OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Dell Technologies is a leading global end-to-end technology provider that designs, develops, manufactures, markets, sells, and supports a wide range of comprehensive and integrated solutions, products, and services. Dell Technologies offerings include servers and networking, storage, cloud solutions, desktops, notebooks, services, software, branded peripherals, and third-party software and peripherals. References in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to the “Company” or “Dell Technologies” mean Dell Technologies Inc. individually and together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2024. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company as of August 2, 2024 and February 2, 2024 and the results of its operations, corresponding comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the three and six months ended August 2, 2024 and August 4, 2023, and its cash flows for the six months ended August 2, 2024 and August 4, 2023.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of its operations, corresponding comprehensive income, and changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the three and six months ended August 2, 2024 and August 4, 2023, and its cash flows for the six months ended August 2, 2024 and August 4, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any other fiscal period.

The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Friday nearest January 31. Both the fiscal year ended February 2, 2024 (“Fiscal 2024”) and the fiscal year ending January 31, 2025 (“Fiscal 2025”) are 52-week periods.

Principles of Consolidation — These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Dell Technologies Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the accounts of SecureWorks Corp. (“Secureworks”), which is majority-owned by Dell Technologies. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Secureworks — As of August 2, 2024 and February 2, 2024, the Company held approximately 78.9% and 81.0%, respectively, of the outstanding equity interest in Secureworks. The portion of the results of operations of Secureworks allocable to its other owners is shown as net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, as an adjustment to net income attributable to Dell Technologies stockholders. The non-controlling interests’ share of equity in Secureworks is reflected as non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and was $97 million and $95 million as of August 2, 2024 and February 2, 2024, respectively.

Variable Interest Entities — The Company consolidates Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") where it has been determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the applicable entities’ operations. For each VIE, the primary beneficiary is the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to such VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of each entity, the Company evaluates its power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE by considering the purpose and design of each entity and the risks each entity was designed to create and pass through to its respective variable interest holders. The Company also evaluates its economic interests in each of the VIEs. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding consolidated VIEs.

Other Events — On October 4, 2023, the Company established a new consumer revolving financing program with Comenity Capital Bank, a subsidiary of Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Bread”), under which transactions are originated, owned, serviced, and collected by Bread. Under the agreement, the Company also sold its U.S. consumer revolving customer receivables portfolio for total cash consideration of approximately $390 million, resulting in an immaterial gain recognized within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company has no continuing involvement with these receivables, which are serviced by Bread.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Segment Reporting — In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to improve disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments by requiring disclosure of additional information about a reportable segment’s expenses on an annual and interim basis. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Adoption of this new guidance will result in increased disclosures in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes — In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance which requires companies to provide disaggregated income tax disclosures within the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Adoption of this new guidance will result in increased disclosures in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
