Net sales were $1,347 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $1,052 million in the first quarter of 2020. Net sales in the Enterprise Visibility & Mobility ("EVM") segment were $914 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared with $697 million in the first quarter of 2020. Asset Intelligence & Tracking ("AIT") segment net sales were $436 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $355 million in the prior year period. Consolidated organic net sales for the first quarter increased 25.0%. First-quarter year-over-year organic net sales increased by 26.8% in the EVM segment and increased by 21.4% in the AIT segment.
First-quarter 2021 gross profit was $655 million compared to $473 million in the prior year period. Gross margin increased to 48.6% for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 45.0% in the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to favorable business mix, higher service and software margin, $10 million net favorability in Chinese import tariffs, and contribution from higher margin business acquisitions. This favorability was partially offset by $11 million of incremental premium freight expense, and surcharges on certain component parts. Adjusted gross margin was 48.9% in the first quarter of 2021, compared to 45.2% in the prior year period.
Operating expenses increased in the first quarter of 2021 to $383 million from $322 million in the prior year period, primarily due to higher employee incentive-based compensation associated with improved financial performance; the inclusion of operating and amortization expenses associated with recently acquired businesses; and increased investment in research and development programs principally within our EVM segment. These increases were partially offset by lower travel expenses in the current year and the prior year costs associated with the 2019 Productivity Plan and product sourcing geographic diversification initiative. Adjusted operating expenses increased in the first quarter of 2021 to $337 million from $292 million in the prior year period.
Net income for the first quarter of 2021 was $228 million, or $4.22 per diluted share, compared to net income of $89 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2021 increased to $258 million, or $4.79 per diluted share, compared to $145 million, or $2.67 per diluted share, for the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2021 increased to $341 million, or 25.3% of adjusted net sales, compared to $201 million, or 19.1% of adjusted net sales, for the first quarter of 2020 due to higher gross margin and lower operating expenses as a percentage of sales.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of April 3, 2021, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $177 million and total debt of $1,096 million.
For the first three months of 2021, the company generated $224 million of operating cash flow and incurred capital expenditures of $10 million, resulting in free cash flow of $214 million. The company also made $13 million in venture investments.
For the first three months of 2021, the company made debt repayments of $156 million and cash interest payments of $9 million.
Outlook
Second Quarter 2021
The company expects second-quarter 2021 adjusted net sales to increase 38% to 42% from the second quarter of 2020 as the global economy continues to recover and we continue to realize pent-up demand from many customers. This expectation includes an approximately 450-500 basis point additive impact from the Reflexis acquisition and foreign currency translation, and reflects industry supply chain challenges.
Adjusted EBITDA margin for the second quarter of 2021 is expected to be in the range of 21% to 22%, which includes approximately $18 million of premium freight expense. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $4.00 to $4.20. This assumes an adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 18%.
Full-Year 2021
The Company now expects adjusted net sales to increase 18% to 22% from 2020, which includes an approximately 3 percentage point additive impact from the Reflexis acquisition and foreign currency translation, and reflects industry supply chain challenges.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is now expected to be approximately 22% to 23%.
Free cash flow is now expected to be at least $850 million.
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 hardware and software products and competitors’ product offerings, and the potential effects of technological changes. The continued uncertainty over future global economic conditions, the availability of credit and capital markets volatility may have adverse effects on Zebra, its suppliers and its customers. In addition, a disruption in our ability to obtain products from vendors as a result of supply chain constraints, natural disasters, public health issues (including pandemics), or other circumstances could restrict sales and negatively affect 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 will also have an impact on results. Foreign exchange rates will have an effect on financial results because of the large percentage of our international sales. The outcome of litigation in which Zebra may be involved is another factor. The success of integrating acquisitions could also 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 our 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 the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could 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 net sales,” “adjusted gross profit,” “EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Non-GAAP net income,” “Non-GAAP earnings per share,” “free cash flow,” “organic net sales growth,” and “adjusted operating expenses.” 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 period in the prior year, rather than the exchange rates in effect during the current period. In addition, the company excludes the impact of its foreign currency hedging program in the 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, inclusive of the Company’s foreign currency hedging program. |

(1) |
Free cash flow is defined as Net cash provided by operating activities in a period minus purchases of property plant and equipment (capital expenditures) made in that period. This measure does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures as the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments for future business acquisitions. Therefore we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our entire statements of cash flows. |
ZEBRA TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES SEGMENT INFORMATION
Effective January 1, 2021, we moved the retail solutions offering from our AIT segment into our EVM segment contemporaneous with a change in our organizational structure and management of the business. Prior period results have been revised to conform to the current segment presentation. This change does not have an impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The revised prior period results set forth below are GAAP measures. The effects of our segment change similarly impacted the Company's relevant Non-GAAP measures. |
