NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 — OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Dell Technologies is a leading global end-to-end technology provider that designs, develops, manufactures, markets, sells, and supports a wide range of comprehensive and integrated solutions, products, and services. Dell Technologies offerings include servers and networking, storage, cloud solutions, desktops, notebooks, services, software, branded peripherals, and third-party software and peripherals. References in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to the “Company” or “Dell Technologies” mean Dell Technologies Inc. individually and together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2024. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company as of May 3, 2024 and February 2, 2024 and the results of its operations, corresponding comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three months ended May 3, 2024 and May 5, 2023.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of its operations, corresponding comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three months ended May 3, 2024 and May 5, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any other fiscal period.
The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Friday nearest January 31. Both the fiscal year ended February 2, 2024 (“Fiscal 2024”) and the fiscal year ending January 31, 2025 (“Fiscal 2025”) are 52-week periods.
Principles of Consolidation — These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Dell Technologies Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the accounts of SecureWorks Corp. (“Secureworks”), which is majority-owned by Dell Technologies. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Secureworks — As of May 3, 2024 and February 2, 2024, the Company held approximately 79.2% and 81.0%, respectively, of the outstanding equity interest in SecureWorks Corp. (“Secureworks”). The portion of the results of operations of Secureworks allocable to its other owners is shown as net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, as an adjustment to net income attributable to Dell Technologies stockholders. The non-controlling interests’ share of equity in Secureworks is reflected as non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and was $99 million and $95 million as of May 3, 2024 and February 2, 2024, respectively.
Variable Interest Entities — The Company consolidates Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") where it has been determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the applicable entities’ operations. For each VIE, the primary beneficiary is the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to such VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of each entity, the Company evaluates its power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE by considering the purpose and design of each entity and the risks each entity was designed to create and pass through to its respective variable interest holders. The Company also evaluates its economic interests in each of the VIEs. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding consolidated VIEs.
Other Events — On October 4, 2023, the Company established a new consumer revolving financing program with Comenity Capital Bank, a subsidiary of Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Bread”), under which transactions are originated, owned, serviced, and collected by Bread. Under the agreement, the Company also sold its U.S. consumer revolving customer receivables portfolio for total cash consideration of approximately $390 million resulting in an immaterial gain recognized within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company has no continuing involvement with these receivables, which are serviced by Bread.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Segment Reporting — In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to improve disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments by requiring disclosure of additional information about a reportable segment’s expenses on an annual and interim basis. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Adoption of this new guidance will result in increased disclosures in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Taxes — In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance which requires companies to provide disaggregated income tax disclosures within the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Adoption of this new guidance will result in increased disclosures in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial instruments at fair value.
Money Market Funds — The Company’s investment in money market funds that are classified as cash equivalents hold underlying investments with a weighted average maturity of 90 days or less and are recognized at fair value. The valuations of these securities are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, when available, or pricing models whereby all significant inputs are observable or can be derived from, or corroborated by, observable market data. The Company reviews security pricing and assesses money market fund liquidity on a quarterly basis. As of May 3, 2024, the Company’s portfolio had no material exposure to money market funds with a fluctuating net asset value.
Marketable Equity and Other Securities — The Company’s investments in equity and other securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of strategic investments in publicly-traded companies. The valuation of these securities is based on quoted prices in active markets.
Derivative Instruments — The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist primarily of foreign currency forward and purchased option contracts and interest rate swaps. The fair value of the portfolio is determined using valuation models based on market observable inputs, including interest rate curves, forward and spot prices for currencies, and implied volatilities. Credit risk is also factored into the fair value calculation of the Company’s derivative financial instrument portfolio. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s derivative financial instrument activities.
Deferred Compensation Plans — The Company offers deferred compensation plans for eligible employees, which allow participants to defer a portion of their compensation. Assets were the same as liabilities associated with the plans at approximately $227 million and $214 million as of May 3, 2024 and February 2, 2024, respectively, and are included in other assets and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The net impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income is not material since changes in the fair value of the assets substantially offset changes in the fair value of the liabilities. As such, assets and liabilities associated with these plans have not been included in the recurring fair value table above.

(unaudited)
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis — Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and therefore are not included in the recurring fair value table above. These assets consist primarily of non-financial assets such as goodwill and intangible assets. See Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about goodwill and intangible assets.
As of both May 3, 2024 and February 2, 2024, the Company held strategic investments in non-marketable equity and other securities of $1.3 billion. As these investments represent early-stage companies without readily determinable fair values, they are not included in the recurring fair value table above. See Note 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the Company’s strategic investments.
Carrying Value and Estimated Fair Value of Outstanding Debt — The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt as described in Note 6 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the current portion, as of the dates indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

DFS Debt | $ | 9.0 | | | $ | 8.6 | | | $ | 9.5 | | | $ | 9.1 | |
| | | | | | | |
The fair values of the outstanding debt shown in the table above were determined based on observable market prices in a less active market or based on valuation methodologies using observable inputs and were categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 3 — INVESTMENTS
The Company has strategic investments in equity and other securities as well as investments in fixed income debt securities. All equity and other securities as well as long-term fixed income debt securities are recorded as long-term investments while short-term fixed income debt securities are recorded as other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
Total investments were $1.5 billion as of May 3, 2024 and $1.6 billion as of February 2, 2024.
Equity and Other Securities
Equity and other securities include strategic investments in marketable and non-marketable securities. Investments in marketable securities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company has elected to apply the measurement alternative for non-marketable securities. Under the alternative, the Company measures investments without readily determinable fair values at cost, less impairment, adjusted by observable price changes. The Company makes a separate election to use the alternative for each eligible investment and is required to reassess at each reporting period whether an investment qualifies for the alternative. In evaluating these investments for impairment or observable price changes, the Company uses inputs including pre- and post-money valuations of recent financing events and the impact of those events on its fully diluted ownership percentages, as well as other available information regarding the issuer’s historical and forecasted performance.

NOTE 4 — FINANCIAL SERVICES
The Company offers or arranges various financing options and alternative payment structures for its customers globally. Alternative payment structures consist of various flexible consumption models, including utility, subscription, and as-a-Service models.
Financing options are offered to the Company’s customers primarily through Dell Financial Services and its affiliates (“DFS”). The Company also arranges financing for some of its customers in various countries where DFS does not currently operate as a captive enterprise. The key activities of DFS include originating, collecting, and servicing customer financing arrangements primarily related to the purchase or use of Dell Technologies products and services. In some cases, DFS also offers financing for the purchase of third-party technology products that complement the Dell Technologies portfolio of products and services. New financing originations were $1.9 billion and $1.8 billion for the three months ended May 3, 2024 and May 5, 2023, respectively.
The Company’s lease and loan arrangements with customers are aggregated primarily into the following categories:
Fixed-term leases and loans — The Company enters into financing arrangements with customers who seek lease financing for equipment. DFS leases are generally classified as sales-type leases or operating leases. Leases with business customers have fixed terms of generally two to four years.
The Company also offers fixed-term loans to qualified small businesses, large commercial accounts, governmental organizations, educational entities, and certain individual consumer customers. These loans are repaid in equal payments including interest and have defined terms of generally three to five years. The fair value of the fixed-term loan portfolio is determined using market observable inputs. The carrying value of these loans approximates fair value.
Revolving loans — Revolving loans provide qualified customers with a revolving credit line for the purchase of products and services offered by Dell Technologies. The Company primarily offers revolving loans to small and medium-sized commercial customers. Revolving loans in the United States bear interest at a variable annual percentage rate that is tied to the prime rate. Based on historical payment patterns, revolving loan transactions are typically repaid within twelve months on average. Due to the short-term nature of the revolving loan portfolio, the carrying value of the portfolio approximates fair value.
Flexible consumption models, as defined above, further enable the Company to offer its customers the option to pay over time to provide them with financial and operational flexibility. Such models may result in identification of embedded lease arrangements that lead to the recognition of operating or sales-type leases.

The Company recognizes an allowance for financing receivables losses, including both the lease receivable and unguaranteed residual, in an amount equal to the expected losses net of recoveries. The allowance for financing receivables losses on the lease receivable is determined based on various factors, including lifetime expected losses determined using macroeconomic forecast assumptions and management judgments applicable to and through the expected life of the portfolios as well as past due receivables, receivable type, and customer risk profile. The Company continues to monitor broader economic indicators and their potential impact on future credit loss performance.

Aging is likely to fluctuate as a result of the variability in volume of large transactions entered into over the period, and the administrative processes that accompany those transactions. Aging is also impacted by the timing of the Company’s fiscal period end date relative to calendar month-end customer payment due dates. As a result of these factors, fluctuations in aging from period to period do not necessarily indicate a material change in the collectibility of the portfolio.
Fixed-term consumer and commercial customer receivables are placed on non-accrual status if principal or interest is past due and considered delinquent, or if there is concern about the collectibility of a specific customer receivable. The receivables identified as doubtful for collectibility may be classified as current for aging purposes. Aged revolving portfolio customer receivables identified as delinquent are charged off.

The categories shown in the tables above segregate customer receivables based on the relative degrees of credit risk. Credit quality indicators for revolving and fixed-term accounts are generally updated on a periodic basis.
For the revolving receivables and fixed-term commercial receivables shown in the tables above, an internal grading system is utilized that assigns a credit level score based on a number of considerations, including liquidity, operating performance, and industry outlook. The grading criteria and classifications for the fixed-term products differ from those for the revolving products as loss experience varies between these product and customer groups. The credit quality categories cannot be compared between the different classes as loss experience varies substantially between the classes.

DFS U.S. Debt
Asset-Based Financing Facility — During the three months ended May 3, 2024, the Company consolidated its two separate asset-based financing facilities into a single asset-based financing facility in the United States, which is a revolving facility for fixed-term leases and loans. This debt is collateralized solely by the U.S. loan and lease payments and associated equipment in the facility. The asset-based financing facility consists of two tranches, with effective dates through July 7, 2025 and July 7, 2026. As of May 3, 2024, the total debt capacity related to the asset-based financing facility was $5.0 billion. The debt has a variable interest rate, and the duration of the debt is based on the terms of the underlying loan and lease payment streams. The Company enters into interest swap agreements to effectively convert a portion of this debt from a floating rate to a fixed rate. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the Company’s interest rate swaps.
The asset-based financing facility contains standard structural features related to the performance of the funded receivables, which include defined credit losses, delinquencies, average credit scores, and minimum collection requirements. In the event one or more of these criteria are not met and the Company is unable to restructure the facility, no further funding of receivables will be permitted and the timing of the Company’s expected cash flows from over-collateralization will be delayed. As of May 3, 2024, these criteria were met.
Fixed-Term Securitization Offerings — The Company periodically issues asset-backed debt securities under fixed-term securitization programs to private investors. The asset-backed debt securities are collateralized solely by the U.S. fixed-term lease and loan payments and associated equipment, which are held by Special Purpose Entities (“SPEs”), as discussed below. The interest rate on these securities is fixed and ranged from 2.49% to 6.80% per annum as of May 3, 2024, and the duration of these securities is based on the terms of the underlying lease and loan payment streams.
DFS International Debt
Securitization Facility — The Company maintains a securitization facility in Europe for fixed-term leases and loans. The debt under this facility has a variable interest rate, and the duration of the debt is based on the terms of the underlying loan and lease payment streams. This facility is effective through December 23, 2024 and had a total debt capacity of $858 million as of May 3, 2024.
The securitization facility contains standard structural features related to the performance of the securitized receivables, which include defined credit losses, delinquencies, average credit scores, and minimum collection requirements. In the event one or more of these criteria are not met and the Company is unable to restructure the program, no further funding of receivables will be permitted and the timing of the Company’s expected cash flows from over-collateralization will be delayed. As of May 3, 2024, these criteria were met.
Other Borrowings — In connection with the Company’s international financing operations, the Company has entered into revolving structured financing debt programs related to its fixed-term lease and loan products sold in Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the Middle East. The debt under these programs has a variable interest rate, and the duration of the debt is based on the terms of the underlying loan and lease payment streams. The Canadian facility, which is collateralized solely by Canadian loan and lease payments and associated equipment, had a total debt capacity of $329 million as of May 3, 2024 and is effective through January 16, 2025. The European facility, which is collateralized solely by European loan and lease payments and associated equipment, had a total debt capacity of $536 million as of May 3, 2024 and is effective through June 14, 2025. The Australia and New Zealand facility, which is collateralized solely by Australia and New Zealand loan and lease payments and associated equipment, had a total debt capacity of $295 million as of May 3, 2024 and is effective through April 20, 2025. The Middle East facility, which is collateralized solely by Middle East loan and lease payments and associated equipment, had a total debt capacity of $150 million as of May 3, 2024 and is effective through March 24, 2025.
Note Payable — On May 25, 2022, the Company entered into an unsecured credit agreement to fund receivables in Mexico. As of May 3, 2024, the aggregate principal amount of the note payable was $250 million. The note bore interest at an annual rate of 4.24% and matured and was paid in full on May 31, 2024.

Dell Bank Senior Unsecured Eurobonds — On June 24, 2020, Dell Bank issued 500 million Euro of 1.625% senior unsecured four year eurobonds due June 2024. On October 27, 2021, Dell Bank issued 500 million Euro of 0.5% senior unsecured five year eurobonds due October 2026. On October 18, 2022, Dell Bank issued 500 million Euro of 4.5% senior unsecured five year eurobonds due October 2027. The issuances of the senior unsecured eurobonds support the expansion of the financing operations in Europe.
Variable Interest Entities
In connection with the asset-based financing facility, securitization facility, and fixed-term securitization offerings discussed above, the Company transfers certain U.S. and European lease and loan payments and associated equipment to SPEs that meet the definition of a VIE and are consolidated, along with the associated debt described above, into the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. The SPEs are bankruptcy-remote legal entities with separate assets and liabilities. The purpose of the SPEs is to facilitate the funding of customer loan and lease payments and associated equipment in the capital markets.
Some of the SPEs have entered into financing arrangements with multi-seller conduits that, in turn, issue asset-backed debt securities in the capital markets. DFS debt outstanding held by the consolidated VIEs is collateralized by the lease and loan payments and associated equipment. The Company’s risk of loss related to securitized receivables is limited to the amount by which the Company’s right to receive collections for assets securitized exceeds the amount required to pay interest, principal, and fees and expenses related to the asset-backed securities. The Company provides credit enhancement to the securitization in the form of over-collateralization.
The following table presents the assets and liabilities held by the consolidated VIEs as of the dates indicated, which are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position:

NOTE 5 — LEASES
The Company enters into leasing transactions in which the Company is the lessee. These lease contracts are typically classified as operating leases. The Company’s lease contracts are generally for office buildings used to conduct its business, and the determination of whether such contracts contain leases generally does not require significant estimates or judgments. The Company also leases certain global logistics warehouses, employee vehicles, and equipment. As of May 3, 2024, the remaining terms of the Company’s leases range from one month to approximately ten years. As of May 3, 2024 and February 2, 2024, there were no material finance leases in which the Company was a lessee.
The Company also enters into leasing transactions in which the Company is the lessor, primarily through customer financing arrangements offered through DFS. DFS originates leases that are primarily classified as either sales-type leases or operating leases. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the Company’s lessor arrangements.

Outstanding Debt
Senior Notes — The Company completed offerings of multiple series of senior notes which were issued on June 1, 2016, June 22, 2016, March 20, 2019, April 9, 2020, December 13, 2021, January 24, 2023 and March 18, 2024 in aggregate principal amounts of $20.0 billion, $3.3 billion, $4.5 billion, $2.3 billion, $2.3 billion, $2.0 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes maturities range from 2024 through 2051. Interest rates on these borrowings are fixed, ranging from 3.38% to 8.35%, and interest is payable semiannually.
Legacy Notes — The Company has outstanding unsecured notes and debentures (collectively, the “Legacy Notes”) that were issued by Dell Inc. (“Dell”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Technologies Inc., prior to the acquisition of Dell by Dell Technologies Inc. in the going-private transaction that closed in October 2013. The Legacy Notes’ maturities range from 2028 through 2040. Interest rates on these borrowings are fixed, ranging from 5.40% to 7.10%, and interest is payable semiannually.
DFS Debt — See Note 4 and Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, respectively, for discussion of DFS debt and the interest rate swap agreements that hedge a portion of that debt.
Revolving Credit Facility — The Company’s revolving credit facility provides the Company with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $6.0 billion for general corporate purposes and includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $0.5 billion and a swing-line loan sub-facility of up to $0.5 billion. The revolving credit facility also allows the Company to obtain incremental additional commitments on one or more occasions in minimum amounts of $10 million.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the borrowers’ option, either (a) the specified adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or (b) a base rate. The margin applicable to SOFR and base rate borrowings varies based upon the Company’s existing credit ratings. The base rate is calculated based upon the greatest of the specified prime rate, the specified federal reserve bank rate, or SOFR plus 1%. The borrowers may voluntarily repay outstanding loans at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs. The facility matures on November 1, 2027.
As of May 3, 2024, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

NOTE 7 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
As part of its risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments, primarily foreign currency forward and option contracts and interest rate swaps, to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures, respectively.
The Company’s objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from these exposures with gains and losses on the derivative contracts used to hedge the exposures, thereby reducing volatility of earnings and protecting the fair values of assets and liabilities. The earnings effects of the derivative instruments are presented in the same line items on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the earnings effects of the hedged items. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the Company assesses hedge effectiveness both at the onset of the hedge and at regular intervals throughout the life of the instruments. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the Company assesses hedge effectiveness on qualifying instruments using the shortcut method whereby the hedges are considered perfectly effective at the onset of the hedge and over the life of the hedging relationship.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in its forecasted transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Hedge accounting is applied based upon the criteria established by accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The risk of loss associated with purchased options is limited to premium amounts paid for the option contracts. The risk of loss associated with forward contracts is equal to the exchange rate differential from the time the contract is entered into until the time it is settled. The majority of these contracts typically expire in twelve months or less.
During the three months ended May 3, 2024 and May 5, 2023, the Company did not discontinue any cash flow hedges related to foreign exchange contracts that had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations due to the probability that the forecasted cash flows would not occur.
The Company uses forward contracts to hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency. These contracts generally expire in three months or less, are considered economic hedges, and are not designated for hedge accounting. The change in the fair value of these instruments represents a natural hedge as their gains and losses offset the changes in the underlying fair value of the monetary assets and liabilities due to movements in currency exchange rates.
In connection with DFS operations in Europe, forward contracts are used to hedge financing receivables denominated in foreign currencies other than Euro. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting and most expire within three years or less.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in cash flows related to the interest rate payments on structured financing debt. The interest rate swaps economically convert the variable rate on the structured financing debt to a fixed interest rate to match the underlying fixed rate being received on fixed-term customer leases and loans. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting and most expire within four years or less.
Interest rate swaps are utilized to manage the interest rate risk, at a portfolio level, associated with DFS operations in Europe. The interest rate swaps economically convert the fixed rate on financing receivables to a three-month Euribor floating rate in order to match the floating rate nature of the banks’ funding pool. The Company also uses interest rate swaps to manage the cash flows related to interest payments on Eurobonds. The interest rate swaps economically convert the fixed rate on the Company’s bonds to a floating rate to match the underlying lease repayments profile. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting and most expire within five years or less.
The Company utilizes cross-currency amortizing swaps to hedge the currency and interest rate risk exposure associated with the European securitization program. The cross-currency swaps combine a Euro-based interest rate swap with a British Pound or U.S. Dollar foreign exchange forward contract in which the Company pays a fixed or floating British Pound or U.S. Dollar amount and receives a fixed or floating amount in Euros linked to the one-month Euribor. The notional value of the swaps amortizes in line with the expected cash flows and run-off of the securitized assets. The swaps are not designated for hedge accounting and expire within five years or less.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairment Testing
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually during the third fiscal quarter and whenever events or circumstances may indicate that an impairment has occurred.
For the annual impairment review of the Infrastructure Solutions Group (“ISG”) and Client Solutions Group (“CSG”) reporting units during the third quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company elected to bypass the assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. In electing to bypass the qualitative assessment, the Company proceeded directly to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test to measure the fair value of each goodwill reporting unit relative to its carrying amount, and to determine the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized, if any. For the remaining reporting units, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill at the reporting unit level. The qualitative assessment included consideration of the relevant events and circumstances affecting the reporting unit, including macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, overall financial performance, and trends in the public company market valuation, where applicable.
Management exercised significant judgment related to the above assessments, including the identification of goodwill reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to goodwill reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each goodwill reporting unit. For the quantitative goodwill impairment test, the fair value of each goodwill reporting unit is generally estimated using a combination of public company multiples and discounted cash flow methodologies. The discounted cash flow and public company multiples methodologies require significant judgment, including estimation of future revenues, gross margins, and operating expenses, which are dependent on internal forecasts, current and anticipated economic conditions and trends, selection of market multiples through assessment of the reporting unit’s performance relative to peer competitors, the estimation of the long-term revenue growth rate and discount rate of the Company’s business, and the determination of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the fair value of the goodwill reporting unit, potentially resulting in a non-cash impairment charge.
The fair value of the indefinite-lived trade names is generally estimated using discounted cash flow methodologies. These methodologies require significant judgment, including the estimation of future revenue, the estimation of the long-term revenue growth rate of the Company’s business and the determination of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital and royalty rates. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, potentially resulting in a non-cash impairment charge.
Based on the results of the annual impairment test performed during Fiscal 2024, the fair values of each of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangibles exceeded their carrying values. No goodwill or indefinite-lived assets impairment test was performed during the three months ended May 3, 2024.

NOTE 9 — DEFERRED REVENUE
Deferred revenue consists of support and deployment services, software maintenance, training, Software-as-a-Service, and undelivered hardware and professional services, consisting of installations and consulting engagements. Deferred revenue is recorded when the Company has invoiced or payments have been received for undelivered products or services where transfer of control has not occurred. Revenue is recognized as the Company’s performance obligations under the contract are completed.
The following table presents the changes in the Company’s deferred revenue for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Three Months Ended |
| | | | | May 3, 2024 | | May 5, 2023 |
| | | | | | | |

Deferred revenue: | | | | | | | |
Deferred revenue at beginning of period | | | | | $ | 29,145 | | | $ | 30,286 | |
Revenue deferrals | | | | | 4,469 | | | 4,719 | |
Revenue recognized | | | | | (5,464) | | | (5,310) | |
| | | | | | | |
Deferred revenue at end of period | | | | | $ | 28,150 | | | $ | 29,695 | |
Short-term deferred revenue | | | | | $ | 15,034 | | | $ | 15,527 | |
Long-term deferred revenue | | | | | $ | 13,116 | | | $ | 14,168 | |
Remaining Performance Obligations — Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations not delivered, or partially undelivered, as of the end of the reporting period. Remaining performance obligations include deferred revenue plus unbilled amounts not yet recorded in deferred revenue. The value of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations as of May 3, 2024 was approximately $39 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately 59% of remaining performance obligations as revenue in the next twelve months, and the remainder thereafter.
The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations does not include amounts owed under cancelable contracts where there is no substantive termination penalty. The Company applied the practical expedient to exclude the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts for which revenue is recognized at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.
Remaining performance obligation estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidation, adjustments for revenue that have not materialized, and adjustments for currency.

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
The Company is involved in various claims, suits, assessments, investigations, and legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including those identified below, consisting of matters involving consumer, antitrust, tax, intellectual property, and other issues on a global basis.
The Company accrues a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. The Company reviews these accruals at least quarterly and adjusts them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other relevant information. To the extent new information is obtained and the Company’s views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations, or legal proceedings change, changes in the Company’s accrued liabilities are recorded in the period in which such a determination is made. For some matters, the incurrence of a liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and therefore accruals have not been made.
The following is a discussion of the Company’s significant legal matters and other proceedings:
Class Actions Related to the Class V Transaction — On December 28, 2018, the Company completed a transaction (the “Class V transaction”) in which it paid $14.0 billion in cash and issued 149,387,617 shares of its Class C Common Stock to holders of its Class V Common Stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock. As a result of the Class V transaction, the tracking stock feature of the Company’s capital structure associated with the Class V Common Stock was terminated. Certain stockholders of the Company, subsequently brought class action complaints arising out of the Class V transaction in which they named as defendants (collectively, the “defendants”) Michael S. Dell and certain other directors serving on the Company’s board of directors at the time of the Class V transaction (collectively, the “director defendants”), certain stockholders of the Company, consisting of Mr. Dell and Silver Lake Group, L.L.C. and certain of its affiliated funds (collectively, the “stockholder defendants”), and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), which served as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the transaction. The plaintiffs generally alleged that the director defendants and the stockholder defendants breached their fiduciary duties under Delaware law to the former holders of the Class V Common Stock in connection with the Class V transaction by offering a transaction value that was allegedly billions of dollars below fair value.
As previously reported, during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended February 3, 2023, the plaintiffs and the defendants entered into an agreement to settle the lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement, the plaintiffs agreed to the dismissal of all claims upon payment of a total of $1.0 billion (the “settlement amount”), which includes all costs, expenses and fees of the plaintiff class relating to the action and its resolution. On May 16, 2023, during the fiscal year ended February 2, 2024, the Company paid the settlement amount following approval of the settlement by the Delaware Court of Chancery. This matter is no longer material to the Company.

R2 Semiconductor Patent Litigation — In November 2022, R2 Semiconductor, Inc. (“R2”) filed a lawsuit in the Dusseldorf Regional Court in Germany against Intel Deutschland GmbH, Dell GmbH, and certain other customers of Intel Corporation. R2 asserted that one European patent is infringed by certain Intel processors and those of the Company’s products that incorporate those processors (the “Accused Products”). R2 sought an injunction prohibiting the sale of the allegedly infringing products and damages for the alleged infringement. The Dusseldorf Regional Court (the “Court”) conducted a trial on December 7, 2023, and, on February 7, 2024, issued a decision in favor of R2. The Court’s judgment imposes an injunction prohibiting (among other acts) the sale and use of the Accused Products in Germany by Dell GmbH, and requiring Dell GmbH to issue a communication to certain customers recalling the covered products sold since March 5, 2020. These orders will not take effect until after notice of R2’s payment of the sureties required for enforcement and will remain in place unless stayed or overturned on appeal or until the parties reach an agreement. On February 8, 2024, the Company filed an appeal which is in process with the appellate court. The Court has not yet assessed damages arising out of R2’s claim. In April 2024, R2 filed another action alleging infringement of the same patent in the Judicial Court of Paris, France and seeking an injunction prohibiting the sale of the allegedly infringing products and damages for the alleged infringement. The defendants in the French case include, among others, Intel Corporation and Dell SAS. Additionally, Dell SAS and its co-defendants filed a nullity action against the patent in France. In May 2024, R2 filed a third-party action in the Court of Milan, Italy, against Dell S.p.A., Intel Corporation Italia S.p.A., and other Intel customers alleging infringement of the same patent and seeking similar relief. Intel Corporation has agreed to defend the actions and indemnify the Company and its affiliates against certain losses incurred by the Company in connection with R2’s claims. Given the status of these lawsuits, the nature of the dispute, and the Company’s agreements with Intel Corporation, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the potential loss or range of losses that might arise from the litigations.
Other Litigation — Dell does not currently anticipate that any of the other legal proceedings it is involved in will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
In accordance with the relevant accounting guidance, the Company provides disclosures of matters where it is at least reasonably possible that the Company could experience a material loss exceeding the amounts already accrued for these or other proceedings or matters. In addition, the Company also discloses matters based on its consideration of other matters and qualitative factors, including the experience of other companies in the industry, and investor, customer, and employee relations considerations. As of May 3, 2024, the Company does not believe there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss exceeding the amounts already accrued for these or other proceedings or matters has been incurred. However, since the ultimate resolution of any such proceedings and matters is inherently unpredictable, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows could be materially affected in any particular period by unfavorable outcomes in one or more of these proceedings or matters. Whether the outcome of any claim, suit, assessment, investigation, or legal proceeding, individually or collectively, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows will depend on a number of factors, including the nature, timing, and amount of any associated expenses, amounts paid in settlement, damages, or other remedies or consequences.
Indemnifications Obligations
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into various contracts under which it may agree to indemnify other parties for losses incurred from certain events as defined in the relevant contract, such as litigation, regulatory penalties, or claims relating to past performance. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments related to these indemnification obligations have not been material to the Company.
Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement entered into with VMware, Inc. upon completion of the spin-off of VMware, Inc. by means of a special stock dividend (the “VMware Spin-off”), Dell Technologies agreed to indemnify VMware, Inc., each of its subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, as well as any successors and assigns of the foregoing, from and against all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from, among other matters, the liabilities allocated to Dell Technologies as part of the separation of Dell Technologies and VMware, Inc. (individually and together with its subsidiaries, “VMware”) and their respective businesses (the “Separation”). VMware similarly agreed to indemnify Dell Technologies Inc., each of its subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers, and employees from and against all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from, among other matters, the liabilities allocated to VMware as part of the Separation. The amounts that VMware and Dell Technologies may be obligated to pay each other could vary depending on the outcome of certain unresolved tax matters, which may not be resolved for several years. Net income tax indemnification receivables from VMware were immaterial as of May 3, 2024 and February 2, 2024.

NOTE 11 — INCOME AND OTHER TAXES
For the three months ended May 3, 2024, the Company’s effective income tax rate was (74.6)% on pre-tax income of $0.5 billion compared to 18.0% on pre-tax income of $0.7 billion for the three months ended May 5, 2023. The change in the Company’s effective income tax rate was primarily driven by discrete tax benefits of $0.4 billion related to changes in uncertain tax benefits resulting from the expiration of certain statutes of limitations and $0.2 billion related to stock-based compensation.
The differences between the estimated effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% principally result from the geographical distribution of income, differences between the book and tax treatment of certain items, and discrete tax items. In certain jurisdictions, the Company’s tax rate is significantly less than the applicable statutory rate as a result of tax holidays. The majority of the Company’s foreign income subject to these tax holidays and lower tax rates is attributable to Singapore and China. A significant portion of these income tax benefits relates to a tax holiday that will be effective until January 31, 2029. Most of the Company’s other tax holidays will expire in whole or in part during fiscal years 2030 and 2031. Many of these tax holidays and reduced tax rates may be extended when certain conditions are met or may be terminated early if certain conditions are not met or as a result of changes in tax legislation. As of May 3, 2024, the Company was not aware of any matters of non-compliance related to these tax holidays or enacted tax legislative changes affecting these tax holidays.
In June 2023, the Company received a Revenue Agent’s Report for the examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) of fiscal years 2018 through 2019. The IRS proposed adjustments primarily relating to certain transactions the Company completed as part of its business integration efforts. In August 2023, the Company submitted a written protest to the IRS relating to certain assessments. The Company received a rebuttal from the IRS to its written protest in April 2024. The Company disagrees with the IRS proposed adjustments and will contest them through the IRS administrative appeals procedures. The Company anticipates that the appeals process for the resolution of these matters will extend beyond the next twelve months. In September 2023, the IRS commenced a federal income tax examination of fiscal years 2020 through 2022.
The Company is also currently under income tax audits in various U.S. state and foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company is undergoing negotiations, and in some cases contested proceedings, relating to tax matters with the taxing authorities in these jurisdictions. With respect to major U.S. state and foreign taxing jurisdictions, the Company is generally not subject to tax examinations for years prior to the fiscal year ended January 29, 2010. The Company believes that it has provided adequate reserves related to all matters contained in tax periods open to examination, including the IRS audits described above.
Although the Company believes it has made adequate provisions for the uncertainties with respect to these audits, should the Company experience unfavorable outcomes, such outcomes could have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
Judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s uncertain tax positions and determining the Company’s provision for income taxes. Unrecognized tax benefits were $1.0 billion and $1.3 billion as of May 3, 2024 and February 2, 2024, respectively, and are included in other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company does not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.
The Company takes certain non-income tax positions in the jurisdictions in which it operates and has received certain non-income tax assessments from various jurisdictions. The Company believes that a material loss in these matters is not probable and that it is not reasonably possible that a material loss exceeding amounts already accrued has been incurred. The Company believes its positions in these non-income tax litigation matters are supportable and that it ultimately will prevail in the matters. In the normal course of business, the Company’s positions and conclusions related to its non-income taxes could be challenged and assessments may be made. To the extent new information is obtained and the Company’s views on its positions, probable outcomes of assessments, or litigation change, changes in estimates to the Company’s accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such a determination is made. In the resolution process for income tax and non-income tax audits, the Company is required in certain situations to provide collateral guarantees or indemnification to regulators and tax authorities until the matter is resolved.

NOTE 14 — EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive instruments. The Company excludes equity instruments from the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the effect of including such instruments is antidilutive.

NOTE 15 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Prior to the acquisition on November 22, 2023 of VMware LLC (previously VMware, Inc. and individually and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “VMware”) by Broadcom Inc. (“Broadcom”), VMware was considered a related party of the Company. Upon Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, Mr. Dell’s ownership interest in VMware and his position as Chairman of the Board of VMware terminated, and the Company determined no related party relationship exists with Broadcom or VMware effective as of November 22, 2023. The information provided below includes a summary of related party transactions with VMware for the three months ended May 5, 2023. The Company continues to engage in select transactions with VMware following the completion of Broadcom’s acquisition and the termination of the related party relationship. See Note 16 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Related Party Transactions with VMware
•Dell Technologies integrated or bundled select VMware products and services with Dell Technologies’ products and sold them to end-users. Dell Technologies also acted as a distributor, purchasing VMware’s standalone products and services for resale to end-user customers. Where applicable, costs under these arrangements were presented net of rebates received by Dell Technologies.
•DFS provided financing to certain VMware end-users, which resulted in the recognition of amounts due to related parties on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Associated financing fees were recorded to product net revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and were reflected within sales and leases of products to VMware in the table below.

NOTE 16 — SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable segments that are based on the following business units: Infrastructure Solutions Group (“ISG”) and Client Solutions Group (“CSG”).
ISG includes the Company’s storage, server, and networking offerings. The Company’s comprehensive storage portfolio includes modern and traditional storage solutions, including all-flash arrays, scale-out file, object platforms, hyper-converged infrastructure, and software-defined storage. The Company’s server portfolio includes high-performance general-purpose and AI-optimized servers. The Company’s networking portfolio includes wide area network infrastructure, data center and edge networking switches, and cables and optics. ISG also offers software, peripherals, and services, including consulting and support and deployment.
CSG includes offerings designed for commercial and consumer customers. The Company’s CSG portfolio includes branded PCs including notebooks, desktops, and workstations, branded peripherals, and third-party software and peripherals. CSG also includes services offerings, such as configuration, support and deployment, and extended warranties.
The reportable segments disclosed herein are based on information reviewed by the Company’s management to evaluate the business segment results. The Company’s measure of segment revenue and segment operating income for management reporting purposes excludes operating results of other businesses, unallocated corporate transactions, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and other corporate expenses, as applicable. The Company does not allocate assets to the above reportable segments for internal reporting purposes.
Following its acquisition by Broadcom on November 22, 2023, VMware announced changes to its go-to-market approach for VMware offerings that impacted the Company’s commercial relationship with VMware. On March 25, 2024, the Company terminated the Commercial Framework Agreement (“CFA”) with VMware, which provided the framework under which the Company and VMware continued the commercial relationship following the VMware Spin-off, where Dell Technologies acted as a distributor of VMware’s stand-alone products and services and purchased such products and services for resale to end-user customers (“VMware Resale”). Dell Technologies no longer acts as a distributor of VMware’s standalone products and services, though the Company will continue to support customers that have purchased resale offerings sold in prior periods. The results of VMware Resale transactions are reflected in other businesses. The Company continues to integrate certain VMware products and services with select Dell Technologies’ offerings to end-users. The results of such offerings are reflected within CSG or ISG, depending upon the nature of the underlying offering sold.

INTRODUCTION
Company Overview
Dell Technologies is a global technology company that provides customers with a broad and innovative solutions portfolio to help customers modernize their information technology (“IT”) infrastructure, address workforce transformation, and provide critical solutions that keep people and organizations connected. With our extensive portfolio and our commitment to innovation, we offer secure, integrated solutions that extend from the edge to the core to the cloud, and we are at the forefront of artificial intelligence (“AI”), software-defined, and cloud native infrastructure solutions. Our vision is to become the most essential technology partner. We intend to realize our vision as we execute our strategy to leverage our strengths to extend our leadership positions and capture new growth.
We are organized into two business units which are also our reportable segments: Infrastructure Solutions Group and Client Solutions Group.
•Infrastructure Solutions Group (“ISG”) — ISG includes our storage, server, and networking offerings. Our comprehensive storage portfolio includes modern and traditional storage solutions, including all-flash arrays, scale-out file, object platforms, hyper-converged infrastructure, and software-defined storage. Our server portfolio includes high-performance general-purpose and AI-optimized servers. Our networking portfolio includes wide area network infrastructure, data center and edge networking switches, and cables and optics. ISG also offers software, peripherals, and services, including consulting and support and deployment.
•Client Solutions Group (“CSG”) — CSG includes offerings designed for commercial and consumer customers. Our CSG portfolio includes branded PCs, including notebooks, desktops, and workstations, branded peripherals, and third-party software and peripherals. CSG also includes services offerings, such as configuration, support and deployment, and extended warranties.
Our “other businesses” primarily consist of our resale of standalone offerings of VMware LLC (formerly “VMware, Inc.” and individually and together with its subsidiaries, “VMware”), referred to as “VMware Resale,” and offerings of SecureWorks Corp. (“Secureworks”). These businesses are not classified as reportable segments, either individually or collectively.
For further discussion regarding our current reportable segments, see “Results of Operations — Business Unit Results” and Note 16 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
We offer customers choice in how they acquire our solutions including traditional purchasing and financing offerings provided by Dell Financial Services and its affiliates (“DFS”). We also offer flexible consumption models, that include utility, subscription, and as-a-Service models. These offerings allow our customers to pay over time and provide them with operational and financial flexibility. For additional information about our financing arrangements, see Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
Business Trends and Challenges
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, certain trends and conditions, including the following, continued to affect the environment in which we operate:
•Macroeconomic environment: During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, the macroeconomic environment showed signs of stabilizing as the demand environment improved across a number of our offerings, resulting in overall net revenue growth. While the demand environment improved, the pricing environment became increasingly competitive, which affected our ISG and CSG gross margin performance.
•Advancements in artificial intelligence: Our ISG business continued to benefit from increased demand for AI-optimized solutions due to the impact of AI advancements on customer spending behavior, as organizations look to integrate AI into their operations. Demand for AI-optimized servers outpaced the supply of graphics processing units (“GPUs”) for these products, resulting in elevated backlog levels for such offerings as we exited the quarter.
•Supply Chain: Notwithstanding the elevated demand for AI-optimized solutions, our supply chain operated efficiently during the quarter. We experienced a decline in input costs, which consist of both component and logistics costs.
•Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware: On November 22, 2023, Broadcom Inc. (“Broadcom”) completed its acquisition of VMware, leading to changes to our relationship with VMware as described below. The changes continued to affect our other businesses net revenue for the first quarter of Fiscal 2025.
We expect the demand environment will continue to improve throughout the remainder of Fiscal 2025 as the macroeconomic environment continues to stabilize. While we anticipate the pricing environment will remain competitive throughout Fiscal 2025, we expect net revenue growth for the full fiscal year, driven primarily by net revenue attributable to ISG and, to a lesser extent, net revenue attributable to CSG. We expect ISG net revenue to grow, driven by our AI-optimized servers and continued demand improvement for our traditional servers and storage offerings. We expect CSG net revenue to grow, driven in part by the anticipated PC refresh cycle in the latter part of Fiscal 2025. We expect a continued reduction of our other businesses’ net revenue as we will no longer act as a distributor of VMware’s standalone products and services.
We expect input costs to increase during Fiscal 2025, notably in the second half of the year, principally driven by anticipated inflation for component costs. Input cost trends are dependent on the strength or weakness of actual end-user demand and supply dynamics, which will continue to fluctuate and ultimately impact our costs, pricing, and operating results.
We remain focused on executing our key strategic priorities, building long-term value creation for our stakeholders, and addressing our customers’ needs while continuing to make prudent decisions in response to the environment. We look to balance profitability and growth while maintaining disciplined pricing as we navigate through competitive pricing pressures. We continue to remain committed to disciplined cost management, including limitation of external hiring, employee reorganizations, and other actions to align our investments with our strategic priorities and customer needs.
Throughout the year, we will continue to advance our own capabilities to change the way we work and make decisions, improve business outcomes and the customer experience, and reduce costs by leveraging new technology to streamline our own systems and optimize business processes. We believe our unique operating advantages provide a foundation to foster growth, drive efficiencies, and continue to position us for long-term success.
Relationship with VMware — On November 22, 2023, VMware was acquired by Broadcom, and subsequently announced changes to its go-to-market approach for VMware offerings that impacted our commercial relationship with VMware. On March 25, 2024, the Company terminated the Commercial Framework Agreement (“CFA”) with VMware, which provided the framework under which we and VMware continued our commercial relationship following our spin-off of VMware by means of a special stock dividend. We no longer act as a distributor of VMware’s standalone products and services, though we will continue to support customers that have purchased resale offerings sold in prior periods. The Company continues to integrate certain VMware products and services with select Dell Technologies’ offerings to end-users. The results of such offerings are reflected within CSG or ISG, depending upon the nature of the underlying offering sold.
VMware was a related party until the date of its acquisition by Broadcom. The acquisition terminated the preexisting related party relationship with VMware such that no related party relationship exists with either Broadcom or VMware effective as of November 22, 2023. For more information regarding the impact of the Broadcom acquisition of VMware and our related party transactions with VMware, see Note 15 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
ISG — We expect that ISG will continue to be impacted by the evolving nature of the IT infrastructure market and competitive environment. With our scale and strong solutions portfolio, we believe we are well-positioned to address the ongoing competitive dynamics and trends in technology and customer needs. Through our collaborative, customer-focused approach to innovation, we strive to deliver new and relevant solutions and software to our customers quickly and efficiently. We continue to focus on customer base expansion and the lifetime value of customer relationships.
We anticipate that ISG will continue to benefit from technology advances and customer interest in AI. Through our server and networking and storage offerings, including our AI-optimized solutions, we are well-positioned to capture growth and support our customers’ needs.
We expect that growth in data will continue to generate long-term demand for our storage solutions and services. Cloud native applications are expected to continue to be a key trend in the infrastructure market. We continue to expand our offerings in external storage arrays, which incorporate flexible, cloud-based functionality. We benefit from offering solutions that address software-defined storage, hyper-converged infrastructure, and modular solutions based on server-centric architectures. Our storage business is subject to seasonal trends, which may continue to impact ISG results.
CSG — We participate in all segments of the PC market but focus on commercial and high-end consumer computing devices, as we believe they represent the most stable and profitable markets. We anticipate that CSG will benefit from advances in AI over the long-term as customers will require PCs with the ability to run their complex AI workloads.
Competitive dynamics continue to be an important factor in our CSG business and continue to impact pricing and operating results. We remain committed to our long-term CSG strategy and will continue to make investments to innovate across the portfolio. We expect that the CSG demand environment will continue to be subject to seasonal trends.
Recurring Revenue and Consumption Models — We expect that our flexible consumption models will further strengthen our customer relationships and provide a foundation for growth in recurring revenue. We define recurring revenue as revenue recognized that is primarily related to hardware and software maintenance as well as operating leases, subscription, as-a-Service, and usage-based offerings.
Strategic Investments and Acquisitions — As part of our strategy, we will continue to evaluate opportunities for strategic investments through our venture capital investment arm, Dell Technologies Capital, with a focus on emerging technology areas that are relevant to our business. The technologies or products these companies have under development are typically in the early stages and may never have commercial value, which could result in a loss of a substantial part of our investment in the companies.
Foreign Currency Exposure — We manage our business on a U.S. dollar basis. However, we have a large global presence, generating approximately half of our net revenue from sales to customers outside of the United States during the first quarter of Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024. As a result, our operating results can be, and particularly in recent periods have been, impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We utilize a comprehensive hedging strategy intended to mitigate the impact of foreign currency volatility over time, and we adjust pricing when possible to further minimize foreign currency impacts.
Other Macroeconomic Risks and Uncertainties — The impacts of trade protection measures, including increases in tariffs and trade barriers, changes in government policies and international trade arrangements, geopolitical volatility, and global macroeconomic conditions (including those in China), may affect our ability to conduct business in some non-U.S. markets. We monitor and seek to mitigate these risks with adjustments to our manufacturing, supply chain, and distribution networks.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In this management’s discussion and analysis, we use supplemental measures of our performance which are derived from our consolidated financial information but which are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP product gross margin; non-GAAP services gross margin; non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP operating expenses; non-GAAP operating income; non-GAAP net income; non-GAAP earnings per share attributable to Dell Technologies Inc. - diluted; free cash flow; and adjusted free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance or liquidity in isolation from or as a substitute for gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, net income, diluted earnings per share, or cash flows from operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis.
We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in financial planning and forecasting and when evaluating our financial results and operating trends and performance. We believe, when used supplementally with GAAP financial measures, these non-GAAP financial measures provide our investors with useful and transparent information to help them evaluate our results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our results of operations and enabling them to make period to period comparisons. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
Non-GAAP product gross margin, non-GAAP services gross margin, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP earnings per share attributable to Dell Technologies Inc. - diluted, as defined by us, exclude amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, other corporate expenses and, for non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share attributable to Dell Technologies Inc. - diluted, fair value adjustments on equity investments and an aggregate adjustment for income taxes. As the excluded items may have a material impact on our financial results, our management compensates for this limitation by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures supplementally or for projections when comparable GAAP financial measures are not available.
Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented below. We encourage you to review the reconciliations in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. The discussion below includes information on each of the excluded items as well as our reasons for excluding them from our non-GAAP results. In future fiscal periods, we may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items. Accordingly, the exclusion of these items and other similar items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual.
The following is a summary of the items excluded from the most comparable GAAP financial measures to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures.
•Amortization of Intangible Assets — Amortization of intangible assets primarily consists of the amortization of customer relationships, developed technology, and trade names. In connection with our acquisition by merger of EMC, referred to as the “EMC merger transaction,” and the acquisition of Dell Inc. by Dell Technologies Inc., referred to as the “going-private transaction,” all of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of EMC and Dell Inc. and their consolidated subsidiaries, respectively, were accounted for and recognized at fair value on the transaction dates. We exclude amortization charges for the amortization of intangible assets as they do not reflect our current operating performance and charges are significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions and, as a result, may vary in amount from period to period.
•Stock-based Compensation Expense — Stock-based compensation expense consists of equity awards granted based on the estimated fair value of those awards at grant date. To estimate the fair value of performance-based awards containing a market condition, we use the Monte Carlo valuation model. For other share-based awards, the fair value is generally based on the closing price of the Class C Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant. Although stock-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation of our employees and executives, we exclude such expense because the fair value of the stock-based awards may fluctuate based on factors unrelated to the operating performance of the business and may bear little resemblance to the actual value realized upon the vesting or future exercise of the related stock-based awards.
•Other Corporate Expenses — Other corporate expenses consist primarily of severance expenses, payroll taxes associated with stock-based compensation, facility action costs, transaction-related expenses, impairment charges, and incentive charges related to equity investments. Severance costs are primarily related to severance and benefits for employees terminated pursuant to cost management initiatives. Transaction-related expenses typically consist of acquisition, integration, and divestitures related costs, primarily representing costs for legal, banking, consulting, and advisory services, and are expensed as incurred. Although we may incur these types of expenses in the future, we exclude other corporate expenses as they can vary from period to period, are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of these events, and are not used by management in assessing operating performance of the business.
•Fair Value Adjustments on Equity Investments — Fair value adjustments on equity investments primarily consist of the gain (loss) on strategic investments, which includes recurring fair value adjustments of investments in publicly-traded companies, as well as those in privately-held companies, which are adjusted for observable price changes and any potential impairments. See Note 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information on our strategic investment activity. We exclude fair value adjustments on equity investments given the volatility in ongoing adjustments to the valuation of these strategic investments and because such adjustments are unrelated to the operating performance of our business.
•Aggregate Adjustment for Income Taxes — The aggregate adjustment for income taxes is the estimated combined income tax effect for the adjustments described above and determined based on the tax jurisdictions where those adjustments were incurred, as well as an adjustment for discrete tax items. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, the aggregate adjustment for income taxes included discrete tax benefits of $0.4 billion related to changes in uncertain tax benefits resulting from the expiration of certain statutes of limitations and $0.2 billion related to stock-based compensation. We exclude these benefits or charges for purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income due to the variability in recognition of discrete tax items from period to period. The tax effects are determined based on the tax jurisdictions where the above items were incurred. See Note 11 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our income taxes. Beginning in Fiscal 2025, our non-GAAP income tax is calculated using a fixed estimated annual tax rate which is determined based on historical trends and projections for the current fiscal year. We may adjust our estimated annual tax rate during the fiscal year to take into account events that would significantly impact our income tax expense, including significant changes resulting from tax legislation, material changes in geographic mix of revenue and expenses, changes to our corporate structure, and other significant events.

In addition to the above measures, we use free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow as non-GAAP liquidity measures to evaluate our performance. As presented in the following table, we define free cash flow to consist of cash flow from operations after excluding capital expenditures and capitalized software costs, net. To measure adjusted free cash flow, we exclude the impact of financing receivables and equipment under operating leases from free cash flow, as the initial funding of these DFS offerings at the time of origination is largely subsequently replaced with cash inflows from our DFS debt, the majority of which is asset-backed.
Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow provide useful information to management and investors in part because we use these metrics in our long-term capital allocation framework. Further, we believe free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are useful measures to management and investors because they reflect cash that we can use, among other purposes, to repurchase common stock, pay dividends on our common stock, invest in our business, pay down debt, and make strategic acquisitions.
As is the case with the non-GAAP measures presented above, users should consider the limitations of using free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow, including the fact that those measures do not provide a complete measure of our cash flows for any period. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow do not purport to be alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. In particular, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as these measures do not reflect certain cash requirements, such as debt service requirements and other contractual commitments.
The following table presents a reconciliation of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow to cash from operating activities for the periods indicated:

Overview
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, net revenue increased by 6%, driven by an increase in ISG net revenue, that was partially offset by a decrease in other businesses net revenue. The increase in ISG net revenue was primarily attributable to growth in our AI-optimized server offerings. Other businesses net revenue declined primarily due to a decrease in VMware Resale revenue driven by the change in our distributor relationship with VMware.
Operating income and non-GAAP operating income decreased by 14% to $0.9 billion and 8% to $1.5 billion, respectively, during the first quarter of Fiscal 2025. The declines were primarily driven by a decrease in CSG operating income from our commercial offerings and, to a lesser extent, our consumer offerings.
During the first three months of Fiscal 2025, both operating income and non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of net revenue decreased 100 basis points to 4.1% and 6.6%, respectively. These decreases reflected a decline in gross margin as a percentage of net revenue, as a result of a competitive pricing environment coupled with a shift in mix towards AI-optimized server offerings. The decreases in operating income and non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of net revenue were offset by a decrease in operating expense rate that was driven by strong ISG net revenue growth coupled with continued disciplined cost management.
Cash provided by operating activities was $1.0 billion during the first three months of Fiscal 2025, and was primarily driven by profitability partially offset by annual incentive-based personnel-related payments. Cash provided by operating activities was also impacted by other working capital dynamics, including strong cash collections performance, a shift in mix of the business, and timing of purchases and payments to vendors. During the first three months of Fiscal 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $1.8 billion, which primarily reflected strong working capital performance as we reduced inventory and accounts receivable. See “Liquidity, Cash Requirements, and Market Conditions” for additional information about our cash flow metrics.
We continue to see opportunities to create value and grow as we respond to long-term demand for our IT solutions driven by a data and AI-enabled world. We have demonstrated our ability to adjust to changing market conditions with complementary solutions and innovation across both segments of our business, an agile workforce, and the strength of our global supply chain. As we continue to innovate and modernize our offerings, we believe that Dell Technologies is well-positioned for long-term profitable growth.
Net Revenue
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, net revenue increased 6%, primarily driven by an increase in ISG net revenue that was partially offset by a decrease in other businesses net revenue. See “Business Unit Results” for further information.
•Product Net Revenue — Product net revenue includes revenue from the sale of hardware products and software licenses. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, product net revenue increased 7%, due to an increase in ISG product net revenue, partially offset by a decline in CSG and other businesses product net revenue. ISG product net revenue increased due to growth in our AI-optimized server offerings. CSG product net revenue decreased as the decline in our average selling prices of our CSG offerings outpaced the favorable impact of an increase in units sold. Other businesses product net revenue declined driven by the change in our distributor relationship with VMware.
•Services Net Revenue — Services net revenue includes revenue from our services offerings and support services related to hardware products and software licenses. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, services net revenue increased 4%, driven primarily by growth within services net revenue attributable to CSG, partially offset by a decline in other businesses services net revenue. The increase in CSG services net revenue was primarily attributable to third-party software support and maintenance and support and maintenance associated with products sold in prior periods. Other businesses services net revenue declined driven by the change in our distributor relationship with VMware.
A substantial portion of services net revenue is derived from offerings that have been deferred over a period of time, and, as a result, reported growth rates for services net revenue will be different than reported growth rates for product net revenue.
From a geographical perspective, net revenue increased in the Americas and decreased in EMEA and APJ during the first quarter of Fiscal 2025.
Gross Margin
During the first three months of Fiscal 2025, gross margin and non-GAAP gross margin both decreased 4% to $4.8 billion and $4.9 billion, respectively. The declines in gross margin and non-GAAP gross margin were driven by a decrease in CSG gross margin that was primarily attributable to a competitive pricing environment. The competitive pricing environment resulted in a decrease in the average selling prices of our CSG offerings that outpaced the favorable impact of an increase in units sold.
Gross margin and non-GAAP gross margin percentage decreased 240 basis points and 250 basis points to 21.6% and 22.2%, respectively, during the first three months of Fiscal 2025. The decreases in gross margin percentage and non-GAAP gross margin percentage were driven by a competitive pricing environment coupled with a shift in mix towards AI-optimized server offerings.
•Product Gross Margin — During the first three months of Fiscal 2025, product gross margin and non-GAAP product gross margin decreased 11% and 12%, respectively, to $2.4 billion. The decreases were primarily driven by a decline in CSG product gross margin, which was primarily attributable to the decline in the average selling prices of our CSG offerings as a result of a competitive pricing environment.
During the first three months of Fiscal 2025, product gross margin percentage and non-GAAP product gross margin percentage decreased 310 basis points and 330 basis points to 14.6% and 15.1%, respectively, due to a competitive pricing environment coupled with a decline in ISG product gross margin percentage due to a shift in mix towards AI-optimized server offerings.
•Services Gross Margin — During the first three months of Fiscal 2025, services gross margin and non-GAAP services gross margin both increased 4% to $2.4 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively. The increases were primarily attributable to growth within CSG services gross margin that was driven by hardware and third-party software support and maintenance as well as support and maintenance associated with products sold in prior periods.
During the first three months of Fiscal 2025, services gross margin percentage remained flat at 40.0% and non-GAAP services gross margin percentage increased 20 basis points to 41.0%, primarily due to an increase in other businesses services gross margin percentage, which was offset by a decrease in CSG services gross margin percentage.
Vendor Programs
Our gross margin is affected by our ability to achieve competitive pricing with our vendors and contract manufacturers, including through our negotiation of a variety of vendor rebate programs to achieve lower net costs for the various components we include in our products. Under these programs, vendors provide us with rebates or other discounts from the list prices for the components, which are generally elements of their pricing strategy. We account for vendor rebates and other discounts as a reduction in cost of net revenue. We manage our costs on a total net cost basis, which includes supplier list prices reduced by vendor rebates and other discounts.
The terms and conditions of our vendor rebate programs are largely based on product volumes and are generally negotiated either at the beginning of the annual or quarterly period, depending on the program. The timing and amount of vendor rebates and other discounts we receive under the programs may vary from period to period, reflecting changes in the competitive environment. We monitor our component costs and seek to address the effects of any changes to terms that might arise under our vendor rebate programs. Our gross margins for the first quarter of Fiscal 2025 were not materially affected by any changes to the terms of our vendor rebate programs, as the amounts we received under these programs were generally stable relative to our total net cost. We are not aware of any significant changes to our vendor rebate programs that will materially impact our results in the near term.
Operating Expenses
The following table presents information regarding our operating expenses for the periods indicated:

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, total operating expenses decreased 2%, due to a decline in selling, general, and administrative expenses.
•Selling, General, and Administrative — During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased 4%, driven by a decrease in employee compensation and benefits expense, principally due to a decline in overall headcount and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in advertising expenses as a result of continued disciplined cost management.
•Research and Development — Research and development (“R&D”) expenses are primarily composed of personnel-related expenses incurred in connection with product development. R&D expenses increased 11% during the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, principally due to an increase in R&D-related employee compensation and benefits expense.
As a percentage of net revenue, R&D expenses for the first three months of Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 were 3.4% and 3.3%, respectively. The increase in R&D expenses as a percentage of net revenue was attributable to continued support of R&D initiatives.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, non-GAAP operating expenses decreased 3%, driven by a decline in employee compensation and benefits expense, primarily resulting from a decline in overall headcount, and advertising expenses due to continued disciplined cost management, partially offset by continued support of R&D initiatives.
We continue to make strategic investments designed to enable growth, marketing, and R&D, while balancing our efforts to drive cost efficiencies in the business. We also expect to continue making investments in support of our own digital transformation which aims to streamline and optimize our business processes.
Operating Income
Operating income and non-GAAP operating income decreased by 14% to $0.9 billion and 8% to $1.5 billion, respectively, during the first quarter of Fiscal 2025. The declines were primarily driven by a decrease in CSG operating income from our commercial offerings and, to a lesser extent, our consumer offerings.
During the first three months of Fiscal 2025, both operating income and non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of net revenue decreased 100 basis points to 4.1% and 6.6%, respectively. These decreases reflected a decline in gross margin as a percentage of net revenue, as a result of a competitive pricing environment coupled with a shift in mix towards AI-optimized server offerings. The decreases in operating income and non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of net revenue were offset by a decrease in operating expense rate that was driven by strong ISG net revenue growth coupled with continued disciplined cost management.
Interest and Other, Net

| | | | | | | | | |
The change in interest and other, net was unfavorable, primarily as a result of an increase in debt extinguishment fees coupled with the impact of fair value adjustments on our non-marketable strategic investments portfolio during the first quarter of Fiscal 2025. Unfavorable impacts within interest and other, net were partially offset by a reduction in interest expense.
Income and Other Taxes
The following table presents information regarding our income and other taxes for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Three Months Ended |
| | | | | May 3, 2024 | | May 5, 2023 | | |

Income tax expense (benefit) | | | | | $ | (408) | | | $ | 127 | | | |
Effective income tax rate | | | | | (74.6) | % | | 18.0 | % | | |
For the first three months of Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, our effective income tax rate was (74.6)% and 18.0%, respectively. The change in our effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to discrete tax benefits of $0.4 billion related to changes in uncertain tax benefits resulting from the expiration of certain statutes of limitations and $0.2 billion related to stock-based compensation.
Our effective income tax rate can fluctuate depending on the geographic distribution of our worldwide earnings, as our foreign earnings are generally taxed at lower rates than in the United States. The differences between our effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% principally result from the geographical distribution of income, differences between the book and tax treatment of certain items, and discrete tax items. In certain jurisdictions, our tax rate is significantly less than the applicable statutory rate as a result of tax holidays. The majority of our foreign income subject to these tax holidays is attributable to Singapore and China. A significant portion of these income tax benefits relates to a tax holiday that will be effective until January 31, 2029. Most of our other tax holidays will expire in whole or in part during Fiscal 2030 and Fiscal 2031. Many of these tax holidays and reduced tax rates may be extended when certain conditions are met or may be terminated early if certain conditions are not met or as a result of changes in tax legislation. As of May 3, 2024, we were not aware of any matters of non-compliance or enacted tax legislative changes affecting these tax holidays.
Many countries have enacted or are in the process of enacting laws based on the Pillar Two proposal relating to global minimum tax issued by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”). While we expect our effective income tax rate and cash income tax payments could increase in future years as a result of the global minimum tax, we do not expect it will have a material impact to our Fiscal 2025 consolidated results of operations. Our assessment could be affected by legislative guidance and future enactment of additional provisions within the Pillar Two framework, particularly in countries in which we have tax holidays and incentives.
For further discussion regarding tax matters, including the status of income tax audits, see Note 11 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
Net Income
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, net income increased 65% to $1.0 billion, driven primarily by the impact of an income tax benefit, which was partially offset by a decline in operating income.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, non-GAAP net income decreased 4% to $0.9 billion, driven by a decline in operating income, which was partially offset by a decline in income tax expense.
Business Unit Results
Our reportable segments are based on the ISG and CSG business units. A description of our business units is provided under “Introduction.” See Note 16 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for a reconciliation of net revenue and operating income by reportable segment to consolidated net revenue and consolidated operating income, respectively.

Net Revenue — During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, ISG net revenue increased 22% driven by strength in our servers and networking offerings.
Revenue from sales of servers and networking increased 42% and storage revenue remained flat during the first quarter of Fiscal 2025. The increase in servers and networking revenue was driven by growth in our AI-optimized server offerings.
From a geographical perspective, net revenue attributable to ISG increased most notably in the Americas and, to a lesser extent, in APJ, and decreased in EMEA during the first quarter of Fiscal 2025.
Operating Income — During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, ISG operating income as a percentage of net revenue decreased 170 basis points to 8.0%, principally due to a decrease in gross margin rate as a percentage of net revenue. Gross margin rate decreased as a result of a competitive pricing environment coupled with a shift in mix towards AI-optimized server offerings. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net revenue was offset by a decrease in operating expense as a percentage of net revenue primarily due to continued disciplined cost management.

Net Revenue — During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, CSG net revenue was flat as the impact of an increase in units sold was offset by a decrease in the average selling prices of our offerings due to a competitive pricing environment.
Commercial net revenue increased 3% during the first quarter of Fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in units sold which was partially offset by the decrease in the average selling prices of our commercial offerings.
Consumer net revenue decreased 15% during the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, principally due to a decline in the average selling price of our consumer offerings.
From a geographical perspective, net revenue attributable to CSG decreased in APJ, and increased in EMEA and the Americas during the first quarter of Fiscal 2025.
Operating Income — During the first three months of Fiscal 2025, CSG operating income as a percentage of net revenue decreased 130 basis points to 6.1%, primarily due to a decrease in the average selling prices of our offerings as a result of a competitive pricing environment. The impact of these factors was offset by a decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue, which declined as a result of continued disciplined cost management.
OTHER BALANCE SHEET ITEMS
Accounts Receivable
We sell products and services directly to customers and through a variety of sales channels, including retail distribution. Our accounts receivable, net, was $8.6 billion and $9.3 billion as of May 3, 2024 and February 2, 2024, respectively. The reduction in accounts receivable, net, was driven primarily by strong cash collections performance. We maintain an allowance for expected credit losses to cover receivables that may be deemed uncollectible. The allowance for expected credit losses is an estimate based on an analysis of historical loss experience, current receivables aging, and management’s assessment of current conditions and its reasonable and supportable expectation of future conditions, as well as specific identifiable customer accounts that are deemed at risk. As of May 3, 2024 and February 2, 2024, the allowance for expected credit losses was $66 million and $71 million, respectively. Based on our assessment, we believe that we are adequately reserved for expected credit losses.
Dell Financial Services and Financing Receivables
We offer or arrange various financing options and services for our customers globally, including through captive financing operations. DFS originates, collects, and services customer receivables primarily related to the purchase of our product, software, and service solutions. We further strengthen customer relationships through flexible consumption models, including utility, subscription, and as-a-Service models, which enable our customers the option to pay over time to provide them with financial and operational flexibility. New financing originations were $1.9 billion and $1.8 billion for the first quarter of Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively.
Our leases are generally classified as sales-type leases or operating leases. On commencement of sales-type leases, we recognize profit up-front, and recognize amounts due from the customer under the lease contract as financing receivables. Interest income is recognized as net product revenue over the term of the lease. Upon origination of operating leases, we record equipment under operating leases, classified as property, plant, and equipment. We recognize product revenue and depreciation expense, classified as cost of net revenue, over the contract term.
As of May 3, 2024 and February 2, 2024, our financing receivables, net were $10.6 billion and $10.5 billion, respectively. We maintain an allowance to cover expected financing receivable credit losses and evaluate credit loss expectations based on our total portfolio. For the first quarter of Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, the principal charge-off rate for our financing receivables portfolio was 0.3% and 0.5%, respectively. The credit quality of our financing receivables remains strong due to the mix of high-quality commercial accounts in our portfolio. We continue to monitor broader economic indicators and their potential impact on future credit loss performance. We have an extensive process to manage our exposure to customer credit risk, including active management of credit lines and our collection activities. We also sell selected fixed-term financing receivables without recourse to unrelated third parties on a periodic basis, primarily to manage certain concentrations of customer credit exposure. Based on our assessment of the customer financing receivables, we believe that we are adequately reserved.
We retain a residual interest in equipment leased under our lease programs. As of May 3, 2024 and February 2, 2024, the residual interest recorded as part of financing receivables was $163 million and $157 million, respectively. The amount of the residual interest is established at the inception of the lease based upon estimates of the value of the equipment at the end of the lease term using historical studies, industry data, and future value-at-risk demand valuation methods. On a quarterly basis, we assess the carrying amount of our recorded residual values for expected losses. Generally, expected losses as a result of residual value risk on equipment under lease are not considered to be significant primarily because of the existence of a secondary market with respect to the equipment. Further, the lease agreement defines applicable return conditions and remedies for non-compliance to ensure that the leased equipment will be in good operating condition upon return. No expected losses were recorded related to residual assets during the first quarter of Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024.
As of May 3, 2024 and February 2, 2024, equipment under operating leases, net was $2.1 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively. We assess the carrying amount of the equipment under operating leases for impairment whenever events or circumstances may indicate that an impairment has occurred. No material impairment losses were recorded related to such equipment during the first quarter of Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024.
DFS offerings are initially funded through cash on hand at the time of origination, most of which is subsequently replaced with asset-backed financing. For DFS offerings which qualify as sales-type leases, the initial funding of financing receivables is reflected as an impact to cash flows from operations and is largely subsequently offset by cash proceeds from financing. For DFS operating leases, the initial funding is classified as a capital expenditure and reflected as an impact to cash flows used in investing activities.
See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our financing receivables and the associated allowances, and equipment under operating leases.
LIQUIDITY, CASH REQUIREMENTS, AND MARKET CONDITIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We rely on operating cash flows, which are impacted by trends in the demand environment, as our primary source of liquidity for our ongoing business operations. We monitor the efficiency of our balance sheet to ensure that we have adequate liquidity to support our business and strategic initiatives.
In addition to internally generated cash, we have access to other capital sources to finance our strategic initiatives and fund growth in our financing operations. Our strategy is to deploy capital from any potential source, whether internally generated cash or debt, depending on the adequacy and availability of that source of capital and whether it can be accessed in a cost-effective manner.
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, together with cash that will be provided by future operations and borrowings and issuances expected to be available under our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program, respectively, will be sufficient over the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter to meet our material cash requirements, including funding of our operations, debt-related payments, capital expenditures, and other corporate needs.
As part of our overall capital allocation strategy, we intend to return capital to our stockholders through both share repurchase programs and dividend payments and use the remaining available cash to drive growth and maintain our investment grade credit rating.
The following table presents our cash and cash equivalents as well as our available borrowings as of the dates indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| May 3, 2024 | | February 2, 2024 |
| | | |
| (in millions) |
Cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings: | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 5,830 | | | $ | 7,366 | |
Remaining available borrowings under the revolving credit facility | 5,999 | | | 5,999 | |
Total cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings | $ | 11,829 | | | $ | 13,365 | |
During the first three months of Fiscal 2025, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.5 billion primarily due to the return of capital to our stockholders, capital expenditures, payments to settle employee tax withholdings, and net repayment of DFS debt, the effect of which was partially offset by cash flows from operations.
As of May 3, 2024, our revolving credit facility had a maximum capacity of $6.0 billion. Available borrowings under this facility are reduced by draws on the facility and outstanding letters of credit. As of May 3, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility and remaining available borrowings totaled approximately $6.0 billion. The revolving credit facility also acts as a backstop to provide liquidity support for our commercial paper program.
We maintain a commercial paper program under which we may issue unsecured notes in a maximum aggregate face amount of $5.0 billion outstanding at any time, with maturities up to 397 days from the date of issue. As of May 3, 2024, we had no outstanding issuances under the program.
We may regularly use our available borrowings from the revolving credit facility and issuances under the commercial paper program on a short-term basis for general corporate purposes. See the following discussion for additional information about our debt.
Debt

Total debt, carrying value | $ | 25,480 | | | $ | (514) | | | $ | 25,994 | |
The outstanding principal amount of our debt decreased $0.5 billion to $25.7 billion as of May 3, 2024, driven primarily by net repayments on DFS debt.
We define core debt as the total principal amount of our debt, less DFS related debt and other debt. Our core debt was $14.5 billion and $14.9 billion as of May 3, 2024 and February 2, 2024, respectively. See Note 6 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our debt.
DFS related debt primarily represents debt from our securitization and structured financing programs. Our risk of loss under these programs is limited to transferred lease and loan payments and associated equipment, as the credit holders have no recourse to Dell Technologies.
To fund expansion of the DFS business, we balance the use of the securitization and structured financing programs with other sources of liquidity. We approximate the amount of our core debt used to fund the DFS business by applying a 7:1 debt-to-equity ratio to the sum of our financing receivables balance and equipment under operating leases, net. The debt-to-equity ratio is based on the underlying credit quality of the assets. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our DFS debt.
We believe we will continue to be able to make our debt principal and interest payments, including payment of short-term maturities, from existing and expected sources of cash, primarily from operating cash flows. Cash used for debt principal and interest payments may include short-term borrowings under our commercial paper program, our revolving credit facility, or other borrowings. Under our variable-rate debt, we could experience variations in our future interest expense from potential fluctuations in applicable reference rates, or from possible fluctuations in the level of DFS debt required to meet future demand for customer financing.
At our sole discretion, we may purchase, redeem, prepay, refinance, or otherwise retire any amount of our outstanding indebtedness under the terms of such indebtedness at any time and from time to time, in open market or negotiated transactions with the holders of such indebtedness or otherwise, as we consider appropriate in light of market conditions and other relevant factors.

Operating Activities — Cash provided by operating activities was $1.0 billion during the first three months of Fiscal 2025, and was primarily driven by profitability, partially offset by annual incentive-based personnel-related payments. Cash provided by operating activities was also impacted by other working capital dynamics, including strong cash collections performance, a shift in mix of the business, and timing of purchases and payments to vendors. During the first three months of Fiscal 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $1.8 billion, which primarily reflected strong working capital performance as we reduced inventory and accounts receivable. The impact of strong working capital performance was partially offset by the effect of a decline in revenue and annual incentive-based personnel-related payments.
Investing Activities — Investing activities primarily consist of cash used to fund capital expenditures for property, plant, and equipment inclusive of equipment under DFS operating leases and equipment used to support our as-a-Service offerings, which we refer to collectively as assets in a customer contract. Additional activities may include capitalized software development costs, acquisitions and divestitures, and the maturities, sales, and purchases of investments. Cash used in investing activities was $0.5 billion and $0.7 billion during the first three months of Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively, and was primarily applied to capital expenditures.
Financing Activities — Financing activities primarily consist of the proceeds and repayments of debt and return of capital to our stockholders. Cash used in financing activities was $2.1 billion during the first three months of Fiscal 2025 and primarily consisted of repurchases of common stock, inclusive of payments to settle employee tax withholdings on stock-based compensation, net repayments on DFS debt, and the payment of quarterly dividends. During the first three months of Fiscal 2024, cash used in financing activities was $2.0 billion and primarily consisted of principal repayments of our senior notes, repurchases of common stock, inclusive of payments to settle employee tax withholdings on stock-based compensation, and the payment of quarterly dividends.
DFS Cash Flow Impacts — DFS offerings are initially funded through cash on hand at the time of origination, most of which is subsequently replaced with asset-backed financing. For DFS offerings that qualify as sales-type leases, the initial funding of financing receivables is reflected as an impact to cash flows from operations and is largely subsequently offset by cash proceeds from financing. For operating leases, the initial funding is classified as a capital expenditure and reflected as cash flows used in investing activities. DFS new financing originations were $1.9 billion and $1.8 billion during the first three months of Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively. As of May 3, 2024, we had $10.6 billion of total net financing receivables and $2.1 billion of equipment under operating leases, net.
Supply Chain Finance Program — We maintain a Supply Chain Finance Program (the “SCF Program”) that enables eligible suppliers to sell receivables due from us to a third-party financial institution at the suppliers’ sole discretion. The SCF Program does not impact our liquidity, as payments by us to participating suppliers are remitted to the financial institution on the original invoice due date. Further, we negotiate payment terms with our suppliers regardless of their decision to participate in the SCF Program. Payments made under the SCF Program are included in cash flows from operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 17 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information regarding the SCF Program.

Capital Expenditures — We spent $0.6 billion and $0.7 billion during the first three months of Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively, on property, plant, and equipment and capitalized software development costs. Of total expenditures incurred, funding of assets in a customer contract totaled $0.3 billion during both the first three months of Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024. Product demand, product mix, the use of contract manufacturers, and ongoing investments in operating and information technology infrastructure influence the level and prioritization of our capital expenditures.
Repurchases of Common Stock — Effective as of September 23, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program with no fixed expiration date under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $5.0 billion of shares of our Class C Common Stock. Effective as of October 5, 2023, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of an additional $5.0 billion of shares of the Class C Common Stock with no fixed expiration date. Following the additional approval, we had approximately $5.7 billion in cumulative authorized amount remaining under the stock repurchase program.
During the first three months of Fiscal 2025, we repurchased approximately 6.7 million shares of Class C Common Stock for a total purchase price of approximately $0.7 billion. During the first three months of Fiscal 2024, we repurchased approximately 6.1 million shares of Class C Common Stock for a total purchase price of approximately $0.3 billion.
Dividend Payments — On February 29, 2024, we announced that the Board of Directors approved a 20% increase in the dividend rate to $0.445 per share per fiscal quarter beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 2025. During both the first three months of Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, the Company paid $0.3 billion, in dividends and dividend equivalents at a rate of $0.445 and $0.37 per share per fiscal quarter, respectively.
Purchase Obligations — Purchase obligations are defined as contractual obligations to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on us. These obligations specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations do not include contracts that may be canceled without penalty.
We utilize several suppliers to manufacture sub-assemblies for our products. Our efficient supply chain management allows us to enter into flexible and mutually beneficial purchase arrangements with our suppliers in order to minimize inventory risk. Consistent with industry practice, we acquire raw materials or other goods and services, including product components, by issuing to suppliers authorizations to purchase based on our projected demand and manufacturing needs. These purchase orders are typically fulfilled within 30 days and are entered into during the ordinary course of business in order to establish best pricing and continuity of supply for our production. Purchase orders are not included in purchase obligations, as they typically represent our authorization to purchase rather than binding purchase obligations.
Market Conditions
We regularly monitor economic conditions and associated impacts on the financial markets and our business. We consistently evaluate the financial health of our supplier base, carefully manage customer credit, diversify counterparty risk, and monitor the concentration risk of our cash and cash equivalents balances globally. We routinely monitor our financial exposure to borrowers and counterparties.
We monitor credit risk associated with our financial counterparties using various market credit risk indicators such as credit ratings issued by nationally recognized credit rating agencies and changes in market credit default swap levels. We perform periodic evaluations of our positions with these counterparties and may limit exposure to any one counterparty in accordance with our policies. We monitor and manage these activities depending on current and expected market developments.
We use derivative instruments to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. We use forward contracts and purchased options designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in our forecasted transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In addition, we primarily use forward contracts and may use purchased options to hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our use of derivative instruments.
We are exposed to interest rate risk related to our variable-rate debt portfolio. In the normal course of business we follow established policies and procedures to manage this risk, including monitoring of our asset and liability mix and the use of derivative instruments. As a result, we do not anticipate any material losses from interest rate risk.

ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
This report includes the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
In connection with the preparation of this report, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 3, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of May 3, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We are in the process of an ongoing business transformation initiative to advance our capabilities and streamline systems and business processes to change the way we work and reduce costs. As part of this initiative, we are upgrading and migrating certain accounting and finance systems. During the fiscal quarter ended May 3, 2024, we implemented a new enterprise resource planning system, and we plan to migrate additional business processes in the future. We have modified and will continue to modify the design and implementation of certain internal control processes to accommodate modifications to our business processes and finance procedures as the transformation continues.
There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended May 3, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
