Reported (GAAP) results
Net sales were $1,137 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $1,026 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Net sales in the Enterprise Visibility & Mobility ("EVM") segment were $770 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with $675 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Asset Intelligence & Tracking ("AIT") segment net sales were $367 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $351 million in the prior year period. Fourth-quarter 2018 gross profit was $539 million compared to $469 million in the comparable prior year period. Net





income for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $115 million, or $2.11 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2017.

Adjusted (Non-GAAP) results
Consolidated adjusted net sales were $1,137 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $1,026 million in the prior year period, an increase of 10.8%. Consolidated organic net sales growth for the fourth quarter was 9.1% reflecting growth in all regions, led by APAC, North America and Latin America. Fourth-quarter year-over-year organic net sales growth was 11.6% in the EVM segment and 4.3% in the AIT segment.

Consolidated adjusted gross margin increased to 47.7% for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to 45.8% in the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to favorable business mix and the favorable impact of currency changes, partially offset by the imposition of tariffs on certain products imported from China into the United States. Adjusted operating expenses increased in the fourth quarter of 2018 to $320 million from $287 million in the prior year period primarily due to growth in the business and increased incentive compensation expense related to improved operating results.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2018 increased to $240 million, or 21.1% of adjusted net sales, compared to $204 million, or 19.9% of adjusted net sales, for the fourth quarter of 2017 primarily due to higher gross profit margin.

Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $169 million, or $3.10 per diluted share, compared with $126 million, or $2.33 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2017. A lower tax rate and lower interest costs also contributed to the year-over-year improvement.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of December 31, 2018, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $44 million and total debt of $1,600 million.

For the full year 2018, free cash flow was $721 million, which includes $33 million received from commencement of our program to factor certain of the company's accounts receivables. The company generated $785 million of operating cash flow and incurred capital expenditures of $64 million. In 2018, the company made net debt repayments of $657 million. The company also made cash interest payments of $90 million and paid $87 million in cash in connection with our acquisition of Xplore Technologies.

Outlook
First Quarter 2019
The company expects first-quarter 2019 net sales to increase approximately 6% to 9% from the first quarter of 2018. This expectation includes an approximately 150-200 basis point additive impact from the acquisition of Xplore Technologies, and an approximately 100 basis point negative impact from foreign currency translation.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be approximately 21% for the first quarter of 2019. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $2.75 to $2.95. This assumes an adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 16%.

Full Year 2019
The company expects full-year 2019 net sales to increase approximately 4% to 7% from 2018. This expectation includes an approximately 1 percentage point positive impact from the acquisition of Xplore Technologies, and an approximately 50 basis point negative impact from foreign currency translation.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be slightly higher than 21% for the full-year 2019, favorable to 2018.

For the full-year 2019, the company expects to generate free cash flow of at least $625 million.

The outlook amounts provided above do not include any projected results from the proposed acquisition of Temptime Corporation, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2019.

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 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, for certain currencies, 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 both the current year and 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.

Operating results reported in U.S. dollars are affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. 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, for certain currencies, the current period results at the currency exchange rates used in the comparable prior year period, rather than the exchange rates in effect during the current period. In addition, we exclude the impact of the company’s foreign currency hedging program in both the current and prior year periods.

For purposes of computing Organic Net Sales, amounts directly attributable to the Xplore acquisition (included in our consolidated results beginning August 14, 2018) will be excluded for 12-months following the acquisition date.

(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.
