Item 1. Business

The Company

Zebra is a global leader respected for innovation and reliability which offers products and solutions that enable organizations to gain greater insight into their operations. Improved visibility allows our customers to create value by managing their assets, transactions and people better.

Zebra’s extensive portfolio of marking, tracking and printing technologies, which include barcode, RFID and sensoring, captures physical events in digital form to give operational events a virtual voice. This capture enables organizations to know in real-time the location, condition, timing and accuracy of events occurring throughout their value chain. Once the events are seen, organizations can create new value from what is already there.

We design, manufacture and sell specialty printing devices that print variable information on demand at the point of issuance. These devices are used worldwide by manufacturers, service and retail organizations and governments for automatic identification, data collection and personal identification in applications that improve productivity, deliver better customer service and provide more effective security. Our product range consists of direct thermal and thermal transfer label and receipt printers, passive radio frequency identification (RFID) printer/encoders and dye sublimation card printers. We also sell a comprehensive range of specialty supplies consisting of self-adhesive labels, thermal transfer ribbons, thermal printheads, batteries and other accessories, including software for label design, application development and printer network management.

Zebra also designs and sells solutions incorporating active RFID and ultra wideband radio (UWB) technologies. These solutions help businesses locate and or track assets and people in real time. They use battery-powered wireless tags, fixed-position antennae, transponder modules and application software. We also provide consulting services, maintenance contracts and software licenses related to these solutions.

In July of 2012, Zebra acquired LaserBand LLC (a Missouri limited liability company). LaserBand is a leader in patient identification wristbands and related products. LaserBand strengthens Zebra’s product and patent portfolio and enables Zebra to offer a wider array of products to hospitals, other healthcare organizations and other customers that use wristbands in their operations.

In December of 2012, Zebra acquired StepOne Systems. StepOne is a mobility software company that empowers store associates by giving them access to product details as well as store and company inventories to better serve their customers. StepOne’s retail application platform is incorporated into Zebra’s fully integrated mobile point-of-sale (POS) offering, which retail customers use to create a more personal customer engagement and improve the overall shopping experience.

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

Discontinued Operations

Sale of Navis, LLC - On March 18, 2011, we sold our Navis marine terminal solutions business and the related WhereNet marine terminal solutions product line of our ZES business to Cargotec Corporation.

Sale of proveo AG - On August 3, 2011, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with F Two NV (a Belgium company) and sold all of our interest in Zebra Enterprise Solutions GmbH (formerly proveo AG) business.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2011, Zebra reported the results of these businesses as discontinued operations. The amounts presented in Zebra’s financial statements for discontinued operations include Navis and proveo assets and liabilities, and the operating results of these businesses for 2012, 2011 and 2010. With the sale of Navis, we integrated the remaining ZES business into our Location Solutions operations.

Continuing Operations

Zebra’s continuing operations include our printers, supplies and services businesses and our Location Solutions operations.

Zebra’s printer operations

We design our printer products to produce high-quality labels, wristbands, tickets, receipts, and plastic cards on demand. The exceptional diversity of applications using our printer products for barcoding and personal identification includes routing and tracking, patient safety, transaction processing, and identification and authentication. These applications require high levels of data accuracy, where speed, reliability and durability are critical. They also include specialty printing for receipts and tickets for improved customer service and productivity gains. Plastic cards are used for secure, reliable personal identification (state identification cards and drivers licenses), access control and financial cards (credit, debit and ATM cards) by financial institutions.

Applications for our printing solutions span most industries and geographies. They include inventory control, small package delivery, baggage handling, automated warehousing, just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing, employee time and attendance records, file management systems, patient barcode wrist banding, medical specimen labeling, shop floor control, in-store product labeling, employee ID cards, driver’s licenses, and access control systems.

We believe competitive forces on businesses worldwide drive them to strengthen security, reduce costs, more effectively manage assets, improve quality, deliver better customer service, and increase productivity which support the adoption of the printing and automatic identification applications Zebra provides. These solutions deliver significant and predictable economic benefits. Many of Zebra’s applications enhance the use of enterprise resource planning (ERP) and other process improvement systems in manufacturing and service organizations. Greater emphasis on supply chain management and the drive to reduce errors in healthcare are also increasing the use of automatic identification systems. Still other applications are taking advantage of recent advances in wireless and hand-held computing technologies.

Concern for safety and security and personal identification contribute to demand for our card printer products. This concern has heightened interest in systems that provide personal identification and access control, including secure ID systems for driver’s licenses, employee and visitor badges, national identification cards, event passes, club membership cards and keyless entry systems. Financial institutions utilize card printers for credit, debit and ATM cards.

Our printers are used to print barcode labels, receipts, plastic identification cards, wristbands, and tags and to encode passive RFID “smart” labels and cards.

We also sell related specialty labeling materials, thermal ink ribbons, and barcode label design and network management software. These products are used to support barcode labeling, personal identification and specialty printing solutions principally in the manufacturing supply chain, retail, healthcare and government sectors of the economy.

We produce the industry’s broadest range of rugged, on-demand thermal transfer and direct thermal printers. Our printing systems include hundreds of optional configurations that can be selected to meet particular customer needs. We believe this breadth of product offering is a unique and significant competitive strength.

Of the major printing technologies, which include ink jet, laser and impact dot matrix, we believe that direct thermal and thermal transfer technologies are best suited for most barcode labeling and other on-demand printing applications. Thermal transfer printing produces durable dark, solid blacks and sharply defined lines that are important for printing readily scannable barcodes. These images can be printed on a wide variety of labeling materials, which enable users to affix barcode labels to virtually any object. This capability is very important in the industrial and service sectors Zebra serves. Direct thermal printing is best suited where ease of use, smaller size and cost are important factors in the application. Accordingly, this technology is found principally in Zebra’s mobile and desktop units.

We work closely with distributors, value-added resellers, kiosk manufacturers and end users of our products to design and implement printing solutions that meet their technical demands. To achieve this flexibility, we provide our customers with a broad selection of printer models, each of which can be configured for specific applications. Additionally, we will select and, if necessary, create appropriate labeling stock, ink ribbons and adhesives to suit a particular application. In-house engineering personnel in software, mechanical, electronic and chemical engineering participate in the creation and development of unique printing solutions for particular applications.

5

As of December 31, 2013, we offered 57 thermal printer models with numerous variations, in seven categories as follows:

• Tabletop printers for applications requiring continuous operation in high output, mission-critical and industrial settings as well as demanding commercial applications.

• Desktop printers to deliver value and performance in applications with lower volume or space restrictions.

• Mobile printers to meet the printing needs of mobile workers in a broad range of industries.

• Print engines, which are sold to manufacturers and integrators of high-speed automatic label applicator systems and are available with or without RFID smart label capabilities.

• Kiosk and ticket printers for use in kiosks and other unattended printing applications.

• Card printers, which print and encode national identity cards, driver’s licenses, employee identification badges, gift cards, personalized cards and financial cards (credit, debit and ATM cards).

• RFID printer/encoders for passive high frequency and ultra-high frequency radio frequency identification in the retail supply chain, for defense logistics, and other applications. These units are used to print and encode “smart labels” in a single pass. Smart labels are printable labels embedded with an ultra-thin radio frequency transponder. Information encoded in these transponders can then be read and modified by a radio frequency reader.

In addition to their use in on-demand automatic identification applications, our thermal printers can also be used for on-site batch production of custom barcode labels and other graphics. This capability results in shorter lead times, reduced inventory and more flexibility than can be provided with traditional off-site printing.

Zebra’s Location Solutions

Zebra offers a range of solutions and services that enable businesses to have visibility into the location and movement of its personnel and assets with real-time locating systems.

Zebra’s Location Solutions incorporate active RFID technology. Our software and hardware locate, track, manage, and maximize the utilization of high-value assets, equipment, and people. Whether tracking pallets through a supply chain, the flow of work in process, optimizing product fulfillment, analyzing movement of professional athletes, or providing wide-area asset traceability, our real-time location solutions provide constant visibility and accurate location.

Zebra provides asset tags, call tags, sensors, exciters and application software. Each tag contains a unique ID that users can associate to a specific asset, part, workstation or person. The complementary technologies in our location solutions work seamlessly together to provide customers with asset visibility, tracking, and motion monitoring.

Applications for our location solutions span a broad array of industries where tracking assets, transactions and people are critical. Our location solutions are deployed primarily in industrial manufacturing, process industries, aerospace, transportation and logistics and healthcare environments.

Printer supplies

Supplies products consist of stock and customized thermal labels, wristbands, plastic cards, card laminates and thermal transfer ribbons. Zebra promotes the use of genuine Zebra branded supplies with its printing equipment.

We fully support our printers, resellers and end users with an extensive line of superior quality, high-performance supplies optimized to a particular user’s needs. Supplies are chosen in consultation with the reseller and end-user based on the specific application, printer and environment in which the labeling system must perform. These printing solutions frequently include proprietary ribbon and label formulations that are designed to optimize image resolution and printer performance while meeting the most demanding end-user application performance criteria. Factors such as adhesion, resistance to scratches, smudges and abrasion, and chemical and environmental exposures are all taken into account when selecting the type of ribbon and labeling materials. The use of supplies that are not carefully matched to specific printers can degrade image quality, and decrease the life of key printer components such as printheads.

Zebra also provides a family of self-laminating wristbands for use in laser printers. These wristbands are marketed under the LaserBand name.

Printer warranties

In general, Zebra provides one year of warranty coverage on our printers against defects in material and workmanship.

Thermal printheads are warranted for six months and batteries are warranted for one year. Battery-based products, such as location tags, are covered by a 90 day warranty. Zebra supplies are warranted against defects in material and workmanship for their stated shelf life or twelve months, whichever ends first. Defective equipment and supplies may be returned for repair or replacement during the applicable warranty periods.

Zebra’s technology

Our customers rely on Zebra to provide products and systems to help identify, authenticate, track or route both items and people, and then process the related transactions. These products and systems use technologies that provide specific benefits in each application.

All Zebra printers and print engines incorporate thermal printing technology, either direct thermal printing, thermal transfer printing or dye-sublimation printing. This technology creates an image by heating certain pixels of an electrical printhead to selectively image a ribbon or heat-sensitive substrate.

Direct thermal printers apply the heat directly to a thermally-sensitive label, wristband, or receipt to create an image. This form of thermal printing technology benefits applications requiring simple and reliable operations such as shelf labeling, patient identification, and kiosk receipts. Some desktop label printers, mobile printers and kiosk printers support only direct thermal printing.

Thermal transfer printers apply heat to a ribbon to release ink onto labels or tags. This form of thermal printing technology allows a wider range of specialty label materials and associated inks to be used for applications such as circuit board labels, chemical identification and product labels that require resistance to chemicals, extreme temperatures, abrasion, or labels requiring a long shelf life. Most of our printers in our high performance, midrange, print engine, desktop and mobile categories use thermal transfer printing but can also support direct thermal printing.

Dye-sublimation card printers apply heat to a ribbon to release a dye that is absorbed into a plastic card, retransfer film or treated paper. This process creates full-color, photographic quality images that are well-suited for driver’s licenses, access and identification cards, transaction cards, on-demand photographs, and financial cards (credit, debit and ATM cards).

Direct thermal and thermal transfer printers create crisp images at high speeds, making them ideal for printing easily readable text and machine readable barcodes. Dye sublimation thermal printers quickly create full-color images with visual characteristics more similar to halide-based film than to pixel-based ink jet or laser printers, making them ideal for high quality photographs and personalized plastic cards. Some printers also include HF (13.56 MHz) or UHF (860-960 MHz) RFID technology that can encode data into passive RFID transponders embedded in a label, card, or wristband.

7

Zebra’s printers integrate company-designed mechanisms, electrical systems and printer operating systems. Enclosures of metal or high-impact plastic ensure the durability of our printers. Special mechanisms optimize handling of labels, ribbons, and plastic cards. Fast, high-current electrical systems provide consistent image quality. Mobile printers use NiMH or LiIon batteries to optimize print quality over an extended operating shift. Our printer operating systems support serial, parallel, Ethernet, USB, infrared, Bluetooth, or 802.11a/b/g/n wireless communications with appropriate security protocols. Printing instructions can be received as a proprietary language such as the Zebra Programming Language II (ZPL II^®), as a print driver-provided image, or as user-defined XML. These features make our printers easy to integrate into virtually all common computer systems including those operating on UNIX, Linux, or Microsoft^® Windows^® operating systems. Some independent software vendors, including Adobe, Oracle and SAP, have included Zebra printing support in applications for healthcare, warehouse management, manufacturing, passenger transportation and retailing.

Printer sales and marketing

Sales.We sell our printer products primarily through distributors, value-added resellers (VARs), direct marketers, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). We also sell our printer products directly to a select number of named customer accounts. For media and consumables, we sell directly to end users through the Internet and inside operations. Distributors and VARs purchase, stock and sell a variety of automatic identification components from different manufacturers and customize systems for end-user applications using their systems and application integration expertise. Because these sales channels provide specific software, configuration, installation, integration and support services required by end users within various market segments, these relationships allow us to reach end users throughout the world in a wide variety of industries. We experience a minor amount of seasonality in sales, depending on the geographic region and industry served.

We functionally classify our direct VARs as Premier Partners, Advanced Partners, or Associate Partners, depending on their business competencies, depth and breadth of their sales teams, customer support capabilities, contributions to Zebra’s strategic goals and sales commitment to Zebra. In addition, we offer VARs the opportunity to earn certifications for mobile/wireless printers, supplies, services and RFID products in specific industries. We also sell through distributors, which in turn sell to an extended VAR community. All VARs, as well as OEMs and systems integrators, provide customers with a variety of automatic identification components including scanners, accessories, applications software and systems integration expertise, and, in the case of some OEMs, resell the Zebra-manufactured products under their own brands as part of their own product offering. We believe that the breadth of this indirect channel network, both in terms of variety and geographic scope, enhances our ability to compete and more effectively offer our solutions to a greater number of end users.

In some instances, we have designated a customer as a strategic account when the customer is in a targeted high-growth industry with applications using Zebra solutions that span multiple product categories. Zebra sales personnel, either alone or together with our channel partners, manage these strategic accounts to ensure their needs are being met.

The sales function also encompasses a team that manages three global alliances. They direct the business development strategies for third-party relationships that are strategic to new demand creation for specific vertical markets and/or specific applications.

Marketing.Marketing operations encompass global corporate marketing, field marketing, product marketing, industry marketing, market research and channel marketing functions. Corporate marketing manages our Zebra brand globally, corporate public relations, internal communications and our web site. Corporate marketing is also responsible for market research and planning and industry marketing. Product marketing focuses on market analysis, positioning, product launch support and analyzes Zebra’s competitive position. Field marketing encompasses demand generation, channel program management and marketing and sales enablement.

Printer production and manufacturing

We design our products to optimize product performance, quality, reliability, durability and versatility. These designs combine cost-efficient materials, sourcing and assembly methods with high standards of workmanship.

Final assembly of our printer products is performed by Jabil Circuit, Inc., a third-party electronics manufacturer. Jabil produces our printers to our design specifications in the quantities we order. We maintain control over portions of the supply chain including supplier selection and price negotiations of key components. Jabil is responsible for the procurement of the components and subassemblies used in the Zebra printers it produces. Zebra has a subsidiary located in Guangzhou, China, and has an office located near the Jabil facility in China where our products are assembled. This office is staffed with our sourcing, engineering and quality personnel to help ensure that we receive optimal raw material pricing, manufacturing process controls are maintained and the final printers meet our quality standards. The majority of our printers manufactured by Jabil are shipped to our regional distribution centers. A portion of products are reconfigured at Zebra’s distribution centers through firmware downloads, packaging and customer specific customization before they are shipped to customers. In addition, certain products are manufactured in accordance with Federal procurement regulations and various international trade agreements, and remain eligible for sale to the United States government.

Competition

Many companies are engaged in the design, manufacture and marketing of barcode label printers, RFID printer/encoders, card personalization and active RFID/Real Time Locating System (RTLS) solutions.

We consider our direct competition in barcode label and receipt printing to be producers of on-demand thermal transfer and direct thermal label printing systems, printer/encoders, mobile printers and supplies. We also compete with companies engaged in the design, manufacture and marketing of printing systems that use alternative technologies, such as ink-jet and laser printing. Many of these companies are substantially larger than Zebra.

Dye sublimation, the technology used in our card printers, is only one of several commercially available processes used to personalize cards. We also compete with companies that produce identification cards using alternative technologies, which include ink-jet, thermal transfer, embossing, film-based systems, encoders, laser engraving and large-scale dye sublimation printers. These card personalization technologies offer viable alternatives to Zebra’s card printers and provide effective competition from a variety of companies, many of which are substantially larger than us. In addition, service bureaus compete for end-user business and provide an alternative to the purchase of our card printing equipment and supplies.

We compete with a diverse group of small companies marketing RTLS solutions.

Our ability to compete effectively depends on a number of factors. These factors include the reliability, quality and reputation of the manufacturer and its products; hardware and software innovations and specifications; breadth of product offerings; information systems connectivity; price; level of technical support; supplies and applications support offered; available distribution channels; and financial resources to support new product design and innovation. We believe that Zebra presently competes favorably with respect to these factors.

We face competition in our printing business from many printer companies, including the following (listed in alphabetical order): Argox; Avery Dennison; Bixolon; Blue Bamboo; Boca Systems; Brother International; Canon; CIM; Citizen; Cognitive TPG; Custom; Danaher; Datacard; Datamax-O’Neil, a unit of Dover Corporation; Dymo, a Newell Rubbermaid Company; Epson; Evolis; Fargo Electronics, a unit of HID Global; Godex; Hewlett-Packard; Hitachi; Honeywell International Inc.; Lexmark International; MagiCard; Matica; Microcom; Mitsubishi; NBS Technologies; Nisca; Oki Data; Olympus; Practical Automation; Printronix; Sato; Seiko Instruments; Song Woo Electronics; Sony; Star Micronics; Taiwan Semiconductor; Toshiba TEC; Victor Data Systems; Woosim; and Xerox.

The supplies business is highly fragmented and competition is comprised of numerous competitors of various sizes depending on the geographic area.

Zebra’s competitors in the location solutions products include Aeroscout, Ekahau and Ubisense.

Alternative printing technologies

We believe thermal printing will be the preferred label, card and receipt printer technology in Zebra’s target applications for the foreseeable future. Among the many advantages of direct thermal and thermal transfer printing is the ability to print high-resolution, durable images on a wide variety of label materials at relatively low costs and high speeds compared with alternative printing technologies. We view passive RFID smart label encoding and active RFID location systems as complementary technologies to barcoded printing, offering growth opportunities for Zebra as the technologies become more widely adopted.

If other technologies were to evolve or become available, it is possible that those technologies would be incorporated into our products. Alternatively, if such technologies were to evolve or become available to our competitors, our products may become obsolete. This obsolescence would have a significant negative effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Therefore, we continually assess competitive and complementary methods of barcode printing and other means of automatic identification. Alternative print technologies include ink jet, laser and direct marking. While we cannot be certain that a new technology will not supplant thermal printing for labels, cards and receipts, we are not aware of any developing technology that offers the advantages of thermal printing for our targeted applications. We continually monitor and evaluate new RFID technologies, support standards development and rapidly adopt RFID into new Zebra products and systems as new markets and applications emerge.

Net sales to international customers, as a percent of total net sales, were as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2013			2012			2011
Percent of net sales		55.6	%		56.2	%		58.4	%

The percentage of international sales decreased in 2012 and 2013 due to the Laserband acquisition in July of 2012, which principally sells in North America. However, organically, international sales are likely to increase faster than domestic sales because of the lower penetration of automatic identification applications outside North America and Western Europe as well as generally higher economic growth rates in developing countries. As a result, Zebra has invested resources to support our international growth and currently operates facilities and sales offices, or has representation, in 30 different countries.

Research and Development

Zebra’s research and development expenditures for the last three years were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

	Year Ended December 31,

We devote significant resources to developing new innovative solutions for our target markets and ensuring that our products and solutions maintain high levels of reliability and value to our customers.

Intellectual Property Rights

Zebra relies on a combination of trade secrets, patents, trademarks, copyrights and contractual rights to establish and protect its innovations. We hold over 200 domestic and international trademarks. We hold over 700 United States and foreign patents and patent applications. The expiration of any individual patent would not have a significant negative impact on our business.

10

Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy portions of our products or to reverse engineer or otherwise obtain and use some technology and information that we regard as proprietary. Moreover, the laws of some countries do not afford Zebra the same protection to proprietary rights, as do United States laws. There can be no assurance that legal protections relied upon by Zebra to protect its proprietary position will be adequate. While Zebra’s intellectual property is valuable and provides certain competitive advantages, we do not believe that the legal protections afforded to our intellectual property are fundamental to our success.

Other trademarks mentioned in this report are the property of their respective holders and include UNIX, a registered trademark of UNIX Systems Laboratories; MS/DOS and Windows, registered trademarks of Microsoft; SAP, a registered trademark of SAP AG; and Linux, a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds. Bluetooth is a trademark owned by Bluetooth SIG and used by Zebra under license.

Employees

As of January 25, 2014, Zebra employed approximately 2,583 persons, of which 265 were corporate employees. None of our employees are members of a union. Some portions of our business, primarily in Europe and China, are subject to labor laws that differ significantly from those in the United States. For example, in Europe, it is common for a works council to represent employees when discussing matters such as compensation, benefits or terminations of employment. We consider our employee relations to be very good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Investors should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and other factors described below, as well as other disclosures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, because they could have a material adverse effect on Zebra’s business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows and growth prospects.

Final assembly of our thermal printers and most of our Location Solutions products is performed by Jabil Circuit, a third-party electronics manufacturer. We are dependent on Jabil as a sole-source of supply for the manufacture of such products. A failure by Jabil to provide manufacturing services to Zebra as Zebra requires, or any disruption in such manufacturing services, may adversely affect Zebra’s business results. Because we rely on a third-party provider such as Jabil to manufacture our products, Zebra may incur increased business continuity risks.Zebra is not able to exercise direct control over the assembly or related operations of its thermal printers and Location Solutions products. If Jabil experiences business difficulties or fails to meet Zebra’s manufacturing needs, then Zebra may be unable to satisfy customer product demands, lose sales and be unable to maintain customer relationships. Longer production lead times may result in shortages of certain products and inadequate inventories during periods of unanticipated higher demand. Without Jabil’s continuing manufacture of Zebra’s products, Zebra will have no other means of final assembly of its thermal printers and Location Solutions products until Zebra is able to secure the manufacturing capability at another facility or develop an alternative manufacturing facility. This transition could be costly and time consuming.

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

Zebra has significant operations outside the United States and sells a significant portion of its products internationally and purchases important components, including final products, from foreign suppliers.Zebra has significant operations outside of the United States which create significant risks. In addition, Zebra sells a substantial amount of its products to customers outside of the United States. Shipments to international customers are expected to continue to account for a material portion of net sales. Zebra also expects to continue the use of third-party contract manufacturing services with overseas production and assembly operations for our products.

Risks associated with operations, sales and purchases outside the United States include:

• Fluctuating foreign currency rates could restrict sales or increase costs of purchasing in foreign countries;

• Volatility in foreign credit markets may affect the financial well-being of our customers and suppliers;

• Adverse changes in, or uncertainty of, local business laws or practices, including the following:

• Foreign governments may impose burdensome tariffs, quotas, taxes, trade barriers or capital flow restrictions;

• Restrictions on the export or import of technology may reduce or eliminate the ability to sell in or purchase from certain markets;

• Political and economic instability may reduce demand for our products or put our foreign assets at risk;

• Potentially limited intellectual property protection in certain countries may limit recourse against infringing on our products or cause Zebra to refrain from selling in certain geographic territories;

• Staffing may be difficult and turnover higher at international operations;

• A government controlled exchange rate and limitations on the convertibility of the Chinese yuan;

• Transportation delays that may affect production and distribution of Zebra’s products; and

• Effectively managing and overseeing operations that are distant and remote from corporate headquarters may be difficult.

Customers have the right to return products that do not function properly within a limited time after delivery.Zebra monitors and tracks product returns and records a provision for the estimated future returns based on historical experience and any notification received of pending returns. Zebra, however, cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience return rates consistent with historical patterns.

Zebra may not be able to continue to develop products to address user needs effectively in an industry characterized by ongoing change.To be successful, Zebra must adapt to rapidly changing technological and application needs by continually improving its products as well as introducing new products and services to address user demands.

12

Zebra’s industry is characterized by:

• Evolving industry standards,

• Frequent new product and service introductions,

• Evolving distribution channels,

• Increasing demand for customized product and software solutions, and

• Changing customer demands.

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

Zebra competes in a competitive industry, which may become more competitive. Competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technology and changes in customer requirements.Zebra faces significant competition in developing and selling its products and solutions. Some competitors have substantial marketing, financial, development and personnel resources. To remain competitive, Zebra believes it must continue to effectively and economically provide:

• Technologically advanced systems that satisfy user demands,

• Superior customer service,

• High levels of quality and reliability, and

• Dependable and efficient distribution networks.

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

Zebra is vulnerable to the potential difficulties associated with the increase in the complexity of its business. Zebra has grown rapidly over the last several years through domestic and international growth. This growth has caused increased complexities in the business. We believe our future success depends in part on our ability to manage our growth and increased complexities of our business and the demands from increased responsibility. The following factors could present difficulties to us:

• Compliance with evolving laws and regulations in multiple international jurisdictions;

• Managing our distribution channel partners;

• Managing our contract manufacturing and supply chain;

• Manufacturing an increased number of products;

• Increased administrative and operational burden;

• Maintaining and improving information technology infrastructure to support growth;

• Increased logistical problems common to complex, expansive operations; and

• Increasing international operations.

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

Zebra could encounter difficulties in any acquisition it undertakes, including unanticipated integration problems and business disruption. Acquisitions could also dilute stockholder value and adversely affect operating results.Zebra may acquire or make investments in other businesses, technologies, services or products. An acquisition may present business issues which are new to Zebra. The process of integrating any acquired business, technology, service or product into our operations may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. Integration of an acquired company also may consume considerable management time and attention, which could otherwise be available for ongoing operations and the further development of our existing business. The expected benefits of any acquisition may not be realized.

13

Acquisitions also may involve a number of risks, including:

• Difficulties and uncertainties in retaining the customers or other business relationships from the acquired entities;

• The loss of key employees of acquired entities;

• The ability of acquired entities to fulfill their customer’s obligations;

• The discovery of unanticipated issues or liabilities;

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

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

• The acquired entities’ ability to implement internal controls and accounting systems necessary to be compliant with requirements applicable to public companies subject to SEC reporting.

Future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities.

Zebra sources some of its component parts from sole source suppliers.A disruption in the supply of such component parts could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet customer demand and negatively affect our financial results.

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

The inability to protect intellectual property could harm Zebra’s reputation, and its competitive position may be materially damaged.Zebra’s intellectual property is valuable and provides Zebra with certain competitive advantages. Copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets and contracts are used to protect these proprietary rights. Despite these precautions, third parties may be able to copy or reproduce aspects of Zebra’s intellectual property and its products or, without authorization, to misappropriate and use information which Zebra regards as its trade secrets.

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

Zebra’s products are subject to U.S. and non-U.S. foreign regulations that pertain to electrical and electronic equipment, which may materially adversely affect Zebra’s business. These regulations influence the design, components or operation of such products. New regulations and changes to current regulations are always possible and, in some jurisdictions, regulations may be introduced with little or no time to bring related products into compliance with these regulations. Zebra’s failure to comply with these regulations may prevent us from selling our products in a certain country. In addition, these regulations may increase our cost of supplying products by forcing us to redesign existing products or to use more expensive designs or components. In these cases, Zebra may experience unexpected disruptions in our ability to supply customers with products, or we may incur unexpected costs or operational complexities to bring products into compliance. This could have an adverse effect on Zebra’s revenues, gross profit margins and results of operations and increase the volatility of our financial results.

Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt business operations.Like many companies, Zebra continually strives to meet industry information security standards relevant to our business. We regularly perform vulnerability assessments, remediate vulnerabilities, review log/access, perform system maintenance, manage network perimeter protection and implement and manage disaster recovery testing.

A cyber-attack that breaches our external perimeter may lead to a material disruption of our core business systems and/or lead to the loss or corruption of confidential business information that could result in an adverse business impact, as well as, possible damage to the Zebra brand. This could also lead to a public disclosure or theft of private intellectual property and a possible loss of customer confidence.

14

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

Zebra products that are deployed in customer environments also have the possibility of being breached, which could result in damage to a customer’s confidentiality, integrity and availability of the customer’s data and systems.

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

Zebra depends on the ongoing service of its senior management and ability to attract and retain other key personnel.The future success of Zebra is substantially dependent on the continued service and continuing contributions of senior management and other key personnel.

The ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees is important to Zebra’s long-term success. Competition for skill sets in certain functions within our industry is intense, and Zebra may be unable to retain key employees or attract, assimilate or retain other highly qualified employees in the future.

Terrorist attacks or war could lead to further economic instability and adversely affect Zebra’s stock price, operations, and profitability.The terrorist attacks that occurred in the United States on September 11, 2001, caused major instability in the U.S. and other financial markets. The possibility of further acts of terrorism and current and future war risks could have a similar impact. Any such attacks could, among other things, cause further instability in financial markets and could directly, or indirectly through reduced demand, negatively affect Zebra’s facilities and operations or those of its customers or suppliers.

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

Economic conditions and financial market disruptions may adversely affect Zebra’s business and results of operations.Adverse economic conditions or reduced information technology spending may adversely impact our business.Financial markets throughout the world experienced extreme disruption from 2008 through 2009, resulting in historically high volatility in security prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, rating downgrades of certain investments and declining valuations of others, failure and potential failures of major financial institutions and unprecedented government support of financial institutions and corporations. A recurrence of these developments and a related general economic downturn could adversely affect Zebra’s business and financial condition through a reduction in demand for our products by our customers. If a slowdown were severe enough, it could require further impairment testing and write-downs of goodwill and other intangible assets. Cost reduction actions may be necessary and lead to restructuring charges. A tightening of financial credit could adversely affect our customers, suppliers, outsource manufacturer and channel partners (e.g., distributors and resellers) from obtaining adequate credit for the financing of significant purchases. Another economic downturn could also result in a decrease in or cancellation of orders for Zebra’s products and services; negatively impact Zebra’s ability to collect its accounts receivable on a timely basis; result in additional reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable; and require additional reserves for inventory obsolescence. Higher volatility and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for the U.S. dollar against currencies such as the euro, the British pound, the Chineseyuan, and the Brazilian real could negatively impact product sales, margins and cash flows.

A natural disaster may cause supply disruptions that could adversely affect Zebra’s business and results of operations.As reported, a powerful earthquake centered off the northeastern coast of Japan on March 11, 2011, resulted in the loss of many lives, wide-spread damage to and destruction of property, disruption of electric power, and the release of radiation from a crippled nuclear power plant. This devastation disrupted the operations to varying degrees of companies with business activity in the affected region, including the business of Zebra suppliers. Other natural disasters may occur in the future and Zebra is not able to predict to what extent or duration any such disruptions will have on our ability to maintain ordinary business operations. The consequences of an unfortunate natural disaster may have a material adverse effect on Zebra’s business and results of operations.

Consolidated Results of Operations – Fourth quarter

Sales

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with the same quarter in 2012, increased 12.4% as a result of increased sales across all product and service categories. Sales benefited from a general improvement in business conditions, with notable sales growth to customers in retail and manufacturing. Printer unit volume growth of 14.6% was partially offset by a 3.1% decline in average printer selling price. The acquisition of Hart Systems LLC, which occurred in December 2013, did not have a material effect on 2013 fourth quarter sales or financial results.

Sales by product category were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages):

	Three Months Ended						Percent of Net  Sales 2013		Percent of Net  Sales 2012
Product category	December 31, 2013		December 31, 2012		Percent Change

Printer unit volumes and average selling price information is summarized below:

	Three Months Ended				Percent        Change
	December 31,		December 31,
	2013		2012
Total printers shipped		368,204		321,314		14.6
Average selling price of printers shipped	$	462	$	477		(3.1)

For the fourth quarter of 2013, unit volumes increased across all printer categories. The decrease in average selling price is a result of a change in product mix toward lower priced products in the 2013 quarter compared to the corresponding 2012 quarter.

Sales growth in North America, Asia Pacific and the Europe, Middle East and Africa region was partially offset by a sales decline in Latin America. Movement in foreign currency, net of hedge activity, increased sales by $1,979,000.

Sales to customers by geographic region were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

	Three Months Ended						Percent of Net  Sales 2013		Percent of Net  Sales 2012

Total net sales	$	284,539	$	253,179		12.4		100.0		100.0

Gross profit

Gross profit increased 13.3% for the fourth quarter of 2013 versus the fourth quarter of 2012. As a percentage of sales, gross margin increased from 49.2% to 49.6%, primarily due to higher volume. Favorable foreign currency movements, net of hedges, increased fourth quarter gross profit by $1,672,000.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses are summarized below (in thousands, except percentages):

	Three Months Ended						Percent of Net  Sales 2013		Percent of Net  Sales 2012
	December 31,		December 31,		Percent
Operating expenses	2013		2012		Change

Total operating expenses	$	91,949	$	80,342		14.4		32.3		31.7

Operating expenses for the quarter increased 14.4% primarily from increased expenses for compensation, outside professional services, information systems, and depreciation. The increase in amortization expense is related to the acquisition of certain patent rights in December 2012. Acquisition costs relate to investigated, and completed mergers and acquisitions during the period. Exit and restructuring costs in 2013 relate to the restructuring of the Location Solutions business management structure.

22

Operating income

Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, increased 11.2%. The combination of sales growth and related improvement in gross margin contributed to the increase in operating income.

Income taxes

The effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 17.3% compared with 21.0% for the same quarter in the prior year. This decrease is due to a combination of higher profits in lower-rate international jurisdictions and the implementation of the foreign holding company structure. In addition, the company recorded a favorable provision to return adjustment of $394,000, resulting in a reduction to the effective tax rate following the filing of the companies UK & Singapore income tax returns.

Consolidated Results of Operations – Full Year

Net sales for 2013 compared with 2012 increased 4.2% as a result of growth across most product categories with notable increases in supplies, service and software. The growth in supplies, due to the LaserBand acquisition in July 2012, partially offset weak business conditions from the first half of 2013. Printer unit volumes increased 4.9% for 2013 compared to 2012 due to volume increases in desktop, mobile, kiosk and card printers. Movement towards lower-priced printers partially offset unit volume increases. Movement in foreign currency, net of hedge activity, partially offset sales growth by $2,807,000.

Sales by product category were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages):

	Year Ended						Percent of Net Sales		Percent of Net Sales
	December 31,		December 31,		Percent

Total printers shipped		1,321,624		1,260,141		4.9
Average selling price of printers shipped	$	469	$	485		(3.3)

Product unit volumes increased 4.9% in 2013 over the prior year. This was due to increased volumes in desktop, mobile, kiosk and card printers. The average selling price reflects a change in product mix toward lower priced products from year to year.

North America, Asia Pacific and Europe, Middle East and Africa contributed to an overall growth of 4.2% with notable increases in supplies and printer sales. The growth in supplies, which includes labels and wristbands, is the result of the Laserband acquisition in July of 2012 plus organic growth in supplies.

Total net sales	$	1,038,159	$	996,168		4.2		100.0		100.0

Gross profit

Gross profit increased 2.4% due to higher volumes partially offset by unfavorable movements in product mix. Movements in foreign currency, net of hedges, decreased gross profit by $1,014,000.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses are summarized below (in thousands, except percentages):

	Year Ended
Operating Expenses	December 31, 2013		December 31, 2012		Percent Change		Percent of Net Sales  2013		Percent of Net Sales  2012

Total operating expenses	$	343,346	$	327,293		4.9		33.1		32.9

Operating expenses for 2013 increased 4.9%. The increase is due to increased expenses across all functional areas offset by the absence of a goodwill impairment charge which represents 2.8% of 2012 operating expenses. The acquisition of both LaserBand and StepOne contributed to the increase in Zebra’s operating expenses. Several categories accounted for these increases, including compensation costs, outside professional services, depreciation and information systems expenses. Acquisition costs are related to investigated and completed acquisitions during the period. Amortization of intangible assets increased from additions of current technology, patent and patent rights and customer relationships during the year, including the acquisition of LaserBand in July 2012. Exit and restructuring costs in 2012 and 2013 primarily relate to the restructuring of the Location Solutions business management structure.

25

Exit and restructuring costs

During the third quarter of 2012, revenue from Location Solutions fell below plan from slower than anticipated growth in the automotive and process manufacturing industries and weakness in the government sector. As a result, we initiated the Locations Solutions 2012 restructuring plan.

In the second quarter of 2013, management determined that additional restructuring actions would be required to meet our financial goals for the Location Solutions business. We anticipate that the results of our restructuring actions will reduce costs of the Location Solutions business by $4,000,000 per year. These savings should be fully realized by the first quarter 2014. The savings from the Location Solutions restructuring plan will primarily benefit cost of goods sold, engineering and selling and marketing expenses.

During 2007, Zebra began a plan to outsource printer manufacturing to a third-party contract manufacturer. The transition to the third-party manufacturer was completed during 2010. During the fourth quarter of 2012, we determined that further supply chain cost reductions were possible by moving certain supply chain support operations closer to our contract printer manufacturer’s facility, which is located in China. We anticipate these actions will generate $2,600,000 in annual savings to our cost of goods sold. These actions were completed by the end of 2013.

Operating income

The operating income decrease for 2013 was the result of operating expense increases as noted above and partially offset by higher gross profit.

Other income (expense)

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

	Year Ended
	December 31,			December 31,
	2013			2012
Investment income	$	2,366		$	2,485
Foreign exchange loss		(524	)		(941	)
Other, net		1,721			(1,721	)
Total other income (expense)	$	3,563		$	(177	)

The increase in other income is the result of a net $1,557,000 favorable litigation settlement associated with an investment loss that was recorded in prior years.

	Year Ended
Rate of return analysis:	December 31, 2013			December 31, 2012
Average cash and marketable securities balances	$	404,935		$	360,385
Annualized rate of return		0.6	%		0.7	%

Investment income decreased due to a lower yield on invested financial assets compared with 2012, even though cash and investment balances were higher in 2013 versus 2012.

Income taxes

The effective income tax rate for 2013 was 18.1% compared with an income tax rate of 25.8%. The 2012 rate reflects a discrete item for nondeductible asset impairment charge, increasing the tax rate by 1.9% for the full year. Further, in 2012, in order to streamline the management, financing and capital structure of its foreign affiliates, Zebra established a foreign holding company and restructured the ownership structure of its foreign affiliates. This new holding company structure allows Zebra to consolidate the ownership of its significant foreign affiliates under a single holding company. In addition, the structure introduced leverage which gives Zebra the ability to facilitate cash pooling and improve the capital structure of its non-US operations. The new capital structure and global financing favorably impacts the Zebra’s effective tax rate and facilitates the tax efficient movement of Zebra’s foreign cash to finance the ongoing operating and investment needs of the foreign subsidiaries. The restructuring was completed in the second quarter of 2012 and was in place for the full year in 2013. In addition, the US R&D credit reinstatement for the 2012 income tax year resulted in a tax benefit of $900,000. Finally, Zebra recorded a favorable provision to return adjustment resulting in a reduction to the effective tax rate of 1.1% following the filing of Zebra’s 2012 income tax returns.

Consolidated Results of Operations – Full Year

Net sales for 2012 compared with 2011 increased 1.3%. This increase is primarily due to growth in sales of supplies, including the impact of the acquisition of LaserBand LLC in July 2012. Printer unit volumes increased 6.0% for 2012 compared to 2011 due to volume increases in desktop, mobile and card printers. Movement towards lower-priced printers partially offset unit volume increases.

Sales increased in Latin America due to improved geographic coverage with notable increases in supplies, mobile, and card printer sales compared to 2011. Sales in North America increased due to increased sales of supplies and continued demand for desktop, card and tabletop printers. Zebra continues to build a broader base of customers to penetrate targeted industries more deeply. Movements in foreign exchange rates decreased sales by $12,139,000 in the Europe, Middle East and Africa regions due principally to a weaker euro against the U.S. dollar.

Total net sales	$	996,168	$	983,488		1.3		100.0		100.0

Gross profit

Gross profit increased 1.0% due to higher volumes and lower material costs. Lower freight costs in 2012 of $5,042,000 versus 2011 helped improve gross profit while unfavorable movements in foreign currency decreased gross profit by $9,923,000. The above factors contributed to the slight decrease in gross margin from 49.5% to 49.4%.

	Year Ended				Percent Change
	December 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
Total printers shipped		1,260,141		1,188,892		6.0
Average selling price of printers shipped	$	485	$	527		(7.9)

Product unit volumes increased 6.0% in 2012 over the prior year. This was due to increased volumes in desktop, mobile and card printers. The average selling price reflects a change in product mix toward lower priced products from year to year.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses are summarized below (in thousands, except percentages):

	Year Ended				Percent Change		Percent of Net  Sales 2012		Percent of Net  Sales 2011
	December 31,		December 31,
Operating Expenses	2012		2011
Selling and marketing	$	129,906	$	127,797		1.7		13.0		13.1
Research and development		87,364		89,926		(2.8)		8.8		9.1
General and administrative		92,167		81,345		13.3		9.3		8.3
Amortization of intangible assets		4,673		3,320		40.8		0.5		0.3
Acquisition costs		3,109		304		N/M		0.3		0.0
Exit and restructuring costs		960		2,041		(53.0)		0.1		0.2
Asset impairment charge		9,114		0		N/M		0.9		0.0
Total operating expenses	$	327,293	$	304,733		7.4		32.9		31.0

Operating expenses for 2012 increased 7.4%. This is primarily due to greater selling and marketing and general and administrative expenses. The asset impairment charge accounted for 40.4% of the total increase in 2012. Several other categories accounted for these increases, including compensation costs, outside professional services, rent, depreciation and information systems expenses. Acquisition costs are related to investigated and completed acquisitions during the period. Amortization of intangible assets increased due to additions of current technology, patent and patent rights and customer relationships during the year as a result of the acquisition of LaserBand. Exit and restructuring costs in 2012 relate to the restructuring of the Location Solutions business management structure while costs in 2011 relate to the relocation and consolidation of administrative, accounting and distribution functions of our Location Solutions operations to Illinois. The asset impairment charge in 2012 relates to the goodwill associated with Zebra’s smaller reporting unit.

28

Operating income

The operating income decrease for 2012 was the result of operating expense increases as noted above and partially offset by higher gross profit.

Other income (expense)

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

	Year Ended
	December 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
Investment income	$	2,485	$	1,944
Foreign exchange loss		(941)		(2,006)
Other, net		(1,721)		(2,255)
Total other income (expense)	$	(177)	$	(2,317)

Other expense decreased in 2012 as a result of decreases in foreign exchange losses.

	Year Ended
Rate of return analysis:	December 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
Average cash and marketable securities balances	$	360,385	$	292,646
Annualized rate of return		0.7%		0.7%

Investment income increased overall from higher cash and investment balances in 2012 versus 2011.

Income taxes

The effective income tax rate for 2012 was 25.8% compared with an income tax rate of 27.5% for 2011. During 2012, Zebra established a foreign holding company structure that is designed to accomplish various international business objectives. This new holding company structure allows Zebra to consolidate the ownership of its significant foreign affiliates under a single holding company. In addition, the structure introduced leverage and gives Zebra the ability to facilitate cash pooling for its non-US operations. This favorably impacts the Zebra’s effective tax rate, and provides for the tax efficient movement of cash within the structure to efficiently deploy cash generated by the foreign subsidiaries for various uses, including potential acquisitions. The structure was put in place in the second quarter of 2012. These reductions were offset by a discrete item in the third quarter of 2012 related to a non-deductible asset impairment charge which increased the effective tax rate for 2012 by 1.9%. The rate in 2011 included a tax valuation allowance in the first quarter of 2011 against a subsequently divested subsidiary.

Income from discontinued operations

The income from discontinued operations in 2012 is related to an amendment and extension of the proveo loan agreement and reversal of amounts previously reserved which were related to the finalization of the accounting and taxes. The income from discontinued operations in 2011 relates to the sale of Navis LLC and proveo AG, offset by losses on discontinued operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

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

Revenue Recognition

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

Customer returns

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

29

Growth Rebates

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

Price Protection

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

Software Revenue

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

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

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

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

• We recognize license revenue under ASC (Accounting Standards Codification) 985, when (1) a signed contract is obtained; (2) delivery of the product has occurred; (3) the license fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection is probable.

Maintenance and Support Agreements

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

Shipping and Handling

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

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

Investments and Marketable Securities

The composition of investments and marketable securities at December 31, 2013, was as follows:

U.S. government and agency securities	25.4	%
Obligations of government sponsored enterprises (1)	9.5	%
State and municipal bonds	14.6	%
Corporate securities	47.2	%
Other investments	3.3	%

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

30

Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are those debt securities that Zebra has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale.

Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of discounts or premiums. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized.

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

Accounts Receivable

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

• Credit reviews of all new customer accounts,

• Ongoing credit evaluations of current customers,

• Credit limits and payment terms based on available credit information,

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

• Active collection efforts by regional credit functions, reporting directly to the corporate financial officers, and

• Limited credit insurance on the majority of our international revenues.

We reserve for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and specific customer collection issues. Over the last three years, accounts receivable reserves varied from 0.3% to 0.9% of total accounts receivable. Accounts receivable reserves as of December 31, 2013, were $453,000, or 0.3% of the balance due. We believe this reserve level is appropriate considering the quality of the portfolio as of December 31, 2013. While credit losses have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that our credit loss experience will continue to be consistent with historical experience.

Inventories

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

Over the last three years, our inventory reserves have ranged from 8.8% to 11.9% of gross inventory. As of December 31, 2013, inventory reserves were $12,561,000, or 9.4% of gross inventory. We believe this reserve level is appropriate considering the quantities and quality of the inventories as of December 31, 2013.

Valuation of Goodwill

We test the impairment of goodwill each year as of the end of May or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We completed our annual qualitative assessment, in accordance with ASU 2011-08Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), during June 2013 and determined that our goodwill was not impaired as of the end of May 2013.

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

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

• Adverse action or assessment by a regulator,

• Unanticipated competition,

• Loss of key personnel,

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

31

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

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

In accordance with ASU 2011-08, Zebra’s qualitative analysis determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of our goodwill is less than the carrying amount and therefore, performing the two-step impairment test was not necessary. If Zebra concluded otherwise, we would perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value and comparing the fair value to the carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeded the fair value, we would perform the second step of goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill.

There have not been any significant changes to our impairment testing methodology other than updating the assumptions to reflect the current market environment. Zebra will monitor future results and will perform a test if indicators trigger an impairment review.

Valuation of Long-Lived and Other Intangible Assets

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

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

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

• Significant negative industry or economic trends,

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

• Significant decline in market capitalization relative to net book value.

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

Net intangible assets, long-lived assets and goodwill amounted to $334,356,000 as of December 31, 2013.

Income Taxes

On January 1, 2007, we adopted ASC 740. According to ASC 740, Zebra identified, evaluated, and measured the amount of income tax benefits to be recognized for all of our income tax positions

Zebra’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we did not accrue any interest or penalties into income tax expense.

We are currently undergoing an audit of the 2011 and 2012 US federal income tax returns. The tax years 2009 through 2012 remain open to examination by multiple state taxing jurisdictions. Tax authorities in the United Kingdom have completed income tax audits for tax years through 2011.

Included in deferred tax assets are amounts related to federal and state net operating losses that resulted from Zebra’s acquisition of WhereNet Corp. As of December 31, 2013, Zebra had approximately $8,252,000 of net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income which expire in 2022 through 2027. As of December 31, 2013, Zebra had approximately $26,980,000 of state net operating loss carryforwards which expire in 2013 through 2020. Zebra’s intention is to utilize these net operating loss carryforwards to offset future income tax expense. Under the United States Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amount of benefits from net operating loss carryforwards may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances, including significant changes in ownership interests.

	Year Ended
	December 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
Effective tax rate		18.1%		25.8%

During 2012, in order to streamline the management, financing and capital structure of its foreign affiliates, Zebra established a foreign holding company and restructured the ownership structure of its foreign affiliates. This new holding company structure allows Zebra to consolidate the ownership of its significant foreign affiliates under a single holding company. In addition, the structure introduced leverage which gives Zebra the ability to facilitate cash pooling and improve the capital structure of its non-US operations. The new capital structure and global financing favorably impacts the Zebra’s effective tax rate, and facilitates the tax efficient movement of Zebra’s foreign cash to finance the ongoing operating and investment needs of the foreign subsidiaries. The restructuring was completed in the second quarter of 2012 and was in place for the full year in 2013.

Contingencies

Zebra records estimated liabilities related to contingencies based on our estimates of the probable outcomes. Quarterly, Zebra assesses the potential liability related to pending litigation, tax audits and other contingencies and confirm or revise estimates and reserves as appropriate.

For further information regarding material pending legal proceedings, see Note 12 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K.

Equity-Based Compensation

As of December 31, 2013, Zebra had an active equity-based compensation plan and a stock purchase plan available for future grants. We accounted for these plans in accordance with ASC 505 and ASC 718. Zebra recognizes compensation costs using the straight-line method over the vesting period of up to 5 years. See Notes 2 and 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K for further information.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

(Amounts in thousands, except percentages):

	Year Ended
Rate of Return Analysis:	December 31, 2013			December 31, 2012
Average cash and marketable securities balances	$	404,935		$	360,385
Annualized rate of return		0.6	%		0.7	%

Average cash and marketable securities balances for 2013 increased compared to 2012 as a result of increased cash provided by operations, partially offset by the acquisition of LaserBand and Hart as well as stock repurchases.

As of December 31, 2013, Zebra had $415,795,000 in cash, restricted cash, investments and marketable securities, compared with $394,075,000 at December 31, 2012. Factors affecting cash and investment balances during 2013 include the following (changes below include the impact of foreign currency):

• Accounts receivable increased $6,488,000 due to the increased sales and the timing of receipts.

• Accounts payable increased $7,544,000 due to the timing of payments at period end.

• Purchases of property and equipment totaled $20,211,000.

• Acquisition of businesses totaled $95,328,000.

• Purchases of treasury stock totaled $63,102,000.

Management believes that existing capital resources and funds generated from operations are sufficient to meet anticipated capital requirements.

Zebra earns a significant amount of our operating income outside the U.S., which is deemed to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. Zebra does not currently foresee a need to repatriate funds, however, should Zebra require more capital in the U.S. than is generated by our operations locally, Zebra could elect to repatriate funds held in foreign jurisdictions or raise capital in the U.S. through debt or equity issuances. These alternatives could result in higher effective tax rates or increased interest expense. Included in Zebra’s cash, restricted cash, investments and marketable securities are amounts held by foreign subsidiaries. Zebra had $251,658,000 as of December 31, 2013, and $173,483,000 as of December 31, 2012 of foreign cash and investments, which are primarily invested in U.S. dollar-denominated holdings.

Contractual Obligations

Zebra’s contractual obligations as of December 31, 2013 were (in thousands):

	Payments due by period
	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
Operating lease obligations	$	83,375	$	15,619	$	19,210	$	13,741	$	34,805

Total	$	232,440	$	149,206	$	29,861	$	13,741	$	39,632

Purchase obligations are for purchases made in the normal course of business to meet operational requirements, primarily raw materials and finished goods.

On October 10, 2012, Zebra entered into a revolving credit agreement for a five-year $250 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by J. P. Morgan Securities LLC as Administrative Agent. The funds under this credit facility are available for general corporate purposes of Zebra and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and other purposes permitted by the agreement. As of December 31, 2013, we had established letters of credit totaling $1,800,000, which reduce the funds available for borrowing under the agreement. No amounts were outstanding under the credit agreement as of December 31, 2013.

Management believes that existing capital resources and funds generated from operations are sufficient to finance anticipated capital requirements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued update 2013-02, ASC 220,Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.This updated guidance sets requirements for presentation for significant items reclassified to net income in their entirety during the period and for items not reclassified to net income in their entirety during period. This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this standard includes additional disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Zebra is exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates because of our large investment portfolio. As stated in our written investment policy’s objective is to achieve stable and predictable targeted rates of return, and to provide the liquidity necessary for the operation of the business.

Zebra mitigates interest rate risk with an investment policy that requires the use of outside professional investment managers, specified investment liquidity levels, and broad diversification across investments, and which limits the types of investments that may be made. Moreover, the policy requires due diligence of each investment manager both before employment and on an ongoing basis.

The following table sets forth the full-year impact of a one-percentage point movement in interest rates on the value of Zebra’s investment portfolio (in thousands, except per share data).

	As of December 31,
Interest rate sensitive instruments	2013		2012
+1 percentage point movement
Effect on Pretax Income	$	(3,502)	$	(3,657)
Effect on Diluted EPS (after tax)	$	(0.06)	$	(0.05)
-1 percentage point movement
Effect on Pretax Income	$	3,502	$	3,657
Effect on Diluted EPS (after tax)	$	0.06	$	0.05

Because these securities are classified as available-for-sale under ASC 320 (formerly SFAS No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities), the impact of a one-percentage point movement in interest rates occurs over an extended period of time as investments are sold and the funds are subsequently reinvested.

Foreign Exchange Risk

We conduct business in over 100 countries throughout the world and, therefore, at times are exposed to risk based on movements in foreign exchange rates. On occasion, we invoice customers in their local currency and have a resulting foreign currency denominated revenue transaction and accounts receivable. We also purchase certain raw materials and other items in foreign currencies. We manage these risks using derivative financial instruments. See Note 11 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this form 10-K for further discussions of hedging activities.

The following table sets forth the impact of a ten percent movement in the dollar/pound and dollar/euro rates measured as if Zebra didnot engage in the selective hedging practices described above. It is based on the dollar/euro and dollar/pound exchange rates and euro and pound denominated assets and liabilities (in thousands, except per share data).

	As of December 31,
Foreign exchange	2013		2012
Dollar/pound
Effect on Pretax Income	$	313	$	824
Effect on Diluted EPS (after tax)	$	0.00	$	0.01
Dollar/euro
Effect on Pretax Income	$	5,562	$	5,193
Effect on Diluted EPS (after tax)	$	0.09	$	0.07

Equity Price Risk

Zebra’s investment manager uses an investment strategy that is principally designed to preserve capital. Zebra utilizes a Value-at-Risk (VaR) model to determine the maximum potential one-day loss in the fair value of its interest rate, foreign exchange and equity price sensitive instruments.

From time to time, Zebra has taken direct equity positions in companies. These investments relate to potential acquisitions and other strategic business opportunities. To the extent that it has a direct investment in the equity securities of another company, Zebra is exposed to the risks associated with such investments.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K. The evaluation was conducted under the supervision of our Disclosure Committee, and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that (i) the information required to be disclosed by us in this Form 10-K was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or furnish under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework as released in 1992 (original framework). Based on this assessment and those criteria, our management believes that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting is effective. Management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 excludes the internal control over financial reporting related to Hart Systems (acquired on December 18, 2013). Hart is included in the 2013 consolidated financial statements and constituted 9.1% and 10.0% of total net assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2013 and 0.03% and 0.11% of revenues and net income, respectively, for the year then ended. Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an attestation report on Zebra’s internal control over financial reporting. Ernst & Young LLP’s report is included on page 43 of this report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

As of January 31, 2011, we completed the implementation of the new systems for our EMEA region. This implementation included customer order entry and invoicing, inventory procurement and management, certain accounts payable activity, and other related operational systems. As part of the implementation, we changed many of the related internal controls, primarily by replacing manual controls with system controls and streamlining Zebra’s internal operations. These new controls were subject to testing throughout 2011, 2012 and 2013.

As of February 27, 2012, we completed the implementation of the new systems for our North America region. This implementation included customer order entry and invoicing, inventory procurement and management, certain accounts payable activity, and other related operational systems. As part of the implementation, we changed many of the related internal controls substantially by reducing the number of manual controls with system controls and streamlining Zebra’s internal operations. These new controls were subject to testing throughout 2012 and 2013.

36

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

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

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

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Zebra Technologies Corporation:

We have audited Zebra Technologies Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework) (the COSO criteria). Zebra Technologies Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

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

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

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

As indicated in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Topspin Hart Systems, which is included in the 2013 consolidated financial statements of Zebra Technologies Corporation and constituted 9.1% and 10.0% of total and net assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2013 and0.03% and 0.11%of revenues and net income, respectively, for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Zebra Technologies Corporation also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Topspin Hart Systems.

In our opinion, Zebra Technologies Corporationmaintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Zebra Technologies Corporation as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive incomes, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, of Zebra Technologies Corporation and our report dated February 19, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Zebra Technologies Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zebra Technologies Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in Index at Item 15. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Zebra Technologies Corporation at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Zebra Technologies Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework) and our report dated February 20, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 Description of Business

Zebra Technologies Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Zebra) design, manufacture, sell and support a broad range of direct thermal and thermal transfer label printers, radio frequency identification printer/encoders, dye sublimation card printers, real-time locating solutions, related accessories and support software. These products are used principally in automatic identification (auto ID), data collection and personal identification applications and are distributed world-wide through a network of resellers, distributors and end users representing a wide cross-section of industrial, service and government organizations.

In 2008 and 2007, we acquired WhereNet Corp., proveo AG, Navis Holdings, LLC (Navis) and Multispectral Solutions Inc., which we referred to as Zebra Enterprise Solutions Group (ZES). On January 31, 2011, we announced a definitive agreement to sell the Navis operations and certain other assets of ZES. Upon completion of the transaction we consolidated the remaining operations of ZES and no longer report ZES as a separate segment since it is not greater than 10% of Zebra’s consolidated totals.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation.These consolidated financial statements were prepared on a consolidated basis to include the accounts of Zebra and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts, transactions and unrealized profit were eliminated in consolidation.

Fiscal Calendar.Zebra operates on a 4 week/4 week/5 week fiscal quarter, and each fiscal quarter ends on a Saturday. The fiscal year always begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. This fiscal calendar results in some fiscal quarters being either greater than or less than 13 weeks, depending on the days of the week those dates fall. During the 2013 fiscal year, our quarter end dates were as follows:

• March 30,

• June 29,

• September 28, and

• December 31.

Use of Estimates.These consolidated financial statements were prepared using estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

Investments and Marketable Securities.Investments and marketable securities at December 31, 2013, consisted of U.S. government and agency securities, obligations of government-sponsored enterprises, state and municipal bonds, corporate bonds, and other security interests. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are those debt securities that Zebra has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. All securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of discounts or premiums. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized, unless we determine them to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Zebra’s investments and marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale securities except for securities held in Zebra’s deferred compensation plan which are considered trading securities. Investments in marketable debt securities are classified based on intent and ability to sell investment securities. Zebra’s available-for-sale securities are used to fund further acquisitions and other operating needs and therefore can be sold prior to maturity. Investments in marketable debt securities for which Zebra intends to sell within the next year are classified as current and those that we intend to hold in excess of one-year are classified as non-current.

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

F-8

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, and cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Manufactured inventories consist of the following costs: component, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Purchased inventories consist of purchased costs and purchasing overhead.

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

Income Taxes.Zebra’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles.Goodwill represents the unamortized excess of the cost of acquiring a business over the fair values of the net assets received at the date of acquisition.

We test the impairment of goodwill each year as of the end of May or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We completed our annual qualitative assessment, in accordance with ASU 2011-08Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), during June 2013 and determined that our goodwill was not impaired as of the end of May 2013.

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

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

• Adverse action or assessment by a regulator,

• Unanticipated competition,

• Loss of key personnel,

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

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

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

In accordance with ASU 2011-08, Zebra’s qualitative analysis determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of our goodwill is less than the carrying amount and therefore, performing the two-step impairment test was not necessary. If Zebra concluded otherwise, we would perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value and comparing the fair value to the carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeded the fair value, we would perform the second step of goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill.

There have not been any significant changes to our impairment testing methodology other than updating the assumptions to reflect the current market environment. Zebra will monitor future results and will perform a test if indicators trigger an impairment review.

Other intangible assets capitalized consist primarily of current technology, customer relationships, patents and patent rights. These assets are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average life of 6.5 years, which approximates the estimated useful lives. Weighted average lives remaining by intangible asset class are as follows: Current technology 3.7 years; Patent and patent rights 3.6 years; Customer relationships 9.8 years.

Revenue Recognition. Revenue includes sales of hardware, supplies, software and services (including repair services, extended service contracts, and professional services). Product revenue is recognized once four criteria are met: (1) we have persuasive evidence that an arrangement exits; (2) delivery has occurred and title has passed to the customer, which happens at the point of shipment provided that no significant obligations remain; (3) the price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. We provide for an estimate of product returns based on historical experience. Revenue related to extended warranty and service contracts is recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the life of the contract. Professional services revenue is recorded when performed. Zebra enters into sales transactions that include more than one product type. This bundle of products might include printers, current or future supplies, and services. When this type of transaction occurs, we allocate the purchase price to each product type based on the fair value of the individual products determined by vendor specific objective evidence. The revenue for each individual product is then recognized when the earning process for that product is complete. We enter into post-contract maintenance and support agreements. Revenues are recognized ratably over the service period and the cost of providing these services is expensed as incurred.

F-9

Zebra records payments to resellers of its product as reductions to revenue unless these payments meet the requirements for operating expense treatment under ASC 605. See the market development funds accounting policy for further details.

Revenue includes all customer billings for shipping and handling charges. The related costs of shipping and handling revenue are recorded as cost of goods sold.

Research and Development Costs.Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These costs include:

• Salaries, benefits, and other R&D personnel related costs,

• Consulting and other outside services used in the R&D process,

• Engineering supplies,

• Engineering related information systems costs, and

• Allocation of building and related costs.

Advertising.Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $7,688,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, $8,983,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $8,070,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Market Development Funds.Zebra makes market development funds available to its resellers to support demand generation activity by the resellers. These funds require the reseller to provide specific services or benefits to Zebra and substantiate the fair value of such services rendered. Zebra reimburses resellers for agreed activities up to the amounts approved by Zebra. These payments are treated as marketing costs consistent with the requirements of ASC 605. Any payments to resellers that do not meet these requirements are recorded as reductions to revenue.

Warranty.In general, Zebra provides warranty coverage of one year on printers against defects in material and workmanship. Thermal printheads are warranted for six months and batteries are warranted for one year. Battery-based products, such as location tags, are covered by a 90 day warranty. A provision for warranty expense is recorded at the time of sale and adjusted quarterly based on historical warranty experience. The following table is a summary of Zebra’s accrued warranty obligation (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
Warranty Reserve	2013		2012		2011
Balance at the beginning of the year	$	4,252	$	4,613	$	4,554
Warranty expense		7,440		6,828		5,856
Warranty payments		(7,567)		(7,189)		(5,797)
Balance at the end of the period	$	4,125	$	4,252	$	4,613

Fair Value of Financial Instruments.Zebra estimates the fair value of its financial instruments as follows:

Instrument	Method for determining fair value
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable	Cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments
Investments in marketable debt securities	Market quotes from independent pricing services
Investments in auction rate securities	Broker quotations, discounted cash flow analysis or other types of valuation adjustment methodologies
Foreign currency forward contracts	Estimated using market quoted rates for foreign currency at the balance sheet date
Foreign currency option contracts	Estimated using market quoted rates for foreign currency at the balance sheet date and application of such rates subject to the option terms

In accordance with ASC 815 we recognize derivative instruments and hedging activities as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. See Note 11 for additional information on our derivatives and hedging activities.

Equity-Based Compensation.At December 31, 2013, Zebra had a general equity-based compensation plan and a stock purchase plan under which shares of our common stock were available for future grants and sales, and which are described more fully in Note 16. We account for these plans in accordance with ASC 505 and ASC 718. Zebra recognizes compensation costs using the straight-line method over the vesting period upon grant of up to 5 years.

F-10

The compensation expense and the related income tax benefit for share-based payments were included in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings as follows (in thousands):

	For the years ended December 31,
Compensation costs and related income tax benefit:	2013		2012		2011
Cost of sales	$	871	$	1,061	$	1,029
Selling and marketing		2,100		1,792		1,463
Research and development		1,616		1,593		1,387
General and administration		8,522		10,281		9,228
Total compensation expense	$	13,109	$	14,727	$	13,107
Income tax benefit	$	4,531	$	5,132	$	4,522

ASC 505 and ASC 718 requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized (excess tax benefits) to be classified as cash flows from financing activities. Cash flows resulting from the tax benefits of tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized (excess tax benefits) are classified as financing cash flows in the statement of cash flows. The tax benefits classified as financing cash flows were $4,277,000 as of December 31, 2013, $1,578,000 as of December 31, 2012, and $1,392,000 as of December 31, 2011.

Deferred Compensation Plan.Zebra has a deferred compensation plan that permits directors, management and highly compensated employees to defer portions of their compensation. Zebra immediately pays deferred amounts into a Rabbi Trust, and plan participants select a method of investing these funds into hypothetical investments. Zebra tracks the performance of these hypothetical investments in order to determine the value of each participant’s deferral. Zebra accrues the deferred compensation liability in other long-term liabilities as the amount that is actually owed to the participants.

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

Acquisition Costs.Zebra expenses acquisition costs as incurred.

Concentration risks.Final assembly of our products is performed by Jabil Circuit, a third-party electronics manufacturer. We are now dependent on Jabil for the manufacture of such printers. A failure by Jabil to provide manufacturing services to Zebra as Zebra now requires, or any disruption in such manufacturing services, may adversely affect Zebra’s business results. Because we rely on a third-party provider such as Jabil to manufacture its products, Zebra may incur increased business continuity risks.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. Zebra accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350. The statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposition of the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. See Note 8 for further information related to impairment charges.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued update 2013-02, ASC 220,Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.This updated guidance sets requirements for presentation for significant items reclassified to net income in their entirety during the period and for items not reclassified to net income in their entirety during period. This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this standard includes additional disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent events. We have evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued.

Note 3 Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities are to be measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Zebra uses a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

Level 1:	Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. (i.e. U.S. Treasuries and money market funds)
Level 2:	Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
Level 3:	Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value. Included in our investment portfolio at December 31, 2013, is an auction rate security which is classified as available for sale and is reflected at fair value. Due to events in credit markets, however, the auction event for the instrument held by Zebra is failed. Therefore, the fair value of this security is estimated utilizing broker quotations, discounted cash flow analysis or other types of valuation adjustment methodologies at December 31, 2013. These analyses consider, among other items, the collateral underlying the security instruments, the creditworthiness of the counterparty, the timing of expected future cash flows, estimates of the next time the security is expected to have a successful auction, and Zebra’s intent and ability to hold such securities until credit markets improve. The security was also compared, when possible, to other securities with similar characteristics.

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

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

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

b. Fair value of regular forward contracts associated with forecasted sales hedges are calculated using the period-end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points.

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

The carrying value for Zebra’s financial instruments classified as current assets (other than short-term investments) and current liabilities approximate fair value due to short term maturities.

Note 4 Investments and Marketable Securities

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

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

Changes in market value oftrading securities would be recorded in investment income as they occur, and the related cash flow statement includes changes in the balances of trading securities as operating cash flows.

The following table shows the number, aggregate market value and unrealized losses (in thousands) of investments with market values that were less than amortized cost as of December 31, 2013. These lower market values are primarily caused by fluctuations in interest rates and credit spreads. Market values are expected to recover to the amortized cost prior to maturity.

Note 10 Costs Associated with Exit and Restructuring

In December 2012, Zebra began a plan to restructure its Location Solutions business management structure and announced a project to further optimize our manufacturing operations costs, which includes the consolidation and relocation of support functions. The costs below incurred for the year ended December 31, 2012 represent the costs related to the restructuring of Location Solutions business management structure. The costs expected to be incurred relate to the restructuring of Zebra’s manufacturing operations and relocation of this portion of Zebra’s business from the U.S. to China and consolidating some activities domestically.

Costs incurred through December 31, 2013 and costs expected to be incurred relate to the following: restructuring of Zebra’s manufacturing operations; relocation of a significant portion of Zebra’s supply chain operations from the U.S. to China; consolidating activities domestically; restructuring of our sales operations; restructuring certain corporate functions; and amending the Location Solutions “2012 restructuring plan” by adding additional restructuring charges to be incurred.

As of December 31, 2013, we have incurred the following exit and restructuring costs related to the Location Solutions business management structure and manufacturing operations relocation and restructuring (in thousands):

Type of Cost	Cost incurred through December 31, 2012		Costs incurred for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013		Total costs incurred as of December 31, 2013		Additional costs expected to be incurred		Total costs     expected to     be incurred

Total	$	960	$	5,890	$	6,850	$	61	$	6,911

During 2011, costs related to the consolidation and relocation of the administrative and accounting functions were due to the divestiture of our Navis marine terminal solutions business and the related WhereNet marine terminal solutions product line. There were no costs in 2012 related to this restructuring as this project was completed in 2011. As of December 31, 2012, we have incurred the following exit and restructuring costs related to the Location Solutions business management structure and manufacturing operations relocation and restructuring (in thousands):

Note 11 Derivative Instruments

Portions of our operations are subject to fluctuations in currency values. We manage these risks using derivative financial instruments. We conduct business on a multinational basis in a wide variety of foreign currencies. Our exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from international financing activities between subsidiaries, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and transactions arising from international trade. Our objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency denominated cash flows. We attempt to hedge transaction exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through foreign exchange forward and option contracts with third parties.

Credit and market risk

Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose us to counter party credit risk for nonperformance and to market risk related to interest and currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific minimum credit standards, diversification of counterparties, and procedures to monitor concentrations of credit risk. Our counterparties in derivative transactions are commercial banks with significant experience using derivative instruments. We monitor the impact of market risk on the fair value and cash flows of our derivative and other financial instruments considering reasonably possible changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates and restrict the use of derivative financial instruments to hedging activities. We continually monitor the creditworthiness of our customers to which we grant credit terms in the normal course of business. The terms and conditions of our credit sales are designed to mitigate or eliminate concentrations of credit risk with any single customer.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

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

Hedging of Net Assets

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

Summary financial information related to these activities included in our consolidated statement of earnings as other income (expense) is as follows (in thousands):

F-19

Hedging of Anticipated Sales

We can manage the exchange rate risk of anticipated euro-denominated sales using purchased options, forward contracts, and participating forwards. We designate these contracts as cash flow hedges which mature within twelve months after the execution of the contracts. Gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in other comprehensive income until the contracts are settled and the hedged sales are realized. The deferred gains or losses will then be reported as an increase or decrease to sales.

Summary financial information related to the cash flow hedges is as follows (in thousands):

The operating lease information includes a variety of properties around the world. These properties are used as manufacturing facilities, distribution centers and sales offices. Lease terms range from one year to 9 years with breaking periods specified in the lease agreements.

Revolving Credit Agreement. On October 10, 2012, Zebra entered into a revolving credit agreement for a five-year $250,000,000 revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by J. P. Morgan Securities LLC as Administrative Agent. The funds under this credit facility are available for general corporate purposes of Zebra and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and other purposes permitted by the agreement.

This credit agreement is guaranteed by certain of Zebra’s domestic subsidiaries. Loans under the agreement bear interest at a rate equal to a spread over the base rate, which base rate is the greater of: the prime rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one-half of one percent (0.50%), or an adjusted LIBOR rate, plus one percent (1%). The spread is dependent on Zebra’s ratio of Total Debt to EBITDA, and ranges from 0.00% to 0.75%. Zebra did not borrow any monies under the New Credit Agreement at the time of closing.

The credit agreement includes customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. It also contains financial covenants tied to Zebra’s leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio. As of December 31, 2013, we had established letters of credit amounting to $1,800,000, which reduces funds available for borrowing under the agreement. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no amounts were outstanding under the company’s credit agreement.

Legal Proceedings. We are subject to a variety of investigations, claims, suits and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to, intellectual property, employment, tort and breach of contract matters. We currently believe that the outcomes of such proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our business, cash flows, financial position, or results of operations. Any legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and management’s view of these matters and their potential effects may change in the future.

Note 13 Savings and Profit Sharing Plans

Zebra has a Retirement Savings and Investment Plan (401(k) Plan), which is intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Qualified employees may participate in Zebra’s 401(k) Plan by contributing up to 15% of their gross earnings to the plan subject to certain Internal Revenue Service restrictions. Zebra matches 100% of the first 2% of gross eligible earnings, and also matches the next 4% of gross eligible earnings at the rate of 50%. Zebra may contribute additional amounts to its 401(k) Plan at the discretion of the Board of Directors, subject to certain legal limits.

Company contributions to these plans, which were charged to operations, approximated the following (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,

Note 16 Equity-Based Compensation

As of December 31, 2013, Zebra had a general equity-based compensation plan and a stock purchase plan under which shares of our common stock were available for future grants and sales, and which are described below.

On May 19, 2011, Zebra’s stockholders approved the 2011 Zebra Technologies Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan (the 2011 Plan), which included authorization for issuance of awards of 5,500,000 shares under the 2011 Plan. The 2011 Plan became effective immediately and superseded the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2006 Plan), the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the 1997 Plan) and the 2002 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the 2002 Director Plan), except that the prior plans will remain in effect with respect to awards granted under the prior plans until such awards have been exercised, forfeited, cancelled, expired or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of such grants. The types of awards available under the 2011 Plan are incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, performance shares and units and performance-based cash bonuses. Employees, directors and consultants of Zebra and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the 2011 Plan. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the plan. As of December 31, 2013, 4,212,339 shares were available for grant under the plan, and options for 691,874 shares were outstanding under the 2011 Plan.

The options and SARs granted under the 2011 Plan have an exercise or grant price equal to the closing market price of Zebra’s stock on the date of grant. Options and SAR’s generally vest over a four or five-year period. These awards expire on the earlier of (a) ten years following the grant date, (b) immediately if the employee is terminated for cause, (c) ninety days after termination of employment if the employee is terminated involuntarily other than for cause, (d) thirty days after termination of employment if the employee voluntarily terminates his or her employment, or (e) one year after termination of employment if the employee’s employment terminates due to death, disability, or retirement.

F-23

Zebra’s time-vested restricted stock grants consist of restricted stock awards (RSA’s) and performance share awards (PSA’s). The following table shows the number of shares of time-vested restricted stock granted in 2013 and the vesting schedules of the restricted stock awards that were granted under the Plan to certain executive officers and other members of management.

Vesting period	RSA’s		PSA’s		Total
At grant		18,095		112,028		130,123
After three years of service		149,420		75,766		225,186
Total		167,515		187,794		355,309

These RSA’s will vest at each vesting date if the employee remains employed by Zebra throughout the applicable time period, but will vest in whole or in part (as set forth in each Restricted Stock Agreement) before the end of the each vesting period in the event of death, disability, resignation for good reason, a change in control (as defined in the 2011 Plan), or termination by Zebra other than for Cause, as defined in the Restricted Stock Agreement entered into by Zebra with each employee who was granted restricted stock. The restricted stock is forfeited in certain situations specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement, including, if the employee’s employment is terminated by Zebra for Cause or if the employee resigns for other than good reason. Zebra’s restricted stock awards are expensed over the vesting period of the related award, which is typically three to five years. However, some recent awards vested upon grant. Compensation cost is calculated as the market date fair value on grant date multiplied by the number of shares granted.

The 2006 Plan was superseded by the 2011 Plan. As of December 31, 2013, options and SARs for 1,111,435 shares were outstanding and exercisable under the 2006 Plan. These options and SARs expire on the earlier of (a) ten years following the grant date, or (b) immediately if the employee is terminated for cause, (c) ninety days after termination of employment if the employee is terminated involuntarily other than for cause, (d) thirty days after termination of employment if the employee voluntarily terminates his or her employment, or (e) one year after termination of employment if the employee’s employment terminates due to death, disability, or retirement.

The 1997 Plan was superseded by the 2006 Plan. As of December 31, 2013, options for 471,990 shares were outstanding and exercisable under the 1997 Plan. These options terms are the same as noted in the paragraph above in the 2006 Plan.

The 2002 Director Plan was superseded by the 2006 Plan. As of December 31, 2013, options for 80,000 shares were outstanding and exercisable under the 2002 Director Plan. Unless otherwise provided in an option agreement, options granted under the 2002 Director Plan become exercisable in five equal increments beginning on the date of the grant and continuing on each of the four anniversaries thereafter. All such options expire on the earlier of (a) ten years following the grant date, (b) the first anniversary of the termination date of the non-employee director’s directorship for any reason other than the termination of the non-employee director’s directorship by Zebra’s stockholders for cause, or resignation for cause, in each case as defined in the option agreement.

In connection with Zebra’s acquisition of WhereNet, Zebra assumed existing unvested stock options exercisable for shares of WhereNet’s common stock and converted them into options exercisable for Zebra common stock. These converted options have exercise prices and vesting dates based on their previous terms and all of these options that are outstanding are fully vested. As of December 31, 2013, outstanding WhereNet options were exercisable into 3,262 shares of Zebra Class A Common Stock.

On May 19, 2011 Zebra’s stockholders adopted the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (which replaced the 2001 Stock Purchase plan) under which employees who work a minimum of 20 hours per week may elect to withhold up to 10% of their cash compensation through regular payroll deductions to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock from Zebra over a period not to exceed 12 months at a purchase price per share which is equal to the lesser of: (1) 95% of the fair market value of the shares as of the date of the grant, or (2) 95% of the fair market value of the shares as of the date of purchase. Stock purchase plan expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $224,000. Stock purchase plan expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $242,000 and for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $321,000.

F-24

For purposes of calculating the compensation cost, the fair value is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial model. Volatility is based on an average of the implied volatility in the open market and the annualized volatility of Zebra’s stock prices over our entire stock history. Stock option grants in the table below include both stock options, all of which were non-qualified, and stock appreciation rights (SAR) that will be settled in Zebra stock. The following table shows the weighted-average assumptions used for grants of SARs as well as the fair value of the grants based on those assumptions:

	2013	2012	2011
Expected dividend yield	0%	0%	0%
Forfeiture rate	10.31%	10.21%	11.50%
Volatility	32.00%	35.90%	35.33%
Risk free interest rate	.82%	.94%	2.01%
- Range of interest rates	0.02% - 1.78%	0.07% - 1.95%	0.01% - 3.18%
Expected weighted-average life	5.42 years	5.48 years	5.42 years
Fair value of SARs granted	$4,528,000	$5,533,000	$5,495,000
Weighted-average grant date fair value of options and SARs granted     (per underlying share)	$13.86	$12.84	$14.29

The forfeiture rate is based on the historical annualized forfeiture rate, which is consistent with prior year rates. This rate includes only pre-vesting forfeitures. Volatility is based on an average of the implied volatility in the open market and the annualized volatility of Zebra’s stock prices over our entire stock history. The risk free interest rate used is the implied yield currently available from the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve over the contractual term of the options. The expected weighted-average life is based on historical exercise behavior, which combines the average life of the options that have already been exercised or cancelled with the exercise life of all unexercised options. The exercise life of unexercised options assumes that the option will be exercised at the midpoint of the vesting date and the full contractual term. These assumptions are consistent with the assumptions used in prior years.

Stock option activity for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, was as follows:

The terms of the SARs are established under the applicable Plan and the applicable SAR agreement. Once vested, a SAR entitles the holder to receive a payment equal to the difference between the per-share grant price of the SAR and the fair market value of a share of Zebra stock on the date the SAR is exercised, multiplied by the number of shares covered by the SAR. Exercised SARs will be settled in whole shares of Zebra stock, and any fraction of a share will be settled in cash. Vesting of SARs granted in 2013 is as follows: 326,811 SARs vest annually in four equal amounts on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. Vesting of SARs granted in 2012 is as follows: 20,155 SARs vested upon grant and 410,885 SARs vest annually in four equal amounts on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. All SARs expire 10 years after the grant date.

Note 17 Deferred Compensation Plan

Zebra offers a deferred compensation plan that permits directors and executive management employees to defer portions of their compensation and to select a method of investing these funds. The salaries that have been deferred since the plan’s inception have been accrued and the only expense, other than salaries, related to this plan is the gain or loss from the changes to the deferred compensation liability, which is charged to compensation expense. To fund this plan, Zebra purchases mutual funds in the form of stock or bond funds.

The following table shows the income, asset and liability amounts related to this plan (in thousands):

	As of December 31,
	2013		2012
Mutual funds included in other assets	$	4,827	$	3,553
Deferred compensation liability included in other long-term liabilities	$	4,827	$	3,553

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

Deferred income taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, aggregating approximately $354,164,000 at December 31, 2013 and $256,000,000 at December 31, 2012.

The primary reasons for the difference is due to a combination of higher profits in lower rate international jurisdictions, decreasing foreign statutory rates, the Singapore tax holiday and the restructuring of the foreign operations. In conjunction with the opening of Zebra’s Singapore distribution center and the establishment of Singapore as a regional headquarter location in 2009, Zebra negotiated a 10% income tax rate with the Singapore Economic Development Board. The negotiated rate is a reduction from the then current statutory rate of 17%. The 10% rate expires at the end of 2014 unless Zebra meets agreed commitments for employees and business expenditures in Singapore. If these requirements are met, the 10% rate extends through 2018. This agreement reduced Zebra’s consolidated income taxes by $1,860,000 in 2013, $2,002,000 in 2012, and $2,030,000 in 2011.

In order to streamline the management, financing and capital structure of its foreign affiliates, in 2012, Zebra established a foreign holding company and restructured the ownership structure of its foreign affiliates. This new holding company structure allows Zebra to consolidate the ownership of its significant foreign affiliates under a single holding company. In addition, the structure introduced leverage which gives the Zebra the ability to facilitate cash pooling and improve the capital structure of its non-US operations. The new capital structure and global financing favorably impacts the Zebra’s effective tax rate, and facilitates the tax efficient movement of Zebra’s foreign cash to finance the ongoing operating and investment needs of the foreign subsidiaries. The restructuring was completed in the second quarter of 2012 and was in place for the full year in 2013.

Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. Based on management’s assessment, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable earnings.

Tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):

	As of December 31,
	2013			2012

On January 1, 2007, Zebra adopted ASC 740 (formerly FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109). According to ASC 740, Zebra identified, evaluated, and measured the amount of income tax benefits to be recognized for all of its income tax positions. During 2008, Zebra recognized an increase of approximately $4,000,000 in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to an acquisition. During 2012 Zebra recognized an increase of $680,000 in one of its UK subsidiaries. This amount was reduced as a result of filing 2012 income tax returns in 2013.

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

Balance at January 1, 2013	$	4,680
Additions based on tax positions related to 2013		0
Reductions based on 2012 tax returns as filed in 2013		(680)
Balance at December 31, 2013	$	4,000

Included in deferred tax assets are amounts related to federal and state net operating losses that resulted from Zebra’s acquisition of WhereNet Corp. As of December 31, 2013, Zebra had approximately $8,252,000 of net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income which expire in 2022 through 2027. As of December 31, 2013, Zebra had approximately $26,980,000 of state net operating loss carryforwards which expire in 2013 through 2020. Zebra’s intention is to utilize these net operating loss carryforwards to offset future income tax expense. Under the United States Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amount of benefits from net operating loss carryforwards may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances, including significant changes in ownership interests. The company has reviewed the impact of ownership changes and believes that this will not have an impact on the realizability on the related Deferred Tax Asset recorded as of December 31, 2013.

Deferred tax asset valuation allowances included in the temporary differences above are as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
Valuation allowance	2013		2012		2011
Balance at the beginning of the year	$	267	$	267	$	267
Additions		0		0		0
Subtractions		0		0		0
Balance at the end of the period	$	267	$	267	$	267

Zebra’s deferred tax valuation allowance is the result of uncertainties regarding the future realization of recorded tax benefits on state income tax loss carry-forwards. The addition in 2010 is primarily related to California’s temporary suspension on the use of state net operating losses for tax years 2010 & 2011. Although the carryforward period for those temporarily suspended losses was increased, there is still some uncertainty as to the ability to use such losses even though carryforward periods were extended.

We are currently undergoing an audit of the 2011 and 2012 US federal income tax returns. The tax years 2009 through 2012 remain open to examination by multiple state taxing jurisdictions. Tax authorities in the United Kingdom have completed income tax audits for tax years through 2011.

Zebra’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and or penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2013, Zebra did not accrue any interest or penalties into income tax expense.

Note 19 Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Stockholders’ equity contains certain items classified as other comprehensive income (loss), including:

• Foreign currency translation adjustments related to our non-U.S. subsidiary companies that have designated a functional currency other than the dollar. We are required to translate the subsidiary functional currency financial statements to dollars using a combination of historical, month-end, and average foreign exchange rates. This combination of rates creates the foreign currency translation adjustments component of other comprehensive income (loss).

• Unrealized holding gains (losses) on foreign currency hedging activities relate to derivative instruments used to hedge the currency exchange rates for forecasted euro sales. These hedges are designated as cash flow hedges, and we have deferred income statement recognition of gains and losses until the hedged transaction occurs. See Note 11 for more details.

• Unrealized gains (losses) on investments classified as available-for-saleare deferred from income statement recognition. See Note 4 for more details.

Note 23 Discontinued Operations

Sale of Navis, LLC—On March 18, 2011, we sold our Navis marine terminal solutions business and the related WhereNet marine terminal solutions product line of our Zebra Enterprise Solutions (“ZES”) business segment for approximately $188,588,000 in cash to Cargotec Corporation. As of December 31, 2011, Zebra had a short term receivable from the buyer in the amount of $27,580,000 which represented funds held in escrow, of which, we received $13,790,000 in the first quarter of 2012 and the remaining $13,790,000 in the third quarter of 2012.

Sale of proveo AG—On August 3, 2011, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with F Two NV (a Belgium company) to sell all of our interest in Zebra Enterprise Solutions GmbH (formerly proveo AG) business. The loss recorded upon divestiture was $1,248,000. Zebra realized tax benefits in the amount of $13,308,000 with the divestiture of proveo AG. These tax benefits are primarily related to the difference in book basis versus tax basis. As part of the sale, Zebra agreed with the buyer to provide a revolving loan of up to €1,000,000 which was due on August 3, 2012 and bore interest at 6.5%. Zebra considered this loan unlikely to be repaid in full and established a reserve for the maximum loss. During 2012, the maximum value on Zebra’s loan to the purchaser was reduced to €526,058 and Zebra recorded a gain of $930,000 as a result of reducing the loan loss reserve to the new maximum loss. During 2013, Zebra received some additional payments on the loan and the remaining balance outstanding was forgiven. Zebra recorded a gain of $201,000 as a result of the payments received and loan cancellation.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2011, Zebra reported the results of these businesses as discontinued operations. The amounts presented below for discontinued operations include Navis and proveo assets and liabilities, and the operating results of these businesses for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. With the Navis sale, Zebra consolidated the remaining ZES Location Solutions operations.
