There were no material changes in the Company’s market risk during the quarter ended July 2, 2016. For additional information on market risk, refer to the “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” section of the Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2015.
In the normal course of business, portions of the Company’s operations are subject to fluctuations in currency values. The Company manages these risks using derivative financial instruments. See Note 9 Derivative Instruments to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for further discussion of derivative instruments.
Zebra could be adversely impacted by the United Kingdom’s referendum on withdrawal from the European Union. Zebra maintains its European regional headquarters and a label converting facility in the U.K. and has significant operations and sales throughout Europe. Because the terms of the U.K.’s withdrawal are uncertain, we are unable at this time to determine the impact on Zebra’s operations and business in the U.K. and Europe. The U.K.’s referendum has resulted, and is expected to continue to result, in market volatility, including fluctuations in the British Pound, that could adversely impact Zebra’s operating costs in the U.K. Such market volatility could also cause customers to alter or delay buying decisions that would adversely impact Zebra’s sales in the U.K. and throughout Europe. A significant portion of our business involves cross border transactions throughout the region. Future trade agreements between the U.K. and the European Union could adversely impact Zebra’s operations in the region by increasing costs on or importation requirements on shipments between our distribution center in the Netherlands and customers in the U.K. or between our facility in the U.K. and customers in the European Union.
