Key investor takeaways and post-earnings trading perspectives

Key positives

PC scale and channels are critical for enterprise transition to be successful

Solid performance in Server / Networking, though sustainability of above-peer growth rates remains in question

Commitment to shareholder return with up to 35% of free cash flow viewed as a positive

Lack of share repurchases during the quarter is understandable given M&A, but investors looking forward to more

buybacks in the future

Balance sheet remains in good condition, and strong cash flow for the quarter was well received

Key considerations

Denali still heavily tied to the PC market, which investors view as being significantly challenged

Decline in both revenue and gross margin, weak macro backdrop perceived as inhibiting progress of business

transition

Storage performance was weaker than expected, and investors are questioning if business has lost its momentum

Concern that Denali is going to get more price competitive in attempt to “defend turf” with less focus on profitability

Trading perspectives

Significant buying by long-only and value-oriented investors in the two weeks leading up to earnings

Hedge funds selling shares post earnings, but not to a significant degree

Long-only funds and value-oriented investors who bought shares over the last two weeks are continuing to hold

their positions

Stock price hit a 52-week low of $8.69 late morning, but made back some of the losses before close

Media commentary is consistent with investor views

“PCs are in the thick of an industry-wide decline as customers increasingly turn to tablets or smartphones. Late in the quarter, Microsoft released a new version of its operating system, dubbed Windows 8. A new Windows release typically boosted PC sales in the past, but Mr. Gladden said he doesn’t ‘expect the macro environment to get better in the short term.’ To offset the slumping PC business, Denali has been on an acquisition binge, adding a variety of software, storage and networking tools. With one exception—its server and networking business grew 11% over the quarter—revenue in each of Denali’s product categories declined from a year ago.”

–WSJ, Denali Still Struggling Amid Shift in Computer Market, 11/15/12

“Denali forecast a fourth straight quarter of declining sales as diminishing demand for personal computers overshadows the company’s efforts to diversify into more profitable products for data centers. Brian White, an analyst at Topeka Capital Markets in New York, wrote today in a note to clients that Denali’s operating profit, which declined 31 percent in the third quarter, may have bottomed, auguring well for its stock price. The stock has limited downside from current levels as we expect value investors will be attracted.”

– Bloomberg, Denali Sales Forecast Misses Estimates Amid PC-Industry Slump, 11/15/12

“Servers and networking were a bright spot in the quarter, rising by 11% in the case of networking equipment, while PCs and storage equipment fell by double digits on a percentage basis. Most bears, and the bears have the high ground with the stock at the moment, fear anything positive at Denali will be offset by the continued erosion of the PC market.”

– Barron’s, Denali: PCs Obscure Network, Server Strength, 11/15/12

“The company, once the world’s top PC maker and a pioneer in computer supply chain management, is struggling to defend its market share against Asian rivals like Lenovo. It is trying to bolster growth by focusing on products and services to corporations. The company, founded by its chief executive, M.D., said that it saw the challenging global macroeconomic environment continuing in the fourth quarter.”

–NYTimes, Hurt by Rivals From Asia, Denali Profit Falls 47%, 11/15/12

Comparison of Analyst Day versus Earnings commentary

Key themes Key Analyst Day commentary Key Earnings commentary

Business Committed to long-term business transformation Transformation beyond PCs could provide upside

transformation – Macro headwinds and pressure on PC and server – Difficulty for customers to see Denali as enterprise vendor

Continued shift to profit maximization and higher margin

Enterprise and Focus on building out specific software capabilities businesses (e.g., Quest acquisition)

strategy PC – Value of PC business is not clearly articulated – Need to be clearer on PC strategy and winning formula

SMB market’s migration to the cloud is significant opportunity Stability in the SMB market despite softness in other verticals

SMB focus Investors agree with mid-market focus with bundled offering Ability to provide cost-optimized infrastructure attractive to SMBs

Business – Competition increasing in SMB market, particularly in cloud – Continued competition in SMB market

Sound M&A decisions and effective integration M&A remains measured and focused on bolt-on acquisitions

M&A – Integrating sales teams of recently acquired companies may – Active M&A strategy may be necessary to offset PC declines

exacerbate sales force issues

Investors applaud long-term targets and focus out to FY16 Higher value product mix will help offset top-line softness

Increasingly diverse revenue mix and shift away from PC Opportunity in emerging markets could provide revenue support

Guidance and – While LT targets may be achievable, they are not conservative – Forecast and guidance is questionable, given recent results and

revenue mix PC market instability

– PC assumptions viewed as aggressive

– Financial targets assume contribution from revenue growth

– Targets assume market share gains and further M&A through additional M&A

$2bn+ annual cost savings by FY 2016

guidance Reaffirmation of cost reduction strategy

Cost reduction / $1bn coming from “core Denali” is well received, as EUC

al reinvestment provides cash for redeployment into ES&S – Plans for strategic investments in R&D, including enterprise

development, present concerns given declining revenue profile

Financi – Investors want clarity around amount of cost savings reinvested

Commitment to capital allocation with the dividend initiation well Balance sheet remains strong

Capital received by investors Strong rebound in operating cash flow

allocation /

liquidity – Concerns that the dividend may come at expense of share – Lack of share repurchases is questionable but understandable

repurchases and large-scale acquisitions in the U.S. given Quest acquisition

Key Denali messages during earnings call

Consistent progress on strategic plan to deliver end-to-end solutions to customers with a scalable design point

Continued focus on balancing liquidity, profitability and growth

Continue to make strategic acquisitions that add enhanced capabilities that address customers’ most pressing needs

Fully committed to existing strategy and remain focused on profit share and efforts around cost-out initiatives

Stronger cash flow from migration toward greater mix of software and services-based solutions

Invested $4.7bn in FY13 to acquire new capabilities and intellectual property

Added capabilities in security, cloud, data backup and protection, systems management and application modernization through acquisitions of AppAssure, SonicWALL, Wyse, Make, Clerity and Quest

Quest will contribute to a higher mix of solutions with more predictable revenue and margin streams

Strong growth in Enterprise Solutions and Services, up +5% and +15% for large enterprises and SMBs, respectively

SMB continues to be the most stable customer segment

Consumer business continues to be challenged with industry growth occurring predominantly in areas where Denali has chosen not to compete (i.e., low value and entry level desktops and notebooks)

Emerging markets have also slowed and shifted to even lower value products

Encouraged by early interest in Windows 8 touch portfolio and new opportunities in commercial and consumer segments

Desktop business held its market position relative to last year, but notebooks lost share and underperformed expectations

Areas of concern experienced by Denali and peers

Challenging global IT demand environment

Weakness in core PC market

Contraction of public sector spending


LOGO

 

Key areas of analyst questioning during earnings call

Business strategy

Has there a been a change in strategy to limit the amount of market share given up, specifically in the enterprise category?

Why retain the PC business longer-term if newer customers driving enterprise growth are not buying Denali PCs?

What are the incremental R&D investments required going forward?

What action plans are in place to improve growth in infrastructure applications and BPO?

What is your component strategy with regards to raw material purchase commitments?

How are you thinking about the current cash balance and are there any plans to be more aggressive with share repurchases, given ongoing pressure on the stock price?

Have you exhausted your capital for stock buybacks this quarter?

Markets

Is the PC market hitting a worse case scenario of 5% decline? Expectations around a long-term market growth rate?

What datapoints are available to support management confidence that the current downturn is a short-term issue?

What is going to change substantially in terms of relative share on a go-forward basis to react to pricing pressure and potentially slowing growth?

Any signs of improvement in the public markets?

Is the tablet industry structurally shifting toward lower profitability?

Financial

What have been the major factors impacting gross margins?

What sort of margin pressure are you seeing on the PC business and specifically on the large enterprise side?

Why not give up some gross margin in order to preserve volume and avoid the descaling risk potential that is mounting?

Any radical action being contemplated to drastically improve margins, aside from the $2bn in cost savings mentioned?

How does cash flow and the cash conversion cycle ultimately change with the shift toward software and services and the move from client to enterprise?

Is sequential revenue growth guidance coming from normal seasonality in addition to Quest, or is there something else to be aware of?
