Zebra Technologies Announces First-Quarter 2022 Results

First-Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Net sales of $1,432 million; year-over-year increase of 6.3%
  • Net income of $205 million and net income per diluted share of $3.83, year-over-year decreases of 10.1% and 9.2%, respectively
  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS decreased 16.3% year-over-year to $4.01
  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased 16.4% year-over-year to $285 million

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.--()--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 April 2, 2022.

"Our team delivered solid first quarter results, executing well in a challenging macro environment. Sales and earnings exceeded the high end of our guidance ranges, despite supply chain costs that were higher than our expectations,”​ said Anders Gustafsson, Chief Executive Officer of Zebra Technologies. “Despite global macro headwinds, we are reiterating our full-year 2022 sales outlook given our strong order backlog and robust pipeline. Due to increased premium freight and supply chain costs from global pressures since our prior outlook, we are lowering our full-year 2022 adjusted EBITDA margin guide. We continue to invest in our vibrant business and are excited about our proposed acquisition of Matrox Imaging which will create a comprehensive portfolio of machine vision solutions to address the increased needs of manufacturers.”​

Net sales were $1,432 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $1,347 million in the first quarter of 2021. Net sales in the Enterprise Visibility & Mobility ("EVM") segment were $1,038 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared with $921 million in the first quarter of 2021. Asset Intelligence & Tracking ("AIT") segment net sales were $394 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $429 million in the prior year period. Consolidated organic net sales for the first quarter increased 5.4%. First-quarter year-over-year organic net sales increased by 11.6% in the EVM segment and decreased by 8.1% in the AIT segment.

First quarter 2022 gross profit was $637 million compared to $655 million in the prior year period. Gross margin decreased to 44.5% for the first quarter of 2022 compared to 48.6% in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to increased premium freight and component part costs, as well as unfavorable business mix. These decreases were partially offset by higher service and software margin. Adjusted gross margin was 44.6% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 48.9% in the prior year period.

Operating expenses increased in the first quarter of 2022 to $425 million from $383 million in the prior year period, primarily due to recently acquired businesses, as well as increased marketing program activities and employee travel as in-person activities resumed. Adjusted operating expenses increased in the first quarter of 2022 to $372 million from $337 million in the prior year period.

Net income for the first quarter of 2022 was $205 million, or $3.83 per diluted share, compared to net income of $228 million, or $4.22 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2022 decreased to $214 million, or $4.01 per diluted share, compared to $258 million, or $4.79 per diluted share, for the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2022 decreased to $285 million, or 19.9% of adjusted net sales, compared to $341 million, or 25.3% of adjusted net sales for the first quarter of 2021 due to lower gross profit and higher operating expenses as a percentage of sales.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of April 2, 2022, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $141 million and total debt of $1,101 million.

For the first three months of 2022, the company generated $54 million of operating cash flow and made capital expenditures of $14 million, resulting in free cash flow of $40 million. The company made $5 million in venture investments. In addition, the company made $305 million of share repurchases under its existing authorization and had net debt borrowings of $105 million.

Outlook

Second Quarter 2022

The company expects second quarter 2022 adjusted net sales to increase 3% to 7% compared to the second quarter of 2021 which assumes a net neutral impact from acquisitions and foreign currency translation.

Adjusted EBITDA margin for the second quarter of 2022 is expected to be approximately 20% to 21%, which includes approximately $60 million of premium supply chain costs. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $4.05 to $4.35. This assumes an adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 18%.

Full Year 2022

The Company continues to expect adjusted net sales to increase 3% to 7% from 2021, which assumes approximately 50 basis point negative net impact from foreign currency translation and acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is now expected to be approximately 22% to 23%. This assumes approximately $200 million impact from premium supply chain costs.

Free cash flow is now expected to be at least $800 million.

The outlook amounts provided above do not include any projected results from the acquisition of Matrox Imaging, which is expected to close mid-2022.

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.

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.
