NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Management prepared these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for Zebra Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries (“Zebra”) according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. These financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Zebra’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 included in this Form 10-Q is taken from the audited consolidated balance sheet in our Form 10-K. These interim financial statements include all adjustments (of a normal, recurring nature) necessary to present fairly Zebra’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2012, the consolidated statement of earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, and consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011. These results, however, are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Reclassifications. Prior-period amounts will differ from amounts previously reported because certain immaterial amounts in the prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities are to be measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is based on 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. Zebra uses a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs (i.e. U.S. Treasuries and money market funds).

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value. Included in our investment portfolio at June 30, 2012, is an auction rate security which is classified as available for sale and is reflected at fair value. Due to events in credit markets, however, the auction event for the instrument held by Zebra is failed. Therefore, the fair value of this security is estimated utilizing broker quotations, discounted cash flow analysis or other types of valuation adjustment methodologies at June 30, 2012. These analyses consider, among other items, the collateral underlying the security instruments, the creditworthiness of the counterparty, the timing of expected future cash flows, estimates of the next time the security is expected to have a successful auction, and Zebra’s intent and ability to hold such securities until credit markets improve. The security was also compared, when possible, to other securities with similar characteristics.

The decline in the market value of our auction rate security discussed above is considered temporary and has been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income loss on Zebra’s balance sheet. Since Zebra has the intent and ability to hold this auction rate security until it is sold at auction, redeemed at carrying value or reaches maturity, we have classified it as a long-term investment on the balance sheet.

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

 

  a. Fair value of forward collar contract associated with forecasted sales hedges are calculated using the midpoint of ask and bid rates for similar contracts.

 

  b. Fair value of regular forward contracts associated with forecasted sales hedges are calculated using the period-end exchange rate adjusted for the discount rate (3 month LIBOR rate).

 

  c. Fair value of balance sheet hedges are calculated at the period end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points unless the hedge has been traded but not settled at period end. If this is the case, the fair value is calculated at the rate at which the hedge is being settled.

Note 3 – Investments and Marketable Securities

We classify our investments in marketable debt securities as available-for-sale. As of June 30, 2012, all of our investments in marketable debt securities with maturities greater than one year are classified as long-term investments on the balance sheet due to our ability and intent to hold them until maturity.

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 statement 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 statement of cash flows would include changes in the balances of trading securities as operating cash flows. See Note 15 Other Comprehensive Income.

Included in Zebra’s cash and investments and marketable securities are amounts held by foreign subsidiaries which are generally invested in U.S. dollar-denominated holdings. Zebra had foreign cash and investments of $138,655,000 as of June 30, 2012, and $96,829,000 as of December 31, 2011. Amounts held by foreign subsidiaries are generally subject to U.S. income taxation upon repatriation, however, Zebra does not intend to repatriate these funds.

We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment exist. Factors considered that may trigger an impairment review consist of:

 

   

Significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results,

 

   

Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business,

 

   

Significant negative industry or economic trends,

 

   

Significant decline in Zebra’s stock price for a sustained period, and

 

   

Significant decline in market capitalization relative to net book value.

If we believe that one or more of the above indicators of impairment have occurred, we perform an impairment test. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. We generally determine the fair value of our reporting units using three valuation methods: Income Approach – Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, Market Approach – Guideline Public Company Method, and Market Approach – Comparative Transactions Method. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, we perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill.

We performed our annual impairment test in June 2012 and determined that our goodwill was not impaired as of the end of May 2012. See Valuation of Goodwill under Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for specific information regarding the sensitivities surrounding the goodwill impairment test.

Note 7 – Costs Associated with Exit and Restructuring Activities

In January 2011, we announced an agreement to sell a significant portion of the Zebra Enterprise Solutions (ZES) segment, which primarily consisted of Navis, to Cargotec Corporation. We retained the Location Solutions products from the former ZES, which included active RFID real-time location solutions and associated tags and readers. In the first quarter of 2011, we also announced a plan to consolidate any remaining administrative and accounting functions from the former ZES into our corporate facilities in Illinois. The costs for 2011 below represent the costs related to the consolidation and relocation of the administrative and accounting functions. We do not anticipate costs in 2012 related to this restructuring.

Note 8 – Derivative Instruments

In the normal course of business, portions of our operations are subject to fluctuations in currency values. Zebra Technologies Corporation and its principal subsidiaries are all designated US dollar functional currency. Certain other subsidiaries are designated in functional local currency due to legal requirements or the nature of their business.

We manage these currency risks using derivative financial instruments. Our exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from international financing activities between subsidiaries, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and transactions arising from international trade. Our objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency denominated cash flows. We attempt 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.

Credit and market risk

Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose us to counter party credit risk for nonperformance and to market risk related to interest and currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific minimum credit standards, diversification of counterparties, and procedures to monitor concentrations of credit risk. Our counterparties in derivative transactions are commercial banks with significant experience using derivative instruments. We monitor the impact of market risk on the fair value and cash flows of our derivative and other financial instruments considering reasonably possible changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates and restrict the use of derivative financial instruments to hedging activities.

We continually monitor the creditworthiness of our customers to which we grant credit terms in the normal course of business. The terms and conditions of our credit sales are designed to mitigate or eliminate concentrations of credit risk with any single customer.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

Zebra 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 do we use leveraged derivative financial instruments. Our foreign currency exchange contracts are valued using broker quotations or market transactions, in either the listed or over-the-counter markets.

Hedging of Net Assets

We use forward contracts and options to manage exposure related to our pound and euro-denominated net assets. Forward contracts typically mature within three months after execution of the contracts. We record gains and losses on these contracts and options in income each quarter along with the transaction gains and losses related to our net asset positions, which would ordinarily offset each other.

Hedging of Anticipated Sales

We manage the exchange rate risk of anticipated euro-denominated sales using purchased options, forward contracts, participating forwards and option collars. We designate 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 gains or losses will then be reported as an increase or decrease to sales.

Note 10 – Contingencies

We are 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. We currently believe that the outcomes of such proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our business, cash flows, financial position, or results of operations. Any legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and management’s view of these matters and their potential effects may change in the future.

Cash flows resulting from the tax benefits of tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized (excess tax benefits) are classified as financing cash flows in the statement of cash flows. The tax benefits classified as financing cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $1,358,000 and for the six months ended July 2, 2011 was $1,234,000.

The fair value of equity-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 Zebra stock prices over our entire stock history. Grants in the tables below include both stock options, all of which were non-qualified, and stock appreciation rights (SAR) that will be settled in Zebra stock. 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 terms of the SARs are established under either the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan or the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plans”) and the applicable SAR agreement. Once vested, a SAR entitles the holder to receive a payment equal to the difference between the per-share base price of the SAR and the fair market value of a share of Zebra stock on the date the SAR is exercised, multiplied by the number of SARs exercised. Exercised SARs are settled in whole shares of Zebra stock, and any fraction of a share is settled in cash. The SARs granted typically vest annually in four equal amounts on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, with some SARs vesting over a period of five years and SAR’s granted in 2012 to non-employee directors being fully vested upon grant. All SARs expire 10 years after the grant date.

Note 14 – Income Taxes

Zebra has identified, evaluated, and measured the amount of income tax benefits to be recognized for all of our income tax positions. Included in deferred tax assets are amounts related to federal and state net operating losses that resulted from our acquisition of WhereNet Corp in 2007. We intend to utilize these net operating loss carryforwards to offset future income taxes.

Zebra earns a significant amount of our operating income outside of the U.S., which is deemed to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. Zebra does not intend to repatriate funds, however, should Zebra require more capital in the U.S. than is generated by our operations locally, Zebra could elect to repatriate funds held in foreign jurisdictions or raise capital in the U.S. through debt or equity issuances. These alternatives could result in higher effective tax rates or increased interest expense.

U.S. federal tax returns for years 2008 through 2010 are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service. The tax years 2008 through 2010 remain open to examination by multiple state taxing jurisdictions. Tax authorities in the United Kingdom have completed income tax audits for tax years through 2006.

Zebra’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, we did not accrue any interest or penalties into income tax expense.

Effective tax rate

     23.6     28.3     25.8     30.2

Zebra’s estimates of taxes for interim periods are based upon the annual effective tax rate for the full-year, adjusted for any discrete items that relate to an interim period. The estimated annual effective tax rate is determined using projections of full-year taxable income by each Zebra legal entity with the appropriate statutory tax rate for that subsidiary applied. The effective rate may change during the year, typically due to the change in our estimated taxable income by jurisdiction as each year progresses.

The 2012 tax rate decline reflects the implementation of a new structure for Zebra’s international subsidiaries which has contributed to reducing the effective tax rate by 3.3% in the second quarter. In addition, the statutory tax rate in the UK was also reduced in 2012. Zebra’s rate in 2011 included a tax valuation allowance in the first quarter of 2011 against a subsequently disposed subsidiary.

Note 15 – Other Comprehensive Income

Stockholders’ equity includes certain items classified as accumulated other comprehensive income, including:

 

   

Unrealized gains (losses) on hedging transactions relate to derivative instruments used to hedge the currency exchange rates for forecasted euro sales. These hedges are designated as cash flow hedges, and we have deferred income statement recognition of gains and losses until the hedged transaction occurs. See Note 8 for more details.

 

   

Unrealized gains (losses) on investments are deferred from income statement recognition until the gains or losses are realized.

 

   

Foreign currency translation adjustment relates to our non-U.S. subsidiary companies that have designated a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. We are 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 16 – New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued update 2011-05, ASC 220, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income and in December 2011, the FASB issued update 2011-12, ASC 220, Comprehensive Income: Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. ASU No. 2011-12 is to defer only those changes in ASU No. 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments, while the Board is re-deliberating; entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU No. 2011-05. All other requirements in ASU No. 2011-05 are not affected by ASU No. 2011-12, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this standard moved the Other Comprehensive Income statement disclosure from our footnote to its own financial statement for our 10-Q filings in 2012.

Table of Contents

In September 2011, the FASB issued update 2011-08, ASC 350, Intangibles Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This updated guidance simplifies how companies test goodwill for impairment. Essentially, companies are no longer required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more-likely-than-not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount using a qualitative assessment. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this standard did not have any effect upon our consolidated financial statements.

Note 17 Discontinued Operations

Sale of Navis, LLC - On March 18, 2011, we sold our Navis marine terminal solutions business and the related WhereNet marine terminal solutions product line of our Zebra Enterprise Solutions (“ZES”) business segment for approximately $188,588,000 in cash to Cargotec Corporation. During the first quarter of 2012, we received $13,790,000 of the previously escrowed funds and at June 30, 2012, Zebra has a remaining short term receivable from the buyer in the amount of $13,790,000 which represents the remaining funds held in escrow that are subject to adjustment according to terms of the agreement.

Sale of proveo AG - On August 3, 2011, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with F Two NV (a Belgium company) to sell all of our interest in Zebra Enterprise Solutions GmbH (formerly proveo AG) business. The loss recorded upon divestiture was $1,248,000. As part of the sale, Zebra agreed with the buyer to provide a revolving loan of up to €1,000,000 which is due August 3, 2012 and bears interest at 6.5%. Zebra realized tax benefits in the amount of $13,308,000 with the divestiture of proveo AG. These tax benefits are primarily related to the difference in book basis versus tax basis. On June 29, 2012 F Two NV (a Belgium company) sold the business and assigned the revolving loan to OBQ SA (a Luxembourg company) with Zebra’s consent. The revolving loan commitment was reduced to a lesser amount of up to €526,058. The due date for borrowings under the agreement was extended from August 3, 2012 to December 31, 2012. The interest rate remains unchanged at 6.5%.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2011, Zebra reported the results of these businesses as discontinued operations. The amounts presented below for discontinued operations include the operating results of Navis and proveo for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011. After the Navis sale, Zebra consolidated the remaining Location Solutions product lines.

Consolidated Results of Operations – Second quarter

Sales

Net sales for the second quarter of 2012, compared with the corresponding 2011 quarter, increased 0.6%. The slight increase in sales was largely attributable to 1.2% growth in hardware sales. Printer unit volume increased 19.4% from the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to volume increases in desktop, mobile, kiosk, and card printers.

Sales increased in Latin America due to geographic expansion with notable increases in mobile, desktop and card printer sales. Sales in North America increased due to increased sales to retail and manufacturing customers and a strong demand for desktop, card and mobile printers. Zebra continues to build a broader base of customers to penetrate targeted industries more deeply. Movements in foreign exchange rates decreased sales by $4,846,000 in the Europe, Middle East and Africa regions for the quarter due principally to a weaker euro against the U.S. dollar.

Gross Profit

Gross profit of 48.7%, versus 49.6% in 2011, reflects unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates and product mix. Unfavorable foreign currency movements decreased second quarter gross profit by $3,974,000.

For the second quarter of 2012, unit volumes increased in desktop, mobile, kiosk, and card printers compared to the same period of 2011. The 15.6% decrease in average selling price is a result primarily of a change in product mix from one quarter compared to the other.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the quarter increased 7.9% due mainly to greater selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses and acquisition costs. These increases are principally related to activities supporting Zebra’s geographic expansion and market development activities. Compensation costs, which primarily relate to higher headcount, increased over most categories when compared to 2011. Business development, outside professional services, travel and entertainment, rent, depreciation and information systems expenses all increased over 2011 levels. Acquisition costs in 2012 relate to investigated and completed merger and acquisition activity during the period.

Operating Income

The operating income decreased 15.5% for the second quarter of 2012 versus 2011 as a result of a slight decrease in gross profits and increased operating expenses as noted above.

Other Income (Expense)

Investment income increased slightly from higher cash and investment amounts in 2012 compared with 2011, primarily related to increased cash from operations. Zebra recorded a higher foreign exchange loss in 2011 as the U.S. dollar weakened against the euro.

Zebra’s non-operating income and expense items are summarized in the following table (in thousands):

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 was 23.6% compared with 28.3% for the second quarter of 2011. The 2012 effective tax rate decline reflects the implementation of a new structure for Zebra’s international subsidiaries which has contributed to reducing the effective tax rate by 3.3% in the second quarter. In addition, the statutory tax rate in the UK was also reduced in 2012.

Income from Discontinued Operations

Beginning in the first quarter of 2011, Zebra reported the results of Navis and proveo as discontinued operations. Each of these businesses were sold during 2011. The income from discontinued operations in 2012 is primarily related to the amendment and extension of the proveo loan agreement. The losses in 2011 relate to the discontinued proveo business operations in the comparable period.

Consolidated Results of Operations – Year to date

Sales

Net sales for the first six months of 2012 compared with the same 2011 period increased 1.7% due to a broad based demand despite a struggling economy. The increase in sales was largely attributable to 5.6% growth in supplies including labels, card printer supplies and aftermarket parts. Supplies sales increased from greater shipments of labels and thermal ribbons. Printer unit volume increased 12.0% for the first six months of 2012 compared to levels in 2011 primarily due to volume increases in desktop, mobile and card printers.

Sales increased in Latin America due to geographic expansion with notable increases in card, mobile, and desktop printer sales for the first six months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Latin America also benefitted from increased aftermarket sales in 2012 over 2011 levels. Sales in North America increased due to increased sales of aftermarket supplies and a strong demand for desktop, card and midrange printers. Zebra continues to build a broader base of customers to penetrate targeted industries more deeply. Movements in foreign exchange rates decreased sales by $6,514,000 in the Europe, Middle East and Africa regions due principally to a weaker euro against the U.S. dollar.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased 0.6% due to unfavorable movements in product mix. Gross profit was affected by unfavorable foreign currency movements which decreased gross profit by $5,177,000. The above factors contributed to the decrease in gross margin from 50.1%. to 48.9%.

For the first six months of 2012, unit volumes increased in nearly all printer product lines compared to the same period of 2011, with notable volume increase in desktop, mobile and card printers. The 10.1% decrease in average selling price is a result primarily of a change in product mix.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the six month period increased 5.4% due to greater selling and marketing and general and administrative expenses. Several categories accounted for these increases, including compensation costs, business development, outside professional services, travel and entertainment, rent, depreciation and information systems expenses. These increases are principally related to activities supporting Zebra’s geographic expansion and market development activities. Acquisition costs in 2012 relate to investigated and completed acquisitions during the period. Exit and restructuring costs in 2011 relate to the relocation and consolidation of administrative, accounting and distribution functions of our Location Solutions product line.

Operating Income

The operating income decrease for the first six months of 2012 was the result of increased operating expenses as noted above.

Other Income (Expense)

Investment income increased slightly from increased cash and investment balances in 2012 compared with 2011. Zebra recorded a larger foreign exchange loss in 2011.

Zebra’s non-operating income and expense items are summarized in the following table (in thousands):

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2012 was 25.8% compared with an income tax rate of 30.2% for the first six months of 2011. The 2012 effective tax rate decline reflects the implementation of a new structure for Zebra’s international subsidiaries which has contributed to reducing the effective tax rate. In addition, the statutory tax rate in the UK was also reduced in 2012. Zebra’s rate in 2011 included a tax valuation allowance in the first quarter of 2011 against a subsequently disposed subsidiary.

Income from Discontinued Operations

Beginning in the first quarter of 2011, Zebra reported the results of Navis and proveo as discontinued operations. Each of these businesses were sold during 2011. The income from discontinued operations in 2012 is primarily related to the amendment and extension of the proveo loan agreement. The losses in 2011 relate to the discontinued proveo business operations in the comparable period.

Average cash and marketable securities balances for the first six months of 2012 increased compared to 2011 as a result of increased cash provided by operating activities and from the collection of the escrowed proceeds from the sale of Navis.

As of June 30, 2012, Zebra had $386,822,000 in cash and investments and marketable securities, compared with $326,695,000 at December 31, 2011. Factors affecting cash and investment balances during the first six months of 2012 include the following (changes below include the impact of foreign currency):

 

   

Inventories decreased $16,599,000 due to decreases in raw materials and finished goods.

 

   

Accounts payable decreased $9,594,000 due to the timing of payments at period end.

 

   

Accrued liabilities decreased $11,422,000 due to the timing of annual bonus payments and regular payroll.

 

   

Income taxes payable increased $10,714,000 due to the timing of tax payments.

 

   

Purchases of property and equipment totaled $10,599,000.

 

   

Half of the escrowed proceeds from the sale of Navis totaling $13,790,000 were received.

 

   

Purchases of treasury shares totaled $24,645,000.

Management believes that existing capital resources and funds generated from operations are sufficient to finance anticipated capital requirements, which included the purchase of LaserBand, LLC in July 2012 which utilized approximately $58,404,000 in cash.

Zebra earns a significant amount of our operating income outside of the U.S., which is deemed to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. Zebra does not intend to repatriate funds, however, should Zebra require more capital in the U.S. than is generated by our operations locally, Zebra could elect to repatriate funds held in foreign jurisdictions or raise capital in the U.S. through debt or equity issuances. These alternatives could result in higher effective tax rates or increased interest expense.

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.

Our estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts in our financial statements. The following accounting policies comprise those that we believe are the most critical in understanding and evaluating Zebra’s reported financial results.

Revenue Recognition

Product revenue is recognized once four criteria are met: (1) we have persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred and title has passed to the customer, which generally happens at the point of shipment provided that no significant obligations remain; (3) the price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Other items that affect our revenue recognition include:

Customer Returns

Customers have the right to return products that do not function properly within a limited time after delivery. We monitor and track product returns and record a provision for the estimated future returns based on historical experience and any notification received of pending returns. Returns have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, but Zebra cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience return rates consistent with historical patterns. Historically, our product returns have not been significant. However, if a significant issue should arise, it could have a material impact on our financial statements.

Growth Rebates

Some of our channel program partners are offered incentive rebates based on the attainment of specific growth targets related to products they purchase from us over a quarter or year. These rebates are recorded as a reduction to revenue. Each quarter, we estimate the amount of outstanding rebates and establish a reserve for them based on shipment history. Historically, actual rebates have been in line with our estimates.

Pass Through Rebate Program

Some of our distributors are offered monthly rebates based on distribution of products to our program partners. These rebates are recorded as a reduction to revenue. Each month we estimate the amount of rebate earned and establish a reserve for them based on recent trends of actual activity. The actual distributor rebates paid have historically been in line with our estimates.

Price Protection

Some of our customers are offered price protection by Zebra as an incentive to carry inventory of our product. These price protection plans provide that if we lower prices, we will credit them for the price decrease on inventory they hold. We estimate future payments under price protection programs quarterly and establish a reserve, which is charged against revenue. Our customers typically carry limited amounts of inventory, and Zebra infrequently lowers prices on current products. As a result, the amounts paid under these plans have been minimal.

Software Revenue

We sell three types of software and record revenue as follows:

 

   

Our printers contain embedded firmware, which is part of the hardware purchase. We consider the sale of this firmware to be incidental to the sale of the printer and do not attribute any revenue to it.

 

28


Table of Contents
   

We sell a limited amount of prepackaged, or off-the-shelf, software for the creation of bar code labels using our printers. There is no customization required to use this software, and we have no post-shipment obligations on the software. Revenue is recognized at the time this prepackaged software is shipped.

 

   

We sometimes provide custom software as part of a printer installation project. We bill custom software development services separate from the related hardware. Revenue related to custom software is recognized once the custom software development services have been completed and accepted by the customer.

 

   

We recognize license revenue when (1) a signed contract is obtained; (2) delivery of the product has occurred; (3) the license fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection is probable.

Maintenance and Support Agreements

We enter into post-contract maintenance and support agreements. Revenues are recognized ratably over the service period and the cost of providing these services is expensed as incurred.

Shipping and Handling

We charge our customers for shipping and handling services based upon our internal price list for these items. The amounts billed to customers are recorded as revenue when the product ships. Any costs incurred related to these services are included in cost of sales.

Zebra enters into sales transactions that include more than one product type. This bundle of products might include printers, current or future supplies, and services. When this type of transaction occurs, we allocate the purchase price to each product type based on the fair value of the individual products determined by vendor specific objective evidence. The revenue for each individual product is then recognized when the recognition criteria for that product is fully met.

Investments and Marketable Securities

Investments and marketable securities at June 30, 2012, consisted of the following:

 

U.S. government and agency securities

     22.7

Obligations of government-sponsored enterprises (1)

     4.3

State and municipal bonds

     36.9

Corporate securities

     36.1

 

(1) Includes investments in notes issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Farm Credit Banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank.

We classify our debt and marketable equity securities in one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are those debt securities that Zebra has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. All securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale.

Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of discounts or premiums. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. As of June 30, 2012, Zebra’s investments in marketable debt securities are classified as available-for-sale. In addition, as of June 30, 2012, all of our investments in marketable debt securities with maturities greater than one year are classified as long-term investments in the balance sheet due to our ability and intent to hold them until maturity.

Accounts Receivable

We have standardized credit granting and review policies and procedures for all customer accounts, including:

 

   

Credit reviews of all new customer accounts,

 

   

Ongoing credit evaluations of current customers,

 

   

Credit limits and payment terms based on available credit information,

 

   

Adjustments to credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness,

 

   

An active collection effort by regional credit functions, reporting directly to the corporate financial officers, and

 

   

Limited credit insurance on the majority of our international receivables.

Table of Contents

We reserve for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and specific customer collection issues. Over the last three years, accounts receivable reserves varied from 0.7% to 1.2% of total accounts receivable. Accounts receivable reserves as of June 30, 2012, were $1,057,000, or 0.7% of the balance due. Accounts receivable reserves as of December 31, 2011, were $1,560,000, or 1.0% of the balance due. We believe our reserve level is appropriate considering the quality of the portfolio as of June 30, 2012. While credit losses have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that our credit loss experience will continue to be consistent with historical experience.

Inventories

We value our inventories at the lower of the actual cost to purchase or manufacture using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or the current estimated market value. We review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based on forecasts of product demand and production requirements for the subsequent twelve months.

Over the last three years, our reserves for excess and obsolete inventories have ranged from 8.0% to 11.9% of gross inventory. As of June 30, 2012, inventory reserves were $15,822,000, or 11.9% of gross inventory compared to inventory reserves of $14,710,000, or 9.9% of gross inventory as of December 31, 2011. We believe our reserve level is appropriate considering the quantities and quality of the inventories as of June 30, 2012.

Valuation of Goodwill

We test the impairment of goodwill each year as of the end of May or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We completed our annual assessment during June 2012 and determined that our goodwill was not impaired as of the end of May 2012.

Goodwill of a reporting unit is tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Examples of such events or circumstances include:

 

   

Significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate,

 

   

Adverse action or assessment by a regulator,

 

   

Unanticipated competition,

 

   

Loss of key personnel,

 

   

More-likely-than-not expectation that a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed of,

 

   

Testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit, or

 

   

Allocation of a portion of goodwill to a business to be disposed of.

If we believe that one or more of the above indicators of impairment have occurred, we perform an impairment test. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. We generally determine the fair value of our reporting units using three valuation methods: Income Approach – Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, Market Approach – Guideline Public Company Method and Market Approach – Comparative Transactions Method. The approach defined below is based upon our last impairment test conducted in June 2012 as of the end of May 2012.

Under the “Income Approach – Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” the key assumptions consider sales, cost of sales and operating expenses projected through the year 2021. These assumptions were determined by management utilizing our internal operating plan and assuming growth rates for revenues and operating expenses, and margin assumptions. The fourth key assumption under this approach is the discount rate which is determined by looking at current risk-free rates of capital, current market interest rates and the evaluation of risk premium relevant to the business segment. If our assumptions relative to growth rates were to change or were incorrect, our fair value calculation may change which could result in impairment.

Under the “Market Approach – Guideline Company Method” we identified 20 publicly traded companies, including Zebra, which we believe have significant relevant similarities. For these 20 companies we calculated the mean ratio of invested capital to revenues and invested capital to EBITDA. Similar to the Income approach discussed above, sales, cost

Table of Contents

of sales, operating expenses and their respective growth rates were the key assumptions utilized. The market prices of Zebra and other guideline company shares are key assumptions. If these market prices increase, the estimated market value would increase. If the market prices decrease, the estimated market value would decrease.

Under the “Market Approach – Comparative Transactions Method” we looked at 19 market based transactions for companies that have similarities to our business segment, including similarities to one or more of the business lines, markets, growth prospects, margins and size. We calculated mean revenue and EBITDA multiples for the selected transactions. These multiples were applied to forecasted Zebra results for that segment to estimate market value. The key assumptions and impact to changes to those assumptions would be similar to those assumptions under the “Income Approach – Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” and the “Market Approach – Guideline Company Method”.

The results of these three methods are weighted based upon management’s determination with more weighing upon the Income approach because it considers anticipated future financial performance. The Market approaches are based upon historical and current economic conditions which might not reflect the long term prospects or opportunities for our business segment being evaluated.

If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, we perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. Zebra has two reporting units required for its annual goodwill impairment test. The larger of the two reporting units’ fair value exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount. For the second, smaller reporting unit the amount by which the fair value exceeded the carrying value ranged from approximately 8% under the Income Approach and 31% under the Market Approach. A 1% movement in the discount rate or a small deterioration in operating results could result in a requirement to perform an additional impairment test for this reporting unit and may result in a goodwill impairment charge of up to $9,100,000 related to this reporting unit.

There have not been any significant changes to our impairment testing methodology other than updating the assumptions to reflect the current market environment. As discussed above, key assumptions used in the first step of the goodwill impairment test were determined by management utilizing the internal operating plan. The key assumptions utilized include forecasted growth rates for revenues and operating expenses as well as a discount rate which is determined by looking at current risk-free rates of capital, current market interest rates and the evaluation of risk premium relevant to the business segment. Our fair value calculation could change and possibly result in impairment if our assumptions relative to growth rates were to change or were incorrect or our forecast of revenues and operating expenses are not met. Also, changes to the discount rate which would be driven by any changes in the risk-free rate, or changes market interest rates could impact the fair value changes. As such, any negative changes in the above rates or factors could change the fair value calculation and could cause the failure of the first step of the impairment for the smaller reporting unit. Zebra will monitor future results and if necessary will perform at test if indicators trigger an impairment review.

Valuation of Long-Lived and Other Intangible Assets

We evaluate the impairment of identifiable intangibles and other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors considered that may trigger an impairment review consist of:

 

   

Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results,

 

   

Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business,

 

   

Significant negative industry or economic trends,

 

   

Significant decline in Zebra’s stock price for a sustained period, and

 

   

Significant decline in market capitalization relative to net book value.

If we believe that one or more of the above indicators of impairment have occurred and the undiscounted cash flow test has failed in the case of amortizable assets, we measure impairment based on projected discounted cash flows using a discount rate that incorporates the risk inherent in the cash flows.

Net intangible assets, long-lived assets and goodwill amounted to $191,822,000 as of June 30, 2012.

Acquisition Costs

Zebra expenses acquisition costs as incurred. Acquisition costs are included as a component of operating expenses.

Income Taxes

Zebra has identified, evaluated, and measured the amount of income tax benefits to be recognized for all of our income tax positions. Included in deferred tax assets are amounts related to federal and state net operating losses that resulted from our acquisition of WhereNet Corp. Zebra’s intention is to utilize these net operating loss carryforwards to offset future income taxes.

Table of Contents

Zebra is currently under U.S. federal income tax audits for years of 2008 through 2010. The tax years 2006 through 2010 remain open to examination by multiple state taxing jurisdictions. Tax authorities in the United Kingdom have completed income tax audits for tax years through 2006.

Zebra’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense. For the six month ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, we did not accrue any interest or penalties into income tax expense.

Zebra’s estimates of taxes for interim periods are based upon the annual effective tax rate for the full-year, adjusted for any discrete items that relate to an interim period. The estimated annual effective tax rate is determined using projections of full-year taxable income by each Zebra legal entity with the appropriate statutory tax rate for that subsidiary applied. The effective rate may change during the year, typically due to the change in our estimated taxable income by jurisdiction as each year progresses. Zebra is estimating a consolidated effective tax rate between 24.0% and 25.0% for the second half of 2012.

The 2012 effective tax rate decline reflects the implementation of a new structure for Zebra’s international subsidiaries which has contributed to reducing the effective tax rate in the second quarter. In addition, the statutory tax rate in the UK was also reduced in 2012. Zebra’s rate in 2011 included a tax valuation allowance in the first quarter of 2011 against a subsequently disposed subsidiary.

Significant Customer

Our net sales to significant customers as a percentage of total net sales were as follows:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our 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-Q. The evaluation was conducted under the supervision of our Disclosure Committee, and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that (i) the information required to be disclosed by us in this report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or furnish under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Zebra began a program to update substantially all of its key financial systems in 2008. As portions of these systems are completed, they will be subject to the requirements related to internal control over financial reporting. The requirements for internal control over financial reporting will be a fundamental element of the design and implementation of these systems.

As of February 27, 2012, we completed the implementation of the new systems for our North America region. This implementation included customer order entry and invoicing, inventory procurement and management, certain accounts payable activity, and other related operational systems. As part of the implementation, we changed many of the related internal controls substantially by reducing the number of manual controls with system controls and streamlining Zebra’s internal operations. These new controls will be subject to testing throughout 2012. The effectiveness of these new controls will be disclosed in our December 31, 2012 internal control report.

During 2012, we made additional changes to our controls and procedures as part of our ongoing monitoring of our controls. None of these changes has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, there were no other changes that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control 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 Zebra 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.
