Axon cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although it believes it has been prudent in Axon's plans and assumptions.

The following important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements: Axon's exposure to cancellations of government contracts due to non-appropriation clauses, exercise of a cancellation clause or non-exercise of contractually optional periods; the ability of law enforcement agencies to obtain funding, including based on tax revenues; Axon's ability to design, introduce and sell new products, services or features; Axon's ability to defend against litigation and protect Axon's intellectual property, and the resulting costs of this activity; Axon's ability to win bids through the open bidding process for governmental agencies; Axon's ability to manage its supply chain and avoid production delays, shortages and impacts to expected gross margins; the impacts of inflation, macroeconomic conditions and global events; the impact of catastrophic events or public health emergencies; the impact of stock-based compensation expense, impairment expense and income tax expense on Axon's financial results; customer purchase behavior, including adoption of Axon's software as a service delivery model; negative media publicity or sentiment regarding Axon's products; the impact of various factors on gross margins; defects in, or misuse of, Axon's products; changes in the costs of product components and labor; loss of customer data, a breach of security or an extended outage, including by Axon's third-party cloud-based storage providers; exposure to international operational risks; delayed cash collections and possible credit losses due to Axon's subscription model; changes in government regulations in the United States and in foreign markets, especially related to the classification of Axon's products by the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; Axon's ability to integrate acquired businesses; the impact of declines in the fair values or impairment of Axon's investments, including Axon's strategic investments; Axon's ability to attract and retain key personnel; litigation or inquiries and related time and costs; Axon's ability to remediate the material weakness in Axon's internal controls; and counter-party risks relating to cash balances held in excess of federally insured limits. Many events beyond Axon's control may determine whether results it anticipates will be achieved. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could differ materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected.
