ZEBRA TECHNOLOGIES CORP

The primary factors that influence our liquidity include the amount and timing of cash collections from our customers, cash payments to our suppliers, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and share repurchases. 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. The following table summarizes our cash flow activities for the periods indicated (in millions):

The change in our cash and cash equivalents balance during the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to the prior year is primarily due to the following:

•$201 million change in operating activities primarily due to lower cash payments for inventory purchases and the reduction of overall inventory levels, as well as lower employee incentive compensation and income tax payments, partially offset by unfavorable timing of customer collections and higher payments associated with Exit and restructuring actions.

•$194 million change in financing activities primarily due to net debt repayments in the current year compared to net debt borrowings in the prior year.

Company Debt

The following table shows the carrying value of the Company’s debt (in millions):

Term Loan A

The principal on Term Loan A is due in quarterly installments, with the next quarterly installment due in the second quarter of 2025 and the majority due upon maturity in 2027. The Company may make prepayments in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, and would be required to prepay certain outstanding amounts in the event of certain circumstances or transactions. As of March 30, 2024, the Term Loan A interest rate was 6.68%. Interest payments are made monthly and are subject to variable rates plus an applicable margin.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company has a Revolving Credit Facility that is available for working capital and other general business purposes, including letters of credit. As of March 30, 2024, the Company had letters of credit totaling $11 million, which reduced funds available for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility from $1,500 million to $1,489 million. As of March 30, 2024, the Revolving Credit Facility had an average interest rate of 6.68%. Upon borrowing, interest payments are made monthly and are subject to variable rates plus an applicable margin. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on May 25, 2027.

Receivables Financing Facilities

The Company has two Receivables Financing Facilities with financial institutions that have a combined total borrowing limit of up to $280 million. As collateral, the Company pledges perfected first-priority security interests in its U.S. domestically originated accounts receivable. The Company has accounted for transactions under its facilities as secured borrowings. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company amended its first facility, which allows for borrowings up to $180 million, to extend the maturity to March 19, 2027, but otherwise did not substantially change the terms of the facility. The Company’s second facility allows for borrowings of up to $100 million, matures on May 13, 2024 and is not expected to be renewed.

As of March 30, 2024, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets included $504 million of gross receivables that were pledged under the facilities. As of March 30, 2024, $280 million had been borrowed, of which $261 million was classified as current. Borrowings under the facilities bear interest at a variable rate plus an applicable margin.

See Note 9, Long-Term Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details related to the Company’s debt instruments.

Receivables Factoring

The Company transfers certain receivables to banks without recourse as part of its credit and cash management activities. Such transfers are accounted for as sales and the related receivables are removed from the Company’s balance sheet. The Company does not maintain any beneficial interest in the receivables sold. 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 Cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, while sale proceeds in excess of the fair value of factored receivables are reflected in Cash flows from financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were a total of $43 million and $56 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 $121 million and $112 million of obligations that were not yet remitted to banks as of March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These obligations are included within Accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in such obligations reflected within Cash flows from financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

See Note 15, Accounts Receivable Factoring in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Share Repurchases

On May 17, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to an incremental $1 billion of its outstanding shares of common stock. This authorization augments the previous $1 billion share repurchase authorization which was announced on July 30, 2019. The May 2022 share repurchase program does not have a stated expiration date. The level of the Company’s repurchases depends on a number of factors, including its financial condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors its management may deem relevant. The timing, volume, and nature of repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors and may be amended, suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases may be affected from time to time through open market purchases, including pursuant to a pre-set trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company completed its original authorization of $1 billion in share repurchases. During the first three months of 2024, the Company did not repurchase shares of common stock. As of March 30, 2024, the Company has cumulatively repurchased 409,014 shares of common stock for approximately $107 million, resulting in a remaining amount of share repurchases authorized under the May 2022 program of $893 million.
