Insights
Dell delivered a sharply higher profit quarter, driven by infrastructure and client segment strength and investment gains, while maintaining solid liquidity.
Dell Technologies posted net revenue of $43.842 billion and operating income of $3.656 billion, with net income climbing to $3.438 billion. Both Infrastructure Solutions Group and Client Solutions Group contributed meaningfully to segment operating income of $4.225 billion.
Cash generation was robust, with operating cash flow of $4.081 billion in the quarter. Management returned capital via $1.6 billion in share repurchases and $0.410 billion in dividends at $0.630 per share, while total debt edged down to $31.161 billion and cash and equivalents stood at $11.753 billion.
Strategic investments were a notable earnings driver, with net unrealized gains on equity and other securities of $0.631 billion, including a single non-marketable investee contributing about $0.6 billion. Remaining performance obligations of approximately $97 billion indicate a sizable contracted revenue base, much of which is expected to be recognized within the next two years.

6 terms
Deferred revenue financial
"Deferred revenue consists of support and deployment services, software maintenance, training, software-as-a-service, and undelivered hardware and professional services"
Cash a company has already received for goods or services it has promised but not yet delivered; it's recorded as a liability because the company still owes that product, service, or future revenue recognition. For investors, deferred revenue signals upcoming work or deliveries that will convert into reported sales over time and affects short-term obligations, cash flow quality, and how quickly a firm can grow recognized revenue—think of it like prepaid subscriptions or gift cards a business must honor later.
Variable Interest Entities financial
"The Company also consolidates Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") where it has been determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary"
A variable interest entity (VIE) is a business that a company controls through contracts or special arrangements instead of owning a majority of its shares, like steering a puppet without holding its ticket. Investors care because these arrangements can hide who really bears the financial risks and rewards, affect how assets and liabilities appear on financial statements, and create extra legal or enforcement uncertainty that can change the value and risk of an investment.
DFS debt financial
"The majority of DFS debt is non-recourse to Dell Technologies and represents borrowings under securitization programs and structured financing programs"
Cash flow hedges financial
"The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risks"
A cash flow hedge is an accounting label companies use when they enter financial contracts—like currency or interest-rate agreements—to protect expected future cash payments or receipts from unpredictable moves. For investors, it signals that the company is trying to smooth out future cash variability (think of locking in a price to avoid surprises), which can reduce reported profit swings but also means the company has exposure to derivative instruments and their associated risks.
Remaining performance obligations financial
"The value of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations as of May 1, 2026 was approximately $97 billion"
Remaining performance obligations are the work a company still needs to complete for its customers, like finishing a service or delivering a product. It’s important because it shows how much future income the company has coming in from current agreements, giving a clearer picture of its ongoing business.
Senior Notes financial
"The Senior Notes have maturity dates ranging from 2026 through 2051"
Senior notes are a type of loan that a company borrows from investors, promising to pay it back with interest. They are called "senior" because in case the company faces financial trouble, these lenders are paid back before others. This makes senior notes safer for investors compared to other types of loans or bonds.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 — OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Dell Technologies is a leader in the global technology industry that designs, develops, manufactures, markets, sells, and supports a wide range of comprehensive and integrated solutions, products, and services. Dell Technologies offerings include servers, networking, storage, cloud solutions, desktops, notebooks, services, software, branded peripherals, and third-party software and peripherals. References in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to the “Company” or “Dell Technologies” mean Dell Technologies Inc. individually and together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2026. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company as of May 1, 2026 and January 30, 2026 and the results of its operations, corresponding comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the three months ended May 1, 2026 and May 2, 2025.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of its operations, corresponding comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the three months ended May 1, 2026 and May 2, 2025 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 ending January 29, 2027 and the fiscal year ended January 30, 2026 may be referred to as “Fiscal 2027” and “Fiscal 2026,” respectively. Both the fiscal year ending January 29, 2027 and the fiscal year ended January 30, 2026 are 52-week periods.
Principles of Consolidation — These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Dell Technologies Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as the accounts of SecureWorks Corp. (“Secureworks”), which was majority-owned by Dell Technologies through the date of the sale of Secureworks as discussed below. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
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 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding consolidated VIEs.
Secureworks — On February 3, 2025, the sale of Secureworks to Sophos Inc., an affiliate of Thoma Bravo, L.P., was completed in an all-cash transaction for a purchase price of approximately $0.9 billion. The Company received total cash consideration for the equity interest held in Secureworks of approximately $0.6 billion, resulting in a gain on sale of $0.2 billion recognized in interest and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended May 2, 2025.
Related Party Transactions — The Company enters into purchase and sales transactions with other publicly-traded and privately-held companies, as well as not-for-profit organizations, that could be influenced by members of the Company’s board of directors, executive officers, or significant stockholders. The Company enters into these arrangements in the ordinary course of its business. Transactions with related parties were immaterial for the three months ended May 1, 2026 and May 2, 2025.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations — In May 2026, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to improve the financial accounting disclosure of environmental credits and environmental credit obligations, providing recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for all entities that generate, purchase, or receive environmental credits or have a regulatory compliance obligation that may be settled with environmental credits. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance will be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact and timing of adoption of this guidance.
Internal-Use Software — In September 2025, the FASB issued guidance to modernize internal-use software capitalization by removing references to software development project stages, increasing the operability of the recognition guidance permitting consideration of different methods of software development, including the agile method. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or through a modified approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact and timing of adoption of this guidance.
Expense Disaggregation Disclosures — In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance to improve disclosures about a public entity’s expenses by requiring disclosure of additional information about the types of expenses commonly presented in the financial statements on an annual and interim basis. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance will be applied prospectively. Adoption of this new guidance will result in increased disclosures in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial instruments at fair value.
Marketable Equity and Other Securities — The Company’s investments in equity and other securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of strategic investments in publicly-traded companies. The valuation of these securities is based on quoted prices in active markets.

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 financial assets such as the Company’s strategic investments in non-marketable equity and other securities and non-financial assets such as goodwill and intangible assets.
Carrying Value and Estimated Fair Value of Outstanding Debt — The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt as described in Note 6 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the current portion, as of the dates indicated:

NOTE 3 — INVESTMENTS
The Company has strategic investments in equity and other securities as well as immaterial investments in fixed income debt securities that are recorded as long-term investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. As of May 1, 2026 and January 30, 2026, total investments were $2.5 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively.
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. Investments in non-marketable equity and other securities primarily represent early-stage companies without readily determinable fair values. The Company has elected to apply the measurement alternative for non-marketable securities which allows investments without readily determinable fair values to be measured at cost, less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes. The Company makes a separate election to apply the measurement 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.

(a)During the three months ended May 1, 2026, net unrealized gains on non-marketable securities was primarily attributable to an upward observable price adjustment of $0.6 billion related to a single investee.
As of May 1, 2026 and January 30, 2026, the cumulative unrealized gains on non-marketable securities were $1.8 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. As of both May 1, 2026 and January 30, 2026, the cumulative unrealized losses, including impairments, on non-marketable securities were $0.3

NOTE 4 — FINANCIAL SERVICES
The Company offers or arranges a portfolio of payment and consumption solutions and services for its customers globally, including utility, subscription, as-a-Service, leases, and loans, designed to match customers' consumption and financing preferences and to provide operational and financial flexibility.
To support financing solutions and services as part of the Dell Technologies portfolio, Dell Financial Services and its affiliates (“DFS”) originate, collect, and service customer financing arrangements primarily related to the purchase and use of Dell Technologies products and services. In some cases, the Company also offers financing for the purchase of third-party technology products that complement the portfolio of the Company’s products and services. New financing originations were $2.8 billion and $1.6 billion for the three months ended May 1, 2026 and May 2, 2025, respectively.
The Company’s financing arrangements with customers are aggregated as fixed-term leases and loans as described below.
Leases — The Company enters into fixed-term financing arrangements with customers who seek lease financing for equipment. Leases are generally classified as sales-type leases or operating leases. Additionally, utility, subscription, and as-a-Service flexible consumption models may result in identification of embedded lease arrangements that require the recognition of sales-type leases or operating leases. Leases with business customers generally have fixed terms of two to five years .
Loans — 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 periodic payments including interest and have defined terms typically ranging from one 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 recognizes an allowance for financing receivable losses, including both the lease receivable and unguaranteed residual, in an amount equal to the expected credit losses, net of recoveries. The allowance for financing receivable losses on the lease receivable is determined based on various factors, including lifetime expected losses determined using macroeconomic forecast assumptions and management judgments applicable to and through the expected life of the portfolios as well as past due receivables, receivable type, and customer risk profile. The Company continues to monitor broader economic indicators and their potential impact on future credit loss performance.
Aging
The following table presents the aging of the Company’s customer financing receivables, gross, including accrued interest, as of the dates indicated:

| Current 0 — 30 Days | $ | $ | |||||||||
| Past Due 31 — 90 Days | |||||||||||
| Past Due > 90 Days | |||||||||||
| Total | $ | $ | |||||||||
Aging is likely to fluctuate as a result of the variability in volume of large transactions entered into over the period, and the administrative processes that accompany those transactions. Aging is also impacted by the timing of the Company’s fiscal period end date relative to calendar month-end customer payment due dates. As a result of these factors, fluctuations in aging from period to period do not necessarily indicate a material change in the collectibility of the portfolio.
Customer receivables are placed on non-accrual status if principal or interest is past due and considered delinquent, or if there is concern about the collectibility of a specific customer receivable. The receivables identified as doubtful for collectibility may be classified as current for aging purposes.

DFS U.S. Debt
Asset-Based Financing Facility — The Company maintains an asset-based financing facility in the United States, which is a revolving facility for fixed-term leases and loans. This debt is collateralized solely by the U.S. lease and loan payments and associated equipment in the facility. The asset-based financing facility consists of two tranches, with effective dates through July 7, 2026 and July 7, 2027, respectively. As of May 1, 2026, the total debt capacity related to the asset-based financing facility was $4.6 billion. The debt has a variable interest rate, and the duration of the debt is based on the terms of the underlying lease and loan payment streams. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to economically convert a portion of this debt from a floating rate to a fixed rate. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the Company’s interest rate swaps.
The asset-based financing facility contains standard structural features related to the performance of the funded receivables, which include defined credit losses, delinquencies, average credit scores, and minimum collection requirements. In the event one or more of these criteria are not met and the Company is unable to restructure the facility, no further funding of receivables will be permitted and the timing of the Company’s expected cash flows from over-collateralization will be delayed. As of May 1, 2026, these criteria were met.
Fixed-Term Securitization Offerings — The Company periodically issues asset-backed debt securities under fixed-term securitization programs to private investors. The asset-backed debt securities are collateralized solely by the U.S. fixed-term lease and loan payments and associated equipment, which are held by Special Purpose Entities (“SPEs”), as discussed below. The interest rate on these securities is fixed and ranges from 4.01 % to 6.75 % per annum as of May 1, 2026, and the duration of these securities is based on the terms of the underlying lease and loan payment streams.
DFS International Debt
Securitization Facility — The Company maintains a securitization facility in Europe for fixed-term leases and loans. The debt under this facility has a variable interest rate, and the duration of the debt is based on the terms of the underlying lease and loan payment streams. This facility is effective through December 22, 2026 and had a total debt capacity of $938 million as of May 1, 2026.
The securitization facility contains standard structural features related to the performance of the securitized receivables, which include defined credit losses, delinquencies, average credit scores, and minimum collection requirements. In the event one or more of these criteria are not met and the Company is unable to restructure the program, no further funding of receivables will be permitted and the timing of the Company’s expected cash flows from over-collateralization will be delayed. As of May 1, 2026, 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, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand, and Singapore. The debt under these programs has a variable interest rate.
The duration of the debt in Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia and New Zealand is based on the terms of the underlying lease and loan payment streams. These facilities are collateralized solely by the lease and loan payments and associated equipment in their respective region or country.
As of May 1, 2026,
•the Canadian facility had a total debt capacity of $258 million and is effective through January 15, 2028,
•the European facility had a total debt capacity of $469 million and is effective through December 14, 2026,
•the Middle East facility had a total debt capacity of $150 million and is effective through March 14, 2028, and
•the Australia and New Zealand facility had a total debt capacity of $306 million and is effective through April 17, 2027.
The Company also has two unsecured Singapore facilities, which had a total debt capacity of $259 million as of May 1, 2026 and are effective through July 12, 2026 and July 3, 2027, respectively. Subsequent to the close of the three months ended May 1, 2026, the Company extended the term of the July 12, 2026 facility to be effective through July 12, 2027.

Dell Bank Senior Unsecured Eurobonds — On October 27, 2021, Dell Bank issued €500 million of 0.5 % senior unsecured five-year eurobonds due October 2026. On October 18, 2022, Dell Bank issued €500 million of 4.5 % senior unsecured five-year eurobonds due October 2027. On June 24, 2024, Dell Bank issued €500 million of 3.6 % senior unsecured five-year eurobonds due June 2029. The issuances of the senior unsecured eurobonds support the expansion of the financing operations in Europe.
Variable Interest Entities
In connection with the asset-based financing facility, fixed-term securitization offerings, and securitization facility discussed above, the Company transfers certain U.S. and European lease and loan payments and associated equipment to SPEs that meet the definition of a VIE and are consolidated, along with the associated debt described above, into the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. The SPEs are bankruptcy-remote legal entities with separate assets and liabilities. The purpose of the SPEs is to facilitate the funding of customer lease and loan 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 offerings 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:

Customer Receivables 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 amounts of customer receivables sold for this purpose were immaterial for both the three months ended May 1, 2026 and May 2, 2025. The Company’s continuing involvement in these customer receivables is primarily limited to servicing arrangements.

NOTE 5 — LEASES
The Company enters into leasing transactions in which the Company is the lessee. These lease contracts are typically classified as operating leases. The Company’s lease contracts are generally for office space 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 property, equipment, and warehouses. As of May 1, 2026, the remaining terms of the Company’s leases generally range from one month to approximately ten years . As of May 1, 2026 and January 30, 2026, there were no material finance leases in which the Company was a lessee.
The Company also enters into leasing transactions in which the Company is the lessor, primarily through customer financing arrangements offered under DFS. DFS originates leases that are primarily classified as either sales-type leases or operating leases.

During the three months ended May 1, 2026, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding $0.5 billion principal amount of 6.02 % Senior Notes due June 2026.
Outstanding Debt
Senior Notes — The Company completed offerings of multiple series of senior notes which were issued on June 1, 2016, March 20, 2019, April 9, 2020, December 13, 2021, January 24, 2023, March 18, 2024, October 8, 2024, April 1, 2025, and October 6, 2025 in aggregate principal amounts of $20.0 billion, $4.5 billion, $2.3 billion, $2.3 billion, $2.0 billion, $1.0 billion, $1.5 billion, $4.0 billion, and $4.5 billion, respectively (collectively, the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes have maturity dates ranging from 2026 through 2051. Interest rates on these borrowings are fixed, ranging from 3.38 % to 8.35 % per annum, and interest is payable semiannually.
Legacy Notes — The Company has outstanding unsecured notes and debentures (collectively, the “Legacy Notes”) that were issued by Dell Inc. (“Dell”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Technologies Inc., prior to the acquisition of Dell by Dell Technologies Inc. in the going-private transaction that closed in October 2013. The Legacy Notes’ maturities range from 2028 through 2040. Interest rates on these borrowings are fixed, ranging from 5.40 % to 7.10 % per annum, and interest is payable semiannually.
DFS Debt — See Note 4 and Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, respectively, for discussion of DFS debt and the interest rate swap agreements that hedge a portion of that debt.
Revolving Credit Facility — The Company’s revolving credit facility provides the Company with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $6.0 billion for general corporate purposes and includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $0.5 billion and a swing-line loan sub-facility of up to $0.5 billion. The revolving credit facility allows the Company to obtain incremental additional commitments on one or more occasions in minimum amounts of $10 million. The facility also acts as a backstop to provide liquidity support for the Company’s commercial paper program.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the borrowers’ option, either (a) the specified adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or (b) a base rate. The margin applicable to SOFR and base rate borrowings varies based upon the Company’s existing credit ratings.

NOTE 7 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
As part of its risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments, primarily foreign currency forward and option contracts and interest rate swaps, to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures, respectively.
The Company’s objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from these exposures with gains and losses on the derivative contracts used to hedge the exposures, thereby reducing volatility of earnings and protecting the fair values of assets and liabilities. The earnings effects of the derivative instruments are presented in the same line items on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the earnings effects of the hedged items. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the Company assesses hedge effectiveness both at the onset of the hedge and at regular intervals throughout the life of the instruments.
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 forward contracts is equal to the exchange rate differential from the time the contract is entered into until the time it is settled. The risk of loss associated with purchased options is limited to premium amounts paid for the option contracts. The majority of these contracts typically expire in twelve months or less.
During the three months ended May 1, 2026 and May 2, 2025, the Company did not discontinue any cash flow hedges related to foreign exchange contracts that had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations due to the probability that the forecasted cash flows would not occur.
The Company uses forward contracts to hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency. These contracts generally expire in three months or less, are considered economic hedges, and are not designated for hedge accounting. The change in the fair value of these instruments represents a natural hedge as their gains and losses offset the changes in the underlying fair value of the monetary assets and liabilities due to movements in currency exchange rates.
In connection with DFS operations in Europe, forward contracts are used to hedge financing receivables denominated in foreign currencies other than Euro. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting and most expire within three years or less.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in cash flows related to the interest rate payments on structured financing debt. The interest rate swaps economically convert the variable rate on the structured financing debt to a fixed interest rate to match the underlying fixed rate being received on fixed-term customer leases and loans. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting and most expire within four years or less.
Interest rate swaps are utilized to manage the interest rate risk, at a portfolio level, associated with DFS operations in Europe. The interest rate swaps economically convert the fixed rate on financing receivables to a one-month or three-month Euribor floating rate in order to match the floating rate nature of the banks’ funding pool. The Company also uses interest rate swaps to manage the cash flows related to interest payments on Dell Bank senior unsecured eurobonds. The interest rate swaps economically convert the fixed rate on the eurobonds to a floating rate to match the underlying lease repayments profile. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting and most expire within five years or less. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the senior unsecured eurobonds.
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 rate. The notional value of the swaps amortizes in line with the expected cash flows and runoff of the securitized assets. The swaps are not designated for hedge accounting and expire within five years or less.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairment Testing
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually during the third fiscal quarter and whenever events or circumstances may indicate that an impairment has occurred.
For the annual impairment review performed during the third quarter of Fiscal 2026, the Company assessed the goodwill in each of its reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company is permitted to conduct a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company’s qualitative assessment included consideration of the relevant events and circumstances affecting the reporting unit, including macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, recent market transactions, overall financial performance, trends in the public company market valuation, changes in projected future cash flows, and the results of the most recent quantitative assessment, where applicable. Based on this assessment, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the estimated fair values of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets were higher than their respective carrying values. No goodwill or indefinite-lived assets impairment test was performed during the three months ended May 1, 2026.

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

| Deferred revenue at end of period | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Short-term | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Long-term | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations not delivered, or partially undelivered, as of the end of the reporting period. Remaining performance obligations include deferred revenue plus unbilled amounts not yet recorded in deferred revenue. The value of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations as of May 1, 2026 was approximately $97 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately 80 % of remaining performance obligations as revenue in the next twelve months , approximately 10 % in the following 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 multiple factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidation, adjustments for revenue that have not materialized, and adjustments for currency.

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Purchase Obligations
The Company has contractual obligations that are enforceable and legally binding to purchase goods or services and that 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 include the non-cancelable portion or the minimum cancellation fee under the contract, and are primarily related to commitments with suppliers, software maintenance, and support services. As of May 1, 2026, such purchase obligations were $16.9 billion for the remainder of Fiscal 2027, $1.2 billion for Fiscal 2028, $1.4 billion for Fiscal 2029, $0.8 billion for Fiscal 2030, and $0.5 billion for Fiscal 2031 and thereafter.
Legal Matters
The Company is involved in various claims, suits, assessments, investigations, and legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including those identified below, consisting of matters involving consumer, antitrust, tax, intellectual property, and other issues on a global basis.
The Company accrues a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. The Company reviews these accruals at least quarterly and adjusts them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other relevant information. To the extent new information is obtained and the Company’s views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations, or legal proceedings change, changes in the Company’s accrued liabilities are recorded in the period in which such a determination is made. For some matters, the incurrence of a liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and therefore accruals have not been made.
Class Action Relating to Dell 401(k) Plan — On January 28, 2026, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas in a putative class action captioned Lowbruck et al. v. Dell Technologies Inc., et al., against the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors, and the Dell Benefits Administration Committee alleging a breach of fiduciary duties under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). In the complaint, the plaintiffs seek a judicial declaration that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by failing to remove imprudent investments from the Dell 401(k) (“Plan”) in a reasonable time, engaging in transactions allegedly prohibited under ERISA, and failing to monitor the fiduciaries responsible for the Plan’s administration. The plaintiffs also seek, among other remedies, an award of damages, fees, and costs in an unspecified amount. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action.
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 across all proceedings or matters. In addition, the Company also discloses matters based on its consideration of other matters and qualitative factors, including the experience of other companies in the industry, and investor, customer, and employee relations considerations. As of May 1, 2026, the Company does not believe there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss exceeding the amounts already accrued for across all 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.

NOTE 11 — INCOME AND OTHER TAXES
For the three months ended May 1, 2026, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 12.9 % on pre-tax income of $3.9 billion compared to 10.9 % on pre-tax income of $1.1 billion for the three months ended May 2, 2025. The changes in the Company’s effective income tax rate were primarily driven by discrete tax items. For the three months ended May 1, 2026 and May 2, 2025, the Company recorded discrete tax benefits of $0.2 billion and $0.1 billion, respectively, related to stock-based compensation.
The differences between the estimated effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% is primarily due to foreign earnings taxed at different rates, as well as to discrete tax items.
In June 2023, the Company received a Revenue Agent’s Report for the federal income tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) of fiscal years 2018 through 2019. The IRS proposed significant adjustments primarily relating to certain transactions the Company completed as part of its business integration efforts. In August 2023, the Company submitted a written protest to the IRS relating to certain assessments. The Company received a rebuttal from the IRS to its written protest in April 2024. The Company disagrees with the IRS’s proposed adjustments and will contest them through the IRS administrative appeals procedures. The Company expects to continue discussions with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals throughout the fiscal year and anticipates that the appeals process for the resolution of these matters will extend beyond the next twelve months. The IRS is also currently conducting a federal income tax examination of the Company for fiscal years 2020 through 2022.
The Company is also currently under income tax audits in various U.S. state and foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company is undergoing negotiations, and in some cases contested proceedings, relating to tax matters with the taxing authorities in these jurisdictions. With respect to major U.S. state and foreign taxing jurisdictions, the Company is generally not subject to tax examinations for years prior to the fiscal year ended February 2, 2018.
The Company believes that it has provided adequate reserves related to all income tax matters contained in tax periods open to examination, including the IRS audits described above. Although the Company believes it has made adequate provisions for the uncertainties with respect to these audits, should the Company experience unfavorable outcomes, such outcomes could have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

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

NOTE 15 — SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company reports its financial results through two reportable segments which are based on the following business units: Infrastructure Solutions Group (“ISG”) and Client Solutions Group (“CSG”). The Company organizes its reportable segments based on the manner in which management evaluates the performance of the Company.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM is regularly provided and reviews segment revenue and segment operating income to assess the performance of each segment and allocate resources to the segments in the annual planning process. The Company’s measure of segment revenue and segment operating income for management reporting purposes excludes Corporate and other, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and other corporate expenses, as applicable, which are not used in evaluating the results of, or in allocating resources to, the segments. The Company does not allocate assets to its reportable segments for internal reporting purposes. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2026.
ISG includes the Company’s Artificial Intelligence (“AI”)-optimized servers offerings, traditional servers and networking offerings, and storage offerings as major product categories. The Company’s AI-optimized servers are designed to run high-value workloads, including AI model training, fine-tuning, and inferencing. The Company’s traditional servers are high-performance general-purpose servers designed to deliver scalable performance, reliability, and efficient management across a wide range of enterprise workloads. The Company’s networking portfolio includes wide area network infrastructure, data center and edge networking switches, and cables and optics. The Company’s comprehensive storage portfolio includes modern and traditional storage solutions that span primary, unstructured and data protection offerings and are delivered through multiple architectures, including all-flash, purpose-built, software-defined, and hyper-converged infrastructure platforms. ISG also offers software, peripherals, and services, including consulting and support and deployment.
CSG includes the Company’s commercial offerings and consumer offerings as major product categories. The Company’s CSG portfolio includes branded PCs, including notebooks, desktops, and workstations and branded peripherals that include displays, docking stations, keyboards, mice, and webcam and audio devices, as well as third-party software and peripherals. CSG also includes services offerings, such as configuration, support and deployment, and extended warranties.
In March 2024, the Company terminated the Commercial Framework Agreement with VMware, whereby Dell Technologies acted as a distributor of VMware’s stand-alone products and services and purchased such products and services for resale to end-user customers (“VMware Resale”). Dell Technologies no longer acts as a distributor of those products and services, although it continues to support customers that have purchased resale offerings sold in prior periods. The results of VMware Resale transactions are reflected in Corporate and other. The Company continues to integrate and embed certain VMware products and services with the Company’s VxRail solution to end-user customers. The results for this integrated offering are reflected within ISG.

Supply Chain Finance Program
The Company maintains a Supply Chain Finance Program (the “SCF Program”), which enables eligible suppliers, at the supplier's sole discretion, to sell receivables due from the Company to a third-party financial institution. The Company has no involvement in establishing the terms or conditions of the arrangement between its suppliers and the financial institution, no economic interest in a supplier's decision to sell a receivable, and does not provide legally secured assets or other forms of guarantees under the arrangement. The SCF Program does not impact the Company's liquidity, as payments for participating supplier invoices are remitted by the Company to the financial institution on the original invoice due date, regardless of whether an individual invoice is sold by the supplier to the financial institution.
As of May 1, 2026 and January 30, 2026, the Company had $3.1 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, included within accounts payable on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position representing invoices due to suppliers confirmed as valid under the SCF Program.

INTRODUCTION
Company Overview
Dell Technologies is a leader in the global technology industry focused on providing broad and innovative technology solutions for the data and artificial intelligence (“AI”) era. We build and offer solutions ranging from client devices and peripherals to infrastructure solutions across servers, networking, and storage to meet the evolving needs of our customers and drive better business outcomes. With our extensive portfolio and our commitment to innovation, we offer secure, integrated solutions that extend from the edge to the core to the cloud, and we are at the forefront of AI, software-defined, and cloud native infrastructure solutions. Our vision is to become the most essential technology partner. We intend to realize our vision by executing our strategy of leveraging our strengths to extend our leadership positions and capture new growth.
We are organized into two business units which are also our reportable segments: Infrastructure Solutions Group and Client Solutions Group.
Infrastructure Solutions Group (“ISG”) — We provide a comprehensive portfolio of advanced infrastructure solutions designed to help customers simplify, streamline, and automate information technology (“IT”) operations. ISG also offers software, peripherals, and services, including consulting and support and deployment. Our major product categories within ISG include our AI-optimized servers offerings, our traditional servers and networking offerings, and our storage offerings.
•AI-optimized servers — We offer a specialized portfolio of AI-optimized servers designed to handle the most demanding compute-intensive workloads, including AI model training, fine-tuning, and inferencing.
•Traditional servers and networking — Our traditional servers portfolio provides the trusted foundation for modern IT environments, supporting a wide range of general-purpose and mission-critical workloads, including certain AI-related workloads such as inferencing. Our networking portfolio helps our business customers transform and modernize their infrastructure, complementing our storage and AI-optimized and traditional servers offerings, and includes wide area network infrastructure, data center and edge networking switches, and cables and optics.
•Storage — Our comprehensive storage portfolio includes modern and traditional storage solutions that span primary, unstructured and data protection offerings and are delivered through multiple architectures, including all-flash, purpose-built, software-defined, and hyper-converged infrastructure platforms.
47
Table of Contents
Client Solutions Group (“CSG”) — Our CSG portfolio includes branded personal computers (“PCs”), including notebooks, desktops, and workstations, branded peripherals, and third-party software and peripherals. CSG also includes services offerings, such as configuration, support and deployment, and extended warranties. Our major product categories within CSG include our commercial offerings and consumer offerings.
•Commercial — Our commercial portfolio provides customers with solutions centered on flexibility to address their complex needs such as IT modernization, hybrid work transformation, and other critical areas.
•Consumer — Our consumer portfolio provides customers with solutions ranging from essential computing, connectivity, and productivity needs of the everyday user to powerful performance, processing, and end-user experiences in high-end consumer and gaming offerings.
Corporate and other primarily consists of our historical resale of standalone offerings of VMware LLC (formerly VMware, Inc. and individually and together with its subsidiaries, “VMware”), referred to as “VMware Resale.” These offerings are no longer actively sold and Corporate and other is not classified as an operating segment.
For further discussion regarding our current reportable segments, see “Results of Operations — Business Unit Results” and Note 15 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
We offer customers choices in how they acquire our solutions, including traditional purchasing and offerings under the Dell Payment Solutions portfolio. These offerings provide both payment and consumption solutions, including utility, subscription, as-a-Service, leases, and loans, which allow our customers to pay over time and provide them with operational and financial flexibility. Dell Financial Services and its affiliates (“DFS”) support financing solutions and services as part of the portfolio. For additional information about our financing arrangements, see Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
Business Trends and Challenges
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, we executed our strategy and delivered exceptional operating results, generating significant net revenue and operating income growth. The following trends and conditions affected the environment in which we operated:
•Macroeconomic environment: We experienced substantial demand growth across our ISG offerings, resulting in ISG net revenue growth and a continued shift in the mix of the business towards our ISG offerings. Additionally, the demand environment was significant for our CSG offerings, resulting in CSG net revenue growth.
•Demand for AI-optimized servers: Our ISG business benefitted from substantial demand for our AI-optimized servers offerings as customers continue to adopt and further integrate AI, resulting in a significant increase in backlog as we exited the quarter. Given the scale of the AI opportunities, the varying stages of customer readiness, and the frequency of component part updates or transitions, there is inherent non-linearity in the timing of demand and subsequent shipments for our AI-optimized servers offerings, which continues to drive variability in our revenue.
•Technology refresh: Within our ISG business, we continue to see customers modernize and consolidate their data centers as more customers transition to next-generation products and expand capacity to support growing workloads, which has resulted in significant demand within our traditional servers and networking offerings and our storage offerings. Additionally, within our CSG business, the PC refresh cycle is underway as customers continue to upgrade their devices, which has contributed to significant demand for our commercial offerings.
•Supply Chain: We experienced an increase in input costs, driven primarily by higher component costs. Strong and accelerating industry demand for AI‑optimized solutions, together with current limitations in capacity from memory manufacturers, has resulted in global supply constraints and substantial inflation in memory component costs.
•Business modernization initiatives: We continue to prioritize ongoing modernization initiatives to achieve greater efficiencies and streamline our processes, while also continuing to make strategic investments designed to enable growth and innovation. These initiatives have partially contributed to a net reduction in our operating expense rate.

Table of Contents
We remain focused on executing our key strategic priorities, creating long-term value for our shareholders, and addressing our customers’ needs. We have the following expectations regarding our performance for the full fiscal year:
•Revenue: Overall, while customers continue to reassess their spending priorities throughout the year in light of the dynamic commodity supply environment, we expect significant ISG and strong CSG net revenue growth. We expect ISG net revenue growth will be driven largely by increased demand for our servers and networking offerings and, to a lesser extent, our storage offerings. We anticipate CSG net revenue growth to be driven in part by the continuation of the PC refresh cycle.
•Gross margin: We expect margin growth, while balancing anticipated margin rate pressure resulting from a continuing shift in mix towards our AI-optimized servers offerings. We expect the notable inflationary environment for component costs will persist throughout the remainder of Fiscal 2027. We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving commodity supply environment and will leverage the agility and scale of our world-class supply chain as we seek to maintain disciplined pricing while balancing profitability and growth.
•Operating expenses: We continue to advance our own capabilities to change the way we work and make decisions, improve business outcomes and the customer experience, leverage new technology, and optimize business processes. We remain committed to disciplined cost management in coordination with our ongoing business modernization initiatives, and expect to continue to scale operating expenses as we take targeted measures to manage costs, including employee reorganizations, limitation of external hiring, and other actions to align our investments with our strategic priorities and customer needs.
We believe our unique operating advantages provide a foundation to foster business growth, enable innovation, drive efficiencies, and continue to position us for long-term success.
ISG — We expect that ISG will be influenced by the dynamic nature of the IT infrastructure market and the competitive landscape. With our extensive scale and market-leading solutions portfolio, we believe we are well-positioned to navigate these competitive dynamics and evolving technology trends to meet customer needs. By leveraging our collaborative, customer-focused approach to innovation, we aim to deliver relevant new and next-generation solutions and software to our customers swiftly and efficiently. We remain focused on expanding our customer base and enhancing the lifetime value of our customer relationships.
We anticipate that ISG will continue to benefit from technology advancements and interest in AI as customers continue to adopt and integrate AI. The timing of customer purchases reflects the varying stages of adoption of AI by different customer segments and drives variability in our revenue. To meet the growing demand and increasing complexity of our AI-optimized servers offerings, we have increased our purchases of certain components with suppliers, which has resulted in increased inventory levels, higher purchase obligations, and new working capital dynamics. Additionally, frequent component part updates or transitions create additional challenges in managing demand and supply levels. While we have seen lead times shorten, we anticipate the next generation of these components, for which demand remains high, will be subject to supply constraints.
We expect that growth in data will continue to generate long-term demand for our storage solutions and services. We continue to expand our offerings in external storage arrays, which incorporate flexible, cloud-based functionality. We benefit from offering solutions that provide the foundation for AI, enabling organizations to store, protect, and manage data across environments for both traditional and AI workloads. Our storage business is subject to seasonal trends, which may continue to impact ISG results.
CSG — Our CSG offerings are an important element of our strategy, generating strong cash flow and opportunities for cross-selling of complementary solutions. We maintain a broad presence across all segments of the PC market. Our strategic focus is on driving share gain while balancing profitability across all segments, enhancing our product portfolio to address evolving customer needs, and expanding our presence across the broader PC ecosystem through branded peripherals. We anticipate that CSG will benefit from advances in AI over the long-term as customers will require PCs with the ability to run their complex AI workloads.
Competitive dynamics remain an important factor in our CSG business and continue to influence pricing and operating results. We are committed to our long-term CSG strategy and will continue to make investments to innovate across the portfolio. We expect that the CSG demand environment will continue to be subject to seasonal trends and to be influenced by the PC refresh cycle.

Relationship with VMware — In March 2024, following the acquisition of VMware by Broadcom, we terminated our Commercial Framework Agreement with VMware, whereby we acted as a distributor of VMware standalone products and services. We no longer act as a distributor of those products and services, although we continue to support customers that have purchased resale offerings sold in prior periods. We continue to integrate and embed certain VMware products and services with our VxRail solution for end-user customers. The results for this integrated offering are reflected within ISG.
Recurring Revenue and Consumption Models — We expect that our flexible consumption models will further strengthen our customer relationships and provide a foundation for recurring revenue. We define recurring revenue as revenue recognized that is primarily related to hardware and software maintenance, as well as operating leases, subscription, as-a-Service, and usage-based offerings.
Strategic Investments and Acquisitions — As part of our strategy, we will continue to evaluate opportunities for strategic investments through our venture capital investment arm, Dell Technologies Capital, with a focus on emerging technology areas that are relevant to our business and that will complement our existing portfolio of solutions. The technologies or products these companies have under development are typically in the early stages and may never have commercial value, which could result in a loss of a substantial part of our investment in the companies. In addition to these investments, we may also make targeted acquisitions of businesses that advance our strategic objectives and accelerate our innovation agenda.
Foreign Currency Exposure — We manage our business on a U.S. Dollar basis. However, we have a large global presence, generating approximately 45% and 50% of our net revenue from sales to customers outside of the United States during the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 and the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, respectively. As a result, our operating results can be impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We utilize a comprehensive hedging strategy intended to mitigate the impact of foreign currency volatility over time, and we adjust pricing when possible to further minimize foreign currency impacts.
Other Macroeconomic Risks and Uncertainties — The impacts of trade protection measures, including changes in tariffs and trade barriers, changes in government policies and international trade arrangements, geopolitical volatility associated with terrorism, military conflicts (including the Iran conflict), and other events, and global macroeconomic conditions, or uncertainty regarding the impact of proposed or future trade protection measures, may affect our results of operations in some markets. We continue to leverage the agility and scale of our world-class supply chain to mitigate impacts of trade protection measures and will continue to respond to changing market conditions as needed.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In this management’s discussion and analysis, we use supplemental measures of our performance which are derived from our consolidated financial information but which are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP product gross margin; non-GAAP services gross margin; non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP operating expenses; non-GAAP operating income; non-GAAP net income; non-GAAP earnings per share - diluted; free cash flow; and adjusted free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance or liquidity in isolation from or as a substitute for gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, net income, diluted earnings per share, or cash flows from operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis.
We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in financial planning and forecasting and when evaluating our financial results and operating trends and performance. We believe, when used supplementally with GAAP financial measures, these non-GAAP financial measures provide our investors with useful and transparent information to help them evaluate our results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our results of operations and enabling them to make period to period comparisons. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
Non-GAAP product gross margin, non-GAAP services gross margin, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP earnings per share - diluted, as defined by us, exclude amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, other corporate (income) expenses and, for non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share - diluted, fair value adjustments on equity investments and an aggregate adjustment for income taxes. As the excluded items may have a material impact on our financial results, our management compensates for this limitation by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures supplementally or for projections when comparable GAAP financial measures are not available.
Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented below. We encourage you to review the reconciliations in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. The discussion below includes information on each of the excluded items as well as our reasons for excluding them from our non-GAAP results. In future fiscal periods, we may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items. Accordingly, the exclusion of these items and other similar items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual.
The following is a summary of the items excluded from the most comparable GAAP financial measures to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures.
•Amortization of Intangible Assets — Amortization of intangible assets primarily consists of the amortization of customer relationships, developed technology, and trade names. In connection with our acquisition by merger of EMC Corporation in 2016, all of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities were accounted for and recognized at fair value on the transaction date. We exclude amortization charges for the amortization of intangible assets as they do not reflect our current operating performance and charges are significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions and, as a result, may vary in amount from period to period.
•Stock-based Compensation Expense — Stock-based compensation expense consists of equity awards granted based on the estimated fair value of those awards at grant date. To estimate the fair value of performance-based awards containing a market condition, we use the Monte Carlo valuation model. For other share-based awards, the fair value is generally based on the closing price of the Class C Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant or most recent preceding trading day if the grant date falls on a non-trading day. Although stock-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation of our employees and executives, we exclude such expense because the fair value of the stock-based awards may fluctuate based on factors unrelated to the operating performance of the business and may bear little resemblance to the actual value realized upon the vesting or future exercise of the related stock-based awards.

•Other Corporate (Income) Expenses — Other corporate (income) expenses consist primarily of severance expenses, transaction-related impacts of the sales of businesses, payroll taxes associated with stock-based compensation, incentive charges related to equity investments, and transaction-related expenses. Severance costs are primarily related to severance and benefits for employees impacted by cost management initiatives. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, we recognized $0.2 billion of severance expense related to workforce reduction activities. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, we recognized a $0.2 billion gain related to the sale of our subsidiary SecureWorks Corp. (“Secureworks”). Although we may incur these types of items in the future, we exclude other corporate (income) expenses as they can vary from period to period, are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of these events, and are not used by management in assessing operating performance of the business.
•Fair Value Adjustments on Equity Investments — Fair value adjustments on equity investments primarily consist of the gain (loss) on strategic investments, which includes recurring fair value adjustments of investments in publicly-traded companies, as well as those in privately-held companies, which are adjusted for observable price changes and any potential impairments. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, we recognized a $0.6 billion gain from our strategic investment portfolio related to a single investee. See Note 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information on our strategic investment activity. We exclude fair value adjustments on equity investments given the volatility in ongoing adjustments to the valuation of these strategic investments and because such adjustments are unrelated to the operating performance of our business.
•Aggregate Adjustment for Income Taxes — The aggregate adjustment for income taxes is the estimated combined income tax effect for the adjustments described above and determined based on the tax jurisdictions where those adjustments were incurred, as well as an adjustment for discrete tax items. We exclude these benefits or charges for purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income due to the variability in recognition of discrete tax items from period to period. The tax effects are determined based on the tax jurisdictions where the above items were incurred. See Note 11 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our income taxes. Our non-GAAP income tax was calculated using a fixed estimated annual tax rate that is determined based on historical trends and projections for the current fiscal year. We may adjust our estimated annual tax rate during the fiscal year to take into account events that would significantly impact our income tax expense, including significant changes resulting from tax legislation, material changes in geographic mix of net revenue and expenses, changes to our corporate structure, and other significant events.

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

Overview
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, net revenue increased by 88%, driven by an increase in ISG net revenue and, to a lesser extent, CSG net revenue that was partially offset by a decrease in Corporate and other net revenue. The increase in ISG net revenue was primarily driven by growth in our AI-optimized servers offerings and, to a lesser extent, our traditional servers and networking offerings and our storage offerings. The increase in CSG net revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in sales of our commercial offerings. Corporate and other net revenue declined primarily due to a decrease in VMware Resale revenue, as we no longer act as a distributor of standalone VMware offerings.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, operating income and non-GAAP operating income increased by 214% to $3.7 billion and 154% to $4.2 billion, respectively. The increases were primarily attributable to an increase in ISG operating income and, to a lesser extent, CSG operating income. The increase in ISG operating income was driven by our servers and networking offerings and, to a lesser extent, our storage offerings. The increase in CSG operating income was driven primarily by our commercial offerings.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, operating income and non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of net revenue increased 330 basis points to 8.3% and 260 basis points to 9.7%, respectively. Operating income as a percentage of net revenue benefited from the favorable impact of a decline in operating expense rate as a result of substantial net revenue growth. The favorable impact of operating expense rate was partially offset by a decline in gross margin rate due to a shift in mix towards our AI-optimized servers offerings.
Cash provided by operating activities was $4.1 billion during the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 and was driven by net revenue growth and profitability, partially offset by working capital dynamics. Working capital was primarily affected by increased demand for our AI-optimized servers offerings. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, cash provided by operating activities was $2.8 billion and was driven by profitability and similar working capital dynamics as well as by other business impacts, including annual incentive-based personnel-related payments. See “Liquidity, Cash Requirements, and Market Conditions” for additional information about our cash flow metrics.
We continue to see opportunities to create value and grow as we respond to long-term demand for our IT solutions driven by a data- and AI-enabled world. We have demonstrated our ability to adjust to changing market conditions with complementary solutions and innovation across both segments of our business, an agile workforce, and the strength of our global supply chain. As we continue to innovate and modernize our offerings, we believe that Dell Technologies is well-positioned for long-term profitable growth.
Net Revenue
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, net revenue increased 88%, driven by an increase in ISG net revenue and, to a lesser extent, CSG net revenue that was partially offset by a decrease in Corporate and other net revenue. See “Business Unit Results” for further information.
•Product Net Revenue — Product net revenue includes revenue from the sale of hardware products and software licenses. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, product net revenue increased 117% due to an increase in ISG product net revenue and, to a lesser extent, CSG product net revenue. The increase in ISG product net revenue was primarily driven by growth in our AI-optimized servers offerings and, to a lesser extent, our traditional servers and networking offerings and our storage offerings. The increase in CSG product net revenue was primarily attributable to growth in our commercial offerings.
•Services Net Revenue — Services net revenue includes revenue from our services offerings and support services related to hardware products and software licenses. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, services net revenue decreased 1% due to a decline in Corporate and other services net revenue, which was driven by a decrease in VMware Resale revenue. The decline was largely offset by an increase in ISG services net revenue, which was driven by higher AI-optimized servers offerings and support and maintenance associated with products sold in prior periods.
56
Table of Contents
A substantial portion of services net revenue is derived from offerings that have been deferred over a period of time. As a result, reported growth rates for services net revenue will be different than reported growth rates for product net revenue.
From a geographical perspective, net revenue increased in the Americas, the Europe, Middle East and Africa region (“EMEA”), and the Asia-Pacific and Japan region (“APJ”) during the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, most notably within the Americas.
Gross Margin
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, gross margin and non-GAAP gross margin increased 58% to $7.8 billion and 57% to $7.9 billion, respectively, primarily due to an increase in ISG gross margin and, to a lesser extent, CSG gross margin. The increase in ISG gross margin was driven by growth in our servers and networking offerings and, to a lesser extent, our storage offerings. The increase in CSG gross margin was primarily driven by growth in our commercial offerings.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, gross margin percentage and non-GAAP gross margin percentage decreased 330 basis points to 17.8% and 350 basis points to 18.1%, respectively. The decreases were primarily driven by a shift in mix towards our AI-optimized servers offerings.
•Product Gross Margin — During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, product gross margin and non-GAAP product gross margin increased 112% and 108%, respectively, to $5.3 billion. The increases were attributable to an increase in ISG product gross margin and, to a lesser extent, CSG product gross margin. The increase in ISG product gross margin was driven by growth in our servers and networking offerings and, to a lesser extent, our storage offerings. The increase in CSG gross margin was primarily attributable to growth in our commercial offerings.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, product gross margin percentage and non-GAAP product gross margin percentage decreased 30 basis points to 13.8% and 60 basis points to 13.9%, respectively, primarily due to a shift in mix towards our AI-optimized servers offerings.
•Services Gross Margin — During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, services gross margin and non-GAAP services gross margin increased 3% to $2.5 billion and 5% to $2.6 billion, respectively. The increases were attributable to an increase in ISG services gross margin, which was primarily driven by higher support and maintenance associated with products sold in prior periods and increased demand for our servers and networking offerings.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, services gross margin percentage and non-GAAP services gross margin percentage increased 160 basis points to 44.1% and 260 basis points to 46.0%, respectively, primarily driven by a shift in mix, as we no longer act as a distributor of standalone VMware offerings.
Vendor Programs
Our gross margin is affected by our ability to achieve competitive pricing with our vendors and contract manufacturers, including through our negotiation of a variety of vendor rebate programs to achieve lower net costs for the various components we include in our products. Under these programs, vendors provide us with rebates or other discounts from the list prices for the components, which are generally elements of their pricing strategy. We account for vendor rebates and other discounts as a reduction in cost of net revenue. We manage our costs on a total net cost basis, which includes supplier list prices reduced by vendor rebates and other discounts.
The terms and conditions of our vendor rebate programs are largely based on product volumes and are generally negotiated either at the beginning of the annual or quarterly period, depending on the program. The timing and amount of vendor rebates and other discounts we receive under the programs may vary from period to period, reflecting changes in the competitive environment. We monitor our component costs and seek to address the effects of any changes to terms that might arise under our vendor rebate programs. Our gross margins for the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 were not materially affected by any changes to the terms of our vendor rebate programs, as the amounts we received under these programs were generally stable relative to our total net cost. We are not aware of any significant changes to our vendor rebate programs that will materially impact our results in the near term.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, total operating expenses increased 9% due to an increase in research and development (“R&D”) expenses and selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.
•Selling, General, and Administrative — During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, SG&A expenses increased 6%, principally due to an increase in employee compensation and benefits expense related primarily to an increase in variable compensation.
•Research and Development — R&D expenses increased 22% during the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, principally due to an increase in employee compensation and benefits expense related primarily to an increase in variable compensation.
As a percentage of net revenue, R&D expenses for the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026 were 2.2% and 3.5%, respectively. The decline in R&D expense as a percentage of revenue was driven by an increase in net revenue. We continue to support R&D initiatives to innovate and introduce new and enhanced solutions into the market.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, non-GAAP operating expenses increased 9%, principally due to an increase in employee compensation and benefits expense related primarily to an increase in variable compensation.
We continue to make strategic investments designed to enable growth and innovation, while balancing our efforts to drive cost efficiencies in the business. We also expect to continue making investments in support of our own digital transformation, which aims to streamline and optimize our business processes.
Operating Income
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, operating income and non-GAAP operating income increased by 214% to $3.7 billion and 154% to $4.2 billion, respectively. The increases were primarily attributable to an increase in ISG operating income and, to a lesser extent, CSG operating income. The increase in ISG operating income was driven by our servers and networking offerings and, to a lesser extent, our storage offerings. The increase in CSG operating income was driven primarily by our commercial offerings.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, operating income and non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of net revenue increased 330 basis points to 8.3% and 260 basis points to 9.7%, respectively. Operating income as a percentage of net revenue benefited from the favorable impact of a decline in operating expense rate as a result of substantial net revenue growth. The favorable impact of operating expense rate was partially offset by a decline in gross margin rate due to a shift in mix towards our AI-optimized servers offerings.

For the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, our effective income tax rates were 12.9% and 10.9%, respectively. The changes in our effective income tax rates for Fiscal 2027 as compared to Fiscal 2026 were primarily attributable to discrete tax items. For the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, we recorded discrete tax benefits of $0.2 billion and $0.1 billion, respectively, related to stock-based compensation.
See Note 11 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our income and other taxes.
Net Income
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, net income increased 256% to $3.4 billion primarily due to an increase in operating income and, to a lesser extent, a favorable change in interest and other, net, the effects of which were partially offset by higher income tax expense.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, non-GAAP net income increased 194% to $3.2 billion, primarily due to an increase in operating income, partially offset by higher income tax expense.

Net Revenue — During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, ISG net revenue increased 181%, driven by strength in our AI-optimized servers offerings and, to a lesser extent, our traditional servers and networking offerings and our storage offerings.
AI-optimized servers net revenue increased 757% during the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, primarily driven by an increase in units sold as a result of significant increased demand for these offerings.
In addition to unit demand growth that exceeded supply, traditional servers and networking net revenue increased 92% during the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, primarily due to an increase in the average selling price of these offerings, driven by disciplined pricing as we navigated the macroeconomic environment and, to a lesser extent, richer configurations.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, storage net revenue increased 8% primarily due to growth in demand for our Dell-IP storage offerings.
From a geographical perspective, ISG net revenue increased in the Americas, EMEA, and APJ during the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, most notably within the Americas.
Operating Income — During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, ISG operating income as a percentage of net revenue increased 80 basis points to 10.5%, due to a decline in operating expense rate that outpaced the decline in gross margin rate. Operating expense rate declined primarily due to substantial ISG net revenue growth. Gross margin rate decreased primarily as the result of a shift in mix towards our AI-optimized servers offerings.

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 $25.9 billion and $17.6 billion as of May 1, 2026 and January 30, 2026, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable, net was primarily driven by an increase in net revenue largely due to our AI-optimized servers offerings. We maintain an allowance for expected credit losses to cover receivables that may be deemed uncollectible. The allowance for expected credit losses is an estimate based on an analysis of historical loss experience, current receivables aging, and management’s assessment of current conditions, as well as specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. As of both May 1, 2026 and January 30, 2026, the allowance for expected credit losses was $77 million. Based on our assessment, we believe that we are adequately reserved for expected credit losses.
Dell Financial Services and Financing Receivables
We offer or arrange a portfolio of payment and consumption solutions and services for our customers globally, including as-a-Service, subscription, utility, leases, and loans, designed to match customers' consumption and financing preferences. We believe these options provide operational and financial flexibility and strengthen our customer relationships. To support financing solutions and services as part of the portfolio, DFS originates, collects, and services customer receivables primarily related to the purchase of our product and services solutions. New financing originations were $2.8 billion and $1.6 billion for the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, respectively.
Our leases are generally classified as sales-type leases or operating leases. On commencement of sales-type leases, we recognize profit up-front and recognize amounts due from the customer under the lease contract as financing receivables. Interest income is recognized as net product revenue over the term of the lease. Upon origination of operating leases, we record equipment under operating leases, classified as property, plant, and equipment, net. We recognize product revenue and depreciation expense, classified as cost of net revenue, over the contract term.
As of May 1, 2026 and January 30, 2026, our financing receivables, net were $14.0 billion and $14.3 billion, respectively. We maintain an allowance to cover expected financing receivables credit losses and evaluate credit loss expectations based on our total portfolio. The principal charge-off rate for our financing receivables portfolio was 0.3% for both the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026. The credit quality of our financing receivables remains strong due to the mix of high-quality commercial accounts in our portfolio. We continue to monitor broader economic indicators and their potential impact on future credit loss performance. We have an extensive process to manage our exposure to customer credit risk that includes active management of credit lines and collection activities. We also sell select fixed-term financing receivables without recourse to unrelated third parties on a periodic basis, primarily to manage certain concentrations of customer credit exposure. Based on our assessment of the customer financing receivables, we believe that we are adequately reserved.
We retain a residual interest in equipment leased under our lease programs. As of May 1, 2026 and January 30, 2026, the residual interest recorded as part of financing receivables was $196 million and $198 million, respectively. The amount of the residual interest is established at the inception of the lease based upon estimates of the value of the equipment at the end of the lease term using historical studies, industry data, and future value-at-risk demand valuation methods. On a quarterly basis, we assess the carrying amount of our recorded residual values for expected losses. Generally, expected losses as a result of residual value risk on equipment under lease are not considered to be significant primarily because of the existence of a secondary market with respect to the equipment. Further, the lease agreement defines applicable return conditions and remedies for non-compliance to ensure that the leased equipment will be in good operating condition upon return. No expected losses were recorded related to residual assets during the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026.
As of May 1, 2026 and January 30, 2026, equipment under operating leases, net was $2.7 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively. We assess the carrying amount of the equipment under operating leases for impairment whenever events or circumstances may indicate that an impairment has occurred. No material impairment losses were recorded related to such equipment during the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026.
See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our financing receivables and the associated allowances, and equipment under operating leases.

LIQUIDITY, CASH REQUIREMENTS, AND MARKET CONDITIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We rely on operating cash flows, which are impacted by trends in the demand environment, as our primary source of liquidity for our ongoing business operations. We monitor the efficiency of our balance sheet to ensure that we have adequate liquidity to support our business and strategic initiatives.
In addition to internally generated cash, we have access to other capital sources to finance our strategic initiatives and fund growth in our financing operations. Our strategy is to deploy capital from any potential source, whether internally generated cash or debt, depending on the adequacy and availability of that source of capital and whether it can be accessed in a cost-effective manner.
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, together with cash that will be provided by future operations and borrowings and issuances expected to be available under our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program, will be sufficient over the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter to meet our material cash requirements, including funding of our operations, debt-related payments, capital expenditures, and other corporate needs.
As part of our overall capital allocation strategy, we intend to continue returning capital to our stockholders through both share repurchase programs and dividend payments and to use the remaining available cash to drive growth and maintain our investment grade credit rating.
The following table presents our cash and cash equivalents as well as our available borrowings as of the dates indicated:
| May 1, 2026 | January 30, 2026 | ||||||||||

| Cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings: | |||||||||||

| Total cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings | $ | 17,462 | $ | 17,414 | |||||||
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, cash and cash equivalents increased by $0.1 billion primarily due to cash flows from operating activities, the effects of which were largely offset by the return of capital to our stockholders, capital expenditures, payments to settle employee tax withholdings on stock-based compensation, and our net debt repayments.
As of May 1, 2026, our revolving credit facility had a maximum capacity of $6.0 billion. Available borrowings under this facility are reduced by draws on the facility and outstanding letters of credit. As of May 1, 2026, there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility and remaining available borrowings totaled approximately $5.9 billion. The facility also acts as a backstop to provide liquidity support for our commercial paper program.
We maintain a commercial paper program under which we may issue unsecured notes in a maximum aggregate face amount of $5.0 billion outstanding at any time, with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. As of May 1, 2026, we had no outstanding issuances under the program.
We may regularly use our available borrowings from the revolving credit facility and issuances under the commercial paper program, generally on a short-term basis, for general corporate purposes. See the following discussion for additional information about our debt.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, the outstanding principal amount of our total debt decreased $0.4 billion to $31.4 billion, driven primarily by net repayments of our Senior Notes.
We define core debt as the total principal amount of our debt, less DFS related debt and other debt. Our core debt was $16.7 billion and $17.0 billion as of May 1, 2026 and January 30, 2026, respectively. See Note 6 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our debt.
DFS 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 the expansion of our DFS business, we balance the use of the securitization and structured financing programs with other sources of liquidity. We approximate the amount of our core debt used to fund the DFS business by applying a 7:1 debt-to-equity ratio to the sum of our financing receivables balance and equipment under operating leases, net, also referred to as DFS owned assets. The debt-to-equity ratio is based on the underlying credit quality of the assets. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our DFS debt.

DFS owned assets | $ | 16,681 | $ | 16,739 | |||||||
We believe we will continue to be able to make our debt principal and interest payments, including payment of short-term maturities, from existing and expected sources of cash. Cash used for debt principal and interest payments may include operating cash flows, short-term borrowings under our commercial paper program or our revolving credit facility, or other borrowings. Under our variable-rate debt, we could experience variations in our future interest expense from potential fluctuations in applicable reference rates, or from possible fluctuations in the level of DFS debt required to meet future demand for customer financing.

Operating Activities — Cash provided by operating activities was $4.1 billion during the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 and was driven by net revenue growth and profitability, partially offset by working capital dynamics. Working capital was primarily affected by increased demand for our AI-optimized servers offerings. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, cash provided by operating activities was $2.8 billion and was driven by profitability and similar working capital dynamics as well as by other business impacts, including annual incentive-based personnel-related payments.
Investing Activities — Investing activities primarily consist of cash used to fund capital expenditures for property, plant, and equipment inclusive of equipment under operating leases and equipment used to support our as-a-Service offerings, which we refer to collectively as assets in a customer contract. Additional activities may include capitalized software development costs, the maturities, sales, and purchases of investments, and acquisitions and divestitures. Cash used in investing activities was $1.1 billion during the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 and primarily consisted of cash used for capital expenditures. Cash used in investing activities was $0.1 billion during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026 and consisted of cash used for capital expenditures, largely offset by cash proceeds from the sale of Secureworks.
Financing Activities — Financing activities primarily consist of the proceeds and repayments of debt and return of capital to our stockholders. Cash used in financing activities was $3.0 billion during the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 and primarily consisted of repurchases of common stock, inclusive of payments to settle employee tax withholdings on stock-based compensation, the payment of quarterly dividends, and our net debt repayments. Cash provided by financing activities was $1.2 billion during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026 and primarily consisted of net proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes and DFS debt, partially offset by repurchases of common stock, inclusive of payments to settle employee tax withholdings on stock-based compensation, and the payment of quarterly dividends.
DFS Cash Flow Impacts — DFS offerings are initially funded through cash on hand at the time of origination, some of which is subsequently replaced with financing. For offerings that qualify as sales-type leases, the initial funding of financing receivables is reflected as an impact to cash flows from operations. For offerings that qualify as 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 $2.8 billion during the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 and $1.6 billion during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026. As of May 1, 2026, we had $14.0 billion of total net financing receivables and $2.7 billion of equipment under operating leases, net.

Table of Contents
Supply Chain Finance Program — We maintain a Supply Chain Finance Program (the “SCF Program”) that enables eligible suppliers to sell receivables due from us to a third-party financial institution at the suppliers’ sole discretion. The SCF Program does not impact our liquidity, as payments by us to participating suppliers are remitted to the financial institution on the original invoice due date. Further, we negotiate payment terms with our suppliers regardless of their decision to participate in the SCF Program. Payments made under the SCF Program are included in cash flows from operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 16 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information regarding the SCF Program.
Capital Commitments and Other Cash Requirements
Capital Expenditures — We spent $1.0 billion and $0.6 billion during the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, respectively, on property, plant, and equipment and capitalized software development costs. Of total expenditures incurred, funding of assets in a customer contract totaled $0.7 billion and $0.3 billion during the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, 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.
Repurchases of Common Stock — On September 23, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program with no fixed expiration date under which we were authorized to repurchase a specified dollar value of Class C Common Stock, exclusive of any fees, commissions, or other expenses related to such repurchases. As of January 30, 2026, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $20 billion of Class C Common Stock and on February 26, 2026 authorized an additional $10 billion of Class C Common Stock for repurchase. Following the February 26, 2026 approval, we had approximately $15.2 billion of authorized shares remaining under the program.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, we repurchased approximately 11 million shares of Class C Common Stock for a total purchase price of approximately $1.6 billion. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, we repurchased approximately 22 million shares of Class C Common Stock for a total purchase price of approximately $2.0 billion.
Dividend Payments — During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, we paid $0.5 billion and $0.4 billion in dividends and dividend equivalents, respectively, at a rate of $0.630 and $0.525 per share per fiscal quarter, respectively.
Purchase Obligations — Purchase obligations are contractual obligations that are enforceable and legally binding on us to purchase goods or services and that 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 include the non-cancelable portion or the minimum cancellation fee under the contract, and they are primarily related to commitments with suppliers, software maintenance, and support services.
Purchase obligations exclude contracts that may be canceled without penalty, open purchase orders that are entered into during the ordinary course of business, and certain portions of strategic supplier agreements. Open purchase orders typically represent flexible and mutually beneficial purchase arrangements with our suppliers which authorize us to make purchases based on our projected demand and manufacturing needs rather than through binding purchase obligations. Strategic supplier agreements are typically long-term in nature with fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased from our suppliers throughout the term of the contract in order to minimize inventory risk, particularly in a dynamic commodity supply environment. The portions of strategic supplier agreements for which certain commodities will be purchased at a price to be mutually agreed upon after the balance sheet date cannot be reasonably estimated and therefore are excluded from purchase obligations.
To meet growing demand, we have increased our purchases of certain components with suppliers, resulting in increased purchase obligations. We expect our purchases of those components will continue to increase, including committed purchases under long-term strategic supplier agreements at prices to be mutually agreed upon at a future date.
As of May 1, 2026, we had purchase obligations of $20.8 billion, of which $17.3 billion is payable within twelve months.

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. To date, the majority of revenue from our AI‑optimized solutions has involved purchases by a relatively small number of large customers and cloud service providers. Such purchases generally involve larger amounts of credit, and could impact our overall credit risk in trade and financing receivables. We perform periodic evaluations of our positions with counterparties and may limit exposure to any one counterparty in accordance with our policies. We monitor and manage our positions based on current and expected market developments.
We use derivative instruments to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. We use forward contracts and purchased options designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in our forecasted transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. In addition, we primarily use forward contracts and may use purchased options to hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our use of derivative instruments.
We are exposed to interest rate risk related to our variable-rate debt portfolio. In the normal course of business we follow established policies and procedures to manage this risk, including monitoring of our asset and liability mix and the use of derivative instruments. As a result, we do not anticipate any material losses from interest rate risk.

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
In connection with the preparation of this report, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 1, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of May 1, 2026, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We are in the process of an ongoing business modernization initiative to advance our capabilities, leverage new technology, and optimize business processes to change the way we work and make decisions, improve business outcomes, and reduce costs. As part of this initiative, we are modernizing accounting and finance systems. We have modified and will continue to modify the design and implementation of certain internal control processes to accommodate changes to our business processes and finance procedures, as our business modernization initiative continues.
There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended May 1, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
