Net sales were $1,320 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $1,255 million in the prior year. Net sales in the Enterprise Visibility & Mobility (“EVM”) segment were $865 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $845 million in the prior year. Asset Intelligence & Tracking (“AIT”) segment net sales were $455 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $410 million in the prior year. Consolidated organic net sales for the third quarter of 2025 increased 4.8% year-over-year, with a 2.0% increase in the EVM segment and a 10.6% increase in the AIT segment(1).
Third quarter 2025 gross profit was $634 million compared to $613 million in the prior year. Gross margin decreased to 48.0% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 48.8% in the prior year primarily due to approximately $6 million of U.S. import tariff expense net of mitigating actions. Adjusted gross margin was 48.2% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 49.1% in the prior year.
Operating expenses increased to $451 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $422 million in the prior year primarily due to increased stock based compensation expense. Adjusted operating expenses increased to $368 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $364 million in the prior year.
Net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $101 million, or $1.97 per diluted share, compared to net income of $137 million, or $2.64 per diluted share, in the prior year. Non-GAAP net income increased to $198 million for the third quarter of 2025, or $3.88 per diluted share, compared to $181 million, or $3.49 per diluted share, for the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025 increased to $285 million, or 21.6% of adjusted net sales, compared to $268 million, or 21.4% of adjusted net sales in the prior year due to lower adjusted operating expense as a percentage of sales, partially offset by lower gross margin.
(1) Effective with the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company’s reportable segments will be changed to Connected Frontline and Asset Visibility & Automation. Reference the appendix of this press release for additional information, including recast financial performance.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of September 27, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,053 million and total debt of $2,183 million.
For the first nine months of 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was $560 million and the Company invested $56 million in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow of $504 million. The Company also made share repurchases of $284 million and acquired Photoneo for $62 million.
Outlook
The Company expects fourth quarter sales growth between 8% and 11% compared to the prior year. This expectation includes approximately 850 basis points of favorable impact from acquisitions and foreign currency translation.
Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter is expected to be approximately 22% which includes the impact of approximately $6 million U.S. import tariff expense, net of mitigating actions, assuming current rates and exemptions. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $4.20 to $4.40. This assumes an adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 18%.
Free Cash Flow for the full year 2025 is expected to be greater than $800 million.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025 and continuing through the next 12 months, the Company expects to repurchase $500 million of its common stock.
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 Zebra’s business and results of operations. Zebra’s ability to purchase sufficient materials, parts, and components, and ability to provide services, software and products to meet customer demand could negatively impact Zebra’s results of operations and customer relationships. Profits and profitability will 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 adverse impact on results. Foreign exchange rates, customs duties and trade policies may have an adverse effect on financial results because of the global nature of Zebra’s business. 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 that could adversely affect Zebra’s business and results of operations. The success of integrating acquisitions could also adversely 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 Zebra’s 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 certain risks, uncertainties and other factors that could adversely 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 EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA margin,” “adjusted gross margin,” “adjusted gross profit,” “adjusted net sales,” “adjusted operating expenses,” “EBITDA,” “free cash flow,” “non-GAAP diluted earnings per share,” “non-GAAP earnings per share,” “non-GAAP net income,” “organic net sales,” and “organic net sales growth.” 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 prior year period as well as removing realized cash flow hedge gains and losses from both the current and 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.

Operating results reported in U.S. Dollars are affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign currency translation 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 the current period results at the currency exchange rates used in the comparable prior year period as well as removing realized cash flow hedge gains and losses from both the current and prior year periods. |
|
|
|
|
(2) |
For purposes of computing Organic Net sales growth, amounts directly attributable to business acquisitions are excluded for twelve months following their respective acquisitions. |
