Net sales were $1,255 million in the third quarter of 2024
compared to $956 million in the prior year. Net sales in the
Enterprise Visibility & Mobility ("EVM") segment were $845
million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $632 million in
the prior year. Asset Intelligence & Tracking ("AIT") segment
net sales were $410 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared
to $324 million in the prior year. Consolidated organic net sales
for the third quarter of 2024 increased 30.6% year-over-year, with
a 33.0% increase in the EVM segment and a 25.8% increase in the AIT
segment.
Third quarter 2024 gross profit was $613 million compared to
$427 million in the prior year. Gross margin increased to 48.8% for
the third quarter of 2024 compared to 44.7% in the prior year due
to volume leverage and business mix. Adjusted gross margin was
49.1% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to 44.8% in the prior
year.
Operating expenses decreased to $422 million in the third
quarter of 2024 from $439 million in the prior year, primarily due
to lower restructuring costs and incremental savings largely
attributed to our restructuring actions, partially offset by higher
incentive compensation expense. Adjusted operating expenses
increased to $364 million in the third quarter of 2024 from $334
million in the prior year.
In the third quarter, the company completed the actions under
its previously announced Exit and Restructuring Plans generating
approximately $120 million of net annualized cost savings primarily
within Operating expenses, of which, the Company has realized $110
million in net savings to date.
Net income for the third quarter of 2024 was $137 million, or
$2.64 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $15 million, or
$0.28 loss per diluted share, in the prior year. Non-GAAP net
income increased to $181 million for the third quarter of 2024, or
$3.49 per diluted share, compared to $45 million, or $0.87 per
diluted share, for the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 was $268 million,
or 21.4% of adjusted net sales, compared to $111 million, or 11.6%
of adjusted net sales in the prior year primarily due to higher
gross margins and lower operating expense as a percentage of
revenue.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of September 28, 2024, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents of $676 million and total debt of $2,183 million.
For the first nine months of 2024, net cash provided by
operating activities was $707 million and the Company invested $41
million in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow of
$666 million. The Company also had net debt payments of $43 million
and share repurchases of $16 million in the first nine months of
2024.
Outlook
The Company expects fourth quarter sales growth between 28% and
31% compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation is
expected to have approximately a 1 percentage point favorable
impact.
Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be
approximately 22%. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are expected
to be in the range of $3.80 to $4.00. This assumes an adjusted
effective tax rate of approximately 17%.
Free cash flow for the full year is expected to be at least $850
million.
The Company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP
estimates on a forward-looking basis where it is unable to provide
a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling
items and the information is not available without unreasonable
effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the
timing or amount of the most directly comparable forward-looking
GAAP financial measure as discussed under the "Forward-Looking
Statements" caption below. This would include items that have not
yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be
reasonably predicted, and that would impact diluted net earnings
per share. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address
the probable significance of the unavailable information.
Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the
most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary
materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements, as
defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
including, without limitation, the statements regarding the
company’s outlook. Actual results may differ from those expressed
or implied in the company’s forward-looking statements. These
statements represent estimates only as of the date they were made.
Zebra undertakes no obligation, other than as may be required by
law, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events, changed
circumstances or any other reason after the date of this
release.
These forward-looking statements are based on current
expectations, forecasts and assumptions and are subject to the
risks and uncertainties inherent in Zebra’s industry, market
conditions, general domestic and international economic conditions,
and other factors. These factors include customer acceptance of
Zebra’s offerings and competitors' offerings, and the potential
effects of emerging technologies and changes in customer
requirements. The effect of global market conditions, and the
availability of credit and capital markets volatility may have
adverse effects on Zebra, its suppliers and its customers. In
addition, natural disasters, man-made disasters, public health
issues (including pandemics), and cybersecurity incidents may have
negative effects on Zebra's business and results of operations.
Zebra's ability to purchase sufficient materials, parts, and
components, and ability to provide services, software and products
to meet customer demand could negatively impact Zebra's results of
operations and customer relationships. Profits and profitability
will be affected by Zebra’s ability to control manufacturing and
operating costs. Because of its debt, interest rates and financial
market conditions may also have an adverse impact on results.
Foreign exchange rates, customs duties and trade policies may have
an adverse effect on financial results because of the large
percentage of Zebra's international sales. The impacts of changes
in foreign and domestic governmental policies, regulations, or
laws, as well as the outcome of litigation or tax matters in which
Zebra may be involved are other factors that could adversely affect
Zebra's business and results of operations. The success of
integrating acquisitions could also adversely affect profitability,
reported results and the company’s competitive position in its
industry. These and other factors could have an adverse effect on
Zebra’s sales, gross profit margins and results of operations and
increase the volatility of Zebra's financial results. When used in
this release and documents referenced, the words “anticipate,”
“believe,” “outlook,” and “expect” and similar expressions, as they
relate to the company or its management, are intended to identify
such forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of
identifying these statements. Descriptions of certain risks,
uncertainties and other factors that could adversely affect the
company’s future operations and results can be found in Zebra’s
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the
company’s most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains certain Non-GAAP financial measures,
consisting of “adjusted net sales,” “adjusted gross profit,”
“adjusted gross margin,” “EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted
EBITDA margin,” “Adjusted EBITDA % of adjusted net sales,”
“Non-GAAP net income,” “Non-GAAP earnings per share,” “Non-GAAP
diluted earnings per share,” “free cash flow,” “organic net sales,”
“organic net sales growth,” “organic net sales growth (decline),”
“organic net sales (decline) growth,” and “adjusted operating
expenses.” Management presents these measures to focus on the
on-going operations and believes it is useful to investors because
they enable them to perform meaningful comparisons of past and
present operating results. The company believes it is useful to
present non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude certain
significant items, as a means to understand the performance of its
ongoing operations and how management views the business. Please
see the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures”
tables and accompanying disclosures at the end of this press
release for more detailed information regarding non-GAAP financial
measures herein, including the items reflected in adjusted net
earnings calculations. These measures, however, should not be
construed as an alternative to any other measure of performance
determined in accordance with GAAP.
The company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP
estimates on a forward-looking basis (including the information
under “Outlook” above) where it is unable to provide a meaningful
or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the
information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is
due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount
of various items that have not yet occurred, are out of the
company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and that
would impact diluted net earnings per share, the most directly
comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure. For the same
reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance
of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial
measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP
financial measures.
As a global company, Zebra's operating results reported in U.S.
dollars are affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations
because the underlying foreign currencies in which the company
transacts change in value over time compared to the U.S. dollar;
accordingly, the company presents certain organic growth financial
information, which includes impacts of foreign currency
translation, to provide a framework to assess how the company’s
businesses performed excluding the impact of foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign currency impact represents the
difference in results that are attributable to fluctuations in the
currency exchange rates used to convert the results for businesses
where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. This impact
is calculated by translating current period results at the currency
exchange rates used in the comparable period in the prior year,
rather than the exchange rates in effect during the current period.
In addition, the company excludes the impact of its foreign
currency hedging program in the prior year periods. The company
believes these measures should be considered a supplement to and
not in lieu of the company’s performance measures calculated in
accordance with GAAP.

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

Represents adjustments to GAAP income tax
expense commensurate with pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments (including
the resulting impacts to U.S. BEAT/GILTI provisions), as well as
adjustments to exclude the impacts of certain discrete income tax
items and incorporate the anticipated annualized effects of current
year tax planning.
(3)
For GAAP purposes, in periods of a net
loss, restricted stock and performance share awards, which are
participating securities, are excluded from weighted-average shares
outstanding and all unvested share-based awards were anti-dilutive
and therefore excluded from diluted shares. For the three months
ended September 30, 2023, Non-GAAP basic and diluted weighted
average shares outstanding were 51,344,065 and 51,696,702,
respectively.

(1)
Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is
defined as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities in a
period minus purchases of property, plant and equipment (capital
expenditures) made in that period. This measure does not represent
residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures as the
measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and
other contractual obligations or payments for future business
acquisitions. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free
cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to
our entire statements of cash flows.
