News summary

Full story

Dell Technologies (NYSE: DVMT) announces its fiscal 2018 first quarter results, which reflect the growth and impact of the EMC transaction. 1

For the first quarter, consolidated revenue was $17.8 billion and non-GAAP revenue was $18.2 billion. During the quarter, the company generated an operating loss of $1.5 billion, with a non-GAAP operating income of $1.2 billion.

"We're pleased with overall results in the first quarter of our new go-to-market structure and the demand velocity we saw in a challenging component cost environment," said Tom Sweet, chief financial officer, Dell Technologies Inc. "I'm encouraged by these achievements and excited about the opportunities ahead as we continue to provide a broad portfolio of solutions for our customers' digital transformations."

The company ended the quarter with a cash and investments balance of $14.9 billion. Since closing the EMC transaction, Dell Technologies has paid down approximately $7.1 billion in gross debt, resulting in a $200 million reduction in annualized interest expense on a run-rate basis. The company also has repurchased $1.1 billion of Class V Common Stock under both the previously announced Class V Group and DHI Group repurchase programs.

1 Due to the EMC transaction and to a lesser extent the Dell going-private transaction, significant non-cash bridging items will remain between GAAP and non-GAAP results for the next few years. Prior-year historical Dell Technologies financials do not include EMC historical results, thereby impacting most year-over-year comparisons.
