Second Quarter 2024 Financial Summary and Other Recent Developments

• Net sales were $1,217 million in the current quarter compared to $1,214 million in the prior year.

• Operating income was $167 million in the current quarter compared to $194 million in the prior year.

• Net income was $113 million, or $2.17 per diluted share in the current quarter, compared to net income of $144 million, or $2.78 per diluted share in the prior year.

• Net cash provided by operating activities was $413 million in the current year compared to net cash used in operating activities of $110 million in the prior year.

In the current quarter distributor inventory levels remained relatively stable and, as expected, we saw a modest recovery in the demand trends particularly in our EVM segment’s mobile computing business; however, our results continued to be impacted by weakness in certain of our end markets, most pronounced in our AIT segment. As discussed below, our second quarter results benefited from the actions taken under our 2022 Productivity Plan and the U.S. voluntary retirement plan. We expect revenues and profitability to improve both sequentially from the first half to the second half of the current year, and on a year-over-year basis in the second half of the year.

The Company substantially completed the actions under the 2022 Productivity Plan in the current quarter. Total charges associated with the 2022 Productivity Plan and the U.S. voluntary retirement plan, which was completed in 2023, were $123 million to date, including $3 million recorded in the current quarter. The costs of these actions are classified within Exit and restructuring on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Together, these programs have impacted over 9% of our global employee base and are expected to result in annualized net cost savings of approximately $120 million, primarily within Operating expenses. The Company has realized a total of $100 million in annualized net savings to date, with $50 million in 2023 and $50 million in the first half of 2024, and estimates full calendar year 2024 total net savings to approximate $60 million with the remainder expected to be realized in 2025.

During the current quarter, the Company completed a private offering of $500 million senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes”) with a 6.5% fixed interest rate; the proceeds of which, were partially used to repay the outstanding debt under its Revolving Credit Facility, the Receivables Financing Facility that matured on May 13, 2024, and Term Loan A principal repayments. Additionally, with the issuance of the fixed rate Senior Notes, the Company terminated its interest rate swap agreements which were intended to result in a fixed interest rate on a portion of our variable rate debt.

(1)Operating results reported in U.S. Dollars are affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign currency translation impact represents the difference in results that are attributable to fluctuations in the currency exchange rates used to convert the results for businesses where the functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar. This impact is calculated by translating the current period results at the currency exchange rates used in the comparable prior year period, inclusive of the Company’s foreign currency hedging program.

Second quarter 2024 compared to Second quarter 2023

Total Net sales increased slightly by $3 million or 0.2% compared to the prior year as growth in our EVM segment was largely offset by a decline in our AIT segment. Excluding the effects of currency changes, Consolidated Organic Net sales decreased by 0.3%.

Gross margin increased to 48.4% for the current year compared to 47.9% for the prior year. As compared to the prior year, Gross margin was higher in our EVM segment and lower in our AIT segment.

Operating expenses for the quarters ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 were $422 million and $387 million, or 34.7% and 31.9% of Net sales, respectively. Current year Operating expenses were higher than the prior year primarily due to higher

incentive compensation, due in part to a significant reduction of incentive compensation expense in the prior year associated with the Company’s performance target attainment assessment on certain performance-based compensation awards. The increase in incentive compensation was partially offset by cost savings largely attributed to our Exit and restructuring actions.

Operating income was $167 million for the current year compared to $194 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to higher Operating expenses.

Net income decreased compared to the prior year primarily due to lower Operating income, as described above, and higher Other expense, net. The increase in Other expense, net was primarily due to lower interest rate swap gains and a long-term investment loss in the current year, partially offset by favorable changes in Foreign exchange gain (loss) as compared to the prior year.

The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 were 16.9% and 15.8%, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share decreased to $2.17 as compared to $2.78 in the prior year due to lower Net income.

Year to date 2024 compared to Year to date 2023

Total Net sales decreased $227 million or 8.7% compared to the prior year reflecting declines in both of our segments. Excluding the effects of currency changes, Consolidated Organic Net sales decreased by 9.2%.

Gross margin increased to 48.2% for the current year compared to 47.7% for the prior year. As compared to the prior year, Gross margin was higher in our EVM segment and lower in our AIT segment. Gross margins of both segments benefited from lower freight rates and favorable changes in foreign currency rates compared to the prior year.

Operating expenses for the year ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 were $826 million and $829 million, or 34.5% and 31.7% of Net sales, respectively. Current year Operating expenses were slightly lower than the prior year primarily due to cost savings largely attributed to our Exit and restructuring actions, that were largely offset by higher incentive compensation. The increase as a percentage of Net sales over the prior year reflects the impact of expense deleveraging.

Operating income was $326 million for the current year compared to $419 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to lower Gross profit.

Net income decreased compared to the prior year primarily due to lower Operating income, as described above, partially offset by lower Other expense, net. The decrease in Other expense, net was primarily due to higher interest rate swap gains in the current year compared to the prior year, partially offset by higher interest expense associated with higher interest rates in the current year.

The Company’s effective tax rates for the six months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 were 18.0% and 17.4%, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share decreased to $4.40 as compared to $5.68 in the prior year due to lower Net income.

Second quarter 2024 compared to Second quarter 2023

Total Net sales for EVM increased $65 million or 8.6% compared to the prior year primarily due to higher sales of mobile computing products, partially offset by lower sales of data capture products. Excluding the impacts of foreign currency changes, EVM Organic Net sales increased by 8.2%.

Gross margin increased to 49.0% in the current year compared to 47.2% for the prior year primarily due to lower inventory-related charges, volume leverage, lower freight rates, and favorable changes in foreign currency rates.

Operating income for the current year increased by 0.8% compared to the prior year due to higher Gross profit, largely offset by higher Operating expenses.

Year to date 2024 compared to Year to date 2023

Total Net sales for EVM decreased $35 million or 2.1% compared to the prior year primarily due to lower sales of data capture products, partially offset by higher sales of mobile computing products, and services and software. Excluding the impacts of foreign currency changes, EVM Organic Net sales decreased by 2.5%.

Gross margin increased to 48.7% in the current year compared to 46.7% for the prior year primarily due to higher service and software margins, lower freight rates, and favorable changes in foreign currency rates.

Operating income for the current year decreased by 4.7% compared to the prior year due to higher Operating expenses, partially offset by higher Gross profit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary factors that influence our liquidity include the amount and timing of cash collections from our customers, cash payments to our suppliers, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and share repurchases. Management believes that our existing capital resources, inclusive of available borrowing capacity on debt and other financing facilities and funds generated from operations, are sufficient to meet anticipated capital requirements and service our indebtedness. The following table summarizes our cash flow activities for the periods indicated (in millions):

			Six Months Ended
Cash flow provided by (used in):			June 29, 2024						July 1, 2023						$ Change
Operating activities			$	413					$	(110)					$	523
Investing activities			(25)						(35)						10
Financing activities			(115)						97						(212)
Effect of exchange rates on cash balances			—						(1)						1
Net change in cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash			$	273					$	(49)					$	322

The change in our cash and cash equivalents balance during the six months ended June 29, 2024 compared to the prior year is primarily due to the following:

• $523 million change in operating activities primarily due to lower cash payments for inventory purchases and the reduction of overall inventory levels, lower income tax payments, higher cash receipts on interest rate swaps attributed to the termination of those agreements, as well as lower employee incentive compensation and legal settlement payments, partially offset by unfavorable timing of customer collections, including reduced accounts receivable factoring activity.

• $212 million change in financing activities primarily due to current year net debt repayments as a portion of the recently issued Senior Notes was utilized to reduce total debt, compared to net borrowings and common stock repurchases in the prior year.

Company Debt

The following table shows the carrying value of the Company’s debt (in millions):

			June 29, 2024						December 31, 2023
Term Loan A			$	1,575					$	1,684
Senior Notes			500						—
Revolving Credit Facility			—						413
Receivables Financing Facilities			108						129
Total debt			$	2,183					$	2,226
Less: Debt issuance costs			(11)						(2)
Less: Unamortized discounts			(3)						(4)
Less: Current portion of debt			(89)						(173)
Total long-term debt			$	2,080					$	2,047

Term Loan A

The principal on Term Loan A is due in quarterly installments, with the next quarterly installment due in the second quarter of 2026 and the majority due upon maturity in 2027. 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. The Company made $109 million of principal payments during the six months ended June 29, 2024, inclusive of prepayment of amounts due in 2024 and 2025. As of June 29, 2024, the Term Loan A interest rate was 6.69%. Interest payments are made monthly and are subject to variable rates plus an applicable margin.

Senior Notes

On May 28, 2024, the Company completed a private offering of $500 million senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes”) with a 6.5% fixed interest rate. The net proceeds of the issuance, after deducting debt issuance costs which were deferred and will be amortized over the term of the Senior Notes, were approximately $492 million. The proceeds were partially used to repay the outstanding debt under its Revolving Credit Facility, the Receivables Financing Facility that matured on May 13, 2024, and Term Loan A principal repayments. The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes. The Senior Notes mature on June 1, 2032, and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears in June and December of each year, commencing on December 1, 2024. The Company has the option or could be required to prepay certain outstanding amounts in the event of certain circumstances or transactions.

With the issuance of the fixed rate Senior Notes, the Company terminated its interest rate swap agreements, which were intended to result in a fixed interest rate on a portion of its variable rate debt.

The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of Zebra’s existing and future subsidiaries. The Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of Zebra to: (i) grant or incur liens; (ii) have its subsidiaries guarantee debt without becoming guarantors; and (iii) merge or consolidate with another company or sell all or substantially all of its assets.

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 June 29, 2024, the Company had letters of credit totaling $10 million, which reduced funds available for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility from $1,500 million to $1,490 million. As of June 29, 2024, the Revolving Credit Facility had an average interest rate of 6.69%. 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 Facility

As of June 29, 2024, the Company has a Receivables Financing Facility with a borrowing limit of up to $180 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 this facility as secured borrowings. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company amended this facility to extend the maturity to March 19, 2027, but otherwise did not substantially change the terms of the facility. The Company’s additional facility, which allowed for borrowings of up to $100 million, matured on May 13, 2024 and was not renewed.

As of June 29, 2024, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets included $537 million of gross receivables that were pledged under the facility. As of June 29, 2024, $108 million had been borrowed, of which $89 million was classified as current.

Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a variable rate plus an applicable margin. As of June 29, 2024, the facility had an average interest rate of 6.39%. Interest is paid monthly on these borrowings.

See Note 9, Long-Term Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details related to the Company’s debt instruments.

Receivables Factoring

The Company transfers certain receivables to banks without recourse as part of its credit and cash management activities. Such transfers are accounted for as sales and the related receivables are removed from the Company’s balance sheet. The Company does not maintain any beneficial interest in the receivables sold. 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 Cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, while sale proceeds in excess of the fair value of factored receivables are reflected in Cash flows from financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of June 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were a total of $7 million and $56 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 $74 million and $112 million of obligations that were not yet remitted to banks as of June 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These obligations are included within Accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in such obligations reflected within Cash flows from financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

See Note 16, Accounts Receivable Factoring in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Share Repurchases

On May 17, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to an incremental $1 billion of its outstanding shares of common stock. This authorization augments the previous $1 billion share repurchase authorization which was announced on July 30, 2019. The May 2022 share repurchase program does not have a stated expiration date. The level of the Company’s repurchases depends on a number of factors, including its financial condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors its management may deem relevant. The timing, volume, and nature of repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors and may be amended, suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases may be affected from time to time through open market purchases, including pursuant to a pre-set trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
