Good afternoon and thanks for joining us today.
下午好,感謝您今天加入我們。
I'm going to start off by sharing a few thoughts about the overall business, before Jason takes us through results and our outlook.
在 Jason 向我們介紹業績和展望之前,我將先分享一些關於整體業務的想法。
First, Q4 was another exceptional quarter.
首先,第四季又是一個特別的季度。
We achieved record revenue in both segments and all three technologies, including double-digit growth in Video and Command Center, highlighting the depth and breadth of our safety and security ecosystem that helps us protect people, property, and places.
我們在兩個部門和所有三種技術上都實現了創紀錄的收入,其中視頻和指揮中心實現了兩位數的增長,突顯了我們的安全和安保生態系統的深度和廣度,幫助我們保護人員、財產和場所。
Additionally, we generated Q4 record operating earnings in both segments and ended the year with record backlog of $14.7 billion, up $438 million, inclusive of $226 million of unfavorable currency rates.
此外,我們在兩個部門的第四季度都創造了創紀錄的營業利潤,並以創紀錄的 147 億美元積壓訂單結束了這一財年,增長了 4.38 億美元,其中包括 2.26 億美元的不利匯率影響。
Second, our full-year results were outstanding.
第二,我們全年業績十分出色。
In Products & SI, revenue was up 10%, driven by growth in both LMR and Video.
在產品和 SI 方面,收入增長了 10%,這得益於 LMR 和視頻的增長。
We also expanded operating margins in the segment by 380 basis points, driven, in part, by continued favorable mix to our feature-rich devices and lower material costs.
我們還將該部門的營業利潤率擴大了 380 個基點,部分原因是我們功能豐富的設備繼續保持良好的產品組合,以及材料成本的降低。
In Software & Services, revenue was up 5% -- or 13%, excluding UK Home Office -- driven by strong growth and Video and Command Center and our LMR services businesses outside of the US.
軟體和服務部門的收入成長了 5%(不包括英國總部則成長了 13%),這得益於強勁的成長以及視訊和指揮中心以及我們在美國以外的 LMR 服務業務。
We also grew earnings per share, 16%; operating cash flow by 17%; and strengthened our safety and security offerings with four acquisitions in our Video and Command Center technologies.
我們的每股盈餘也成長了16%;經營現金流增加17%;並透過對視訊和指揮中心技術的四次收購增強了我們的安全和安保服務。
Subsequent to quarter end, we announced that we've entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Theatro, a maker of AI and voice-powered communication and digital workflow software for frontline workers.
季度末之後,我們宣布已達成最終協議,收購 Theatro,這是一家為第一線工人生產人工智慧和語音通訊及數位工作流程軟體的製造商。
And, finally, as we enter 2025, the continued robust demand for our solutions, coupled with our record backlog and healthy balance sheet, positions us well for another year of strong revenue, earnings per share, and cash flow growth.
最後,隨著我們進入 2025 年,對我們解決方案的持續強勁需求,加上我們創紀錄的積壓訂單和健康的資產負債表,將使我們在未來一年實現強勁的收入、每股收益和現金流增長。
With that, I'll now turn the call over to Jason.
說完這些,我現在將電話轉給傑森。

在將其交給格雷格之前,我想分享一些其他的事情。
First, with the UK Home Office headwinds behind us, on a full-year basis, and the strong momentum we are seeing in cloud adoption and SaaS, we expect our S&S segment growth to be high-single digits or double digits, where, normalized for FX.
首先,從全年來看,英國內政部面臨的逆風已經過去,而雲端運算和 SaaS 領域呈現強勁發展勢頭,我們預計 S&S 部門的成長率將達到高個位數或兩位數(已根據外匯標準化)。
And on the Product segment, we are expecting low- to mid-single-digit growth coming off a record 2024.
在產品領域,我們預計到 2024 年將實現創紀錄的低至中等個位數成長。

最後,我想強調我們資產負債表的實力,其中包括年末超過 20 億美元的現金、固定利率債務到期情況(直到 2028 年都沒有重大到期日)以及穩健的投資級信用評級。

And let me just end with some final thoughts.
最後,請容許我發表一些最後的想法。
First, 2024 was another exceptional year for the company.
首先,2024年對公司來說又是個特別的一年。
We achieved record sales in both segments in all three technologies; significantly expanded operating margins; grew EPS by 16%; generated record operating cash flow of $2.4 billion, up 17% from the prior year; and we also returned almost $1.5 billion to our shareholders through dividends, share repurchases; and the settlement of the Silver Lake convertible note, at less than $320 a share; and we added four acquisitions within our Video and Command Center technologies.
我們在三種技術的兩個領域都實現了創紀錄的銷售額;大幅提高營業利潤率;每股收益成長16%;產生了創紀錄的 24 億美元營運現金流,較上年增長 17%;我們也透過股利、股票回購等方式向股東返還了近 15 億美元;以及以低於每股 320 美元的價格結算銀湖可轉換票據;我們在視訊和指揮中心技術領域又進行了四次收購。
Second, the investments we're making in Software & Services continue to drive strong recurring revenue growth for the company.
其次,我們在軟體和服務方面的投資持續推動公司強勁的經常性收入成長。
Software & Services' revenue was up 13% during the year, excluding UK Home Office, driven, in part, by accelerating demand for our software solutions in Command Center, Video, and our suite of applications running on our APX NEXT family of devices.
不包括英國內政部,軟體和服務的收入在年內增長了 13%,部分原因是對我們的指揮中心、視訊和運行在我們 APX NEXT 系列設備上運行的應用程式套件的軟體解決方案的需求不斷增長。
We also finished the year with S&S backlog of $10.6 billion, up 14%, including record backlog in all three technologies, which is informing our guide for another strong year of growth in 2025.
今年,我們的 S&S 積壓訂單量達到 106 億美元,成長 14%,其中包括三種技術的創紀錄積壓訂單量,這為我們預測 2025 年將是另一個強勁增長的年份提供了依據。
And, finally, as we enter this year, we're very well positioned for another outstanding year.
最後,在進入今年之際,我們已經準備好迎接另一個輝煌的一年。
Our customers are continuing to invest in LMR for the long term, highlighted by the numerous large multi-year contracts that we received over the last year.
我們的客戶正在繼續對 LMR 進行長期投資,去年我們簽訂的眾多大型多年期合約就是明證。
We're also seeing strong interest in our latest generation [B-series] ASTRO infrastructure, which is creating a healthy pipeline of upgrade opportunities and is a further testament to the foundational longevity of this technology.
我們也看到人們對我們最新一代 [B 系列] ASTRO 基礎設施的濃厚興趣,它正在創造健康的升級機會管道,進一步證明了這項技術的基礎壽命。
And, additionally, the upgrade cycle to our APX NEXT family of devices continues to drive product and recurring revenue growth via the applications that are on each device.
此外,我們 APX NEXT 系列裝置的升級週期將繼續透過每台裝置上的應用程式推動產品和經常性收入的成長。
And in Video and Command Center, we continue to see robust demand and are expecting another year of double-digit growth in both of those technologies as well.
在視訊和指揮中心,我們繼續看到強勁的需求,並預計這兩種技術明年都將實現兩位數的成長。
Finally, our healthy cash generation and strong balance sheet with a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 1.1 -- probably the lowest we've seen in almost a decade -- provides us with significant flexibility to deploy capital opportunistically and drive value for our shareholders in our total addressable market, which is, now, approximately 72 billion.
最後,我們健康的現金產生能力和強勁的資產負債表,淨債務與 EBITDA 比率為 1.1——可能是近十年來最低的——為我們提供了極大的靈活性,可以適時部署資本,並為我們的股東在我們總目標市場(目前約為 720 億美元)中創造價值。

I just wanted to quickly touch base on -- with all the recent Trump administration federal spending shifts and DOGE, are you, guys, seeing any impact, in terms of customer behavior or timing of deployment?
我只是想快速地了解一下——最近川普政府的聯邦支出變化和 DOGE,你們是否看到客戶行為或部署時間方面的任何影響?
And I have one follow-up to that.

Greg Brown - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer
Greg Brown - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer
No, we're not.
不,我們不是。
I think that -- my view and our view of DOGE -- we like the opportunity where the government is deploying that organization to get after frivolous and wasteful spending, which, I think, is a good thing, overall.
我認為——我的觀點以及我們對 DOGE 的看法——我們喜歡政府部署該組織來追查輕率和浪費支出的機會,我認為總體而言這是一件好事。
But, in direct answer to your question, we're not seeing any changes in customer behavior as a result of that effort, at this point in time.
但是,直接回答您的問題,目前我們還沒有看到客戶行為因為這項努力而發生任何變化。

And then, just want to follow up on the Video piece.
然後,只想跟進影片片段。
Given the 10% to 12% is inclusive of customers' move to the cloud, how should we think about if there wasn't a move to the cloud, would the growth be a point or two higher?
鑑於 10% 到 12% 是包括客戶轉向雲端的,我們應該如何思考,如果沒有轉向雲端,成長率是否會高出一兩個百分點?
If we didn't count those headwinds of customers moved to the cloud?
如果我們不計算客戶遷移到雲端所帶來的不利影響呢?
How should we think about the growth rate for Video, with the move to cloud?
隨著向雲端的遷移,我們該如何看待影片的成長率?
Greg Brown - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer
Greg Brown - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer
We love the fact that customers are moving to the cloud.
我們很高興看到客戶轉向雲端。
We offer solutions for both Prem and cloud.
我們為 Prem 和雲端提供解決方案。
We talked about it, last year, that there was a pretty good acceleration to the cloud.
去年我們就討論過這個問題,雲端運算的發展有一個相當好的加速。
We are seeing a continuation of that, which is a good thing.
我們看到這種情況正在持續,這是一件好事。
And we love the fact that we're still able to grow double digits, 10% to 12%, even with the cloud adoption.
我們很高興看到,即使採用了雲端運算,我們仍然能夠實現兩位數的成長,即 10% 到 12%。
Which, of course, smooths out revenue
這當然會平滑收入

And with the further integration of Video and Command Center and the likes, we view that the cloud adoption of our customers to be a strength indicator across, really, the entire platform.
隨著視訊和指揮中心等的進一步整合,我們認為客戶對雲端的採用實際上成為整個平台的實力指標。

Greg Brown - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer
By the way, just as it relates to Ukraine, really, no revenue expectation for this year.
順便說一句,就像與烏克蘭有關一樣,今年確實沒有收入預期。
We had about $80 million last year so we don't have expectations for, really, any Ukrainian revenue, at this point, in 2025.

And, [Mary], most of our engagement with the federal government is DOJ, DHS, and DOD.
而且,[瑪麗],我們與聯邦政府的大部分合作是與司法部、國土安全部和國防部合作。
And, I would say, DOD -- it's base security (inaudible) enterprise security at base security operations.
我想說,國防部 — — 它是基地安全(聽不清楚)基地安全行動的企業安全。
Multi-year pipeline, we've got P25, both systems and device opportunities.
多年的管道,我們有 P25,包括系統和設備機會。
I think it's important to highlight that, yesterday, we were given go-ahead and FedRAMP high classification, which enables us to sell APX NEXT -- our application services on APX NEXT.
我認為值得強調的是,昨天,我們獲得了批准和 FedRAMP 高級分類,這使我們能夠在 APX NEXT 上銷售我們的應用服務。
We're excited about that because, actually, that'll open up incremental opportunities to sell high-tier devices into said agencies.
我們對此感到興奮,因為實際上,這將為向上述機構銷售高端設備帶來增量機會。
And then the last thing I'd highlight is Video engagement.
我最後要強調的是影片參與。
Government has outpaced video security growth for the company and federal government has certainly been an area of brightness for us.
政府的視訊安全成長速度超過了公司,而聯邦政府無疑是我們重點關注的領域。
And I think the engagement with our customers, with the new administration, continues to look very positive.
我認為我們與客戶以及新政府之間的合作仍然保持著非常積極的勢頭。
And if you think about Video, all-in for us, it was a little over $550 million last year in the government vertical.
如果你考慮視頻,那麼對於我們來說,去年在政府垂直領域的總收入略高於 5.5 億美元。
The government vertical remains our largest for Video.
政府垂直市場仍然是我們最大的視訊市場。
And we expect in 2025, all-in video growth to grow faster than the 10% to 12%, for the technology as a whole.
我們預計,到 2025 年,整個視訊技術的成長速度將超過 10% 至 12%。

Maybe just wanted to follow up on that last one and just -- maybe it's more of a clarification.
也許只是想跟進最後一個問題 — — 也許這更像是一個澄清。
But, Greg, we saw some interviews, towards the end of the year, where, essentially, post the election, you're sounding a little bit more positive about the operating environment, highlighting some of the topics and focus around police and border patrol, obviously.
但是,格雷格,我們看到了年底的一些採訪,基本上,在選舉之後,你對營運環境的看法聽起來更加積極一些,顯然強調了一些主題並關注警察和邊境巡邏。
And, obviously, we see the rhetoric out there.
顯然,我們看到了外界的言論。
But just curious, could you just dimensionalize like how tangible this is, today, in terms of, potentially, upside to spending across some of those areas of focus?
但只是好奇,您能否具體說明一下,就目前而言,這對某些重點領域的支出可能有多大好處?
And if you're actually seeing it in orders or, at least, is there any early discussions with customers that is tied into that upside, around that?

And then, I have a quick follow-up for Jason.
然後,我會快速跟進一下傑森的情況。
Greg Brown - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer
Greg Brown - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer
Sure, Jo.
當然,喬。
So let's start with -- since we last talked in November and I gave high level color, of 5% to 6%, all-in for the firm.
那麼讓我們開始吧——自從我們去年 11 月上次談話以來,我為公司提供了 5% 到 6% 的高額注資。
We got it, obviously, at 5.5%.
顯然,我們的得分是 5.5%。
But when you incorporate the expectations for $120 million of FX, it's actually a stronger view, today, in February than I had in 2025 that I had in in November.
但是,當你考慮到 1.2 億美元外匯的預期時,今天(2 月)的觀點實際上比我在 2025 年 11 月的觀點更為強烈。
So I think, also, the positive feeling about the year is informed, not just by the record backlog but by the pipeline.
因此,我認為,人們對今年的積極情緒不僅來自於創紀錄的訂單積壓,還來自管道。
The pipeline continues to grow.
管道還在持續增長。
So with the pipeline growing and the setup for this year, I feel pretty good about where we are.
因此,隨著今年的管道不斷增長和設置,我對我們所處的狀況感到相當滿意。
I think that, in addition to growing the top line 5.5%, absorbing expectations for FX, we expect gross margins to be comparable to slightly up.
我認為,除了營收成長 5.5%、吸收外匯預期之外,我們預期毛利率也將保持相當或略有上升。
We still expect operating margin expansion -- that's inclusive of about $25 million of headwind associated with higher interest and a little bit of a higher tax rate.
我們仍然預計營業利潤率將擴大——其中包括因利息上升和稅率略有上升而產生的約 2500 萬美元的不利因素。
So, all-in, Jo, I like the setup.
所以,總而言之,喬,我喜歡這個設定。
I think the Trump administration's continued orientation around public safety, around border security, and the work they've done, tactically, since then -- since election -- and to now is generally favorable.
我認為川普政府自大選以來一直致力於公共安全和邊境安全,並且到目前為止,在戰術上所做的工作總體上是有利的。
And they're looking - I got an earlier question about DOGE -- about efficiencies and work flow.
他們正在研究——我之前曾問過一個關於 DOGE 的問題——關於效率和工作流程。
And a lot of what we do in public safety and security speaks to workflow efficiencies and doing more with less.
我們在公共安全和安保領域所做的許多工作都與工作流程效率以及如何用更少的資源做更多的事情有關。
So I feel good about where we are.
所以我對我們的現狀感到很滿意。
And we'll operate accordingly with this administration.

And then, the second part of that is any way you can help us think about if you're more biased to any of the particular regions that are under the scope, here?

Clearly, supply chain is an ever-changing environment -- having tackled semiconductor challenges over the last two years, now, it's tariffs.
顯然,供應鏈是一個不斷變化的環境——過去兩年我們已經解決了半導體的挑戰,現在又面臨關稅問題。

Outside the USA, we're in Mexico, Malaysia, and then, Canada, in that order.
除美國外,我們還在墨西哥、馬來西亞、加拿大(以這個順序)。
China is not a risk for us.
中國對我們來說不構成風險。
The 301 Tariffs, we've navigated with minimal impact because we don't have operations or manufacturing there.
301關稅對我們影響很小,因為我們在那裡沒有業務或製造業務。
So, as we look forward, the guide we gave is reflective of the tariff rates that we're paying, today.
因此,展望未來,我們給出的指南反映了我們今天支付的關稅稅率。
We'll continue to monitor and navigate, with flexibility, in the footprint we have and ROI-based decisions, with facts on the ground, as they present themselves.
我們將繼續靈活地監控和導航,在現有的足跡和基於投資回報率的決策範圍內,根據實際情況進行調整。

Baked into the forward-looking guidance for this year, we're expecting a PPV benefit of about $25 million.

If I, maybe, take a step back there, Louis -- today, like -- you take a generative AI model, a large language model of some sort, you can get it to summarize, you can chat with it, et cetera.
如果我,也許,退一步來說,路易斯——今天,就像——你採取一個生成式人工智慧模型,某種大型語言模型,你可以讓它進行總結,你可以與它聊天,等等。
It's pretty easy to implement those capabilities.
實現這些功能非常容易。
But taking it to the mission critical problems that is quite different -- and it's much harder, specifically because you are not catering to the typical circumstances, you're actually catering to the somewhat typical and atypical circumstances.
但將其應用於關鍵任務問題則截然不同——而且要困難得多,具體來說,因為你不是在迎合典型情況,而是在迎合某種典型和非典型情況。
And, oftentimes, those atypical circumstances are actually the life critical problems that we deal with.
而且很多時候,這些非典型情況其實是我們要處理的關鍵生活問題。
When it comes to AI, for us, we actually already played not just in the cloud, but also at the edge.
對我們來說,就人工智慧而言,我們實際上不僅在雲端發揮作用,而且在邊緣也發揮作用。
The majority of our Video platforms today, over 90% of our cameras, actually have edge intelligence built into them.
目前,我們大多數的視訊平台(超過 90% 的攝影機)實際上都內建了邊緣智慧。
Most of them run vision transformers and other AI technologies, both to -- mainly for computer vision type of applications.
它們中的大多數都運行視覺轉換器和其他人工智慧技術,主要用於電腦視覺類型的應用。
So as we think about what we do on the radio side, we introduced ViQi quite a few years ago, along with APX NEXT.
因此,當我們思考我們在無線電方面所做的事情時,我們在幾年前就推出了 ViQi 以及 APX NEXT。
And we feel like that, combined with generative AI capabilities, gets us more capabilities.
我們覺得,這與生成式人工智慧能力結合,可以為我們帶來更多能力。
We are thinking about that and we are planning for it.

But looking at the P&L, looks like the product portion of your video security business actually picked up this quarter.
但從損益表來看,似乎你們的視訊安全業務的產品部分本季實際上有所回升。
I just wanted to see what the trends were, there, specifically around video security products?
我只是想看看那裡的趨勢是什麼,特別是視訊安全產品的趨勢是什麼?

So you're picking up on it, right?
那麼,你意識到了這一點,對嗎?
It did grow in Q4.
它在第四季度確實增長了。
And, as we mentioned last quarter, the solution in Video is not only products but also software.
而且,正如我們上個季度提到的,視訊解決方案不僅是產品,還有軟體。
And the software rate of growth, within Video, has, for the entirety of '24, grew faster than that of products.
在整個 24 年裡,視訊軟體的成長速度一直快於產品的成長速度。
So the product growth, we're pleased with, in Q4, represents a bit more cameras and contribution towards products.
因此,我們對第四季度的產品成長感到滿意,這意味著相機數量增加,產品貢獻也有所增加。
And the software that's embedded with them, follows.
隨後是嵌入其中的軟體。

Understood.
明白了。
And, maybe, as a follow-up, asking about backlog.
並且,也許,作為後續行動,詢問有關積壓的情況。
More philosophically, where do you think the product portion of your backlog, not where it ends up this year, but going forward over the next few years, do you get back to a roughly $3 billion historical level?
從哲學角度來說,您認為積壓訂單中的產品部分佔比是多少?
Or because there's an increased video security portion, does that have elevated levels versus historical?
還是因為視訊安全部分增加了,其水準與歷史相比是否有所提升?

Well, the video part of our business, which is growing, and we expect, this year, to be over $2 billion, is largely a quick-turn business and doesn't come from backlog.
嗯,我們業務的影片部分正在成長,我們預計今年的收入將超過 20 億美元,這基本上是一項快速週轉的業務,而不是來自積壓訂單。
So that is changing the mix of what we would expect to do.
所以,這改變了我們期望做的事情的組合。
But, I think, stepping back, demand continues to be strong.
但我認為,退一步來看,需求仍然強勁。
It's reflective in not only our backlog position, but also a growing pipeline.
這不僅反映了我們的積壓情況,也反映了不斷增長的管道。
And this quick-turner, in your orders, is something that, in any year, is important to be a contributor to our outlook expectations.
而您的訂單中的這種快速週轉在任何一年都對於我們展望預期具有重要貢獻。
So it's both backlog and pipeline.
因此,這既是積壓任務,也是管道任務。

I just want to say thank you to all the people and the partners in Motorola Solutions that made this past year a great year.
我只想對摩托羅拉系統公司的所有員工和合作夥伴說謝謝,因為你們讓過去的一年成為了偉大的一年。
I appreciate everything you do.
我感謝你所做的一切。
As importantly or more importantly, I appreciate what you continue to do, as we start this year with a growing pipeline, a strong balance sheet, and operating a company where safety and security remains prioritized with a lot of our end-user customers.
同樣重要或更重要的是,我感謝您繼續做的一切,因為我們今年的開端就是不斷增長的產品線、強勁的資產負債表,並且我們在運營公司時仍然將許多最終用戶客戶的安全和保障放在首位。
And I think that informs our excitement about the year, informs our prudent guide.
我認為這讓我們對這一年感到興奮,也讓我們有了審慎的指引。
And it leads me to anticipate another year of record revenue, of record earnings.
這讓我預計今年的營收和獲利將再創紀錄。
And I love the fact that we're set up and we expect a third consecutive year of double-digit operating cash flow.
我很高興我們已經做好了準備,我們預計連續第三年實現兩位數的營運現金流。
I also do want to point out and thank all the people associated with the LA fires and the terrorist attack in New Orleans.
我還要指出並感謝所有與洛杉磯火災和新奧爾良恐怖攻擊有關的人。
By the way, there's some employees that were impacted, within our company, by those tragedies.
順便說一句,我們公司的一些員工受到了這些悲劇的影響。
But every single time something like that occurs, inevitably, I hear from Jack and the team about countless examples of selfless employees who go above and beyond and I'm reminded around the criticality of the solutions that we sell, in all things public safety and mission critical communications.
但每次發生這樣的事情時,我不可避免地會從傑克和團隊那裡聽到無數無私的員工的例子,他們超越自我,讓我意識到我們所銷售的解決方案在所有公共安全和關鍵任務通信領域的重要性。
And I appreciate that.
我對此表示感謝。
Thank you for joining us, today.
感謝您今天加入我們。
I look forward to talking to you all, again, with our team in May.
我期待著五月與我們的團隊再次與大家交談。
And I appreciate you.
