Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when control of the product or service transfers to the customer at an amount that represents the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those products and services. Nature of Products The Companys revenues are primarily from the sale of identification solutions and workplace safety products that are shipped and billed to customers. All revenue is from contracts with customers and is included in Net sales on the consolidated statements of income. Performance Obligations The Companys contracts with customers consist of purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master supply or distributor agreements. For each contract, the Company considers the commitment to transfer tangible products, which are generally capable of being distinct, to be separate performance obligations. The majority of the Company's revenue is earned and recognized at a point in time through ship-and-bill performance obligations where the customer typically obtains control of the product upon shipment or delivery, depending on freight terms. The Company considers control to have transferred if legal title, physical possession, and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have transferred to the customer and the Company has a present right to payment. In almost all cases, control transfers once a product is shipped or delivered, as this is when the customer is able to direct and obtain substantially all of the remai …

The acquisition includes PSSs global manufacturing operations for integrated mobile computing, scanning, and printing, supported by its software solutions and service operations. The cash purchase price was $1.4 billion, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand, $800 million of borrowings under the Companys $1.0 billion credit agreement, and proceeds from the $800 million private placement of senior notes described below.
