Zebra Technologies Announces First-Quarter 2020 Results

April 28, 2020

First-Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Net sales of $1,052 million; year-over-year decrease of 1.3%
  • Net income of $89 million and net income per diluted share of $1.65, year-over-year decreases of 22.6% and 22.2%, respectively
  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS decreased 8.6% year-over-year to $2.67
  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased 10.7% year-over-year to $201 million
  • $200 million of share repurchase

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 first quarter ended March 28, 2020.

"The year started off strong for Zebra, yet late in the first quarter, COVID-19 developed into a global pandemic and we experienced global supply chain disruptions, as well as weaker-than-expected demand in China. Our teams took extraordinary steps to manufacture and supply our mission-critical products to customers around the world, however, we were unable to fulfill our complete order book in the quarter. As a result, we missed our first quarter sales and profitability outlook,” said Anders Gustafsson, Chief Executive Officer of Zebra Technologies. “We entered the second quarter with a strong order backlog. That said, we are entering a recessionary global enterprise spending environment and continue to see pronounced end-market weakness in China. Our diversified end-markets and strong financial position will enable us to endure this challenging economy while we preserve investments in advancing our Enterprise Asset Intelligence vision."

Net sales were $1,052 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $1,066 million in the first quarter of 2019. The decline was primarily due to supply chain disruptions driven by COVID-19 and significantly reduced customer demand in China. Consolidated organic net sales growth for the first quarter decreased 0.8%. Net sales in the Enterprise Visibility & Mobility ("EVM") segment were $681 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared with $709 million in the first quarter of 2019. Asset Intelligence & Tracking ("AIT") segment net sales were $371 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $357 million in the prior year period. First-quarter year-over-year organic net sales decreased 2.9% in the EVM segment and increased 3.2% in the AIT segment. The supply chain disruption primarily impacted mobile computing products in the EVM segment.

First-quarter 2020 gross profit was $473 million compared to $501 million in the comparable prior year period. Gross margin decreased to 45.0% for the first quarter of 2020, compared to 47.0% in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to Section 301 List 4 tariffs (customs duties), expedited freight to mitigate COVID-19 supply chain disruption, and unfavorable business mix. Adjusted gross margin was 45.2% in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 47.2% in the prior year period.

Operating expenses decreased in the first quarter of 2020 to $322 million from $342 million in the prior year period primarily due to lower amortization expense, lower incentive compensation expense, and prudent cost management, partially offset by the inclusion of expenses from recently acquired businesses. Adjusted operating expenses decreased in the first quarter of 2020 to $292 million from $297 million in the prior year period.

Net income for the first quarter of 2020 was $89 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, compared to net income of $115 million, or $2.12 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2019. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2020 decreased to $145 million, or $2.67 per diluted share, compared to $160 million, or $2.92 per diluted share, for the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2020 decreased to $201 million, or 19.1% of adjusted net sales, compared to $225 million, or 21.1% of adjusted net sales, for the first quarter of 2019 primarily due to lower gross margin.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of March 28, 2020, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $24 million and total debt of $1,405 million.

Free cash flow was $95 million for the first three months of 2020. The company generated $108 million of operating cash flow and incurred capital expenditures of $13 million.

For the first three months of 2020, the company made payments of long-term debt of $36 million and received proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt of $157 million, resulting in $121 million net debt proceeds. The company made cash interest payments of $9 million in the first quarter as compared to $16 million in the prior year period. Additionally, the company made $200 million of share repurchases in the first quarter under its existing share repurchase authorization.

Outlook

Second Quarter 2020

The company expects second-quarter 2020 net sales to decrease approximately 11% to 17% from the second quarter of 2019 due to an anticipated recessionary global environment from COVID-19. This expectation includes an approximately 50 basis point additive impact from recently acquired businesses, and an approximately 1 percentage point negative impact from foreign currency translation.

Adjusted EBITDA margin for the second quarter of 2020 is expected to be approximately 18% to 19%, which includes approximately $5 million net incremental cost of sales attributable to tariffs, and approximately $9 million of expenses (primarily expedited freight) to mitigate COVID-19 disruption. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $2.10 to $2.50. This assumes an adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 16%.

Full-Year 2020

Given the extremely low visibility of COVID-19 impacts beyond the second quarter, the company is withdrawing its prior full-year 2020 financial outlook. The company expects net sales, adjusted EBITDA margin, and free cash flow to be lower than last year, which we are addressing through cost actions to enhance profitability and cash flow.

As previously stated, the company is diversifying the sourcing of most of its U.S. volumes out of China. Through the first nine months of 2020, these actions are expected to result in approximately $20 million of one-time pre-tax charges plus approximately $10 million of capital expenditures. This project is expected to be substantially complete by mid-2020 despite disruption from COVID-19 in southeast Asia.

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.
