Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Zebra Technologies Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Zebra” or the “Company”) is a global leader providing innovative Enterprise Asset Intelligence (“EAI”) solutions in the automatic identification and data capture solutions industry. We design, manufacture, and sell a broad range of products that capture and move data. We also provide a full range of services, including maintenance, technical support, repair, and managed services, including cloud-based subscriptions. End-users of our products and services include those in retail and e-commerce, transportation and logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, warehouse and distribution, energy and utilities, and education industries around the world. We provide our products and services globally through a direct sales force and an extensive network of channel partners. Management prepared these condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information and notes. As permitted under Article 10 of Regulation S-X and the instructions of Form 10-Q, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and notes required by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements, although management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The Company reclassified $41 million of costs from Accrued liabilities to Accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the period ended December 31, 2017 to conform to the current period presentation. A similar reclassification was made was made to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows resulting in a change to Accounts payable and Accrued liabilities within Net cash provided by operating activities for the period ended April 1, 2017. In the opinion of the Company, these interim financial statements include all adjustments (of a normal, recurring nature) necessary to present fairly its Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2018 , the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and April 1, 2017 , and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and April 1, 2017 . These results, however, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year ending December 31, 2018.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition. Revenue includes sales of hardware, supplies and services (including repair services and product maintenance service contracts, which typically occur over time, and professional services such as installation, integration and provisioning, which typically occur in the early stages of a project). The average life of repair and maintenance service contracts is approximately three years. The duration of professional service arrangements ranges from a day to several weeks or months. We recognize revenues when we transfer control of promised goods or services to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company elects to exclude from the transaction price sales and other taxes assessed by a governmental authority and collected by the Company from a customer. The Company also considers shipping and handling activities as part of the fulfillment costs, not as a separate performance obligation. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) applying the modified retrospective method to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). The Company has determined that the adoption of ASC 606 will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements or results of operations. The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated January 1, 2018 balance sheet related to the adoption of ASC 606 were as follows (in millions): As Reported December 31, 2017 Adjustment As Adjusted January 1, 2018 Assets: Inventories, net (1) $ 458 $ (3 ) $ 455 Prepaid expenses and other current assets (2) 24 7 31 Long-term deferred income taxes (3) 119 (5 ) 114 Other long-term assets (4) 65 12 77 Liabilities: Deferred revenue (5) 186 (2 ) 184 Long-term deferred revenue (6) 148 (6 ) 142 Stockholders’ Equity: Retained earnings 1,248 19 1,267 (1) Reflects an adjustment of $(3) million related to changes in revenue recognition patterns. (2) Reflects an adjustment of $7 million related to changes in revenue recognition patterns. (3) Reflects the income tax effect of the adjustments made related to the adoption of ASC 606. (4) Reflects an adjustment of $12 million related to the capitalization of costs to obtain contracts (primarily comprised of sales commissions associated with longer term support service contracts). (5) Reflects an adjustment of $(3) million related to reallocation of revenue between performance obligations and $1 million related to changes in the timing of revenue recognition. (6) Reflects an adjustment of $(6) million related to reallocation of revenue between performance obligations. Under the modified retrospective method of adoption, we are required to disclose the impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements had we continued to follow our accounting policies under the previous revenue recognition guidance. Had the Company applied the previous revenue recognition guidance, revenue would have been $1 million higher for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. See Note 3, Revenues for further information. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “ Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities .” On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted this ASU. ASU 2016-01 amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure for financial instruments. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “ Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) -Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments .” The new standard requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. It replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. There are two transition methods available under the new standard dependent upon the type of financial instrument, either cumulative effect or prospective. The standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. Earlier adoption is permitted only for annual periods after December 15, 2018. Management has assessed the impact of adoption of the new standard and determined there are no material impacts to the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures resulting from the adoption of this ASU In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “ Leases (Subtopic 842) .” This ASU increases the transparency and comparability of organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclosing key quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. The principal difference from previous guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases were not previously recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The recognition, measurement, presentation, and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed. This standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019, with early adoption permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. Management is currently assessing the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements; however, the impact from adoption of this ASU will be non-cash in nature and will not affect the Company’s cash position.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenues	Revenues As prescribed in ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Performance Obligations We enter into contract arrangements that may include various combinations of tangible products and services, which generally are capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. For these types of contract arrangements, we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract has more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue recorded in the reporting period. We use the accounting guidance on “capable of being distinct” and “distinct within the context of the contract” to help with the aforementioned evaluation. For contract arrangements that include multiple performance obligations, we allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices for the products and/or services underlying each performance obligation. When the standalone selling prices are not directly observable, we estimate the standalone selling prices primarily based on the expected cost-plus margin approach. For arrangements comprised strictly of the sale of product and performance of maintenance type services where the standalone selling price of the maintenance service is not discernible, we estimate the standalone selling price of the maintenance contract through the use of the residual approach. When the residual approach cannot be applied, regional pricing, marketing strategies and business practices are evaluated and analyzed to derive the estimated standalone selling price through the use of a cost-plus margin methodology. The Company recognizes revenue when transfer of control has occurred for the goods or services sold. Control is deemed to have been transferred when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and has obtained substantially all of the remaining benefits from the goods and services sold. The Company uses judgment in the evaluation of the following criteria: 1) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the transfer of goods or service; 2) the performance creates or enhances an asset that is under control of the customer; 3) the performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the customer and the Company has an enforceable right to payment, in order to determine whether control transfers at a point in time or over time. For each performance obligation satisfied over time, the Company measures its progress toward completion to determine the timing of revenue recognition. Judgment is also used in the evaluation of the following transfer of control criteria: 1) the Company has a present right to payment for the asset; 2) the legal title to the asset has transferred to the customer; 3) the customer has physical possession of the asset; 4) the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset; 5) the customer has accepted the asset, in order to determine when revenue should be recognized in a point in time revenue recognition pattern. Assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met, for products and services sold on a standalone basis, revenue is generally recognized upon shipment and by using an output method or time-based method respectively. In cases where a bundle of products and services are delivered to the customer, judgment is required to select the method of progress which best reflects the transfer of control. The Company’s remaining obligations that are greater than one year in duration relate primarily to repair and support services. The aggregated transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations related to these types of service arrangements is $448 million as of March 31, 2018 . We expect to recognize these performance obligations over the approximate three -year average contract term. For some of our transactions, products are sold with a right of return, and we may also provide other rebates, price protection, or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration by using the expected value or the most likely amount method and reduces the revenue by those estimated amounts, only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. These estimates are reviewed and updated, as necessary, at the end of each reporting period. Revenue recognized in the reporting period from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods was not material for the three-month ended March 31, 2018. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by product category for each of our segments, Asset Intelligence & Tracking (“AIT”) and Enterprise Visibility & Mobility (“EVM”), for the three-months ended March 31, 2018 (in millions): Three Months Ended March 31, Product Category Segment Tangible Products Services and Software Total AIT $ 313 $ 39 $ 352 EVM 526 99 625 Total $ 839 $ 138 $ 977 In addition, refer to Note 13, Segment Information for Net sales to customers by geographic region. We recognize revenue arising from performance obligations outlined in contracts with our customers that are satisfied at a point in time and over time. Substantially all of our revenue for tangible products is recognized at a point in time, whereby revenue for services and software is predominantly recognized over time. Contract Balances Progress on satisfying performance obligations under contracts with customers and the related billings and cash collections are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Accounts receivable, net and Prepaid expenses and other current assets. The opening and closing contract assets balances were $7 million and $6 million , respectively for the quarter ending March 31, 2018, and were recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These contract assets result from timing differences between the billing schedule and the products and services delivery schedules, as well as, the impact from the allocation of the transaction price among performance obligations for contracts that include multiple performance obligations. Our policy is to test these contract asset balances for impairment in accordance with ASC 310 Receivables . No impairment losses have been recorded in the first quarter of 2018. Deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, consist of payments and billings in advance of our performance. The combined short-term and long-term Deferred revenue balances were $345 million and $334 million at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. For the quarter ended March 31, 2018 , we recognized revenue of $65 million that was previously included in the beginning balance of deferred revenue. Our payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer and the products or services offered. The time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined that our contracts do not include a significant financing component. Costs to obtain a contract Our incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, which consist of sales commissions and incremental fringe benefits, are deferred and amortized over the weighted-average contract term, consistent with the guidance in ASC 340 Other Assets and Deferred Costs . The incremental costs to obtain a contract, which were previously expensed as incurred under ASC 605, and the determination of the amortization period are derived at a portfolio level and the amortization is completed on a straight-line basis. The adoption of ASC 606 required the capitalization of these costs which resulted in an adjustment to increase retained earnings. The Company recorded $12 million to Other Long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2018. The Company recognized $2 million of amortization expense related to commissions during the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 . The ending balance of the deferred commissions was $12 million as of March 31, 2018 . The Company elected a practical expedient allowed in ASC 606, whereby the incremental costs of obtaining a contract are expensed as incurred if the amortization period of the assets would otherwise be one year or less.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Costs Associated with Exit and Restructuring Activities	Costs Associated with Exit and Restructuring Activities In the first quarter of 2017, the Company’s executive leadership approved an initiative to continue the Company’s efforts to increase operational efficiency (the “Productivity Plan”). The Company expects the Productivity Plan to build upon the exit and restructuring initiatives specific to the acquisition of the Enterprise business (“Enterprise”) from Motorola Solutions, Inc. in October 2014, (the “Acquisition Plan”). The Company completed all initiatives under the Acquisition Plan as of December 31, 2017. Actions under the Productivity Plan include organizational design changes, process improvements and automation. Exit and restructuring costs are not included in the operating results of our segments as they are not deemed to impact the specific segment measures as reviewed by our Chief Operating Decision Maker and therefore are reported as a component of Corporate, eliminations. See Note 13, Segment Information . Total exit and restructuring charges of $16 million life-to-date specific to the Productivity Plan have been recorded through March 31, 2018 and relate to severance and related benefits and other expenses. Exit and restructuring charges of $4 million were recorded in the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 . Total remaining charges associated with this plan are expected to be in the range of $4 million to $8 million with activities expected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2018.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Financial assets and liabilities are to be measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC Topic 820, “ Fair Value Measurements .” Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into the following three broad levels: Level 1: 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 & 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, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. In addition, the Company considers counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of March 31, 2018 , are classified below (in millions): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Money market investments related to the deferred compensation plan $ 16 $ — $ — $ 16 Total Assets at fair value $ 16 $ — $ — $ 16 Liabilities: Foreign exchange contracts (1) $ — $ 11 $ — $ 11 Liabilities related to the deferred compensation plan 16 — — 16 Total Liabilities at fair value $ 16 $ 11 $ — $ 27 Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2017, are classified below (in millions): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Money market investments related to the deferred compensation plan $ 15 $ — $ — $ 15 Total Assets at fair value $ 15 $ — $ — $ 15 Liabilities: Forward interest rate swap contracts (2) $ — $ 18 $ — $ 18 Foreign exchange contracts (1) 2 9 — 11 Liabilities related to the deferred compensation plan 15 — — 15 Total Liabilities at fair value $ 17 $ 27 $ — $ 44 (1) The fair value of the derivative contracts is calculated as follows: a. Fair value of a put option contract associated with forecasted sales hedges is calculated using bid and ask rates for similar contracts. b. Fair value of regular forward contracts associated with forecasted sales hedges is calculated using the period-end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points. c. Fair value of hedges against net assets is calculated at the period-end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points unless the hedge has been traded but not settled at period end (Level 2). If this is the case, the fair value is calculated at the rate at which the hedge is being settled (Level 1). As a result, there were no transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 as of March 31, 2018 and $2 million as of December 31, 2017 . (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. See gross balance reporting in Note 7, Derivative Instruments .

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 credit risk 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 sales are designed to mitigate or eliminate concentrations of credit risk with any single customer. Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Management The Company conducts business on a multinational basis in a wide variety of foreign currencies. Exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from euro denominated external revenues, cross-border financing activities between subsidiaries, and foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The Company realizes its objective of preserving the economic value of non-functional currency denominated cash flows by initially hedging transaction exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through foreign exchange forward and option contracts. The Company manages the exchange rate risk of anticipated euro denominated sales using put options, forward contracts, and participating forwards, all of 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 Company’s 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 (losses) or gains were $(5) million and $1 million for the periods ending March 31, 2018, and April 1, 2017, respectively. As of March 31, 2018 , and December 31, 2017 , the notional amounts of the Company’s foreign exchange cash flow hedges were €387 million and €389 million , respectively. The Company has reviewed cash flow hedges for effectiveness and determined they are highly effective . The Company uses forward contracts, which are not designated as hedging instruments, to manage its exposures related to its Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar, Czech koruna, Euro, Australian dollar, Swedish krona, Japanese yen, and Singapore dollars denominated net assets. These forward contracts typically mature within one -month after execution. Monetary gains and losses on these forward contracts are recorded in income each quarter and are generally offset by the transaction gains and losses related to their net asset positions. The notional values and the net fair value of these outstanding contracts are as follows (in millions): March 31, December 31, Notional balance of outstanding contracts: British Pound/U.S. dollar £ 3 £ 13 Euro/U.S. dollar € 82 € 108 British Pound/Euro £ 5 £ 5 Canadian Dollar/U.S. dollar $ 1 $ 12 Czech Koruna/U.S. dollar Kč 368 Kč 361 Brazilian Real/U.S. dollar R$ 22 R$ 34 Australian Dollar/U.S. dollar $ 48 $ 55 Swedish Krona/U.S. dollar kr 13 kr 13 Japanese yen/U.S. dollar ¥ 250 ¥ 151 Singapore dollar/U.S. dollar S$ 3 S$ 4 Net fair value of (liability) asset of outstanding contracts $ — $ (2 ) Interest Rate Risk Management The Company’s debt consists of borrowings under two term loans (“Term Loan A” and “Term Loan B”), the Revolving Credit Facility and the receivables financing facility which bear interest at variable rates plus an applicable margin. See Note 8, Long-Term Debt . As a result, the Company is exposed to market risk associated with the variable interest rate payments on both term loans. The Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by utilizing interest rate swaps to hedge this exposure and to achieve a desired proportion of fixed versus floating-rate debt, based on current and projected market conditions. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In December 2017, the Company entered into an $800 million forward long-term interest rate swap agreement to lock into a fixed LIBOR interest rate base for debt facilities subject to monthly interest payments, including Term Loan A, the Revolving Credit Facility and receivables financing facility. Under the terms of the agreement, $800 million in variable-rate debt will be swapped for a fixed interest rate with net settlement terms due effective in December 2018. The changes in fair value of these swaps are not designated as hedges and are recognized immediately as Interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company previously had a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap, which was designated as a cash flow hedge. This swap was terminated and the hedge accounting treatment discontinued in 2014. The terminated swap has approximately $4 million remaining to be amortized through AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassified into net earnings through June 2021. Approximately $2 million is expected to be amortized and expensed in 2018. There was less than $1 million expensed by the Company in the first quarter of 2018. The Company has three interest rate swaps previously entered into for the purpose of converting floating-to-fixed rate debt. The first swap was entered into with a syndicated group of commercial banks for the purpose of moving from floating-to-fixed rate debt. The second swap largely offsets the first swap, moving from fixed-to-floating rate debt. Both of these instruments are not designated as hedges with the changes in fair value recognized in Interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The third swap entered into is an interest rate swap converting floating-to-fixed rate debt which was designated as a cash flow hedge and receives hedge accounting treatment. All three swaps have a termination date in June 2021. The changes in fair value of the active swap designated as a cash flow hedge are recognized in AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with any ineffectiveness immediately recognized in earnings. At March 31, 2018, the Company estimated that approximately $2 million in losses on the forward interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge will be reclassified from AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets into earnings during the next four quarters. 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. The following table presents the asset (liability) gross fair values and related offsetting counterparty fair values as well as the net fair value amounts at March 31, 2018 (in millions): Gross Fair Value Offsetting Counterparty Fair Value Net Fair Value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Counterparty A $ 4 $ 2 $ 2 Counterparty B 2 1 1 Counterparty C 2 1 1 Counterparty D 3 1 2 Counterparty E 2 1 1 Counterparty F (10 ) (1 ) (9 ) Counterparty G 2 — 2 Total $ 5 $ 5 $ — The notional amount of the interest rate swaps effective in each year of the cash flow hedge relationships does not exceed the principal amount of Term Loan B, which is hedged. The Company has reviewed the interest rate swap hedges for effectiveness and determined they are 100% effective. The interest rate swaps have future maturities consisting of the following notional amounts per year (in millions): Year 2018 $ 544 Year 2019 1,344 Year 2020 1,072 Year 2021 1,072 Year 2022 800 Notional balance of outstanding contracts $ 4,832

These fair value amounts represent the estimated value at which the Company’s lenders could trade its debt within the financial markets and does not represent the settlement value of these long-term debt liabilities to the Company. The fair value of the long-term debt will continue to vary each period based on fluctuations in market interest rates, as well as changes to the Company’s credit ratings. This methodology resulted in a Level 2 classification in the fair value hierarchy. Credit Facilities On July 26, 2017, the Company entered into the A&R Credit Agreement, which amended, modified, and added provisions to the Company’s previous credit agreement. The A&R Credit Agreement provides for Term Loan A of $688 million , Term Loan B of $2.2 billion and a Revolving Credit Facility of $500 million . As of March 31, 2018 , the Term Loan A interest rate was 3.51% , and the Term Loan B interest rate was 3.75% . Borrowings under Term Loan A and B bear interest at a variable rate. Term Loan B borrowings are subject to a floor of 2.75% . Interest payments are payable monthly or quarterly on Term Loan A and the Revolving Credit Facility and quarterly on Term Loan B. The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk on Term Loan B. See Note 7, Derivative Instruments . The A&R Credit Agreement also requires the Company to prepay certain amounts in the event of certain circumstances or transactions, as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement. The Company may make prepayments against the Term Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. The Term Loan A, unless amended, modified, or extended, will mature on July 27, 2021 (the “Term Loan A Maturity Date”). The Term Loan B, unless amended, modified, or extended, will mature on October 27, 2021 (the “Term Loan B Maturity Date”). The Revolving Credit Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes including letters of credit. As of March 31, 2018 , the Company had issued letters of credit totaling $5 million . The Revolving Credit Facility will mature and the related commitments will terminate on July 27, 2021. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate plus an applicable margin. As of March 31, 2018 , the Revolving Credit Facility had an average interest rate of 3.61% . As of March 31, 2018 , the Company had borrowings of $273 million against the Revolving Credit Facility. There was $275 million of borrowings against the Revolving Credit Facility in the prior year comparable period. Receivables Financing Facility On December 1, 2017, a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote, special-purpose entity (“SPE”) of the Company entered into the Receivables Purchase Agreement, which provides for a receivables financing facility of up to $180 million . The SPE utilizes the receivables financing facility in the normal course of business as part of its management of cash flows. Under its committed receivables financing facility, a subsidiary of the Company sells its domestically originated accounts receivables at fair value, on a revolving basis, to the SPE which was formed for the sole purpose of buying the receivables. The SPE, in turn, pledges a valid and perfected first-priority security interest in the pool of purchased receivables to a financial institution for borrowing purposes. The subsidiary retains an ownership interest in the pool of receivables that are sold to the SPE and services those receivables. Accordingly, the Company has determined that these transactions do not qualify for sale accounting under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets , and has, therefore, accounted for the transactions as secured borrowings. At March 31, 2018 , the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets included $351 million of receivables that were pledged and $86 million of associated liabilities. The receivables financing facility will mature on November 29, 2019. Borrowings under the receivables financing facility bear interest at a variable rate plus an applicable margin. As of March 31, 2018 , the receivables financing facility had an average interest rate of 2.72% and requires monthly interest payments. Both the Revolving Credit Facility and receivables financing facility include terms and conditions that limit the incurrence of additional borrowings and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels. Certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) guarantee the Term Loan A, Term Loan B, and the Revolving Credit Facility on a senior basis. For the period ended March 31, 2018 , the non-Guarantor Subsidiaries would have (a) accounted for 48.3% of our total revenue and (b) held 84.5% or $3.6 billion of our total assets and approximately 81.7% or $2.7 billion of our total liabilities including trade payables but excluding intercompany liabilities. On March 31, 2018 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Warranties In general, the Company provides warranty coverage of 1 year on mobile computers, printers and batteries. Advanced data capture products are warrantied from 1 to 5 years, depending on the product. Thermal printheads are warrantied for 6 months and battery-based products, such as location tags, are covered by a 90 -day warranty. The provision for warranty expense is adjusted quarterly based on historical warranty experience. The following table is a summary of the Company’s accrued warranty obligation (in millions): Three Months Ended March 31, April 1, Balance at the beginning of the period $ 18 $ 21 Warranty expense 7 6 Warranty payments (8 ) (7 ) Balance at the end of the period $ 17 $ 20 Contingencies The Company is subject to a variety of investigations, claims, suits, and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to, intellectual property, employment, tort, and breach of contract matters. The Company currently believes that the outcomes of such proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its business, cash flows, financial position, or results of operations. Any legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and the Company’s view of these matters and its potential effects may change in the future. The Company establishes an accrued liability for loss contingencies related to legal matters when the loss is both probable and estimable. In addition, for some matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible, an estimate of the amount of loss or range of loss is not possible, and we may be unable to estimate the possible loss or range of losses that could potentially result from the application of non-monetary remedies. In connection with the acquisition of the Enterprise business from Motorola Solutions, Inc., the Company acquired Symbol Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Motorola Solutions (“Symbol”). A putative federal class action lawsuit, Waring v. Symbol Technologies, Inc., et al. , was filed on August 16, 2005 against Symbol Technologies, Inc. and two of its former officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York by Robert Waring. After the filing of the Waring action, several additional purported class actions were filed against Symbol and the same former officers making substantially similar allegations (collectively, the New Class Actions”). The Waring action and the New Class Actions were consolidated for all purposes and on April 26, 2006, the Court appointed the Iron Workers Local # 580 Pension Fund as lead plaintiff and approved its retention of lead counsel on behalf of the putative class. On August 30, 2006, the lead plaintiff filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint (the “Amended Complaint”), and named additional former officers and directors of Symbol as defendants. The lead plaintiff alleges that the defendants misrepresented the effectiveness of Symbol’s internal controls and forecasting processes, and that, as a result, all of the defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the individual defendants violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The lead plaintiff alleges that it was damaged by the decline in the price of Symbol’s stock following certain purported corrective disclosures and seeks unspecified damages. The court has certified a class of investors that includes those that purchased Symbol common stock between March 12, 2004 and August 1, 2005. The parties completed fact and expert discovery. They also agreed to a schedule for the filing of dispositive motions, which the court so-ordered on February 12, 2018. However, by order entered on April 2, 2018, the court adjourned the deadlines for summary judgment briefing in light of the fact that the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the matter at the mediation held on March 15, 2018. The settlement is subject to approval of the Court pursuant to Rule 23(e) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and Zebra has reached agreements with certain of its insurers to fund the settlement. On April 30, 2018, the lead plaintiff commenced the process for obtaining the court’s approval of the settlement by filing a motion for preliminary approval of the class action settlement. Unclaimed Property Voluntary Disclosure Agreement (“VDA”) and Audits: The Company is currently under audit by several states related to its reporting of unclaimed property liabilities. Additionally, in December 2017, the Company entered into a VDA with the State of Delaware. The Company has engaged an outside consultant to facilitate the assessment of the estimated liability that may result from these activities, but has not progressed sufficiently in its assessment to quantify and record a contingency reserve for any unreported unclaimed property liabilities.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rates for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and April 1, 2017 were 18.0% and 500.0% , respectively. The variance from the 2018 federal statutory rate of 21% for the current period is attributable to the benefits of lower tax rates on foreign earnings, excess stock compensation benefits, return to provision adjustments, and U.S. tax credits. These benefits are partially offset by the impacts of foreign earnings taxed in the United States, the U.S. impact of the Enterprise Acquisition, and other permanent items. The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared with the prior year quarter is primarily the result the tax impacts of an intercompany sale of intellectual property, a rate change in Singapore, and enactment of U.S. tax reform. Pre-tax earnings outside the United States are primarily generated in the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Luxembourg, with statutory rates of 19% , 17% , and 27% , respectively. During 2017, the Company received approval from the Singapore Economic Development Board for a tax rate of 10% with the Company’s commitment to make increased investments in Singapore. The Singapore incentivized rate expires on December 31, 2018. Quarterly, Management evaluates all jurisdictions based on historical pre-tax earnings and taxable income to determine the need for valuation allowances. Based on this analysis, a valuation allowance has been recorded for any jurisdictions where, in the Company’s judgment, tax benefits will not be realized. The Company is currently undergoing U.S. Federal income tax audits for the years 2013 thru 2015, as well as UK income tax years 2012 and 2014. The tax years 2004 through 2016 remain open to examination by multiple foreign and U.S. state taxing jurisdictions. The Company continues to believe its positions are supportable, however, the Company anticipates that $22 million of uncertain tax benefits may be disallowed within the next twelve months and as such, has reflected this liability as current within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Due to uncertainties in any tax audit or litigation outcome, the Company’s estimates of the ultimate settlement of uncertain tax positions may change and the actual tax benefits may differ significantly from the estimates. Impact of U.S. Tax Reform Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA” or “the Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% , and requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred. Based on current operations, we estimate that the Company is subject to the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income and the Deduction for Foreign-Derived Intangible Income provisions of the Act. We estimate that the new limitations which defer U.S. interest deductions in excess of 30% of Adjusted Taxable Income are not applicable. Additionally, the Company is no longer able to deduct performance-based compensation for its covered employees which exceeds the limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). These impacts are included in the calculation of our annual estimated effective tax rate. At March 31, 2018, we continue to analyze the accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Act. As described below, we have made a reasonable estimate of the effects on our existing deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax. In other cases, we have not been able to make a reasonable estimate and continue to account for those items based on our existing accounting under ASC 740, Income Taxes, and the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to enactment. The Company has not recorded an adjustment to its state and local current or deferred income tax provision as a result of the Act. Guidance from state tax authorities which do not fully conform with the U.S. Internal Revenue Code is not available to allow the Company to estimate the financial statement impact at this time. Provisional amounts The Company remeasured U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21% . However, the remeasurement of deferred taxes requires further analysis regarding the state tax impacts of the remeasurement, the impact of the Act on the taxation of executive compensation arrangements, changes to tax capitalization provisions and other aspects of the Act that may impact our tax balances. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the provisional adjustment related to the remeasurement of all U.S. deferred tax balances was $35 million . For the period ended March 31, 2018, the Company has made no update to this amount. At December 31, 2017, we recorded a provisional amount for the one-time transition tax liability, resulting in an increase in income tax expense of $36 million . The Company will continue to evaluate the transition charge based on guidance issued. The transition tax is based in part on the amount of those earnings held in cash and other specified assets. This calculation may change when we finalize the calculation of post-1986 foreign E&P previously deferred from U.S. federal taxation and finalize the amounts held in cash or other specified assets. We have reduced our deferred tax asset for income tax credits by $10 million which is available to offset the one-time transition tax, resulting in an estimated cash tax liability of $26 million , which is to be remitted over the next eight years as follows: One-Time Transition Tax - Payments Due for Calendar Year Tax Returns 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 Unremitted Earnings Payments $ 2 $ 2 $ 2 $ 2 $ 2 $ 4 $ 5 $ 7 The Internal Revenue Service issued Notice 2018-26 on April 2, 2018. The Company has recalculated the transition tax liability per this notice resulting in an $8 million increase to the previously reported tax expense. This additional expense will be included as a component of Income tax expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period ending June 30, 2018. The Company earns a significant amount of its operating income outside of the U.S. The Company’s policy considers its U.S. investment in directly-owned foreign affiliates to be indefinitely reinvested. Under the Act, future unremitted foreign earnings will no longer be subject to tax when repatriated to its U.S. parent, but may be subject to withholding taxes of the payor affiliate country. Additionally, gains and losses on taxable dispositions of U.S.-owned foreign affiliates continue to be subject to U.S. tax.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Share	Earnings per Share Basic net earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares assuming dilution. Dilutive 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 stock options were exercised for common shares during the period. Earnings per share (in millions, except share data): Three Months Ended March 31, April 1, Basic: Net income $ 109 $ 8 Weighted-average shares outstanding 53,286,249 51,842,025 Basic earnings per share $ 2.04 $ 0.16 Diluted: Net income $ 109 $ 8 Weighted-average shares outstanding 53,286,249 51,842,025 Dilutive shares 699,506 1,104,858 Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding 53,985,755 52,946,883 Diluted earnings per share $ 2.01 $ 0.16 There were 584 outstanding options to purchase common shares that were anti-dilutive and excluded from the first quarter earnings per share calculation as of March 31, 2018 compared to 532,353 as of April 1, 2017 . Anti-dilutive securities consist primarily of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) with an exercise price greater than the average market closing price of the Class A common stock.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Stockholders’ equity includes certain items classified as Accumulated other comprehensive loss, including: • Unrealized (loss) gain on anticipated sales hedging transactions relates to derivative instruments used to hedge the exposure related to currency exchange rates for forecasted Euro sales. These hedges are designated as cash flow hedges, and the Company defers income statement recognition of gains and losses until the hedged transaction occurs. See Note 7, Derivative Instruments for more details. • Unrealized (loss) gain on forward interest rate swaps hedging transactions refers to the hedging of the interest rate risk exposure associated with the variable rate commitment entered into for the Acquisition. See Note 7, Derivative Instruments for more details. • Foreign currency translation adjustments relate to the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiary companies that have designated a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. The Company is required to translate the subsidiary functional currency financial statements to dollars using a combination of historical, period-end, and average foreign exchange rates. This combination of rates creates the foreign currency translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The components of Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) for the three -months ended March 31, 2018 and April 1, 2017 are as follows (in millions): Unrealized (loss) gain on sales hedging Unrealized (loss)/ gain on forward interest rate swaps Currency translation adjustments Total Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 6 $ (15 ) $ (36 ) $ (45 ) Other comprehensive (loss) income before reclassifications (6 ) 2 — (4 ) Amounts reclassified from AOCI (1) (1 ) 1 — — Tax benefit (expense) 1 (1 ) — — Other comprehensive (loss) income (6 ) 2 — (4 ) Balance at April 1, 2017 $ — $ (13 ) $ (36 ) $ (49 ) Balance at December 31, 2017 $ (9 ) $ (9 ) $ (34 ) $ (52 ) Other comprehensive (loss) income before reclassifications (6 ) 5 2 1 Amounts reclassified from AOCI (1) 5 1 — 6 Tax (expense) — (1 ) — (1 ) Other comprehensive (loss) income (1 ) 5 2 6 Balance at March 31, 2018 $ (10 ) $ (4 ) $ (32 ) $ (46 ) (1) See Note 7, Derivative Instruments regarding timing of reclassifications on forward interest rate swaps.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information The Company’s operations consist of two reportable segments: Asset Intelligence & Tracking (“AIT”) and Enterprise Visibility & Mobility (“EVM”). The reportable segments have been identified based on the financial data utilized by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the chief operating decision maker or “CODM”) to assess segment performance and allocate resources among the Company’s segments. The CODM reviews adjusted operating income to assess segment profitability. Adjusted operating income excludes purchase accounting adjustments, amortization, acquisition, integration and exit and restructuring costs. Segment assets are not reviewed by the Company’s CODM and therefore are not disclosed below. Financial information by segment is presented as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended March 31, April 1, Net sales: AIT $ 352 $ 322 EVM 625 544 Total segment net sales 977 866 Corporate, eliminations (1) — (1 ) Total net sales $ 977 $ 865 Operating income: AIT (3) $ 92 $ 74 EVM (3) 80 48 Total segment operating income 172 122 Corporate, eliminations (2) (28 ) (82 ) Total operating income $ 144 $ 40 (1) Amounts included in Corporate, eliminations consist of purchase accounting adjustments related to the Acquisition. (2) Amounts included in Corporate, eliminations consist of purchase accounting adjustments, amortization expense, acquisition and integration expenses, and exit and restructuring costs. (3) Effective January 1, 2018, the Company changed it’s methodology for allocating certain operating expenses across its two reportable segments to more accurately reflect where these operating costs are being incurred. The reallocations relate primarily to information technology, marketing and human resources expenses. Prior year segment operating results have been recast for comparability with the current year presentation. For the quarter ended April 1, 2017, $7 million of operating expenses were reclassified from AIT to EVM. For the full year ended December 31, 2017, $14 million of operating expenses were reclassified from AIT to EVM. There was no impact to Consolidated results as a result of these reclassifications. Information regarding the Company’s operations by geographic area is contained in the following table. These amounts are reported in the geographic area of the destination of the final sale. We manage our business based on regions rather than by individual countries. Net sales to customers by geographic region were as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended March 31, April 1, Europe, Middle East and Africa $ 349 $ 287 Latin America 56 53 Asia-Pacific 115 108 Total International 520 448 North America 457 417 Total net sales $ 977 $ 865

The average life of repair and maintenance service contracts is approximately three years. The duration of professional service arrangements ranges from a day to several weeks or months. We recognize revenues when we transfer control of promised goods or services to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company elects to exclude from the transaction price sales and other taxes assessed by a governmental authority and collected by the Company from a customer. The Company also considers shipping and handling activities as part of the fulfillment costs, not as a separate performance obligation. We recognize revenue arising from performance obligations outlined in contracts with our customers that are satisfied at a point in time and over time. Substantially all of our revenue for tangible products is recognized at a point in time, whereby revenue for services and software is predominantly recognized over time. Revenues As prescribed in ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Performance Obligations We enter into contract arrangements that may include various combinations of tangible products and services, which generally are capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. For these types of contract arrangements, we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract has more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue recorded in the reporting period. We use the accounting guidance on “capable of being distinct” and “distinct within the context of the contract” to help with the aforementioned evaluation. For contract arrangements that include multiple performance obligations, we allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices for the products and/or services underlying each performance obligation. When the standalone selling prices are not directly observable, we estimate the standalone selling prices primarily based on the expected cost-plus margin approach. For arrangements comprised strictly of the sale of product and performance of maintenance type services where the standalone selling price of the maintenance service is not discernible, we estimate the standalone selling price of the maintenance contract through the use of the residual approach. When the residual approach cannot be applied, regional pricing, marketing strategies and business practices are evaluated and analyzed to derive the estimated standalone selling price through the use of a cost-plus margin methodology. The Company recognizes revenue when transfer of control has occurred for the goods or services sold. Control is deemed to have been transferred when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and has obtained substantially all of the remaining benefits from the goods and services sold. The Company uses judgment in the evaluation of the following criteria: 1) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the transfer of goods or service; 2) the performance creates or enhances an asset that is under control of the customer; 3) the performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the customer and the Company has an enforceable right to payment, in order to determine whether control transfers at a point in time or over time. For each performance obligation satisfied over time, the Company measures its progress toward completion to determine the timing of revenue recognition. Judgment is also used in the evaluation of the following transfer of control criteria: 1) the Company has a present right to payment for the asset; 2) the legal title to the asset has transferred to the customer; 3) the customer has physical possession of the asset; 4) the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset; 5) the customer has accepted the asset, in order to determine when revenue should be recognized in a point in time revenue recognition pattern. Assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met, for products and services sold on a standalone basis, revenue is generally recognized upon shipment and by using an output method or time-based method respectively. In cases where a bundle of products and services are delivered to the customer, judgment is required to select the method of progress which best reflects the transfer of control. For some of our transactions, products are sold with a right of return, and we may also provide other rebates, price protection, or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration by using the expected value or the most likely amount method and reduces the revenue by those estimated amounts, only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. These estimates are reviewed and updated, as necessary, at the end of each reporting period. Revenue recognized in the reporting period from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods was not material for the three-month ended March 31, 2018. Our payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer and the products or services offered. The time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined that our contracts do not include a significant financing component. Costs to obtain a contract Our incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, which consist of sales commissions and incremental fringe benefits, are deferred and amortized over the weighted-average contract term, consistent with the guidance in ASC 340 Other Assets and Deferred Costs . The incremental costs to obtain a contract, which were previously expensed as incurred under ASC 605, and the determination of the amortization period are derived at a portfolio level and the amortization is completed on a straight-line basis. The adoption of ASC 606 required the capitalization of these costs which resulted in an adjustment to increase retained earnings.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) applying the modified retrospective method to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). The Company has determined that the adoption of ASC 606 will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements or results of operations. The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated January 1, 2018 balance sheet related to the adoption of ASC 606 were as follows (in millions): As Reported December 31, 2017 Adjustment As Adjusted January 1, 2018 Assets: Inventories, net (1) $ 458 $ (3 ) $ 455 Prepaid expenses and other current assets (2) 24 7 31 Long-term deferred income taxes (3) 119 (5 ) 114 Other long-term assets (4) 65 12 77 Liabilities: Deferred revenue (5) 186 (2 ) 184 Long-term deferred revenue (6) 148 (6 ) 142 Stockholders’ Equity: Retained earnings 1,248 19 1,267 (1) Reflects an adjustment of $(3) million related to changes in revenue recognition patterns. (2) Reflects an adjustment of $7 million related to changes in revenue recognition patterns. (3) Reflects the income tax effect of the adjustments made related to the adoption of ASC 606. (4) Reflects an adjustment of $12 million related to the capitalization of costs to obtain contracts (primarily comprised of sales commissions associated with longer term support service contracts). (5) Reflects an adjustment of $(3) million related to reallocation of revenue between performance obligations and $1 million related to changes in the timing of revenue recognition. (6) Reflects an adjustment of $(6) million related to reallocation of revenue between performance obligations. Under the modified retrospective method of adoption, we are required to disclose the impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements had we continued to follow our accounting policies under the previous revenue recognition guidance. Had the Company applied the previous revenue recognition guidance, revenue would have been $1 million higher for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. See Note 3, Revenues for further information. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “ Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities .” On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted this ASU. ASU 2016-01 amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure for financial instruments. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “ Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) -Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments .” The new standard requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. It replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. There are two transition methods available under the new standard dependent upon the type of financial instrument, either cumulative effect or prospective. The standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. Earlier adoption is permitted only for annual periods after December 15, 2018. Management has assessed the impact of adoption of the new standard and determined there are no material impacts to the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures resulting from the adoption of this ASU In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “ Leases (Subtopic 842) .” This ASU increases the transparency and comparability of organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclosing key quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. The principal difference from previous guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases were not previously recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The recognition, measurement, presentation, and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed. This standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019, with early adoption permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. Management is currently assessing the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements; however, the impact from adoption of this ASU will be non-cash in nature and will not affect the Company’s cash position.
Fair Value Measurements	Financial assets and liabilities are to be measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC Topic 820, “ Fair Value Measurements .” Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into the following three broad levels: Level 1: 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 & 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, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. In addition, the Company considers counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value.
Derivative Instruments	Derivative Instruments In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to global market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to such risks and may elect to designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging . The Company formally documents all relationships between designated hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking hedge transactions. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company recognizes derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures them at fair value.

Fair value of a put option contract associated with forecasted sales hedges is calculated using bid and ask rates for similar contracts. b. Fair value of regular forward contracts associated with forecasted sales hedges is calculated using the period-end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points. c. Fair value of hedges against net assets is calculated at the period-end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points unless the hedge has been traded but not settled at period end (Level 2). If this is the case, the fair value is calculated at the rate at which the hedge is being settled (Level 1). As a result, there were no transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 as of March 31, 2018 and $2 million as of December 31, 2017 . (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.
