Non-GAAP Financial Results (unaudited)
For the third quarter of 2015, sales excluding the impact of purchase accounting were $919.1 million. Non-GAAP net income was $72.4 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, compared with $41.6 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2015 were $159.4 million, or 17.3% of sales compared to $74.5 million, or 24.6% of sales for the third quarter of 2014.
The company's calculation of non-GAAP results adjusts for certain items on a tax-effected basis. Please refer to the tables included in this press release for reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial results.
"Our third quarter results demonstrate the continued success of our focus on growth and execution. In the year since the acquisition closed, we have returned Enterprise to consistent growth and made progress toward achieving our long-term financial objectives," said Anders Gustafsson, CEO of Zebra Technologies. "With the proliferation of connected devices and the expanding mobile workforce, organizations are increasingly choosing our technology to expand their competitive advantage and enable the smart, connected enterprise."
Discussion and Analysis – Third Quarter
Fourth Quarter Outlook
The company expects net sales in the fourth quarter of 2015 to be within a range of $945 million to $975 million excluding purchase accounting adjustments. This forecast reflects an expectation of year-over-year growth of 3.6% to 6.9% in constant currency, on an estimated historical basis for the Enterprise business. Non-GAAP earnings are expected in the range of $1.38 to $1.63 per share. Adjusted EBITDA are forecasted within a range of $155 million to $170 million. Compared to the third quarter currency environment, the impacts on our fourth quarter outlook resulting from the most recent strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro include reductions in top-line sales of approximately $6 million, EBITDA of approximately $5 million and Non-GAAP EPS of approximately five cents per share.

Forward-looking Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements, as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, the statements regarding the company's outlook. Similarly, statements herein that describe the transaction between Zebra and Motorola Solutions including, its financial impact, and other statements of management's beliefs, intentions, or goals are also forward-looking statements. When used in this release and documents referenced, the words "anticipate," "believe," "outlook," and "expect" and similar expressions, as they relate to the company or its management, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying these statements. Actual results may differ from those expressed or implied in the company's forward-looking statements. These statements represent estimates only as of the date they were made. Zebra undertakes no obligation, other than as may be required by law, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason after the date of this release.
These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions and are subject to the risks and uncertainties inherent in Zebra's industry, market conditions, general domestic and international economic conditions, and other factors. These factors include customer acceptance of Zebra's hardware and software products and competitors' product offerings, and the potential effects of technological changes. The continued uncertainty over future global economic conditions, the availability of credit and capital markets volatility may have adverse effects on Zebra, its suppliers and its customers. In addition, a disruption in our ability to obtain products from vendors as a result of supply chain constraints, natural disasters or other circumstances could restrict sales and negatively affect customer relationships. Profits and profitability will be affected by Zebra's ability to control manufacturing and operating costs. Because of its debt, interest rates and financial market conditions will also have an impact on results. Foreign exchange rates will have an effect on financial results because of the large percentage of our international sales. The outcome of litigation in which Zebra may be involved is another factor. The success of integrating acquisitions, including the Enterprise business of Motorola Solutions, could also affect profitability, reported results and the company's competitive position in it industry. These and other factors could have an adverse effect on Zebra's sales, gross profit margins and results of operations and increase the volatility of our financial results. Descriptions of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could affect the company's future operations and results can be found in Zebra's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In particular, readers are referred to Zebra's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
