Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Zebra Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Zebra” or the “Company”) is a global leader focused on digitizing and automating operations and improving enterprise workflows on the frontline in the automatic identification and data capture offerings industry. We design, manufacture, and sell a broad range of offerings, including cloud-based software subscriptions, that capture and move data. We also provide a full range of services, including maintenance, technical support, repair, managed and professional services. End-users of our offerings include those in retail and e-commerce, manufacturing, transportation and logistics, healthcare, hospitality, public sector, and other industries. We provide our offerings globally through a direct sales force and an extensive network of channel partners.

Effective in the fourth quarter, the Company’s reportable segments changed to Connected Frontline (“CF”) and Asset Visibility & Automation (“AVA”). This change aligns with how we are operating our business to advance our strategy and the level of detailed financial information reviewed by our chief operating decision-maker going forward. Also effective in the fourth quarter, our segment results exclude share-based compensation expense from the measurement of segment operating income. Historical segment results have been recasted to conform with the current period presentation. These changes did not have an impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. Refer to Part I, Item 1 of this document for additional information about our operating segments.
