NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Management prepared these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for Zebra Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries (“Zebra”) according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. These financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Zebra’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 included in this Form 10-Q is taken from the audited consolidated balance sheet in our Form 10-K. These interim financial statements include all adjustments (of a normal, recurring nature) necessary to present fairly Zebra’s consolidated financial position as of March 29, 2014, consolidated statement of earnings, consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of cash flow for the three months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013. These results, however, are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Note 2 – 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.

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 March 29, 2014, 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 and other types of valuation adjustment methodologies at March 29, 2014. 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 our auction rate security discussed above 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, 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.

Note 3 – Investments and Marketable Securities

Investments in marketable debt securities are classified based on intent and ability to sell the investment securities. We intend to use Zebra’s available-for-sale securities to fund future acquisitions and other operating needs and therefore may 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 of available-for-sale securities are shown as purchases, sales and maturities of investments and marketable securities under investing activities.

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

Included in Zebra’s cash and investments and marketable securities are amounts held by foreign subsidiaries which are generally invested in U.S. dollar-denominated holdings. Zebra had foreign cash and investments of $273,704,000 as of March 29, 2014, and $251,658,000 as of December 31, 2013. Amounts held by foreign subsidiaries are generally subject to U.S. income taxation upon repatriation, however, Zebra does not see a need to repatriate these funds.

In the fourth quarter 2013, Zebra acquired all of the outstanding membership interests in Hart Systems, LLC (a New York limited liability company) with $60,858,000 of the purchase price allocated to goodwill. This acquisition is considered a separate reporting unit for purposes of Zebra’s goodwill impairment test.

Note 7 – Costs Associated with Exit and Restructuring Activities

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.

Note 8 – 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.

11

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):

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.

Note 9 – 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 is adjusted quarterly based on historical warranty experience.

Note 10 – Contingencies

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 – Share-Based Compensation

Zebra has a share-based compensation plan and a stock purchase plan available for future grants. Zebra recognizes compensation costs using the straight-line method over the vesting period of up to 5 years.

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

	Three Months Ended
	March 29, 2014		March 30, 2013
Cost of sales	$	242	$	184
Selling and marketing		553		465

General and administrative		1,805		1,172
Total compensation	$	2,966	$	2,146
Income tax benefit	$	993	$	730

Cash flows resulting from the tax benefits from 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 for the three months ended March 29, 2014 was $395,000 and for the three months ended March 30, 2013 was $358,000.

15

The fair value of share-based compensation 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 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. Restricted stock grants are valued at the market closing price on the date of the grant. 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:

	Three Months Ended

Exercisable at end of period		507,992		$	30.56
Intrinsic value of exercised SARs	$	648,000

16

The terms of the SARs are established under either the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan or the 2011 Long-term Incentive Plan (the “Plans”) 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 SARs exercised. Exercised SARs are settled in whole shares of Zebra stock, and any fraction of a share is settled in cash. The SARs granted typically vest annually in four equal amounts on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, with some SARs vesting over a period of five years. All SARs expire 10 years after the grant date.

The following table summarizes information about SARs outstanding at March 29, 2014:

	Outstanding		Exercisable
Aggregate intrinsic value	$	34,193,000	$	15,564,000
Weighted-average remaining contractual term		7.4 years		6.4 years

Forfeited		(1,632	)		42.62
Outstanding at end of period		428,100		$	41.03

The terms of Zebra’s restricted stock grants are defined in the Plans and the applicable award agreements. Restricted stock grants consist of time vested restricted stock awards (RSA’s) and performance share awards (PSA’s). Zebra’s restricted stock awards are expensed over the vesting period of the related award, typically three to five years. Compensation cost is calculated as the market date fair value on the grant date multiplied by the number of shares granted.

Performance share award activity granted under the Plans, are as follows:

Note 14 – Income Taxes

Zebra has identified, evaluated, and measured the amount of income tax benefits to be recognized for all of our income tax positions. Included in deferred tax assets are amounts related to federal and state net operating losses that resulted from our acquisition of WhereNet Corp in 2007. We intend to utilize these net operating loss carryforwards to offset future income taxes prior to expiration. 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 March 31, 2014.

Zebra earns a significant amount of our operating income outside of the U.S., which is deemed to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. We do not intend to repatriate funds. Repatriation would result in higher effective tax rates. Borrowing in the U.S. would result in increased interest expense.

In 2014, we completed an audit of the 2011 and 2012 US federal income tax returns with no material impact on the financial statements. Various tax years 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 with no material impact on the financial statements.

.

At March 31, 2014 Zebra’s unrealized tax benefit was $4,000. Zebra’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense. For the three months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, we did not accrue any interest or penalties into income tax expense.

	Three Months Ended
	March 29, 2014			March 30, 2013
Effective tax rate		22.3	%		18.2	%

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2014 was 22.3% compared with 18.2% for the first quarter of 2013. 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 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. The 2014 effective rate reflects $3,700,000 of acquisition expenses incurred for which no tax benefit was recorded. The acquisition expenses were incurred in the first quarter of 2014 and relate to the recent announcement that Zebra has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Enterprise business of Motorola Solutions. See Note 16 for more details.

Note 15 – Other Comprehensive Income

Stockholders’ equity includes certain items classified as accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), including:

• Unrealized gains (losses) on hedging transactions 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 8 for more details.

• Unrealized gains (losses) on investments are deferred from income statement recognition until the gains or losses are realized.

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

Consolidated Results of Operations – First quarter

Sales

Net sales for the first quarter of 2014 compared with the corresponding 2013 quarter, increased 21.7% as a result of growth across all product categories with notable increases in supplies, service contracts, tabletop, desktop and mobile printers. Increased services and software revenue is primarily due to growth in services revenue attributable to both organic growth and the December 2013 acquisition of Hart Systems.

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

Operating expenses for the first quarter increased 11.4% as a result of increased compensation, outside professional services, acquisition and amortization costs as a result of the December 2013 acquisition of Hart Systems LLC. Acquisition expenses increased primarily due to the recent announcement that Zebra has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Enterprise business of Motorola Solutions.

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

	Three Months Ended

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2014 was 22.3% compared with 18.2% for the first quarter of 2013. The 2014 effective rate reflects $3,700,000 of acquisition expenses incurred for which no tax benefit was recorded. The acquisition expenses that were incurred in the first quarter of 2014 relate to the recent the announcement that Zebra has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Enterprise business of Motorola Solutions. See Note 16 for more details.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

(Amounts in thousands, except percentages):

	Three Months Ended
Rate of Return Analysis:	March 29, 2014			March 30, 2013
Average cash and marketable securities balances	$	441,975		$	405,820
Annualized rate of return		0.4	%		0.7	%

As of March 29, 2014, Zebra had $468,155,000 in cash and investments and marketable securities, compared with $415,795,000 at December 31, 2013. Factors affecting cash and investment balances during the first three months of 2014 include the following (changes below include the impact of foreign currency):

• Accounts receivable increased $4,793,000 due to increased sales and timing of receipts.

• Accrued liabilities decreased $9,670,000 due to the timing of annual bonus payments and regular payroll.

• Income taxes payable increased $8,146,000 due to the timing of tax payments.

• Stock option exercises and purchases under the stock purchase plan contributed $4,936,000.

Zebra earns a significant amount of our operating income outside of the U.S., which is deemed to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions.

On April 14, 2014, Zebra entered into a definitive agreement under which Zebra will acquire the Enterprise business of Motorola Solutions, Inc. for $3.45 billion in an all-cash transaction. Zebra intends to fund the acquisition with a combination of approximately $200 million of available cash on hand and the issuance of $3.25 billion in new debt. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of 2014.

Significant Customer

Our net sales to significant customers as a percentage of total net sales were as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	March 29, 2014			March 30, 2013
Customer A		15.2	%		16.6	%
Customer B		12.5	%		12.0	%
Customer C		12.4	%		11.9	%

No other customer accounted for 10% or more of total net sales during these periods. The customers disclosed above are distributors (i.e. not end users) of Zebra’s products.

Item 4. 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-Q. 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 report on Form 10-Q 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.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal controls that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls 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 control over financial reporting will prevent 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 all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Zebra have been 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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Recent Developments

On April 14, 2014, Zebra Technologies Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and Motorola Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Motorola Solutions”), entered into a Master Acquisition Agreement (the “Master Acquisition Agreement”), an Intellectual Property Agreement and an Employee Matters Agreement (the “Employee Matters Agreement” and collectively, the “Principal Agreements”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Principal Agreements, which have been approved by our board of directors, we have agreed to acquire (the “Acquisition”) Motorola Solution’s Enterprise business (the “Enterprise business”). Certain assets of Motorola Solutions relating to the Enterprise business will be excluded from the transaction and retained by it, including Motorola Solution’s iDEN infrastructure business, and other assets and certain liabilities as specified in the definitive agreement. The Acquisition is structured as a combination of stock and asset sales and a merger of certain U.S. entities. Upon the closing of the Acquisition, we will pay to Motorola Solutions $3.45 billion in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment. In addition, we will assume certain liabilities related to the Enterprise business under the terms of the Principal Agreements.

Completion of the Acquisition is subject to various conditions, including, among others, (i) no order or other legal restraint or prohibition being in effect that would prohibit or prevent the transactions from being consummated; (ii) no legal proceeding having been commenced by any governmental entity that seeks to prevent, prohibit or make illegal the transactions to be consummated; (iii) certain specified filings with governmental entities having been made; (iv) all consents and approvals of certain specified governmental entities having been obtained; and (v) the applicable waiting period (and any extensions thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act having expired or otherwise having been terminated. Each party’s obligation to consummate the Acquisition is also subject to certain additional conditions, including performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the Principal Agreements. The Master Acquisition Agreement contains certain termination rights for both us and Motorola Solutions, including if the initial closing of the Acquisition has not occurred by April 13, 2015.

We intend to fund the Acquisition and the related fees, commissions and expenses with a combination of cash on hand and new financing. Concurrently with the signing of the Master Acquisition Agreement, we entered into a financing commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. (the “Lender”) whereby the Lender committed to fund $2.0 billion under a new senior secured term loan facility, provide a $250 million new senior secured revolving credit facility, and up to $1.25 billion under a bridge facility (less the aggregate proceeds of new unsecured senior notes that would be issued in a Rule 144A offering) (together, the “Financing”). We expect the Financing, together with cash balances, to be sufficient to provide the financing necessary to consummate the Acquisition. The financing commitment of the Lender is subject to certain conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter. We have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing, and Motorola Solutions has agreed to reasonably cooperate in our efforts to obtain the Financing. There is no financing condition to the Acquisition. However, in the event of a Financing Failure (as defined in the Master Acquisition Agreement) and subsequent termination of the Master Acquisition Agreement, Motorola Solutions may be entitled to a termination fee in the amount of $250 million as Motorola Solution’s sole and exclusive remedy. In circumstances where the fee is not the sole and exclusive remedy, Motorola Solutions will have available to it all other remedies as permitted by the Master Acquisition Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Principal Agreements and Commitment Letter does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Master Acquisition Agreement, the IP Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreement and the Commitment Letter, which were filed as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to our Form 8-K filed April 16, 2014 and incorporated herein by reference. The Principal Agreements and the Commitment Letter are filed to provide security holders with information regarding their terms. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about us, Motorola Solutions or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, or the Enterprise business. These agreements contain representations and warranties by each of the parties to the applicable agreement. These representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the other parties to each such agreement and (a) are not intended to be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate, (b) may have been qualified in the applicable agreement by confidential disclosure schedules that were delivered to the other party in connection with the signing of the agreements,

27

which disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in such agreements, (c) may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the parties that differ from what might be viewed as material to stockholders and (d) were made only as of the date of the agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the agreement. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of us, our subsidiaries and affiliates, Motorola Solutions, their subsidiaries and affiliates or the Enterprise business.

Risks Related to the Acquisition

There can be no assurance that the Acquisition will be consummated on the terms or timetable currently anticipated or at all.

Although we expect to close the Acquisition prior to December 31, 2014, there can be no assurance that the acquisition will be consummated on the terms or timetable currently anticipated or at all. In order to consummate the acquisition, we must obtain certain regulatory and other approvals and consents in a timely manner. If these approvals or consents are not received, or they are not received on terms that satisfy the conditions set forth in the Master Acquisition Agreement, then we and/or Motorola Solutions will not be obligated to complete the acquisition. The Master Acquisition Agreement also contains other closing conditions, which may not be satisfied or waived. In addition, under circumstances specified in the Master Acquisition Agreement, we or Motorola Solutions may terminate the Master Acquisition Agreement. There is no financing condition to the Acquisition. However, in the event of a Financing Failure (as defined in the Master Acquisition Agreement) and subsequent termination of the Master Acquisition Agreement, Motorola Solutions may be entitled to a termination fee in the amount of $250 million as its sole and exclusive remedy. In circumstances where the fee is not the sole and exclusive remedy, Motorola Solutions will have available to it all other remedies as permitted by the Master Acquisition Agreement. Additionally, we will be required to pay significant costs incurred in connection with the Acquisition, including legal, accounting, financial advisory and other costs, whether or not the Acquisition is completed. The occurrence of any of these events individually or in combination could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows and growth prospects.

If we do not obtain financing, we will be unable to consummate the Acquisition.

We intend to fund the Acquisition and the related fees, commissions and expenses with a combination of cash on hand and new financing. Concurrently with the signing of the Master Acquisition Agreement, we entered into the Commitment Letter with the Lender to provide Financing for the Acquisition. We currently expect the financing under the Commitment Letter, together with cash balances, to be sufficient to provide the financing necessary to consummate the Acquisition. However, the financing commitment of the Lender is subject to certain conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter and we can provide no assurance that the Lender will ultimately provide the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter. If the necessary financing is not available pursuant to the Commitment Letter, we will seek alternative sources of financing for the Acquisition. We cannot assure you that any additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent that financing proves to be unavailable when needed to consummate the Acquisition, we may be unable to complete the Acquisition. See “There can be no assurance that the Acquisition will be consummated on the terms or timetable currently anticipated or at all.”

We may be unable to effectively integrate the Enterprise business into our existing business after the acquisition.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to integrate the Enterprise business effectively into the Company. The integration of the Enterprise business, which is significantly larger than our existing business, into our operations will be a significant undertaking and will require significant attention from our management. The Acquisition, with an approximate enterprise value of $3.45 billion, is significantly larger than prior acquisitions we have completed and will significantly increase the size of our operations, increase our number of employees and operating facilities and expand our geographic scope. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully integrate the Enterprise business, or if such integration is successfully accomplished, that such integration will not be more costly than presently contemplated. There can also be no assurance that we can successfully manage the combined business due to our greatly increased size and scope. If we cannot successfully integrate and manage the Enterprise business within a reasonable time following the acquisition, we may not be able to realize the potential and anticipated benefits of the acquisition, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows and growth prospects.

28

We may be unable to realize the expected growth opportunities and cost savings from the Acquisition.

In connection with the integration of the Enterprise business into our existing operating structure, we will seek to realize growth opportunities, along with cost savings. We currently expect to realize cost savings of approximately $100 million per year to be fully achieved by 2017. The anticipated cost savings are based upon assumptions about our ability to implement integration measures in a timely fashion and within certain cost parameters. Our ability to achieve the planned cost synergies is dependent upon a significant number of factors, some of which may be beyond our control. For example, we may be unable to eliminate duplicative costs in a timely fashion or at all. Our inability to realize anticipated cost savings, and revenue enhancements from the acquisition could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows and growth prospects.

The Acquisition could divert the attention of management.

If we complete the Acquisition, we will be entering new lines of business that we lack experience managing. Similarly, because the Enterprise business is significantly larger than our existing business, we will be required to manage new and larger lines of business, and consequently the integration process will require significant attention from management, which may divert management’s attention from our existing businesses. Management may also have difficulty assimilating the corporate cultures, maintaining employee morale and retaining key employees. These diversions, together with other difficulties we may have integrating the Enterprise business, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows and growth prospects.

We may be unable to retain key employees who are currently employed by the Enterprise business.

Generally, employees of the Enterprise business are not contractually obligated to continue their employment with the Enterprise business. Our ability to successfully integrate and operate the Enterprise business depends in part on the continued service of senior management and other key personnel of the Enterprise business. We can provide no assurance that we will be successful in retaining the service of the Enterprise business’s senior managers and key employees, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our ability to integrate the Enterprise business.

The Enterprise business may have liabilities that are not known to us.

As part of the acquisition, we will assume certain liabilities of the Enterprise business. There may be liabilities that we failed or were unable to discover in the course of performing due diligence investigations into the Enterprise business. Any such liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows and growth prospects.

The acquisition will entitle certain customers of the Enterprise business to terminate their agreements with it as a result of change of control provisions.

The acquisition may entitle certain Enterprise customers to terminate certain of their agreements with the Enterprise business. We cannot avoid the possibility that some customers may exercise their termination rights and opt to discontinue business with the Enterprise business once we complete the acquisition, which could have an adverse effect on our expected revenues following the acquisition.

Moreover, the acquisition may cause some of our existing customers to conclude that they are overly reliant on a single provider. In such circumstance, our customers may engage our competitors or facilitate the emergence of new competitors to diversify sourcing and service options, which could have an adverse effect on our expected revenues following the acquisition.

29

Risks Related to the Indebtedness

In connection with the Acquisition, we will incur substantial debt obligations, which could adversely affect our financial condition.

As of March 29, 2014, after giving pro forma effect to the Acquisition, our total outstanding debt for borrowed money would have been approximately $3.25 billion, assuming we did not issue any convertible preferred stock to finance the acquisition. In addition, subject to restrictions in the agreements governing our existing and future indebtedness, we may incur additional indebtedness. Our substantial level of indebtedness could have important consequences, including the following:

• it may be more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our existing indebtedness or future indebtedness, including indebtedness we incur in connection with the Acquisition;

• our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate purposes may be impaired;

• a substantial portion of cash flow from operations will be used to pay interest and principal on the indebtedness, which may reduce the funds available to us for other purposes, such as acquisitions and capital expenditures;

• it may limit our ability to borrow additional funds;

• result in our being at a competitive disadvantage with reduced flexibility in planning for, or responding to, changing conditions in the industry, including increased competition; and

• make us more vulnerable to economic downturns and adverse developments in the business.

We expect to fund our expenses and to pay the principal and interest on our indebtedness from cash flow from operations. Our ability to meet our expenses and to pay principal and interest on our indebtedness when due thus depends on our future performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic and other factors. We will not be able to control many of these factors, such as economic conditions in the markets where we operate and pressure from competitors. Additionally, we have not previously undertaken substantial amounts of indebtedness. Historically, we have operated our business without incurring significant indebtedness for borrowed money and have limited experience operating our business subject to the constraints imposed by agreements governing such indebtedness.

Despite the indebtedness to be incurred in connection with the Acquisition, we may be able to incur substantially more indebtedness and take other actions that could further exacerbate the risk associated with our substantial indebtedness.

We plan to incur approximately $3.25 billion of indebtedness in connection with the Acquisition. In addition to the planned financing activities, we may be able to incur substantially more indebtedness in the future, resulting in higher leverage. Subject to the limits contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness, we may incur additional indebtedness from time to time to finance working capital, capital expenditures, investments or acquisitions, or for other purposes. To the extent we incur additional indebtedness, the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness will be exacerbated.

Restrictive covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness may limit our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes in our business or to pursue our business strategies.

The agreements governing the indebtedness we expect to incur to fund the Acquisition, and instruments governing any future indebtedness will contain, a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions, including restrictions on our ability to take actions that we believe may be in our interest. We expect these covenants will limit our ability to:

• incur additional indebtedness or guarantees;

• pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our stock or prepay or redeem certain indebtedness;

• sell or dispose of assets and issue capital stock of restricted subsidiaries;

• incur liens or enter into sale-lease-back transactions;

• enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends;

• enter into transactions with affiliates;

• engage in new lines of business;

• consolidate, merge or enter into other fundamental changes;

• make loans, investments and/or acquisitions; and

• enter into amendments or modifications of certain material subordinated debt agreements or organizational documents.

30

Additionally, the senior credit facility we plan to enter into to fund a portion of the Enterprise acquisition will require us to maintain in certain circumstances compliance with a consolidated total secured net leverage ratio. Our ability to comply with this ratio may be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet this ratio.

The restrictions could adversely affect our ability to:

• finance operations;

• make needed capital expenditures;

• make strategic acquisitions or investments or enter into alliances;

• withstand a future downturn in our business or the economy in general;

• engage in business activities, including future opportunities, that may be in our interest; and

• plan for or react to market conditions or otherwise execute our business strategies.

A breach of any of the covenants contained in the agreements governing the indebtedness (including an inability to comply with the financial maintenance covenants) that is not remedied within the applicable cure period, if any, would result in an event of default under the indebtedness we plan to incur to fund the Acquisition. If, when required, we are unable to repay or refinance our indebtedness or amend the covenants contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness, or if a default otherwise occurs that is not cured or waived, the lenders or holders of our debt securities could elect to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable or institute foreclosure proceedings against those assets that secure the borrowings. Should the outstanding obligations be accelerated and become due and payable because of any failure to comply with the applicable covenants in the future, we would be required to search for alternative measures to finance current and ongoing obligations of our business. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Any of these scenarios could adversely impact our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

A significant amount of cash will be required to service the indebtedness we plan to incur to fund the Acquisition.

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance the indebtedness we plan to incur to fund the Acquisition and to fund working capital needs, general corporate expenditures and planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate a significant amount of cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, business, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. Additionally, the specific interest rates with respect to the Financing have not been determined, and will not be determined for some time. As a result, we currently do not know with certainty the exact amount of interest expense we will be subject to as a result of the Financing.

If our business does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations or if future borrowings are not available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before the maturity thereof, sell assets, reduce or delay capital investments or seek to raise additional capital, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, we may not be able to effect any of these actions, if necessary, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our ability to restructure or refinance our indebtedness will depend on the condition of the capital and debt markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our indebtedness could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict business operations. The terms of anticipated or future debt instruments may limit or prevent us from taking any of these actions. In addition, any failure to make scheduled payments of interest and/or principal on outstanding indebtedness would likely result in a reduction of our credit rating, which could harm our ability to access additional capital on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt service obligations, or to refinance or restructure our obligations on commercially reasonable terms or at all, would have an adverse effect, which could be material, on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as on our ability to satisfy the obligations in respect of our indebtedness.

In addition to the other information included in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the factors identified under “Safe Harbor” at the end of Item 2 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing Zebra. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and/or results of operations.

6. Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. Participant agrees to, understands and acknowledges the following:

(i) information relating to the Company’s or Subsidiary’s past and existing customers and vendors and development of prospective customers and vendors, including specific customer product requirements, pricing arrangements, payment terms, customer lists and other similar information;

(ii) inventions, designs, methods, discoveries, works of authorship, creations, improvements or ideas developed or otherwise produced, acquired or used by the Company and/or a Subsidiary;

(iv) the subject matter of the Company’s or Subsidiary’s patents, design patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, manuals, operating instructions, training materials, and other industrial property, including such information in incomplete stages of design or research and development; and

The Company and its Subsidiaries devotes significant financial, human and other resources to the development of its products, its customer base and the general goodwill associated with its business, and the Company and its Subsidiaries diligently maintains the secrecy and confidentiality of their Confidential Information. Each and every component of the Confidential Information is sufficiently secret to derive economic value from its not being generally known to other persons. While employed by the Company and/or Subsidiary and thereafter, the Participant will hold in the strictest confidence and not use in any manner which is detrimental to the Company or its Subsidiaries or disclose to any individual or entity any Confidential Information, except as may be required by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the Participant’s employment.

4

All Company Materials are and will be the sole property of the Company and/or Subsidiary. The Participant agrees that during and after his or her employment by the Company and/or Subsidiary, the Participant will not remove any Company Materials from the business premises of the Company or a Subsidiary or deliver any Company Materials to any person or entity outside the Company or a Subsidiary, except as the Participant is required to do so in connection with performing the duties of his or her employment. The Participant further agrees that, immediately upon the termination of his or her employment for any reason, or during the Participant’s employment if so requested by the Company, the Participant will return all Company Materials and other physical property, and any reproduction thereof, excepting only the Participant’s copy of this Agreement. For purposes of this Stock Agreement, “Company Materials” means documents or other media or tangible items that contain or embody Confidential Information or any other information concerning the business, operations or future/strategic plans of the Company and/or any Subsidiary, whether such documents have been prepared by the Participant or by others.

b. Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. Notwithstanding any provision of this Stock Agreement, if at any time prior to the date that is one year after the date of vesting of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock, the Participant directly or indirectly:

(i) breaches or violates Section 6(a) of this Stock Agreement; or

(ii) employs, recruits or solicits for employment any person who is (or was within six (6) months prior to the Participant’s employment termination date) an employee of the Company and/or any Subsidiary; or

(iii) accepts employment or engages in a competing business which may require contact, solicitation, interference or diverting of any of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s customers, or that may result in the disclosure, divulging, or other use, of Confidential Information or Company Materials acquired during the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary; or

(iv) solicits or encourages any customer, vendor or potential customer or vendor of the Company with whom the Participant had contact while employed by the Company to terminate or otherwise alter his, her or its relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary. The Participant understands that any person or entity that Participant contacted during the twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Participant’s termination of employment for the purpose of soliciting sales from such person or entity shall be regarded as a “potential customer” of the Company to whom the Company or a Subsidiary has a protectable proprietary interest;

the unvested Restricted Stock shall be forfeited automatically on the date the Participant engages in such activity and the Participant shall pay the Company, within five business days of receipt by the Participant of a written demand therefor, an amount in cash determined by multiplying the number of Shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Stock Agreement which vested within the one-year period described above by the Fair Market Value of a Share, determined as of the date of vesting

5

c. Remedies for Violation.

(i) Injunctive Action. Participant acknowledges that if he or she violates the terms of this Section 6 the injury that would be suffered by the Company and/or a Subsidiary as a result of a breach of the provisions of this Stock Agreement (including any provision of Section 6(a) or (b) hereof) would be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages to the Company and/or a Subsidiary for such a breach would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently, the Company and/or a Subsidiary will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce any provision of this Stock Agreement, and the Company and/or a Subsidiary will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief. Without limiting the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s rights under this Section 6 or any other remedies of the Company or Subsidiary, if the Participant breaches any of the provisions of Section 6(a) or (b) hereof, the Company will have the right to cancel this Stock Agreement.

(ii) Attorneys’ Fees; Set-off Right. In addition to the rights available to the Company and its Subsidiaries under Section 6(c)(i) hereof, if the Participant violates the terms of this Section 6 at any time, the Company shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Participant of any fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in enforcing the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s rights under this Section 6. By accepting this Restricted Stock grant, the Participant hereby consents to a deduction from any amounts the Company or any Subsidiary owes to the Participant from time to time (including amounts owed to the Participant as wages or other compensation, fringe benefits or vacation pay, as well as any other amounts owed to the Participant by the Company or any Subsidiary), unless such amount is subject to Section 409A of the Code, to the extent of any amounts that the Participant owes to the Company under this Section 6. In addition to any injunctive relief sought under Section 6(c)(i) hereof and whether or not the Company or any Subsidiary elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company or any Subsidiary does not recover by means of set-off the full amount the Participant owes to the Company or any Subsidiary, calculated as set forth in this Section 6(c)(ii), the Participant agrees to immediately pay the unpaid balance to the Company or any Subsidiary.

d. Enforceability of Restrictive Covenants. The scope and duration of the restrictive covenants contained in this Stock Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect a legitimate, protectable interest of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

e. Written Acknowledgement by Participant. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may require the Participant, as a condition to lapsing any restriction on the Restricted Stock, to acknowledge in writing that the Participant has not engaged, and is not in the process of engaging, in any of the activities described in this Section 6.

7. Miscellaneous Provisions.

Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Committee during the Participant’s lifetime.

Exhibit A

1. Total Net Sales Performance Goal (Step 1).

	Below Threshold			Threshold			Target			Maximum
Compounded Annual Growth Rate of Total Net Sales		< 5.00	%		5.00	%		7.50	%		10.00	%
Vested Percentage of Restricted Stock		0	%		50.00	%		100.00	%		150.00	%

Compounded Annual Growth Rate of Total Net Sales (“CAGR”) equals (A) the quotient obtained by dividing 2016 total net sales of the Company by 2013 total net sales of the Company, (B) raised to the one-third power, minus (C) one. CAGR shall be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent. For a CAGR between 5.00% and 10.00%, the Vested Percentage of Restricted Stock shall be interpolated on a straight line basis and rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent.

Annual Net Sales Performance Goal: The Participant is eligible for banking of a specified number of shares on an annual basis based upon an implied annual growth rate. Unless the Committee or the Board otherwise determines in its sole discretion, the implied annual growth target will be the same as the three-year CAGR target of 7.5%. If, as of December 31 of each calendar year commencing December 31, 2014, the implied annual target is achieved, 1/3 of the number of Target Shares (rounded to the nearest whole Share) shall be banked for further calculations in steps 1 and 2. If the implied annual target for such year is not achieved, then no Shares shall be banked for such year. No interpolation or pro-ration is applied to the number of Shares if the implied annual target is not achieved and, if the implied annual target is exceeded, no additional Target Shares in respect of such year shall be banked. The sum of the banked shares in respect of each calendar year, if any, shall be the “Minimum Initial Vested Shares”.

As of December 31, 2016, the greater of either (1) the Minimum Initial Vested Shares or (2) the number of Shares determined under this step 1 pursuant to the first paragraph in this Exhibit A shall be the initial number of Shares of Restricted Stock, if any, that vest and shall be rounded to the nearest whole Share (the “Initial Vested Shares”). The Vested Percentage of Restricted Stock, as so determined, shall be multiplied by the number of Target Shares to determine the number of Shares under this step 1.

Unless the Committee or the Board otherwise determines in its sole discretion, for purposes of calculating the CAGR and ROIC (as defined below and including the determination of Annual Fiscal ROIC and NOPAT), (A) net sales and ROIC of the Company derived from acquisitions shall be included and (B) divestitures of subsidiaries or businesses of the Company shall not affect the determination of total net sales or ROIC of the Company.

10

2. Return on Invested Capital Modifier (Step 2). If the number of Initial Vested Shares exceeds zero, then the number of “Vested Shares” shall equal the product of the Initial Vested Shares multiplied by the Modifier set forth in the following table (rounded to the nearest whole share):

ROIC	< 13.00%	13.00% to 17.99%	18.00% to 21.99%	22.00% or greater
Modifier	0.6	0.8	1.0	1.2

ROIC equals the average of the Annual Fiscal ROIC for 2014, 2015, and 2016. Annual Fiscal ROIC is defined as net operating profit after tax (“NOPAT”) for the fiscal period divided by Invested Capital where (1) NOPAT equals Operating Income of the Company for the fiscal period multiplied by (1-budgeted tax rate for the fiscal period ) and (2) Invested Capital equals total assets, less cash and cash equivalents, current and long-term investments and marketable securities, and non-interest-bearing current liabilities, and which is calculated as the average Invested Capital reflected on five balance sheet dates (the ending balance for the prior fiscal year and the ending balance for all four fiscal quarters). “Operating Income” means the consolidated operating income of the Company for the fiscal year, adjusted to remove non-recurring charges and for acquisitions as described in this subsection.

Unless the Committee or the Board otherwise determines in its sole discretion, non-recurring charges specifically include such expense items as (i) one-time charges, non-operating charges or expenses incurred that are not under the control of operations management, as approved or ratified by the Committee or the Board; (ii) restructuring expenses; (iii) exit expenses; (iv) acquisition, integration and divestiture expenses; (v) Board of Directors projects (e.g., director searches); (vi) gains or losses on the sale of assets; (vii) acquired in-process technology (viii) impairment charges and (ix) changes in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This list is not exhaustive and is meant to represent examples of the kind of expenses typically excluded from the calculations of income from operations.

Changes in accounting principles shall be consistently applied.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or (d) of the Plan in connection with which (i) holders of Shares receive consideration consisting solely of shares of common stock that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act (and disregarding the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares) and (ii) this Stock Agreement is assumed or provision is made for the continuation of this Stock Agreement, then subject to Section 4.3 of the Plan, this Stock Agreement shall continue in accordance with its terms, and there shall be substituted for each Share of Restricted Stock then subject to this Stock Agreement, the number and class of shares into which each outstanding Share shall be converted pursuant to such Change in Control.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.5(a) or (b) of the Plan, or in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or (d) of the Plan as to which Section 5(a) above does not apply, this grant shall be surrendered to the Company by the Participant, and this grant shall immediately be canceled by the Company, and the Participant shall receive, within 10 days following the effective date of the Change in Control, a cash payment from the Company in an amount equal to the number of Shares of unvested Restricted Stock as of the effective date of the Change in Control, multiplied by the greater of (i) the highest per Share price offered to stockholders of the Company in any transaction whereby the Change in Control takes place or (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the effective date of the Change in Control.

6. Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. The Participant agrees to, understands and acknowledges the following:

(a) Confidential Information. The Participant will be furnished, use or otherwise have access to certain Confidential Information of the Company and/or a Subsidiary. For purposes of this Stock Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any and all financial, technical, commercial or other information concerning the business and affairs of the Company and/or a Subsidiary that is confidential and proprietary to the Company and/or a Subsidiary, including without limitation,

3

(i) information relating to the Company’s or Subsidiary’s past and existing customers and vendors and development of prospective customers and vendors, including specific customer product requirements, pricing arrangements, payment terms, customer lists and other similar information;

(ii) inventions, designs, methods, discoveries, works of authorship, creations, improvements or ideas developed or otherwise produced, acquired or used by the Company and/or a Subsidiary;

(iii) the Company’s or Subsidiary’s proprietary programs, processes or software, consisting of but, not limited to, computer programs in source or object code and all related documentation and training materials, including all upgrades, updates, improvements, derivatives and modifications thereof and including programs and documentation in incomplete stages of design or research and development;

(iv) the subject matter of the Company’s or Subsidiary’s patents, design patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, manuals, operating instructions, training materials, and other industrial property, including such information in incomplete stages of design or research and development; and

(v) other confidential and proprietary information or documents relating to the Company’s or Subsidiary’s products, business and marketing plans and techniques, sales and distribution networks and any other information or documents which the Company reasonably regards as being confidential.

The Company and its Subsidiaries devote significant financial, human and other resources to the development of its products, its customer base and the general goodwill associated with its business, and the Company and its Subsidiaries diligently maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of their Confidential Information. Each and every component of the Confidential Information is sufficiently secret to derive economic value from its not being generally known to other persons. While employed by the Company and/or Subsidiary and thereafter, the Participant will hold in the strictest confidence and not use in any manner which is detrimental to the Company or its Subsidiaries or disclose to any individual or entity any Confidential Information, except as may be required by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the Participant’s employment.

All Company Materials are and will be the sole property of the Company and/or Subsidiary. The Participant agrees that during and after his or her employment by the Company and/or Subsidiary, the Participant will not remove any Company Materials from the business premises of the Company or a Subsidiary or deliver any Company Materials to any person or entity outside the Company or a Subsidiary, except as the Participant is required to do so in connection with performing the duties of his or her employment. The Participant further agrees that, immediately upon the termination of his or her employment for any reason, or during the Participant’s employment if so requested by the Company, the Participant will return all Company Materials and other physical property, and any reproduction thereof, excepting only the Participant’s copy of this Agreement. For purposes of this Stock Agreement, “Company Materials” means documents or other media or tangible items that contain or embody Confidential Information or any other information concerning the business, operations or future/strategic plans of the Company and/or any Subsidiary, whether such documents have been prepared by the Participant or by others.

4

(b) Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. Notwithstanding any provision of this Stock Agreement, if at any time prior to the date that is one year after the date of vesting of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock, the Participant, directly or indirectly:

(i) breaches or violates Section 6(a) of this Stock Agreement; or

(ii) employs, recruits or solicits for employment any person who is (or was within six (6) months prior to the Participant’s employment termination date) an employee of the Company and/or any Subsidiary; or

(iii) accepts employment or engages in a competing business which may require contact, solicitation, interference or diverting of any of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s customers, or that may result in the disclosure, divulging, or other use, of Confidential Information or Company Materials acquired during the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary; or

(iv) solicits or encourages any customer, vendor or potential customer or vendor of the Company or any Subsidiary with whom the Participant had contact while employed by the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate or otherwise alter his, her or its relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary. The Participant understands that any person or entity that the Participant contacted during the twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Participant’s termination of employment for the purpose of soliciting sales from such person or entity shall be regarded as a “potential customer” of the Company to whom the Company or a Subsidiary has a protectable proprietary interest;

the unvested Restricted Stock shall be forfeited automatically on the date the Participant engages in such activity and then the Participant shall pay the Company, within five business days of receipt by the Participant of a written demand therefore, an amount in cash determined by multiplying the number of Shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Stock Agreement which vested within the one-year period described above by the Fair Market Value of a Share, determined as of the date of vesting.

(c) Remedies for Violation.

(i) Injunctive Action. Participant acknowledges that if he or she violates the terms of this Section 6 the injury that would be suffered by the Company and/or a Subsidiary as a result of a breach of the provisions of this Stock Agreement (including any provision of Section 6(a) or (b) hereof) would be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages to the Company and/or a Subsidiary for such a breach would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently, the Company and/or a Subsidiary will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce any provision of this Stock Agreement, and the Company and/or a Subsidiary will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief. Without limiting the Company’s or Subsidiary’s rights under this Section 6 or any other remedies of the Company or a Subsidiary, if the Participant breaches any of the provisions of Section 6(a) or (b) hereof, the Company will have the right to cancel this Stock Agreement.

5

(ii) Forfeiture of Restricted Stock. In addition to the rights available to the Company and its Subsidiaries under Section 6(c)(i) hereof, if the Participant violates the terms of this Section 6 at any time, the Participant, without any further action by the Company or the Participant, shall forfeit, as of the first day of any such violation, all right, title and interest to unvested Restricted Stock and the Company further shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Participant of any fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in enforcing the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s rights under this Section 6. By accepting this Restricted Stock grant, the Participant hereby consents to a deduction from any amounts the Company or any Subsidiary owes to the Participant from time to time (including amounts owed to the Participant as wages or other compensation, fringe benefits, or vacation pay, as well as any other amounts owed to the Participant by the Company or any Subsidiary), unless such amount is subject to Section 409A of the Code, to the extent of any amounts that the Participant owes to the Company under this Section 6. In addition to any injunctive relief sought under Section 6(c)(i) hereof and whether or not the Company or any Subsidiary elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company or any Subsidiary does not recover by means of set-off the full amount the Participant owes to the Company or any Subsidiary, calculated as set forth in this Section 6(c)(ii), the Participant agrees to immediately pay the unpaid balance to the Company or any Subsidiary.

(d) Enforceability of Restrictive Covenants. The scope and duration of the restrictive covenants contained in this Stock Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect a legitimate, protectable interest of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(e) Written Acknowledgement by Participant. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may require the Participant, as a condition to lapsing any restriction on the Restricted Stock, to acknowledge in writing that the Participant has not engaged, and is not in the process of engaging, in any of the activities described in this Section 6.

7. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) No Service or Employment Rights. No provision of this Stock Agreement or of the Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall give the Participant any right to continue in the service or employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, create any inference as to the length of employment or service of the Participant, affect the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or service of the Participant, with or without Cause, or give the Participant any right to participate in any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program (other than the Plan) of the Company or any Subsidiary.

(b) Plan Document Governs. The Restricted Stock is granted pursuant to the Plan, and the Restricted Stock and this Stock Agreement are in all respects governed by the Plan and subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof, whether such terms and provisions are incorporated in this Stock Agreement by reference or are expressly cited. Any inconsistency between the Stock Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in favor of the Plan. Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.

(c) Beneficiary Designation. The Participant may, from time to time, in accordance with procedures set forth by the Committee, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under this Stock Agreement is to be paid in case of

6

his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Committee during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate or exercised by the Participant’s estate.

(d) Administration. This Stock Agreement and the rights of the Participant hereunder are subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt for administration of the Plan. It is expressly understood that the Committee is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Stock Agreement, all of which shall be binding upon the Participant.

(e) No Vested Right In Future Awards. Participant acknowledges and agrees (by executing this Stock Agreement) that the granting of Restricted Stock under this Stock Agreement is made on a fully discretionary basis by the Company and that this Stock Agreement does not lead to a vested right to further restricted stock or other awards in the future.

(f) Use Of Personal Data. By executing this Stock Agreement, Participant acknowledges and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of certain personal data, including his or her name, salary, nationality, job title, position and details of all past Awards and current Awards outstanding under the Plan (“Data”), for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan. The Participant is not obliged to consent to such collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data, but a refusal to provide such consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan. The Company, or its Subsidiaries, may transfer Data among themselves or to third parties as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These various recipients of Data may be located elsewhere throughout the world. The Participant authorizes these various recipients of Data to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Participant may, at any time, review Data with respect to the Participant and require any necessary amendments to such Data. The Participant may withdraw his or her consent to use Data herein by notifying the Company in writing; however, the Participant understands that by withdrawing his or her consent to use Data, the Participant may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan.

(g) Severability. In the event that any provision of this Stock Agreement (including, without limitations, the provisions of Section 6 hereof) are held to be unenforceable under applicable law to any extent, such provision(s) shall, to that extent, be excluded from this Stock Agreement and the balance of the Stock Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision(s) were so excluded to that extent and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(h) Waiver; Cumulative Rights. The failure or delay of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision hereof shall not affect its right to require performance of such provision unless and until such performance has been waived in writing. Each and every right hereunder is cumulative and may be exercised in part or in whole from time to time.

7

(i) Notices. Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give the other shall be in writing and may be delivered personally or by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Corporate Secretary of the Company, at its then corporate headquarters, and the Participant at the Participant’s address (including any electronic mail address) as shown on the Company’s records, or to such other address as the Participant, by notice to the Company, may designate in writing from time to time. The Participant hereby consents to electronic delivery of any notices that may be made hereunder.

(j) Counterparts. This Stock Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but both of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

(k) Successors and Assigns. This Stock Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each successor and assign of the Company. All obligations imposed upon the Participant, and all rights granted to the Company hereunder, shall be binding upon the Participant’s heirs, legal representatives and successors.

(l) Governing Law. This Stock Agreement and the Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to provisions thereof regarding conflict of laws.

(m) Entire Agreement. This Stock Agreement, together with the Plan, constitute the entire obligation of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any prior expressions of intent or understanding with respect to this transaction.

(n) Amendment. Any amendment to this Stock Agreement shall be in writing and signed by an executive officer of the Company or the Director of Compensation and Benefits.

(o) Headings. The headings contained in this Stock Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Stock Agreement.

Investments Debt And Equity Securities [Abstract]

Investments and Marketable Securities

Note 3 – Investments and Marketable Securities

Investments in marketable debt securities are classified based on intent and ability to sell the investment securities. We intend to use Zebra’s available-for-sale securities to fund future acquisitions and other operating needs and therefore may 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 of available-for-sale securities are shown as purchases, sales and maturities of investments and marketable securities under investing activities.

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

Included in Zebra’s cash and investments and marketable securities are amounts held by foreign subsidiaries which are generally invested in U.S. dollar-denominated holdings. Zebra had foreign cash and investments of $273,704,000 as of March 29, 2014, and $251,658,000 as of December 31, 2013. Amounts held by foreign subsidiaries are generally subject to U.S. income taxation upon repatriation, however, Zebra does not see a need to repatriate these funds.

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Management prepared these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for Zebra Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries (“Zebra”) according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. These financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Zebra’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 included in this Form 10-Q is taken from the audited consolidated balance sheet in our Form 10-K. These interim financial statements include all adjustments (of a normal, recurring nature) necessary to present fairly Zebra’s consolidated financial position as of March 29, 2014, consolidated statement of earnings, consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of cash flow for the three months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013. These results, however, are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

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.

Fair Value Measurements

Note 2 – 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.

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 March 29, 2014, 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 and other types of valuation adjustment methodologies at March 29, 2014. 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 our auction rate security discussed above 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, 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.

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract]

Share-Based Compensation

Note 13 – Share-Based Compensation

Zebra has a share-based compensation plan and a stock purchase plan available for future grants. Zebra recognizes compensation costs using the straight-line method over the vesting period of up to 5 years.

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

	Three Months Ended
	March 29, 2014		March 30, 2013
Cost of sales	$	242	$	184
Selling and marketing		553		465
Research and development		366		325
General and administrative		1,805		1,172
Total compensation	$	2,966	$	2,146
Income tax benefit	$	993	$	730

Cash flows resulting from the tax benefits from 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 for the three months ended March 29, 2014 was $395,000 and for the three months ended March 30, 2013 was $358,000.

The fair value of share-based compensation 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 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. Restricted stock grants are valued at the market closing price on the date of the grant. 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:

Exercisable at end of period		507,992		$	30.56
Intrinsic value of exercised SARs	$	648,000

The terms of the SARs are established under either the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan or the 2011 Long-term Incentive Plan (the “Plans”) 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 SARs exercised. Exercised SARs are settled in whole shares of Zebra stock, and any fraction of a share is settled in cash. The SARs granted typically vest annually in four equal amounts on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, with some SARs vesting over a period of five years. All SARs expire 10 years after the grant date.

The following table summarizes information about SARs outstanding at March 29, 2014:

	Outstanding		Exercisable
Aggregate intrinsic value	$	34,193,000	$	15,564,000
Weighted-average remaining contractual term		7.4 years		6.4 years

Forfeited		(1,632	)		42.62
Outstanding at end of period		428,100		$	41.03

The terms of Zebra’s restricted stock grants are defined in the Plans and the applicable award agreements. Restricted stock grants consist of time vested restricted stock awards (RSA’s) and performance share awards (PSA’s). Zebra’s restricted stock awards are expensed over the vesting period of the related award, typically three to five years. Compensation cost is calculated as the market date fair value on the grant date multiplied by the number of shares granted.

Performance share award activity granted under the Plans, are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 29, 2014

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Note 14 – Income Taxes

Zebra has identified, evaluated, and measured the amount of income tax benefits to be recognized for all of our income tax positions. Included in deferred tax assets are amounts related to federal and state net operating losses that resulted from our acquisition of WhereNet Corp in 2007. We intend to utilize these net operating loss carryforwards to offset future income taxes prior to expiration. 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 March 31, 2014.

Zebra earns a significant amount of our operating income outside of the U.S., which is deemed to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. We do not intend to repatriate funds. Repatriation would result in higher effective tax rates. Borrowing in the U.S. would result in increased interest expense.

In 2014, we completed an audit of the 2011 and 2012 US federal income tax returns with no material impact on the financial statements. Various tax years 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 with no material impact on the financial statements.

.

At March 31, 2014 Zebra’s unrealized tax benefit was $4,000. Zebra’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense. For the three months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, we did not accrue any interest or penalties into income tax expense.

	Three Months Ended
	March 29, 2014			March 30, 2013
Effective tax rate		22.3	%		18.2	%

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2014 was 22.3% compared with 18.2% for the first quarter of 2013. 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 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. The 2014 effective rate reflects $3,700,000 of acquisition expenses incurred for which no tax benefit was recorded. The acquisition expenses were incurred in the first quarter of 2014 and relate to the recent announcement that Zebra has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Enterprise business of Motorola Solutions. See Note 16 for more details.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments

Note 8 – 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):

Net fair value of outstanding contracts	$	61	$	33

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.

Equity [Abstract]

Other Comprehensive Income

Note 15 – Other Comprehensive Income

Stockholders’ equity includes certain items classified as accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), including:

• Unrealized gains (losses) on hedging transactions 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 8 for more details.

• Unrealized gains (losses) on investments are deferred from income statement recognition until the gains or losses are realized.

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

The components of other comprehensive income are as follows (in thousands):
