| Item 2.05. | Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. |
| | | | | |
| On December 9, 2025, in an effort to realign resources to efficiently support its strategic priorities, Zebra Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) determined that it would dispose or exit of its robotics automation solutions business. The Company expects to incur up to $80 million of one-time pre-tax charges, inclusive of non-cash asset impairment charges of approximately $60 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. The actions are expected to result in net annualized pre-tax cost savings of at least $20 million.
The estimated charges that the Company expects to incur as a result of such actions are subject to a number of assumptions, and actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, such actions.
