Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Management prepared these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for Zebra Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) 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 notes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

In the opinion of the Company, these interim financial statements include all adjustments (of a normal, recurring nature) necessary to present fairly its consolidated balance sheet as of October 3, 2015, the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014. These results, however, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

Reclassifications: Prior-period amounts differ from amounts previously reported because certain immaterial amounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
