Zebra Technologies delivered higher first-quarter 2026 sales with relatively flat earnings. Net sales rose to $1,495 million from $1,308 million, while operating income increased to $215 million from $195 million. Net income was $135 million, essentially unchanged from $136 million, with diluted EPS at $2.72 versus $2.62.
Both segments grew: Connected Frontline sales rose 20.6% to $825 million and Asset Visibility & Automation grew 7.4% to $670 million. Zebra completed the $20 million sale of its robotics automation business, recording a $5 million gain, and booked $8 million of restructuring charges under its 2025 Productivity Plan, which is expected to yield about $35 million in annualized cost savings when completed.
Zebra generated $176 million in operating cash flow and $163 million in free cash flow, ending the quarter with $114 million in cash and $2,660 million of total debt. The company repurchased $300 million of stock in the first quarter and a further $200 million early in the second quarter. Zebra also notes approximately $75 million of IEEPA-related import tariffs it intends to seek as refunds after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, although no recovery is recorded yet.

Non-GAAP diluted EPS rose to $4.75 from $4.02, and adjusted EBITDA increased to $347 million, a 23.2% margin. Free cash flow was $163 million, and the company repurchased $300 million of shares.
