SUPPLEMENTAL SELECTED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Dell Technologies uses non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis, and believes that excluding certain items from its GAAP results allows management to better understand the Company’s consolidated financial performance from period to period and better project its future consolidated financial performance as forecasts are developed at a level of detail different from that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures. Moreover, Dell Technologies believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide its stakeholders with useful information to help them evaluate the Company’s operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of its operating performance and enabling them to make more meaningful period to period comparisons.

There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in Dell Technologies’ industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

As the non-GAAP items excluded have a material impact on Dell Technologies’ financial results, the Company’s management compensates for this limitation by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures supplementally or for projections when comparable GAAP financial measures are not available. The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance in isolation from or as a substitute for net revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, or net income prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis.

Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented below. The Company encourages you to review the reconciliations in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. In future fiscal periods, the Company 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 the Company’s non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual.

As described below, Dell Technologies’ non-GAAP net income now excludes, among other items, fair value adjustments on equity investments as well as discrete tax items. These items were not excluded in the prior presentation of the Company’s non-GAAP net income. Upon its return to the public markets in December 2018, the Company reevaluated the presentation of non-GAAP net income and made these changes to facilitate an evaluation of its current operating performance and the comparability of its current operating performance to its past operating performance. Non-GAAP net income for prior periods has been recast to reflect the current presentation.

The following is a summary of the items excluded from the most comparable GAAP financial measures to calculate Dell Technologies’ non-GAAP financial measures:

Amortization of Intangible Assets Amortization of intangible assets primarily consists of amortization of customer relationships, developed technology, and trade names. For the periods presented, amortization of intangible assets primarily represents amortization associated with intangible assets recognized in connection with the EMC merger transaction and the going-private transaction. Amortization charges for purchased intangible assets are significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions, and these charges may vary in amount from period to period.
Impact of Purchase Accounting The impact of purchase accounting includes purchase accounting adjustments related to the EMC merger transaction and, to a lesser extent, the going-private transaction. The assets and liabilities acquired were recognized at fair value as of the respective transaction dates, and the fair value adjustments are being amortized over the estimated useful lives in the periods following the transactions.
Transaction-related ExpensesTransaction-related expenses consist of acquisition, integration, and divestiture related costs, as well as the costs incurred in the Class V transaction, and are expensed as incurred. These expenses primarily represent costs for legal, banking, consulting, and advisory services, as well as certain compensatory retention awards directly related to the EMC merger transaction.
Other Corporate Expenses — Other corporate expenses consist of goodwill impairment charges, severance, facility action costs, and stock-based compensation expense associated with equity awards. Other corporate expenses vary from period to period and are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of these events.






Fair Value Adjustments on Equity Investments — Fair value adjustments on equity investments primarily consists of the gain (loss) on strategic investments, which includes the recurring fair value adjustments of investments in publicly-traded companies, as well as those in privately-held companies, which are adjusted for observable price changes, and to a lesser extent any potential impairments. Given the volatility in the ongoing adjustments to the valuation of these strategic investments, the Company believes that excluding these charges for purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income presented facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of its current operating performance and comparisons to its past operating performance.
Aggregate Adjustment for Income Taxes — The aggregate adjustment for income taxes is the estimated combined income tax effect for the adjustments described above, tax benefits resulting from the impact of adopting the new ASC 606 revenue standard in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, as well as an adjustment for discrete tax items. Due to the variability in recognition of discrete tax items from period to period, the Company believes that excluding these benefits or charges for purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of its current operating performance and comparisons to its past operating performance. The tax effects are determined based on the tax jurisdictions where the above items were incurred.
The Company also uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to provide additional information for evaluation of its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes purchase accounting adjustments related to the EMC merger transaction and the going-private transaction, acquisition, integration, and divestiture related costs, goodwill impairment charges, severance and facility action costs, and stock-based compensation expense. The Company believes that, due to the non-operational nature of the purchase accounting entries, it is appropriate to exclude these adjustments.

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