Zebra Technologies Announces Second-Quarter 2022 Results

Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), an innovator at the edge of the enterprise with solutions and partners that enable businesses to gain a performance edge, today announced results for the second quarter ended July 2, 2022.

"Our team delivered solid second quarter results, executing well in a challenging macro environment. Sales growth was near the high end of our expectations, and we were able to deliver adjusted earnings per share growth over the prior year, despite continued elevated supply chain costs and foreign currency exchange headwinds," said Anders Gustafsson, Chief Executive Officer of Zebra Technologies.

“We have a strong order backlog and robust pipeline of business that supports solid growth in the second half of 2022. For the full year, we are maintaining our sales outlook and adjusting EBITDA margin to the low end of our previous outlook to reflect the impact of the stronger U.S. Dollar and the recent Matrox Imaging acquisition. Although supply chain costs remain elevated, we continue to drive improvement through the actions we are taking. We are excited about the early traction we are seeing in our expansion markets which elevate Zebra’s customer value proposition.”

Net sales were $1,468 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $1,377 million in the second quarter of 2021. Net sales in the Enterprise Visibility & Mobility ("EVM") segment were $1,022 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared with $966 million in the second quarter of 2021. Asset Intelligence & Tracking ("AIT") segment net sales were $446 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $414 million in the prior year period. Consolidated organic net sales for the second quarter increased 6.9%. Second-quarter year-over-year organic net sales increased by 5.6% in the EVM segment and increased by 9.7% in the AIT segment.

Second quarter 2022 gross profit was $674 million compared to $658 million in the prior year period. Gross margin decreased to 45.9% for the second quarter of 2022 compared to 47.8% in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to higher premium supply chain costs and China import tariff recoveries in the prior year period. Adjusted gross margin was 46.0% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 48.0% in the prior year period.

Operating expenses increased in the second quarter of 2022 to $819 million from $411 million in the prior year period, primarily due to a $372 million charge for settlement and related costs, and expenses associated with recently acquired businesses. Adjusted operating expenses increased in the second quarter of 2022 to $370 million from $356 million in the prior year period.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was $98 million, or $1.87 loss per diluted share, compared to net income of $219 million, or $4.07 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2022 decreased to $243 million, or $4.61 per diluted share, compared to $247 million, or $4.57 per diluted share, for the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2022 decreased to $321 million, or 21.9% of adjusted net sales, compared to $325 million, or 23.6% of adjusted net sales for the second quarter of 2021 due to lower gross margin partially offset by adjusted operating expense leverage.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of July 2, 2022, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $98 million and total debt of $2,171 million.

For the first six months of 2022, the company generated $154 million of operating cash flow and made capital expenditures of $31 million, resulting in free cash flow of $123 million. The Company also acquired Matrox for $875 million, made $605 million of share repurchases under its existing authorization, and had net debt proceeds of $1,175 million.

As previously announced in the second quarter, the company refinanced its debt and expanded its liquidity with a $3.25 billion senior secured credit facility maturing May 2027. This facility includes a $1.75 billion term loan, and a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. The company has retired its $875 million term loan and $1.0 billion revolving credit facility.

Outlook

Third Quarter 2022

The company expects third quarter 2022 adjusted net sales to increase 2% to 4% compared to the third quarter of 2021. This expectation includes an approximately 2 point additive impact from recently acquired businesses, and an approximately 3 point negative impact from foreign currency translation.

Adjusted EBITDA margin for the third quarter of 2022 is expected to be approximately 22%, which includes approximately $45 million of premium supply chain costs. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $4.35 to $4.65. This assumes an adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 18%.

Full Year 2022

The Company is narrowing the range of its full year outlook for adjusted net sales growth to 4% to 6% from 2021. This expectation includes an approximately 150 basis point additive impact from recently acquired businesses, and an approximately 225 basis point negative impact from foreign currency translation. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year is expected to be approximately 22%, the low end of its previous outlook due to foreign currency headwinds. This outlook assumes approximately $200 million impact from premium supply chain costs.

Free cash flow is now expected to be at least $650 million, inclusive of the anticipated $150 million of settlement and related payments.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, the statements regarding the company’s outlook. Actual results may differ from those expressed or implied in the company’s forward-looking statements. These statements represent estimates only as of the date they were made. Zebra undertakes no obligation, other than as may be required by law, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason after the date of this release.

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions and are subject to the risks and uncertainties inherent in Zebra’s industry, market conditions, general domestic and international economic conditions, and other factors. These factors include customer acceptance of Zebra’s offerings and competitors' offerings and the potential effects of emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. The effect of global market conditions, and the availability of credit and capital markets volatility may have adverse effects on Zebra, its suppliers and its customers. In addition, natural disasters, man-made disasters, public health issues (including pandemics), and cybersecurity incidents may have negative effects on our business and results of operations. Our ability to purchase sufficient materials, parts, and components as well as our ability to provide services and software to meet customer demand could negatively impact our results of operations and customer relationships. Profits and profitability may be affected by Zebra’s ability to control manufacturing and operating costs. Because of its debt, interest rates and financial market conditions may also have an impact on results. Foreign exchange rates, customs duties and trade policies may have an effect on financial results because of the large percentage of our international sales. The impacts of changes in foreign and domestic governmental policies, regulations, or laws, as well as the outcome of litigation or tax matters in which Zebra may be involved are other factors. The success of integrating acquisitions could also affect profitability, reported results and the company’s competitive position in its industry. These and other factors could have an adverse effect on Zebra’s sales, gross profit margins and results of operations and increase the volatility of our financial results. When used in this release and documents referenced, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “outlook,” and “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to the company or its management, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying these statements. Descriptions of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could affect the company’s future operations and results can be found in Zebra’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the company’s most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

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

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

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

(1)

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