Okay. Welcome to our second quarter earnings call. Thanks for joining our executives on the call. A quick note about the faces you're going to see on the call today. We want to welcome Erik Lapinski to the team at Axon. He joined us earlier this year, and he's our Director of Investor Relations and Financial Communications, and we're thrilled to have him. Just Angel Ambrosio, I just want to say we want to thank her so much. She's been on these calls for over three years and has really helped to lead the way in making us, you know, Zoom-first on our earnings call. She's also helped us lead the way in ESG reporting. Angel's not going anywhere. We still work together, side by side every day. Okay, on to business. I hope you've all had a chance to read our shareholder letter, which was re-released after the market closed. You can find it at investor.axon.com, and our prepared remarks today are meant to build upon that very robust shareholder letter. During this call, we will discuss our business outlook and make forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements made today are pursuant to, and within the meaning of, the Safe Harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These comments are based on our predictions and expectations as of today and are not guarantees of future performance. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, and we discuss these risks in our SEC filings. Before we turn it over to Rick, we will play our video, which is under four minutes today. Hey, everyone. Welcome back. First, a quick update on TASER 10 and Axon Body 4. Both new products support revenue growth and our moonshot goal to reduce gun deaths between police and the public. TASER 10 has launched very strong out of the gate, and we are thrilled with the market momentum. We are confident that TASER 10 will support the next several years of TASER segment growth. Axon Body 4 began shipping at the end of June. Shout out to everyone at Axon who worked for 3 years to sustain our market leadership in body cameras. Axon Body 4 raises the bar in all areas, introducing two-way voice communications to the camera, enhanced live streaming, and unparalleled flexibility. We introduced the market's first body camera with live streaming in 2019, and our new camera builds on that legacy. Live streaming is now an even more fundamental part of the camera, with two-way voice and the Watch Me feature. Axon Body 4 will support the next several years of software and sensor segment growth. Let's talk about how you can follow the success of our Software as a Service business. About 90% of Axon revenue is tied to some sort of subscription bundle. That means even when we sell hardware, most of our customers are buying it as part of a bundle, which includes software. We offer them predictable hardware upgrades and a promise that they always have access to our latest and greatest technology. Our subscription sales model allows us to provide additional metrics to gauge the health of our SaaS business. Two of those metrics are Annual Recurring Revenue and Net Revenue Retention. Annual Recurring Revenue is exactly what it sounds like: how much of our revenue recurs every year. We annualize our current monthly recurring revenue base to give a forward-looking view into revenue we expect from this base over the next year. Net Revenue Retention measures our ability to grow with our existing customers. We look at our entire cohort of SaaS customers from last year and ask, "What was Axon software revenue from that cohort a year ago? What is the revenue contribution from that cohort today?" Over the course of the year, an Axon software customer will have done 1 of 3 things. 1, they may have churned off, coming in 1 year later at 0% revenue retention. Thus, the metric is inclusive of churn, but we work very hard to keep customers happy and avoid churn. Two, many of our customers come in at 100% revenue retention. These customers have signed 5-10-year subscriptions, and in any given quarter, they are simply paying the same amount as one year ago. Finally, every quarter, some customers upgrade. Upgraded contracts come online at monthly subscription rates that are much higher than our existing installed base, and this drives the healthy Net Revenue Retentions we see today. This is Axon's land-and-expand strategy in action. It doesn't happen automatically. Our investments in research and development mean that our software is constantly improving. Customers join the Axon network and then grow with us over time. They might start out with a basic body camera video storage license, for example, and upgrade after a year or two to take advantage of Axon Respond, Axon Auto-Transcribe, Axon Records, and the many other features that add value to their agency. That's all for this quarter. You can find our shareholder letter at investor.axon.com and hear from our management team on our earnings call. We'll see you next quarter. All right. Great job, Andrea and Angel, welcome everyone to our 2nd quarter 2023 earnings call. It's great to be coming back to you with another excellent quarter and an even brighter outlook. I'm fortunate to spend most of my time talking to customers. Reception to our new products has been fantastic. Recently, I met with police chiefs who said once their officers take TASER 10 out in the field, they will not go out again without it. After trials and successful de-escalations in the field, some have even joked that their officers are saying, "You'd have to pry my TASER 10 from my cold, dead fingers." This is the type of feedback that motivates us and keeps us moving forward. Axon Body 4 began shipping in June, we're also getting a great response. Later, you will hear from Brittany, who we recently promoted-... to Chief Operating Officer, in addition to her role as CFO. Bringing these two roles together under Brittany sets us up for our next phase of operational excellence. As COO and CFO, Brittany will oversee our margin profile from end to end to ensure we execute on our ambition to deliver profitable growth for many years to come. Brittany has been a star addition to our team. She brings operational rigor, foresight, stewardship, and candor. We also promoted Josh Isner, who previously served as our CRO, then COO, and is now President. Josh has been an instrumental leader at Axon for more than a decade, and during his tenure, he and I have worked side by side, evolving and growing the company. I've given Josh many challenges over the years, and he's never failed to exceed my expectations. As President, Josh will continue to oversee day-to-day operations while taking on an expanded role within the executive team and with our board members. Expanding responsibilities for my team allows me to focus on what inspires me, our products and our customers. Product development will always be a key part of my job description. For years, you've heard me talk about my sometimes futuristic views of what the market needs, for years, we have successfully innovated. What's around the corner? I'll touch on two key areas: robotic security and generative AI. In June, we acquired Sky-Hero, which builds upon our strategy for robotic security and is highly synergistic with our product roadmap. Sky-Hero gives us a leading indoor tactical drone solution that complements our existing Axon Air strategy. While the acquisition will not be a meaningful revenue contributor this year, it fits into our long-term vision. We want to make the world a safer place and avoid situations where we have to send people through the door into highly dangerous, even deadly situations. Sky-Hero is already selling to U.S. federal government customers and SWAT teams in the U.S. and all across Europe, who give very strong feedback about the value, durability, usability, and reliability of their technology. Sky-Hero is based in Belgium and unlocks many new customer relationships across Europe. I was especially impressed with CEO Yves and his team, which is small and scrappy, and they really move fast. They're gonna fit in great here at Axon. Finally, here's how we're thinking about generative AI and large language models. Like we've already been doing with traditional AI, we will use these newer technologies to create game-changing products for our law enforcement customers. Several years ago, we published a video on the future of policing. This video features scenes where a police officer was able to feed their body camera video into an AI system, which then created a draft report, auto-populated off the details in the audio-video record. The point is, we were talking about generative AI before it really even existed in a usable form. I'm not sharing this for bragging rights, but what it means for you is that we don't have to pivot our strategy because our strategy has anticipated this future reality for years. We spend a lot of our time, and I spend most of my mental energy studying key technology trends and then mapping those trends against customer needs. We don't wait for the customer to ask for it. We don't even wait for the technology to exist. We map evolving technologies that we believe will mature in the coming years against existing customer pain points, and then we invest early, so our ecosystem will be ready to catch the ball when the underlying technology matures. This is precisely what is happening now with Large Language Models and with broader generative AI. Our mission-driven philosophy to leverage exponential technologies to solve the problems we care about is the core to our value creation engine. An investment in Axon is investing in the future of AI, and it has been for several years. The flywheel for AI technologies, including LLMs, is powered by signals and data. We have invested hundreds of millions of dollars into building out an ecosystem of wearable cameras and sensors and the world's leading cloud platform that securely hosts the enormous data generated by this expansive ecosystem. Everything we have built over the past decade has been in a position us to be able to safely and ethically and securely collect, share, and analyze that data for our customers, paving the way for public safety adoption of ever more advanced AI tools. These tools will build upon and expand the AI applications that are already a critical component of the Axon ecosystem. Just like we evangelized and were the first to bring cloud software at scale to public safety, we think Axon will lead the way in bringing advanced AI, designed with thoughtful ethical controls at scale to public safety. We're already seeing really promising results from our early work here, and we're just getting started. You're up, Josh. Thanks a lot, Rick. It's been an honor and a privilege to have built my career at Axon. I care deeply about our mission, our customers, and our team. I'm proud to help lead an organization that is unapologetic about winning. This team just blocks out the noise and executes. You can see that in our results. As Rick reflected, we are getting great feedback from customers about TASER 10 and Axon Body 4. I am especially pleased that this feedback is translating into orders. We closed the first half with strong orders. We expect a greater increase into the second half as we convert more of our new product pipeline. This drove our confidence in increasing our guidance, which Brittany will take you through in a moment. In Q2, we continued to execute on our 2023 focus areas: revenue, profitability, new market expansion, and new product adoption. We just finished our sixth consecutive quarter with revenue growth above 30%. This kind of growth doesn't just happen. It's a combination of having the right products, the right sales strategy, and the right team to execute on an enormous market opportunity. Our relationships with our customers are truly deep. We don't just look for a transactional share or sale, we partner with our customers and make sure they are successful, and they keep coming back to us, so we can help them solve more problems. Our cloud business grew 62% year-over-year, we are in the early days of expansion into new markets and products. Our software penetration remains low, and we are finding ways to sell more software content into our installed base, executing against a $22 billion software TAM. Our TASER business grew 14% year-over-year, and TASER 7 remains the greatest contributor for now, and we are pleased to see incremental growth driven by early shipments of TASER 10. We are just getting started with that weapon, and it's a game changer, and we think it'll drive TASER growth over the next several years. Profitability is our second operational focus and is critical to ensuring we have a sustainable business model to drive the next decade of our growth strategy. I am pleased with our team's focus and execution in Q2 as we stabilize gross margin through two of our largest product launches in company history while growing our team at the same time. Third, our new market bookings grew ahead of revenue in Q2. We are seeing continued success in the federal market, with first half bookings up nearly triple digits year-over-year. In justice, we have triple digit bookings growth year to date. Four of our 10 largest deals in the quarter came from new and emerging markets, a sign of continued diversification. Finally, new product adoption is critical to our success. We are gaining traction, and we've seen emerging product bookings grow nearly 50% year-over-year. ALPR, Auto Tagging, Axon Records, and Axon Respond are a few key callouts here. We closed an incredible first half to the year, and the outlook for our second half looks very solid. We are on to the next play. With that, we'll turn it over to Brittany to go through the operations and financials in more detail. Brittany? Thank you, Josh. Thank you, Rick, for the kind words. I'm very excited to take on more of the business and to continue driving the next stage of operational excellence at this fantastic company. Turning to the results, we reported another strong quarter, reflecting broad strength across our business. Our top line grew 31% year-over-year, and we saw EBITDA margins of 22%. Second quarter gross margin of 62% improved sequentially, primarily reflecting business mix from software. As you saw in our shareholder letter, we did have some noise in our segment margins this quarter as we worked to more closely align our overhead costs with our specific product lines and had some one-time adjustments. On an aggregated basis, however, most of that is allocations between segments, and our overall gross margins reflect a mixed benefit from software. Axon Cloud and services revenue made up 35% of total revenue this quarter, compared with 29% a year ago. As we noted last quarter, we would expect full year gross margin to remain approximately flat or improve modestly from Q1 2023 levels, due to continued professional services related to Fleet 3 and the continuing ramp of Axon Body 4 and TASER 10. We continue to believe there are opportunities next year and over the long term to improve our margin profile as we invest in automation and recognize scale efficiencies from recent product launches. We also expect to continue to see mixed benefits from our software growth. We believe we will exit this year at a more normalized run rate demand for our fleet product, having largely caught up on our backlog. Turning to our operating expenses, we saw leverage out of both R&D and SG&A. We continue to invest absolute dollars to drive our product roadmap and to scale our business rapidly. We're pleased with the adjusted EBITDA margin of 22% in the quarter, given the second half gross margin profile and timing of some OpEx investments, continue to keep our guidance at 20% for the year. With our increase in revenue, this does result in us dropping more to the bottom line for the year, we're continuing to focus on how we can better leverage our OpEx, especially in SG&A, over the longer term. Turning to our guidance, we are increasing our full year revenue outlook to a range of $1.51 billion-$1.53 billion, representing about 27%-29% growth. We continue to target full year adjusted EBITDA margin of 20%, which implies an increased range of $302 million-$306 million of adjusted EBITDA. In terms of the healthy guidance increase, we always want to make sure we can deliver on what we say we are going to do, that continues to be our focus, while at the same time making sure we're doing our best to accurately reflect what we're seeing in the business. We had two major hardware product launches this year, the successful rollout of these products, as well as the robust customer response to these launches, has given us the confidence to increase our forecast after a strong first half of the year. We do expect most of the increase relative to our prior forecast to occur in the fourth quarter due to typical seasonality. With that, I would like to open it up to questions. Okay, thank you. We'll take our first question from William Power at Baird. Okay, great. Well, I guess, first, congratulations on, on the strong results, congratulations, Josh and Brittany, on, on your promotions. That's great to see. Maybe I guess 2 questions. I guess, first, I'd love to kind of dig into the cloud success. I mean, really strong growth there, over, over 60%. I think in the shareholder letter, you said about 50% of the growth was driven by body cameras. I'd love to just get perspective how you think about the continued opportunity just within that piece of it. The other 2nd part of that question is: What are the other key drivers within cloud right now? It's clear you're having a lot of growth outside of just that body camera piece. Yeah, thanks a lot, Will, and it, it's good to see you, and thanks again for having us at, your conference in, in June. I would, I'd say in terms of just growing cloud adoption, for us, there's really 2 elements of it. Number 1 is making sure that we continue to proliferate kind of hardware in as many different forms as we can, that plug into our cloud ecosystem. You know, the more body cameras we sell into our existing core market, but also into, you know, international, federal, and enterprise, obviously, you know, that'll drive more usage of Evidence.com. Likewise, you know, the more enterprise software licenses we sell for things like records management, computer-aided dispatch, our Justice product, Axon Air licenses, just, you know, the more software-only licenses that we continue to roll up here, that'll, that'll continue to provide favorable results as well in our cloud business. It's really about doing those, both of those things really well at the same time, and the team's done a really nice job of that so far this year. Okay, if I can just fit in, just a second question. You know, raised guidance pretty significantly, you know, for the year. Anything else you can add with respect to the visibility in the second half and particularly the fourth quarter, given the seasonality that I think, you know, Brittany just alluded to, too, just to provide investors confidence in, in that increase? It's a great question. Thank you, Will. I think, you know, part of it goes down to -- comes down to, you know, what we see in our business. I think, you know, we were very careful as we came into the year, not to get ahead of ourselves in terms of what we were expecting for AB4 and TASER 10, given that those were, two big launches for us. But we have seen, as Rick and Josh both commented, just wonderful customer reception to those products. We have good visibility, both in terms of what we can ramp up from a manufacturing standpoint, that gives us confidence in the, the volume of those products that we'll have available. I would say, you, you couple what we have available from an operational standpoint with what we're seeing from the customers, and we think we have pretty good visibility in terms of delivering the second half of the year. I think, as I said, we're, you know, we're partway through Q3 right now, we, we can call out that we think some of that will be in Q4, especially as we ramp into AB4 and see the timing of some of the contracts that we have coming in and some of the deals we have in the pipeline with customers. I think the other thing is just our cloud and services revenue. As you can see, it's, it's done very nicely this year. That is just a very reliable, recurring software business that we can bank on every quarter. We look at that as we go through the second half of the year, combined with the TASER 10 and AB4 products, and that's what gives us confidence in that guidance. Great. Thank you. Okay, thank you. Next question from Tim Long at Barclays. Go ahead, Ken. Thank you. 2, if I could. First, on the gross margin side, Brittany, you talked about a lot of the moving parts here, but maybe if you could just touch on 2 aspects, the, you know, where we are and, and how we're feeling about the ramp of the 2 new products and the impact on gross margin as we go through the year. I noticed, I think Axon Cloud might have been one of those areas where there were some adjustments. It looks like the margin went down there a little bit. Can you just talk about, as that business scales, what we should expect for gross margins? I had a follow-up after that. Yeah, of course. There's a lot of moving pieces in our gross margin, as you can tell from going through our shareholder letter. I think the biggest thing is we have had, you know, some headwinds on gross margin this year, really from three main pieces. One, getting TASER 10 ready to go, ready to ramp, ready to be scaled in production. We expect, you know, we continue to ramp and scale that business as we go through the year, but that's really a next year event when we think that that's fully scaled and ramped up. Factored into our gross margins this year, but should be a gross margin benefit for next year. I think it's similar on the launch of AB4. There's just a period of time while we go through a transition of bringing a new product up and getting it ready to get launched, that, again, you know, weighing a bit on this year, should be nice for us next year. Then probably the last piece that we talked about last quarter, it's continuing to impact the cloud and services gross margin, which you noted for this quarter, is just the professional services on our Fleet installations. Our Fleet has been a phenomenal product for us this year. Some of that was because we were inventory constrained and had some backlog coming into this year, and we've really been working through that. With Fleet, we sell the hardware, we have professional services to install the hardware. That is a bit of a hit to gross margin for us in a one-time way, and then we turn on software associated with the Fleet product. So once we're through the professional services install, we have nice recurring software revenue attached to the Fleet camera. Our volumes of Fleet are so high this year, you can view that as a bit of an investment in gross margin to unlock nice long-term software revenue sort of next year and beyond. Okay. Just a quick one for Josh. You, you mentioned a lot of the, some of the larger deals were in newer areas like federal and, and international. Could you just give us a little flavor of what, you know, examples of what type of deals those are, and how sustainable you think the moves into these new geographies and regions would be? Thanks. Yeah, great question, thank you. First of all, you know, one that we're really excited about is a deal in our justice segment. Here, we're talking about prosecutors buying kind of enterprise licenses for Evidence.com, and tightly integrating with the police departments. That was one of the four. A couple were federal, and certainly we continue to see those become more common, at larger dollar amounts as well, which are both very encouraging signs, speaks to all the great work Richard Coleman and his team are doing in our federal business. Lastly, in international, you know, in our tier one markets, the U.K., Canada, and Australia, we still see very, you know, meaningful orders coming out of those markets, both across TASER and, you know, bodycams and Evidence.com. You know, we continue to start to make more headway in some of these large markets outside of those three. Generally, at those- at this point, those have been more TASER-oriented orders as we continue to evangelize the cloud and work with our early kind of opportunities on getting some of these major customers onto the cloud. That's a little bit of background about, around where some of those are coming from. Hey, Josh. Okay. If I could add in a little bit as well, just very rough, if we look at the long term right now, international is about 1/5 of our business. At scale, I mean, the U.S. could be about 1/5 of our business. The rest of the world is at least five times larger than the U.S. market is. So as we, you know, we're very focused on opening these markets, but police face similar challenges around the world. Now, there's one unique thing about the United States, and that is the gun culture of the public that is quite different from the challenges other countries face. In some ways, that makes TASER 10 even more transformative in every other country around the world, because I think what we've generally seen is U.S. police will carry a gun and a TASER. We've seen that less likely to be something that our international customers would do. If you're a police officer in a country where the public doesn't really have firearms, a TASER 10 could actually become the primary defensive weapon in those markets. Because frankly, if you're, for example, a French police officer and you need a firearm, chances are it's not, you know, petty criminals with a gun. You might be dealing with some sort of terrorist event, where a pistol is probably not the right tool anyway. I believe T10 actually is the biggest game changer in those international markets to give us beachheads where we could really begin to expand the growth. Again, long term, we need to succeed as a truly global company, and when we do that, you know, these international markets should frankly dwarf our U.S. market. Thank you very much. Great. Joshua Reilly at Needham. Go ahead, Josh. All right. Thanks for taking my questions. Great job on the quarter here, team. What are you seeing in terms of customers who are interested in getting new TASERs and bodycams, and they were gonna buy the AB3 maybe, and the TASER 7, but now that you've switched to the new models and these are released, can you give us a sense of the magnitude of customers in this category, and did it have any impact on the Q2 revenue results? Would it have been even higher with some customers switching around? Is that impacting the Q4 commentary around revenue as well? Yeah, Josh, thank you for the, for the great question. A couple ways to think about this. You know, coming out of the first half of the year, as, as everyone remembers, we were a little more conservative on what our guidance would look like for that reason, because there's this period when you launch new products, where you don't know if customers are gonna want to just continue with what they have or trial, the new product before buying it, or just switch right over to the new product. So I think we've kind of cleared out a lot of those uncertainties at this point. I think it's fair to say that a lot of the interest has converted from TASER 7 to TASER 10, and so customers that were on order for TASER 7 kind of pumped the brakes, wanted to trial TASER 10, and now we're moving in that direction. AB4 is a separate, a little bit of a separate motion because, you know, the early volumes of those cameras are driven by hardware upgrades in our Technology Assurance Plan, not as much book and ship, like, right out of the gate. Two, two kind of slightly different stories there. Yeah, as those things become, you know, better in focus, it allows us to get a little more aggressive with our guidance and as the year comes together, and that, combined with a really solid back half pipeline, gives us a lot of confidence, moving into the last two quarters of the year here. Awesome. I'm, I'm gonna throw in a little bit of extra color for you on that. Our TASER 7 was pretty stable in this quarter, so there's certainly a dynamic of customers getting very excited about TASER 10, but we're still seeing very nice support and volume from TASER 7. I would think about a lot of the growth in the TASER segment this quarter coming from TASER 10, starting to ramp up and get into customers. Then I would say similarly on our cameras, you know, we didn't see significant growth in our camera business in Q2, and that really was because as we go do those refreshes, we're going to let customers who want to refresh on AV4, refresh on AV4. We just started shipping Axon Body 4, so again, you'll see, you'll see some of that be stronger in the second half of the year. Got it. Then just to follow up on the Fleet 3, you mentioned you're going to catch up on demand by year end. How much of the catch up is around manufacturing the hardware versus actually getting the product installed at the end vehicle? Where's the greater bottleneck been in the last couple of quarters here? Thank you. Yeah. I would say it's shifting. I would say, the greater bottleneck coming out of 22 was probably on the hardware, on the actual inventory side. Now we've done a nice job catching up on that and really is the, the bottleneck now on a, you know, it's not a, a bottleneck because we're ramping up to get it to customers, but the gating item is really more around the installations. Thanks, guys. Thank you. Mike Ng at Goldman Sachs. Go ahead, Mike. Hey, good afternoon. Thank you very much for the question. I just have 2. Axon Cloud and services revenue was up substantially, you know, outpacing the sensors and other segment revenue growth. I was just wondering if you could just answer a couple of questions to help, you know, reconcile the differences in revenue there. First, you know, you said you're selling more software content into the installed base. Is that, you know, customers just upgrading their plans, but using existing equipment? You know, does that give you higher confidence about an equipment upgrade? Then, you know, are there other pieces of software that you would call out that are doing particularly well? I know, Josh, you, you flagged a few. Thanks. Yeah, ultimately for us, and, and we've talked a little about this in the past, but the big kind of, you know, focus for our sales team is selling our Officer Safety Plan, which have a number of different software feature, you know, features in across DEMS and Records and Standards product, which is kind of a use of force tracking product. There's a lot in those plans, and ultimately, the more, the more of those bundles we sell, you know, the higher our ARPU will be in software. Then when we combine that with kind of picking up momentum both on the records management side and in the justice segment, and then in some of our new markets, those things combine to, you know, to offer a nice uplift over just kind of our base Evidence.com licensing. So it's really a combination of those 2 things. Great. Thank you. I would add, 100% agree. Everything Josh said is spot on. I mean, we are seeing very healthy demand for our premium bundles, and that's driving our strong Net Revenue Retention. It's driving growth in the software business. The domestic e.com, Evidence.com licenses drove the largest sequential increase. I think the other thing I would note for this quarter is we were able to start recognizing revenue for our Axon Standards product now that we have it in general availability. That helped make the step up slightly larger this quarter than it has been in some other quarters. We, we spend a lot of time talking about how big is the size of the step. It was definitely larger this quarter, we continue to look at it more as an, as an average of quarters over time. It was slightly smaller in Q1. You know, it was big in Q4. It's big this quarter. It's been lumpy as we've had some of these, revenue recognition pieces come together. Overall, the domestic Evidence.com business is, is driving the bulk of that and is why you're seeing such nice, healthy growth in that segment. Great. Thanks, Brittany. I, I did want to follow up on that, along with the comment that Josh made earlier about, you know, good momentum in Justice. Is it right to interpret that there are, you know, customers that are buying the software or the Evidence.com licenses that may not necessarily be part of the body camera or the TASER installed base? If that's the case, I was just wondering if you could expand on that a little bit more, and, you know, talk about the opportunity there. Thanks. Let me jump in over Josh. I'm excited on this one. Like, for example, the country of Scotland selected us for their Digital Evidence Management System across police, prosecutors, courts, the whole country, and they are not using our body cameras. We've had some similar, I'm not sure which ones we've specifically disclosed or not, but we've had other international agencies move software first, and that's something that we're really proud of. Obviously, our software teams take great pride in that as well. That 10 years ago, our software was basically an enabler of our hardware, and now they're both strong on their own. And our software products, especially things like Axon Records, can stand on their own. Although some of the generative AI stuff I alluded to in my comments are a true game changer. When an agency is using our body cameras and our cloud software, our ability to unlock all the valuable data that's hidden in those audio-video records for our customers is pretty awesome. We think we're very well positioned. I look forward to coming back with more details. Don't want to get out over my skis, but we have been doing some, we're always inventing and prototyping with our customers, and we're just hearing really positive feedback on, on things that we've not even announced yet. That growth in sort of doing the hardware and the software enables us to do things that you can't do if you're, you know, if, if you can't do both those things together. I, totally agree with Rick, and the only thing I'd add on that is, you know, there are extra licenses every agency buys for non-sworn personnel, and that number will only go up with Axon Records. That's a, that's a big piece of the puzzle here, as, you know, you think about, you know, the police officers on the streets using our body cameras and tasers, but then all of the people in the back office that need access to records and evidence, that's a substantial uplift as well. In addition to some of the new market and kind of DEMS only features that Rick talked about, there's, there's an element of just our domestic customers adding on more and more as our product portfolio grows. Right, and I think, right, you've heard us say so many times before, the power of that entire ecosystem distributed through this hardware plus software, OSP bundle philosophy is, you know, it is our Amazon Prime. It is our flavor of this opportunity that just inherently drives increased adoption. As customers get value out of one basket, it inherently, you know, motivates them to keep going up to higher and higher tiers, and then to use more and more of what feels free to them because it's already in the basket that they have paid for and have access to. To come back -- to connect that to one of the questions about federal and justice before, that's also the leverage of our R&D, you know, philosophy and approach at work, where if you take something like DEMS, that's had, you know, a decade of R&D investment in us to bring it to where it is to be fit for purpose, broadly for domestic and, you know, and international law enforcement, it's a relatively light lift. To tailor that with a surgical part of our team, to make it fit for purpose for the next adjacent market segments, like prosecutors and justice, like things in the federal government, and that instantly or relatively quickly unlocks whole new segments building on the back of R&D we've done before. Once we've done that, and we have momentum with federal customers and Justice, it earns us the right to then start building bespoke products directly for those market segments. That kind of successive laddering up from each angle is fundamental to our flywheel. Great. Thanks, Rick, Josh, Brittany, and Jeff. Really appreciate that. Very interesting. Okay, thanks, Mike. Before we move on, we've used the term DEMS a couple times. That means Digital Evidence Management System, so that's that acronym for everybody. Keith Housum at Northcoast Research. Hey, Keith, you're muted. Thank you. I appreciate it. Rick, with the promotions for, for Josh and Brittany, how is your role evolving at the organization? So it's, it's, it's actually not changing a ton. You know, over the past, you know, 5 to 6 years, I, I've been wanting to put more and more focus on customers and technology, really creating, understanding the pain of our customers, conveying the story that is our existing ecosystem, and then writing the story for the next 10 years. And focusing on that requires, just frankly, a very different mental outlook than running a business day to day. If I went back, you know, 5 or 10 years ago, To be honest, I was getting quite burned out. It's just very difficult to run a large organization and then go, "Oh, in between this endless email inbox and all the to-dos of managing the business, let me now pause and shift to creatively looking at understanding what does the next phase look like?" So I think these promotions just sort of clarify those roles. And this is giving, you know, basically Brittany more control over the operational excellence of our margins and our, you know, everything in the manufacturing supply chain to really make sure we're delivering. It's giving Josh is actually taking a little bit more of some of, for example, my interactions with the board that are more operational. It, in terms of Josh actually tends to lead most of the board meetings in terms of the agendas, et cetera. What that allows me to do is focus less on the what we're doing and much more engaging. During board meetings, for example, I'm very focused on driving discussions at a highly strategic level, and I think we play to each other's strengths. My wife will tell you, I'm working harder than ever, and I'm traveling more than ever out with customers, and large that's because I don't have, you know, a list of to-dos I've got to do around internally in the office, and I know we've got a team, and I've got, you know, I've got a very long relationship with Josh, and with Brittany. Only having been here a little over a year, I think now, you know, we've, we've rapidly developed that same, you know, connective tissue where, we kind of understand each other's strengths, and that allows me to focus on the thing that I'm uniquely able to do as a founder CEO, and that is, as I mentioned in my, in my, script, but I just want to really call attention to it. The reason I think founder-led companies outperform, and the academic data kind of shows that, is when we focus on what like, what is the next big leg that is not obvious and that a traditional large business... Most of our competitors are, are focusing on basically running a, a kind of a profit-driven machine, and each product manager is sort of asking the customers kind of what they want. My job is to predict what the customers aren't asking for yet, and to match that up to various technologies. There's a fair amount of risk that comes with that, but the rewards are significant, and we saw that when we created the TASER market, the bodycam market, the cloud market. No customers were proactively asking for those. I think we're ahead of the ball on AI. You know, when we think about overall how we communicate, when I was a child in the early 1970s, I communicated with a rotary dial phone at my house, and police had push-to-talk walkie-talkies. Today, I don't have a rotary phone. Like, we're doing Zoom with people around the world, and our customers' primary mechanism of communicating is still push-to-talk walkie-talkies. Hmm. Like, I think in the next 10 years, that will no longer be their primary method of communication. Police will be using audio, video sensors and AI to manage the massive amount of data flow, so that we're collecting what is happening in the field, distributing that information to the right people, and then cycling back to that officer in the field in a very focused way, the information they need to know through the media that is most efficient for them to do it, that's least distracting while they're doing this difficult job. It's solving those sort of problems. Frankly, Jeff has done such an amazing job of building an amazing team. When I talk about solving that problem, we've got people like Ron MchHattie, who built Alexa Drop In Calling, that revolutionized personal communications for 100 million people, including me, right? It's probably far more than that now. I could talk to my mom when she was me- had mental dementia and couldn't answer a phone, and my kids could drop in on her from our kitchen. That sort of disruptive communication experience is part of what we're looking at now in the next 10 years. That's where I spend my time, and that's why I'm not answering many questions about margin and budget, because I've got a strong team that I know is all over that, so I can focus on the future. Great. Appreciate it. Thank you. Now, get dive into the more details. I'll go to Brittany and Josh. If you look at the TASER 10, in terms of the adoption rate of that compared with the TASER 7 as, like, the leading device that people use for TASER, do you guys expect any acceleration and movement toward TASER 10 versus like the TASER 7? Then what does that do in terms of the mix and the margins? Maybe I'll, I'll talk about the little bit of the demand, and I'll hand it over to Brittany to talk about the, the mix and margins. In terms of demand, yeah, we, we absolutely see customers. And I, I've said this maybe in the last call and, and to others as well, like, this is the first product where our customers have a genuine interest in upgrading early to it. Usually, because there's a training uplift and there's, you know, challenges around deploying it across thousands and thousands of users, you kind of kick the can down the road to the end of your useful life before you upgrade to the next one, because it's a lot to, to bite off, to deploy a new, a new TASER. In this case, agencies are willing to accelerate that process in favor of getting this weapon on the streets faster. The early feedback continues to be very strong. Customers that. There are even some customers who didn't move to TASER 7 from TASER X2, who are now jumping straight to TASER 10, you know, with the 10 shots and increased distance. You know, very, very bullish on TASER 10 adoption over the next couple of years here. You know, keep in mind, internationally and in some domestic markets as well, there's still a trial period that takes place where agencies want to field it and get enough data, and so doesn't happen all at once. I think, you know, over the next couple of years, our TASER business will continue to grow on the back of more TASER 10 handles in the field. I would just add, Keith, that I think because the demand has been so strong from an operational perspective, we can build in what we know we can manufacture. We really are still ramping that up. So for the rest of this year, we've got a pretty good sense of, of how many handles we can actually make, and, and given the demands out there, that's what we can factor into our model. It is taking us some time to get it fully ramped up and scaled from a manufacturing standpoint. Next year, I think not only will we have more scaled manufacturing, but we will have been able to invest in some of the automation for both the handle and the cartridges to help get the initial cost down and improve that gross margin. Great. Thank you. Okay, we have three analysts that we will get to next. Samik Chatterjee at JP Morgan. Yep. Hi, thanks for taking my questions, and hopefully two quick ones here. The Fleet Systems revenue sequential ramp that you had this quarter, at least looks more modest than what you had going into 1Q. Given some of the guidance around gross margin that you had, I'm just wondering, should we be taking that as an implication that you expect Fleet Systems' revenue acceleration here on a sequential basis to sort of increase? I think on the last earnings call, you had mentioned some, something about supply sort of constraints now getting sort of easier to ship those products. How should we think about underlying demand, if you were sort of looking at a more normalized demand environment without any supply constraints? I have a quick follow-up. Sorry. Sure. I think we're largely getting through our inventory supply constraints, and now we're really looking at what it will take to get Fleet installed. So, you know, as you go through this year, you'll see basically what is normalized, healthy run rate for Fleet from a demand standpoint. Remember, as I said earlier on this call, we have three pieces of Fleet revenue. You have the hardware, which is showing up in the Fleet line item of our, our reporting. So you've got the hardware. You have the professional services, which goes into our services line item, and then you have the software revenue that gets turned on once we have it installed. So, as we, as we come out of this year, you'll see a really nice level of run rate demand. I would expect as we get through this year, we're, we're at a good level of run rate demand for professional services installations as well on that fleet product. Okay. Okay, cool. Josh, did you want to jump in? Yeah, I just wanted to say I wouldn't get too caught up in the kind of sequential trends, because they can vary a little depending on when we ship, you know, especially large orders. So, you know, for us, we're really focused on, you know, that, yeah, as we said, we've grown 30% for 6 straight quarters. That's really, that's really what we try to look at as our yearly, you know, CAGR, and focus on that. There might be a little noise quarter-to-quarter on how that looks, but over the course of the year, it seems to kind of normalize. Okay. On the evidence and cloud services growth, obviously very robust growth that you're experiencing there. Can you talk to what the underlying customer count sort of trends are? I'm trying to sort of parse out how much of this is land and expand with customers that are already using and sort of upselling to them, versus actually going into new customers and them trying out the product. Can you talk about sort of the underlying customer count a bit more? Yeah. I don't know that we're prepared to give any specifics on that today. I would say kind of with a broader brush, we, we try to do 2 things really well at the same time. We try to sell new products to our existing customers, and we try to sell existing products to new customers. If we do both of those well, meaning like in our core U.S. market, it's really about selling all those new products, like VR, some of the software packages and features I mentioned, computer-aided dispatch, et cetera. Then internationally, in corrections, in justice, in our federal business, it's more about selling our kind of core products, TASERs, body cams, DEMS, into those to create kind of that opportunity to land and expand. You know, ultimately we, we look at both of those metrics, new product sales and new market sales every quarter, and, really happy to say that we're trending very nicely on, on each of those, you know, in each of those categories right now. Okay. Thank you. Thanks for the questions. The only thing we do give, and we gave it in our shareholder letter, is that the penetration rate of our Officer Safety Plan is less than 20%. Yeah. relative to our potential state and local law enforcement install base. I think we have both great ability to land as well as expand, to Josh's point. Yep. Thank you. Jonathan Ho, William Blair. Hi, good afternoon, and congrats on the strong results. I did want to maybe get a little bit of additional color on AB4 and, you know, what your customers are most excited about in terms of new use cases around the AB4 capabilities. maybe I'll start, and then I'll hand it over to Jeff and Rick. I think ultimately, you know, there's some incremental improvements in there around battery and optics and so forth, but really launching the 2-way voice as part of AB4. you know, we're most excited that it actually fits a need in the market right now. and that customers have a variety of use cases where the, the value relative to the radio of being able to see something playing out, you know, for the dispatcher or for a mental health expert, or for a translator, watching the screen and being able to communicate through the body camera, with, with, you know, a community member, that is something that, you know, our customers are very excited about, and we're seeing more and more adoption of that feature set early on. I think that's, that's one of the key differentiators. It's also nice to bring back our POV functionality. We haven't really launched anything new there since Flex 2, and now, you know, just a simple attachment to the body camera instead of a whole new product and SKU, makes that a lot, a lot more easily adopted and tailored to certain use cases, and just flexible overall for our customers. That's right. I think just echoing on all of what Josh said, you know, this is a category where the meat and potatoes matters a lot, and there's tons of exciting innovation. You know, everyone always wants more battery life, and we're delivering there. Bringing, turning the POV from a separate product to a no-compromise, simple accessory that's an add-on, we think is a game changer for a lot of agencies. You know, full circle back to Respond and really moving live streaming and this future of modern, you know, multimodal communications from a thing that feels like an add-on to a thing that feels central and native to the product itself. Two very specific aspects that we think resonate, and the customers are telling us loud and clear they love: One is, frankly, the notion of it being hands-free. The fact that not only do you have two-way voice, but I'm there in the middle of a scene having hard things go on, and I can, in a hands-free way, both talk back to who's talking to me while I'm hearing. So that enables just a new kind of freedom and interaction that complements and adds to the other communication options they have available to them today. Number 2, this idea of the Watch Me button. You've heard us say it, but from a psychology standpoint, one of the things that has, you know, been an opportunity for agencies to think about how they'll adopt live streaming is simply who is starting it. Psychologically, for an officer, there's something incredibly compelling about the notion that I'm the one who gets to say, "I'm asking for help. I want someone to watch my back," as opposed to, "I don't know when someone might choose to drop in on me."... They're both critically important, but the psychology of empowering officers to say, "I want someone to watch my back right now," we are hearing loud and clear that they're super excited about. The one last thing I'll, I'll jump in on. You know, when we designed AB3 a number of years ago, we faced a decision: Do we put an LTE chip in every camera, or do we bifurcate the SKUs and have a lower cost Wi-Fi only camera and have a premium? We made the bet that, you know what, a connected camera will be so much more useful that we're gonna put that chip in every camera so that we can turn that capability on for customers. By comparison, some of our competitors, for years, when asked about LTE, they were saying, "Well, our customers aren't asking for it." That is precisely the difference of how we think about these products. We don't think about profit optimization on the current generation. We think about what is the right thing to do that's going to enable us to create massive value over the long term. Sometimes, look, this is where Brittany holds me accountable. She's got to make sure the numbers work, but we have a very productive interplay about this, about how do we make the right level of investment bets, and they are bets, and the answers are not necessarily knowable. I think we're now seeing that coming true, where it's like, wow, these real-time capabilities are very useful. The agencies that have gone to live streaming every call for incidents, they surveyed their officers, and you know what they're telling me? Unanimously, officers and dispatchers are saying they refuse to go back to a world without it. Those are the types of things we hear early in a product cycle that make us dig in hard because we know we've got. This is a game-changing capability. Now, it's just gonna take some time for us to spread the word and get agencies to try it. Things like the Watch Me feature help agencies or unions that have concerns about privacy matters, have a way they can deploy it that's responsive to those concerns. I'm 100% convinced relying as a push-to-talk walkie-talkie for the next 20 years as your only real means of communication is not how the world is going to evolve. Let's be very clear, we are not yet a mission-critical piece of communications. The, the, the current stuff will exist for quite some time alongside what we're doing. We're augmenting with new capabilities and these agencies that are using our live stream, two-way voice, what they're telling you is that's offloading tons of traffic off the radio that not everybody else on the radio needs to hear. They're having more in-depth conversations, more rich conversations, because it's not taking up a radio airtime, and that's actually making their radio use more productive and more focused. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Jeremy Hamblin at Craig-Hallum, you're up. Thanks. Congrats on the strong results. You know, you just had tremendous acceleration in, in the velocity of, of growth in your cloud business, is quite impressive over the last few quarters in particular. If less than 20% of your potential base, state and local, domestic, is, is on OSP bundles today, what would you have said that that percentage was a year ago? Would it have been less than 10? Then just coming back to the, the cloud revenue growth, you know, obviously, I think you talked about it's, it's licensed growth, but, you know, wanted to just get a sense for just the expansion of the premium bundles as well, and how much of that is... Just the value of that business has gone up tremendously in, in just the last three or four quarters. Yeah, I'll jump in. It's, it's been great to see and, and great to watch. You know, we last gave that penetration stat in Q3 of last year, and it was less than 15%. We have seen a nice increase in that over the last 9 months, and I think you're seeing that get reflected in some of the increase in, in our software revenue. I would say that, you know, there's also things where we're adding new products, right? This call out I made on, on Standards, this is a product we've been investing in, we've been testing with customers, you know, we've had out there, and we got it to the point where we could start recognizing revenue on it. Those, those are exciting things that start to feed into our, our software business and our software recognition. I think, you know, if, if you're modeling it for modeling purposes, we would still say, you know, a good six-quarter average, and maybe Q4 and Q2 of this year were particularly high because of one-time revenue in Q4 and, and the standards piece in Q2. I'm not sure it's fair to fully average those in, but I, I think your macro point of we're having great momentum in our software business and our customers are loving it, and, and they're adding more, and, and we're upgrading people to premium bundles, I mean, that is, that is the heart of the story around the, the software cloud business, and we're really excited to get to tell that story and to give those products to our customers. Thanks. Then just a follow-up question is, on the international side, as, as you think about OSP bundles, you know, in terms of adoption rates on that, you know, segment of your business, how, how is that comparing to, kind of the adoption curve that you saw domestically? You know, obviously some different factors in terms of, you know, where TASER penetration was, you know, a decade ago and so forth. I imagine the curve could look a little bit different, but just wanted to get an understanding of what you're seeing. Yeah. Thanks for the question, Jeremy. Hope you're doing well. It's good to see you. I would say that the international market is, is kind of bifurcated between our tier one customers and the rest of world right now. In tier one, I think we are getting closer to OSP-like offerings. That's because generally you're not talking about one federal government buying everything. You're talking about cities like London and Manchester and Calgary, you know, Edmonton and Ottawa, or states in some cases, and provinces in some cases. You know, and same in Australia. Where there's heavy adoption of both, and it's not all federal purchasing, I think we will see OSP adopted, you know, in those markets over time. In the rest of the world, the focus is really just landing in a large way with 1 product and then starting that journey, which is go from 1 product to multiple products, and then when both of those products are more well adopted, that's when we talk about this kind of bundling concept. The fact that you've got these large federal governments doing the buying in a lot of cases, it's both a good thing and a bad thing. It's great that the volumes can be way more exciting up front, but it's also harder to pair 2 products like that together because it's just very different processes relating to the procurement of each. We're working through it, and, and hopefully, you know, over the next year or two, we'll start to see OSP kind of take a foothold in some of those tier one markets. Got it. Thanks for the color and best wishes on your continued success. Thanks for all the great questions. We're gonna have Rick close us out. Hey, before Rick closes us out, just one more thing, if it's all right. Go ahead. Well, as we do the call backs tomorrow, I hope all of our analysts will wish, wish Brittany a happy birthday, and happy birthday to you, Brittany. Aw, thanks, Josh, sneaking that in! I think we should all sing with our investors happy birthday. I think you're just gonna close us out. Thanks, Rick. Okay, yeah, that's right. All right. Hey, it's, it's delightful to be able to share these results. Obviously, a ton of hard work went into this. I pinch myself every day that I get this fantastic job. You know, these things don't happen by themselves. My view of this is this is what happens when you have an amazing mission. You attract just unbelievably talented people, give them the freedom to operate, and bring their own diverse backgrounds and talents into the team, and let them run. We're running hard, and we're gonna keep running hard for you, our investors, and for our customers. You know, knock on wood, we'll be back to keep telling you about, you know, some of the great work our team is doing. You only get to see a handful of us, but behind the scenes, there's a cast of thousands of really talented people working really hard. For those of you on our team that are listening in, thank you for letting us bask in the light of results like these from the work you do. Look forward to seeing you all next quarter.
