“First quarter results reflect continued sharp execution of an effective business strategy in an improving business environment,” stated Anders Gustafsson, Zebra’s chief executive officer. “A steady stream of new innovative products and deeper engagements with customers in targeted industries are enabling Zebra to help more customers gain greater visibility into their extended value chains to improve critical business processes.”

Mr. Gustafsson added, “Our customers and channel partners are responding enthusiastically to our recently announced agreement to acquire the Enterprise business of Motorola Solutions. The acquisition will enable Zebra to play a greater strategic role in the important trends of mobility and enterprise asset intelligence and position Zebra for further success and value creation for our shareholders.”

As of March 29, 2014, Zebra had $468,155,000 in cash and investments, and no long-term debt. Net inventories were $119,373,000, and net accounts receivable were $181,618,000.

Discussion and Analysis – First Quarter

• Net sales growth of 21.7% from the comparable quarter a year ago included strong growth in all of the company’s geographic regions. North American sales, which increased 29.1%, include the effect of revenues from Hart Systems, which was acquired in December 2013. The company experienced broad strength across multiple product lines. The 123.2% increase in service and software revenue reflects the impact of the revenues from the Hart Systems acquisition in addition to organic growth. Movements in foreign exchange, net of hedges, increased sales by $3,168,000.

• Gross profit margin of 51.3% versus 47.7%, reflects the impact of higher sales, a reduction in freight costs, and the positive contribution of the operations of Hart Systems. Net of hedges, movements in foreign currency increased gross profit by $2,254,000.

• Operating expense growth of 11.4% primarily resulted from higher employee-related expenses and increased expenditures for outside professional services. Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2014 also include $4,927,000 in acquisition costs, compared with $482,000 for the first quarter of 2013. The increase in acquisition costs is principally associated with the company’s agreement to acquire the Enterprise business of Motorola Solutions, Inc. which was announced in April 2014.

• The effective income tax rate of 22.3% for the first quarter of 2014 includes the impact of $3,700,000 of acquisition costs that are not deductible for income tax purposes.

Second Quarter Outlook

Zebra announced its financial forecast for the second quarter of 2014. Net sales are expected within a range of $280,000,000 to $290,000,000, which primarily reflects the company’s typical seasonality in sales. Diluted earnings per share are expected within a range of $0.74 to $0.84.

Forward-looking Statement

Actual results may differ from those expressed or implied in the company’s forward-looking statements. These statements represent estimates only as of the date they were made. Zebra undertakes no obligation, other than as may be required by law, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason after the date of this release.

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions and are subject to the risks and uncertainties inherent in Zebra’s industry, market conditions, general domestic and international economic conditions, and other factors.

Zebra, its suppliers and its customers. In addition, a disruption in our ability to obtain products from vendors as a result of supply chain constraints, natural disasters or other circumstances could restrict sales and negatively affect customer relationships. Profits and profitability will be affected by Zebra’s ability to control manufacturing and operating costs. Because of a large investment portfolio, interest rates and financial market conditions will also have an impact on results. Foreign exchange rates will have an effect on financial results because of the large percentage of our international sales. The outcome of litigation in which Zebra may be involved is another factor. The success of integrating acquisitions, including Hart Systems, could also affect profitability, reported results and the company’s competitive position in it industry. These and other factors could have an adverse effect on Zebra’s sales, gross profit margins and results of operations and increase the volatility of our financial results. When used in this release and documents referenced, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” and “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to the company or its management, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying these statements.
