Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract] |
Investments and Marketable Securities | Note 5 Investments and Marketable Securities Investments in marketable debt securities are classified based on intent and ability to sell investment securities. Zebra’s available-for-sale securities are used to fund future acquisitions and other operating needs and therefore can be sold prior to maturity. Investments in marketable debt securities for which Zebra intends to sell within the next year are classified as current and those that we intend to hold in excess of one-year are classified as non-current. Changes in the market value of available-for-sale securities are reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive income caption of stockholders’ equity in the balance sheet, until we dispose of the securities. Once these securities are disposed of, either by sale or maturity, the accumulated changes in market value are transferred to investment income. On the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, changes in the balances of available-for-sale securities are shown as purchases, sales and maturities of investments and marketable securities under investing activities. Changes in market value of trading securities would be recorded in investment income as they occur, and the related cash flow statement includes changes in the balances of trading securities as operating cash flows. Changes in unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in these financial statements as follows (in thousands):
|  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |  |  | 2012 |
Changes in unrealized gains and losses on available-for- sale securities, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) |  | $ | 425 |  |  | $ | (456) |  |  | $ | 887 |
The following table shows the number, aggregate market value and unrealized losses (in thousands) of investments with market values that were less than amortized cost as of December 31, 2014. These lower market values are primarily caused by fluctuations in interest rates and credit spreads. Market values are expected to recover to the amortized cost prior to maturity.
