Financial Risks
Zebra faces risks related to its significant indebtedness, including difficulty meeting obligations, limited access to future financing, potential competitive disadvantage, and vulnerability to economic downturns. IT system disruptions, software defects, and reliance on third-party suppliers pose operational risks. The outcome of legal proceedings and changes in government policies also present uncertainties. The company's ability to collect cash from customers is also a risk.
Financial Upside
Zebra's net sales increased 31.3% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2024, driven by growth in both segments. Operating income improved significantly, resulting in a net income of $137 million. The company's cash flow from operations was strong, with $707 million generated in the first nine months of 2024. Organic net sales growth, excluding currency effects, also showed positive trends.
