Zebra Technologies Announces Second-Quarter 2020 Results

Second-Quarter Financial Highlights

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 June 27, 2020.

"In Q2 our teams remained agile and executed very well through the global pandemic. It has been inspiring for me to see our employees rally to keep the business, and each other, moving forward. We delivered on our customer commitments and achieved sales and EPS above the midpoint of our outlook. Although freight costs were higher than expected, we thoughtfully managed discretionary costs across the company to preserve profitability and cash flow,” said Anders Gustafsson, Chief Executive Officer of Zebra Technologies. “We entered Q3 with a solid order backlog and encouraging pipeline of large orders. With that said, we have clearly been in a recessionary enterprise spending environment which is having a disproportionate impact on smaller customers. We believe our sales bottomed in Q2 and second half trends will improve. We continue to be very optimistic regarding our longer-term prospects as secular trends to digitize and automate workflows accelerate as a result of the pandemic."

Net sales were $956 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $1,097 million in the second quarter of 2019. The decline was primarily due to recessionary global environment driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Consolidated organic net sales growth for the second quarter decreased 12.0%. Net sales in the Enterprise Visibility & Mobility ("EVM") segment were $681 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared with $727 million in the second quarter of 2019. Asset Intelligence & Tracking ("AIT") segment net sales were $275 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $370 million in the prior year period. Second-quarter year-over-year organic net sales decreased by 5.4% in the EVM segment and 24.9% in the AIT segment.

Second-quarter 2020 gross profit was $419 million compared to $520 million in the comparable prior year period. Gross margin decreased to 43.8% for the second quarter of 2020, compared to 47.4% in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to unfavorable business mix, especially deal size, $19 million of transitory costs including premium freight and other COVID-19 mitigation expenses, Chinese import tariffs and product sourcing diversification charges; all of which was partially offset by productivity gains within our service and software offerings. Adjusted gross margin was 44.1% in the second quarter of 2020, compared to 47.7% in the prior year period.

Operating expenses decreased in the second quarter of 2020 to $300 million from $360 million in the prior year period primarily due to lower discretionary spending, lower employee compensation costs primarily due to lower incentive-based compensation expense as well as temporary salary reductions that began late in the second quarter, and lower intangible asset amortization expense; partially offset by the inclusion of operating expenses associated with business acquisitions, costs associated with COVID-19 as well as the company's product sourcing diversification initiative. Adjusted operating expenses decreased in the second quarter of 2020 to $264 million from $308 million in the prior year period.

Net income for the second quarter of 2020 was $100 million, or $1.85 per diluted share, compared to net income of $124 million, or $2.26 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2020 decreased to $130 million, or $2.41 per diluted share, compared to $165 million, or $3.02 per diluted share, for the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2020 decreased to $175 million, or 18.3% of adjusted net sales, compared to $233 million, or 21.2% of adjusted net sales, for the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to lower gross margin.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of June 27, 2020, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $63 million and total debt of $1,227 million.

For the first six months of 2020, the company generated $355 million of operating cash flow and incurred capital expenditures of $33 million, resulting in free cash flow of $322 million. The company also made $32 million of long-term investments, including a $31 million venture fund investment in the second quarter.

For the first six months of 2020, the company made payments of long-term debt of $84 million and received proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt of $24 million, resulting in $60 million net debt payments. The company made cash interest payments of $19 million in the first six months compared to $33 million in the prior year period. Additionally, the company made $200 million of share repurchases in the first six months under its existing share repurchase authorization (no share repurchases in the second quarter).

Outlook

Third Quarter 2020

The company expects third-quarter 2020 net sales to decrease approximately 3% to 7% from the third quarter of 2019 due to the continued recessionary global environment from COVID-19. This expectation includes an approximately 50 basis point negative impact from foreign currency translation.

Adjusted EBITDA margin for the third quarter of 2020 is expected to be approximately 19%, which includes approximately $9 million of premium freight expense. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $2.65 to $2.95. This assumes an adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 16%.

Full-Year 2020

The company continues to expect net sales, adjusted EBITDA margin, and free cash flow to be lower than last year, which we have been addressing through cost actions to protect profitability and cash flow. The company expects to see an improvement in sales trends in the second half of the year.

The company has substantially completed its initiative to diversify the sourcing of its U.S. volumes out of China, despite modest delays from COVID-19 in southeast Asia. In 2020, these actions are expected to result in up to $20 million of one-time pre-tax charges plus up to $10 million of capital expenditures.

The outlook amounts provided above do not include any projected results from the proposed acquisition of Reflexis Systems, Inc., which is expected to close by early in the fourth quarter of 2020.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

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

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions and are subject to the risks and uncertainties inherent in Zebra’s industry, market conditions, general domestic and international economic conditions, and other factors. These factors include customer acceptance of Zebra’s hardware and software products and competitors’ product offerings, and the potential effects of technological changes. The continued uncertainty over future global economic conditions, the availability of credit and capital markets volatility may have adverse effects on Zebra, its suppliers and its customers. In addition, a disruption in our ability to obtain products from vendors as a result of supply chain constraints, natural disasters, public health issues (including pandemics), or other circumstances could restrict sales and negatively affect customer relationships. Profits and profitability will be affected by Zebra’s ability to control manufacturing and operating costs. Because of its debt, interest rates and financial market conditions will also have an impact on results. Foreign exchange rates will have an effect on financial results because of the large percentage of our international sales. The outcome of litigation in which Zebra may be involved is another factor. The success of integrating acquisitions could also affect profitability, reported results and the company’s competitive position in its industry. These and other factors could have an adverse effect on Zebra’s sales, gross profit margins and results of operations and increase the volatility of our financial results. When used in this release and documents referenced, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “outlook,” and “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to the company or its management, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying these statements. Descriptions of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could affect the company’s future operations and results can be found in Zebra’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the company’s most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

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

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

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

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.
