Net Income and Tax Impact

AXON ENTERPRISE, INC. · 2026-08-05 · Importance 38 · Surprise 40 · In source text

GAAP net income was $29.4 million, or a 3.3% margin, compared with $36.1 million and a 5.4% margin in Q2 2025. Non-GAAP net income declined to $155.5 million from $178.8 million, while non-GAAP margin fell to 17.2% from 26.7%. The year-over-year decline primarily reflected a large tax benefit recognized in the prior year, although pre-tax income increased year over year. Q2 2026 income-tax expense was $3.3 million compared with a $75.0 million tax benefit a year earlier.
