0
Sponsored by Businesswire

Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), an innovator at the edge of the enterprise with solutions and partners that enable businesses to gain a performance edge, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 26, 2020.

“In the third quarter our teams executed well in an environment that has disproportionately impacted our smaller customers and certain end-markets. We are pleased to deliver sales, EBITDA margin, and earnings per share results that exceeded our outlook, as many enterprise customers prioritized their spending on our solutions. I am proud of our employees’ resiliency and focus on serving our customers’ critical needs in these challenging times,” said Anders Gustafsson, Chief Executive Officer of Zebra Technologies. “Demand from our large strategic customers continues to be at record levels driven by accelerated trends to digitize and automate workflows as a result of the pandemic, while demand through the channel is recovering from the peak global macro pressure that we saw in the second quarter. Our strong order backlog, sales momentum, and encouraging pipeline of business gives us confidence in a strong finish to the year.”

Net sales were $1,132 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $1,130 million in the third quarter of 2019. Net sales in the Enterprise Visibility & Mobility (“EVM”) segment were $788 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared with $757 million in the third quarter of 2019. Asset Intelligence & Tracking (“AIT”) segment net sales were $346 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $373 million in the prior year period. Consolidated organic net sales for the third quarter increased 0.3%. Third-quarter year-over-year organic net sales increased by 4.0% in the EVM segment and decreased by 7.1% in the AIT segment.

Third-quarter 2020 gross profit was $493 million compared to $535 million in the comparable prior year period. Gross margin decreased to 43.6% for the third quarter of 2020, compared to 47.3% in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to unfavorable business mix, especially deal size, and $8 million of premium freight expense; all of which was partially offset by productivity gains within our service and software offerings. Adjusted gross margin was 43.8% in the third quarter of 2020, compared to 47.7% in the prior year period.

Operating expenses decreased in the third quarter of 2020 to $343 million from $350 million in the prior year period primarily due to lower discretionary spending and lower employee compensation costs resulting from temporary salary reductions; partially offset by expenses associated with the company’s product sourcing diversification initiative, as well as the inclusion of costs associated with business acquisitions. Adjusted operating expenses decreased in the third quarter of 2020 to $283 million from $300 million in the prior year period.

Net income for the third quarter of 2020 was $116 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, compared to net income of $136 million, or $2.50 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2019. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2020 decreased to $175 million, or $3.27 per diluted share, compared to $187 million, or $3.43 per diluted share, for the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2020 decreased to $230 million, or 20.3% of adjusted net sales, compared to $257 million, or 22.7% of adjusted net sales, for the third quarter of 2019 due to lower gross margin.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of September 26, 2020, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $39 million and total debt of $1,575 million.

For the first nine months of 2020, the company generated $531 million of operating cash flow and incurred capital expenditures of $49 million, resulting in free cash flow of $482 million.

For the first nine months of 2020, the company made payments of long-term debt of $103 million and received proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt of $389 million, resulting in $286 million of net borrowings, which funded a portion of the Reflexis Systems, Inc. acquisition. The company made cash interest payments of $28 million in the first nine months compared to $49 million in the prior year period. Additionally, the company made $200 million of share repurchases in the first nine months under its existing share repurchase authorization, all during the first quarter.

Outlook

Fourth Quarter 2020

The company expects fourth-quarter 2020 adjusted net sales to increase 3% to 7% from the fourth quarter of 2019 as many of our customers continue to navigate through a challenging macro environment. This expectation includes an approximately 150 basis point additive impact from the Reflexis acquisition and a neutral impact from foreign currency translation.

Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter of 2020 is expected to be in the range of 21% to 22%, which includes approximately $9 million of premium freight expense. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $3.70 to $3.90. This assumes an adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 16%.

Full-Year 2020

Based on our fourth-quarter outlook, the company continues to expect adjusted net sales and adjusted EBITDA margin to be lower than last year. Free cash flow is expected to be at least $650 million for the full year 2020, which is higher than full-year 2019.

The company has substantially completed its initiative to diversify the sourcing of its U.S. volumes out of China. In 2020, these actions are expected to result in up to $20 million of one-time pre-tax charges plus up to $10 million of capital expenditures.

The company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure as discussed under the “Forward-Looking Statements” caption below. This would include items that have not yet occurred, are out of the company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and that would impact diluted net earnings per share. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, the statements regarding the company’s outlook. 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. These factors include customer acceptance of Zebra’s hardware and software products and competitors’ product offerings, and the potential effects of technological changes. The continued uncertainty over future global economic conditions, the availability of credit and capital markets volatility may have adverse effects on 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, public health issues (including pandemics), 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 its debt, 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 could also affect profitability, reported results and the company’s competitive position in its 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,” “outlook,” 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. Descriptions of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could affect the company’s future operations and results can be found in Zebra’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the company’s most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains certain Non-GAAP financial measures, consisting of “adjusted net sales,” “adjusted gross profit,” “EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Non-GAAP net income,” “Non-GAAP earnings per share,” “free cash flow,” “organic net sales growth,” and “adjusted operating expenses.” Management presents these measures to focus on the on-going operations and believes it is useful to investors because they enable them to perform meaningful comparisons of past and present operating results. The company believes it is useful to present non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude certain significant items, as a means to understand the performance of its ongoing operations and how management views the business. Please see the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” tables and accompanying disclosures at the end of this press release for more detailed information regarding non-GAAP financial measures herein, including the items reflected in adjusted net earnings calculations. These measures, however, should not be construed as an alternative to any other measure of performance determined in accordance with GAAP.

The company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis (including the information under “Outlook” above) where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred, are out of the company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and that would impact diluted net earnings per share, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

As a global company, Zebra’s operating results reported in U.S. dollars are affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations because the underlying foreign currencies in which the company transacts change in value over time compared to the U.S. dollar; accordingly, the company presents certain organic growth financial information, which includes impacts of foreign currency translation, to provide a framework to assess how the company’s businesses performed excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign currency impact represents the difference in results that are attributable to fluctuations in the currency exchange rates used to convert the results for businesses where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. This impact is calculated by translating current period results at the currency exchange rates used in the comparable period in the prior year, rather than the exchange rates in effect during the current period. In addition, the company excludes the impact of its foreign currency hedging program in the prior year periods. The company believes these measures should be considered a supplement to and not in lieu of the company’s performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Foreign currency translation impact represents the difference in results that are attributable to fluctuations in the currency exchange rates used to convert the results for businesses where the functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar. This impact is calculated by translating the current period results at the currency exchange rates used in the comparable prior year period, inclusive of the Company’s foreign currency hedging program.

For purposes of computing Organic Net sales, amounts directly attributable to the Temptime acquisition (included in our consolidated results beginning February 21, 2019), Profitect acquisition (included in our consolidated results beginning May 31, 2019), Cortexica acquisition (included in our consolidated results beginning November 5, 2019), and Reflexis acquisition (included in our consolidated results beginning September 1, 2020) are excluded for twelve months following the respective acquisition dates.

(1)

Free cash flow is defined as Net cash provided by operating activities in a period minus purchases of property, plant and equipment (capital expenditures) made in that period. This measure does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures as the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments for future business acquisitions. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our entire statements of cash flows.
