NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Zebra Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Zebra” or the “Company”) is a global leader providing innovative Enterprise Asset Intelligence (“EAI”) solutions in the automatic identification and data capture solutions industry. We design, manufacture, and sell a broad range of products and solutions, including cloud-based software subscriptions, that capture and move data. We also provide a full range of services, including maintenance, technical support, repair, managed and professional services. End-users of our products, solutions and services include those in retail and e-commerce, manufacturing, transportation and logistics, healthcare, public sector, and other industries. We provide our products, solutions and services globally through a direct sales force and an extensive network of channel partners.
Management prepared these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information and notes. As permitted under Article 10 of Regulation S-X and the instructions of Form 10-Q, these consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and notes required by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements, although management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
In the opinion of the Company, these interim financial statements include all adjustments (of a normal, recurring nature) necessary to fairly present its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 2, 2022, the Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income and Stockholders’ Equity for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021. These results, however, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
Effective January 1, 2022, the location solutions offering, which provides a range of real-time location systems (“RTLS”) and services that generate on-demand information about the physical location and status of assets, equipment, and people, moved from our Asset Intelligence & Tracking (“AIT”) segment into our Enterprise Visibility & Mobility (“EVM”) segment contemporaneous with a change in our organizational structure and management of the business. We have reported our results reflecting this change, including historical periods, on a comparable basis. This change does not have an impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 18, Segment Information & Geographic Data for additional information related to each segment’s results.
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies
For a discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies within Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Note 3 Revenues
The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive for providing those goods or services.
Revenues for products are generally recognized upon shipment, whereas revenues for services and solution offerings are generally recognized over time by using an output or time-based method, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. Revenues for software are recognized either upon delivery or over time using a time-based method, depending upon how control is transferred to the customer. In cases where a bundle of products, services, solutions and/or software are delivered to the customer, judgment is required to select the method of progress which best reflects the transfer of control.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table presents our Net sales disaggregated by product category for each of our segments, AIT and EVM, for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021 (in millions):

(1)Amounts included in Corporate, eliminations consist of purchase accounting adjustments.
In addition, refer to Note 18, Segment Information & Geographic Data for Net sales to customers by geographic region.
Performance Obligations
The Company’s remaining performance obligations primarily relate to repair and support services, as well as solution offerings. The aggregated transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for arrangements with an original term exceeding one year was $1,055 million and $1,033 million, inclusive of deferred revenue, as of July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. On average, remaining performance obligations as of July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are expected to be recognized over a period of approximately two years.
Contract Balances
Progress on satisfying performance obligations under contracts with customers related to billed revenues is reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Accounts receivable, net. Progress on satisfying performance obligations under contracts with customers related to unbilled revenues (“contract assets”) is reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Prepaid expenses and other current assets for revenues expected to be billed within the next twelve months, and Other long-term assets for revenues expected to be billed thereafter. The total contract asset balances were $12 million and $10 million as of July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. These contract assets result from timing differences between billing and satisfying performance obligations, as well as the impact from the allocation of the transaction price among performance obligations for contracts that include multiple performance obligations. Contract assets are evaluated for impairment and no impairment losses have been recognized during the three and six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively.
Deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consists of payments and billings in advance of our performance. The combined short-term and long-term deferred revenue balances were $731 million and $695 million as of July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. During the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, the Company recognized $108 million and $237 million in revenue, which was previously included in the beginning balance of deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021. During the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, the Company recognized $75 million and $185 million in revenue, which was previously included in the beginning balance of deferred revenue as of December 31, 2020.
Note 4 Inventories

Note 5 Business Acquisitions
Matrox
On June 3, 2022, the Company acquired Matrox Electronic Systems Ltd. (“Matrox”), a developer of advanced machine vision components and software. Through its acquisition of Matrox, the Company intends to expand its machine vision products and software offerings.
The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The Company’s total purchase consideration was $878 million comprised of $875 million in cash paid at closing, net of Matrox’s cash on-hand and an additional $3 million of cash that will be paid in the third quarter of 2022.
The Company utilized estimated fair values as of the acquisition date to allocate the total purchase consideration to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value of the net assets acquired was based on several estimates and assumptions, as well as customary valuation techniques, primarily the excess earnings method for customer relationships as well as the relief from royalty method for technology and patent intangible assets. While we believe these estimates provide a reasonable basis to record the net assets acquired, the purchase price allocation is considered preliminary and subject to adjustment during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date. The primary fair value estimates still considered preliminary as of July 2, 2022 include intangible assets and income tax-related items.
The preliminary purchase price allocation to assets acquired and liabilities assumed was as follows (in millions):
| Identifiable intangible assets | $ | 257 | |||
| Inventory | 33 | ||||
| Other assets acquired | 13 | ||||
| Deferred tax liabilities | (68) | ||||
| Other liabilities assumed | (21) | ||||
| Net assets acquired | $ | 214 | |||
| Goodwill on acquisition | 664 | ||||
| Total purchase price | $ | 878 |
The $664 million of goodwill, which is non-deductible for tax purposes, has been allocated to the EVM segment and principally relates to the planned global expansion and integration of Matrox into the Company’s machine vision offerings.
The preliminary purchase price allocation to identifiable intangible assets acquired was as follows:
| Fair Value (in millions) | Useful Life (in years) | ||||||||||
| Customer and other relationships | $ | 196 | 11 | ||||||||
| Technology and patents | 59 | 7 | |||||||||
| Trade names | 2 | 2 | |||||||||
| Total identifiable intangible assets | $ | 257 |
In connection with the acquisition of Matrox, the Company granted $13 million of cash-settled RSUs to certain employees, which are attributable to service to be rendered subsequent to the acquisition and will generally be expensed over a 3-year service period.
The Company has not included unaudited pro forma results, as if Matrox had been acquired as of January 1, 2021, as doing so would not yield materially different results.
The Company incurred approximately $14 million of acquisition-related costs during the second quarter of 2022, primarily related to third-party transaction and advisory fees associated with the Matrox acquisition. These costs are included within Acquisition and integration costs on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Note 8 Fair Value Measurements
Financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into the following three broad levels:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs (e.g. U.S. Treasuries and money market funds).
-
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets but corroborated by market data.
-
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs to the extent possible. In addition, the Company considers counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of July 2, 2022, are classified below (in millions):

(1)The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts is calculated as follows:
-
Fair value of regular forward contracts associated with forecasted sales hedges is calculated using the period-end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points.
-
Fair value of hedges against net assets is calculated at the period-end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points unless the hedge has been traded but not settled at year end (Level 2). If this is the case, the fair value is calculated at the rate at which the hedge is being settled (Level 1).
(2)The fair value of forward interest rate swaps is based upon a valuation model that uses relevant observable market inputs at the quoted intervals, such as forward yield curves, and is adjusted for the Company’s credit risk and the interest rate swap terms.
Note 9 Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to global market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to such risks and may elect to designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The Company formally documents all relationships between designated hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking hedge transactions. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
In accordance with ASC 815, the Company recognizes derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures them at fair value. The following table presents the fair value of its derivative instruments (in millions):

Activities related to derivative instruments are reflected within Net cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Credit and Market Risk Management
Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose the Company to counterparty credit risk of nonperformance and to market risk related to currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations. The Company manages its exposure to counterparty credit risk by establishing minimum credit standards, diversifying its counterparties, and monitoring its concentrations of credit. The Company’s counterparties are commercial banks with expertise in derivative financial instruments. The Company evaluates the impact of market risk on the fair value and cash flows of its derivative and other financial instruments by considering
reasonably possible changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. The Company continually monitors the creditworthiness of the customers to which it grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The terms and conditions of the Company’s credit policies are designed to mitigate concentrations of credit risk.
The Company’s master netting and other similar arrangements with the respective counterparties allow for net settlement under certain conditions, which are designed to reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement with the same counterparty. We present the assets and liabilities of our derivative financial instruments, for which we have net settlement agreements in place, on a net basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. If the derivative financial instruments had been presented gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the asset and liability positions would have been unchanged as of July 2, 2022 and increased by $1 million as of December 31, 2021.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Management
The Company conducts business on a multinational basis in a variety of foreign currencies. Exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises primarily from Euro-denominated external revenues, cross-border financing activities between subsidiaries, and foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The Company manages its objective of preserving the economic value of non-functional currency denominated cash flows by initially hedging transaction exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through foreign exchange forward and option contracts, as deemed appropriate.
The Company manages the exchange rate risk of anticipated Euro-denominated sales using forward contracts, which typically mature within twelve months of execution. The Company designates these derivative contracts as cash flow hedges. Unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets until the contract is settled and the hedged sale is realized. The realized gain or loss is then recorded as an adjustment to Net sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Realized amounts reclassified to Net sales were $27 million of gains and $8 million of losses for the three months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively. Realized amounts reclassified to Net sales were $43 million of gains and $20 million of losses for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively. As of July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the notional amounts of the Company’s foreign exchange cash flow hedges were €459 million and €675 million, respectively. The Company has reviewed its cash flow hedges for effectiveness and determined that they are highly effective.
The Company uses forward contracts, which are not designated as hedging instruments, to manage its exposures related to net assets denominated in foreign currencies. These forward contracts typically mature within one month after execution. Monetary gains and losses on these forward contracts are recorded in income and are generally offset by the transaction gains and losses related to their net asset positions. The notional values and the net fair values of these outstanding contracts were as follows (in millions):

Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company’s debt consists of borrowings under a term loan (“Term Loan A”), Revolving Credit Facility, and Receivables Financing Facilities, which bear interest at variable rates plus applicable margins. As a result, the Company is exposed to market risk associated with the variable interest rate payments on these borrowings. See Note 10, Long-Term Debt for further details about these borrowings.
The Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by utilizing long-term forward interest rate swaps to hedge this exposure and to achieve a desired proportion of fixed versus floating-rate debt, based on current and projected market conditions.
The Company has one active long-term forward interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $800 million to lock into a fixed LIBOR interest rate base, which is subject to monthly net cash settlements effective through December 2022.
The Company also previously held fixed LIBOR interest rate swaps with an $800 million total notional amount that were subject to net cash settlements effective between December 2022 and August 2024. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company terminated those interest rate swaps and entered into new interest rate swap agreements that contain a total notional amount of $800 million to lock into a fixed SOFR interest rate base and will be subject to monthly net cash settlements effective in December 2022 and ending in October 2027.
The Company’s interest rate swaps are not designated as hedges and changes in fair value are recognized immediately as Interest (expense) income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

| Total future debt maturities | $ | 2,171 |
All borrowings as of July 2, 2022 were denominated in U.S. Dollars.
The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt approximated $2.1 billion and $1.0 billion as of July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. These fair value amounts, developed based on inputs classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy, represent the estimated value at which the Company’s lenders could trade its debt within the financial markets and do not represent the settlement value of these liabilities to the Company. The fair value of debt will continue to vary each period based on a number of factors, including fluctuations in market interest rates as well as changes to the Company’s credit ratings.
In May 2022, the Company refinanced its long-term credit facilities by entering into its third amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 3”). Amendment No. 3 increased the Company’s borrowing under Term Loan A from $875 million to $1.75 billion and increased the Company’s borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility from $1 billion to $1.5 billion. Amendment No. 3 also extended the maturities of Term Loan A and the Revolving Credit Facility to May 25, 2027 and replaced LIBOR with SOFR as the benchmark reference rate.
This refinancing resulted in one-time charges of $2 million, which included certain third party fees and the accelerated amortization of previously deferred issuance costs. These items are included in Interest (expense) income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, $6 million of new issuance costs and fees were deferred and will be amortized over the remaining term of Term Loan A and the Revolving Credit Facility.
Term Loan A
The principal on Term Loan A is due in quarterly installments, with the next quarterly installment due in September 2022 and the majority due upon the May 25, 2027 maturity date. The Company may make prepayments, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, and would be required to prepay certain outstanding amounts in the event of certain circumstances or transactions. As of July 2, 2022, the Term Loan A interest rate was 3.10%. Interest payments are generally made monthly and are subject to variable rates plus an applicable margin.
Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has a Revolving Credit Facility that is available for working capital and other general business purposes, including letters of credit. As of July 2, 2022, the Company had letters of credit totaling $7 million, which reduced funds available for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility from $1,500 million to $1,493 million. As of July 2, 2022, the Revolving Credit Facility had an average interest rate of 2.57%. Upon borrowing, interest payments are made monthly and are subject to variable rates plus an applicable margin. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on May 25, 2027.
Receivables Financing Facilities
The Company has two Receivables Financing Facilities with financial institutions that have a combined total borrowing limit of up to $280 million. As collateral, the Company pledges perfected first-priority security interests in its U.S. domestically originated accounts receivable. The Company has accounted for transactions under its Receivables Financing Facilities as secured borrowings. The Company’s first Receivables Financing Facility allows for borrowings of up to $180 million and matures on March 19, 2024. The Company’s second Receivable Financing Facility allows for borrowings of up to $100 million and matures on May 15, 2023.
As of July 2, 2022, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets included $763 million of receivables that were pledged under the two Receivables Financing Facilities. As of July 2, 2022, $186 million had been borrowed, of which $100 million was classified as current. Borrowings under the Receivables Financing Facilities bear interest at a variable rate plus an applicable margin. As of July 2, 2022, the Receivables Financing Facilities had an average interest rate of 2.57%. Interest is paid on these borrowings on a monthly basis.
Each of the Company’s borrowing arrangements described above include terms and conditions that limit the incurrence of additional borrowings and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels.
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate risk associated with its debt. See Note 9**,** Derivative Instruments for further information.
As of July 2, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
Note 11 Leases
During the three months ended July 2, 2022, the Company recorded an additional $54 million of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations primarily related to the commencement of a new distribution center lease agreement and an extension to a real estate lease agreement.

Contingencies
The Company is subject to a variety of investigations, claims, suits, and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to, intellectual property, employment, tort, and breach of contract matters. The Company currently believes that the outcomes of such proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its business, cash flows, financial position, or results of operations. Any legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and the Company’s view of these matters and their potential effects may change in the future. The Company records a liability for contingencies when a loss is deemed to be probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated.
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a License and Settlement agreement (“Settlement”) to resolve certain patent-related litigation. Under the Settlement, the Company and the counterparty each agreed to a mutual general release from all past claims asserted by the parties; entered into a covenant not to sue for patent infringement; agreed to a payment by the Company to the counterparty for past damages of $360 million and entered into a royalty-free cross-license with respect to each party’s existing patent portfolio for the lives of the licensed patents. Based on the terms of the Settlement and a relative fair value analysis of each of the settlement provisions, the Company concluded that no significant portion of the payment resulted in a future benefit, and as such, the full $360 million was recorded as a charge in the current quarter. That charge, along with $12 million of external legal fees, is reflected within Settlement and related costs on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The payment terms under the Settlement consist of 8 quarterly payments of $45 million beginning in the current quarter. The portion payable in the next 12 months is included within Accrued liabilities, with the remaining amounts included within Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Item 1, Legal Proceedings for additional information.
Note 13 Share-Based Compensation
In May 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved the Zebra Technologies 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan superseded and replaced the Zebra Technologies Corporation 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”) on the approval date, except that the 2015 Plan, as well as the Zebra Technologies Corporation 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan that was previously superseded by the 2015 Plan, remain in effect with respect to outstanding stock appreciation rights that were granted under those plans until such awards have been exercised, forfeited, cancelled, expired or otherwise terminated in accordance with their terms. Awards available under the 2018 Plan include stock-settled awards, including stock-settled restricted stock units, stock-settled performance stock units, restricted stock awards, performance share awards, stock appreciation rights, incentive stock options, and non-qualified stock options. Awards available under the 2018 Plan also include cash-settled awards, including cash-settled stock appreciation rights, cash-settled restricted stock units, and cash-settled performance stock units. No awards remain available for future grants under the 2015 Plan or previous plans.
The Company uses treasury shares as its source for issuing shares under the share-based compensation programs. As of July 2, 2022, the Company had 2,878,812 shares of Class A Common stock remaining available to be issued under the 2018 Plan.
The compensation expense from the Company’s share-based compensation plans and associated income tax benefit, excluding the effects of excess tax benefits or shortfalls, were included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows (in millions):

As of July 2, 2022, total unearned compensation costs related to the Company’s share-based compensation plans was $149 million, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining service period of approximately 1.6 years.
The majority of the Company’s share-based compensation awards are generally issued as part of its employee and non-employee director incentive program during the second quarter of each fiscal year. The Company also issues awards associated with business acquisitions or other off-cycle events.
Stock-Settled Restricted Stock Units (“stock-settled RSUs”) and Stock-Settled Performance Share Units (“stock-settled PSUs”)
The Company began issuing stock-settled RSUs and stock-settled PSUs in the second quarter of 2021. Stock-settled RSUs and stock-settled PSUs each typically vest over a three-year service period, with stock-settled RSUs vesting ratably in three annual installments and stock-settled PSUs vesting at the end of the three-year period. Vesting for each participant is subject to restrictions, such as continuous employment, except in certain cases as set forth in each stock agreement. Upon vesting, stock-settled RSUs and stock-settled PSUs are converted into shares of Class A Common Stock that are released to participants.
Compensation cost for the Company’s stock-settled RSUs and stock-settled PSUs is expensed over each participant’s required service period. Compensation cost is calculated as the fair market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the grant date multiplied by the number of units granted, net of estimated forfeitures. The fair value of PSUs also includes assumptions around achievement of certain Company-wide financial performance goals.
Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”) and Performance Share Awards (“PSAs”)
Prior to 2021, the Company’s restricted stock grants consisted of time-vested RSAs and PSAs as part of the Company’s annual incentive program. These awards are considered participating securities. The outstanding RSAs and PSAs are included as part of the Company’s Class A Common Stock outstanding. The RSAs and PSAs vest at each vesting date, subject to restrictions such as continuous employment, except in certain cases as set forth in each stock agreement. Upon vesting, RSAs and PSAs are released to holders and are no longer subject to restrictions.
Compensation cost for the Company’s RSAs and PSAs is expensed over each participant’s required service period. Compensation cost is calculated as the fair market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the grant date multiplied by the number of units granted, net of estimated forfeitures. The fair value of PSAs also includes assumptions around achievement of certain Company-wide financial performance goals. The total required service period is typically three years.
The Company also issues RSAs to non-employee directors. The number of shares granted to each non-employee director is determined by dividing the value of the annual grant by the price of a share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. New directors in any fiscal year earn a prorated amount. During the first six months of 2022, there were 5,686 shares granted to non-employee directors compared to 2,877 shares during the first six months of 2021. The shares vest immediately on the grant date.
A summary of the Company’s restricted and performance stock-settled awards for the six months ended July 2, 2022 is as follows:

Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”)
SARs were previously granted primarily as part of the Company’s annual share-based compensation incentive program. Beginning in 2021, the Company no longer included SARs in its annual share based compensation award issuances and did not issue any SARs during the six months ended July 2, 2022.
A summary of the Company’s SARs for the six months ended July 2, 2022 is as follows:

The intrinsic value of SARs exercised during the six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021 was $6 million and $38 million, respectively. The total fair value of SARs vested during the six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021 was $3 million and $5 million, respectively.
Reflexis Replacement Options
In connection with the Company’s September 2020 acquisition of Reflexis, the Company assumed the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan of Reflexis Systems, Inc. (the “Reflexis Plan”) and replaced certain unvested options under the Reflexis Plan with Zebra incentive stock options (“Reflexis Replacement Options”). Upon exercise of Reflexis Replacement Options, the Company receives cash proceeds equal to the exercise price and issues whole shares of Class A Common Stock to participants.
As of July 2, 2022, there were 19,540 outstanding Reflexis Replacement Options, of which 17,132 were exercisable. The outstanding awards have a weighted average exercise price and remaining contractual life of $57.69 and 5.9 years, respectively. The awards that are exercisable have a weighted average exercise price and remaining contractual life of $55.47 and 5.7 years, respectively. The intrinsic value of Reflexis Replacement Options exercised was $2 million each during the six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021. The total fair value of Reflexis Replacement Options vested during the six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021 was $1 million and $3 million, respectively.
Cash-settled awards
The Company also has cash-settled share-based compensation awards, including cash-settled stock appreciation rights, cash-settled restricted stock units and cash-settled performance stock units that are classified as liability awards. These awards are expensed over the vesting period of the related award, which is typically three years. Compensation cost is calculated at the fair value on grant date multiplied by the number of share-equivalents granted. The fair value is remeasured at the end of each reporting period based on the Company’s stock price, with remeasurements reflected as an adjustment to compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash settlement is based on the fair value of share equivalents at the time of vesting, which was $4 million and $9 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively. Share-equivalents issued under these programs totaled 64,056 and 9,262 during the six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively.
In connection with the acquisition of Matrox, the Company granted $13 million of cash-settled RSUs to certain employees, which are attributable to service to be rendered subsequent to the acquisition and will generally be expensed over a 3-year service period.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In May 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the Zebra Technologies Corporation 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2020 ESPP”), which superseded the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2011 ESPP”) and became effective on July 1, 2020. Like the 2011 ESPP, the 2020 ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase common stock at 95% of the fair market value at the date of purchase. Employees may make purchases by cash or payroll deductions up to certain limits. The aggregate number of shares that may be purchased under the 2020 ESPP is 1,500,000 shares. As of July 2, 2022, 1,421,112 shares remained available for future purchase.
Note 14 Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022 was 35.9% and (10.3)%, respectively, compared to 8.0% and 13.0%, three and six respectively, for the comparable periods ended July 3, 2021. In the current period, the variance from the 21% federal statutory rate was primarily attributable to a discrete tax benefit resulting from the Settlement and related costs recorded in the quarter, lower tax rates on foreign earnings, and U.S. tax credits. In the prior period, the variance from the 21% federal statutory rate was primarily attributable to share-based compensation deductions, lower tax rates on foreign earnings and U.S. tax credits.
The Company evaluated the provisions of the American Rescue Plan Act, signed into law on March 11, 2021; the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, signed into law on December 27, 2020; and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020. The provisions of these laws did not have a significant impact to our effective tax rate in either the current or prior year. Management continues to monitor guidance regarding these laws and developments related to other coronavirus tax relief throughout the world for potential impacts.
The Company earns a significant amount of its operating income outside of the U.S that is taxed at rates different than the U.S. federal statutory rate. The Company’s principal foreign jurisdictions that provide sources of operating income are the U.K. and Singapore. The Company has received an incentivized tax rate from the Singapore Economic Development Board, which reduces the income tax rate in that jurisdiction effective for calendar years 2019 to 2023. The Company has committed to making additional investments in Singapore over the period 2019 to 2022. However, should the Company not make these investments in accordance with the agreement, any incentive benefit would have to be repaid to the Singapore tax authorities.
The Company is not permanently reinvested with respect to its U.S. directly-owned foreign subsidiaries. The Company is subject to U.S. income tax on substantially all foreign earnings under Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, while any remaining foreign earnings are eligible for a dividends received deduction. As a result, future repatriation of earnings will not be subject to additional U.S. federal income tax but may be subject to currency translation gains or losses. Where required, the Company has recorded a deferred tax liability for foreign withholding taxes on current earnings. Additionally, gains and losses on any future taxable dispositions of U.S.-owned foreign affiliates continue to be subject to U.S. income tax.
Management evaluates all jurisdictions based on historical pre-tax earnings and taxable income to determine the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis. Based on this analysis, a valuation allowance has been recorded for any jurisdictions
where, in the Company’s judgment, tax benefits are not expected to be realized. There were no changes to our valuation allowance during the three and six months ended July 2, 2022.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company is currently undergoing U.S. federal income tax audits for tax years 2017 and 2018. Additionally, fiscal years 2009 through 2022 remain open to examination by multiple foreign and U.S. state taxing jurisdictions. As of July 2, 2022, no significant uncertain tax positions are expected to be settled within the next twelve months. Due to uncertainties in any tax audit or litigation outcome, the Company’s estimates of the ultimate settlements of uncertain tax positions may change and the actual tax benefits may differ significantly from estimates.
Note 15 (Loss) Earnings Per Share
Basic net (loss) earnings per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares assuming dilution. Dilutive common shares outstanding is computed using the Treasury Stock method and, in periods of income, reflects the additional shares that would be outstanding if dilutive share-based compensation awards were converted into common shares during the period.

(1) In periods of a net loss, restricted stock and performance share awards, which are participating securities, are excluded from weighted-average shares outstanding.
(2) In periods of net loss, all unvested share-based awards were anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from diluted shares.
Anti-dilutive share-based compensation awards are excluded from diluted earnings per share calculations. There were 630,182 and 335,476 shares that were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, respectively. No shares were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended and July 3, 2021.
Note 16 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Stockholders’ equity includes certain items classified as AOCI, including:
-
Unrealized gain (loss) on anticipated sales hedging transactions relates to derivative instruments used to hedge the exposure related to currency exchange rates for forecasted Euro sales. These hedges are designated as cash flow hedges, and the Company defers income statement recognition of gains and losses until the hedged transaction occurs. See Note 9, Derivative Instruments for more details.
-
Foreign currency translation adjustments relate to the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiary companies that have designated a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar. The Company is required to translate the subsidiary functional currency financial statements to U.S. Dollars using a combination of historical, period end, and average
foreign exchange rates. This combination of rates creates the foreign currency translation adjustment component of AOCI.
The components of AOCI for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021 are as follows (in millions):

Note 17 Accounts Receivable Factoring
The Company has Receivables Factoring arrangements, pursuant to which certain receivables are sold to banks without recourse in exchange for cash. Transactions under the Receivables Factoring arrangements are accounted for as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets, with the sold receivables removed from the Company’s balance sheet. Under these Receivables Factoring arrangements, the Company does not maintain any beneficial interest in the receivables sold. The banks’ purchase of eligible receivables is subject to a maximum amount of uncollected receivables. The Company services the receivables on behalf of the banks, but otherwise maintains no significant continuing involvement with respect to the receivables. Sale proceeds that are representative of the fair value of factored receivables, less a factoring fee, are reflected in Net cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, while sale proceeds in excess of the fair value of factored receivables are reflected in Net cash used in financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The Company currently has two active Receivables Factoring arrangements. One arrangement allows for the factoring of up to $25 million of uncollected receivables originated from the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”) region. The second arrangement allows for the factoring of up to €150 million of uncollected receivables originated from the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions. With respect to the second arrangement, the Company may be required to maintain a portion of sales proceeds as deposits in a restricted cash account that is released to the Company as it satisfies its obligations as servicer of sold receivables, which totaled $0 million and $12 million as of July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is classified within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, the Company received cash proceeds of $765 million and $814 million, respectively, from the sales of accounts receivables under its factoring arrangements. As of July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were a total of $64 million and $24 million, respectively, of uncollected receivables that had been sold and removed from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As servicer of sold receivables, the Company had $113 million and $141 million of obligations that were not yet remitted to banks as of July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. These obligations are included within Accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in such obligations reflected within Net cash used in financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Fees incurred in connection with these arrangements were not significant.
Note 18 Segment Information & Geographic Data
The Company’s operations consist of two reportable segments: Asset Intelligence & Tracking (“AIT”) and Enterprise Visibility & Mobility (“EVM”). The reportable segments have been identified based on the financial data utilized by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the chief operating decision maker or “CODM”) to assess segment performance and allocate resources among the Company’s segments. The CODM reviews adjusted operating income to assess segment profitability. To the extent applicable, segment operating income excludes business acquisition purchase accounting adjustments, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition and integration costs, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, exit and restructuring costs, as well as certain other non-recurring costs (such as the Settlement and related costs in the current year). Segment assets are not reviewed by the Company’s CODM and therefore are not disclosed below.
Effective January 1, 2022, the location solutions offering, which provides a range of RTLS and services that generate on-demand information about the physical location and status of assets, equipment, and people, moved from our AIT segment into our EVM segment contemporaneous with a change in our organizational structure and management of the business. We have reported our results reflecting this change, including historical periods, on a comparable basis. This change did not have an impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Financial information by segment is presented as follows (in millions):

(1)To the extent applicable, amounts included in Corporate eliminations consist of business acquisition purchase accounting adjustments, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition and integration costs, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, exit and restructuring costs, as well as certain other non-recurring costs (such as the Settlement and related costs in the current year).
(2)AIT and EVM segment operating income includes depreciation and share-based compensation expense. The amounts of depreciation and share-based compensation expense attributable to AIT and EVM are proportionate to each segment’s Net sales.
Information regarding the Company’s operations by geographic area is contained in the following tables. Net sales amounts are attributed to geographic area based on customer location. We manage our business based on regions rather than by individual countries.
