Summary
Zebra Technologies reported third-quarter 2026 net sales of $1,614 million, up 22.3% year over year, net income of $164 million ($3.43 per diluted share) and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $4.95, and raised its full-year outlook while guiding fourth-quarter sales growth of 10% to 14%. Chief Executive Bill Burns attributed the growth to broad-based demand for automation of frontline operations and to the Elo Touch acquisition, and said memory supply and pricing actions helped hold adjusted EBITDA margin at 21.6%.
Key points
- Third-quarter net sales were $1,614 million, up 22.3% year over year, with organic net sales growth of 11.3%; the Connected Frontline segment grew 15.0% organically and Asset Visibility & Automation 7.0%.
- Net income was $164 million, or $3.43 per diluted share; non-GAAP diluted EPS was $4.95 and adjusted EBITDA was $349 million at a 21.6% margin.
- Gross margin fell to 45.7% from 48.0%, which Zebra attributed primarily to higher memory component costs and business mix, partly offset by favorable foreign currency.
- Zebra guided fourth-quarter sales growth of 10% to 14% and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $5.00 to $5.40, and expects full-year free cash flow of at least $1 billion.
