8,284 |  |  | $ | 7,374 |
Utilization of reserve | (6,757) |  |  | (5,007) |
Warranty expense | 9,378 |  |  | 4,860 |
Balance, end of period | $ | 10,905 |  |  | $ | 7,227 |
Income (Loss) per Common Share Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution from outstanding stock-based awards, our 2027 Notes, and warrants to acquire shares of our common stock (the “Warrants” or “2027 Warrants”). The effects of outstanding stock-based awards, our 2027 Notes, and our 2027 Warrants are excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive. For additional information regarding our 2027 Notes and 2027 Warrants, refer to Note 10. The calculation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding and earnings per share is as follows (in thousands except per share data):
| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | 2024
Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net income (loss) | $ | (2,186) |  |  | $ | 67,025 |  |  | $ | 121,911 |  |  | $ | 241,850 |

(1)For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the impact of the early repurchase of a portion of the 2027 Notes is weighted based upon the number of days in each corresponding period of time for (a) the period between January 1, 2025 and the closing date of the repurchase, which includes the total amount of shares issuable upon a conversion of all of the 2027 Notes; and (b) subsequent to the closing date of the repurchase through September 30, 2025, which includes the amount of shares issuable upon a conversion of the 2027 Notes that remain outstanding after the early repurchase. Refer to Note 10 for additional details. Potentially dilutive securi ties that are not included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share because doing so would be antidilutive are as follows (i n thousands):
| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | 2024
Stock-based awards | 5,138 |  |  | 4,574 |  |  | 3,299 |  |  | 4,620 |
2027 Notes | 1,235 |  |  | 2,002 |  |  | 401 |  |  | 2,244 |
2027 Warrants | 3,017 |  |  | 2,966 |  |  | 1,511 |  |  | 3,017 |
Total potentially dilutive securities | 9,390 |  |  | 9,542 |  |  | 5,211 |  |  | 9,881 |
Accounting Guidance and Disclosure Rules - Recently Adopted In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2024-04, Debt (Topic 470): Debt with Conversion and Other Options. ASU 2024-04 clarifies the assessment of whether certain transactions should be accounted for as an induced conversion or debt extinguishment. The provisions of ASU 2024-04 are effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2026, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2024-04 in the first quarter of 2025 and applied the standard when assessing the accounting treatment for our convertible debt repurchase. For additional details, refer to Note 10. Accounting Guidance and Disclosure Rules - Not Yet Adopted In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and additional disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation, and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. We plan to adopt ASU 2023-09 on a prospective basis for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. ASU 2024-03 is intended to enhance the level of detail disclosed related to expense categories and provide additional disclosure of expenses by nature. The provisions of ASU 2024-03 are effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. ASU 2025‑05 is intended to provide a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current trade receivables and current contract asse ts. T he provisions of ASU 2025‑05 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑06 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal‑Use Software (Sub-topic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal‑Use Software. ASU 2025‑06 is intended to modernize the internal‑use software model primarily by removing software development stages and introducing a “probable-to-complete recognition threshold”. The provisions of ASU 2025‑06 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Entities may apply the guidance prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified prospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements.
