NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

NOTE 1 — OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Dell Technologies Inc. is a leading global end-to-end technology provider that offers a broad range of comprehensive and integrated solutions, which include servers and networking products, storage products, cloud solutions products, desktops, notebooks, services, software, 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 January 28, 2022. 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 July 29, 2022 and January 28, 2022, the results of its operations, corresponding comprehensive income, and its statement of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended July 29, 2022 and July 30, 2021, and its cash flows for the six months ended July 29, 2022 and July 30, 2021.

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, statement of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended July 29, 2022 and July 30, 2021, and its cash flows for the six months ended July 29, 2022 and July 30, 2021 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. The fiscal year ended January 28, 2022 (“Fiscal 2022”) was a 52-week period while the fiscal year ending February 3, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”) will be a 53-week period.

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 July 29, 2022 and January 28, 2022, the Company held approximately 82.8% and 83.9%, respectively, of the outstanding equity interest in Secureworks, excluding restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), and approximately 82.4% and 83.1%, respectively, of the equity interest, including RSAs. The portion of the results of operations of Secureworks allocable to its other owners is shown as net income (loss) attributable to the 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 a component of the non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and was $105 million as of both July 29, 2022 and January 28, 2022.

Variable Interest Entities — The Company also 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 5 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding consolidated VIEs.

Spin-Off of VMware, Inc. — On November 1, 2021, the Company completed its spin-off of VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) (individually and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “VMware”) by means of a special stock dividend (the “VMware Spin-off”). The VMware Spin-off was effectuated pursuant to a Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of April 14, 2021, between Dell Technologies and VMware (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Commercial Framework Agreement (the “CFA”) between Dell Technologies and VMware, Dell Technologies continues to act as a distributor of VMware’s standalone products and services and purchase such products and services for resale to customers. Dell Technologies also continues to integrate VMware’s products and services with Dell Technologies’ offerings and sell them to customers. The results of such operations are presented as continuing operations within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the results of VMware, excluding Dell Technologies' resale of VMware offerings, are presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for the three and six months ended July 30, 2021. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are presented on a consolidated basis for both continuing operations and discontinued operations. See Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the VMware Spin-off.

Boomi Divestiture — On October 1, 2021, Dell Technologies completed the sale of Boomi, Inc. (“Boomi”) and certain related assets. At the completion of the sale, the Company received total cash consideration of approximately $4.0 billion, resulting in a pre-tax gain on sale of $4.0 billion recognized in interest and other, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company ultimately recorded a $3.0 billion gain, net of $1.0 billion in tax expense. The transaction was intended to support general corporate purposes and fuel growth initiatives through targeted investments to modernize Dell Technologies’ core infrastructure and by expanding in high-priority areas, including hybrid and private cloud, edge, telecommunications solutions, and the Company’s APEX offerings. Prior to the divestiture, Boomi’s operating results were included within other businesses and the divestiture did not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation.

Other Events — During three months ended July 29, 2022, Dell Technologies recognized $189 million in costs associated with exiting the Company’s business in Russia, primarily related to asset impairments and other exit related costs.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers — In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which requires companies to apply Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.

Reference Rate Reform — In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP guidance on contract modifications and certain hedging relationships to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate to alternative reference rates. The Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2024. Adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.

NOTE 2 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

VMware Spin-Off — As disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on November 1, 2021, the Company completed its spin-off of VMware by means of a special stock dividend of 30,678,605 shares of Class A common stock and 307,221,836 shares of Class B common stock of VMware to Dell Technologies stockholders of record as of October 29, 2021.

Prior to receipt of the VMware common stock by the Company’s stockholders, each share of VMware Class B common stock automatically converted into one share of VMware Class A common stock. As a result of these transactions, each holder of record of shares of Dell Technologies common stock as of the distribution record date received approximately 0.440626 of a share of VMware Class A common stock for each share of Dell Technologies common stock held as of such date, based on shares outstanding as of the completion of the VMware Spin-off. Following completion of the transaction, the pre-transaction stockholders of Dell Technologies owned shares in two separate public companies, consisting of (1) VMware, which continues to own the businesses of VMware, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and (2) Dell Technologies, which continues to own Dell Technologies’ other businesses and subsidiaries. After the separation, Dell Technologies does not beneficially own any shares of VMware common stock.

VMware paid a cash dividend, pro rata, to each of the holders of VMware common stock in an aggregate amount equal to $11.5 billion, of which Dell Technologies received $9.3 billion. Following the payment by VMware to its stockholders, the separation of VMware from Dell Technologies occurred, including the termination or settlement of certain intercompany accounts and intercompany contracts. Dell Technologies used the net proceeds from its pro rata share of the cash dividend to repay a portion of its outstanding debt.

Dell Technologies determined that the VMware Spin-off, and related distributions, qualified as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which required significant judgment by management. In making these determinations, Dell Technologies applied U.S. federal tax law to relevant facts and circumstances and obtained a favorable private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, a tax opinion, and other external tax advice related to the concluded tax treatment. If the completed transactions were to fail to qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company could be subject to significant liabilities, which could have material adverse impacts on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future reporting periods.

In connection with and upon completion of the VMware Spin-off, Dell Technologies and VMware entered into various agreements that provide a framework for the relationship between the companies after the transaction, including, among others, a commercial framework agreement, a tax matters agreement, and a transition services agreement.

The CFA referred to in Note 1 to the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements provides a framework under which the Company and VMware will continue their commercial relationship after the transaction, particularly with respect to projects mutually agreed by the parties as having the potential to accelerate the growth of an industry, product, service, or platform that may provide one or both companies with a strategic market opportunity. The CFA has an initial term of five years, with automatic one-year renewals occurring annually thereafter, subject to certain terms and conditions.

Pursuant to the CFA, Dell Technologies continues to act as a distributor of VMware’s standalone products and services and purchases such products and services for resale to end-user customers. Dell Technologies also continues to integrate VMware’s products and services with Dell Technologies’ offerings and sell them to end users. Cash flows between Dell Technologies and VMware primarily relate to such transactions. The Company has determined that it is generally acting as principal in these arrangements. The results of such operations are classified as continuing operations within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 16 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding transactions between Dell Technologies and VMware.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the results of VMware, excluding Dell Technologies’ resale of VMware offerings, are presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for the three and six months ended July 30, 2021. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are presented on a consolidated basis for both continuing operations and discontinued operations.

The tax matters agreement between the Company and VMware governs the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations of Dell Technologies and VMware with respect to tax liabilities (including taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the VMware Spin-off to qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings, cooperation, and other matters regarding tax.

The transition services agreement between the Company and VMware governs the various administrative services which the Company will provide to VMware on an interim transitional basis. Transition services may be provided for up to one year.

Total liabilities	$	—	$	108	$	—	$	108	$	—	$	138	$	—	$	138

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 liquidity on a quarterly basis.

Marketable Equity and Other Securities — The majority of 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 8 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 $169 million and $192 million as of July 29, 2022 and January 28, 2022, 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.

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 9 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about goodwill and intangible assets.

As of July 29, 2022 and January 28, 2022, the Company held strategic investments in non-marketable equity and other securities of $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively. 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 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our 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 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the current portion, as of the dates indicated:


	July 29, 2022				January 28, 2022
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
	(in billions)

Senior Notes	$	16.2	$	16.7	$	16.1	$	18.5
Legacy Notes and Debentures	$	0.8	$	1.0	$	0.8	$	1.1

The fair values of the outstanding debt shown in the table above, as well as the DFS debt described in Note 5 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, 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. The carrying value of DFS debt approximates fair value.

NOTE 4 — 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 in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Short-term fixed income debt securities are recorded as other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

As of July 29, 2022 and January 28, 2022, total investments were $1.6 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively.

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.

Carrying Value of Equity and Other Securities

The following table presents the amortized cost, cumulative unrealized gains, cumulative unrealized losses, and carrying value of the Company's strategic investments in marketable and non-marketable equity securities as of the dates indicated:


	July 29, 2022								January 28, 2022

____________________

(a) For the three and six months ended July 29, 2022, net unrealized losses on non-marketable securities was primarily attributable to the recognition of $310 million of impairments on equity and other securities, which was generally in line with extended public equity market declines. In evaluating these investments for impairment, the Company used 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.

(b) For the three and six months ended July 30, 2021, net unrealized gains on non-marketable securities were due to upward adjustments for observable price changes offset by losses primarily attributable to downward adjustments for observable price changes.

Fixed Income Debt Securities

The Company has fixed income debt securities carried at amortized cost which are held as collateral for borrowings. The Company intends to hold the investments to maturity.

NOTE 5 — FINANCIAL SERVICES

The Company offers or arranges various financing options and services and alternative payment structures for its customers globally 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 $2.3 billion and $1.9 billion for the three months ended July 29, 2022 and July 30, 2021, respectively, and $4.4 billion and $3.8 billion for the six months ended July 29, 2022 and July 30, 2021, respectively.

The Company’s lease and loan arrangements with customers are aggregated primarily into the following categories:

Revolving loans — Revolving loans offered under private label credit financing programs provide qualified customers with a revolving credit line for the purchase of products and services offered by Dell Technologies. These private label credit financing programs are referred to as Dell Preferred Account (“DPA”) and Dell Business Credit (“DBC”). The DPA product is primarily offered to individual consumer customers, and the DBC product is primarily offered 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.

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.

The Company further strengthens customer relationships through flexible consumption models, which enable the Company to offer its customers the option to pay over time and, in certain cases, based on utilization, to provide them with financial flexibility to meet their changing technological requirements.

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 Dell Technologies 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 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. The credit quality indicators for DPA revolving accounts are measured primarily as of each quarter-end date, while all other indicators are generally updated on a periodic basis.

For DPA revolving receivables shown in the table above, the Company makes credit decisions based on proprietary scorecards, which include the customer’s credit history, payment history, credit usage, and other credit agency-related elements. The higher quality category includes prime accounts generally of a higher credit quality that are comparable to U.S. customer FICO scores of 720 or above. The mid-category represents the mid-tier accounts that are comparable to U.S. customer FICO scores from 660 to 719. The lower category is generally sub-prime and represents lower credit quality accounts that are comparable to U.S. customer FICO scores below 660. For the DBC revolving receivables and fixed-term commercial receivables shown in the table 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 and Securitization Facilities — The Company maintains separate asset-based financing facilities and a securitization facility in the United States, which are revolving facilities for fixed-term leases and loans and for revolving loans, respectively. This debt is collateralized solely by the U.S. loan and lease payments and associated equipment in the facilities. 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. As of July 29, 2022, the total debt capacity related to the U.S. asset-based financing and securitization facilities was $5.0 billion. 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 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about interest rate swaps.

The Company’s U.S. securitization facility for revolving loans is effective through June 25, 2025. The Company’s two U.S. asset-based financing facilities for fixed-term leases and loans are effective through July 10, 2023 and June 21, 2024, respectively.

The asset-based financing and securitization facilities contain 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 July 29, 2022, 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 leases and loans in the offerings, which are held by Special Purpose Entities (“SPEs”), as discussed below. The interest rate on these securities is fixed and ranges from 0.33% to 5.92% per annum, 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. This facility is effective through December 21, 2022 and had a total debt capacity of $816 million as of July 29, 2022.

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 July 29, 2022, 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, and New Zealand. The Canadian facility, which is collateralized solely by Canadian loan and lease payments and associated equipment, had a total debt capacity of $351 million as of July 29, 2022 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 $612 million as of July 29, 2022 and is effective through December 14, 2023. 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 $315 million as of July 29, 2022 and is effective through April 20, 2023.

Note Payable — On May 25, 2022, the Company entered into an unsecured credit agreement to fund receivables in Mexico. As of July 29, 2022, the aggregate principal amount of the note payable was $250 million. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 4.24% and will mature on May 31, 2024.

Variable Interest Entities

In connection with the asset-based financing facilities, securitization facilities, 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 detailed 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:


	July 29, 2022		January 28, 2022
	(in millions)

Liabilities held by consolidated VIEs
Debt, net of unamortized debt issuance costs
Short-term	$	4,469	$	4,560
Long-term	$	2,450	$	2,235

Lease and loan payments and associated equipment transferred via securitization through SPEs were $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion for the three months ended July 29, 2022 and July 30, 2021, respectively, and $2.9 billion and $2.7 billion for the six months ended July 29, 2022 and July 30, 2021, respectively.

Customer Receivable Sales

To manage certain concentrations of customer credit exposure, the Company may sell selected fixed-term customer receivables to unrelated third parties on a periodic basis, without recourse. The amount of customer receivables sold for this purpose was $425 million and $101 million for the six months ended July 29, 2022 and July 30, 2021, respectively. The Company’s continuing involvement in these customer receivables is primarily limited to servicing arrangements.

NOTE 6 — 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 July 29, 2022, the remaining terms of the Company’s leases range from less than one month to approximately ten years. As of July 29, 2022 and January 28, 2022, there were no material finance leases for 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 5 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Company’s lessor arrangements.

The 2021 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 2021 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the borrowers’ option, either (a) the specified London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (b) a base rate. The margin applicable to LIBOR and base rate borrowings varies based upon the Company’s existing date ratings. The base rate is calculated based upon the greatest of the specified prime rate, the specified federal reserve bank rate, or LIBOR plus 1%.

The borrowers may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs.

As of July 29, 2022, available borrowings under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility totaled $5.0 billion.

Covenants — The credit agreement governing the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility and the indentures governing the Senior Notes and the Legacy Notes and Debentures impose various limitations, subject to exceptions, on creating certain liens and entering into sale and lease-back transactions. The foregoing credit agreement and indentures contain customary events of default, including failure to make required payments, failure to comply with covenants, and the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. The 2021 Revolving Credit Facility is also subject to an interest coverage ratio covenant that is tested at the end of each fiscal quarter with respect to the Company’s preceding four fiscal quarters. The Company was in compliance with this financial covenant as of July 29, 2022.

NOTE 8 — 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 income statement line items 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 derivative. The Company does not have any derivatives designated as fair value hedges.

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 three and six months ended July 29, 2022 and July 30, 2021, 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 expanded offerings of DFS 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. 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 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 in the third quarter of Fiscal 2022, 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.

Management exercised significant judgment related to the above assessment, 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. The fair value of each goodwill reporting unit is generally estimated using a combination of public company multiples and discounted cash flow methodologies, except with respect to Secureworks, which is a publicly-traded entity, in which case the fair value is determined based primarily on the public company market valuation. 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 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 the fiscal year ended January 28, 2022, the fair values of each of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. The Company did not recognize any material impairments during the six months ended July 29, 2022.

NOTE 10 — DEFERRED REVENUE

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:

Long-term deferred revenue	$	13,301	$	12,903	$	13,301	$	12,903

____________________

(a) For the six months ended July 29, 2022, Other represents the reclassification of deferred revenue to accrued and other liabilities. For the three and six months ended July 30, 2021, Other consists of divested deferred revenue from the sale of Boomi.

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 July 29, 2022 was approximately $41 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately 61% 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 11 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Obligations

The Company has contractual obligations to purchase goods or services, which specify significant terms (including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased), fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. As of July 29, 2022, such purchase obligations were $4.0 billion, $0.5 billion, and $0.8 billion for the remaining six months of Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal 2025 and thereafter, respectively.

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. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement referred to below, Dell Technologies shares responsibility with VMware for certain matters, as indicated below, and VMware has agreed to indemnify Dell Technologies in whole or in part with respect to certain matters.

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. In November 2018, four purported stockholders brought putative class action complaints arising out of the Class V transaction. The actions were captioned Hallandale Beach Police and Fire Retirement Plan v. Michael Dell et al. (Civil Action No. 2018-0816-JTL), Howard Karp v. Michael Dell et al. (Civil Action No. 2019-0032-JTL), Miramar Police Officers’ Retirement Plan v. Michael Dell et al. (Civil Action No. 2019-0049-JTL), and Steamfitters Local 449 Pension Plan v. Michael Dell et al. (Civil Action No. 2019-0115-JTL). The four actions were consolidated in the Delaware Chancery Court into In Re Dell Class V Litigation (Consol. C.A. No. 2018-0816-JTL). The suit currently names as defendants Michael S. Dell and certain of the other directors serving on the Board of Directors at the time of the Class V transaction, certain stockholders of the Company, consisting of Michael S. Dell and Silver Lake Group LLC and certain of its affiliated funds, and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), which served as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Class V transaction. In an amended complaint filed in August 2019, the plaintiffs generally allege that the director and stockholder defendants breached their fiduciary duties under Delaware law to the former holders of Class V Common Stock in connection with the Class V transaction by offering a transaction value that was allegedly billions of dollars below the fair value. The plaintiffs contend that the offer understated the value of shares surrendered by the former stockholders, which the plaintiffs allege should have reflected higher alternative valuations, including a valuation related to the value of the shares of VMware, Inc. common stock, and that the difference in values was wrongfully appropriated by the stockholder defendants. On August 20, 2021, the plaintiffs added Goldman Sachs as a defendant and allege that it aided and abetted the alleged primary violations. In the complaint, the plaintiffs seek, among other remedies, a judicial declaration that the director and stockholder defendants breached their fiduciary duties. The plaintiffs also seek in the complaint disgorgement of all profits, benefits, and other compensation obtained by the defendants as a result of such alleged conduct and an award of unspecified damages, fees, and costs. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the action in September 2019. The court denied the motion in June 2020 and the case is currently in the discovery phase. Trial is scheduled to begin on December 5, 2022. The Company is not a defendant in this action but is subject to director indemnification provisions under its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and is a party to agreements with

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(unaudited)

the defendants that contain indemnification obligations of the Company, conditioned on the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in such agreements, relating to service as a director, ownership of the Company’s securities, and provision of services, as applicable.

Class Actions Related to VMware, Inc.’s Acquisition of Pivotal Software, Inc. — Two purported stockholders brought putative class action complaints arising out of VMware, Inc.’s acquisition of Pivotal Software, Inc. (“Pivotal”) on December 30, 2019. The two actions were consolidated in the Delaware Chancery Court into In re: Pivotal Software, Inc. Stockholders Litigation (Civil Action No. 2020-0440-KSJM). The complaint names as defendants the Company, VMware, Inc., Michael S. Dell, and certain officers of Pivotal. The plaintiffs generally allege that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the former holders of Pivotal Class A Common Stock in connection with VMware, Inc.’s acquisition of Pivotal by allegedly causing Pivotal to enter into a transaction that favored the interests of Pivotal’s controlling stockholders at the expense of such former stockholders. The parties have reached an agreement to settle the litigation and are seeking the court’s approval of the settlement.

Other Litigation — Dell does not currently anticipate that any of the other various 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 July 29, 2022, 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 described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Dell Technologies has agreed to indemnify VMware, 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 Dell Technologies as part of the separation of Dell Technologies and VMware and their respective businesses as a result of the VMware Spin-off (the “Separation”). VMware similarly has 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. Dell Technologies expects VMware to fully perform under the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

For information on the cross-indemnifications related to the tax matters agreement between the Company and VMware described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements effective upon the Separation on November 1, 2021, see Note 2 and Note 16 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 12 — INCOME AND OTHER TAXES

For the three months ended July 29, 2022, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 20.3% on pre-tax income of $0.6 billion compared to 13.2% on pre-tax income of $0.7 billion for the three months ended July 30, 2021. For the six months ended July 29, 2022, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 14.8% on pre-tax income of $1.8 billion compared to 9.6% on pre-tax income of $1.4 billion for the six months ended July 30, 2021. For both the three and six months ended July 29, 2022, the changes in the Company’s effective tax rates were primarily attributable to changes in discrete tax items. Other increases to the Company’s effective income tax rates were primarily driven by a change in the jurisdictional mix of income and higher U.S. tax on foreign operations, the effects of which were partially offset by higher benefits from foreign tax credits.

Higher U.S. tax on foreign operations is attributable to the capitalization of research and development costs. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was enacted on December 22, 2017, research and development costs incurred for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021 must be capitalized and amortized ratably over five or 15 years for tax purposes, depending on where the research activities are conducted. The effective income tax rate for future quarters of Fiscal 2023 may be impacted by actions taken by the U.S. government to defer or repeal this provision, as well as by the actual mix of jurisdictions in which income is generated and the impact of any discrete tax items.

The differences between the estimated effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% principally result from the Company’s 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 that is subject to these tax holidays and lower tax rates is attributable to Singapore and China. A significant portion of these income tax benefits relate to a tax holiday that will be effective until January 31, 2029. The Company’s other tax holidays will expire in whole or in part during fiscal years 2030 through 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. As of July 29, 2022, the Company was not aware of any matters of non-compliance related to these tax holidays.

The Internal Revenue Service is currently conducting tax examinations of the Company for fiscal years 2015 through 2019. The Company is also currently under income tax audits in various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is undergoing negotiations, and in some cases contested proceedings, relating to tax matters with the taxing authorities in these jurisdictions. The Company believes that it has valid positions supporting its tax returns and that it has provided adequate reserves related to all matters contained in tax periods open to examination. Although the Company believes it has made adequate provisions for the uncertainties surrounding 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. 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.

Judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s uncertain tax positions and determining the Company’s provision for income taxes. The unrecognized tax benefits were $1.2 billion as of both July 29, 2022 and January 28, 2022, 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 15 — 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.

The following table presents basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated:

Related Party Tax Matters

Tax Agreements — In connection with the VMware Spin-off and concurrently with the execution of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, effective as of April 14, 2021, Dell Technologies and VMware entered into a Tax Matters Agreement (the “Tax Matters Agreement”) and agreed to terminate the tax sharing agreement as amended on December 30, 2019 (together with the Tax Matters Agreement, the “Tax Agreements”). The Tax Matters Agreement governs Dell Technologies’ and VMware’s respective rights and obligations, both for pre-spin-off periods and post-spin-off periods, regarding income and other taxes, and related matters, including tax liabilities and benefits, attributes, and returns.

The timing of the tax payments due to and from related parties is governed by the Tax Agreements. VMware’s portion of the mandatory one-time transition tax on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries (the “Transition Tax”) is governed by a letter agreement between VMware and Dell Technologies entered into on April 1, 2019.

Net receipts from VMware pursuant to the Tax Agreements were immaterial during the three and six months ended July 29, 2022 and July 30, 2021, and primarily relate to VMware’s portion of the Transition Tax, federal income taxes on Dell Technologies’ consolidated tax return, and state tax payments for combined states.

As a result of the activity under the Tax Agreements with VMware, amounts due from VMware were $570 million and $621 million as of July 29, 2022 and January 28, 2022, respectively, primarily related to VMware’s estimated tax obligation resulting from the Transition Tax. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act included a deferral election for an eight-year installment payment method on the Transition Tax. Dell Technologies expects VMware to pay the remainder of its Transition Tax over a period of three years.

Indemnification — Upon consummation of the VMware Spin-off, Dell Technologies recorded net income tax indemnification receivables from VMware related to certain income tax liabilities for which Dell Technologies is jointly and severally liable, but for which it is indemnified by VMware under the Tax Matters Agreement. The amounts that VMware may be obligated to pay Dell Technologies could vary depending on the outcome of certain unresolved tax matters, which may not be resolved for several years. The net receivable as of July 29, 2022 and January 28, 2022 was $154 million and$144 million, respectively.

NOTE 17 — 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 enables the digital transformation of the Company’s customers through its trusted multi-cloud and big data solutions, which are built upon a modern data center infrastructure. The ISG comprehensive portfolio of advanced storage solutions includes traditional storage solutions as well as next-generation storage solutions (such as all-flash arrays, scale-out file, object platforms, and software-defined solutions), while the Company’s server portfolio includes high-performance rack, blade, tower, and hyperscale servers. The ISG networking portfolio helps business customers transform and modernize their infrastructure, mobilize and enrich end-user experiences, and accelerate business applications and processes. ISG also offers attached software, peripherals, and services, including support and deployment, configuration, and extended warranty services.

CSG includes sales to commercial and consumer customers of branded hardware (such as desktops, workstations, and notebooks) and branded peripherals (such as displays, docking stations, and other electronics), as well as services and third-party software and peripherals. CSG also offers attached software, peripherals, and services, including support and deployment, configuration, and extended warranty services.

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, the impact of purchase accounting, amortization of intangible assets, transaction-related expenses, 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.

As described in Note 1 and Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company completed the VMware Spin-off on November 1, 2021.

Pursuant to the CFA described in such Notes, Dell Technologies continues to act as a distributor of VMware’s standalone products and services and purchase such products and services for resale to end-user customers (“VMware Resale”). Dell Technologies also continues to integrate VMware’s products and services with Dell Technologies’ offerings and sell them to end users. The results of such operations are classified as continuing operations within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The results of standalone VMware Resale transactions are reflected in other businesses. The results of integrated offering transactions are reflected within CSG or ISG, depending upon the nature of the underlying offering sold. The Company's prior period segment results have been recast to reflect this change.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the results of VMware, excluding Dell's resale of VMware offerings, are presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for prior periods presented.

Our Vision and Strategy

Our vision is to become the most essential technology company for the data era. We seek to address our customers’ evolving needs and their broader digital transformation objectives as they embrace today’s hybrid multi-cloud environment. We intend to execute on our vision by focusing on two overarching strategic priorities:

•Grow and modernize our core offerings in the markets in which we predominantly compete

•Pursue attractive new growth opportunities such as Edge, Telecom, data management, and as-a-Service consumption models

We believe that we are uniquely positioned in the data and multi-cloud era and that our results will benefit from our durable competitive advantages. We intend to continue to execute our business model to position our company for long-term success while balancing liquidity, profitability, and growth.

We are seeing an accelerated rate of change in the IT industry and increased demand for simpler, more agile IT as companies leverage multiple clouds in their IT environments. COVID-19 has accelerated the introduction and adoption of new technologies to ensure productivity and collaboration from anywhere. To meet our customer needs, we continue to invest in research and development, sales, and other key areas of our business to deliver superior products and solutions capabilities and to drive long-term sustainable growth.

Products and Services

We design, develop, manufacture, market, sell, and support a wide range of comprehensive and integrated solutions, products, and services. We are organized into two business units, referred to as Infrastructure Solutions Group and Client Solutions Group, which are our reportable segments.

•Infrastructure Solutions Group (“ISG”) — ISG enables our customers’ digital transformation through our trusted multi-cloud, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data analytics solutions which are built upon modern data center infrastructure. ISG helps customers in the area of hybrid cloud deployment with the goal of simplifying, streamlining, and automating cloud operations. ISG solutions are built for multi-cloud environments and are optimized to run cloud native workloads in both public and private clouds, as well as traditional on-premise workloads.

Our comprehensive portfolio of advanced storage solutions includes traditional storage solutions as well as next-generation storage solutions (such as all-flash arrays, scale-out file, object platforms, and software-defined solutions). Our PowerStore offering, a differentiated midrange storage solution that enables seamless updates using microservices and container-based software architecture, allows us to compete more effectively within midrange storage. We continue to make enhancements to our storage solutions offerings and expect that these offerings will drive long-term improvements in the business.

Our server portfolio includes high-performance rack, blade, tower, and hyperscale servers, optimized to run high value workloads, including artificial intelligence and machine learning. Our networking portfolio helps our business customers transform and modernize their infrastructure, mobilize and enrich end-user experiences, and accelerate business applications and processes.

Our strengths in server, storage, and virtualization software solutions enable us to offer leading converged and hyper-converged solutions, allowing our customers to accelerate their IT transformation by acquiring scalable integrated IT solutions instead of building and assembling their own IT platforms. ISG also offers attached software, peripherals and services, including support and deployment, configuration, and extended warranty services.

Approximately half of ISG revenue is generated by sales to customers in the Americas, with the remaining portion derived from sales to customers in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region (“EMEA”) and the Asia-Pacific and Japan region (“APJ”).

Table of Contents

•Client Solutions Group (“CSG”) — CSG includes branded hardware (such as desktops, workstations, and notebooks) and branded peripherals (such as displays, docking stations, and other electronics), as well as third-party software and peripherals. CSG also includes services offerings, including support and deployment, configuration, and extended warranty services. Our computing devices are designed with our commercial and consumer customers’ needs in mind, and we seek to optimize performance, reliability, manageability, design, and security. For our customers that are seeking to simplify client lifecycle management, Dell PC as-a-Service offering combines hardware, software, lifecycle services, and financing into one all-encompassing solution that provides predictable pricing per seat per month.

Approximately half of CSG revenue is generated by sales to customers in the Americas, with the remaining portion derived from sales to customers in EMEA and APJ.

Our other businesses, described below, consist of our resale of standalone VMware offerings, referred to as VMware Resale, as well as product and service offerings of SecureWorks Corp. (“Secureworks”) and Virtustream. These businesses are not classified as reportable segments, either individually or collectively.

•VMware Resale consists of our sale of standalone VMware offerings. Under the Commercial Framework Agreement discussed below entered into as part of our spin-off of VMware, Dell Technologies continues to act as a key channel partner in this relationship, reselling VMware offerings to our customers. This partnership is intended to facilitate mutually beneficial growth for both Dell and VMware.

VMware works with customers in the areas of hybrid and multi-cloud, modern applications, networking, security, and digital workspaces, helping customers manage their IT resources across private clouds and complex multi-cloud, multi-device environments.

•Secureworks (NASDAQ: SCWX) is a leading global provider of intelligence-driven information security solutions singularly focused on protecting its clients from cyber attacks. The solutions offered by Secureworks enable organizations of varying size and complexity to fortify their cyber defenses to prevent security breaches, detect malicious activity in near real time, prioritize and respond rapidly to security incidents and predict emerging threats.

•Virtustream offers cloud software and Infrastructure-as-a-Service solutions that enable customers to migrate, run, and manage mission-critical applications in cloud-based IT environments.

We believe the collaboration, innovation, and coordination of the operations and strategies across the segments of our business, as well as our differentiated go-to-market model, will continue to drive revenue synergies. Through our research and development activities, we are able to engineer leading innovative solutions that incorporate the distinct set of hardware, software, and services across all segments of our business.

Our products and services offerings are continually evolving in response to industry dynamics. As a result, reclassifications of certain products and services solutions in major product categories may be required. For further discussion regarding our current reportable segments, see “Results of Operations — Business Unit Results” and Note 17 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Dell Financial Services

DFS supports our businesses by offering and arranging various financing options and services for our customers globally. DFS originates, collects, and services customer receivables primarily related to the purchase or use of our product, software, and services solutions. We also arrange financing for some of our customers in various countries where DFS does not currently operate as a captive entity. DFS further strengthens our customer relationships through its flexible consumption models which provide our customers with financial flexibility to meet their changing technological requirements. Our flexible consumption models enable us to offer our customers the option to pay over time and, in certain cases, based on utilization. The results of these operations are allocated to our segments based on the underlying product or service financed and may be impacted by, among other items, changes in the interest rate environment and the translation of those changes in to pricing. For additional information about our financing arrangements, see Note 5 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Recent Transactions

Spin-Off of VMware, Inc. — On November 1, 2021, we completed our spin-off of VMware by means of a special stock dividend (the “VMware Spin-off”). The VMware Spin-off was effectuated pursuant to a Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of April 14, 2021, between Dell Technologies and VMware. As part of the transaction, VMware paid a special cash dividend, pro rata, to each holder of VMware common stock in an aggregate amount equal to $11.5 billion, of which Dell Technologies received $9.3 billion.

In connection with and upon completion of the VMware Spin-off, we entered into a Commercial Framework Agreement (the “CFA”) with VMware, which provides the framework under which we and VMware will continue our commercial relationship after the transaction. Pursuant to the CFA, we continue to act as a distributor of VMware’s standalone products and services and purchase such products and services for resale to customers. We also continue to integrate VMware’s products and services with Dell Technologies’ offerings and sell them to customers. The results of such operations are presented as continuing operations within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented.

The results of VMware, excluding Dell's resale of VMware offerings, are presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for the three and six months ended July 30, 2021. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are presented on a consolidated basis for both continuing operations and discontinued operations. See Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about the VMware Spin-off.

Boomi Divestiture — On October 1, 2021, we completed the sale of Boomi, Inc. (“Boomi”) and certain related assets for a total cash consideration of approximately $4.0 billion, resulting in a pre-tax gain on sale of $4.0 billion. The Company ultimately recorded a $3.0 billion gain, net of $1.0 billion in tax expense. Prior to the divestiture, the operating results of Boomi were included within other businesses and did not qualify for presentation as discontinued operations. See Note 1 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information about this transaction.

Relationship with VMware

The Company is considered to be a related party of VMware as a result of Michael Dell’s ownership interest in both Dell Technologies and VMware and Mr. Dell’s continued service as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dell Technologies and as Chairman of the Board of VMware, Inc. Following the completion of the VMware Spin-off, the majority of transactions that occur between Dell Technologies and VMware consist of Dell Technologies’ purchase of VMware products and services for resale, either on a standalone basis or as a part of integrated offerings. For more information regarding related party transactions with VMware, see Note 16 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

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 all segments of our business and that will complement our existing portfolio of solutions. Our investment areas include storage, software-defined networking, management and orchestration, security, machine learning and artificial intelligence, Big Data and analytics, cloud, edge computing, and software development operations. 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 initial investment in the companies.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, we recognized a net loss of $255 million on our strategic investments generally in line with overall public equity market declines. As of July 29, 2022 and January 28, 2022, we held strategic investments in non-marketable securities of $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information.

In addition to these investments, we also may make disciplined acquisitions targeting businesses that advance our strategic objectives and accelerate our innovation agenda.

Business Trends and Challenges

Macroeconomic conditions continue to evolve globally and, during the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, while net revenue grew, we experienced a notable change in the demand for both our ISG and CSG offerings. Demand for our CSG offerings decreased in line with industry-wide declines while demand for our ISG offerings moderated as a result of customer uncertainty in response to the macroeconomic environment. Although we expect ISG net revenue growth to continue through the remainder of Fiscal 2023, we anticipate that the rate of growth will moderate. Within CSG, we expect that demand for our offerings will continue to decline, which we anticipate will result in a decrease in CSG net revenue through the remainder of Fiscal 2023. We will continue to actively monitor global events and make prudent decisions to navigate this environment. We believe our durable competitive advantages continue to position us for long-term success.

Supply Chain — Dell Technologies maintains limited-source supplier relationships for certain components because the relationships are advantageous in the areas of performance, quality, support, delivery, capacity, and price considerations. During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, we continued to be impacted by industry-wide constraints in the supply of limited-source components in certain product offerings, principally within ISG, as a result of the global impacts of COVID-19. Demand for certain product components within ISG continues to outpace supply, resulting in an increase in orders pending fulfillment and extended lead times for our customers. While we expect to continue to manage these supply constraints for the remainder of Fiscal 2023, we anticipate that they may moderate dependent on the overall demand environment.

Supply chain dynamics also continue to impact logistics and component costs, which we refer to as input costs. Logistics costs remained elevated for the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023 as a result of both expedited shipments of components and overall rate costs in the freight network, as capacity remains constrained. While we expect overall logistics costs to remain elevated for the remainder of Fiscal 2023, we anticipate these costs will begin to decline in the third quarter of Fiscal 2023. Component costs were deflationary during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, and we expect such costs will remain moderately deflationary into the third quarter of Fiscal 2023. Component cost trends are dependent on the strength or weakness of actual end-user demand and supply dynamics, which will continue to evolve and ultimately impact the translation of the cost environment to pricing and operating results.

In response to these pressures, we continue to take steps to actively address our customers’ demands while balancing profitability and growth.

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 second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022. 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.

Ukraine War — We are monitoring and responding to effects of the ongoing war in Ukraine. When Russia invaded Ukraine, we made the decision to not sell, service, or support products in Russia, Belarus, and restricted regions of Ukraine. Operations in Russia and Ukraine accounted for less than 1% of net revenue in Fiscal 2022. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, we recognized $189 million in costs associated with exiting our business in Russia, primarily related to asset impairments and other exit related costs. We have resumed product sales to non-sanctioned areas in Ukraine. We are focused on providing products and support to Ukrainian customers, as they rebuild infrastructure and restore businesses and the financial sector.

The war and the related economic sanctions are impacting markets worldwide. Our business may be adversely affected by potential effects, including supply chain disruptions, product shipping delays, macroeconomic impacts resulting from the exclusion of Russian financial institutions from the global banking system, volatility in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, inflationary pressures, and heightened cybersecurity and data theft threats. The full impact of the war on our business operations and financial performance will depend on future developments. We will continue to monitor and assess the related restrictions and other effects and pursue prudent decisions for our team members, customers, and business.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Response — We continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and variants of the coronavirus, as well as the impact the pandemic has on our employees, customers, business partners, and communities. As discussed above, we continue to manage through the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our supply chain. The ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business operations and financial performance remains uncertain and will depend on future developments. We will continue to actively monitor global events and pursue prudent decisions to navigate in this uncertain and ever-changing environment. For additional information about impacts of COVID-19 on our operations, see “Results of Operations—Consolidated Results” and “—Business Unit Results.”

Inflation Reduction Act — Subsequent to the close of the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was enacted into law. The statute includes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on adjusted financial statement income which is effective for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2024. The new law also imposes a 1% excise tax on share repurchases, effective for repurchases made after December 31, 2022. We are currently assessing the potential impact of this law.

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, and geopolitical issues 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.

ISG — We expect that ISG will continue to be impacted by the changing nature of the IT infrastructure market and competitive environment. With our scale and strong solutions portfolio, we believe we are well-positioned to respond to ongoing competitive dynamics. Within servers and networking, we will continue to be selective in determining whether to pursue certain large hyperscale and other server transactions. We continue to focus on customer base expansion and lifetime value of customer relationships.

Growth throughout industries is generating continued demand for our storage solutions and services. Cloud native applications are expected to continue as a primary growth driver in the infrastructure market. We benefit from offering solutions that address the emerging trends of enterprises deploying software-defined storage, hyper-converged infrastructure, and modular solutions based on server-centric architectures. These trends are changing the way customers are consuming our traditional storage offerings. We continue to expand our offerings in external storage arrays, which incorporate flexible, cloud-based functionality.

Through our research and development efforts, we are developing new solutions in this rapidly changing industry that we believe will enable us to continue to provide superior solutions to our customers. Our customer base includes a growing number of service providers, such as cloud service providers, Software-as-a-Service companies, consumer webtech providers, and telecommunications companies. These service providers turn to Dell Technologies for our advanced solutions that enable efficient service delivery at cloud scale. Through our collaborative, customer-focused approach to innovation, we strive to deliver new and relevant solutions and software to the market quickly and efficiently.

CSG — Our CSG offerings are an important element of our strategy, generating strong cash flow and opportunities for cross-selling of complementary solutions. Competitive dynamics continue to be a factor in our CSG business and impact pricing and operating results. We remain committed to our long-term strategy for CSG and will continue to make investments to innovate across the portfolio while benefiting from consolidation trends that are occurring in the markets in which we compete. We expect that the CSG demand environment will continue to be subject to seasonal trends.

Recurring Revenue and Consumption Models — Our customers are seeking new and innovative models that address how they consume our solutions. We offer options including as-a-Service, utility, leases, loans, and immediate pay models designed to match customers’ consumption and financing preferences. We believe these options are particularly beneficial during times of economic uncertainty as they provide our customers with financial flexibility to further enable them to procure our solutions.

We continue to evolve and build momentum across our family of as-a-Service offerings as we pursue our strategy of modernizing our core business solutions, with APEX at the forefront. We expect that our flexible consumption models and as-a-Service offerings will further strengthen our customer relationships and provide a foundation for growth in recurring revenue.

These offerings typically result in multiyear agreements which generate recurring revenue streams over the term of the arrangement. We define recurring revenue as revenue recognized primarily related to hardware and software maintenance as well as subscription, as-a-Service, and usage-based offerings, and operating leases.

Key Performance Metrics

Our key performance metrics include net revenue, operating income, and cash flows from operations, which are discussed elsewhere in this management’s discussion and analysis.

Table of Contents

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 net revenue; non-GAAP services net revenue; non-GAAP net revenue; 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; earnings before interest and other, net, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”); and adjusted EBITDA. The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance in isolation from or as a substitute for net revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, or net income from continuing operations prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis.

Effective in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, non-GAAP product net revenue, non-GAAP services net revenue, and non-GAAP net revenue no longer differ from the most comparable GAAP financial measures. Such non-GAAP financial measures are provided below for all periods presented to show purchase accounting adjustments that impacted such financial measures in prior periods.

We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Management considers these non-GAAP measures in evaluating our operating trends and performance. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide our stakeholders with useful and transparent information to help them evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our operating performance and enabling them to make more meaningful 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 net revenue, non-GAAP services net revenue, non-GAAP net revenue, non-GAAP product gross margin, non-GAAP services gross margin, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP net income, as defined by us, exclude amortization of intangible assets, the impact of purchase accounting, transaction-related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, other corporate expenses and, for non-GAAP net income, fair value adjustments on equity adjustments and an aggregate adjustment for income taxes. As the excluded items 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 amortization of customer relationships, developed technology, and trade names. In connection with our acquisition by merger of EMC on September 7, 2016, referred to as the “EMC merger transaction,” and the acquisition of Dell Inc. by Dell Technologies Inc. on October 29, 2013, referred to as the “going-private transaction,” all of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of EMC and Dell, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, respectively, were accounted for and recognized at fair value on the transaction dates. Accordingly, for the periods presented, amortization of intangible assets represents amortization associated with intangible assets recognized in connection with the EMC merger transaction and the going-private transaction. Amortization charges for purchased intangible assets are significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions, and these charges may vary in amount from period to period. We exclude these charges for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures presented below to facilitate an enhanced understanding of our current operating performance and provide more meaningful period to period comparisons.

Table of Contents

•Impact of Purchase Accounting — The impact of purchase accounting includes purchase accounting adjustments related to the EMC merger transaction and, to a lesser extent, the going-private transaction, recorded under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations. Accordingly, all of the assets and liabilities acquired in such transactions were accounted for and recognized at fair value as of the respective transaction dates, and the fair value adjustments are being amortized over the estimated useful lives in the periods following the transactions. The fair value adjustments that are still amortizing primarily relate to property, plant, and equipment. We believe that excluding the impact of purchase accounting for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures presented below facilitates an enhanced understanding of our current operating performance and provides more meaningful period to period comparisons.

•Transaction-related (income) Expenses — Transaction-related expenses typically consist of acquisition, integration, and divestiture related costs, as well as the costs incurred in the VMware Spin-off, and are expensed as incurred. These expenses primarily represent costs for legal, banking, consulting, and advisory services. From time to time, this category also may include transaction-related income related to divestitures of businesses or asset sales. We exclude these items for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures presented below to facilitate an enhanced understanding of our current operating performance and provide more meaningful period to period comparisons.

•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. We estimate the fair value of service-based stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. To estimate the fair value of performance-based awards containing a market condition, we use the Monte Carlo valuation model. For all other share-based awards, the fair value is based on the closing price of the Class C Common Stock as reported on the NYSE on the date of grant. Although stock-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation of our employees and executives, the fair value of the stock-based awards may bear little resemblance to the actual value realized upon the vesting or future exercise of the related stock-based awards. We believe that excluding stock-based compensation expense for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures presented below facilitates an enhanced understanding of our current operating performance and provides more meaningful period to period comparisons.

•Other Corporate Expenses — Other corporate expenses consist of impairment charges, incentive charges related to equity investments, severance, facility action, payroll taxes associated with stock-based compensation, and other costs. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, we recognized $189 million in costs associated with exiting our business in Russia, primarily related to asset impairments and other exit related costs. Severance costs are primarily related to severance and benefits for employees terminated pursuant to cost savings initiatives. We continue to optimize our facilities footprint and may incur additional costs as we seek opportunities for operational efficiencies. Other corporate expenses vary from period to period and are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of these events. Therefore, although we may incur these types of expenses in the future, we believe that eliminating these charges for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures presented below facilitates an enhanced understanding of our current operating performance and provides more meaningful period to period comparisons.

•Fair Value Adjustments on Equity Investments — Fair value adjustments on equity investments primarily consist of the gain (loss) on strategic investments, which includes the 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. Given the volatility in the ongoing adjustments to the valuation of these strategic investments, we believe that excluding these gains and losses for purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income presented below facilitates an enhanced understanding of our current operating performance and provides more meaningful period to period comparisons.

•Aggregate Adjustment for Income Taxes — The aggregate adjustment for income taxes is the estimated combined income tax effect for the adjustments described above, as well as an adjustment for discrete tax items. Due to the variability in recognition of discrete tax items from period to period, we believe that excluding these benefits or charges for purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income facilitates an enhanced understanding of our current operating performance and provides more meaningful period to period comparisons. The tax effects are determined based on the tax jurisdictions where the above items were incurred. See Note 12 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information on our income taxes.

In addition to the above measures, we also use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to provide additional information for evaluation of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes purchase accounting adjustments related to the EMC merger transaction and the going-private transaction, acquisition, integration, and divestiture related costs, impairment charges, and severance, facility action, and other costs, and stock-based compensation expense. We believe that, due to the non-operational nature of the purchase accounting entries, it is appropriate to exclude these adjustments.

As is the case with the non-GAAP measures presented above, users should consider the limitations of using EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, including the fact that those measures do not provide a complete measure of our operating performance. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not purport to be alternatives to net income as measures of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. In particular, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as these measures do not consider certain cash requirements, such as working capital needs, capital expenditures, contractual commitments, interest payments, tax payments, and other debt service requirements.

The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income for the periods indicated:

Overview

During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, our net revenue increased 9% and 12%, respectively, due to growth in net revenue for both CSG and ISG. CSG net revenue benefited from growth in net revenue attributable to our commercial offerings. ISG net revenue growth continued throughout the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023 driven by strength in our offerings across both servers and networking and storage.

During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, our operating income increased 25% to $1.3 billion and 41% to $2.8 billion, respectively. These increases were primarily due to the favorable impact of a decrease in amortization of intangible assets and growth in operating income for ISG. Growth in ISG operating income for the second quarter of Fiscal 2023 was driven by our server and networking and storage offerings while, for the first six months of Fiscal 2023, ISG operating income growth was primarily due to strength in our storage offerings. During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023 our non-GAAP operating income increased 4% to $2.0 billion and increased 12% to $4.1 billion driven by the same ISG dynamics discussed above.

Operating income as a percentage of net revenue increased 60 basis points to 4.8% and 110 basis points to 5.4% during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, respectively. These increases were primarily driven by a decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue due to continued disciplined cost management and by the favorable impact of a decrease in amortization of intangible assets. The effect of these factors was partially offset by declines in gross margin as a percentage of net revenue primarily due to the impacts of an overall increase in cost of net revenue and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which were not entirely offset by pricing adjustments as we balanced profitability with competitive positioning. Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of net revenue decreased 30 basis points to 7.4% and was flat at 7.8% during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, respectively, driven by declines in gross margin as a percentage of net revenue offset by decreases in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue.

Cash provided by operating activities was $0.5 billion and $4.0 billion during the first six months of Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, respectively. During the first six months of Fiscal 2022, $2.1 billion of the $4.0 billion total represented cash provided by operating activities attributable to VMware. Cash provided by operating activities during the first six months of Fiscal 2023 reflected continued profitability, partially offset by working capital dynamics. See “Liquidity, Cash Requirements, and Market Conditions” for further information on our cash flow metrics.

We continue to see opportunities to create value and grow in response to demand for our IT solutions driven by a technology-enabled world. We have demonstrated our ability to adjust to changing market conditions with complementary solutions 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 core offerings, we believe that Dell Technologies is well-positioned for long-term profitable growth.

Net Revenue

During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, our net revenue increased 9% and increased 12%, respectively, due to growth in net revenue for both CSG and ISG. 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 second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, our product net revenue increased 10% and 13%, respectively, driven by growth within both CSG and ISG. CSG product net revenue increased primarily due to growth within our commercial offerings partially offset by a decrease within our consumer offerings. ISG product net revenue growth was primarily attributable to growth in net revenue from sales of servers and networking and, to a lesser extent, an increase in net revenue from sales of storage.

Table of Contents

•Services Net Revenue — Services net revenue includes revenue from our services offerings and support services related to hardware products and software licenses. During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, services net revenue increased 6% and 8%, respectively, driven principally by strength in hardware support and maintenance and third-party software support and maintenance within CSG. 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 services net revenue growth rates will be different than reported product net revenue growth rates.

From a geographical perspective, net revenue generated by sales to customers in all regions increased during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, driven by both CSG and ISG.

Gross Margin

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, our gross margin decreased 1% to $5.4 billion and our non-GAAP gross margin remained flat at $5.7 billion, driven by declines in CSG and other businesses gross margin that were mostly offset by growth in ISG gross margin.

During the first six months of Fiscal 2023, our gross margin increased 5% to $11.2 billion and our non-GAAP gross margin increased 4% to $11.6 billion. These increases were driven primarily by an increase in ISG gross margin due to continued strength in net revenue growth attributable to both storage and servers and networking.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, both our gross margin and non-GAAP gross margin percentages decreased 200 basis points to 20.6% and 21.4%, respectively, while during the first six months of Fiscal 2023, gross margin and non-GAAP gross margin percentages decreased 160 basis points to 21.4% and 170 basis points to 22.1%, respectively. These decreases were primarily due to the impacts of an overall increase in cost of net revenue and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which were not entirely offset by pricing adjustments as we balanced profitability with competitive positioning. Increased cost of net revenue was principally driven by a net increase in input costs, as compared to the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2022, which broadly impacted our product offerings.

•Product Gross Margin — During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, product gross margin and non-GAAP product gross margin decreased 2% to $3.1 billion and 3% to $3.3 billion, respectively. These decreases were primarily due to a decline in CSG product gross margin, principally related to our consumer offerings, which was partially offset by an increase in ISG product gross margin. ISG product gross margin increased primarily due continued strength in product net revenue growth for our server and networking offerings.

During the first six months of Fiscal 2023, product gross margin and non-GAAP product gross margin increased 5% to $6.6 billion and 4% to $6.8 billion, respectively. These increases were attributable to growth in ISG product gross margin, which was driven primarily by strength in product net revenue growth for our server and networking offerings coupled with product net revenue growth in our storage offerings. Growth in ISG product gross margin was partially offset by a decrease in CSG product gross margin driven primarily by our consumer offerings.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, product gross margin percentage and non-GAAP product gross margin percentage decreased 190 basis points to 15.1% and 210 basis points to 15.7%, respectively, while during the first six months of Fiscal 2023 product gross margin percentage and non-GAAP product gross margin percentage decreased 120 basis points to 16.0% and 150 basis points to 16.6%, respectively. The decrease during the second quarter of Fiscal 2023 was primarily due to a decline in product gross margin percentage for both CSG and ISG. For the first six months of Fiscal 2023, product gross margin percentage decreased primarily due to a decline in CSG product gross margin percentage and, to a lesser extent, a decline in ISG product gross margin percentage.

Table of Contents

•Services Gross Margin — During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, services gross margin increased 1% to $2.3 billion and 3% to $4.6 billion, respectively. During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, non-GAAP services gross margin increased 3% to $2.4 billion and 4% to $4.7 billion, respectively. These increases were driven primarily by increased CSG services gross margin as a result of growth within hardware support and maintenance associated with products sold in prior periods.

During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, services gross margin percentage decreased 190 basis points to 41.0% and 200 basis points to 41.1%, respectively. These decreases were driven in part by declines in services gross margin percentage for ISG and, to a lesser extent, a shift in mix towards CSG. The impacts of the divestiture of Boomi during the third quarter of Fiscal 2022 coupled with asset impairment costs associated with exiting our Russia business also contributed to the declines. During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, non-GAAP services gross margin percentage decreased 110 basis points to 42.4% and 160 basis points to 42.1%, respectively, driven by the same ISG, CSG, and Boomi divestiture impacts discussed above.

Vendor Programs and Settlements

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 second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023 and for the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2022 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 vendor pricing or rebate programs that may impact our results in the near term.

During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, total operating expenses decreased 6% and 4%, respectively, primarily driven by a decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses in both periods.

•Selling, General, and Administrative — Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased 6% and 4% during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, respectively. The decreases in SG&A expenses were primarily attributable to a decrease in amortization of intangible assets and a decrease in employee compensation and benefits expense primarily resulting from a reduction in performance-based compensation and disciplined cost management.

•Research and Development — Research and development (“R&D”) expenses are primarily composed of personnel-related expenses related to product development. R&D expenses decreased 10% and 1% during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, respectively. The decrease in R&D expenses during the second quarter of Fiscal 2023 was driven by the same employee compensation and benefits dynamics discussed within SG&A above. As a percentage of net revenue, R&D expenses for the second quarter of Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022 were 2.4% and 2.9%, respectively, and, for the first six months of Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, were 2.5% and 2.8%, respectively. These decreases were driven by revenue growth which outpaced our R&D investments coupled with disciplined cost management. We intend to continue supporting R&D initiatives to innovate and introduce new and enhanced solutions into the market.

During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, non-GAAP operating expenses decreased 3% and were flat, respectively. The decrease in non-GAAP operating expenses during the second quarter of Fiscal 2023 was principally due to a decline in employee compensation and benefits expense primarily resulting from a reduction in performance-based compensation and disciplined cost management. For the first six months of Fiscal 2023, a decrease in employee compensation and benefits expense was offset by increases in other selling, general, and administrative expenses.

We continue to make selective 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 to modernize our IT operations.

Operating Income

During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, our operating income increased 25% to $1.3 billion and 41% to $2.8 billion, respectively. These increases were primarily due to the favorable impact of a decrease in amortization of intangible assets and growth in operating income for ISG. Growth in ISG operating income for the second quarter of Fiscal 2023 was driven by our server and networking and storage offerings while, for the first six months of Fiscal 2023, ISG operating income growth was primarily due to strength in our storage offerings. During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, our non-GAAP operating income increased 4% to $2.0 billion and 12% to $4.1 billion driven by the same ISG dynamics discussed above.

Operating income as a percentage of net revenue increased 60 basis points to 4.8% and 110 basis points to 5.4% during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, respectively. These increases were primarily driven by a decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue due to continued disciplined cost management and the favorable impact of a decrease in amortization of intangible assets. The effect of these factors was partially offset by declines in gross margin as a percentage of net revenue primarily due to the impacts of an overall increase in cost of net revenue and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which were not entirely offset by pricing adjustments as we balanced profitability with competitive positioning. Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of net revenue decreased 30 basis points to 7.4% and was flat at 7.8% during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, respectively, driven by declines in gross margin as a percentage of net revenue offset by decreases in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue.

Interest and Other, Net

The following table presents information regarding interest and other, net for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	July 29, 2022		July 30, 2021		July 29, 2022		July 30, 2021

During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, the change in interest and other, net was unfavorable by $343 million and $392 million, respectively. The unfavorable change in both periods was primarily attributable to the net loss on investments as a result of fair value adjustments on our non-marketable strategic investment portfolio discussed above, which were partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on lower average outstanding debt balances.

Income and Other Taxes

The following table presents information regarding our income and other taxes for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	July 29, 2022			July 30, 2021			July 29, 2022			July 30, 2021

Effective income tax rate	20.3		%	13.2		%	14.8		%	9.6		%

Table of Contents

For the second quarter of Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, our effective income tax rate was 20.3% and 13.2%, respectively. For the first six months of Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, our effective income tax rate was 14.8% and 9.6%, respectively. For the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, the changes in the Company’s effective tax rates were primarily attributable to changes in discrete tax items. Other increases in our effective income tax rates were driven by a change in our jurisdictional mix of income and higher U.S. tax on foreign operations, the effects of which were partially offset by higher benefits from foreign tax credits.

Higher U.S. tax on foreign operations was due to the capitalization of research and development costs. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was enacted on December 22, 2017, research and development expenses incurred for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021 must be capitalized and amortized ratably over five or 15 years for tax purposes, depending on where the research activities were conducted. Our effective income tax rate for future quarters of Fiscal 2023 may be impacted by actions taken by the U.S. government to defer or repeal this provision, as well as by the actual mix of jurisdictions in which income is generated and the impact of any discrete tax items. In addition, if the provision is not deferred or repealed, we expect it will result in a significant increase in our cash tax liabilities for Fiscal 2023, as well as a significant reduction to our deferred tax liabilities.

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 rate 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 that is 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. Our other tax holidays will expire in whole or in part during Fiscal 2030 through 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. As of July 29, 2022, we were not aware of any matters of noncompliance related to these tax holidays.

For further discussion regarding tax matters, including the status of income tax audits, see Note 12 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

See “Introduction – Business Trends and Challenges – Inflation Reduction Act” for a discussion of recent tax legislation.

Net Income from Continuing Operations

Net income from continuing operations was $0.5 billion and $0.6 billion during the second quarter of Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, respectively. The decrease was driven principally by an unfavorable change in interest and other, net, partially offset by an increase in operating income.

During the first six months of Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, net income from continuing operations was $1.6 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an increase in operating income, partially offset by an unfavorable change in interest and other, net and an increase in tax expense.

Non-GAAP net income was $1.3 billion and $2.7 billion for the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, respectively, compared to $1.2 billion and $2.2 billion for the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2022, respectively. The increases were primarily attributable to an increase in non-GAAP operating income and a favorable change in interest and other, net, partially offset by an increase in tax expense during the current periods.

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 17 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 (loss), respectively.

Infrastructure Solutions Group

The following table presents net revenue and operating income attributable to ISG for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
	July 29, 2022			% Change		July 30, 2021			July 29, 2022			% Change		July 30, 2021

% of segment net revenue	11.0		%			11.3		%	11.3		%			10.5		%

Net Revenue — During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, ISG net revenue increased 12% and 13%, respectively, driven by strength across both servers and networking and storage offerings.

Revenue from sales of servers and networking increased 16% and 19% during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, respectively. The increases were primarily driven by an increase in average selling price of our server offerings, the effect of which was partially offset by a decrease in units sold. The average selling price for our server offerings increased as a result of a shift in mix within servers, richer configurations, and continued actions to manage pricing in response to increased input costs.

During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, storage revenue increased 6% and 8%, respectively, due to continued strength across the majority of our storage offerings.

ISG customers are interested in new and innovative models that address how they consume our solutions. We offer options that include as-a-Service, utility, leases, and immediate pay models which are designed to match customers’ consumption and financing preferences. Our multiyear agreements typically result in recurring revenue streams over the term of the arrangement. We expect that our flexible consumption models and as-a-Service offerings through APEX will further strengthen our customer relationships and provide a foundation for growth in recurring revenue.

From a geographical perspective, net revenue attributable to ISG increased in all regions during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023.

Operating Income — During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, ISG operating income as a percentage of net revenue decreased 30 basis points to 11.0%. The decrease was principally attributable to the impacts of an increase in cost of net revenue and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations which were not entirely offset by pricing adjustments. The effect of these impacts was partially mitigated by the favorable impact of a decrease in operating expense as a percentage of revenue.

Table of Contents

During the first six months of Fiscal 2023, ISG operating income as a percentage of net revenue increased 80 basis points to 11.3%, primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue that resulted from strong revenue growth and disciplined cost management. The favorable impact of the decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue was partially offset by the impacts of an increase in cost of net revenue and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations which were not entirely offset by pricing adjustments, coupled with a shift in revenue mix towards servers and networking.

% of segment net revenue	6.3		%			6.9		%	6.7		%			7.5		%

Net Revenue — During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, CSG net revenue increased 9% and 13%, respectively, primarily driven by an increase in revenue attributable to our commercial offerings, partially offset by a decline in consumer net revenue.

Commercial net revenue increased 15% and 18% during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, respectively, principally as a result of an increase in the average selling price of our commercial offerings.

Consumer net revenue decreased 9% and 3% during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in units sold, partially offset by the effect of an increase in the average selling price of our consumer offerings.

Our average selling prices increased as a result of a shift in mix towards commercial offerings, richer configurations, and continued actions to manage pricing in response to the macroeconomic environment.

From a geographical perspective, net revenue attributable to CSG increased across all regions during the first six months of Fiscal 2023. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, net revenue attributable to CSG increased in the Americas and APJ and was flat in EMEA.

Operating Income — During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023, CSG operating income as a percentage of net revenue decreased 60 basis points to 6.3% and 80 basis points to 6.7%, respectively, primarily due to the impacts of an increase in cost of net revenue and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations which were not entirely offset by pricing adjustments, as we balanced profitability with competitive positioning. The effect of these impacts was partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue as a result of 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 $13.4 billion and $12.9 billion as of July 29, 2022 and January 28, 2022, respectively. We maintain an allowance for expected credit losses to cover receivables that may be deemed uncollectible. As of July 29, 2022 and January 28, 2022, the allowance for expected credit losses was $75 million and $90 million, respectively. Based on our assessment, we believe that we are adequately reserved for expected credit losses. We will continue to monitor the aging of our accounts receivable and take actions, where necessary, to reduce our exposure to credit losses.

Dell Financial Services and Financing Receivables

The Company offers or arranges 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. The Company further strengthens our customer relationships through its flexible consumption models, which enable us to offer our customers the option to pay over time and, in certain cases, based on utilization, to provide them with financial flexibility to meet their changing technological requirements. New financing originations were $2.3 billion and $1.9 billion for the second quarter of Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, respectively, and $4.4 billion and $3.8 billion for the first six months of Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, respectively.

The Company’s leases are generally classified as sales-type leases or operating leases. Amounts due from lessees under sales-type leases or direct financing leases are recorded as part of financing receivables, with interest income recognized over the contract term. Upon commencement of sales-type leases, we typically qualify for up-front revenue recognition. Upon origination of operating leases, we record equipment under operating leases, classified as property, plant, and equipment. Over the contract term of an operating lease, we recognize rental revenue and depreciation expense, classified as cost of net revenue.

As of July 29, 2022 and January 28, 2022, our financing receivables, net were $10.3 billion and $10.6 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 second quarter and first six months of both Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, the principal charge-off rate for our financing receivables portfolio was 0.5%. The credit quality of our financing receivables has improved in recent years as the mix of high-quality commercial accounts in our portfolio has continued to increase. 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 July 29, 2022 and January 28, 2022, the residual interest recorded as part of financing receivables was $150 million and $217 million, respectively. The decline in residual interest was principally attributable to a corresponding increase in originations of operating leases. 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 impairment. 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 second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022.

As of July 29, 2022 and January 28, 2022, equipment under operating leases, net was $2.0 billion and $1.7 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 second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022.

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.

Table of Contents

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 5 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

To support our ongoing business operations, we rely on operating cash flows as our primary source of liquidity. 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 expected to be available under our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program, will be sufficient over at least 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 drive growth while maintaining our investment grade rating and focusing on returning capital to our stockholders through both share repurchase programs and dividend payments.

The following table presents our cash and cash equivalents as well as our available borrowings as of the dates indicated:


	July 29, 2022		January 28, 2022
	(in millions)
Cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	5,507	$	9,477
Remaining available borrowings under revolving credit facilities	4,999		4,969
Total cash, cash equivalents, and available borrowings	$	10,506	$	14,446

During the first six months of Fiscal 2023, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $4.0 billion, primarily driven by return of capital to stockholders, through share repurchases and dividend payments, and capital expenditures.

Our revolving credit facilities as of July 29, 2022 consist of the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility, which has a maximum capacity of $5.0 billion. Available borrowings under this facility are reduced by draws on the facility and outstanding letters of credit. As of July 29, 2022, there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility and remaining available borrowings totaled approximately $5.0 billion. The 2021 Revolving Credit Facility also acts as a backstop to provide liquidity support for our commercial paper program discussed below.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, we established 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 July 29, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under the program.

We may regularly use our available borrowings from the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility and issuances under the commercial paper program on a short-term basis for general corporate purposes. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information.

Carrying value adjustments	(269)		12		(281)
Total debt, carrying value	$	26,934	$	(20)	$	26,954

As of July 29, 2022, the outstanding principal amount of our debt of $27.2 billion remained effectively unchanged from January 28, 2022.

We define core debt as the total principal amount of our debt, less DFS related debt and other debt. Our core debt was $16.1 billion as of July 29, 2022 and January 28, 2022. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more 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 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 our DFS operating leases, net. The debt-to-equity ratio is based on the underlying credit quality of the assets. See Note 5 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information about our DFS debt.

We have made steady progress in paying down debt and we will continue to pursue deleveraging as an important component of our overall strategy. As a result of our debt reduction and liability management strategy, we achieved an investment grade corporate family rating from three major credit rating agencies during Fiscal 2022.

We believe we will continue to be able to make our debt principal and interest payments, including the 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 or our revolving credit facility. 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. There are no scheduled maturities related to our outstanding core debt during Fiscal 2023. However, 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.

Cash flows for the six months ended July 30, 2021 are inclusive of cash flows attributable to VMware. Effective November 1, 2021, as a result of the VMware Spin-off, cash flows ceased to include VMware. See “Introduction” and Note 1 and Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information regarding the VMware Spin-off.

Operating Activities — Cash provided by operating activities was $0.5 billion during the first six months of Fiscal 2023 and reflects continued profitability partially offset by the impact of working capital dynamics. During the first six months of Fiscal 2022, cash provided by operating activities was $4.0 billion, of which $2.1 billion represents cash provided by operating activities attributable to VMware, and was driven by both strong profitability coupled with favorable working capital dynamics.

Investing Activities — Investing activities primarily consist of cash used to fund capital expenditures for property, plant, and equipment, which includes equipment under DFS operating leases. Additional activities include capitalized software development costs, strategic investments, and the maturities, sales, and purchases of investments. During the first six months of Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, cash used in investing activities was $1.5 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, and was primarily applied to capital expenditures.

Financing Activities — Financing activities primarily consist of the proceeds and repayments of debt and cash used to repurchase common stock. Cash used in financing activities was $2.8 billion during the first six months of Fiscal 2023 and primarily consisted of repurchases of common stock, payments to settle employee tax withholding on stock-based compensation, and the payment of quarterly dividends. Cash used in financing activities of $5.3 billion during the first six months of Fiscal 2022 primarily consisted of debt repayments and repurchases of common stock by our public subsidiaries.

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 DFS 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 $4.4 billion and $3.8 billion during the first six months of Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, respectively. As of July 29, 2022, DFS had $10.3 billion of total net financing receivables and $2.0 billion of equipment under DFS operating leases, net.

Cash Requirements and Expenditures

Capital Expenditures — We spent $1.5 billion and $1.3 billion during the first six months of Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, respectively, on property, plant, and equipment and capitalized software development costs, of which the funding of equipment under DFS operating leases totaled $0.5 billion and $0.4 billion, respectively. 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. Aggregate capital expenditures for Fiscal 2023 are currently expected to total between $3.1 billion and $3.3 billion, of which approximately $1.1 billion of expenditures are expected to be applied to equipment under DFS operating leases and approximately $0.4 billion to capitalized software development costs.

Table of Contents

Repurchases of Common Stock — Effective as of September 23, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program with no established expiration date under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $5 billion of shares of our Class C Common Stock. During the first six months of Fiscal 2023, we repurchased approximately 42 million shares of Class C Common Stock under this program for a total purchase price of approximately $2.1 billion.

Dividend Payments — On February 24, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy under which the Company intends to pay quarterly cash dividends on its common stock at an initial rate of $0.33 per share per fiscal quarter. During the six months ended July 29, 2022, the Company paid the following dividends:


Declaration Date	Record Date	Payment Date	Dividend per Share		Amount (in millions)
February 24, 2022	April 20, 2022	April 29, 2022	$	0.33	$	248
June 7, 2022	July 20, 2022	July 29, 2022	$	0.33	$	242

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 supplier’s 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.

As of July 29, 2022, such purchase obligations were $4.0 billion, $0.5 billion, and $0.8 billion for the remaining six months of Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal 2025 and thereafter, respectively.

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 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more 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. As a result, we do not anticipate any material losses from interest rate risk.

Summarized Guarantor Financial Information

As discussed in Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report, Dell International L.L.C. and EMC Corporation (the “Issuers”), both of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Dell Technologies Inc., completed private offerings of multiple series of senior secured notes issued on June 1, 2016, March 20, 2019, and April 9, 2020 (the “Senior Notes”). In June 2021, the Issuers completed an exchange offer and issued $18.4 billion aggregate principal amount of registered senior notes under the Securities Act of 1933 in exchange for the same principal amount and substantially identical terms of the Senior Notes. The aggregate principal amount of unregistered Senior Notes remaining outstanding following the settlement of the exchange offer was approximately $0.1 billion. During Fiscal 2022, the tangible and intangible assets of the Issuers and guarantors that secured obligations under the Senior Notes were released as collateral. As a result, the Senior Notes became fully unsecured. In addition, all guarantees of the Senior Notes by subsidiaries of Dell Inc. were released.

Guarantees — The Senior Notes are guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by Dell Technologies Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Denali Intermediate, Inc. and Dell Inc. (collectively, the “Guarantors”).
