NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Management prepared these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for Zebra Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries (“Zebra”) according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. These financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Zebra’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, included in this Form 10-Q is taken from the audited consolidated balance sheet in our Form 10-K. These interim financial statements include all adjustments (of a normal, recurring nature) necessary to present fairly Zebra’s consolidated financial position as of June 29, 2013, the consolidated statements of earnings for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, and consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012. These results, however, are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities are to be measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is based on 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. Zebra uses a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on 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, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value. Included in our investment portfolio at June 29, 2013, is an auction rate security which is classified as available for sale and is reflected at fair value. Due to events in credit markets, however, the auction event for the instrument held by Zebra is failed. Therefore, the fair value of this security is estimated utilizing broker quotations, discounted cash flow analysis or other types of valuation adjustment methodologies at June 29, 2013. These analyses consider, among other items, the collateral underlying the security instruments, the creditworthiness of the counterparty, the timing of expected future cash flows, estimates of the next time the security is expected to have a successful auction, and Zebra’s intent and ability to hold such securities until credit markets improve. The security was also compared, when possible, to other securities with similar characteristics.

The decline in the market value of our auction rate security discussed above is considered temporary and has been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income loss on Zebra’s balance sheet. Since Zebra has the intent and ability to hold this auction rate security until it is sold at auction, redeemed at carrying value or reaches maturity, we have classified it as a long-term investment on the balance sheet.

2) The fair value of forward contracts are calculated as follows:

a. Fair value of a collar or put option contract associated with forecasted sales hedges are calculated using bid and ask rates for similar contracts.

b. Fair value of regular forward contracts associated with forecasted sales hedges are calculated using the period-end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points.

c. Fair value of balance sheet hedges are calculated at the period end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points unless the hedge has been traded but not settled at period end. If this is the case, the fair value is calculated at the rate at which the hedge is being settled.

Note 3 – Investments and Marketable Securities

Investments in marketable debt securities are classified based on intent and ability to sell the investment securities. Zebra’s available-for-sale securities are used to fund further acquisitions and other operating needs and therefore may be sold prior to maturity. Investments in marketable debt securities for which Zebra intends to sell within the next year are classified as current and those that we intend to hold in excess of one-year are classified as non-current.

Changes in the market value of available-for-sale securities are reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive income caption of stockholders’ equity in the balance sheet, until we dispose of the securities. Once these securities are disposed of, either by sale or maturity, the accumulated changes in market value are transferred to investment income. On the statement of cash flows, changes in the balances of available-for-sale securities are shown as purchases, sales and maturities of investments and marketable securities under investing activities.

Changes in market value of trading securities would be recorded in investment income as they occur, and the related statement of cash flows would include changes in the balances of trading securities as operating cash flows.

Included in Zebra’s cash and investments and marketable securities are amounts held by foreign subsidiaries which are generally invested in U.S. dollar-denominated holdings. Zebra had foreign cash and investments of $206,001,000 as of June 29, 2013, and $173,483,000 as of December 31, 2012. Amounts held by foreign subsidiaries are generally subject to U.S. income taxation upon repatriation, however, Zebra does not see a need to repatriate these funds.

Zebra has $94,942,000 of goodwill recorded as of June 29, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment exist. We performed our assessment in accordance with Accounting Standards update (ASU) 2011-08, which allows for the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether the fair value needs to be reassessed. We performed our qualitative assessment in June 2013 and determined that our goodwill was not impaired as of the end of May 2013.

Note 7 – Costs Associated with Exit and Restructuring Activities

In December 2012, we began a plan, “2012 restructuring plan,” to restructure our Location Solutions business management structure. We also announced a project to further optimize our manufacturing operations, which includes the consolidation and relocation of support functions.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Location Solutions revenue decreased from our previous business plans. The Locations Solutions 2012 restructuring plan was initiated as expected revenue increases failed to be realized due to slower than anticipated growth in the automotive and process manufacturing industries, weakness in the government sector, and lack of near term improvement related to Location Solutions.

In the second quarter of 2013 management determined that additional restructuring actions would be required to meet our financial goals for the Location Solutions business.

During 2007, Zebra began a plan to outsource printer manufacturing which was completed during 2010. During the fourth quarter of 2012, we determined that further supply chain cost reductions were possible by moving certain supply chain support operations closer to our contract printer manufacturer.

The costs below incurred for the year ended December 31, 2012, represent the costs related to the restructuring of our Location Solutions business management structure. Costs incurred for 2013 and costs expected to be incurred relate to the following: restructuring of Zebra’s manufacturing operations, relocation of a significant portion of Zebra’s supply chain operations from the U.S. to China, consolidating activities domestically, restructuring of our sales operations and corporate restructuring as well as an amendment to the Location Solutions “2012 restructuring plan” adding additional restructuring charges to be incurred.

Note 8 – Derivative Instruments

Portions of our operations are subject to fluctuations in currency values. We manage these risks using derivative financial instruments. We conduct business on a multinational basis in a wide variety of foreign currencies. Our exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from international financing activities between subsidiaries, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and transactions arising from international trade. Our objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency denominated cash flows. We attempt to hedge transaction exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through foreign exchange forward and option contracts with third parties.

Credit and Market risk

Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose us to counterparty credit risk for nonperformance and to market risk related to interest and currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific minimum credit standards, diversification of counterparties, and procedures to monitor concentrations of credit risk. Our counterparties in derivative transactions are commercial banks with significant experience using derivative instruments. We monitor the impact of market risk on the fair value and cash flows of our derivative and other financial instruments considering reasonably possible changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates and restrict the use of derivative

12


Table of Contents

financial instruments to hedging activities. We continually monitor the creditworthiness of our customers to which we grant credit terms in the normal course of business. The terms and conditions of our credit sales are designed to mitigate or eliminate concentrations of credit risk with any single customer.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

Zebra has determined that derivative instruments for hedges that have traded but have not settled are considered Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, and hedges that have not traded are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Derivative instruments are used to manage risk and are not used for trading or other speculative purposes, nor do we use leveraged derivative financial instruments. Our foreign currency exchange contracts are valued using broker quotations or market transactions, in either the listed or over-the-counter markets.

Hedging of Net Assets

We use forward contracts to manage exposure related to our pound and euro denominated net assets. Forward contracts typically mature within three months after execution of the contracts. We record gains and losses on these contracts in income each quarter along with the transaction gains and losses related to our net asset positions, which would ordinarily offset each other.

Summary financial information related to these activities included in our consolidated statement of earnings as other income (expense) is as follows (in thousands):

Hedging of Anticipated Sales

We manage the exchange rate risk of anticipated euro-denominated sales using purchased options, forward contracts, and participating forwards. We designate these contracts as cash flow hedges which mature within twelve months after the execution of the contracts. Gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income until the contracts are settled and the hedged sales are realized. The deferred gains or losses are then reported as an increase or decrease to sales.

Note 9 – Warranty

In general, Zebra provides warranty coverage of one year on printers against defects in material and workmanship. Printheads are warranted for six months and batteries are warranted for one year. Battery based products, such as location tags, are covered by a 90-day warranty. A provision for warranty expense is recorded at the time of sale and adjusted quarterly based on historical warranty experience.

Note 10 – Contingencies

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

Cash flows resulting from the tax benefits of tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized (excess tax benefits) are classified as financing cash flows in the statement of cash flows. The tax benefits classified as financing cash flows for the six months ended June 29, 2013 was $3,727,000 and for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $1,358,000.

The fair value of share-based compensation is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial model. Volatility is based on an average of the implied volatility in the open market and the annualized volatility of Zebra stock prices over our entire stock history. Stock option grants in the table below include both stock options, all of which were non-qualified, and stock appreciation rights (SAR) of which all will be settled in Zebra stock. Restricted stock grants are valued at the market closing price on the date of the grant. The following table shows the weighted-average assumptions used for grants of SARs as well as the fair value of the grants based on those assumptions:

The terms of the SARs are established under either the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan or the 2011 Long-term Incentive Plan (the “Plans”) and the applicable SAR agreement. Once vested, a SAR entitles the holder to receive a payment equal to the difference between the per-share grant price of the SAR and the fair market value of a share of Zebra stock on the date the SAR is exercised, multiplied by the number of SARs exercised. Exercised SARs are settled in whole shares of Zebra stock, and any fraction of a share is settled in cash. The SARs granted typically vest annually in four equal amounts on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, with some SARs vesting over a period of five years. All SARs expire 10 years after the grant date.

Restricted stock grants consist of time vested restricted stock awards (RSAs) and performance share awards (PSAs). Zebra’s restricted stock awards are expensed over the vesting period of the related award, typically three to five years. Compensation cost is calculated as the market date fair value on the grant date multiplied by the number of shares granted.

Note 14 – Income Taxes

Zebra has identified, evaluated, and measured the amount of income tax benefits to be recognized for all of our income tax positions. Included in deferred tax assets are amounts related to federal and state net operating losses acquired as part of our acquisition of WhereNet Corp in 2007. We intend to utilize these net operating loss carryforwards to offset future income taxes.

Zebra earns a significant amount of its operating income outside of the U.S., which is deemed to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. We do not intend to repatriate funds, however, should we require more capital in the U.S. than is generated by our operations locally, we could elect to repatriate funds held in foreign jurisdictions or raise capital in the U.S. through debt or equity issuances. Repatriation would result in higher effective tax rates. Borrowing in the U.S. would result in increased interest expense.

An audit of U.S. federal tax returns for years 2008 through 2010 was completed in 2012. The tax years 2009 through 2011 remain open to examination by multiple state taxing jurisdictions. Tax authorities in the United Kingdom have completed income tax audits for tax years through 2011.

Zebra’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense. For the six months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, we did not accrue any interest or penalties into income tax expense.

Effective tax rate

19.0 % 23.6 % 18.6 % 25.8 %

The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2013 was 18.6%, compared with 25.8% for the first six months of 2012. The 2013 effective rate reflects higher profits in lower-rate international jurisdictions and reinstatement of the US R&D tax credit during the first quarter of 2013 retroactive to January 2012 which resulted in a one-time credit of approximately $400,000, or a reduction to the effective tax rate of 0.6%.

Note 15 – Other Comprehensive Income

Stockholders’ equity includes certain items classified as accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), including:

Unrealized gains (losses) on hedging transactions relate to derivative instruments used to hedge the currency exchange rates for forecasted euro sales. These hedges are designated as cash flow hedges, and we have deferred income statement recognition of gains and losses until the hedged transaction occurs. See Note 8 for more details.

Unrealized gains (losses) on investments are deferred from income statement recognition until the gains or losses are realized.

Foreign currency translation adjustment relates to our non-U.S. subsidiary companies that have designated a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. We are required to translate the subsidiary functional currency financial statements to 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 other comprehensive income.

Consolidated Results of Operations – Second quarter

Sales

Net sales for the second quarter of 2013 increased 2.5% compared with the corresponding quarter in 2012. The increase was due to growth in supplies sales, both from the July 2012 LaserBand acquisition and organic growth of Zebra’s label and wristband business. Service and software revenue increased 7.1% compared to the same quarter last year as a result of increased sales in service contracts for mobile and tabletop printers, while hardware revenue declined 2.7%.

Sales increases in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Asia Pacific and North America were partially offset by decreased sales in Latin America. Sales growth include increases in desktop and tabletop printers in Europe and Latin America. Increases in supplies sales had a significant impact on sales in North America, Asia Pacific, and EMEA. Favorable movement in foreign currency increased sales by $736,000, net of hedges.

Gross Profit

Gross profit of 47.8%, versus 48.7% in 2012, reflects changes in product mix, special one-time pricing on large transactions, lower average selling price and higher costs for freight-in. Favorable movements in foreign currency increased second quarter gross profit by $1,079,000.

For the second quarter of 2013, unit volumes decreased compared to the second quarter of 2012, with notable volume decreases in desktop and mobile printers, offset by volume increases in tabletop, kiosk, and card printers. The decrease in average selling price included promotions on end of life inventory, special one-time pricing on large transactions and a change in product mix towards lower priced products.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the second quarter increased 4.6% principally related to product development and sales and marketing activities supporting Zebra’s entry to serve customers in the sports industry, as well as increased amortization and exit and restructuring costs. Amortization increases resulted from intangible assets acquired as part of our July 2012 LaserBand acquisition.

Exit and restructuring costs

During the third quarter of 2012, the Location Solutions revenue decreased from our previous business plans. The Locations Solutions 2012 restructuring plan was initiated as expected revenue increases failed to be realized due to slower than anticipated growth in the automotive and process manufacturing industries, weakness in the government sector, and lack of near term improvement related to Location Solutions.

In the second quarter of 2013 management determined that additional restructuring actions would be required to meet our financial goals for the Location Solutions business. We anticipate that the results of our restructuring actions will reduce costs of the Location Solutions business by $4,000,000 per year. These savings should be fully realized by the fourth quarter of 2013. The savings from the Location Solutions restructuring plan will primarily benefit cost of goods sold and selling and marketing costs.

During 2007, Zebra began a plan to outsource printer manufacturing which was completed during 2010. During the fourth quarter of 2012, we determined that further supply chain cost reductions were possible by moving certain supply chain support operations closer to our contract printer manufacturer. We anticipate these actions will generate $2,600,000 in savings to our cost of goods sold. These actions should be completed by the end of 2013.

Other Income (Expense)

Investment income is down due to a lower yield compared with 2012. The increase in other income is the result of a net $1,557,000 favorable litigation settlement, which is related to an investment loss that was recorded in prior years.

Our non-operating income and expense items are summarized in the following table (in thousands):

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 was 19.0%, compared with 23.6% for the second quarter of 2012. The 2013 effective rate reflects higher profits in lower-rate international jurisdictions.

Consolidated Results of Operations – Year to date

Sales

Net sales for the first six months of 2013, compared with the same 2012 period, declined 0.2% primarily due to economic conditions centered around Europe. The decrease in sales was attributable to 5.4% decline in hardware sales offset by a 17.4% growth in supplies which include labels and wristbands. These increases are the result of the LaserBand acquisition in July 2012 plus organic growth in supplies. Favorable movement in foreign currency increased sales by $650,000.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the six month period increased 6.8%. Expenses in several operating expense categories were offset by lower acquisition costs. These increases are principally related to activities supporting Zebra’s entry into the sports industry, amortization expense, outside professional services and exit and restructuring costs. Amortization expense increases resulted from intangible assets acquired in our LaserBand acquisition made in the second half of 2012. We incurred $1.4 million in increased legal fees primarily related to the enforcement of our patent rights.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2013 was 18.6%, compared with 25.8% for the first six months of 2012. The 2013 effective rate reflects higher profits in lower-rate international jurisdictions and reinstatement of the US R&D tax credit during the first quarter of 2013 retroactive to January 2012 which resulted in a one-time credit of approximately $400,000, or a reduction to the effective tax rate of 0.6%.

Annualized rate of return

0.5 % 0.8 %

Average cash and marketable securities balances for the first six months of 2013 increased compared to 2012 as a result of increased cash and marketable securities in 2013 versus comparable levels in 2012.

As of June 29, 2013, Zebra had $454,038,000 in cash and investments and marketable securities, compared with $394,075,000 at December 31, 2012. Factors affecting cash and investment balances during the first six months of 2013 include the following (changes below include the impact of foreign currency):

Inventories decreased $14,190,000 due to a decrease in finished goods.

Accrued liabilities decreased $6,094,000 due to the timing of annual bonus payments and regular payroll.

Purchases of treasury shares totaled $28,563,000.

Management believes that existing capital resources and funds generated from operations are sufficient to finance anticipated capital requirements.

Zebra earns a significant amount of its operating income outside of the U.S., which is deemed to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. Zebra does not intend to repatriate funds, however, should Zebra require more capital in the U.S. than is generated by our operations locally, Zebra could elect to repatriate funds held in foreign jurisdictions or raise capital in the U.S. through debt or equity issuances. Repatriation would result in higher effective tax rates. Borrowing in the U.S. would result in increased interest expense.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. The evaluation was conducted under the supervision of our Disclosure Committee, and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that (i) the information required to be disclosed by us in this report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or furnish under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal controls that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control 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 Zebra 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.
