Note 3 Revenues

The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of goods, solutions or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive for providing those goods, solutions or services.

Revenues for products are generally recognized upon shipment, whereas revenues for services and solution offerings are generally recognized over time by using an output or time-based method, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. Revenues for software are recognized either upon delivery or over time using a time-based method, depending upon how control is transferred to the customer. In cases where a bundle of products, services, solutions and/or software are delivered to the customer, judgment is required to select the method of progress which best reflects the transfer of control.

Contract Balances
Progress on satisfying performance obligations under contracts with customers related to billed revenues is reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Accounts receivable, net. Progress on satisfying performance obligations under contracts with customers related to unbilled revenues (“contract assets”) is reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Prepaid expenses and other current assets for revenues expected to be billed within the next twelve months, and Other long-term assets for revenues expected to be billed thereafter. The total contract asset balances were $14 million and $10$16 million as of OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. These contract assets result from timing differences between billing and satisfying performance obligations, as well as the impact fromof the allocation of the transaction price among performance obligations for contracts that include multiple performance obligations.

Note 5 Business Acquisitions

Matrox
On June 3, 2022, the Company acquired Matrox Electronic Systems Ltd. (“Matrox”), a developer of advanced machine vision components and software. Through its acquisition of Matrox, the Company intends to expand its machine vision products and software offerings.

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The Company’s total purchase consideration was $878 million comprised of $875 million in cash paid at closing, net of Matrox’s cash on-hand and an additional $3 million of cash that was paid in the third quarter of 2022.

The Company utilized estimated fair values as of the acquisition date to allocate the total purchase consideration to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value of the net assets acquired was based on several estimates and assumptions, as well as customary valuation techniques, primarily the excess earnings method for customer relationships as well as the relief from royalty method for technology and patent intangible assets. While we believe these estimates provide a reasonable basis to record the net assets acquired, the purchase price allocation is considered preliminary and subject to adjustment during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments to increase customer relationship and technology intangible assets, as well as deferred tax liabilities by $36 million, $4 million and $11 million, respectively. These adjustments, relating to facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date, resulted in a $29 million reduction of goodwill. The primary fair value estimates still considered preliminary as of October 1, 2022 include intangible assets and income tax-related items.

Total purchase price$878 

The $635 million of goodwill, which is non-deductible for tax purposes, has been allocated to the EVM segment and principally relates to the planned global expansion and integration of Matrox into the Company’s machine vision offerings.

The preliminary purchase price allocation to identifiable intangible assets acquired was as follows:
Fair Value (in millions)Useful Life (in years)
Customer and other relationships$232 11
Technology and patents63 7
Trade names2
Total identifiable intangible assets$297 

In connection with the acquisition of Matrox, the Company granted $13 million of cash-settled RSUs to certain employees in the second quarter which are attributable to service to be rendered subsequent to the acquisition and will generally be expensed over a 3-year service period.

The Company has not included unaudited pro forma results, as if Matrox had been acquired as of January 1, 2021, as doing so would not yield materially different results.

Fetch
During the third quarter of 2022,2023, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation for its acquisition of Fetch Robotics, Inc.Matrox Electronic Systems Ltd. (“Fetch”Matrox”). The measurement period adjustments recorded in the current year, all relating to facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date, were insignificant.

Antuit.ai
During the third quarter of 2022, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments relating to its acquisition of Antuit Holdings Pte. Ltd. (“Antuit”). The measurement period adjustments, all relating to facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date, consisted of a $7 million decrease to deferred tax liabilities, a $2 million increase to accounts payable, with an offsetting $5 million decrease to goodwill. The primary fair value estimates still considered preliminary as of October 1, 2022 relate to income tax items.

Acquisition and integration costs
The Company incurred approximately $19 million of acquisition-related costs during the nine months ended October 1, 2022, primarily related to third-party and advisory fees associated with the Matrox acquisition. For the three months ended October 1, 2022, acquisition-related costs were $1 million. These costs are included within Acquisition and integration costs on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Note 98 Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishesASC Topic 820 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into the following three broad levels:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs (e.g. U.S. Treasuries and money market funds).
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets but corroborated by market data.
11

Table of Contents
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs to the extent possible. In addition, the Company considers counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value.

(1)The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts is calculated as follows:
Fair value of regular forward contracts associated with forecasted sales hedges is calculated using the period-end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points.
Fair value of hedges against net assets denominated in foreign currencies is calculated at the period-end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points unless the hedge has been traded but not settled at year end (Level 2). If this is the case, the fair value is calculated at the rate at which the hedge is being settled (Level 1).

(2)The fair value of forward interest rate swaps is based upon a valuation model that uses relevant observable market inputs at the quoted intervals, such as forward yield curves, and is adjusted for the Company’s credit risk and the interest rate swap terms.

Credit and Market Risk Management
Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose the Company to counterparty credit risk of nonperformance and to market risk related to currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations. The Company manages its exposure to counterparty credit risk by establishing minimum credit standards, diversifying its counterparties, and monitoring its concentrations of credit. The Company’s counterparties are commercial banks with expertise in derivative financial instruments. The Company evaluates the impact of market risk on the fair value and cash flows of its derivative and other financial instruments by considering

reasonably possible changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. The Company continually monitors the creditworthiness of the customers to which it grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The terms and conditions of the Company’s credit policies are designed to mitigate concentrations of credit risk.

The Company’s master netting and other similar arrangements with the respective counterparties allow for net settlement under certain conditions, which are designed to reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement with the same counterparty. We present the assets and liabilities of our derivative financial instruments, for which we have net settlement agreements in place, on a net basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. If the derivative financial instruments had been presented gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the asset and liability positions would have been unchanged as of October 1, 2022 and increased by $1 million and $4 million as of July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2021.2022, respectively.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Management
The Company conducts business on a multinational basis in a variety of foreign currencies. Exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises primarily from Euro-denominated external revenues, cross-border financing activities between subsidiaries, and foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The Company manages its objective of preserving the economic value of non-functional currency denominated cash flows by initially hedging transaction exposures with natural offsets and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through foreign exchange forward and option contracts, as deemed appropriate.

The Company manages the exchange rate risk of anticipated Euro-denominated sales using forward contracts, which typically mature within twelve months of execution. The Company designates these derivative contracts as cash flow hedges. Unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets until the contract is settled and the hedged sale is realized. The realized gain or loss is then recorded as an adjustment to Net sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Realized amounts reclassified to Net sales were $29$7 million of losses and $5$27 million of gains for the three months ended OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and OctoberJuly 2, 2021,2022, respectively. Realized amounts reclassified to Net sales were $72$10 million of losses and $43 million of gains and $15 million of losses for the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and OctoberJuly 2, 2021,2022, respectively. As of OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the notional amounts of the Company’s foreign exchange cash flow hedges were €405€754 million and €675€549 million, respectively. The Company has reviewed its cash flow hedges for effectiveness and determined that they are highly effective.

The Company uses forward contracts, which are not designated as hedging instruments, to manage its exposures related to net assets denominated in foreign currencies. These forward contracts typically mature within one month after execution. Monetary gains and losses on these forward contracts are recorded in income and are generally offset by the transaction gains and losses related to their net asset positions.

Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company’s debt consists of borrowings under a term loan (“Term Loan A”), Revolving Credit Facility, and Receivables Financing Facilities, which bear interest at variable rates plus applicable margins. As a result, the Company is exposed to market risk associated with the variable interest rate payments on these borrowings. See Note 11,10, Long-Term Debt for further details aboutrelated to these borrowings.

The Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by utilizing long-term forward interest rate swaps to hedge this exposure and to achieve a desired proportion of fixed versus floating-ratevariable-rate debt, based on current and projected market conditions.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt approximated $2.1 billion and $1.0$2.0 billion as of OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. These fair value amounts, developed based on inputs classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy, represent the estimated value at which the Company’s lenders could trade its debt within the financial markets and do not represent the settlement value of these liabilities to the Company. The fair value of debt will continue to vary each period based on a number of factors, including fluctuations in market interest rates as well as changes to the Company’s credit ratings.

In May 2022, the Company refinanced its long-term credit facilities by entering into its third amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 3”). Amendment No. 3 increased the Company’s borrowing under Term Loan A from $875 million to $1.75 billion and increased the Company’s borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility from $1 billion to $1.5 billion. Amendment No. 3 also extended the maturities of Term Loan A and the Revolving Credit Facility to May 25, 2027 and replaced LIBOR with SOFR as the benchmark reference rate.

This refinancing resulted in one-time charges of $2 million, which included certain third-party fees and the accelerated amortization of previously deferred issuance costs. These items are included in Interest income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, $6 million of new issuance costs and fees were deferred and will be amortized over the remaining term of Term Loan A and the Revolving Credit Facility.

Contingencies
The Company is subject to a variety of investigations, claims, suits, and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to, intellectual property, employment, tort, and breach of contract matters. The Company currently believes that the outcomes of such proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its business, cash flows, financial position, or results of operations. Any legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and the Company’s view of these matters and their potential effects may change in the future. The Company records a liability for contingencies when a loss is deemed to be probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a License and Settlement Agreement (“Settlement”) to resolve certain patent-related litigation. Under the Settlement, the Company and the counterparty each agreed to a mutual general release from all past claims asserted by the parties; entered into a covenant not to sue for patent infringement; agreed to a payment by the Company to the counterparty for past damages of $360 million and entered into a royalty-free cross-license with respect to each party’s existing patent portfolio for the lives of the licensed patents. Based on the terms of the Settlement and a relative fair value analysis of each of the settlement provisions, the Company concluded that no significant portion of the payment resulted in a future benefit, and as such, the full $360 million was recorded as a charge in the second quarter. That charge, along with $12 million of external legal fees, is reflected within Settlement and related costs on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The payment terms under the Settlement consist of 8 quarterly payments of $45 million that began in the second quarter.quarter of 2022. The portion payable inremaining 3 quarterly amounts will be paid by the next 12 months isfirst quarter of 2024 and are included within Accrued liabilities, with the remaining amounts included within Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 13 Share-Based Compensation

The Company issues share-based compensation awards under the Zebra Technologies 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2018 Plan”), approved by shareholders in 2018 which superseded and replaced all prior share-based incentive plans. Outstanding awards issued prior to the 2018 Plan are governed by the provisions of those plans until such awards have been exercised, forfeited, canceled, expired, or otherwise terminated in accordance with their terms. Awards available under the 2018 Plan include stock-settled awards, including stock-settled restricted stock units, stock-settled performance stock units, restricted stock awards, performance share awards, stock appreciation rights, incentive stock options, and non-qualified stock options.Awards available under the 2018 Plan also include cash-settled awards, including cash-settled stock appreciation rights, cash-settled restricted stock units, and cash-settled performance stock units. No awards remain available for future grants under previous plans.

The Company uses treasury shares as its source for issuing shares under the share-based compensation programs. As of July 1, 2023, the Company had 2,365,581 shares of Class A Common stock remaining available to be issued under the 2018 Plan.

The compensation expense from the Company’s share-based compensation plans and associated income tax benefit, excluding the effects of excess tax benefits or shortfalls, were included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows (in millions):

Table of Contents
The majority of the Company’s share-based compensation awards are generally issued as part of its employee and non-employee director incentive program during the second quarter of each fiscal year. The Company also issues awards associated with business acquisitions or other off-cycle events. The majority of the Company’s share-based compensation is comprised of stock-settled awards.

Stock-settled awards
Beginning in 2021, the Company began issuing stock-settled restricted stock units (“stock-settled RSUs”) and stock-settled performance share units (“stock-settled PSUs”) for the majority of its share-based compensation awards. Prior to which, the Company primarily awarded restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), performance share awards (“PSAs”), and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). The Company’s awards are typically time-vested with stock-settled RSUs and RSAs vesting ratably in three annual installments, stock-settled PSUs and PSAs vesting at the end of the three-year period, and SARs vesting ratably in four annual installments.

Vesting for each participant is subject to restrictions, such as continuous employment, except in certain cases as set forth in each stock agreement. Upon vesting, stock-settled RSUs and PSUs convert to shares of Class A Common Stock that are released to participants. RSAs and PSAs are considered participating securities, and as such, are included as part of the Company’s Class A Common Stock outstanding at the time of grant.

Compensation cost for the stock-settled RSUs, stock-settled PSUs, RSAs, and PSAs is expensed over each participant’s required service period. Compensation cost is calculated as the fair market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the grant date multiplied by the number of units or awards granted, net of estimated forfeitures. The expected attainment of the performance goals for the stock-settled PSUs and PSAs is reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with adjustments recorded to compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as necessary. As a result of this assessment, the current quarter results include a $30 million reduction in compensation costs. Fair value and compensation cost for SARs are determined using a binomial model on the grant date.

The Company also issues RSAs to non-employee directors. The number of shares granted to each non-employee director is determined by dividing the value of the annual grant by the price of a share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. New directors in any fiscal year earn a prorated amount. During the first six months of 2023, there were 6,640 shares granted to non-employee directors compared to 5,686 shares during the first six months of 2022. The shares vest immediately upon grant.

Cash-settled awards
The Company also issues cash-settled share-based compensation awards, including cash-settled stock appreciation rights, cash-settled restricted stock units and cash-settled performance stock units that are classified as liability awards. These awards are expensed over the vesting period of the related award, which is typically three years. Compensation cost is calculated as the fair value on grant date multiplied by the number of share-equivalents granted. The expected attainment of the performance goals for the cash-settled performance stock units is reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with adjustments recorded to compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as necessary. Cash settlement is based on the fair value of share equivalents at the time of vesting, which was $8 million and $4 million for the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively. Share-equivalents issued under these programs totaled 39,407 and 64,056 during the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively.

ForIn the three months ended October 1, 2022,current period, the variance from the 21% federal statutory rate was primarily attributabledue to unfavorableU.S. tax credits and the favorable impacts from returnof foreign earnings subject to provision adjustments. ForU.S. taxation. In the nine months ended October 1, 2022,prior period, the variance from the 21% federal statutory rate was primarily attributable to a discrete tax benefit resulting from the Settlement and related costs recorded in the second quarter of 2022, lower tax rates on foreign earnings, and U.S. tax credits. In the prior period, the variance from the 21% federal statutory rate was primarily attributable to share-based compensation deductions, lower tax rates on foreign earnings and U.S. tax credits. In addition, the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021 include the benefit of a foreign-derived intangible income deductionThe change in the U.S. The nine-month period ended October 2, 2021 also benefited from the remeasurement of deferred tax assets associated with the enactment of a corporate tax rate increase in the U.K. during the second quarter of 2021.

The Company evaluated the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, signed into law on August 16, 2022; the American Rescue Plan Act, signed into law on March 11, 2021; the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, signed into law on December 27, 2020; and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020. The provisions of these laws did not have a significant impact to our effective tax rate in either the current or prior year. Management continues to monitor guidance regarding these laws and developments related to other coronavirus tax relief throughout the world for potential impacts.

The Company earns a significant amount of its operating income outside of the U.S that is taxed at rates different than the U.S. federal statutory rate. The Company’s principal foreign jurisdictions that provide sources of operating income are the U.K. and Singapore.

As a result, future repatriation of earnings will not be subject to additional U.S. federal income tax but may be subject to currency translation gains or losses. Where required, the Company has recorded a deferred tax liability for foreign withholding taxes on current earnings. Additionally, gains and losses on any future taxable dispositions of U.S.-owned foreign affiliates continue to be subject to U.S. income tax.

Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company is currently undergoing U.S. federal income tax audits for tax years 2016 through 2018. Additionally, fiscal years 2009 through 2022 remain open to examination by multiple foreign and U.S. state taxing jurisdictions. As of October 1, 2022, management believes that it is reasonably possible that the recorded amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $2 million within the next twelve months as a result of concluding various domestic tax matters. Due to uncertainties in any tax audit or litigation outcome, the Company’s estimates of the ultimate settlements of uncertain tax positions may change and the actual tax benefits may differ significantly from estimates.

Note 15 Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic net earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of diluted common shares assuming dilution. Dilutiveoutstanding. Diluted common shares outstanding is computed using the Treasury Stock method and, in periods of income, reflects the additional shares that would be outstanding if dilutive share-based compensation awards were converted into common shares during the period.

Demand declines were most pronounced in cash, net of Matrox’s cash on-hand. Matrox is a leading provider of advanced machine vision components and software serving a number of end-markets. Through its acquisition of Matrox, the Company intends to expand its machine vision products and software offerings. The operating results of Matrox are included in theour mobile computing business within our EVM segment.

Debt Refinancing
On May 26, 2022, the Company announced that it amended its long-term credit facilities which increased its borrowing under Term Loan A from $875 million to $1.75 billion and also its borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility from $1 billion to $1.5 billion.

Russiaprimarily due to fewer large order deployments as we believe large enterprises are absorbing significant capacity built-out over recent years, while they are also experiencing tighter capital spending budgets. This, coupled with a general trend of distributors reducing inventory levels, has negatively impacted our current year results. We expect these trends to continue through at least the remainder of 2023. We are partially mitigating the financial impacts of operating headwinds through a combination of targeted list price increases and Ukraine War
On March 5, 2022, we announced the suspension ofoperating cost management. As our business operations in Russia. Neither Russia nor Ukraine comprises a material portion of our business, and therefore, the war thus far has not had a significant effect on our results of operations. Additionally, the war has not significantly affected our ability to source supplies or deliver our products and services to our customers in the surrounding EMEA region. We will continue to monitor this for potential future adverse impacts on our business.

COVID-19 Outbreak
The global coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemicoverall supply chain continues to evolve. Governmental agencies, to varying degrees, have imposed,recover, with improvements in both component part availability and continue to impose, several protocols and regulations restricting activitiescosts of individuals in an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19 when rates of infection rise, with some relaxation of these measures when infections rates are relatively low. We have implemented a number of measures in an effort to protect our employees’ health and well-being over the course of the pandemic tailored to address the local impacts, including having the majority of office workers work remotely during the height of the pandemic and high risk times and gradually returning to offices as restrictions are lifted when risks decrease, limiting employee travel, and implementing more strenuous health and safety measures for hosting and attending in-person industry events. Throughout the pandemic, distribution centers and repair centers have remained open at varying capacity levels to ensure continued support to our customers, many of whom provide essential goods and services to communities. As governments have eased their restrictions, our employees continue to return to our offices, with modified business practices, consistent with government regulations and current medical guidance.

The limited availability of certain product components has resulted in lengthened lead times and higher input costs, including freight, and in some cases, has impactedtransportation, our ability to meet customer demand. The Company expects input costs to remain elevated for some period of time, which we believe will be partially mitigated through higher pricing where permitted by market conditions. The limited availability of certain component parts may continue to negatively impact our ability to meet forecasted customer demand. The Company’s 2021 sales and profitability, particularly in the first half of the year, benefited from pent-up demand from customers who we believe had previously delayed purchases duehas improved as compared to the pandemic, as well as the resulting acceleration of the underlying trend to digitize and automate workflows.prior year.

The benefits of favorable business mix and pricing, and lower premium freight and component part costs were substantially offset by volume deleveraging, the negative impact of foreign currency changes, and inventory-related charges.

Operating income for the current year decreased by 33.7% compared to the prior year primarily due to lower Gross profit, partially offset by lower Operating expenses.

Year to date 2023 compared to Year to date 2022

Total Net sales for EVM decreased $384 million or 19.0% compared to the prior year primarily due to lower sales of mobile computing products largely attributed to fewer large order deployments and an overall moderation of demand for our core products as distributors reset inventory levels, which were partially offset by higher sales of data capture products, contributions from our recent acquisitions, higher sales of support services, and targeted list price increases. Current year mobile computing Net sales were lower than the prior year primarily due lower sales to large customers, as well as the negative impact of supply chain bottlenecks related to component shortages for certain products and execution challenges as we transition to a new distribution center in North America. Excluding the impacts of acquisitions and foreign currency changes, EVM Organic Net sales decreased 8.8%.

Gross margin increased to 46.6% in the current quarter compared to 45.5% in the prior year primarily due to favorable business mix, as well as lower net impacts of net premium freight and component costs, which were partially offset by the negative impact of foreign currency changes, as well as lower volume leverage and support service margins.

Operating income for the current quarter decreased 17.0% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower Gross Profit.

Year to date 2022 compared to Year to date 2021

Total Net sales for EVM increased $78 million or 2.6% compared to the prior year primarily due to higher sales of data capture products, contributions from our recent acquisitions, and higher sales of support services which were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency changes and lower sales of mobile computing products.software. Current year Net sales included the benefit of targeted list price increases, substantially offset by the negative impacteffects of supply chain bottlenecks, while prior year Net sales benefited from pent-up demand from customers who we believe delayed purchases in fiscal 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.foreign currency changes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

In May 2022, the Company refinanced its long-term credit facilities by entering into its third amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 3”). Amendment No. 3 increased the Company’s borrowing under Term Loan A from $875 million to $1.75 billion and increased the Company’s borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility from $1 billion to $1.5 billion. Amendment No. 3 also extended the maturities of Term Loan A and the Revolving Credit Facility to May 25, 2027 and replaced LIBOR with SOFR as the benchmark reference rate.

This refinancing resulted in one-time charges of $2 million, which included certain third party fees and the accelerated amortization of previously deferred issuance costs. These items are included in Interest (expense) income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, $6 million of new issuance costs and fees were deferred and will be amortized over the remaining term of Term Loan A and the Revolving Credit Facility.

Receivables Factoring
The Company currently has two Receivables Factoring arrangements, pursuant to whichtransfers certain receivables are sold to banks without recourse in exchange for cash.One arrangement allows for the factoringas part of up to $25 million of uncollected receivables originated from the EMEA region. The second arrangement allows for the factoring of up to €150 million of uncollected receivables originated from the EMEAits credit and Asia-Pacific regions.

Under these Receivables Factoring arrangements, the Company does not maintain any beneficial interest in the receivables sold. The banks’ purchase of eligible receivables is subject to a maximum amount of uncollected receivables. The Company services the receivables on behalf of the banks, but otherwise maintains no significant continuing involvement with respect to the receivables. Sale proceeds that are representative of the fair value of factored receivables, less a factoring fee, are reflected in Net cash provided byCash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, while sale proceeds in excess of the fair value of factored receivables are reflected in Net cash used inCash flows from financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, there were a total of $55$54 million and $24$61 million, respectively, of uncollected receivables that had been sold and removed from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls as of OctoberJuly 1, 2022.2023. Based on this assessment and those criteria, our management believes that, as of OctoberJuly 1, 2022,2023, our disclosure controls were effective.

Changes in Internal ControlsControl over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended OctoberJuly 1, 2022,2023, there have been no changes in our internal controls that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controlscontrol 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 controls will prevent or detect 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 misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Zebra have been prevented or 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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION 
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
Beginning in September 2021, Honeywell filed patent infringement lawsuits against Zebra in multiple jurisdictions, including the International Trade Commission and Federal District Court in the Western District of Texas in the United States, as well as foreign courts in the United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, and China. Honeywell made substantially similar allegations of patent infringement in all cases filed. The technology addressed in the various actions generally includes aspects of data capture, barcode reading, and scanning. The allegedly infringing Zebra products identified in the actions were described as barcode scanners, mobile computers with barcode scanning capabilities, scan engines, and components thereof. The remedies sought in these lawsuits included damages and injunctive relief. The same Zebra products and technology were implicated in all of the lawsuits. Zebra vigorously defended against these infringement allegations. In February 2022, Zebra filed patent infringement lawsuits against Honeywell in multiple jurisdictions, including the International Trade Commission and Federal District Court in the Eastern District of New York in the United States, as well as foreign courts in the United Kingdom, Germany and China. Zebra’s allegations against Honeywell in each case varied based on the underlying technology in the Zebra patent that is alleged to have been infringed by Honeywell. The technology addressed in the various actions includes scan engine functionality generally, distance scanning, power management and security. The Honeywell products that are accused of infringing Zebra’s patents in the various actions include scan engines and components thereof, barcode scanners, mobile computers, RFID printers and other wireless devices. The remedies sought in these lawsuits included damages and injunctive relief. In June 2022, the parties resolved their disputes and entered into a License and Settlement Agreement (“Settlement”). All pending matters between the parties were dismissed. The following are the relevant terms disclosed in Zebra’s Form 8-K filed on June 30, 2022: Under the Settlement, the Company and Honeywell each deny liability and agreed to a mutual general release from all past claims; entered into a covenant not to sue for patent infringement; agreed to a payment by the Company to Honeywell for past damages of $360 million which was charged in the Company’s second quarter results and will be paid in equal quarterly installments over eight quarters; and entered into a royalty-free cross-license with respect to each party’s existing patent portfolio for the lives of the licensed patents.

Item 1A.Risk Factors
In addition to the other information included in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, and the factors identified under “Safe Harbor” in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations. The risks described in the Annual Report are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently considers immaterial also may materially adversely affect its business, financial condition, and/or operating results. There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, other than as described below.below:

Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt business operations.We rely on information technology systems throughout the Company to keep financial records, process orders, manage inventory, coordinate shipments to distributors and customers, maintain confidential and proprietary information, and other technical activities, and operate other critical functions such as internet connectivity, network communications, and email. The Company stores confidential and proprietary information through cloud-based services that are hosted by third parties where we have less influence over security protocols. In addition, our customers may use certain of our products and solutions to transmit and/or process personal data and other sensitive information. Like many companies, we continually strive to meet industry information security standards relevant to our business. We periodically perform vulnerability assessments, remediate vulnerabilities, review log/access, perform system maintenance, manage network perimeter protection, implement and manage disaster recovery testing, and provide periodic educational sessions to our employees to foster awareness of schemes to access sensitive information. Despite our implementation of a variety of security controls and measures, as well as those of our third-party vendors, there is no assurance that such actions will be sufficient to prevent a cybersecurity incident. Further, as cybercrime and threats continue to rapidly evolve and become increasingly more difficult to detect and defend against, our current security controls and measures may not be effective in preventing cybersecurity incidents and we may not have the capabilities to detect certain vulnerabilities. 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.

Cybersecurity incidents can take a variety of forms including, unintentional events as well as deliberate attacks by individuals, groups and sophisticated organizations, such as state sponsored organizations or nation-state actors. Further, certain of our third party vendors have limited access to our employee and customer data and may use this data in unauthorized ways. Any such cybersecurity incident or misuse of our employees’ or customers’ data may lead to a material disruption of our core business systems, the loss or corruption of confidential business information, and/or the disclosure of personal data that in each case could result in an adverse business impact as well as possible damage to our 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 the Company. If our 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. Any failure on the part of us or our third-party service providers to maintain the security of data we are required to protect, including via the penetration of our network security and the misappropriation of confidential and proprietary information, could result in: business disruption; damage to our reputation; financial obligations to third parties; fines, penalties, regulatory proceedings; private litigation with potentially large costs; deterioration in our suppliers’, distributors’, and customers’ confidence in us; as well as other competitive disadvantages. Such failures to maintain the security of data could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. While we continue to perform security due diligence, there is always the possibility of a significant breach. In addition, any failure on the part of one of our contract manufacturers, distributors or resellers to maintain the security of its systems or data, including via the penetration of their network security or ransomware, could result in business disruption to us and damage to our reputation.

We rely on third-party dealers, distributors, and resellers to sell many of our products, services and solutions, and their failure to effectively bring our products, services and solutions to market may negatively affect our results of operation and financial results.In addition to our own sales force, we offer our products, services and solutions through a variety of third-party dealers, distributors, and resellers who may also market other products, services and solutions that compete with ours. Failure of one or more of our third-party dealers, distributors, or resellers to effectively promote our offerings could affect our ability to bring
35

Table of Contents
products, services and solutions to market and have a negative impact on our results of operations. Any changes to our channel program may cause some of our third-party dealers, distributors, or resellers to exit the program due to modifications to the program structure, which may reduce our ability to bring products and solutions to market and could have a negative impact on our results of operations.

Third-party dealers, distributors or resellers could also face additional costs or credit concerns resulting from an uncertain economic environment that would cause such parties to reduce purchases of our products, thereby causing a negative impact on our financial results. 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 resellers and we are unable to successfully transition end-customers to purchase our products and solutions from other third-parties or from us directly, it may cause, and in some cases, has caused, a negative impact on our financial results.

Our future operating results depend on our ability to purchase a sufficient amount of materials, parts, and components, as well as services and software to meet the demands of customers. We source some of our components from sole source suppliers. Any disruption to our suppliers or significant increase in the price of supplies, inclusive of transportation costs, or change in customer demand could have a negative impact on our results of operations.operations. Our ability to meet customers’ demands depends, in part, on our ability to obtain in a timely manner an adequate delivery of quality materials, parts, and components, as well as services and software from our suppliers, and our ability to deliver products, services and software to our customers. In addition, certain supplies are available only from a single source or limited sources and we may not be able to diversify sources in a timely manner. If demand for our products, solutions or services increases from our current expectations or if suppliers are unable or unwilling to meet our demand for other reasons, including as a result of natural disasters, public health issues, severe weather conditions, or financial issues, we could experience an interruption in supplies or a significant increase in the price of supplies that could have a negative impact on our business. We have experienced shortages in the past that have negatively impacted our results of operations and may experience such shortages in the future.
