The headline driver was a powerful combination of North American Land Mobile Radio shipments and accelerating Software and Services momentum, with the latter segment growing 9% to $982 million as Video Security, LMR services, and Command Center all contributed. Non-GAAP operating margin expanded 160 basis points to 28.3%, reflecting favorable product mix and lower direct material costs, while operating cash flow hit a Q1 record of $510 million. Management kept its full-year guidance intact, targeting approximately 5.5% revenue growth and non-GAAP EPS of $14.64 to $14.74, even as the company acknowledged tariff-related cost pressures it expects to largely offset. For Q2, Motorola guided roughly 4% revenue growth and non-GAAP EPS of $3.32 to $3.37, signaling continued confidence in its public safety technology franchise.
