It replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, whichwill result in more timely recognition of credit losses. With respect to the Company’s financial assets, including trade receivables and contract assets, a cumulative effect transition approach was applied. In order to determine the transition impact of ASU 2016-13, the Company considered historical loss experience, the short duration of its trade receivables and durations of other financial assets, and expectations of the future economic environment.  The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a significant impact to the Company’s financial statements upon transition or for the six months ended June 27, 2020.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASUAccounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). Subject to meeting certain criteria, ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions to applying contract modification accounting under existing generally accepted accounting principles for contracts that are modified to address the expected phase out of the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) by the end of 2021.. Some of the Company’s contracts with respect to its borrowings and interest rate swap contracts already contain comparable alternative reference rates that would automatically take effect upon the phasing out of LIBOR, while for others, the Company anticipates negotiating comparable replacement rates with its counterparties. At this stage of its contract assessment, the Company does not expect ASU 2020-04 to have a material impact toon its financial statements.results.

Note 7 Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as 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. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into the following three broad levels:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs (e.g. U.S. Treasuries and money market funds).
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted onin 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, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs to the extent possible. In addition, the Company considers counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of June 27, 2020,April 3, 2021, are classified below (in millions):

a.Table of Contents
Fair value of regular forward contracts associated with forecasted sales hedges is calculated using the period-end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points.
b.Fair value of hedges against net assets is calculated at the period-end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points unless the hedge has been traded but not settled at periodyear end (Level 2). If this is the case, the fair value is calculated at the rate at which the hedge is being settled (Level 1).
(2)The fair value of forward interest rate swaps is based upon a valuation model that uses relevant observable market inputs at the quoted intervals, such as forward yield curves, and is adjusted for the Company’s credit risk and the interest rate swap terms.

Note 8 Derivative Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to global market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to such risks and may elect to designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The Company formally documents all relationships between designated hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking hedge transactions. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
In accordance with ASC 815, the Company recognizes derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures them at fair value. The following table presents the fair value of its derivative instruments (in millions):

Activities related to derivative instruments are reflected within Net cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Credit and Market Risk Management
Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose the Company to counterparty credit risk of nonperformance and to market risk related to currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations. The Company manages its exposure to counterparty credit risk by establishing minimum credit standards, diversifying its counterparties, and monitoring its concentrations of credit. The Company’s counterparties are commercial banks with expertise in derivative financial instruments. The Company evaluates the impact of market risk on the fair value and cash flows of its derivative and other financial instruments by considering reasonably possible changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. The Company continually monitors the creditworthiness of the customers to which it grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The terms and conditions of the Company’s credit policies are designed to mitigate concentrations of credit risk.

The Company’s master netting and other similar arrangements with the respective counterparties allow for net settlement under certain conditions, which are designed to reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement with the same counterparty. We present the assets and liabilities of our derivative financial instruments, for which we have net settlement agreements in place, on a net basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. If the derivative financial instruments had been presented gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the asset and liability positions each would have been increased by $2 million and $3$5 million as of June 27, 2020April 3, 2021 and would have been unchanged as of December 31, 2019, respectively.2020.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Management
The Company conducts business on a multinational basis in a variety of foreign currencies. Exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises primarily from Euro-denominated external revenues, cross-border financing activities between subsidiaries, and foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The Company manages its objective of preserving the economic value of non-functional currency denominated cash flows by initially hedging transaction exposures

with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through foreign exchange forward and option contracts, as deemed appropriate.

The Company manages the exchange rate risk of anticipated Euro-denominated sales using forward contracts, which typically mature within twelve months of execution. The Company designates these derivative contracts as cash flow hedges. Unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets until the contract is settled and the hedged sale is realized. The realized gain or loss is then recorded as an adjustment to Net sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Realized gainsamounts reclassified to Net sales were $6$12 million of losses and $11$8 million of gains for the three months ended June 27,April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020, and June 29, 2019, respectively. For the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, realized gains were $14 million and $22 million, respectively. As of June 27, 2020April 3, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the notional amounts of the Company’s foreign exchange cash flow hedges were €492€565 million and €564€585 million, respectively. The Company has reviewed its cash flow hedges for effectiveness and determined that they are highly effective.

The Company uses forward contracts, which are not designated as hedging instruments, to manage its exposures related to net assets denominated in foreign currencies. These forward contracts typically mature within one month after execution. Monetary gains and losses on these forward contracts are recorded in income and are generally offset by the transaction gains and losses related to their net asset positions.

Interest Rate Risk Management
12

Table of Contents
The Company’s debt consists of borrowings under a term loan (“Term Loan A”), Revolving Credit Facility, and Receivables Financing Facilities, which bear interest at variable rates plus applicable margins. As a result, the Company is exposed to market risk associated with the variable interest rate payments on these borrowings. See Note 9, Long-Term Debt for further details about these borrowings.

The Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by utilizing interest rate swaps to hedge this exposure and to achieve a desired proportion of fixed versus floating-rate debt, based on current and projected market conditions.

In December 2017, the Company entered into a long-term forward interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $800 million to lock into a fixed LIBOR interest rate base for its debt facilities subject to monthly interest payments. Under the terms of the agreement, $800 million in variable-rate debt will be swapped for a fixed interest rate with net settlement terms starting in December 2018 and ending in December 2022. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company entered into additional long-term forward interest rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $800 million, containing net settlement terms, startingwhich start in December 2022 and endingend in August 2024. The additional interest rate swap agreements effectively extend the risk management initiative of the Company to coincide with the maturities of Term Loan A and the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company’s activeThese interest rate swaps are not designated as hedges and changes in fair value are recognized immediately as Interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Contingencies
The Company is 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. The Company currently believes that the outcomes of such proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its business, cash flows, financial position, or results of operations. Any legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and the Company’s view of these matters and their potential effects may change in the future.

In 2020, the Company received approval of its exclusion request of customs duties that had been paid on certain products under Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Act of 1974 from September 1, 2019 through September 1, 2020 and commenced a process to request recovery of previously assessed amounts. Recoveries are recognized when the Company has completed all regulatory filing requirements and determined that receipt of amounts is virtually certain. Recoveries totaling $12 million were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020, of which $4 million related to our AIT segment and $8 million related to our EVM segment. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company recorded additional recoveries of $3 million. The recoveries in the first quarter of 2021 attributable to the AIT and EVM segments were $1 million and $2 million, respectively. Both the initially incurred costs and related recoveries were included within Cost of sales for Tangible products on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company establishes an accrued liability for loss contingencies whenbelieves that additional import duties that were previously paid are potentially recoverable; however, the loss is both probablefinal amounts and estimable.the timings of any such additional recoveries remain uncertain and, therefore, the Company has not recorded any amounts related to potential future recoveries in its financial statements as of April 3, 2021.

Note 11 Share-Based Compensation

On May 17, 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved the Zebra Technologies 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan superseded and replaced the Zebra Technologies Corporation 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”) on the approval date, except that the 2015 Plan remains in effect with respect to outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan until such awards have been exercised, forfeited, expired or otherwise terminated in accordance with their terms. Together, the 2018 Plan and 2015 Plan provide for incentive compensation to the Company’s non-employee directors, officers and employees. The awards available under the plans include stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance share awards, cash-settled stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, performance stock units, incentive stock options, and non-qualified stock options.

The Company uses outstanding treasury shares as its source for issuing shares under the share-based compensation programs.

A summary of the equity awards available for future grants under the 2018 Plan is as follows:

As of June 27, 2020, total unearned compensation costs related to the Company’s share-based compensation plans was $87 million, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining service period of 2.1 years.

Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”)
Upon exercise of SARs, the Company issues whole shares of Class A Common Stock to participants based on the difference between the fair market value of the stock at the time of exercise and the exercise price. Fractional shares are settled in cash upon exercise. The grant date fair value of SARs is expensed over the 4-year vesting period of the related awards.

A summary of the Company’s SARs for the six months ended June 27, 2020 is as follows:

Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”) and Performance Share Awards (“PSAs”)
The Company’s restricted stock grants consist of time-vested RSAs and PSAs, which hold voting rights and therefore are considered participating securities. The outstanding RSAs and PSAs are included as part of the Company’s Class A Common Stock outstanding. The RSAs and PSAs vest at each vesting date, subject to restrictions such as continuous employment, except in certain cases as set forth in each stock agreement. Upon vesting, RSAs and PSAs are released to holders and are no longer subject to restrictions. The Company’s RSAs and PSAs are expensed over the vesting period of the related award, which is typically 3 years. Some awards, including those granted annually to non-employee directors as an equity retainer fee, vest upon grant. PSA targets are set based on certain Company-wide financial metrics. Compensation cost is calculated as the market date fair value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on grant date multiplied by the number of shares granted, net of estimated forfeitures.

The Company also issues stock awards to non-employee directors. Each director receives an equity grant of shares annually in the second quarter. The number of shares granted to each director is determined by dividing the value of the annual grant by the price of a share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. During the first six months of 2020, there were 6,314 shares granted to non-employee directors compared to 7,371 shares during the first six months of 2019. The shares vest immediately on the grant date.

Other Award Types
The Company also has cash-settled compensation awards, including cash-settled stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, and performance stock units, which are expensed over the vesting period of the related award of up to 4 years. Compensation cost is calculated at the fair value on grant date multiplied by the number of share-equivalents granted, and the fair value is remeasured at the end of each reporting period based on the Company’s stock price. Cash settlement is based on the fair value of share equivalents at the time of vesting, which was $5 million and $6 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively. Share-equivalents granted under these programs totaled 16,194 and 17,207 during the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On May 14, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the Zebra Technologies Corporation 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2020 ESPP”), which supersedes the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2011 ESPP”) and became effective on July 1, 2020. Like the 2011 ESPP, the 2020 ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase common stock at 95% of the fair market value at the date of purchase. Employees may make purchases by cash or payroll deductions up to certain limits. The aggregate number of shares that may be purchased under the 2020 ESPP is 1,500,000 shares.

Note 12 Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 27,April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020 were 2.9%was 17.4% and 8.3%13.6%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019 were 3.9% and 8.1%, respectively. In both the current and prior year periods, the variance from the 21% federal statutory rate in each period was attributable to the benefits of share-based compensation deductions, lower tax rates on foreign earnings and U.S. tax credits. These benefits were partially offset by the impacts of foreign earnings taxed in the U.S. and deemed royalties taxed in the U.S. The Company’s effective tax rate also benefited from certain discrete items, primarily related to share-based compensation.

On March 27, 2020,The Company is continually monitoring the Presidentprovisions of the United StatesAmerican Rescue Plan Act, signed into tax law on March 11, 2021; the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, signed into law on December 27, 2020; and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, (“CARES Act”).signed into law on March 27, 2020. The Company doesprovisions of these laws did not believe any of the provisions will materiallyhave a significant impact its 2020to our effective tax rate.rate in either the current or prior year. Management continues to monitor guidance regarding these laws and developments and guidance on the CARES Act andrelated to other coronavirus (“COVID-19”) tax relief throughout the world for potential impacts.

The Company earns a significant amount of its operating income outside of the U.S. Pre-tax earnings outsidethat is taxed at rates different than the U.S. federal statutory rate. The Company’s principal foreign jurisdictions that provide sources of operating income are primarily generated in the United Kingdom Singapore, and Luxembourg, with statutory rates of 19%, 17%, and 25%, respectively.Singapore. The Company has received an incentivized tax rate by the Singapore Economic Development Board, which reduces the income tax rate to 10.5% from the statutory rate of 17%, and isin that jurisdiction effective for calendar years 2019 to 2023. The Company has committed to making additional investments in Singapore over the period 2019 to 2022. However, should the Company not make these investments in accordance with the agreement, any incentive benefit would have to be repaid to the Singapore tax authorities.

The Company is not permanently reinvested with respect to its U.S. directly-owned foreign subsidiaries. For periods after 2017, theThe Company is subject to U.S. income tax on substantially all foreign earnings under the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) enacted in December 2017,, while any remaining foreign earnings are eligible for a dividends received deduction under the Act. As a result, future repatriationsrepatriation of earnings will no longer be subject to U.S. income tax but may be subject to currency translation gains or losses. Where required, the Company has recorded a deferred tax liability for foreign withholding taxes on current earnings. Additionally, gains and losses on any future taxable dispositions of U.S.-owned foreign affiliates continue to be subject to U.S. income tax.

Management evaluates all jurisdictions based on historical pre-tax earnings and taxable income to determine the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis. Based on this analysis, a valuation allowance has been recorded for any jurisdictions where, in the Company’s judgment, tax benefits are not expected to be realized. There was no change to our valuation allowance for the three months ended April 3, 2021.

Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company is currently undergoing U.S. federal income tax audits for the tax years 20162017 and 2017. The Company expects the U.S. federal income tax audit for tax year 2016 to close in the third quarter of 2020, which is expected to have an immaterial impact to the financial statements. The Company was also notified that the U.S. federal income tax audit for tax year 2018 will commence in the third quarter of 2020.2018. Additionally, fiscal years 2004 through 2018 remain open to examination by multiple foreign and U.S. state taxing jurisdictions. As of June 27, 2020,April 3, 2021, no significant uncertain tax positions are expected to be settled within the next twelve months. Due to uncertainties in any tax audit or litigation outcome, the Company’s estimates of the ultimate settlements of uncertain tax positions may change and the actual tax benefits may differ significantly from estimates.

Note 1312 Earnings Per Share

Basic net earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares assuming dilution. Dilutive common shares outstanding is computed using the Treasury Stock method and, in periods of income, reflects the additional shares that would be outstanding if dilutive stock options were exercised for common shares during the period.

Note 1413 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Stockholders’ equity includes certain items classified as AOCI, including:

Unrealized gain (loss) gain on anticipated sales hedging transactions relates to derivative instruments used to hedge the exposure related to currency exchange rates for forecasted Euro sales. These hedges are designated as cash flow hedges, and the Company defers income statement recognition of gains and losses until the hedged transaction occurs.See Note 8, Derivative Instruments for more details.

Unrealized loss on forward interest rate swaps hedging transactions relates to certain interest rate swaps that the Company previously entered into as part of its strategy to mitigate interest rate risk exposure associated with its variable rate debt. These particular interest rate swaps, which were designated as cash flow hedges, were terminated prior to 2019, with remaining losses being reclassified out of AOCI through the third quarter of 2019. Pre-tax losses were reclassified into Interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Foreign currency translation adjustmentsrelate to the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiary companies that have designated a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar. The Company is required to translate the subsidiary functional currency financial statements to U.S. 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 AOCI.

The components of AOCI for the sixthree months ended June 27,April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020 and June 29, 2019 are as follows (in millions):

Note 1514 Accounts Receivable Factoring

The Company has multiple Receivables Factoring arrangements, pursuant to which certain receivables are sold to banks without recourse in exchange for cash. Transactions under the Receivables Factoring arrangements are accounted for as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets, with the sold receivables removed from the Company’s balance sheet. Under these Receivables Factoring arrangements, the Company does not maintain any beneficial interest in the receivables sold. The banks’ purchase of eligible receivables is subject to a maximum amount of uncollected receivables. The Company services the receivables on behalf of the banks, but otherwise maintains no significant continuing involvement with respect to the receivables. Sale proceeds that are representative of the fair value of factored receivables, less a factoring fee, are reflected in Net cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, while sale proceeds in excess of the fair value of factored receivables are reflected in Net cash provided byused in financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In May 2020, the Company entered into a new Receivables Factoring arrangement with a bank, which allows for the factoring of up to €150 million of uncollected receivables originated from the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions. The Company is required to maintain a portion of sales proceeds as deposits in a restricted cash account that is released to the Company as it satisfies its obligations as servicer of sold receivables, which totaled $23$33 million and $24 million as of June 27,April 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and is classified within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s other active Receivable Factoring arrangements, which were entered into prior to 2020, also allow for the factoring of up to $125 million of uncollected receivables originated from the EMEA region.

During the sixthree months ended June 27,April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020, and June 29, 2019, the Company received cash proceeds of $508$413 million and $143$162 million, respectively, from the sales of accounts receivables under its factoring arrangements. As of June 27, 2020April 3, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, there were a total of $103$77 million and $60$70 million, respectively, of uncollected receivables that had been sold and removed from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As servicer of sold receivables, the Company had $88$123 million and $33$142 million of obligations that were not yet remitted to banks as of June 27, 2020April 3, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. These obligations are included within Accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in such obligations reflected within Net cash (used in) provided byused in financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Fees incurred in connection with these arrangements were not significant.

Note 16 Segment Information & Geographic Data
The Company’s operations consist of 2 reportable segments: Asset Intelligence & Tracking (“AIT”) and Enterprise Visibility & Mobility (“EVM”). The reportable segments have been identified based on the financial data utilized by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the chief operating decision maker or “CODM”) to assess segment performance and allocate resources among the Company’s segments. The CODM reviews adjusted operating income to assess segment profitability. To the extent applicable, segment operating income excludes business acquisition purchase accounting adjustments, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition and integration costs, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, exit and restructuring costs, and product sourcing diversification costs. Segment assets are not reviewed by the Company’s CODM and therefore are not disclosed below.

Effective January 1, 2021, we moved our retail solutions offering from our AIT segment into our EVM segment contemporaneous with a change in our organizational structure and management of the business. Prior period results have been revised to conform to the current segment presentation. This change does not have an impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Developments

COVID-19 Outbreak
In December 2019, a strain of theThe coronavirus (“COVID-19”or the “pandemic” ) surfacedhas spread across the globe, with various measures, such as travel restrictions and cancellations or limitations of in-person gatherings, remaining in Wuhan, China. During the latter part of the first quarter of 2020, COVID-19 spread rapidly across nearly every region of the world and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organizationeffect to certain degrees in March 2020. In response, there have been a broad number of governmental and commercial impacts, including business slowdowns or shutdowns and significant travel restrictions. These events have resulted in significant declines in both global economic activity and significant volatility in financial market valuations, the duration of which is not reasonably estimable.

Many of our supply chain partners in China, who temporarily suspended or modified their business operations beginning in January 2020, have since resumed operations. The spread of COVID-19 has resulted in broad global business disruption, which impacted both our supply chain activities and customer demand.several jurisdictions. We serve a diverse mix of customers. Somecustomers; some of our customerswhich, have experienced significant declines or suspensions toof their operations, whereas others have experienced increases in their business volume. While the ultimate duration of the pandemic and timing of recovery in each region remains highly uncertain, the Company expects 2021 sales and profitability to benefit from pent-up demand from customers who we believe had delayed purchases in 2020 due to the pandemic, as well as the resulting acceleration of the underlying trend to digitize and automate workflows. The negative impacts from the pandemic, including declines in customer demand and supply chain disruptions, were most pronounced in the first half of 2020 and lessened later in 2020 as the global economic recovery took shape. We have continued to mitigate the impacts of supply chain disruptions by taking exceptional actions, including alternative modes of product delivery and fulfillment, as well as providing protective equipment for our front-line employees.

Thus far in 2021, the level of demand for certain product components has resulted in lengthened lead times and higher input costs. We are currently taking steps to mitigate these impacts; however, they could become more significant. These impacts may include the potential for product shortages which could negatively impact our ability to meet forecasted customer demand

should suppliers of necessary parts no longer be able to provide such parts or sufficiently allocate supply among their customers, including the Company.

The federal, state, and local governments as well as foreign governments, to varying degrees, have imposed, and continue to impose, several protocols and regulations restricting the physical movement or other activities of individuals in an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19. We have implemented a number of measures in an effort to protect our employees’ health and well-being, including having the majority of office workers work remotely, limiting employee travel, and withdrawing from in-person industry events. In addition, as governments begincontinue to ease their restrictions and we begincontinue to allow our employees to come back to work in our offices in a phasedcontrolled approach, we will modifyhave modified our business practices, including implementing social distancing protocols, office capacity restrictions, health screening, provision of personal protective equipment, tracking and tracing protocols, and extensively and frequently disinfecting our workspaces. DistributionThroughout the pandemic, distribution centers and repair centers have remained open at varying capacity levels to ensure continued support to our customers, many of whom provide essential goods and services to communities.

During the first half of 2020, weWe have been mitigating the impact of supply chain disruptions by taking exceptional actions, including alternative modes of product delivery and fulfillment, as well as providing protective equipment and hazard pay premiums for our front-line employees. Net sales have been negatively impacted by the direct and indirect effects of the pandemic.

During the first and second quarters of 2020, we considered the potential impacts of the global pandemic in qualitative impairment assessments of our long-lived assets, including goodwill and intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and right-of-use lease assets. We have concluded that it is not more likely than not that any of our long-lived assets are impaired.impaired during the current and prior year period. Our analysis considered, among other factors:

the nature of our products, solutions, and services as well as our position within our industry;
our highly variable cost structure;
the assumption that the impact ofnegative impacts from COVID-19 will be temporary; and that
the Company will continue generating strong positive operating cash flows over the long-term.

We have also considered the adequacy of our capital resources, inclusive of available borrowing capacity on debt and other financing facilities; the results of our most recent quantitative goodwill impairment assessment, as disclosedwhich was last completed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019;fourth quarter of 2020; and that our market capitalization, as of the end of the second quarter stillwhich has continued to far exceededexceed total net assets. Finally, while we may experience ana temporary increase in working capital levels, at this time, we do not anticipate a material impact to the realizability of current assets, such as accounts receivable or inventories, at this time.inventories.

The situation related to the pandemic and recovery from the pandemic continues to be complex and rapidly evolving. ThereCertain vaccines have been authorized by major regulatory bodies to help fight the infection of COVID-19, and certain other vaccines are in the late stages of development to provide such treatment. While it is anticipated in the ensuing months that authorized vaccines will become more widely available to the public, vaccine availability remains limited in certain regions and the timeline to sufficiently mitigate the effects of the pandemic through vaccines or other measures remains uncertain. If COVID-19 persists or worsens before vaccines or other treatments are made widely available, there may be further external developments, such as restrictions imposed by government authorities or guidance issued by public health authorities, that are beyond our control and may impact our operating plans. Parts of our business are experiencinghave experienced, and may continue to experience, operational disruption and customer demand impacts. We cannot reasonably estimateSince the durationonset of the pandemic, or fully ascertain its impact to our 2020 operating results or cash flows. We currently expect that full year net sales, net income and operating cash flow will be lower than 2019 and we are takinghave taken certain cost reduction actions to mitigate the impact to profitability and cash flow. Currently, we are unable to reasonably estimate the duration of the pandemic or fully ascertain its long-term impact to our business.

Product Sourcing Diversification InitiativeReflexis Acquisition
The Company commenced efforts in 2019 to diversify its product sourcing footprint to include sourcing products from Taiwan, Vietnam, and Malaysia, thereby reducing its reliance on Chinese-based manufacturing and the impacts of related customs duties (“tariffs”) on U.S imports from China.  In conjunction with this initiative,On September 1, 2020, the Company has incurred total one-time costs of $13 million, including $3 million and $8 million during the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively, which are primarily reflected within Operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company also made $6 million of incremental equipment purchases during the six months ended June 27, 2020. The Company anticipates incurring additional one-time operating costs of up to $12 million, as well as making additional equipment purchases of up to $4 million in fiscal year 2020. We have substantially completed the primary actions of this initiative and have already begun sourcing some products from these alternative locations. We expect these actions, along with certain U.S. pricing actions, to substantially mitigate the ongoing financial impacts of Chinese tariffs by the end of the third quarter 2020.

Restructuring Programs
In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company committed to certain organizational changes designed to generate operational efficiencies (collectively referred to as the “2019 Productivity Plan”).  The organizational design changes under the 2019 Productivity Plan will principally occur within the North America and EMEA regions, relate primarily to employee severance and related benefits, and are expected to be substantially completed in fiscal 2020.  Exit and restructuring charges for the 2019 Productivity Plan were $2 million and $6 million during the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively, and $14 million cumulatively through the quarter ended June 27, 2020. Estimated remaining costs to be incurred in fiscal 2020 under the 2019 Productivity Plan are expected to be up to $4 million. See Note 6, Exit and Restructuring Costs in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Acquisition
On July 27, 2020, Zebra entered into a definitive agreement under which Zebra agreed to acquireacquired Reflexis Systems, Inc. The aggregate consideration(“Reflexis”), a provider of the transaction is expected to be approximately $575 million, subject to customary adjustments. Zebra expects to fund the transaction with a combination of cash on hand along with fully committed financing available under its Revolving Credit Facility. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditionstask and is expected to close by earlyworkforce management, execution, and communication solutions for customers in the fourth quarterretail, food service, hospitality, and banking industries.Through this acquisition, the Company intends to enhance its solutions offerings to customers in these industries by
combining Reflexis’ platform with its existing software solutions and product offerings, further empowering front line workers to execute the next best action using real time data. The operating results of 2020. The acquired business will become part ofReflexis are included within the EVM segment.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which did not have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to the Company’s adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary factors that influence our liquidity include the amount and timing of our revenues, cash collections from our customers, cash payments to our suppliers, capital expenditures, repatriation of foreign cash, and investments, acquisitions, and share repurchases. While the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are expected to have a negative impact on operating cash flows, partially mitigated by participation in government payment deferral programs, total year operating cash flows are still expected to remain positive based on management’s current business plans and operational expectations. Management believes that our existing capital resources, inclusive of available borrowing capacity on debt and other financing facilities and funds generated from operations, are sufficient to meet anticipated capital requirements and service our indebtedness.

Table of Contents
Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures or the internal controls 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 the Company 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.

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 the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, and the factors identified under “Safe Harbor” at the end ofin Part I, Item 2 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 the Annual Report are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently considers immaterial also may materially adversely affect its business, financial condition, and/or operating results. There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2019, other than as described below.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have and may continue to adversely affect our business, financial results, and results of operations. In December 2019, a strain of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced in Wuhan, China, and over the course of the first quarter 2020, the World Health Organization escalated its assessment of the COVID-19 threat, finally characterizing it as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. The situation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, with a broad number of governmental and commercial efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 globally. In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted our business, primarily related to lower customer demand and higher fulfillment costs. The duration and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations and financial results depends on factors that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as the severity and transmission rate of COVID-19, the extent and effectiveness of containment actions, the likelihood of a resurgence of COVID-19, and the impact of these and other factors on our employees, customers, industry partners, suppliers and third party dealers, distributors, and resellers.

The federal, state, and local governments as well as foreign governments have imposed several protocols and regulations restricting the physical movement of individuals in an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19. We have implemented a number of measures in an effort to protect our employees’ health and well-being, including having office workers work remotely, limiting employee travel, and withdrawing from industry events. In addition, as governments begin to ease their restrictions and we begin to allow our employees to come back to work in our offices in a phased approach, we will modify our business practices, including implementing social distancing protocols, office capacity restrictions, health screening, provision of personal protective equipment, tracking and tracing protocols, and extensively and frequently disinfecting our workspaces. However, there is no guarantee that such protocols will be successful in preventing the spread of COVID-19 amongst our employees. As a result of concerns over the pandemic, we have experienced higher than normal employee absentee rates for employees who are unable to work from home, and even as employees return to our offices, we may be prevented from conducting business activities at full capacity for an indefinite period of time. The potential negative effects to our operations, including reductions in production levels, research and development activities, and increased costs resulting from our efforts to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, may adversely affect our ability to provide our services and solutions.

Similarly, many of our suppliers, customers, distributors, and resellers have temporarily suspended or modified their business operations as a result of the continued spread of the COVID-19. We have experienced disruptions and delays in our supply chain and such disruptions and delays may resume or worsen, which could decrease our sales, earnings and liquidity or otherwise adversely affect our business and result in increased costs. In addition, we have also experienced, and may continue to experience, unpredictable reductions or increases in demand for certain of our products. Moreover, existing travel restrictions, prolonged quarantines and other government orders have, and may continue to, significantly impact our ability to support our sites and service customers in impacted locations. Our customers, distributors, and resellers may be limited in their abilities to make timely payments or they may seek to suspend or terminate existing agreements, and prospective customers may experience delays in their purchasing decisions. A decrease in demand or pricing for our products could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, the continued spread of COVID-19 has led to disruption and volatility in the worldwide credit and financial markets, which could limit our ability to obtain external financing and result in a higher rate of losses on our accounts receivables due to credit defaults, adversely affecting our liquidity. While the COVID-19 pandemic has not materially impacted our liquidity and capital resources to date, the duration and severity of any further economic or market impact of the pandemic remains uncertain and there can be no assurance that it will not have an adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources, including our ability to access capital markets, in the future.

Certain known consequences from the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations are disclosed in the financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q and under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.” If COVID-19 becomes more prevalent in the locations where our customers, suppliers, or we conduct business, we may experience more pronounced disruptions in our operations. If we are not able to respond to and manage the impact of such events effectively, our business and results of operations in future periods may be adversely affected. Moreover, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may exacerbate other pre-existing risks, such as global economic conditions, political, regulatory, social, financial, operational and cybersecurity as well as similar risks relating to our suppliers and customers, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
