Overview
We are a global leader in the Automatic Identification and Data Capture (“AIDC”) industry. The AIDC market consists of mobile computing, data capture, radio frequency identification devices (“RFID”), thermal barcode printing, and other workflow automation products and services. The Company’s offerings are proven to help our customers and end-users digitize and automate their workflows to achieve their critical business objectives, including improved productivity and operational efficiency, optimized regulatory compliance, and better customer experiences.
We design, manufacture, and sell a broad range of AIDC offerings, including: mobile computers, barcode scanners and imagers, RFID readers, specialty printers for barcode labeling and personal identification, real-time location systems (“RTLS”), related accessories and supplies, such as labels and other consumables, and related software applications. We also provide machine vision and self-serve touchscreen solutions; a full range of services, including maintenance, technical support, repair, managed and professional services; as well as cloud-based software subscriptions. End-users of our offerings include those in retail and e-commerce, manufacturing, transportation and logistics, healthcare, hospitality, public sector, and other industries.
We continue to evolve and advance our vision: frontline operations everywhere are digitized, automated and intelligent. Through continual innovation, we have expanded beyond the traditional AIDC market to transform activities such as factory production, packages moving through a supply chain, retail shopping, the hospital patient journey, restaurant self-service, and first responders addressing public safety and emergency situations. Data from enterprise assets, including status, condition, location, utilization, and preferences, is analyzed to provide prioritized actionable insights and optimize activities.
The Company’s operations consist of two reportable segments that provide complementary offerings to our customers: Connected Frontline (“CF”) and Asset Visibility & Automation (“AVA”).
•The CF segment is focused on unifying teams, customers, and AI agents to deliver enhanced frontline experiences. This segment brings together solutions that empower frontline workers with the information and tools they need to make smarter decisions and improve customer service. Principal product categories include mobile computing, point of sale solutions, self-service kiosks and interactive touchscreen displays, workflow optimization software solutions, and related services.
•The AVA segment provides solutions that track critical assets and automate workflows to provide the real-time, data-driven insights necessary to optimize supply chains, manufacturing, and logistics. The principal product categories include thermal barcode printing and related supplies and sensors, data capture, fixed industrial scanning, machine vision, RFID, real-time location systems (RTLS), and related services.

•We recognized a $73 million pretax benefit from the expected refund of previously paid import tariffs, with $14 million of cash received in the second quarter.
•We repurchased $568 million of common shares year to date, including $268 million in the second quarter.
IEEPA Import Tariffs:
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated certain import tariffs enacted in 2025 under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). The Company is in the process of seeking the refund of its approximately $73 million of previously paid import tariffs in accordance with the process defined by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company recognized the benefit of approximately $73 million in expected refunds within Cost of Sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, including $46 million attributed to the CF segment and $27 million attributed to the AVA segment.
See Note 12, Accrued Liabilities, Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to this matter.
Exit & Restructuring Actions:
In the second quarter, we substantially completed our actions under the previously announced 2025 Productivity Plan and recorded an additional $8 million in severance and related costs. Cumulative one-time charges under this plan, which was initiated last year, were $37 million. We expect these actions to achieve net annualized pre-tax cost savings of approximately $35 million. The majority of the remaining obligations associated with these actions are expected to be satisfied in the second half of 2026.
See Note 7, Exit and Restructuring Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to the Company’s exit and restructuring actions.

(1)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 attributable to business acquisitions or dispositions are excluded for twelve months following or preceding the respective acquisition or disposition, respectively.
(3)Consolidated Organic Net sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the Non-GAAP Measures section at the end of this item.
Second quarter 2026 compared to Second quarter 2025
Total Net sales increased by $264 million or 20.4% compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting growth in both of our segments. Our overall sales growth reflects improved demand in all regions. Excluding the effects of foreign currency, acquisitions and dispositions, Consolidated Organic Net sales increased by 9.2%.
Gross margin increased to 53.0% for the current quarter compared to 47.6% for the prior year quarter, primarily due to the favorable impacts of IEEPA tariff recoveries and foreign currency. We also fully mitigated increased memory costs through price realization.
Operating expenses for the quarters ended July 4, 2026 and June 28, 2025 were $504 million and $433 million, or 32.4% and 33.5% of Net sales, respectively. Current quarter Operating expenses increased compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the inclusion of operating expenses of Elo Touch, including intangible asset amortization, as well as higher employee-related costs.
Operating income was $321 million for the current quarter compared to $183 million in the prior year quarter.
Total Other expense, net decreased primarily due to net losses on long-term investments in the prior year quarter and lower foreign exchange losses in the current quarter, partially offset by higher interest expense associated with higher average debt balances.

Table of Contents
The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended July 4, 2026 and June 28, 2025 were 18.2% and 18.8%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to tax benefits related to foreign earnings subject to U.S. taxation, partially offset by increased U.S. state income taxes.
Year to date 2026 compared to Year to date 2025
Total Net sales increased by $451 million or 17.3% compared to the prior year, reflecting growth in both of our segments. Our overall sales growth reflects improved demand in all regions. Excluding the effects of foreign currency, acquisitions and dispositions, Consolidated Organic Net sales increased by 6.8%.
Gross margin increased to 51.3% for the current year compared to 48.5% for the prior year, primarily due to favorable impacts of IEEPA tariff recoveries and foreign currency.
Operating expenses for the quarters ended July 4, 2026 and June 28, 2025 were $1,031 million and $883 million, or 33.8% and 33.9% of Net sales, respectively. Current year Operating expenses increased compared to the prior year primarily due to the inclusion of operating expenses of Elo Touch, including intangible asset amortization, as well as higher employee-related costs.
Operating income was $536 million for the current year compared to $378 million in the prior year.
Total Other expense, net increased primarily due to lower interest income on cash equivalents and higher interest expense associated with higher average debt balances, partially offset by lower foreign exchange losses.
The Company’s effective tax rates for the six months ended July 4, 2026 and June 28, 2025 were 18.6% and 18.2%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to higher U.S. state income taxes and less favorability from tax credits, partially offset by increased tax benefits related to foreign earnings subject to U.S. taxation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The primary factors that influence our liquidity include the amount and timing of cash collections from our customers, cash payments to our suppliers, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and share repurchases. Management believes that our existing capital resources, inclusive of available borrowing capacity on debt and other financing facilities and funds generated from operations, are sufficient to meet anticipated capital requirements and service our indebtedness. The following table summarizes our cash flow activities for the periods indicated (in millions):

(1)Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities in a period minus purchases of property, plant and equipment (capital expenditures) made in that period.
2026 compared to 2025
The change in our cash and cash equivalents balance during the six months ended July 4, 2026 compared to the prior year was primarily due to the following:
•$62 million increase in net operating cash inflows primarily due to growth in the business and higher operating profitability, favorable timing of vendor payments, and lower incentive compensation payments in the current year, partially offset by unfavorable timing of customer collections.
•$84 million decrease in net investing cash outflows primarily due to the acquisition of Photoneo in the prior year.
•$84 million increase in net financing cash outflows primarily due to higher share repurchases, partially offset by net borrowings on our debt facilities.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disaggregated disclosure of certain categories of expenses that are included within expense captions presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations on an annual and interim basis. This ASU will be effective for the Company’s fiscal December 31, 2027 year-end and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures; it will not have an impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which amends the criteria for capitalizing internal-use software development costs. This ASU will be effective for the Company beginning in 2028, with early adoption permitted. While we are currently assessing the impact of this ASU, we do not expect it to have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Non-GAAP Measures
The Company has provided reconciliations of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures – Consolidated Organic Net sales growth, CF Organic Net sales growth, AVA Organic Net sales growth, and Free cash flow – are presented because our management evaluates our financial results both including and excluding the effects of items that are not part of ongoing operations. Management believes that the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of our business from period to period and trends in our historical operating results. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures presented.
