TO OUR INVESTORS

2015 was a very successful 

year. In our first full year 

following the acquisition 

of the Enterprise business, 

we delivered strong sales 

growth, improved profitability, 

and enhanced cash flow 

generation. We have also 

established Zebra as the global 

leader in Enterprise Asset 

Intelligence, well positioned at 

the intersection of several key 

mega-trends including mobility, 

cloud computing, and the 

Internet of Things. 

Our breadth and depth of products, services, and technologies are unmatched 
in the industry and provide enterprises with the visibility to improve productivity 
and deliver better experiences for their customers. Today, I can confidently say 
that we have become a more strategic and trusted advisor to leading enterprise 
customers and partners. Furthermore, we continue to enhance the financial 
profile of Zebra through the realization of cost synergies associated with the 
transaction, and debt pay-down. 

As we look forward, we remain focused on our four strategic priorities: 

•  Delivering Profitable Growth
•  Realizing Cost Synergies
•  De-levering the Balance Sheet
•  Operating as One Zebra

Customers in retail, manufacturing, transportation and logistics, and healthcare 
recognize the importance of our technology in achieving their long-term goals.  
This focus will continue to be critical for enterprises as they are investing for growth 
or looking to streamline their operations to improve efficiencies and profitability. 
Our healthy pipeline of innovative products and solutions will continue to make us a 
more strategic partner with customers. In terms of bolstering our financial strength, 
we expect to realize additional cost synergies in 2016, improve free cash flow, and 
further reduce debt. We will also continue to make meaningful progress on our 
transition to One Zebra as we execute on the remaining steps of our integration, 
bolster the Zebra brand, and implement our new channel partner program. 

We believe the execution of these priorities will enable achievement of our 
long-term financial goals to grow sales at least 4% - to - 5% over a cycle, expand 
adjusted EBITDA margin to 18% - to - 20% by the end of 2017, and reduce our 
net - debt - to - adjusted - EBITDA ratio to below three times.

I want to conclude by thanking our employees for their continued support and 
their tireless efforts over the last year. Without their strong commitment, we would 
not have been able to achieve integration milestones and drive continued growth 
in the business during this past year. I also want to recognize our partners and 
customers for their ongoing support. We are excited about the opportunities ahead 
of us and we look forward to providing updates on our progress.

Sincerely, 

Anders Gustafsson

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

THE COMPANY

Zebra is a global leader in the Automatic Identification and Data Capture (“AIDC”) market. The AIDC market 
consists of mobile computing, data capture, radio frequency identification devices (“RFID”), barcode printing and 
other automation products and services. Zebra’s solutions are proven to help our customers and end-users achieve their 
mission critical strategic business objectives, including improved efficiency and workflow management, increased 
productivity and asset utilization, real-time, actionable enterprise information, and better customer experiences.

We  design,  manufacture,  and  sell  a  broad  range  of  AIDC  products,  including:  mobile  computers,  barcode 
scanners, RFID readers, wireless LAN (“WLAN”) products, specialty printers for barcode labeling and personal 
identification, real-time location systems (“RTLS”), related accessories and supplies, such as self-adhesive labels 
and other consumables, and utilities and application software. End-users of our products include those in the retail, 
transportation and logistics, manufacturing, health care, hospitality, warehouse and distribution, energy and utilities, 
and education industries around the world. We provide our products and services globally through a direct sales 
force and extensive network of partners. We provide products and services in over 170 countries, with approximately 
120 facilities and 7,000 employees worldwide.

Through  innovative  application  of  our  technologies,  we  are  leading  an  evolution  of  the  AIDC  market  into 
Enterprise  Asset  Intelligence  (“EAI”)  solutions,  which  reflect  an  operational  framework  of  “sense,  analyze,  and 
act.”  Specifically,  EAI  encompasses  solutions,  which  automatically  sense  information  from  enterprise  assets, 
including packages moving through a supply chain, equipment in a factory, workers in warehouse, and shoppers in 
a store. Operational data from these assets, including status, location, utilization, or preferences, is then analyzed 
to provide actionable insights. Finally, with the benefits of mobility, these insights can be acted upon to drive better 
and more timely decisions by the user anywhere and anytime. As a result, our solutions and technologies enable 
enterprise users to improve operational effectiveness and achieve critical business objectives by becoming smarter 
and more connected.

The  evolution  of  the  AIDC  market  to  a  more  strategically  oriented  EAI  focus  is  being  driven  by  strong 
underlying secular trends in technology. These trends include internet of things (“IoT”), cloud based data analytics, 
and mobility. The IoT is enabling a proliferation of connected devices. This enables our EAI solutions to capture 
and  utilize  real-time  information  from  a  broad  range  of  connected  sensors  compared  to  typical  AIDC  solutions, 
which  primarily  draw  upon  only  one  sensor  (e.g.  a  barcode).  Cloud  computing  and  expanded  data  analytics  are 
allowing enterprises to make better business decisions through improved timeliness and visibility to information 
and workflows. While AIDC solutions sporadically capture limited amounts of data and populate static enterprise 
systems,  EAI  solutions  continuously  analyze  real-time  data  from  many  sources  to  generate  actionable  insights. 
Finally, the continued rapid growth of mobile devices and applications are significantly expanding mobile computing 
use cases to levels of near ubiquity in the enterprise. With expanded mobility, end-users are able to consume or act 
upon dynamic enterprise data and information anytime and anywhere. The broad availability of wireless and internet 
connectivity also supports the adoption and deployment of Zebra solutions to enable organizations to collect more 
data in real-time on the location, movement, and condition of their assets.

ACQUISITION OF ENTERPRISE BUSINESS

In October 2014, Zebra acquired the Enterprise business (“Enterprise”), excluding its iDEN, or Integrated Digital 
Enhanced Network Business from Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“MSI”), for $3.45 billion in cash (the “Acquisition”). 
Enterprise  is  an  industry  leader  in  mobile  computing  and  advanced  data  capture  technologies  and  services,  which 
complement Zebra’s printing and RFID products. Its products include rugged and enterprise-grade mobile computers, 
barcode scanners and RFID readers, WLAN solutions, and accessories, software, and services that are associated with 
these products. Enterprise service revenues include sales arising from maintenance, repair, product support, system 
installation and integration services, and other services.

The Acquisition expanded Zebra’s product lines with complementary products that together are employed by 
customers to obtain greater visibility and insights into their operations. It enables us to deliver end-to-end solutions 
supporting the IoT in targeted industries. We believe that the expanded capabilities of the combined company make 
Zebra a more valued strategic supplier to end-users, as well as a more important supplier of products and solutions 
to our channel partners.

Similar  to  Zebra’s  business  prior  to  the  Acquisition,  Enterprise’s  products  and  services  are  sold  to  a  wide 
range  of  enterprise  customers  globally,  including  those  in  the  retail,  transportation  and  logistics,  manufacturing, 
healthcare, hospitality, warehouse and distribution, energy and utilities, and education industries.

Zebra funded the Acquisition through a combination of cash on hand of $250 million, the sale of 7.25% senior 
notes due 2022 in an aggregate principal amount of $1.05 billion (the “Senior Notes”), and a new credit agreement 
with various lenders that provided a term loan of $2.2 billion (the “Term Loan”) due 2021. The new credit agreement 
also included a $250 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and, together with the Senior 
Notes and the Term Loan, the “(Debt Agreements”).

INTEGRATION OF ENTERPRISE BUSINESS

Since closing the Acquisition in October 2014, integration activities by the Company have focused on creating 
“One Zebra” by integrating the operations of Enterprise with Legacy Zebra to create a single business with common 
sales,  marketing,  finance,  supply  chain,  information  technology  (“IT”),  and  other  functions.  Our  priorities  have 
centered  on  maintaining  business  continuity  while  identifying  and  implementing  cost  synergies  and  integrating 
functional organizations and processes. Another key focus of the integration has been to conclude MSI-provided 
transition service agreements (“TSA”) related primarily to IT support services. These TSAs are an interim measure 
to facilitate the integration of Enterprise and enable us to continue operating Enterprise without disruption. We also 
completed the integration of our sales organization and sales channel. In 2015, we began a legal entity rationalization 
program  and  terminated  29  entities  that  were  either  acquired  in  the  Acquisition  or  legacy  entities  that  Zebra 
owned pre-Acquisition.

During 2015, significant progress was made in the areas of organizational design and culture development, 
including  integrating  all  functional  organizations  across  Zebra  into  a  unified  organizational  structure.  We  also 
completed a global roll out of a new Zebra brand, implemented systems for our sales and engineering teams, and 
consolidated a number of real estate sites.

These efforts resulted in the elimination of a significant number of Enterprise IT applications and closure of a 

significant number of TSAs.

Additional integration work remains to be completed, primarily in the area of IT infrastructure and business 
systems, including implementation of a common enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, as well as systems 
to support our services business and network of channel partners. Until such time that Zebra is able to complete its 
transition to common systems, Legacy Zebra and Enterprise will continue to operate largely on separate systems, 
including separate ERP systems. The IT integration, when completed, will result in a modernized and right-sized IT 
network and streamlined business processes. We expect to make continued progress on the IT integration throughout 
2016, which will include implementation of the initial stages of a phased ERP implementation. Completion of the IT 
integration, including a common ERP system, is expected before the end of 2017 and will enable us to terminate the 
remaining TSAs. We also expect a more efficient and cost effective IT network, improved operational productivity, 
and reduced costs.

ACQUISITIONS (OTHER THAN THE ACQUISITION OF THE ENTERPRISE BUSINESS)

Hart Systems Acquisition

In December 2013, Zebra acquired Hart Systems LLC, a leading provider of self-directed physical inventory 
management solutions to the retail industry. Hart has distinguished itself in the market by offering retailers a high 
return on investment through self-managed inventory solutions. This acquisition enables us to expand our presence 
in the retail market segment by offering additional inventory management services as part of Zebra’s dedicated retail 
solutions. It also adds “a software as a service” offering to Zebra’s product portfolio.

OPERATIONS

Our operations consist of two segments - (1) Enterprise, comprised of our mobile computing, data capture, 
RFID and WLAN products, and services and (2) Legacy Zebra, comprised of barcode and card printing, location 
solutions, supplies, and services.

SALES AND MARKETING

Sales

We sell our products, solutions, and services primarily through distributors (two-tier distribution), value added 
resellers (“VAR”), independent software vendors (“ISVs”), direct marketers, and OEMs. We also sell directly to a 
select  number  of  customers  through  our  direct  sales  force.  Distributors  purchase  our  products  and  sell  to  VARs, 
ISVs  and  others,  thereby  increasing  the  distribution  of  our  products  globally.  VARs,  ISVs,  OEMs,  and  systems 
integrators provide customers with a variety of hardware, accessories, software applications, and services. VARs and 
ISVs typically customize solutions for specific end-user applications using their industry, systems, and applications 
expertise. Some OEMs resell the Zebra-manufactured products under their own brands as part of their own product 
offering.  Because  these  sales  channels  provide  specific  software,  configuration,  installation,  integration,  and 
support services to end-users within various industry segments, these relationships are highly valued by end-users 
and allow us to reach customers in a wide array of industries around the world. We believe that the breadth of our 
distributor and partner network enhances our ability to compete and to effectively offer our solutions to a wide array 
of end-users globally. Finally, we experience some seasonality in sales, depending upon the geographic region and 
industry served.

Marketing

Our marketing function aligns closely with sales and product management functions to market our products and 
to deliver and promote solutions that address the needs of our customers and partners. Our marketing organization 
includes  global  corporate  marketing,  solutions  marketing,  field  marketing,  business  intelligence,  demand  center, 
and channel marketing functions. Our corporate marketing function manages the Zebra brand, public and industry 
relations,  and  other  communications  activities.  Regional  marketing  encompasses  field  and  channel  marketing, 
demand generation, and sales enablement. Solutions marketing includes product and industry marketing. Business 
intelligence provides fact-based insights into our markets, competitors, customers, and partners. Our global demand 
center leads content development and digital marketing, including our website and social media. The global channel 
team develops and executes channel strategy and operations.

of accessories further tailors mobile computers to meet a wide variety of enterprise needs. Zebra mobile computers 
are offered with software tools and services that support application development, device configuration, and field 
support to facilitate smooth and rapid deployment and ensure maximum customer return on investment.

Data Capture and RFID

Zebra’s  data  capture  products  allow  businesses  to  track  business  critical  information  simply,  quickly,  and 
accurately - providing critical visibility into  business  processes  and performance, thus, enabling real-time action 
in  response  to  the  information.  These  products  include  barcode  scanners  in  a  variety  of  form  factors,  including 
handheld  scanners  and  standalone  modules  designed  for  integration  into  third-party  OEM  devices.  These 
scanners incorporate a variety of technologies including area imagers, linear imagers, lasers and read linear and 
two-dimensional barcodes. They are used in a broad range of applications, ranging from supermarket checkout to 
industrial  warehouse  optimization  to  patient  management  in  hospitals.  The  design  of  these  products  reflects  the 
diverse needs of these markets, with different ergonomics, multiple communication protocols, and varying levels 
of ruggedness. Our RFID readers use passive Ultra High Frequency (“UHF”) to provide high speed, non-line of 
sight data capture, reading data from hundreds or thousands of RFID tags in near real-time. Using the Electronic 
Product Code (“EPC”) standard, our customers take advantage of RFID technology across multiple industries to 
track high-value assets, monitor shipments, and drive increased retail sales though improved inventory accuracy.

WLAN

Zebra’s WLAN products provide the wireless backbone throughout an enterprise. Built upon industry standard 
wi-fi  protocols,  our  products  are  differentiated  by  scalability,  enhanced  capacity  controls,  site  survivability, 
comprehensive  security  and  location-based  services  for  enterprises.  Zebra’s  WiNG  5  technology  enables 
geographically distributed enterprises to rapidly deploy controller-less WLAN solutions at multiple branch locations 
for corporate and guest access, all managed centrally. Integrated network, RF management, and application services 
allow  an  enterprise  to  prioritize  mission  critical  or  latency  sensitive  traffic  like  voice  and  video,  and  provide 
proactive assurance for the wireless network. Network security utilizes a comprehensive threat library to protect the 
network from a broad spectrum of intruders. Device management protocols allow a single network infrastructure 
to  onboard  mobile  users,  campus  and  remote  employees,  authorized  visitors,  as  well  as  guest  users  with  their 
own devices.

Barcode and Card Printing

All Zebra printers and print engines incorporate thermal printing and RFID tag encoding technology. Thermal 
printing technology creates an image by heating certain pixels of an electrical printhead to selectively image a ribbon 
or  heat-sensitive  substrate.  Thermal  printing  benefits  applications  requiring  simple  and  reliable  operations,  yet  it 
is  flexible  enough  to  support  a  wide  range  of  specialty  label  materials  and  associated  inks.  Our  dye-sublimation 
thermal card printers produce full-color, photographic quality images that are well-suited for driver’s licenses, access 
and identification cards, transaction cards, and on-demand photographs. Many of our printers also incorporate RFID 
technology that can encode data into passive RFID transponders embedded in a label or card.

Zebra’s  printers  integrate  company-designed  mechanisms,  electrical  systems,  and  firmware.  Enclosures  of 
metal or high-impact plastic ensure the durability of our printers. Special mechanisms optimize handling of labels, 
ribbons, and plastic cards. Fast, high-current electrical systems provide consistent image quality. Firmware supports 
serial, parallel, Ethernet, USB, Bluetooth, or 802.11 wireless communications with appropriate security protocols. 
Printing instructions can be received as a proprietary language such as Zebra Programming Language II (“ZPL II®”), 
as a print driver-provided image, or as user-defined XML. These features make our printers easy to integrate into 
virtually all common computer systems.

Location Solutions

Our RTLS solutions use active and passive RFID technologies, beacons, and other tracking technologies to 
locate, track, manage, and optimize high-value assets, equipment, and people. We offer a range of scalable RTLS 
technologies  that  generate  precise,  on-demand  information  about  the  physical  location  and  status  of  high-valued 
assets. Customers benefit by utilizing the choice or combination of asset tracking products that can be “application 
matched” based on ISO/IEC 24730-2, Cisco CCX Wi-Fi, precision GPS, and ultra-wideband (“UWB”) technologies. 
In addition, we offer a selection of RTLS infrastructure products that receive tag transmissions and provide location 
and motion calculations, database and system management functions and asset visibility. The flexible infrastructure 
supports large tag populations and coverage areas that range from small to large.

Supplies

Zebra’s supplies business includes thermal labels, receipts, ribbons, plastic cards and wristbands suitable for use 
with Zebra’s printers, and also wristbands which can be imaged in most commercial laser printers. Our wristbands 
incorporate  multi-layer  form  technology  to  ensure  trouble-free  printing,  wearer  comfort,  and  reliable  barcode 
reading, even when exposed to harsh chemical environments. Zebra offers many thermal label, card, and receipt 
materials, and matching ribbons for diverse applications that may require meeting unique or precise specifications, 
including chemical or abrasion resistance, temperature extremes, exceptional image quality, or long life.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Zebra relies on a combination of trade secrets, patents, trademarks, copyrights, and contractual rights to establish 
and protect its innovations, and holds a large portfolio of intellectual property rights in the United States and other 
countries. As of December 31, 2015, Zebra and its wholly-owned subsidiaries owned approximately 900 trademark 
registrations, 680 trademark applications, 3,600 patents, and 950 patent applications, worldwide. Zebra continues to 
actively seek to obtain patents and trademarks, whenever possible and practical, to secure intellectual property rights 
in its innovations.

We believe that our intellectual property will continue to provide us with a competitive advantage in our core 
product areas as well as provide leverage for future technologies. We also believe that we are not dependent upon any 
single patent or select group of patents. Our success depends more upon our extensive know-how, innovative culture, 
technical leadership and marketing and sales abilities. Although we do not rely only on patents or other intellectual 
property rights to protect or establish our market position, we will enforce our intellectual property rights when and 
where appropriate.

EMPLOYEES

As of January 31, 2016, Zebra employed approximately 7,000 persons, of which 670 were corporate employees. 
Some portions of our business, primarily in Europe and China, are subject to labor laws that differ significantly from 
those in the United States. In Europe, for example, it is common for a works council to represent employees when 
discussing matters such as compensation, benefits, restructurings and layoffs. We consider our relations with our 
employees to be very good.

REGULATORY MATTERS

Wireless Regulatory Matters

Our business is subject to certain wireless regulatory matters.

The use of wireless voice, data, and video communications systems requires radio spectrum, which is regulated 
by government agencies throughout the world. In the U.S., the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) and 
the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (“NTIA”) regulate spectrum use by non-federal 
entities and federal entities, respectively. Similarly, countries around the world have one or more regulatory bodies 
that define and implement the rules for use of the radio spectrum, pursuant to their respective national laws and 
international coordination under the International Telecommunications Union. We manufacture and market products 
in spectrum bands already made available by regulatory bodies- these include voice and data infrastructure, mobile 
radios, and portable or hand held devices. Consequently, our results of operations could be positively or negatively 
affected by the rules and regulations adopted from time-to-time by the FCC, NTIA, or regulatory agencies in other 
countries.  Our  products  operate  both  on  licensed  and  unlicensed  spectrum.  The  availability  of  additional  radio 
spectrum may provide new business opportunities, and consequently, the loss of available radio spectrum may result 
in the loss of business opportunities. Regulatory changes in current spectrum bands may also provide opportunities 
or may require modifications to some products so they can continue to be manufactured and marketed.

Other Regulatory Matters

Some  of  our  operations  use  substances  regulated  under  various  federal,  state,  local,  and  international  laws 
governing  the  environment  and  worker  health  and  safety,  including  those  governing  the  discharge  of  pollutants 
into the ground, air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes and the cleanup 
of contaminated sites. Certain products are subject to various federal, state, local, and international laws governing 
chemical substances in electronic products. During 2015, compliance with U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign 
laws  regulating  the  discharge  of  materials  into  the  environment,  or  otherwise  relating  to  the  protection  of  the 
environment did not have a material effect on our business or results of operations.

CONTACT INFORMATION

Zebra  Technologies  is  a  Delaware  corporation.  Our  principal  offices  are  located  at  3  Overlook  Point, 
Lincolnshire, Illinois 60069. Our main telephone number is +1 (847) 634-6700, and our primary Internet Web site

Zebra may not be able to continue to develop products  or solutions to address user needs effectively in an 
industry characterized by ongoing change

To  be  successful,  Zebra  must  adapt  to  rapidly  changing  technological  and  application  needs  by  continually 

improving its products, as well as introducing new products and services, to address user demands.

Evolving industry standards,

Evolving distribution channels,

Frequent new product and service introductions,

Zebra’s industry is characterized by:
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
Future success will depend on Zebra’s ability to effectively and economically adapt in this evolving environment. 
Zebra could incur substantial costs if it has to modify its business to adapt to these changes, and may even be unable 
to adapt to these changes.

Increasing demand for customized product and software solutions,

Changing customer demands, and

Changing security protocols.

Zebra participates in a competitive industry, which may become more competitive. Competitors may be able 
to respond more quickly to new or emerging technology and changes in customer requirements

Zebra  faces  significant  competition  in  developing  and  selling  its  products  and  solutions.  Some  competitors 
have substantial marketing, financial, development, and personnel resources. To remain competitive, Zebra believes 
it must continue to effectively and economically provide:

Superior customer service,

Technologically advanced systems that satisfy user demands,

• 
• 
•  High levels of quality and reliability, and
•  Dependable and efficient distribution networks.
Zebra cannot assure it will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors. Increased 
competition  in  mobile  computing  products,  data  capture  products,  printers,  WLAN  products  and  solutions,  or 
supplies  may  result  in  price  reductions,  lower  gross  profit  margins,  and  loss  of  market  share,  and  could  require 
increased  spending  on  research  and  development,  sales  and  marketing,  and  customer  support.  Some  competitors 
may  make  strategic  acquisitions  or  establish  cooperative  relationships  with  suppliers  or  companies  that  produce 
complementary products, which may create additional pressures on Zebra’s competitive position in the marketplace.

Zebra is vulnerable to the potential difficulties associated with the increase in the complexity of its business

 Zebra has grown rapidly over the last several years through the Acquisition and worldwide growth. This growth 
has caused increased complexities in the business. We believe our future success depends in part on our ability to 
manage  our  growth  and  increased  complexities  of  our  business.  The  following  factors  could  present  difficulties 
to Zebra:

•  Managing our distribution channel partners;
•  Managing our contract manufacturing and supply chain;
•  Manufacturing an increased number of products;
• 
Increased administrative and operational burden;
•  Maintaining and improving information technology infrastructure to support growth;
• 
Increased logistical problems common to complex, expansive operations; and
• 

Increasing international operations.

Inability to consummate future acquisitions at appropriate prices could negatively impact our growth rate 
and stock price

Zebra’s  ability  to  grow  revenues,  earnings  and  cash  flow  depends  in  part  upon  our  ability  to  identify  and 
successfully acquire and integrate businesses at appropriate prices and to realize anticipated synergies. Acquisitions 
can be difficult to identify and consummate due to competition among prospective buyers and the need to satisfy 
applicable closing conditions and obtain antitrust and other regulatory approval on acceptable terms.

Zebra  could  encounter  difficulties  in  any  acquisition  it  undertakes,  including  unanticipated  integration 
problems  and  business  disruption.  Acquisitions  could  also  dilute  stockholder  value  and  adversely  affect 
operating results

Zebra may acquire or make investments in other businesses, technologies, services, or products. An acquisition 
may present business issues which are new to Zebra. The process of integrating any acquired business, technology, 
service, or product into our operations may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. Integration 
of an acquired company also may consume considerable management time and attention, which could otherwise be 
available for ongoing operations and the further development of our existing business. These and other factors may 
result in benefits of an acquisition not being fully realized.

Acquisitions also may involve a number of risks, including:
•  Difficulties  and  uncertainties  in  retaining  the  customers  or  other  business  relationships  from  the 

acquired entities;

• 
• 
• 
• 

• 

• 

The loss of key employees of acquired entities;

The ability of acquired entities to fulfill their customers’ obligations;

The discovery of unanticipated issues or liabilities;

Pre-closing  and  post-closing  acquisition-related  earnings  charges  could  adversely  impact  operating 
results and cash flows in any given period, and the impact may be substantially different from period 
to period;

The failure of acquired entities to meet or exceed expected returns could result in impairment of goodwill 
or intangible assets acquired; and

The  acquired  entities’  ability  to  implement  internal  controls  and  accounting  systems  necessary  to  be 
compliant with requirements applicable to public companies subject to SEC reporting, which could result 
in misstated financial reports. 

Future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt 

and contingent liabilities.

Infringement by Zebra or Zebra suppliers on the proprietary rights of others could put Zebra at a competitive 
disadvantage, and any related litigation could be time consuming and costly

Third parties may claim that Zebra or Zebra’s suppliers violated their intellectual property rights. To the extent 
of a violation of a third-party’s patent or other intellectual property right, Zebra may be prevented from operating its 
business as planned and may be required to pay damages, to obtain a license, if available, or to use a non-infringing 
method, if possible, to accomplish its objectives. Any of these claims, with or without merit, could result in costly 
litigation and divert the attention of key personnel. If such claims are successful, they could result in costly judgments 
or settlements. Also, as new technologies emerge the intellectual property rights of parties in such technologies can be 
uncertain. As a result, Zebra’s products involving such technologies may have higher risk of claims of infringement 
of the intellectual proprietary rights of third parties.

The inability to protect intellectual property could harm Zebra’s reputation, and its competitive position may 
be materially damaged

Zebra’s  intellectual  property  is  valuable  and  provides  Zebra  with  certain  competitive  advantages.  Zebra 
uses copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and contracts to protect these proprietary rights. Despite these 
precautions, third parties may be able to copy or reproduce aspects of Zebra’s intellectual property and its products or, 
without authorization, to misappropriate and use information, which Zebra regards as its trade secrets. Additionally, 
the intellectual property rights Zebra obtains may not be sufficient to provide it with a competitive advantage and 
may be successfully challenged, invalidated, circumvented, or infringed. In any infringement litigation that Zebra 
may undertake to protect its intellectual property, any award of monetary damages may be unlikely or very difficult 
to obtain, and any such award Zebra may receive may not be commercially valuable. Furthermore, efforts to enforce 
or  protect  Zebra’s  proprietary  rights  may  be  ineffective  and  could  result  in  the  invalidation  or  narrowing  of  the 
scope of Zebra’s intellectual property and incurring substantial litigation costs. Because of the substantial amount of 
discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of Zebra’s confidential 
information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. Some aspects of Zebra’s business and 
services also rely on technologies, software, and content developed by or licensed from third parties, and Zebra may 
not be able to maintain its relationships with such third parties or enter into similar relationships in the future on 
reasonable terms or at all.

We currently use third party and/or open source operating systems and associated application ecosystems in 
certain of our products. Such parties ceasing continued development of the operating system or restricting our 
access to such operating system could adversely impact our business and financial results

We currently use third-party and/or open source operating systems and associated application ecosystems in 
certain of our products. As a result, we are dependent on third-parties’ continued development of operating systems, 
software  application  ecosystem  infrastructures,  and  such  third-parties’  approval  of  our  implementations  of  their 
operating  system  and  associated  applications.  If  such  parties  cease  to  continue  development  or  support  of  such 
operating systems or restrict our access to such operating systems, we would be required to change our strategy for 
such devices. As a result, our financial results could be negatively impacted because a resulting shift away from 
the operating systems we currently use and the associated applications ecosystem could be costly and difficult. A 
strategy shift could increase the burden of development on Zebra and potentially create a gap in our portfolio for a 
period of time, which could competitively disadvantage Zebra.

Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt business operations

Like many companies, Zebra continually strives to meet industry information security standards relevant to 
our business. We regularly perform vulnerability assessments, remediate vulnerabilities, review log/access, perform 
system maintenance, manage network perimeter protection, and implement and manage disaster recovery testing. 
A cybersecurity incident could include an attempt to gain unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of 
misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. “Phishing” and 
other types of attempts to obtain unauthorized information or access are often sophisticated and difficult to detect 
or defeat.

A  cybersecurity  incident,  including  deliberate  attacks  and  unintentional  events,  may  lead  to  a  material 
disruption of our core business systems, to the loss or corruption of confidential business information and/or to the 
disclosure of personal data that in each case could result in an adverse business impact, as well as, possible damage 
to the Zebra brand. This could also lead to a public disclosure or theft of private intellectual property and a possible 
loss of customer confidence.

While we have experienced and expect to continue to experience these types of threats and incidents, there 
have been no material incidents incurred to-date at Zebra. If Zebra’s core business operations, or that of one of our 
third-party service providers, were to be breached, this could affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability 
of our systems and data. While we continue to perform security due diligence, there is always the possibility of a 
significant breach affecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems and/or data.

Zebra products that are deployed in customer environments also have the possibility of being breached, which 
could result in damage to a customer’s confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the customer’s data and systems. 
It  is  possible  that  such  a  breach  could  result  in  delays  in,  or  loss  of  market  acceptance  of,  Zebra’s  products  and 
services; diversion of our resources; injury to our reputation; increased service and warranty expenses; and payment 
of damages.

Zebra  may  incur  liabilities  as  a  result  of  product  failures  due  to  actual  or  apparent  design  or 
manufacturing defects

Zebra may be subject to product liability claims, which could include claims for property or economic damage 
or personal injury, in the event our products present actual or apparent design or manufacturing defects. Such design 
or manufacturing defects may occur not only in Zebra’s own designed products but also in components provided by 
third party suppliers. Zebra generally has insurance protection against property damage and personal injury liabilities 
and also seeks to limit such risk through product design, manufacturing quality control processes, product testing 
and  contractual  indemnification  from  suppliers.  However,  due  to  the  large  and  growing  size  of  Zebra’s  installed 
product base, a design or manufacturing defect involving this large installed product base could result in product 
recalls or customer service costs that could have material adverse effects on Zebra’s financial results.

Defects or errors in Zebra’s software products could harm its reputation, result in significant cost to Zebra, 
and impair Zebra’s ability to market such products

Zebra’s software may contain undetected errors, defects, or bugs. Although Zebra has not suffered significant 
harm from any errors, defects, or bugs to date, we may discover significant errors, defects, or bugs in the future that 
we may not be able to correct or correct in a timely manner. It is possible that errors, defects, or bugs will be found 
in Zebra’s existing or future software products and related services with the possible results of delays in, or loss of 
market acceptance of, Zebra’s products and services, diversion of our resources, injury to our reputation, increased 
service and warranty expenses, and payment of damages.

Zebra  depends  on  the  ongoing  services  of  its  senior  management  and  its  ability  to  attract  and  retain 
key personnel

The future success of Zebra is substantially dependent on the continued services and continuing contributions 
of senior management and other key personnel. The ability to attract, retain, and motivate highly skilled employees is 
important to Zebra’s long-term success. Competition for skill sets in certain functions within our industry is intense, 
and Zebra may be unable to retain key employees or attract, assimilate, or retain other highly qualified employees in 
the future. Any disruption in the services of senior management or our ability to attract and retain key personnel may 
have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Terrorist attacks or war could lead to further economic instability and adversely affect Zebra’s stock price, 
operations, and profitability

The  terrorist  attacks  that  occurred  in  the  United  States  on  September  11,  2001  caused  major  instability  in 
the U.S. and other financial markets. Since then, a number of significant acts of terrorism have occurred, and war 
continues  in  the  Middle  East,  all  of  which  may  contribute  to  instability  in  financial  markets.  Additional  acts  of 
terrorism and current and future war risks could have a similar impact. Any such attacks could, among other things, 
cause further instability in financial markets and could directly, or indirectly through reduced demand, negatively 
affect Zebra’s facilities and operations or those of its customers or suppliers.

Taxing authority challenges may lead to tax payments exceeding current reserves

Zebra is subject to, and may become subject to, ongoing tax examinations in various jurisdictions. As a result, 
we may record incremental tax expense based on expected outcomes of such matters. In addition, we may adjust 
previously reported tax reserves based on expected results of these examinations. Such adjustments could result in 
an increase or decrease to Zebra’s effective tax rate and cash flows. Future changes in tax law in various jurisdictions 
around the world and income tax holidays could have a material impact on Zebra’s effective tax rate, foreign rate 
differential, future income tax expense, and cash flows.

Forecasting our estimated annual effective tax rate is complex and subject to uncertainty, and there may be 
material differences between our forecasted and actual tax rates

Forecasts of our income tax position and effective tax rate are complex, subject to uncertainty and periodic 
updates because our income tax position for each year combines the effects of a mix of profits earned and losses 
incurred by us in various tax jurisdictions with a broad range of income tax rates, as well as changes in the valuation 
of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the impact of various accounting rules and changes to these rules and tax laws, 
the results of examinations by various tax authorities, and the impact of any acquisition, business combination or 
other reorganization, or financing transaction.

As a multinational corporation, we conduct our business in many countries and are subject to taxation in many 
jurisdictions. The taxation of our business is subject to the application of multiple and sometimes conflicting tax laws 
and regulations, as well as multinational tax conventions. The European Union and countries within the European 
Union are contemplating changes to their respective tax laws based on the recent reports issued by the Organization 
for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)/G20 Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) Project, which, 
if enacted, could materially impact our tax liability due to our organizational structure and significant operations 
within Europe. Our effective tax rate is highly dependent upon the geographic distribution of our worldwide earnings 
or losses resulting from our structure and operating model, the tax regulations and tax holidays in each geographic 
region, and the availability of tax credits and carry-forwards. The application of tax laws and regulations is subject 
to legal and factual interpretation, judgment, and uncertainty. Tax laws themselves are subject to change as a result 
of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, and the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Consequently, 
taxing authorities may impose tax assessments or judgments against us that could materially impact our tax liability 
and/or our effective income tax rate.

Economic conditions and financial market disruptions may adversely affect Zebra’s business and results of 
operations. Adverse economic conditions or reduced information technology spending may adversely impact 
our business

General disruption of financial markets, similar to the disruption in financial markets from 2008 through 2009, 
and a related general economic downturn could adversely affect Zebra’s business and financial condition through 
a  reduction  in  demand  for  our  products  by  our  customers.  If  a  slowdown  were  severe  enough,  it  could  require 
further  impairment  testing  and  write-downs  of  goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets.  Cost  reduction  actions  may 
be necessary and might lead to restructuring charges. A tightening of financial credit could adversely affect our 
customers, suppliers, outsourced manufacturers, and channel partners (e.g., distributors and resellers) from obtaining 
adequate credit for the financing of significant purchases. Another economic downturn could also result in a decrease 
in or cancellation of orders for Zebra’s products and services; negatively impact Zebra’s ability to collect its accounts 
receivable on a timely basis; result in additional reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable; and require additional 
reserves for inventory obsolescence. Higher volatility and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for the U.S. dollar 
against currencies such as the euro, the British pound, the Chinese yuan, and the Brazilian real could negatively 
impact product sales, margins, and cash flows.

A  natural  disaster  may  cause  supply  disruptions  that  could  adversely  affect  Zebra’s  business  and 
results of operations

Natural disasters, similar to the earthquake that struck Japan in March 2011, may occur in the future, and Zebra 
is not able to predict to what extent or duration any such disruptions will have on our ability to maintain ordinary 
business  operations.  The  consequences  of  an  unfortunate  natural  disaster  may  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on 
Zebra’s business and results of operations.

Zebra  is  exposed  to  risks  under  large,  multi-year  system  and  solutions  and  services  contracts  that  may 
negatively impact its business

Zebra enters into large, multi-year system and solutions and services contracts with our customers. This exposes 
Zebra to risks, including among others: (i) technological risks, especially when the contracts involve new technology; 
(ii) financial risks, including the estimates inherent in projecting costs associated with large, long-term contracts and 
the related impact on operating results; and (iii) cyber security risk, especially in managed services contracts with

customers that process personal data. Recovery of front loaded capital expenditures in long-term managed services 
contracts with customers is dependent on the continued viability of such customers. The insolvency of customers 
could  result  in  a  loss  of  anticipated  future  revenue  attributable  to  that  program  or  product,  which  could  have  an 
adverse impact on Zebra’s profitability.

Zebra  enters  into  fixed-price  contracts  that  could  subject  it  to  losses  in  the  event  Zebra  fails  to  properly 
estimate its costs

Zebra enters into a number of firm fixed-price contracts. If Zebra’s initial cost estimates are incorrect, Zebra 
can  lose  money  on  these  contracts.  Because  many  of  these  contracts  involve  new  technologies  and  applications 
and require Zebra to engage subcontractors and can last multiple years, unforeseen events, such as technological 
difficulties, fluctuations in the price of raw materials, problems with Zebra’s subcontractors or suppliers and other 
cost overruns, can result in the contract pricing becoming less favorable or even unprofitable to Zebra and have an 
adverse impact on Zebra’s financial results. In addition, a significant increase in inflation rates could have an adverse 
impact on the profitability of longer-term contracts.

Zebra utilizes the services of subcontractors to perform under many of its contracts and the inability of its 
subcontractors to perform in a timely and compliant manner could negatively impact Zebra’s performance 
obligations as the prime contractor

Zebra engages subcontractors on many of its contracts and as Zebra expands its global solutions and services 
business,  Zebra’s  use  of  subcontractors  has  and  will  continue  to  increase.  Zebra’s  subcontractors  may  further 
subcontract  performance  and  may  supply  third-party  products  and  software.  Zebra  may  have  disputes  with  its 
subcontractors, including disputes regarding the quality and timeliness of work performed by the subcontractor or its 
subcontractors and the functionality, warranty and indemnities of products, software, and services supplied by Zebra’s 
subcontractor. Zebra is not always successful in passing along customer requirements to its subcontractors, and thus 
in some cases may be required to absorb contractual risks from its customers without corresponding back-to-back 
coverage from Zebra’s subcontractor. Zebra’s subcontractors may not be able to acquire or maintain the quality of the 
materials, components, subsystems and services they supply, or secure preferred warranty and indemnity coverage 
from their suppliers which might result in greater product returns, service problems, warranty claims and costs and 
regulatory compliance issues and could harm Zebra’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Over  the  last  several  years  we  have  outsourced  portions  of  certain  business  operations  such  as  repair, 
distribution,  and  engineering  services  and  may  outsource  additional  business  operations,  which  limits  our 
control  over  these  business  operations  and  exposes  us  to  additional  risk  as  a  result  of  the  actions  of  our 
outsource partners

As  we  outsource  more  of  our  business  operations,  we  are  not  able  to  directly  control  these  activities.  Our 
outsource partners may not prioritize our business over that of their other customers and they may not meet our 
desired level of service, cost reductions, or other metrics. In some cases their actions may result in our being found 
to be in violation of laws or regulations like import or export regulations. As many of our outsource partners operate 
outside  of  the  U.S.,  our  outsourcing  activity  exposes  us  to  information  security  vulnerabilities  and  increases  our 
global risks. In addition, we are exposed to the financial viability of our outsource partners. Once a business activity 
is outsourced, we may be contractually prohibited from, or may not practically be able to, bring such activity back 
within the Company or move it to another outsource partner. The actions of our outsource partners could result in 
reputational damage to us and could negatively impact our financial results.

Failure of Zebra’s suppliers, subcontractors, distributors, resellers, and representatives to use acceptable legal 
or ethical business practices could negatively impact our business

It  is  Zebra’s  policy  to  require  its  suppliers,  subcontractors,  distributors,  resellers,  and  third-party  sales 
representatives (“TPSRs”) to operate in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations regarding working 
conditions,  employment  practices,  environmental  compliance,  anti-corruption,  and  trademark  and  copyright 
licensing.  However,  Zebra  does  not  control  their  labor  and  other  business  practices.  If  one  of  Zebra’s  suppliers, 
subcontractors, distributors, resellers, or TPSRs violates labor or other laws or implements labor or other business 
practices that are regarded as unethical, the shipment of finished products to Zebra could be interrupted, orders could

be canceled, relationships could be terminated, and Zebra’s reputation could be damaged. If one of Zebra’s suppliers 
or subcontractors fails to procure necessary license rights to trademarks, copyrights, or patents, legal action could be 
taken against Zebra that could impact the saleability of Zebra’s products and expose Zebra to financial obligations to 
a third-party. Any of these events could have a negative impact on Zebra’s sales and results of operations.

Zebra relies on third-party dealers, distributors, and resellers to sell many of its products

In  addition  to  Zebra’s  own  sales  force,  Zebra  offers  its  products  through  a  variety  of  third-party  dealers, 
distributors, and resellers. These third-parties may also market other products that compete with Zebra’s products. 
Failure  of  one  or  more  of  Zebra’s  dealers,  distributors,  or  resellers  to  effectively  promote  Zebra’s  products  could 
affect  our  ability  to  bring  products  to  market  and  have  a  negative  impact  on  our  results  of  operations.  As  Zebra 
implements a new channel program that covers both Legacy Zebra and Enterprise products, some of our third-party 
dealers, distributors, or resellers may decide not to migrate to the new channel program, thereby reducing our ability 
to bring products to market and have a negative impact on our results of operations.

Some of these third-parties are smaller and more likely to be impacted by a significant decrease in available 
credit that could result from a weakness in the financial markets. If credit pressures or other financial difficulties 
result  in  insolvency  for  third-party  dealers,  distributors,  or  retailers  and  we  are  unable  to  successfully  transition 
end-customers to purchase our products from other third-parties or from Zebra directly, it may cause, and in some 
cases has caused, a negative impact on our financial results.

Final assembly of certain Zebra products is performed by third-party electronics manufacturers. Zebra may 
be dependent on these third-party electronics manufacturers as a sole-source of supply for the manufacture 
of  such  products.  A  failure  by  such  manufacturers  to  provide  manufacturing  services  to  Zebra  as  Zebra 
requires,  or  any  disruption  in  such  manufacturing  services,  may  adversely  affect  Zebra’s  business  results. 
Because Zebra relies on these third-party electronics manufacturers to manufacture its products, Zebra may 
incur increased business continuity risks

Zebra is not able to exercise direct control over the assembly or related operations of certain of its products. 
If  these  third  party  manufacturers  experience  business  difficulties  or  fail  to  meet  Zebra’s  manufacturing  needs, 
then  Zebra  may  be  unable  to  satisfy  customer  product  demands,  lose  sales,  and  be  unable  to  maintain  customer 
relationships. Longer production lead times may result in shortages of certain products and inadequate inventories 
during  periods  of  unanticipated  higher  demand.  Without  such  third  parties  continuing  to  manufacture  Zebra’s 
products, Zebra may have no other means of final assembly of certain of its products until Zebra is able to secure the 
manufacturing capability at another facility or develop an alternative manufacturing facility. This transition could 
be costly and time consuming.

Although Zebra carries business interruption insurance to cover lost sales and profits in an amount it considers 
adequate,  in  the  event  of  supply  disruption,  this  insurance  does  not  cover  all  possible  situations.  In  addition,  the 
business interruption insurance would not compensate Zebra for the loss of opportunity and potential adverse impact, 
both short-term and long-term, on relations with our existing customers going forward.

Zebra’s future operating results depend on its ability to purchase a sufficient amount of materials, parts, and 
components, as well as services and software to meet the demands of customers. Zebra sources some of its 
components from sole source suppliers. Any disruption to its suppliers or significant increase in the price of 
supplies could have a negative impact on its results of operations

Zebra’s ability to meet customers’ demands depends, in part, on its ability to obtain in a timely manner an 
adequate delivery of quality materials, parts, and components, as well as services and software from its suppliers. 
In addition, certain supplies are available only from a single source or limited sources and Zebra may not be able 
to  diversify  sources  in  a  timely  manner.  If  demand  for  Zebra’s  products  or  services  increases  from  its  current 
expectations or if suppliers are unable to meet Zebra’s demand for other reasons, including as a result of natural 
disasters or financial issues, Zebra could experience an interruption in supplies or a significant increase in the price 
of supplies that could have a negative impact on its business. Zebra has experienced shortages in the past that have 
negatively impacted its results of operations and may experience such shortages in the future. In addition, credit 
constraints at Zebra’s suppliers could cause Zebra to accelerate payment of accounts payable by Zebra, impacting 
Zebra’s cash flow.

In addition, Zebra’s current contractual with certain suppliers may be canceled or not extended by such suppliers 
and, therefore, not afford Zebra with sufficient protection against a reduction or interruption in supplies. Moreover, 
in the event any of these suppliers breach their contracts with Zebra, Zebra’s legal remedies associated with such a 
breach may be insufficient to compensate Zebra for any damages it may suffer.

The unfavorable outcome of any pending or future litigation, arbitration, or administrative action could have 
a material adverse effect on Zebra’s financial condition or results of operations

From time to time Zebra is made a party to litigation, arbitration, or administrative actions. Zebra’s financial 
results and reputation could be negatively impacted by unfavorable outcomes to any pending or future litigation or 
administrative actions, including those related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, or other 
anti-corruption  laws.  There  can  be  no  assurances  as  to  the  favorable  outcome  of  any  litigation  or  administrative 
proceedings. In addition, it can be very costly to defend litigation or administrative proceedings and these costs could 
negatively impact Zebra’s financial results.

It is important that Zebra is able to obtain many different types of insurance, and if Zebra is not able to obtain 
insurance or exhausts its coverage Zebra may be forced to retain the risk

Zebra has many types of insurance coverage and is also self-insured for some risks and obligations. While 
the cost and availability of most insurance is stable, there are still certain types and levels of insurance that remain 
difficult to obtain, such as professional liability insurance, which is expensive to obtain for the amount of coverage 
often requested by certain customers. As Zebra grows its global solutions and services business, Zebra is being asked 
to obtain higher amounts of professional liability insurance, which could result in higher costs to do business. Natural 
disasters  and  certain  risks  arising  from  securities  claims,  professional  liability,  and  public  liability  are  potential 
self-insured  events  that  could  negatively  impact  Zebra’s  financial  results.  In  addition,  while  Zebra  maintains 
insurance for certain risks, the amount of its insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all claims or liabilities, 
and Zebra may be forced to bear substantial costs from an accident, incident, or claim.

Zebra  is  subject  to  a  wide  range  of  product  regulatory  and  safety,  consumer,  worker  safety,  and 
environmental laws

Zebra’s operations and the products it manufactures and/or sells are subject to a wide range of product regulatory 
and  safety,  consumer,  worker  safety,  and  environmental  laws  and  regulations.  Compliance  with  such  existing  or 
future  laws  and  regulations  could  subject  Zebra  to  future  costs  or  liabilities,  impact  its  production  capabilities, 
constrict  its  ability  to  sell,  expand  or  acquire  facilities,  restrict  what  products  and  services  Zebra  can  offer,  and 
generally impact its financial performance. Some of these laws are environmental and relate to the use, disposal, 
remediation, emission and discharge of, and exposure to hazardous substances. These laws often impose liability 
and can require parties to fund remedial studies or actions regardless of fault. Zebra continues to incur disposal costs 
and have ongoing remediation obligations. Environmental laws have tended to become more stringent over time and 
any new obligations under these laws could have a negative impact on Zebra’s operations or financial performance.

Laws  focused  on  the  energy  efficiency  of  electronic  products  and  accessories;  recycling  of  both  electronic 
products  and  packaging;  reducing  or  eliminating  certain  hazardous  substances  in  electronic  products;  and  the 
transportation of batteries continue to expand significantly. Laws pertaining to accessibility features of electronic 
products, standardization of connectors and power supplies, the transportation of lithium-ion batteries, and other 
aspects are also proliferating. There are also demanding and rapidly changing laws around the globe related to issues 
such  as  product  safety,  radio  interference,  radio  frequency  radiation  exposure,  medical  related  functionality,  and 
consumer and social mandates pertaining to use of wireless or electronic equipment. These laws, and changes to 
these laws, could have a substantial impact on whether Zebra can offer certain products, solutions, and services, and 
on what capabilities and characteristics Zebra’s products or services can or must include.

These  laws  impact  Zebra’s  products  and  negatively  affect  Zebra’s  ability  to  manufacture  and  sell  products 
competitively. Zebra expects these trends to continue. In addition, Zebra anticipates that it will see increased demand 
to meet voluntary criteria related to reduction or elimination of certain constituents from products, increasing energy 
efficiency, and providing additional accessibility.

Zebra has identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting which could, if not 
remediated, result in material misstatements in its financial statements

Zebra’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over its financial 
reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. As disclosed in Item 9A 
of  Part  II  of  this  report,  Zebra  identified  in  the  first  quarter  of  2015  a  material  weakness  in  its  internal  control 
over financial reporting related to the process to review and prepare its quarterly income tax provision. A material 
weakness is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, 
such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements 
will  not  be  prevented  or  detected  on  a  timely  basis.  As  a  result  of  this  material  weakness,  Zebra’s  management 
concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the last day of the period covered by 
this report. Zebra is actively engaged in developing a remediation plan designed to address this material weakness. 
If  the  remedial  measures  are  insufficient  to  address  the  material  weakness  or  if  additional  material  weaknesses 
or significant deficiencies in the internal control are discovered or occur in the future, the consolidated financial 
statements may contain material misstatements and Zebra could be required to restate its financial results.

Zebra could be adversely impacted by changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates 
and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters

Generally accepted accounting principles and related accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines, 
and  interpretations  with  regard  to  a  wide  range  of  matters  that  are  relevant  to  our  businesses,  including,  but  not 
limited to, revenue recognition, asset impairment, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, inventories, 
customer rebates and other customer consideration, tax matters, and litigation and other contingent liabilities are 
highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates, and judgments. Changes in these rules or their 
interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates, or judgments could significantly change our reported 
or  expected  financial  performance  or  financial  condition.  New  accounting  guidance  may  also  require  systems 
and  other  changes  that  could  increase  our  operating  costs  and/or  change  our  financial  statements.  For  example, 
implementing future accounting guidance related to revenue and other areas could require us to make significant 
changes to our accounts receivable subledger or other accounting systems, and could result in adverse changes to our 
financial statements.

RISKS RELATED TO THE ACQUISITION AND INTEGRATION OF ENTERPRISE

Zebra may be unable to effectively integrate Enterprise into its existing business

The  integration  of  Enterprise  into  Zebra’s  operations  is  a  significant  undertaking  and  requires  significant 
attention  from  Zebra’s  management.  The  Acquisition,  with  an  approximate  enterprise  value  of  $3.45  billion,  is 
significantly  larger  than  prior  acquisitions  Zebra  has  completed  and  significantly  increased  the  size  of  Zebra’s 
operations, increased its number of employees and operating facilities and expanded its geographic scope. There 
can be no assurance that Zebra will be able to successfully integrate Enterprise, or if such integration is successfully 
accomplished,  that  such  integration  will  not  be  more  costly  than  currently  contemplated.  There  can  also  be  no 
assurance that Zebra can successfully manage the combined business due to Zebra’s greatly increased size and scope. 
If Zebra cannot successfully integrate and manage Enterprise within a reasonable time following the Acquisition, 
Zebra may not be able to realize the potential and anticipated benefits of the Acquisition, which could have a material 
adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows and growth prospects.

Zebra may be unable to realize the expected growth opportunities and cost savings from the Acquisition

In connection with the integration of Enterprise into Zebra’s existing operating structure, Zebra seeks to realize 
growth opportunities, along with cost savings. The anticipated cost savings are based upon assumptions about Zebra’s 
ability to implement integration measures in a timely fashion and within certain cost parameters. Zebra’s ability to 
achieve the planned cost synergies relies upon a number of factors, some of which may be beyond its control. For 
example, Zebra may be unable to eliminate duplicative costs in a timely fashion or at all. Zebra’s inability to realize 
anticipated cost savings, and revenue enhancements from the Acquisition could have a material adverse effect on its 
business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows, and growth prospects.

The Acquisition could divert the attention of management

Zebra entered new lines of business that it lacks experience managing after completing the Acquisition. Similarly, 
because Enterprise is significantly larger than Zebra’s business prior to the Acquisition, Zebra will be required to 
manage new and larger lines of business, and consequently the integration process requires significant attention from 
management, which may divert management’s attention from Zebra’s other businesses. Management may also have 
difficulty  assimilating  the  corporate  cultures,  maintaining  employee  morale  and  retaining  key  employees.  These 
diversions, together with other difficulties Zebra may have in integrating Enterprise, could have a material adverse 
effect on Zebra’s business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows and growth prospects.

Customers  of  Enterprise  or  Legacy  Zebra  may  decide  to  diversify  their  supply  of  products  provided  by 
Enterprise and/or Legacy Zebra by switching to competitors

Some of Zebra’s existing customers may conclude that as a result of the Acquisition they are overly reliant on a 
single provider. In such circumstances, Zebra’s customers may engage its competitors or facilitate the emergence of 
new competitors to diversify sourcing and service options, which could have an adverse effect on Zebra’s expected 
revenues following the Acquisition.

Zebra continues to rely on MSI to perform certain critical transition services and there can be no assurance 
that those services will be performed timely and effectively or that Zebra can replace those services prior to 
the expiration of the transition services agreement or successfully develop its own operations going forward

Under the terms of the transition services agreement that Zebra entered into with MSI in connection with the 
Acquisition, MSI provided and continues to provide Zebra with services critical for the operation and continuity 
of  Zebra’s  operation  of  Enterprise.  Zebra  has  transitioned  some  of  these  critical  functions,  and  is  in  the  process 
of  transitioning  other  critical  functions,  which  primarily  include  information  technology  systems.  Until  Zebra 
transitions all such functions, it will continue to rely on MSI for those services. There can be no assurances that 
these  remaining  services  will  be  performed  timely  and  effectively  or  that  Zebra  will  be  able  to  successfully  or 
timely transition remaining functions and assume responsibility over them. Significant disruption in these transition 
services,  or  unanticipated  costs  related  to  these  services,  could  materially  and  adversely  affect  Zebra’s  business, 
financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, if we are unable to transition such remaining services to 
Zebra in a timely fashion or without disruption to Zebra’s operations, we could experience an adverse effect on our 
business, financial condition and cash flows, and results of operations.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to document and test our internal controls over 
financial reporting and to report on our assessment as to the effectiveness of these controls. Any negative reports 
concerning our internal controls could adversely affect our future results of operations and financial condition

We may discover areas of our internal controls that need improvement, particularly with respect to areas of our 
business impacted by the integration of our business processes, systems, and facilities. We cannot be certain that any 
remedial measures we take will ensure appropriate implementation and maintenance of adequate internal controls 
over the financial reporting processes and reporting in the future. We may incur significant additional costs in order 
to ensure we adequately remediate any weaknesses identified in our internal control environment, which, in turn, 
would reduce our earnings. Implementing any remedial measures may be complicated by the limited timeframe in 
which to implement such measures, the possibility that implementation of such measures may require a substantial 
amount of work and time by Zebra personnel, and the challenge of migrating to a new ERP while implementing such 
remedial  measures.  In  addition,  development  of  an  integrated  financial  reporting  system  with  the  accompanying 
system of internal controls to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 may increase the time and costs necessary 
to complete the integration of Enterprise or cause us to miss our reporting obligations.

Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, 
could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. If we are unable to conclude 
that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting, or if our independent registered public accounting 
firm  is  unable  to  provide  us  with  an  unqualified  report  regarding  the  effectiveness  of  our  internal  controls  over 
financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements. Failure to comply 
with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the

SEC, or other regulatory authorities. In addition, failure to comply with our reporting obligations with the SEC may 
cause an event of default to occur under the Debt Agreements, or similar instruments governing any debt we or our 
subsidiaries incur in the future.

As part of the integration, Zebra is moving Enterprise off of its legacy ERP systems and implementing an 
ERP system under a single instance with Zebra’s legacy business. The implementation process is complex and 
involves a number of risks that may adversely affect Zebra’s business and results of operations

Zebra is currently replacing its multiple legacy business systems, including moving Enterprise off of its legacy 
systems that are being operated under a transition services agreement with MSI, with a new company-wide, integrated 
enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to handle various business, operating and financial processes for Zebra 
and its subsidiaries. The new system will enhance a variety of important functions, such as order entry, invoicing, 
accounts  receivable,  accounts  payable,  financial  consolidation,  logistics,  and  internal  and  external  financial  and 
management reporting matters.

ERP implementations are complex and time-consuming projects that involve substantial expenditures on system 
hardware and software and implementation activities that often continue for several years. Such an integrated, wide-
scale implementation is extremely complex and requires transformation of business and financial processes in order 
to reap the benefits of the ERP system. Significant efforts are required for requirements identification, functional 
design, process documentation, data conversion, user training and post implementation support. Problems in any of 
these areas could result in operational issues including delayed shipments or production, missed sales, billing and 
accounting errors and other operational issues. System delays or malfunctioning could also disrupt Zebra’s ability to 
timely and accurately process and report key components of the results of its consolidated operations, its financial 
position and cash flows, which could impact Zebra’s ability to timely complete important business processes such 
as the evaluation of its internal controls and attestation activities pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 
of 2002.

We  have  a  substantial  amount  of  goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets,  which  could,  in  the  future,  become 
impaired and result in material non-cash charges to our results of operations

As of December 31, 2015, we had $3.2 billion of goodwill and other intangible assets, a significant increase 
since  prior  to  the  Acquisition  of  Enterprise.  At  least  annually,  or  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances 
indicate a potential impairment in the carrying value as defined by GAAP, we will evaluate this goodwill and other 
intangible assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events 
or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is 
less than the carrying amount. Estimated fair values could change if, for example, there are changes in the business 
climate, unanticipated changes in the competitive environment, declines in the financial condition of a reporting 
unit, adverse legal or regulatory actions or developments, changes in capital structure, cost of debt, interest rates, 
capital expenditure levels, operating cash flows, or market capitalization. Because of the significance of our goodwill 
and intangible assets, any future impairment of these assets could require material non-cash charges to our results of 
operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDEBTEDNESS

In connection with the Acquisition, Zebra incurred substantial debt obligations

Zebra’s  total  outstanding  debt  for  borrowed  money  was  approximately  $3.25  billion  on  October  27,  2014. 
At  December  31,  2015,  the  remaining  principal  amount  of  indebtedness  was  $3.09  billion.  In  addition,  subject 
to  restrictions  in  agreements  governing  Zebra’s  existing  and  future  indebtedness,  Zebra  may  incur  additional 
indebtedness. Zebra’s substantial level of indebtedness could have important consequences, including the following:

• 

• 

Zebra may experience difficulty in satisfying its obligations with respect to its existing indebtedness or 
future indebtedness;

Zebra’s ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or 
general corporate purposes may be impaired;

OPERATOR ALONZOV 

• 

• 

Zebra plans to use a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to pay interest and principal on its 
indebtedness, which may reduce the funds available to Zebra for other purposes, such as acquisitions and 
capital expenditures;

Zebra may be at a competitive disadvantage with reduced flexibility in planning for, or responding to, 
changing conditions in the industry, including increased competition; and

Zebra may be more vulnerable to economic downturns and adverse developments in the business.

• 
Zebra expects to fund its expenses and to pay the principal and interest on its indebtedness from cash flow 
from  operations.  Zebra’s  ability  to  meet  its  expenses  and  to  pay  principal  and  interest  on  its  indebtedness  when 
due depends on its future performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic, and other factors. 
Zebra will not be able to control many of these factors, such as economic conditions in the markets where Zebra 
operates  and  pressure  from  competitors.  Additionally,  Zebra  has  not  previously  undertaken  substantial  amounts 
of indebtedness. Historically, Zebra operated its business without incurring significant indebtedness for borrowed 
money and has limited experience operating its business subject to the constraints imposed by debt agreements.

Despite its indebtedness, Zebra may need to incur substantially more indebtedness and take other actions that 
could further exacerbate the risk associated with its existing indebtedness

At December 31, 2015, the remaining principal amount of indebtedness was $3.09 billion. In addition to the 
financing  activities,  Zebra  may  need  to  incur  substantially  more  indebtedness  in  the  future,  resulting  in  higher 
leverage.  Subject  to  the  limits  contained  in  its  Debt  Agreements,  Zebra  may  incur  additional  indebtedness  from 
time  to  time  to  finance  working  capital,  capital  expenditures,  investments  or  acquisitions,  or  for  other  purposes. 
To  the  extent  Zebra  incurs  additional  indebtedness,  the  risks  associated  with  its  substantial  indebtedness  will  be 
exacerbated.

Zebra’s use of derivative financial instruments to reduce interest rate risk may result in added volatility in its 
quarterly operating results

Zebra does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. However, Zebra does utilize 
derivative  financial  instruments  to  reduce  interest  rate  risk  associated  with  its  indebtedness.  To  manage  variable 
interest rate risk, Zebra entered into forward interest rate swap agreements, which will effectively convert a portion 
of  its  indebtedness  into  a  fixed  rate  loan.  Under  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  the  fair  values  of  the 
swap contracts, which will either be amounts receivable from or payable to counterparties, are reflected as either 
assets or liabilities on Zebra’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Zebra records its fair value change in our Consolidated 
Statements of Earnings, as a component of “Other income (expense)” if not hedged. The associated impact on Zebra’s 
quarterly operating results is directly related to changes in prevailing interest rates. If interest rates increase, Zebra 
would have a non-cash gain on the swaps, and vice versa in the event of a decrease in interest rates. Consequently, 
these swap contracts introduce complexity to Zebra’s operating results.

Restrictive covenants in the Debt Agreements may limit Zebra’s current and future operations, particularly 
its ability to respond to changes in its business or to pursue its business strategies

The Debt Agreements contain, and instruments governing any future indebtedness may contain, a number of 
restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions, including restrictions on Zebra’s 
ability to take actions that Zebra believes may be in its interest. Zebra expects these covenants will limit its ability to:

• 
• 

• 
• 
• 
• 

incur additional indebtedness or guarantees;

pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem its stock or prepay or redeem certain 
indebtedness;

sell or dispose of assets and issue capital stock of restricted subsidiaries;

incur liens or enter into sale-leaseback transactions;

enter into agreements restricting its subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends;

enter into transactions with affiliates;

• 
• 
•  make loans, investments and/or acquisitions; and
• 

enter  into  amendments  or  modifications  of  certain  material  subordinated  debt  agreements  or 
organizational documents.

Additionally, the Term Loan entered into to fund a portion of the Acquisition requires Zebra to maintain in 
certain circumstances compliance with a consolidated total secured net leverage ratio. Zebra’s ability to comply with 
this ratio may be affected by events beyond its control, and Zebra cannot assure you that Zebra will meet this ratio. 
The restrictions could adversely affect Zebra’s ability to:

finance operations;

plan for or react to market conditions or otherwise execute Zebra’s business strategies.

engage in business activities, including future opportunities, that may be in Zebra’s interest; and

• 
•  make needed capital expenditures;
•  make strategic acquisitions or investments or enter into alliances;
•  withstand a future downturn in our business or the economy in general;
• 
• 
A breach of any of the covenants contained in the Debt Agreements (including an inability to comply with the 
financial maintenance covenants) that is not remedied within the applicable cure period, if any, would result in an 
event of default under the Debt Agreements. If, when required, Zebra is unable to repay or refinance its indebtedness 
or  amend  the  covenants  contained  in  the  Debt  Agreements,  or  if  a  default  otherwise  occurs  that  is  not  cured  or 
waived, the lenders or holders of Zebra debt securities could elect to declare all borrowings outstanding, together 
with accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable or institute foreclosure proceedings against 
those  assets  that  secure  the  borrowings.  Should  the  outstanding  obligations  be  accelerated  and  become  due  and 
payable because of any failure to comply with the applicable covenants in the future, Zebra would be required to 
search for alternative measures to finance current and ongoing obligations of its business. There can be no assurance 
that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Any of these scenarios could adversely impact 
Zebra’s liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

A significant amount of cash will be required to service our indebtedness

Zebra’s  ability  to  make  payments  on  and  to  refinance  its  indebtedness  and  to  fund  working  capital  needs, 
general corporate expenditures and planned capital expenditures depends on Zebra’s ability to generate a significant 
amount of cash. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, business, legislative, 
regulatory, and other factors that are beyond Zebra’s control.

If  Zebra’s  business  does  not  generate  sufficient  cash  flows  from  operations  or  if  future  borrowings  are  not 
available to Zebra in an amount sufficient to enable Zebra to pay its indebtedness or to fund its other liquidity needs, 
Zebra may need to refinance all or a portion of its indebtedness on or before the maturity thereof, sell assets, reduce 
or delay capital investments, or seek to raise additional capital, any of which could have a material adverse effect on 
Zebra’s operations. In addition, Zebra may not be able to affect any of these actions, if necessary, on commercially 
reasonable terms or at all. Zebra’s ability to restructure or refinance its indebtedness will depend on the condition 
of the capital and debt markets and its financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of its indebtedness could 
be  at  higher  interest  rates  and  may  require  Zebra  to  comply  with  more  onerous  covenants,  which  could  further 
restrict business operations. The terms of anticipated or future debt instruments may limit or prevent Zebra from 
taking  any  of  these  actions.  In  addition,  any  failure  to  make  scheduled  payments  of  interest  and/or  principal  on 
outstanding indebtedness would likely result in a reduction of Zebra’s credit rating, which could harm its ability to 
access additional capital on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Zebra’s inability to generate sufficient cash flow 
to satisfy its debt service obligations, or to refinance or restructure its obligations on commercially reasonable terms 
or at all, would have an adverse effect, which could be material, on Zebra’s business, financial condition and results 
of operations, as well as on its ability to satisfy the obligations in respect of its indebtedness.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Percentage changes provided throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 

and Results of Operations were calculated on amounts rounded to the nearest thousand.

Zebra is a global leader respected for innovative EAI solutions in the automatic information and data capture 
solutions industry. We design, manufacture, and sell a broad range of products that capture and move data, including: 
mobile computers; barcode scanners and imagers; RFID readers; WLAN products; specialty printers for barcode 
labeling  and  personal  identification;  RTLS;  related  accessories  and  supplies,  such  as  self-adhesive  labels  and 
other  consumables;  and  utilities  and  application  software.  End-users  of  our  products  include  those  in  the  retail, 
transportation and logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, warehouse and distribution, energy and utilities, 
and  education  industries  around  the  world.  Benefits  of  our  solutions  include  improved  efficiency  and  workflow 
management, increased productivity and asset utilization, real-time, actionable enterprise information, and better 
customer  experiences.  We  provide  our  products  and  services  globally  through  a  direct  sales  force  and  extensive 
network of partners. We provide products and services in over 170 countries, with approximately 120 facilities and 
7,000 employees worldwide.

In October 2014, Zebra acquired the Enterprise from MSI, excluding its iDEN, or Integrated Digital Enhanced 
Network  Business,  for  $3.45  billion  in  cash.  Enterprise  is  an  industry  leader  in  mobile  computing  and  advanced 
data capture technologies and services, which complement Zebra’s printing and RFID products. Its products include 
rugged and enterprise-grade mobile computers; barcode scanners and imagers; RFID readers; WLAN solutions; and 
accessories, software; and services that are associated with these products. Enterprise service revenues include sales 
arising from maintenance, repair, product support, system installation and integration services, and other services.

Similar  to  Zebra’s  pre-Acquisition  business,  Enterprise’s  products  and  services  are  sold  to  a  wide  range  of 
enterprise customers globally, including those in the retail, transportation and logistics, manufacturing, health care, 
hospitality, warehouse and distribution, energy and utilities, and education industries.

Zebra financed the Acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings of $3.25 billion (the 
“Indebtedness”),  including  the  sale  of  7.25%  senior  notes  due  2022  with  an  aggregate  principal  amount  of  $1.05 
billion and a new credit agreement with various lenders that provided a term loan of $2.20 billion due 2021. The new 
credit agreement also included a $250 million revolving credit facility.

SEGMENTS

Commencing with the completion of the Acquisition in October 2014, the Company’s operations consist of two 

reportable segments: Legacy Zebra and Enterprise.

LEGACY ZEBRA

The Legacy Zebra segment is an industry leader in barcode printing and asset tracking technologies. Its major

Net sales growth of 118.6% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the prior year was 
primarily as a result of the Acquisition of the Enterprise business and higher North America sales, offset partially by 
$149 million of unfavorable foreign currency effects, net of hedges. The Enterprise business contributed $1,889 million 
or 95.3% of the increase in total net sales, increased gross profit by $809 million or 93.4%, and increased recurring 
operating  expenses  by  $817  million  or  95.9%,  and  non-recurring  operating  expenses  by  $41  million  or  82.4%. 
Included within the total recurring operating expenses was an increase of $197 million of amortization expense as a 
result of intangibles acquired. Within non-recurring operating expenses were increases of $17 million of integration 
and acquisition costs as a result of IT costs of transitioning and exiting the Motorola platforms and $24 million of exit 
and restructuring costs as a result of integrating acquired facilities and related employees.

Included in the total Enterprise impacts of 2015 versus 2014 are the following purchase accounting adjustments: 
a $10 million reduction in revenue related to the valuation of service contracts acquired, a $25 million decrease to 
cost  of  sales  related  to  a  step  up  in  value  of  inventory  acquired,  and  a  $167  million  increase  in  depreciation  and 
amortization expenses.

Net sales, excluding the impact of the Acquisition of the Enterprise business, increased by $92 million or 7.7% 
in  2015  versus  2014.  The  unfavorable  impact  of  foreign  currency  reduced  sales  by  $70  million.  This  increase  is 
primarily due to sales growth in the North America and Asia-Pacific regions, specifically higher volumes of barcode 
printers and location solutions. Latin America sales were lower driven by a weak macro-economic environment. 
Consolidated net sales, excluding the effect of the Enterprise business, grew 12.5%, on a constant currency basis.

Gross margin as a percent of sales, excluding the effect of the Enterprise business, was 50.9% for the year ended 
December 31, 2015 compared to 50.0% in the comparable year ended December 31, 2014. This increase in margins 
reflects  the  favorable  impact  of  higher  unit  sales  within  the  North  America  and  Asia-Pacific  regions  and  lower 
product costs for both hardware and supplies, offset partially by unfavorable foreign currency effects, net of hedges.

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015, excluding the effect of the Enterprise business, were 
$414 million compared to $370 million in the prior year. Included in the increase were exit and restructuring costs 
within Legacy Zebra of $9 million related to organizational redesign. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses, 
excluding the Enterprise business, were 32.1% for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to 31.0% for the year 
ended December 31, 2014 primarily due to additional investments made to support business growth in the sales, 
research and development, and administrative functions, and exit and restructuring costs. 

Operating  income  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2015,  excluding  the  effect  of  the  Enterprise  business, 
increased $13 million or 6.1% compared to the prior year. The increase is primarily due to higher sales and gross 
profit, partially offset by higher operating expenses and the unfavorable foreign currency effects, net of hedges.

The Company recognized a foreign exchange loss of $22 million for 2015 as a result of changes in the value 
of  non-US  dollar  assets  and  liabilities  primarily  related  to  the  Enterprise  business  that  were  not  hedged  during 
the period.

Interest expense was $194 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $62 million for 2014 
mainly reflecting the indebtedness incurred related to the Acquisition of $3.2 billion borrowed in October of 2014. 
There was also $4 million of forward interest rate swap gains in 2015 included in interest expense compared to a 
$5 million loss in 2014 primarily due to the changes in the market interest rates.

In 2015, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $27 million compared to a tax benefit of $15 million for 
2014. The Company’s effective tax rates were 16.1% and (95.0)% as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 
respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to pre-
tax losses in the United States and corporate structure realignment initiatives in various non-US jurisdictions.

Since the date of the Acquisition, as part of its corporate initiatives of integrating the Enterprise business, the 
Company has been executing its integration plan for the Enterprise business (the “Integration Plan”). The Company 
anticipates completing the Integration Plan as soon as practicable and expects that the Integration Plan will allow the 
combined businesses to achieve further synergies and cost savings associated with the Acquisition. As part of the 
Integration Plan, the Company began realigning certain acquired assets of the Enterprise business with and into the 
Company’s corporate structure and business model.

2014 compared to 2013

Net sales growth of 60.9% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 as compared to 2013 was primarily 
a  result  of  the  Acquisition  of  the  Enterprise  business  and  higher  sales  in  all  regions  and  product  categories.  The 
Enterprise business contributed $476 million or 75.3% of the increase in total net sales, increased gross profit by 
$180 million or 65.7%, increased recurring operating expenses by $185 million or 83.1%, and non-recurring operating 
expenses  by  $135  million  or  108.5%.  Included  within  the  total  recurring  operating  expenses  were  $47  million 
of  amortization  expense  as  a  result  of  the  Acquisition.  Included  within  non-recurring  operating  expenses  were 
$127 million of acquisition related costs also as a result of the Acquisition and $6 million of exit and restructuring 
costs related to organizational redesign.

Included in the total Enterprise impacts of 2014 are the following purchase accounting adjustments: $6 million 
reduction in revenue related to the valuation of service contracts acquired, $29 million increase to cost of sales related 
to a step up in value of inventory acquired, and $35 million increase in depreciation and amortization expenses.

Net sales, excluding the impact of the Enterprise business, increased by $157 million or 15.1% in 2014 versus 
2013. The Company experienced net sales growth across all regions and all product categories in 2014 with notable 
increases  in  supplies  and  service  contracts,  and  sales  of  tabletop,  desktop,  and  mobile  printers.  Sales  growth  of 
$24 million was also derived from the December 2013 acquisition of Hart Systems, LLC.

Gross margin as a percent of sales, excluding the effect of the Enterprise business, was 50.0% for the year ended 
December 31, 2014 compared to 48.5% in the comparable year ended December 31, 2013. The improvement in gross 
margin reflected the favorable impact of higher sales, as well as product cost reductions on printers and supplies, and 
the December 2013 acquisition of Hart Systems LLC. The gross profit increase in 2014 versus 2013 was primarily 
due to the higher sales, improved gross margin percentage, and the December 2013 acquisition of Hart Systems LLC.

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014, excluding the effect of the Enterprise business, were 
$369 million compared to $343 million in the prior year. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses, excluding 
the Enterprise business, were 31.0% for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 33.1% for the year ended 
December 31, 2013 primarily due to a higher rate of sales growth than the rate of increase in expenses.

Operating  income  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2014,  excluding  the  effect  of  the  Enterprise  business, 
increased $68 million or 42.0% compared to the prior year. The increase is primarily due to higher sales and gross 
margin percentage improvement, which resulted in a gross profit increase of $94 million. This was partially offset by 
higher operating expenses to support business growth.

The Company recognized a foreign exchange loss of $9 million for 2014 as a result of changes in the value 
of non-US dollar assets and liabilities that were not hedged during the period. Zebra did not hedge the Enterprise 
monetary assets until the second quarter of 2015.

Interest  expense  was  $62  million  for  the  year  ended  2014  compared  to  a  minimal  amount  in  2013  mainly 
reflecting the indebtedness incurred related to the Acquisition. There is also $5 million of forward swap loss included 
in interest expense in 2014.

In  2014,  the  Company  recognized  a  tax  benefit  of  $15  million  compared  to  tax  expense  of  $30  million  for 
2013. The Company’s effective tax rates were (95)% and 18.1% as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 
respectively. The 2014 rate benefit is primarily driven by foreign earnings taxed at lower rates and a domestic pre-tax 
loss, which is attributable to third-party interest expense and acquisition expenses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS BY SEGMENT

The following commentary should be read in conjunction with the financial results of each operating business

Net sales for 2015 increased $92 million or 7.7% compared to 2014. Net sales growth compared to 2014 on a 
constant currency basis was $149 million or 12.5%. This reflects higher net sales for the North America and Asia-
Pacific regions. Net sales in EMEA were essentially unchanged while Latin America net sales were lower. On a 
constant currency basis, net sales in EMEA increased 14% compared to 2014. The increase in net sales for the North 
America region was primarily due to higher volume of sales related to barcode printers and location solutions. The 
higher level of net sales for EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions reflected increased volumes of barcode printers. The 
decrease in net sales in the Latin America region was primarily driven by a weak macro-economic environment.

Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 50.9% for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to 50.0% 
for 2014. This increase in margins reflects the favorable impact of higher unit sales and lower product costs for both 
hardware and supplies, offset partially by unfavorable foreign currency effects, net of hedges.

Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2015, increased 9.4% as a result of higher sales and gross 
profit partially offset by increases in operating expenses and unfavorable foreign currency effects, net of hedges. 
Operating expenses increased compared to the prior year primarily to support business growth.

2014 compared to 2013

Net sales for 2014 increased 15.1% compared to 2013. This increase is a result of growth across all regions 
and  across  all  product  categories,  with  notable  increases  in  supplies  and  service  contracts,  and  sales  of  tabletop, 
desktop, and mobile printers. Increased services and software revenue is attributable to both organic growth and 
the December 2013 acquisition of Hart Systems LLC, which increased sales by $24 million. Movement in foreign 
currency, net of hedges, increased sales growth by $10 million.

Gross margin for 2014 of 50.0% versus 48.5% for 2013, reflects the favorable impact of higher sales, as well as 
lower product costs, including the improved absorption of fixed costs and lower freight costs, and revenue associated 
with the December 2013 acquisition of Hart Systems LLC. Favorable movements in foreign currency, net of hedges, 
increased gross profit by $7 million.

Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased 33.3% from the prior year. This is the result 
of 15.1% sales growth and gross margin improvement of 150 basis points. This resulted in a gross profit improvement 
of $94 million, or 18.7%. This was partially offset by increases in operating expenses to support business growth.

On  October  27,  2014,  the  Company  acquired  Enterprise,  an  industry  leader  in  mobile  computing  and  data 

capture technologies and services, therefore 2014 only includes results since the acquisition date.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, net sales for Enterprise were $2.4 billion compared to $482 million 
in  2014,  which  includes  net  sales  only  for  the  period  following  the  Acquisition.  Mobile  computing,  data  capture, 
and repair services generated the majority of Enterprise net sales for the year in 2015 and 2014. The regions which 
accounted for the majority of 2015 and 2014 Enterprise net sales included North America and EMEA. Sales in the 
fourth quarter were $636 million, up 5.1% compared to the third quarter due to higher net sales in EMEA.

Gross profit margin for the full year 2015 was 42.4%. Gross margin of 44.5% in 2014 reflects only the period 
following the Acquisition on October 27, 2014. Gross margin in the fourth quarter was 42.4%, comparable to the third 
quarter of 2015, reflecting higher gross margin in services offset by unfavorable foreign currency effects.

Enterprise’s operating expenses for 2015 were $761 million and operating income for 2015 was $248 million. 
Operating expenses in the fourth quarter decreased $12 million to 28.6% of sales compared to 31.9% in the third 
quarter of 2015 due to the improved operating leverage.

Retail Solutions Group Goodwill

The Retail Solutions Group reporting unit had total goodwill of $59 million as of December 31, 2015. During the 
fourth quarter of 2015, we finalized the determination of estimated fair value of the Retail Solutions Group reporting 
unit as of the first day of the fourth quarter of 2015. The determination of fair value and the allocation of that value 
to individual assets and liabilities within the Retail Solutions Group reporting unit requires us to make significant 
estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to: the selection 
of appropriate peer group companies; a control premium appropriate for acquisitions in the industries in which the 
Retail Solutions Group reporting unit competes; a discount rate; a terminal growth rate; and forecasts of revenue, 
operating income, depreciation and amortization, and capital expenditures. The estimate of fair value indicated that 
the fair value of the Retail Solutions Group reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 12% as of 
the valuation date. Although we believe our estimate of fair value is reasonable, actual financial results could differ 
from that estimate due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making such estimate.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management prepared the consolidated financial statements of Zebra under accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions. 
We  believe  that  the  estimates,  judgments  and  assumptions  we  used  are  reasonable,  based  upon  the  information 
available at that time.

Our estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements. See Note 
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this 
Form 10-K.

included in this Form 10-K.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In  connection  with  the  Acquisition  in  October  2014,  we  incurred  indebtedness  totaling  $3.25  billion.  As  of 
December 31, 2015, we had long-term debt totaling $3.09 billion. We did not have any borrowings against our revolving 
credit facility with $247 million available ($250 million less $3 million of outstanding letters of credit). See Note 14 
Long-Term Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K for further details and 
under Financing activities below. The primary factors that influence our liquidity include, but are not limited to, the 
amount and timing of our revenues, cash collections from our customers, capital expenditures, repatriation of foreign 
cash  and  investments,  and  acquisitions  of  third-parties.  Management  believes  that  existing  capital  resources  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 years indicated (in millions):

The change in our cash and cash equivalents balance is reflective of the following:

2015 vs. 2014

Cash flows from operations decreased $137 million during 2015 to $111 million. While an increase in net loss of 
$169 million netted against an increase in non-cash operating items of $179 million yielded an increase in cash flow 
from operations of $10 million, the overall decrease in cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributable 
to  changes  in  certain  assets  and  liabilities  of  $147  million  during  2015.  These  changes  consisted  primarily  of  a 
decrease in cash inflows related to accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $260 million offset by a $64 million 
decrease in cash outflows for accounts receivable and a $43 million increase in cash inflows for income taxes payable.

Net cash used in investing activities during 2015 included additional consideration of $51 million paid to MSI 
in relation to the opening cash balance and working capital adjustments. In addition, there were capital expenditures 
of $122 million in 2015 compared to $39 million in 2014. The increase in capital expenditures in 2015 as compared 
to  2014  consisted  primarily  of  investments  in  IT  infrastructure,  software  applications,  facilities,  engineering, 
development, test equipment, and production and tooling equipment. Reflecting the effect of the Acquisition on the 
Company’s capital structure, net cash used for investing activities during 2014 included $3.4 billion paid to MSI and 
purchases of marketable securities of $651 million offset by $644 million and $336 million of proceeds from the sale 
and maturity of investments in marketable securities, respectively.

Net cash used in financing activities during 2015 consisted primarily of principal repayments of $165 million 
under the Term Loan compared to proceeds of $3.2 billion from the issuance of long-term debt to fund the Acquisition 
during 2014. Additionally, proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchase plan 
purchases (“ESPP”) were $17 million this year compared to $26 million in 2014 reflecting decreased option exercises 
and ESPP purchases. The taxes paid related to the net share settlement of equity awards were $13 million in 2015 
compared to $5 million in 2014 reflecting increased restricted stock trading activity.

2014 vs. 2013

Cash flows from operations increased $54 million during 2014 to $248 million. While a decrease in net income 
of $102 million netted against an increase in non-cash operating items of $13 million yielded a decrease in cash flow 
from operations of $89 million, the overall increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable 
to  changes  in  certain  assets  and  liabilities  of  $143  million  during  2014.  These  changes  consisted  primarily  of  an 
increase in cash inflows of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $213 million offset by a $63 million increase 
in cash outflows related to accounts receivable.

Net  cash  used  in  investing  activities  during  2014  included  $3.4  billion  paid  to  MSI  in  the  Acquisition  and 
purchases of marketable securities of $651 million offset by $644 million and $336 million of proceeds from the sale 
and maturity of investments in marketable securities respectively. During 2013, net cash used in investing activities 
included $95 million paid for the acquisition of Hart Systems LLC and $410 million for the purchase of marketable 
securities offset by $337 million and $49 million of proceeds from the sale and maturity of investments in marketable 
securities, respectively.

Net cash provided by financing activities during 2014 consisted primarily of proceeds of $3.2 billion from the 
issuance of long-term debt to fund the Acquisition. Additionally, proceeds received from the exercise of stock options 
and ESPP were $26 million in 2014 compared to $23 million in 2013 reflecting increased option exercises and ESPP 
purchases. The taxes paid related to the net share settlement of equity awards were $5 million in 2014 compared to 
$8 million in 2013 reflecting decreased restricted stock trading activity.

Effect of exchange rates on cash

Certain assets on the consolidated balance sheet are denominated in foreign currency and, as such, include 
the  effects  of  foreign  currency  translation.  The  effect  of  exchange  rate  changes  on  cash  during  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $16 million loss and $2 million gain, respectively.

Private Offering

On October 15, 2014, the Company completed a private offering of $1.05 billion in 7.25% Senior Notes due 

October 15, 2022. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable in cash on April 15 and October 15 of each year.

The indenture covering the Senior Notes contains certain covenants limiting among other things the ability 
of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries, with certain exceptions as described in the indenture, to; (i) incur 
indebtedness or issue certain preferred stock; (ii) incur liens; (iii) pay dividends or make distributions in respect 
of capital stock; (iv) purchase or redeem capital stock; (v) make investments or certain other restricted payments; 
(vi) sell assets; (vii) issue or sell stock of restricted subsidiaries; (viii) enter into transactions with stockholders or 
affiliates;  or  (ix)  effect  a  consolidation  or  merger.  On  December  31,  2015,  the  Company  was  in  compliance  with 
the covenants.

Credit Facilities

On October 27, 2014, the Company entered into a credit agreement, which provides for a term loan of $2.2 billion 
(“Term Loan”) and a revolving credit facility of $250 million (“Revolving Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the 
Term  Loan  bear  interest  at  a  variable  rate  plus  an  applicable  margin,  subject  to  an  all-in  floor  of  4.75%.  As  of 
December 31 2015, the Term Loan interest rate was 4.75%. Interest payments are payable quarterly. The October 
2012 revolving credit agreement for $250 million with a syndicate of banks was terminated upon execution of this 
credit agreement. The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk on its long-term 
debt. See Note 13 Derivative Instruments in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for 
further details.

The credit agreement requires the Company to prepay the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility, under 
certain circumstances or transactions defined in the credit agreement. Also, the Company may voluntarily prepay 
its obligations under the Term Loan at any time in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. The Company has 
made such optional principal prepayments of $165 million in 2015. In February 2016, the Company made additional 
optional principal prepayments of $80 million. Unless satisfied by further optional prepayments, the Company is 
required to make a scheduled principal payment of $1.99 billion due on October 27, 2021.

The Revolving Credit Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes including 
letters of credit. The amount (including letters of credit) shall not exceed $250 million. As of December 31, 2015, the 
Company had established letters of credit totaling $3 million, which reduced funds available for other borrowings 
under the agreement to $247 million. The Revolving Credit Facility will mature and the commitments thereunder 
will terminate on October 27, 2019.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate plus an applicable margin. The 
applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility ranges from 2.25% to 2.75% depending on the 
Company’s consolidated total secured net leverage ratio, which is evaluated on a quarterly basis. Interest payments 
are payable quarterly. As of December 31 2015, the Company did not have any borrowings against the Revolving 
Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain covenants limiting among other things, the ability of the Company 
and its restricted subsidiaries, with certain exceptions as described in the credit agreement, to: (i) incur indebtedness, 
make guarantees or issue certain equity securities; (ii) pay dividends on its capital stock or redeem, repurchase or 
retire its capital stock; (iii) make certain investments, loans and acquisitions; (iv) sell certain assets or issue capital 
stock of restricted subsidiaries; (v) create liens or engage in sale-leaseback transactions; (vi) merge, consolidate or 
transfer or dispose of substantially all of their assets; (vii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (viii) alter the 
business it conducts; (ix) amend, prepay, redeem or purchase subordinated debt; and (x) enter into agreements limiting 
subsidiary dividends and distributions. The Revolving Credit Facility also requires the Company to comply with a 
financial covenant consisting of a quarterly maximum consolidated Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio, (as defined in 
the credit agreement). This test is only required to be performed at the end of the fiscal quarter and when 20% of the 
commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility have been drawn and remain outstanding.

The Term Loan and obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are collateralized by a security interest 
in substantially all of the Company’s assets as defined in the security agreement and guaranteed by its direct and 
indirect wholly-owned existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

Certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) guarantee the Notes, the Term 
Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility on a senior basis: For the year ended December 31, 2015, the non-Guarantor 
Subsidiaries  would  have  (a)  accounted  for  44%  of  our  total  revenue  and  (b)  held  24%  or  $1.3  billion  of  our  total 
assets  and  approximately  10%  or  $430  million  of  our  total  liabilities  including  trade  payables  but  excluding 
intercompany liabilities.

On December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

Historically, significant portions of our cash inflows were generated by our operations. We currently expect 
this  trend  to  continue  throughout  2016.  We  believe  that  our  existing  cash  and  investments,  borrowings  available 
under our Revolving Credit Facility, together with cash flows expected from operations will be sufficient to meet 
expected operating, capital expenditure and debt obligation requirements for the next 12 months.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s cash position of $192 million included foreign cash and investments 

of $166 million.

Management  believes  that  existing  capital  resources  and  funds  generated  from  operations  are  sufficient  to 

finance anticipated capital requirements.

Purchase obligations are for purchases made in the normal course of business to meet operational requirements, 

primarily raw materials and finished goods.

Uncertain tax position liabilities of $36 million have been excluded from the above table as we cannot make a 

reasonably reliable estimate of the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing authority.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the sensitivity of income to changes in interest rates, commodity prices, and foreign currency 

changes. Zebra is exposed to the following types of market risk: interest rates and foreign currency.

INTEREST RATE RISK

Historically, we mitigated interest rate risk on marketable security investments with an investment policy and 
use of outside professional investment managers; our objective was to achieve stable and predictable targeted rates of 
return and to provide the liquidity necessary for the operation of the business.

In connection with the acquisition of Enterprise, Zebra incurred significant debt, including variable rate debt 
(subject to interest rate caps). As of December 31, 2015, we had $2 billion of debt outstanding under our Term Loan, 
which bears interest determined by reference to a variable rate index. To mitigate this risk, we entered into forward 
interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the variable interest payments on our Term Loan that 
was used to fund the acquisition of Enterprise. Refer to Note 13 Derivative Instruments in the Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K for further discussions of hedging activities.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

We  provide  products  and  services  in  over  170  countries  throughout  the  world  and,  therefore,  at  times  are 
exposed to risk based on movements in foreign exchange rates. On occasion, we invoice customers in their local 
currency and have a resulting foreign currency denominated revenue transaction and accounts receivable. We also 
purchase certain raw materials and other items in foreign currencies. We manage these risks using derivative financial 
instruments. See Note 13 Derivative Instruments in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in 
this Form 10-K for further discussions of hedging activities.

The  following  table  sets  forth  the  impact  of  a  hypothetical  ten  percent  (plus  or  minus)  movement  in  the 
dollar/pound,  dollar/euro,  euro/pound,  dollar/Czech  koruna,  dollar/Brazilian  real,  dollar/Canadian  dollar  and 
dollar/Malaysian  ringgit  rates  measured  as  if  Zebra  did  not  engage  in  the  selective  hedging  practices  described 
above. The risk is increased through additional exposure as it relates to the acquisition of Enterprise. It is  based 
on  the  dollar/euro,  dollar/pound,  euro/pound,  dollar/Czech  koruna,  dollar/Brazilian  real,  dollar/Canadian  dollar 
and  dollar/Malaysian  ringgit  exchange  rates  and  euro,  pound,  Czech  koruna,  Brazilian  real,  Canadian  dollar  and 
Malaysian ringgit denominated assets and liabilities (in millions, except per share data).

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure 
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 
“Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K. The evaluation was conducted under the 
supervision of its Disclosure Committee, and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive 
Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, the Company has concluded that, due to a material 
weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting as described below, its disclosure controls and procedures 
were not effective as of December 31, 2015.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our  management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  controls  over  financial 
reporting  as  defined  in  Rules  13a-15(f)  and  15d-15(f)  under  the  Exchange  Act  to  provide  reasonable  assurance 
regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes 
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  Our  management  assessed  the  effectiveness  of  our 
internal  controls  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2015.  In  making  this  assessment,  our  management 
used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal 
Control-Integrated Framework as released in 2013. Based on this assessment, our management believes that, as of 
December 31, 2015, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective, due to the identification of a 
material weakness.

A  material  weakness  is  a  deficiency,  or  combination  of  deficiencies,  in  the  internal  controls  over  financial 
reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim 
financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As of the first quarter of 2015, the Company identified a material weakness related to the process to prepare and 
review its quarterly and annual income tax provision. The material weakness relates to deficiencies in the design and 
operation of controls in response to the increased complexity in the legal entity structure of the business following 
the Enterprise acquisition. These deficiencies impacted our ability to accurately forecast pretax income and deferred 
taxes, by legal entity, in a timely manner.

This material weakness did not result in the restatement of prior quarterly or annually filed financial statements.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an attestation report on 
Zebra’s internal controls over financial reporting. Ernst & Young LLP’s report is included on page 39 of this report 
on Form 10-K.

REMEDIATION PLAN

Management and the Board of Directors are committed to the continued improvement of the Company’s overall 
system of internal controls over financial reporting. Our remediation plan, which started during 2015, is to implement 
additional processes, controls and procedures relating to the preparation and review process of our quarterly and 
annual income tax provision. We will continue to implement remedial measures to improve and develop internal 
controls, processes and procedures in the income tax provision process in order to address the material weakness.

The identification, review, assessment and remediation of internal control deficiencies is overseen by senior 
management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, and is undertaken primarily through the integration 
of processes and procedures with existing Company processes  and procedures, development and implementation 
of formal policies, improved processes and documented procedures, as well as the hiring of additional finance and 
tax personnel.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

In  2015,  the  Company  expanded  the  scope  of  management’s  assessment  of  internal  controls  over  financial 
reporting to include the newly acquired Enterprise business and related business processes and systems. This has 
included the addition of internal controls over financial reporting, which may have been in operation previously, but 
which were not relied upon in prior years by the Company for purposes of supporting management’s assessment 
of  internal  controls  over  financial  reporting.  This  has  also  included  the  addition  of  new  corporate-level  internal 
controls over financial reporting in response to process and system related changes associated with the acquisition 
of Enterprise.

During the quarter covered by this report, there have been no other changes in the internal controls that have 

materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting.

INHERENT LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS

The  Company’s  management,  including  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief  Financial  Officer,  does  not 
expect that the disclosure controls and procedures or the internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all 
errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, 
not  absolute,  assurance  that  the  objectives  of  the  control  system  are  met.  Further,  the  design  of  a  control  system 
must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to 
their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute 
assurance  that  all  control  issues  and  instances  of  fraud,  if  any,  within  the  Company  have  been  detected.  These 
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can 
occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, 
by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls 
is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any 
design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation 
of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because 
of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of 
Zebra Technologies Corporation:

We  have  audited  Zebra  Technologies  Corporation  and  subsidiaries’  (“the  Company”)  internal  control  over 
financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework 
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO 
criteria). Zebra Technologies Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over 
financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included 
in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 
whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included 
obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness 
exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, 
and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit 
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance 
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting 
includes  those  policies  and  procedures  that  (1)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail, 
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable 
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made 
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable 
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s 
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect 
misstatements.  Also,  projections  of  any  evaluation  of  effectiveness  to  future  periods  are  subject  to  the  risk  that 
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies 
or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, 
such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial 
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified 
and included in management’s assessment. Management has identified a material weakness in controls related to 
the Company’s income tax process. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company 
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Zebra Technologies Corporation and 
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive 
income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash  flows for  each  of the three years in the period ended December 31, 
2015. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in 
our audit of the 2015 financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated February 29, 2016, which 
expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

In  our  opinion,  because  of  the  effect  of  the  material  weakness  described  above  on  the  achievement  of  the 
objectives  of  the  control  criteria,  Zebra  Technologies  Corporation  and  subsidiaries  has  not  maintained  effective 
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 based on the COSO criteria.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of 
Zebra Technologies Corporation

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Zebra  Technologies  Corporation  and 
subsidiaries  (“the  Company”)  as  of  December  31,  2015  and  2014,  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of 
operations,  comprehensive  income  (loss),  stockholders’  equity  and  cash  flows  for  each  of  the  three  years  in  the 
period ended December 31, 2015. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in Index at Item 15. 
These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is 
to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the 
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial 
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated 
financial  position  of  Zebra  Technologies  Corporation  and  subsidiaries  at  December  31,  2015  and  2014,  and  the 
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 
2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial 
statement  schedule,  when  considered  in  relation  to  the  basic  consolidated  financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole, 
presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As  discussed  in  Note  2  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Company  changed  its  method  for  the 

balance sheet classification of deferred taxes in 2015.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
(United  States),  Zebra  Technologies  Corporation  and  subsidiaries’  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of 
December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee 
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 29, 2016 
expressed an adverse opinion thereon.

and radio frequency identification based data capture products; wireless LAN (“WLAN”) solutions and software; 
and applications that are associated with these products and services. Enterprise service revenues include revenues 
arising from maintenance, integration services and device and network management.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

These accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles 
generally accepted in the United States and include the accounts of Zebra and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All 
significant intercompany accounts, transactions and unrealized profit were eliminated in consolidation.

Fiscal Calendar

Zebra operates on a 4 week/4 week/5 week fiscal quarter, and each fiscal quarter ends on a Saturday. The fiscal 
year always begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. This fiscal calendar results in some fiscal quarters being 
either greater than or less than 13 weeks, depending on the days of the week those dates fall. During the 2015 fiscal 
year, our quarter end dates were as follows:

•  April 4,
• 
July 4,
•  October 3, and
•  December 31.

Use of Estimates

These  consolidated  financial  statements  were  prepared  using  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the 
reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  as  of  the  date  of  the 
consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 
Examples of estimates include: loss contingencies; product warranties; useful lives of our tangible and intangible 
assets; allowances for doubtful accounts; and share-based compensation forfeiture rates. Actual results could differ 
from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists primarily of deposits with banks. In addition, the Company considers highly liquid short-term 
investments with original maturities of less than three months to be cash equivalents. These highly liquid short-term 
investments  are  readily  convertible  to  known  amounts  of  cash  and  are  so  near  their  maturity  that  they  present 
insignificant risk of a change in value because of changes in interest rates.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due to us from our customers in the course of normal business 
activities. Collateral on trade accounts receivable is generally not required. The Company maintains an allowance 
for doubtful accounts for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable. The allowance is based on our assessment of 
known delinquent accounts. Accounts are written off against the allowance account when they are determined to be 
no longer collectible.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, and cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) 
method.  Manufactured  inventories  consist  of  the  following  costs:  components,  direct  labor  and  manufacturing 
overhead. Purchased inventories also include internal purchasing overhead costs. We review inventory quantities on 
hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based on forecasts of product demand and production 
requirements or historical consumption when appropriate.

Property and Equipment

Property  and  equipment  is  stated  at  cost.  Depreciation  and  amortization  is  computed  primarily  using  the 
straight-line  method  over  the  estimated  useful  lives  of  the  various  classes  of  property  and  equipment,  which  are 
30 years for buildings and range from 3 to 10 years for other property. Leasehold improvements are amortized using 
the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method in accordance with Accounting Standards 
Codification  (“ASC”)  740,  Income  Taxes.  Accordingly,  deferred  income  taxes  are  provided  for  the  future  tax 
consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting 
and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates in effect for the year in 
which  those  temporary  differences  are  expected  to  be  recovered  or  settled.  A  valuation  allowance  is  established 
when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company 
recognizes the benefit of tax positions when it is more likely than not to be sustained on its technical merits. The 
Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or 
circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying 
value. If a quantitative assessment is completed as part of our impairment analysis for a reporting unit, we engage 
a  third  party  appraisal  firm  to  assist  in  the  determination  of  estimated  fair  value  for  each  reporting  unit.  This 
determination includes estimating the fair value using both the income and market approaches. The income approach 
requires management to estimate a number of factors for each reporting unit, including projected future operating 
results, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and discount rates. The market approach estimates fair 
value using comparable marketplace fair value data from within a comparable industry grouping.

The determination of the fair value of the reporting units and the allocation of that value to individual assets and 
liabilities within those reporting units requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates 
and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to: the selection of appropriate peer group companies; control 
premiums appropriate for acquisitions in the industries in which we compete; the discount rates; terminal growth 
rates;  and  forecasts  of  revenue,  operating  income,  depreciation  and  amortization  and  capital  expenditures.  The 
allocation requires several analyses to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities including, among other things, 
customer  relationships  and  trade  names.  Although  we  believe  our  estimates  of  fair  value  are  reasonable,  actual 
financial results could differ from those estimates due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making such estimates.

Changes  in  assumptions  concerning  future  financial  results  or  other  underlying  assumptions  could  have  a 
significant impact on either the fair value of the reporting units, the amount of any goodwill impairment charge, 
or both.

We also compared the sum of the estimated fair values of the reporting units to the Company’s total value as 
implied by the market value of the Company’s securities. This comparison indicated that, in total, our assumptions 
and estimates were reasonable. However, future declines in the overall market value of the Company’s securities may 
indicate that the fair value of one or more reporting units has declined below its carrying value.

One measure of the sensitivity of the amount of goodwill impairment charges to key assumptions is the amount 
by which each reporting unit “passed” (fair value exceeds the carrying amount) or “failed” (the carrying amount 
exceeds fair value) the first step of the goodwill impairment test. Our reporting units’ fair values exceeded their 
carrying values.

Other Intangibles

Other intangible assets capitalized consist primarily of current technology, customer relationships, trade names, 
unpatented technology, and patent rights. These assets are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis 
over a weighted-average life of 3.0 years, which approximates the estimated useful lives. Weighted average lives 
remaining by intangible asset class are as follows: Current technology 1.9 years; Trade names 0.8 years; Unpatented 
technology 2.4 years; Patent and patent rights 2.2 years and Customer relationships 4.7 years.

Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs

The  Company  capitalizes  costs  incurred  in  connection  with  borrowings  or  establishment  of  credit 
facilities. These costs are amortized over the life of the borrowing or life of the credit facility using the effective 
interest method.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue  includes  sales  of  hardware,  supplies  and  services  (including  repair  services  and  extended  service 
contracts, which typically occur over time, and professional services, which typically occur at the inception of a 
project). We enter into revenue arrangements that may consist of multiple deliverables of our hardware products and 
services due to the needs of our customers. For this type of revenue arrangements, we apply the guidance in ASC 605 
“Revenue Recognition” to identify the separate units of accounting by determining whether the delivered items have 
value to the customer on a standalone basis. Generally, our multiple deliverables arrangements do not have a right of 
return. We also follow the accounting principles that establish a hierarchy to determine the selling price to be used for 
allocating revenue to deliverables as follows: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (VSOE), (ii) third-
party evidence of selling price (TPE) and (iii) best estimate of the selling price (ESP). Generally, our agreements 
contain termination provisions whereby we are entitled to payment for delivered equipment and services rendered 
through the date of the termination. Some of our agreements may also contain cancellation provisions that in certain 
cases result in customer penalties. We may enter into multiple agreements with a single customer. In those cases we 
follow the guidance in ASC 985 “Software” to determine whether these agreements should be accounted for as a 
single multiple element arrangement. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement 
exists, delivery has occurred and title has passed to the customer, which typically happens at the point of shipment 
provided that no significant obligations remain, the price is fixed and determinable and collectability of the sales 
price  is  reasonably  assured.  For  hardware  sales,  in  addition  to  the  criteria  discussed  above,  revenue  recognition 
incorporates  allowances  for  discounts,  price  protection,  returns  and  customer  incentives  that  can  be  reasonably 
estimated. In addition to cooperative marketing and other incentive programs, the Company has arrangements with 
some  distributors,  which  allow  for  price  protection  and  limited  rights  of  return,  generally  through  stock  rotation 
programs. Under the price protection programs, the Company gives distributors credits for the difference between 
the original price paid and the Company’s then current price. Under the stock rotation programs, distributors are able 
to exchange certain products based on the number of qualified purchases made during the period. We monitor and 
track these programs and record a provision for future payments or credits granted as reductions of revenue based on 
historical experience. Recorded revenues are reduced by these allowances. The Company enters into post contract 
maintenance and support agreements; revenues are deferred and then recognized ratably over the service period and 
the cost of providing these services is expensed as incurred. The Company includes shipping and handling charges 
billed to customers as revenue when the product ships; any costs incurred related to these services are included in 
cost of sales.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair  value  is  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. Our financial assets and financial liabilities that 
require recognition under the accounting guidance generally include our available-for-sale investments, employee 
deferred compensation plan investments, foreign currency derivatives and interest rate swaps. In accordance with 
ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” we recognize derivative instruments and hedging activities as either assets 
or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair 
value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge 
accounting. See Note 13 Derivative Instruments for additional information on our derivatives and hedging activities.

The  Company  has  foreign  currency  forwards  to  hedge  certain  foreign  currency  exposures  and  interest  rate 
swaps  to  hedge  a  portion  of  the  variability  in  future  cash  flows  on  debt.  We  use  broker  quotations  or  market 
transactions, in either the listed or over-the-counter markets to value our foreign currency exchange contracts and 
relevant observable market inputs at quoted intervals, such as forward yield curves and the Company’s own credit 
risk to value our interest rate swaps.

The Company’s investments in marketable debt securities are classified as available-for-sale except for securities 
held in the Company’s deferred compensation plans, which are considered to be trading securities. In general we use 
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets to determine fair value. If active markets for identical assets are 
not available to determine fair value, then we use quoted prices for similar assets or inputs that are observable either 
directly or indirectly.

Share-Based Compensation

At  December  31,  2015,  the  Company  had  a  general  share-based  compensation  plan  and  an  employee  stock 
purchase plan under which shares of our common stock were available for future grants and sales, and which are 
described more fully in Note 18 Share-Based Compensation. We account for these plans in accordance with ASC 505 
“Equity” and ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation.” The Company recognizes compensation costs using 
the straight-line method over the vesting period upon grant of up to 4 years.

The compensation expense and the related income tax benefit for share-based compensation were included in

Foreign Currency Translation

The consolidated balance sheets of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries, not having a U.S. dollar functional 
currency,  are  translated  into  U.S.  dollars  using  the  year-end  exchange  rate,  and  statement  of  earnings  items  are 
translated  using  the  average  exchange  rate  for  the  year.  The  resulting  translation  gains  or  losses  are  recorded  in 
stockholders’ equity as a cumulative translation adjustment, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive 
(loss) income.

Acquisition and Integration Costs

The  Company  expenses  acquisition  and  integration  costs  as  incurred.  The  Company  incurred  transaction 
expenses  of  approximately  $144  million,  $127  million,  and  $5  million,  which  have  been  recorded  in  acquisition 
and integration costs in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 
2013, respectively.

Acquisitions

We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires that the 
purchase price be allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values. 
The excess of the purchase price over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.

The estimates used to determine the fair value of long-lived assets, such as intangible assets, can be complex 
and require significant judgments. We use information available to us to make fair value determinations and engage 
independent valuation specialists, when necessary, to assist in the fair value determination of significant acquired 
long-lived assets. While we use our best estimates and assumptions as a part of the purchase price allocation process, 
our  estimates  are  inherently  uncertain  and  subject  to  refinement.  Critical  estimates  in  valuing  certain  intangible 
assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from customer relationships, customer attrition rates 
and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but 
due to the inherent uncertainty during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition 
date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360 “Property, Plant 
and Equipment.” The statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for 
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be 
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an

asset to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposition of the 
asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by 
which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at 
the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.

Recently Adopted.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 
2015-03 “Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” 
This guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet 
as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition 
and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this ASU. This standard is effective for annual 
periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2015  and  interim  periods  within  those  annual  periods.  Upon  adoption,  an 
entity  must  apply  the  new  guidance  retrospectively  to  all  prior  periods  presented  in  the  financial  statements.  As 
permitted, the Company early adopted this ASU beginning in the second quarter of calendar year 2015. The impact 
of this ASU reduced both long-term assets and long-term debt by $26 million at December 31, 2015. It also reduced 
long-term assets, short-term debt and long-term debt by $30 million, $3 million, and $27 million, respectively, at 
December 31, 2014. This ASU has no impact on the consolidated statements of operations or cash flows.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15 “Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation 
and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line of Credit Arrangements-Amendments to 
SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting (SEC Update).” This ASU indicates 
that  the  guidance  in  ASU  2015-03,  discussed  above,  does  not  address  presentation  or  subsequent  measurement 
of  debt  issuance  costs  related  to  line-of-credit  arrangements.  Given  the  absence  of  authoritative  guidance  within 
ASU  2015-03,  the  SEC  staff  has  indicated  that  they  would  not  object  to  an  entity  deferring  and  presenting  debt 
issuance  costs  as  an  asset  and  subsequently  amortizing  the  deferred  debt  issuance  costs  ratably  over  the  term  of 
the  line-of-credit  arrangement,  regardless  of  whether  there  are  any  outstanding  borrowings  on  the  line-of-credit 
arrangement. However, in conjunction with ASU 2015-03, the Company has elected to present debt issuance costs 
associated with its line-of-credit arrangement as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of its total debt liability 
regardless  of  whether  there  are  any  outstanding  borrowings  on  the  line-of-credit  arrangement  and  amortizing 
these costs using the straight line method over its term. This ASU has no impact on the consolidated statements of 
operations or cash flows.

In  September  2015,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2015-16,  “Business  Combinations  (Topic  805):  Simplifying  the 
Accounting  for  Measurement-Period  Adjustments,”  which  requires  that  an  acquirer  recognize  adjustments  to 
provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment 
amounts are determined. This update is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods 
beginning after December 15, 2015 with earlier adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this ASU 
during the third quarter of 2015. See Note 3 Business Combinations for additional information.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification 
of  Deferred  Taxes,”  to  simplify  the  presentation  of  deferred  taxes.  The  amendments  in  this  update  require  that 
deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current on the balance sheet. This ASU is effective for annual 
reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2016 with earlier adoption permitted. 
Companies can adopt the guidance either prospectively or retrospectively. In order to simplify the presentation of 
deferred taxes in its consolidated balance sheet, the Company elected to early adopt this ASU prospectively during 
the fourth quarter of 2015. As a result, the prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. This ASU has no impact 
on the consolidated statements of operations or cash flows.

Not Yet Effective

In May 2014, the FASB issued update 2014-9, ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The core 
principle  is  that  a  company  should  recognize  revenue  to  depict  the  transfer  of  goods  or  services  to  a  customer 
at  an  amount  that  reflects  the  consideration,  which  the  entity  expects  to  receive  in  exchange  for  those  goods  or

services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the 
Effective Date,” which deferred the effective date for all entities by one year so it is now effective for annual periods 
beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is prohibited. 
Management is still assessing the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In  April  2015,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2015-05,  “Intangibles-Goodwill  and  Other-Internal-Use  Software 
(Subtopic  350-40):  Customer’s  Accounting  for  Fees  Paid  in  a  Cloud  Computing  Arrangement.”  This  update 
provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license or should 
be  accounted  for  differently.  If  a  cloud  computing  arrangement  includes  a  software  license,  then  the  customer 
should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software 
licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for 
the  arrangement  as  a  service  contract.  The  guidance  will  not  change  generally  accepted  accounting  principles 
for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. This update is effective for annual periods, including interim 
periods  within  those  annual  periods,  beginning  after  December  15,  2015.  Entities  have  the  option  of  applying 
the guidance (1) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or 
(2) retrospectively. Management is still assessing the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” 
which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost or net 
realizable value for entities that measure inventory using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. Net realizable 
value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs 
of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 
and for interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted and the guidance must be applied prospectively after 
the date of adoption. Management is still assessing the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In  January,  2016,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2016-01,  “Financial  Instruments  -  Overall  (Subtopic  825-10): 
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 modifies how entities 
measure equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities. Under the new guidance, 
entities will have to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted under the 
equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify 
for the new practicality exception. A practicality exception will apply to those equity investments that do not have a 
readily determinable fair value and do not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value under ASC 820, 
“Fair Value Measurements”, and as such these investments may be measured at cost. ASU 2016-01 will be effective 
for  the  Company’s  fiscal  year  beginning  January  1,  2018  and  subsequent  interim  periods.  Early  adoption  of  the 
amendment in this ASU is not permitted. Amendments should be applied by means of cumulative effect adjustment 
to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities 
without readily determinable fair values including disclosure requirements should be applied prospectively to equity 
investments that exist as of the date of adoption of the ASU. Management is still assessing the impact of adoption on 
its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On October 27, 2014, the Company completed the Acquisition from MSI for a purchase price of $3.45 billion. 
The Acquisition enables the Company to further sharpen its strategic focus on providing mission-critical Enterprise 
Asset  Intelligence  solutions  for  its  customers.  Certain  assets  and  liabilities  historically  associated  with  the 
Enterprise  business  were  retained  by  MSI,  including  MSI’s  iDEN  infrastructure  business.  The  Acquisition  was 
completed pursuant to the Master Acquisition Agreement dated April 14, 2014, as amended (the “Master Acquisition 
Agreement”) and was structured as a combination of stock and asset acquisitions and a merger of certain US entities, 
resulting in 100% ownership of Enterprise.

The Company financed the Acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings of $3.25 billion

In connection with its acquisitions, the Company incurred related transaction expenses, which have been recorded 
in  acquisition  and  integration  costs  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  operations  of  approximately  $144  million, 
$127 million and $5 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In  connection  with  the  closing  of  the  Acquisition,  the  Company  issued  stock-based  awards  to  Enterprise 
employees  with  value  equivalent  to  the  unvested  portion  of  the  employees’  awards  as  of  the  date  of  close.  The 
new awards issued were in the form of performance restricted stock, performance stock units, restricted stock and 
restricted stock units. Under MSI’s legacy equity awards, in the event that an Enterprise employee’s employment 
is terminated as a result of a divestiture of the MSI business, unvested awards at the time of divestiture would vest 
on a pro rata basis through the divestiture date, with the remaining awards (or portion of awards) being forfeited. 
Consequently, the legacy MSI awards held by Enterprise employees vested pro rata up to the date of Acquisition 
and the remaining awards (or portions of awards) were forfeited. The replacement grants of equity awards by the 
Company to Enterprise employees representing the unvested (and therefore forfeited) legacy MSI awards require 
future service to be rendered to Zebra, beginning on the grant date. As a result, the fair value of the replacement 
awards is recognized as compensation cost in the post-combination financial statements, and there was no adjustment 
to the Acquisition purchase price.

Goodwill represents the consideration paid in excess of the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets 
acquired. The Company paid this premium for a number of reasons, including acquiring an experienced workforce 
and enhanced technology capabilities as further described above.

The  purchase  price  was  allocated  to  identifiable  tangible  and  intangible  assets  acquired  and  liabilities 
assumed based on their estimated fair values resulting in goodwill of $2.339 billion. See Note 9 Goodwill and Other 
Intangibles. During 2015, the Company adjusted certain preliminary values from 2014. The fair value adjustments 
resulted in an increase of $96 million in assets, an increase of $107 million in liabilities, a foreign currency translation 
adjustment of $8 million and a corresponding increase to goodwill of $3 million. Certain intangible assets including 
goodwill are denominated in foreign currency and, as such, include the effects of foreign currency translation.

As  of  December  31,  2015  and  December  31,  2014,  there  were  $20  million  of  indemnification  assets 
recorded to reflect MSI’s obligation to reimburse the Company for pre-acquisition tax liabilities, statutory bonus 
accruals, and sales incentive plan accruals assumed. The amounts were recorded in accordance with the Master 
Acquisition Agreement.

Goodwill has been assigned to the Enterprise operating segment. The amount of tax deductible goodwill is 

$103 million.

Concurrent  with  the  closing  of  the  transaction,  we  entered  into  Transition  Services  Agreements  (“TSAs”) 
with  MSI,  whereby  MSI  provides  various  services;  primarily  information  technology.  Our  costs  under  the  TSAs 
commenced in November 2014. Zebra is scheduled to exit the TSAs in October 2017, which is a 12 month extension 
from the original October 2016 exit date. The monthly cost is approximately $5 million per month. These costs are 
being reduced as we discontinue certain services and transition these services into our own processes. We incurred 
$10 million under the TSAs from October 28th through December 31, 2014 and $58 million  under  the TSA from 
January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.

During September 2015, the Company received a revised valuation report from a third party valuation firm. 
After reviewing the results of the valuation reports, the Company reduced the value of intangible assets $20 million, 
property  and  equipment  $3  million  and  deferred  revenue  $1  million  and  increased  inventory  $1  million  with 
a  corresponding  $21  million  increase  to  goodwill.  As  discussed  in  Note  2  Summary  of  Significant  Accounting 
Policies, the Company has adopted ASU 2015-16 “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting 
for Measurement-Period Adjustments,” which requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts 
that  are  identified  during  the  measurement  period  in  the  reporting  period  in  which  the  adjustment  amounts  are 
determined. The fair value, balance sheet adjustments recorded during the third quarter of 2015 and related income 
statement effects that would have been recognized in previous periods even if we had not early adopted ASU 2015-16 
are immaterial.

Hart Systems In the fourth quarter 2013, The Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interests 
in Hart Systems, LLC (a New York limited liability company) for approximately $96 million with $61 million of the 
purchase price allocated to goodwill. As of September 27, 2014 the purchase price allocation was finalized and the 
amount of goodwill was reduced to $59 million for adjustments related to deferred taxes. The Consolidated Statements 
of Operations includes the impact of this acquisition subsequent to the December 18, 2013 acquisition date.

NOTE 4 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Financial assets and liabilities are to be measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy 
in accordance with 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:

Level 2:
Level 3:

 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)
 Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
 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  and  minimize  the  use  of  unobservable  inputs  to  the  extent  possible.  In  addition,  the  Company  considers 
counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value.

(2)  The fair value of forward contracts is calculated as follows:

a. 

b. 

c. 

Fair value of a collar or put option contract associated with forecasted sales hedges is calculated using bid 
and ask rates for similar contracts.

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  period  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).  As  a  result, 
transfers  from  Level  2  to  Level  1  of  the  fair  value  hierarchy  totaled  $6  million  and  $2  million  as  of 
December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(3)  The  fair  value  of  forward  interest  rate  swap  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 own 
credit risk and the interest rate swap terms. See gross balance reporting in Note 13 Derivative Instruments.

NOTE 5 INVESTMENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Investments in marketable debt securities are classified based on intent and ability to sell investment securities. 
The  Company’s  available-for-sale  securities  are  used  to  fund  future  acquisitions  and  other  operating  needs  and 
therefore can be sold prior to maturity. Investments in marketable debt securities for which the Company intends to 
sell within the next year are classified as current and those that we intend to hold in excess of one year are classified 
as non-current.

Changes in the market value of available-for-sale securities are reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive 
income caption of stockholders’ equity in the balance sheet, until we dispose of the securities. Once these securities 
are disposed of, either by sale or maturity, the accumulated changes in market value are transferred to investment 
income. On the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, changes in the balances of available-for-sale securities are 
shown as purchases, sales and maturities of investments and marketable securities under investing activities.

Changes in market value of trading securities would be recorded in investment income as they occur, and the 

related cash flow statement includes changes in the balances of trading securities as operating cash flows.

As  of  December  31,  2015,  there  were  no  investments  and  marketable  securities.  For  the  years  ended 
December  31,  2015,  2014  and  2013,  changes  in  unrealized  gains  and  losses  on  available-for-sale  securities 
were immaterial.

Gross goodwill was $266 million and accumulated impairments were $110 million as of December 31, 2013. 
As of December 31, 2015 goodwill totaled $2.3 billion for the Enterprise reportable segment and $154 million for the 
Legacy Zebra reportable segment.

The Retail Solutions Group reporting unit had total goodwill of $59.0 million as of December 31, 2015. During 
the  fourth  quarter  of  2015,  we  finalized  the  determination  of  estimated  fair  value  of  the  Retail  Solutions  Group 
reporting unit as of the first day of the fourth quarter of 2015. The determination of fair value and the allocation of 
that value to individual assets and liabilities within the Retail Solutions Group reporting unit requires us to make 
significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to: 
the selection of appropriate peer group companies; a control premium appropriate for acquisitions in the industries 
in which the Retail Solutions Group reporting unit competes; a discount rate; a terminal growth rate; and forecasts 
of revenue, operating income, depreciation and amortization and capital expenditures. The estimate of fair value 
indicated that the fair value of the Retail Solutions Group reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 
12% as of the valuation date. Although we believe our estimate of fair value is reasonable, actual financial results 
could differ from that estimate due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making such estimate.

NOTE 13 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The  Company  conducts  business  on  a  multinational  basis  in  a  wide  variety  of  foreign  currencies;  as  such 
the Company manages these risks using derivative financial instruments. The exposure to market risk for changes 
in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates  arises  from  cross-border  financing  activities  between  subsidiaries,  and 
foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The objective is to preserve the economic value of 
non-functional currency denominated cash flows. Therefore, the goal is to hedge transaction exposures with natural 
offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through foreign exchange 
forward and option contracts with third parties.

The Company entered into a credit agreement, which provides for a term loan of $2.2 billion (“Term Loan”) and 
a revolving credit facility of $250 million (“Revolving Credit Facility”). See Note 14 Long-Term Debt. As such, the 
Company has exposure to market risk for changes in interest expense calculated off of variable interest rates on the 
term facility that was used to fund the Acquisition. The Company entered into forward interest rate swaps to hedge 
a portion of the interest rate risk associated with the Term Loan.

The fair value of the forward starting interest rate swap contracts is estimated using market quoted forward 
interest  rates  for  the  London  Interbank  Offered  Rate  (“LIBOR”)  at  the  balance  sheet  date  and  the  application  of 
such  rates  subject  to  the  interest  rate  swap  terms.  In  accordance  with  ASC  815  “Derivative  and  Hedging,”  the 
Company recognizes derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measures them 
at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the 
derivative and whether it is designated as and qualifies for hedge accounting. 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.

Credit and Market Risk

Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose the Company to counterparty credit risk for nonperformance 
and to market risk related to interest and currency exchange rates. The Company manages its exposure to counterparty 
credit risk through specific minimum credit standards, diversification of counterparties, and procedures to monitor 
concentrations  of  credit  risk.  Its  counterparties  in  derivative  transactions  are  commercial  banks  with  significant 
experience using derivative instruments. The Company monitors the impact of market risk on the fair value and 
cash  flows  of  its  derivative  and  other  financial  instruments  considering  reasonably  possible  changes  in  interest 
rates and currency exchange rates and restricts the use of derivative financial instruments to hedging activities. The 
Company continually monitors the creditworthiness of its customers to which it grants credit terms in the normal 
course of business. The terms and conditions of the Company’s credit sales are designed to mitigate or eliminate 
concentrations of credit risk with any single customer.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The Company has determined that derivative instruments for hedges that have traded but have not settled are 
considered Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, and hedges that have not traded are considered Level 2 in the fair value 
hierarchy. Derivative instruments are used to manage risk and are not used for trading or other speculative purposes, 
nor does the Company use leveraged derivative financial instruments. The foreign currency exchange contracts are 
valued using broker quotations or market transactions, in either the listed or over-the-counter markets.

Hedging of Monetary Net Assets

The Company uses forward contracts to manage exposure related to its British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Czech 
Koruna, Brazilian Real, Malaysian Ringgit and Euro denominated net assets. Forward contracts typically mature 
within  three  months  after  execution  of  the  contracts.  The  Company  records  monetary  gains  and  losses  on  these 
contracts  and  options  in  income  each  quarter  along  with  the  transaction  gains  and  losses  related  to  its  net  asset 
positions, which would ordinarily offset each other.

Summary financial information related to these activities included in the Company’s consolidated statements 

of operations as other (expense) income is as follows (in millions):

Realized gain (loss) from foreign exchange derivatives . . . . . . .
(Loss) gain on net foreign currency assets  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Hedging of Anticipated Sales

The Company manages the exchange rate risk of anticipated Euro denominated sales using put options, forward 
contracts, and participating forwards. The Company designates these contracts as cash flow hedges, which mature 
within twelve months after the execution of the contracts. Gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in other 
comprehensive income until the contracts are settled and the hedged sales are realized. The deferred gain or loss will 
then be reported as an increase or decrease to sales.

Forward Interest Rate Swaps

The forward interest rate swaps hedge the interest rate risk associated with the variable interest payments on 

the Company’s Term Loan that was used to fund the Acquisition.

In  June  2014,  the  Company  entered  into  a  commitment  letter  for  a  new  variable  rate  credit  facility  to  fund 
the  Acquisition  and  also  entered  into  two  tranches  of  floating-to-fixed  forward  interest  rate  swaps  (“Original 
Swaps”).  These  Original  Swaps  were  used  to  economically  hedge  interest  rate  risk  associated  with  the  variable 
rate commitment until July 30, 2014, and as such, changes in their fair value were recognized in earnings in other 
(expense) income. Effective July 30, 2014, the Original Swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate 
exposure associated with variability in future cash flows on the variable rate commitment. On October 27, 2014, 
the  variable  rate  commitment  was  funded  and  the  Company  entered  into  a  Term  Loan  that  accrues  interest  at  a 
variable rate of LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.75% per annum) plus a margin of 4.0%. On October 30, 2014, the 
Company discontinued hedge accounting for the Original Swaps due to the syndication of the Original Swaps to a 
group of commercial banks, (“Syndicated Swaps”), which resulted in their termination. The changes in fair value 
of  the  Original  Swaps  between  July  30,  2014  and  their  termination  were  included  in  other  comprehensive  (loss) 
income, and any ineffectiveness was insignificant. The amounts included in other comprehensive (loss) income will 
be amortized to earnings in other (expense) income as the interest payments under the Term Loan affect earnings. 
The Syndicated Swaps were not designated as hedges and the changes in fair value are recognized in earnings in 
other (expense) income.

On November 20, 2014, the Company entered into additional floating-to-fixed forward starting interest rate 
swaps (“New Swaps”) and designated these as cash flow hedges of interest rate exposure associated with variability 
in future cash flows on its Term Loan. To offset the impact to earnings of the changes in fair value of the Syndicated 
Swaps, the Company also entered into fixed-to-floating forward starting interest rate swaps (“Offsetting Swaps”), 
which were not designated in a hedging relationship and the changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings 
in other income (expense). Changes in fair value of the New Swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges and

No significant (loss) gain was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income into interest 
expense on the forward interest rate swaps designated in a hedging relationship during the years ended December 31, 
2015 and 2014.

At December 31, 2015, the Company has approximately $11 million in losses on the forward interest rate swaps 
designated  in  a  hedging  relationship  that  are  being  reclassified  from  accumulated  other  comprehensive  loss  into 
earnings during the next four quarters.

NOTE 14 LONG-TERM DEBT

Private Offering

On October 15, 2014, the Company completed a private offering of $1.05 billion aggregate principal of 7.25% 
Senior Notes due October 15, 2022 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes yielded an effective interest rate of 7.61% 
at issuance. The Senior Notes are governed by the terms of the indenture, dated as of October 15, 2014, by and among 
the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable in cash on 
April 15 and October 15 of each year.

The indenture covering the Senior Notes contains certain covenants limiting among other things, the ability 
of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries, with certain exceptions as described in the Indenture, to: (i) incur 
indebtedness or issue certain preferred stock; (ii) incur liens; (iii) pay dividends or make distributions in respect 
of capital stock; (iv) purchase or redeem capital stock; (v) make investments or certain other restricted payments; 
(vi) sell assets; (vii) issue or sell stock of restricted subsidiaries; (viii) enter into transactions with stockholders or 
affiliates; or (ix) effect a consolidation or merger.

The Senior Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior and unsecured basis by its direct and indirect 
wholly-owned existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The Senior Notes 
rank equal in right of payment to all of our existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated obligations. The Senior 
Notes are effectively subordinated to the secured obligations of the Company and subsidiaries to the extent of the 
value of the assets securing such obligations.

Credit Facilities

On  October  27,  2014,  the  Company  entered  into  a  credit  agreement,  which  provides  for  a  term  loan  of 
$2.2  billion  and  a  revolving  credit  facility  of  $250  million.  Borrowings  under  the  Term  Loan  bear  interest  at  a 
variable rate plus an applicable margin, subject to an all-in floor of 4.75%. As of December 31 2015, the Term Loan 
interest rate was 4.75%. Interest payments are payable quarterly. The Company has entered into interest rate swaps 
to manage interest rate risk on its long-term debt. See Note 13 Derivative Instruments.

The credit agreement requires the Company to prepay the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility, under 
certain  circumstances  or  transactions  defined  in  the  credit  agreement.  Also,  the  Company  may  make  optional 
prepayments  of  the  Term  Loans,  in  whole  or  in  part,  without  premium  or  penalty.  The  Company  made  optional 
principal prepayments of $165 million in 2015. In February 2016, the Company made additional optional principal 
prepayments of $80 million. Unless satisfied by further optional prepayments, the Company is required to make a 
scheduled principal payment of $1.99 billion due on October 27, 2021.

The Revolving Credit Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes including 
letters  of  credit.  The  amount  (including  letters  of  credit)  cannot  exceed  $250  million.  As  of  December  31,  2015, 
the Company established letters of credit totaling $3 million, which reduced funds available for other borrowings 
under the agreement to $247 million. The Revolving Credit Facility will mature and the related commitments will 
terminate on October 27, 2019.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate plus an applicable margin. As of 
December 31, 2015, the Revolving Credit Facility interest rate was 3.25%. Interest payments are payable quarterly. 
As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any borrowings against the Revolving 
Credit Facility.

In  addition  to  paying  interest  on  outstanding  principal  amounts  under  the  Revolving  Credit  Facility,  the 
Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee to the lenders with respect to the unutilized commitments. 
The  commitment  fee  rate  is  currently  0.375%.  The  commitment  fee  rate  will  be  adjusted  to  0.250%,  0.375%  or 
0.500% depending on the Company’s consolidated total secured net leverage ratio.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain covenants limiting among other things, the ability of the Company 
and  its  restricted  subsidiaries,  with  certain  exceptions  as  described  in  the  agreement,  to:  (i)  incur  indebtedness, 
make guarantees or issue certain equity securities; (ii) pay dividends on its capital stock or redeem, repurchase or 
retire its capital stock; (iii) make certain investments, loans and acquisitions; (iv) sell certain assets or issue capital 
stock of restricted subsidiaries; (v) create liens or engage in sale-leaseback transactions; (vi) merge, consolidate or 
transfer or dispose of substantially all of their assets; (vii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (viii) alter 
the business it conducts; (ix) amend, prepay, redeem or purchase subordinated debt; and (x) enter into agreements 
limiting subsidiary dividends and distributions. The Revolving Credit Facility also requires the Company to comply 
with a financial covenant consisting of a quarterly maximum consolidated total secured net leverage ratio test that 
will be tested only at the end of the fiscal quarter if 20% of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility 
have been drawn and remain outstanding.

The Term Loan and obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are collateralized by a security interest 
in substantially all of the Company’s assets as defined in the security agreement and guaranteed by its direct and 
indirect wholly-owned existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

Debt issue costs of $26 million were recorded as of December 31, 2015; $19 million relates to the Senior Notes, 
$2 million relates to the Term Loan, and $5 million relates to the Revolver. These costs are amortized over 8, 7 and 
7 years, respectively.

The Company entered into a bridge financing facility prior to the Acquisition, to ensure financing would be in 
place to consummate the transaction. Upon the closing of the Acquisition, at which time the Company had secured 
other long-term financing, the Company incurred $19 million of costs related to the bridge financing facility, which 
are included in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The estimated fair value of our long-term debt approximated $3.1 billion at December 31, 2015 and $3.3 billion 
at  December  31,  2014.  These  fair  value  amounts  represent  the  estimated  value  at  which  the  Company’s  lenders 
could  trade  its  debt  within  the  financial  markets  and  does  not  represent  the  settlement  value  of  these  long-term 
debt  liabilities  to  the  Company.  The  fair  value  of  the  long-term  debt  will  continue  to  vary  each  period  based  on 
fluctuations in market interest rates, as well as changes to the Company’s credit ratings. This methodology resulted 
in a Level 2 classification in the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 16 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 its potential effects may change in the future.

In re Technologies, Inc. Securities Litigation

In  connection  with  the  acquisition  of  the  Enterprise  business  from  Motorola  Solutions,  Inc.,  the  Company 
acquired Symbol Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Motorola Solutions. A putative federal class action lawsuit, Waring 
v. Symbol Technologies, Inc., et al., (“Waring Action”) was filed on August 16, 2005 against Symbol Technologies, 
Inc. and two of its former officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York by Robert 
Waring. After the filing of the Waring Action, several additional purported class actions were filed against Symbol 
and the same former officers making substantially similar allegations (collectively, the “New Class Actions”). The 
Waring  Action  and  the  New  Class  Actions  were  consolidated  for  all  purposes  and  on  April  26,  2006,  the  Court 
appointed the Iron Workers Local # 580 Pension Fund as lead plaintiff and approved its retention of lead counsel 
on behalf of the putative class. On August 30, 2006, the lead plaintiff filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action 
Complaint (the “Amended Complaint”), and named additional former officers and directors of Symbol as defendants. 
The  lead  plaintiff  alleges  that  the  defendants  misrepresented  the  effectiveness  of  Symbol’s  internal  controls  and 
forecasting processes, and that, as a result, all of the defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the individual defendants violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The 
lead plaintiff alleges that it was damaged by the decline in the price of Symbol’s stock following certain purported 
corrective disclosures and seeks unspecified damages. By orders entered on June 25 and August 3, 2015, the court 
granted lead plaintiff’s motion for class certification, certifying a class of investors that includes those that purchased 
Symbol common stock between April 29, 2003 and August 1, 2005. The parties have substantially completed fact 
and expert discovery. However, by order entered on January 8, 2016, the court granted Symbol’s request for certain

additional fact and expert discovery; pursuant to a proposed scheduling order filed on January 21, 2016, the parties 
agreed to complete that discovery by approximately June 17, 2016. There are also certain discovery motions pending 
that could, if granted, reopen fact discovery. The court has held in abeyance all other deadlines, including for the 
filing of dispositive motions, and has not set a date for trial. The Company establishes an accrued liability for loss 
contingencies related to legal matters when the loss is both probable and estimable. In addition, for some matters for 
which a loss is probable or reasonably possible, an estimate of the amount of loss or range of loss is not possible, and 
we may be unable to estimate the possible loss or range of losses that could potentially result from the application of 
non-monetary remedies. Currently, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of reasonably possible 
losses for this matter.

Anti-dilutive securities consist primarily of stock appreciation rights (SARs) with an exercise price greater than 

the average market closing price of the Class A common stock.

Due to a net loss in 2015, options, awards and warrants were anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the 2015 
earnings per share calculation. For years 2014 and 2013, options and awards were included in the earnings per share 
calculation. These excluded outstanding options, awards and warrants are as follows:

NOTE 18 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has share-based compensation and employee stock purchase plans under which shares of the 

Company’s Class A common stock are available for future grants and sales.

On May 14, 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2015 Zebra Technologies Corporation Long-Term 
Incentive Plan (the 2015 Plan), which included authorization for issuance of awards of 4,000,000 shares. The 2015 
Plan became effective immediately and superseded the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2011 Plan), except that 
the 2011 Plan remains in effect with respect to awards granted under the 2011 Plan until such awards have been 
exercised, forfeited, cancelled, expired or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of such awards. The 
types of awards available under the 2015 Plan are stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted stock 
units, performance shares and units and performance-based cash bonuses. Employees, directors and consultants of 
the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the 2015 Plan. The Compensation Committee of the 
Board of Directors administers the 2015 Plan. As of December 31, 2015, 3,430,707 shares were available for grant 
under the 2015 plan. Under the 2015 Plan, 325,512 SARs were outstanding as of December 31, 2015.

The 2011 Plan was superseded by the 2015 Plan. As of December 31, 2015, 672,290 SARs were outstanding 
under the 2011 Plan. The SARs granted under the 2011 Plan have an exercise or grant price equal to the closing 
market price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant. SAR’s generally vest over a four year 
period. These awards expire on the earlier of (a) ten years following the grant date, (b) immediately if the employee 
is terminated for cause, (c) ninety days after termination of employment if the employee is terminated involuntarily 
other than for cause, (d) thirty days after termination of employment if the employee voluntarily terminates his or 
her employment, or (e) one year after termination of employment if the employee’s employment terminates due to 
death, disability, or retirement.

The Company’s restricted stock grants consist of time-vested restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and performance 
vested restricted stock awards (“PSAs”). The following table shows the number of RSAs and PSAs granted during 
2015 and the vesting schedule.

These RSAs and PSAs vest at each vesting date if the employee remains employed by the Company throughout 
the applicable time period, but will vest in whole or in part (as set forth in each restricted stock agreement) before 
the end of the vesting period in the event of death, disability, a change in control (as defined in the 2015 Plan), or 
termination by the Company other than for Cause, as defined in each restricted stock agreement. The restricted stock 
is forfeited in certain situations specified in the restricted stock agreement, including, if the employee’s employment 
is  terminated  by  the  Company  for  Cause  or  if  the  employee  resigns  for  other  than  good  reason.  The  Company’s 
restricted stock awards are expensed over the vesting period of the related award, which is typically 3 years. Some 
awards,  including  those  granted  annually  to  non-employee  directors  as  an  equity  retainer  fee,  were  vested  upon 
grant.  Compensation  cost  is  calculated  as  the  market  date  fair  value  on  grant  date  multiplied  by  the  number  of 
shares granted.

The 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“the 2006 Plan”) was superseded by the 2011 Plan. As of December 31, 
2015, options and SARs for 644,407 shares were outstanding and exercisable under the 2006 Plan. These options and 
SARs expire on the earlier of (a) 10 years following the grant date, or (b) immediately if the employee is terminated

The 1997 Stock Option Plan (“the 1997 Plan”) was superseded by the 2006 Plan. As of December 31, 2015, 
options for 7,655 shares were outstanding and exercisable under the 1997 Plan. These options terms are the same as 
noted in the paragraph above regarding the 2006 Plan.

On May 19, 2011 the Company’s stockholders adopted the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (which replaced 
the 2001 Stock Purchase plan) under which employees who work a minimum of 20 hours per week may elect to 
withhold up to 10% of their cash compensation through regular payroll deductions to purchase shares of Class A 
common stock from the Company over a period not to exceed 12 months at a purchase price per share, which is equal 
to the lesser of: (1) 95% of the fair market value of the shares as of the date of the grant, or (2) 95% of the fair market 
value of the shares as of the date of purchase. Stock purchase plan expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 was 
$1 million. Stock purchase plan expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was less than $1 million.

Pre-tax  share-based  compensation  expense  recognized  in  the  statements  of  operations  was  $33  million, 
$20  million  and  $13  million  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2015,  2014  and  2013,  respectively.  Tax  related 
benefits of $11 million, $7 million and $5 million were also recognized for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 
and 2013, respectively.

The fair value of share-based compensation is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial model. Volatility 
is based on an average of the implied volatility in the open market and the annualized volatility of the Company’s 
stock price over its entire stock history. Stock option grants in the table below include both stock options, all of which 
were non-qualified, and SARs that will be settled in the Class A common stock or cash. Restricted stock grants are 
valued at the market closing price on the grant date.

The following table shows the weighted-average assumptions used for grants of SARs, as well as the fair value 

of the grants based on those assumptions:

The forfeiture rate is based on the historical annualized forfeiture rate, which is consistent with prior year rates. 
The risk free interest rate used is the implied yield currently available from the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield 
curve over the contractual term of the SARs or options. The expected weighted-average life is based on historical 
exercise  behavior,  which  combines  the  average  life  of  the  SARs  or  options  that  have  already  been  exercised  or 
cancelled  with  the  exercise  life  of  all  unexercised  SARs  and  options.  The  exercise  life  of  unexercised  SARs  and 
options assumes that the SARs or option will be exercised at the midpoint of the vesting date and the full contractual 
term. These assumptions are consistent with the assumptions used in prior years.

The  terms  of  the  SARs  are  established  under  the  applicable  Plan  and  the  applicable  SAR  agreement.  Once 
vested, a SAR entitles the holder to receive a payment equal to the difference between the per-share grant price of 
the SAR and the fair market value of a share of Class A common stock on the date the SAR is exercised, multiplied 
by the number of SARs exercised. Exercised SARs are settled in whole shares of Class A common stock, and any 
fraction of a share is settled in cash. Vesting of SARs granted in 2015 is as follows: 332,159 SARs vest annually in 
four equal amounts on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. Vesting of SARs granted in 2014 is as 
follows: 195,560 SARs vest annually in four equal amounts on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. 
All SARs expire 10 years after the grant date.

NOTE 19 INCOME TAXES

The Company recognized a tax benefit of $27 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to a 
tax benefit of $15 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company’s effective tax rates were 16.1% and 
(95.0)% as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was lower 
than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to pre-tax losses in the United States and corporate structure 
alignment initiatives in various non-US jurisdictions.

The primary reason for the difference between the US statutory rate of 35% and the Company’s effective tax 
rate is due to a combination of higher profits in lower rate international jurisdictions, research and experimental 
credits, foreign tax credits and other items. The significant jurisdictions driving the foreign rate differential are the 
UK, Singapore and Luxembourg. The US impact of Enterprise acquisition and integration of $45 million includes 
one-time charges of approximately $32 million.

acquired unrepatriated earnings related to the Enterprise acquisition, it is the Company’s policy to consider foreign 
earnings and profits to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. As part of the Enterprise acquisition, the 
acquired earnings & profits and previously taxed income (“PTI”), including excess cash balances pursuant to the 
Master Acquisition Agreement (“MAA”) of the newly acquired MSI foreign subsidiaries will not be permanently 
reinvested.  As  a  result,  the  Company  established  a  deferred  tax  liability  in  purchase  accounting  in  the  amount 
of  approximately  $3  million.  This  amount  was  reversed  in  2015.  The  Company  has  not  recognized  deferred  tax 
liabilities  for  unremitted  earnings  of  approximately  $720  million  and  $466  million  as  of  December  31,  2015  and 
2014,  respectively.  It  is  not  practicable  to  determine  the  amount  of  unrecognized  deferred  tax  liabilities  on  these 
indefinitely reinvested earnings.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $37 million of net operating losses (“NOLs”) and 
tax credits from MSI. Of this amount, the Company has utilized approximately $35 million of NOLs and tax credits 
against  its  US  tax  liability  in  2015  and  written  off  approximately  $2  million  of  these  tax  credits.  The  Company 
has  elected  to  capitalize  and  amortize  approximately  $139  million  of  research  and  experimentation  costs  and 
approximately $120 million of software costs in the US. At December 31, 2015, the Company has approximately $450 
million of NOLs and approximately $35 million of credit carryforwards. Of this amount, approximately $100 million 
of NOLs and $33 million of credit carryforwards are expected to expire by 2035 and approximately $350 million of 
NOLs and $2 million of credit carryforwards will carry forward indefinitely.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in millions):

At  December  31,  2015  and  December  31,  2014,  there  are  $23  million  and  $19  million  of  unrecognized  tax 
benefits that if recognized would affect the annual effective tax rate. The Company anticipates that it is reasonably 
possible that $4 million of unrecognized tax benefits may reverse in 2016, due to statute of limitation expiration and 
settlements with the tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the reasonableness of the unrecognized tax 
benefits to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes; however there can be no assurance on the final 
determination of these unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters as 
part of income tax expense. The Company accrued $3 million of interest and penalties in the consolidated balance 
sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.

The Company is currently undergoing audits of the 2013 and 2014 US federal income tax returns and its 2012 
UK tax return. The tax years 2011 through 2015 remain open to examination by multiple state taxing jurisdictions.

NOTE 20 OTHER COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS) INCOME

Stockholders’ equity includes certain items classified as other comprehensive income (loss), including:
•  Unrealized (loss) gain on anticipated sales hedging transactions relate 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 13 Derivative Instruments.

•  Unrealized (loss) gain on forward interest rate swaps hedging transactions refer to the hedging of the 
interest rate risk exposure associated with the variable rate commitment entered into for the Acquisition. 
See Note 13 Derivative Instruments for more details.

•  Unrealized  (loss)  gain  on  investments  are  deferred  from  the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations 

recognition until the gains or losses are realized.

• 

Foreign currency translation adjustment relates 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  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 other comprehensive income.

NOTE 21 SEGMENT INFORMATION AND GEOGRAPHIC DATA

Prior  to  the  Acquisition  on  October  27,  2014,  the  Company’s  operations  were  within  1  reportable  segment. 
As a result of the Acquisition, the company has realigned its operations into 2 reportable segments; Legacy Zebra 
and Enterprise.

The  operating  segments  have  been  identified  based  on  the  financial  data  utilized  by  the  Company’s  Chief 
Executive  Officer  (the  chief  operating  decision  maker)  to  assess  segment  performance  and  allocate  resources 
among  the  Company’s  segments.  The  chief  operating  decision  maker  used  adjusted  operating  income  to  access 
segment profitability.

The accounting policies of the segments are in accordance with Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting 
Policies. Segment assets are not reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker and therefore are not 
disclosed below.

Financial information by segment is presented as follows:

collectively known as “Rent.” Subtenant’s obligation to pay Rent shall be an independent covenant of every 
other covenant or obligation hereunder. Rent shall be due as specified within this Sublease, and if not otherwise

approval shall be deemed given if the Prime Landlord has given its consent or approval.

7. Assignment and Sub-subletting. Subtenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which 
Sublandlord consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Prime Landlord, which consent 
may be granted or withheld in accordance with the terms of the Prime Lease: (i) assign this Sublease or any of its 
rights hereunder; (ii) further sublet the Sublease Premises or any part thereof to any other person or entity; (ii) permit

Lease. Neither the consent by Sublandlord or Prime Landlord to any assignment, transfer or sub-subletting, nor the 
acceptance or collection of rent from any assignee, transferee or sub-subtenant, shall be construed as a release of 
Subtenant from liability for each and every term or obligation of this Sublease. No consent by Sublandlord or Prime 
Landlord to any assignment, transfer or sub-subletting in any one instance shall constitute a waiver of the necessity 
for such consent in any subsequent instance. Any attempted assignment or sub-subletting of the Sublease Premises 
by Subtenant in violation of the terms and provisions of this Section 7 shall be void and of no force and effect. In 
the event that the consideration received by Subtenant for any sublease or assignment is in excess of the Base Rent 
or Additional Rent due under Section 5(c) of this Sublease, then Sublandlord and Subtenant shall share the excess 
amounts received by Subtenant (50% to Sublandlord and 50% to Subtenant following the reimbursement by Subtenant 
of all expenses incurred by Subtenant in connection with such assignment or subletting), and otherwise according 
to the calculation set forth in Section 13(f) of the Prime Lease (but based upon the Base Rent and Additional Rent of 
this Sublease).

or  consolidated,  in  accordance  with  applicable  statutory  provisions  governing  merger  and  consolidation  of 
business entities, so long as:

 (1) Subtenant’s obligations hereunder are assumed, by operation of law (reasonably documented 
by Subtenant to Sublandlord) or by written assumption, by the entity surviving such merger or 
created by such consolidation; and

(2) either:

 (i) the Tangible Net Worth of the surviving or created entity is not less than the 
Tangible Net Worth of Subtenant immediately preceding such transaction; or

 (ii) immediately following such Transfer Subtenant is deemed to Meet Minimum 
Rating (as defined below); or

controlled by, or is under common control with the party in question.

construed  in  accordance  with  the  laws  of  the  State  of  Illinois.  If  any  provision  of  this  Sublease  conflicts  with  a 
provision of the Prime Lease, the provisions of the Prime Lease shall govern. Subtenant specifically waives all claims 
against Sublandlord arising out of any such conflicts.

19. Entry by Sublandlord. Subtenant shall permit Sublandlord and Prime Landlord or their authorized agent or 
representative  entry  into  the  Sublease  Premises  upon  twenty-four  (24)  hours  prior  notice  at  reasonable  times  (or 
at any time in the event of an emergency in which case no prior notice shall be required), in accordance with the 
provisions of the Prime Lease, for the purpose of entering to make necessary repairs required to be made under the 
Sublease or the Prime Lease and for other purposes specified in the Prime Lease or pursuant to any other rights under 
the Prime Lease.

20. Binding Effect. This Sublease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Sublandlord and Subtenant and 
their respective successors and permitted assigns. Sublandlord shall have the right to assign any or all of its rights 
and powers under this Sublease to Prime Landlord.

21. Holding Over. If Subtenant retains possession of the Sublease Premises after the expiration of the Term without 
the written consent of the Prime Landlord, Subtenant (i) shall pay to Sublandlord for each month, or portion thereof, 
of  such  holdover  period  as  rent  therefor  an  amount  equal  to  the  amount  of  holdover  rent  and  other  charges  that 
Sublandlord is obligated to pay pursuant to Section 10 of the Prime Lease, and (ii) shall, except as may be prohibited by 
law, indemnify Sublandlord and Prime Landlord for any and all liability, claims or damages incurred by Sublandlord 
and Prime Landlord as a result thereof. Sublandlord shall have no obligation to extend the term of the Prime Lease 
or this Sublease beyond the Termination Date.

22. Insurance. Subtenant, at its sole expense, shall obtain and keep in force the insurance required to be carried by 
Sublandlord as Tenant under the Prime Lease.

23. Fire, Casualty or Eminent Domain. In the event of a fire or other casualty affecting the Building or the Sublease 
Premises, or of a taking of all or part of the Building or Sublease Premises under the power of eminent domain, in 
addition to any other applicable provision of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall take all reasonable actions provided 
for under the Prime Lease necessary to keep the Prime Lease from being terminated and require Prime Landlord to 
restore the Building, unless Subtenant elects in writing to allow Sublandlord to terminate the Prime Lease. In such 
latter event, this Sublease shall automatically terminate without any liability to Sublandlord. In the event Sublandlord 
is  entitled,  under  the  Prime  Lease,  to  a  rent  abatement  as  a  result  of  a  fire  or  other  casualty  or  as  a  result  of  a 
taking under the power of eminent domain, then Subtenant shall be entitled to a corresponding proportionate rent 
abatement applicable to the Sublease Premises under this Sublease. All obligations under the Prime Lease imposed 
on Sublandlord, as “Tenant” thereunder, to repair or restore leasehold improvements, alterations, fixtures, personal 
property, furniture, or any other portion of the Sublease Premises with respect to a casualty occurring during the 
Sublease Term, shall be the responsibility of Subtenant.

24. Non-Merger. Nothing herein shall be construed to merge the interests of Sublandlord and Subtenant, whether by 
operation of law or otherwise.

25. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease.

26. Parking. Subtenant shall be entitled to use, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Prime Lease, 
Subtenant’s Proportionate Share of the Parking Spaces (as defined in the Prime Lease).

27.  Prohibited  Parties.  Sublandlord  and  Subtenant  represent  and  warrant  that,  to  their  knowledge,  they  are  not 
acting, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation named by the United States 
Treasury Department as a Specially Designated National and Blocked Person, or for or on behalf of any person, 
group,  entity,  or  nation  designated  in  Presidential  Executive  Order  13224  as  a  person  who  commits,  threatens  to 
commit, or supports terrorism; and that they are not engaged in this transaction directly or indirectly on behalf of, 
or facilitating this transaction directly or indirectly on behalf of, any such person, group, entity, or nation. Except as 
may be prohibited by law, each party hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other party from and 
against any and all claims, damages, losses, risks, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and 
costs) arising from or related to any breach of the foregoing representation and warranty.

28. Right to Expand. Subtenant shall have the ongoing option to expand the Sublease Premises into any remaining 
portion of the Premises upon the same terms and conditions as this Sublease including, but not limited to, acceptance 
of the additional Premises in “as is” condition. Subtenant may exercise this expansion option at any time upon 30 
days’ prior written notice (“Zebra Expansion Notice”). Sublandlord shall have no right to sublease any portion of the 
Premises to any other subtenant without the prior written approval of Subtenant, which shall not be unreasonably 
withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Prime Lease is terminated with respect 
to any portion of the Premises, Subtenant releases Sublandlord from any liability (economic or otherwise) for such 
portion of the Premises.

29. Execution and Delivery. This Sublease may be executed in counterparts, all of which shall be deemed a single 
Sublease. Delivery of the signed Sublease may be made by electronic delivery of a so-called “pdf” copy or by other 
electronic means.

<12345678>TO OUR INVESTORS

2015 was a very successful 

year. In our first full year 

following the acquisition 

of the Enterprise business, 

we delivered strong sales 

growth, improved profitability, 

and enhanced cash flow 

generation. We have also 

established Zebra as the global 

leader in Enterprise Asset 

Intelligence, well positioned at 

the intersection of several key 

mega-trends including mobility, 

cloud computing, and the 

Internet of Things. 

Our breadth and depth of products, services, and technologies are unmatched 
in the industry and provide enterprises with the visibility to improve productivity 
and deliver better experiences for their customers. Today, I can confidently say 
that we have become a more strategic and trusted advisor to leading enterprise 
customers and partners. Furthermore, we continue to enhance the financial 
profile of Zebra through the realization of cost synergies associated with the 
transaction, and debt pay-down. 

As we look forward, we remain focused on our four strategic priorities: 

•  Delivering Profitable Growth
•  Realizing Cost Synergies
•  De-levering the Balance Sheet
•  Operating as One Zebra

Customers in retail, manufacturing, transportation and logistics, and healthcare 
recognize the importance of our technology in achieving their long-term goals.  
This focus will continue to be critical for enterprises as they are investing for growth 
or looking to streamline their operations to improve efficiencies and profitability. 
Our healthy pipeline of innovative products and solutions will continue to make us a 
more strategic partner with customers. In terms of bolstering our financial strength, 
we expect to realize additional cost synergies in 2016, improve free cash flow, and 
further reduce debt. We will also continue to make meaningful progress on our 
transition to One Zebra as we execute on the remaining steps of our integration, 
bolster the Zebra brand, and implement our new channel partner program. 

We believe the execution of these priorities will enable achievement of our 
long-term financial goals to grow sales at least 4% - to - 5% over a cycle, expand 
adjusted EBITDA margin to 18% - to - 20% by the end of 2017, and reduce our 
net - debt - to - adjusted - EBITDA ratio to below three times.

I want to conclude by thanking our employees for their continued support and 
their tireless efforts over the last year. Without their strong commitment, we would 
not have been able to achieve integration milestones and drive continued growth 
in the business during this past year. I also want to recognize our partners and 
customers for their ongoing support. We are excited about the opportunities ahead 
of us and we look forward to providing updates on our progress.

Sincerely, 

Anders Gustafsson
