Going-Private TransactionOn October 29, 2013, Dell was acquired by Denali Holding Inc. (which changed its name to Dell Technologies Inc. on August 25, 2016) in a merger transaction pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of February 5, 2013, as amended. Dell Technologies is a Delaware corporation owned by Michael S.

(the "MSDC Stockholders"), members of Dell’s management, and other investors. Mr. Dell serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dell Technologies and Dell.

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 3, 2017. 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 Dell Technologies Inc. (individually and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "the Company"the "Company" or "Dell Technologies") as of October 28, 2016November 3, 2017 and January 29, 2016,February 3, 2017, the results of its operations and corresponding comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2017 and October 28, 2016, and October 30, 2015, andas well as its cash flows for the nine months ended November 3, 2017 and October 28, 2016 and October 30, 2015. The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2016 ("Fiscal 2016") included in the proxy statement/prospectus dated June 6, 2016 forming part of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333 208524).2016.

As a result of the EMC merger transaction completed on September 7, 2016, the Company's results for the fiscal periods reflected in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not directly comparable. The results of the businesses acquired in the EMC merger transaction (the "acquired businesses") are included in the consolidated results of Dell Technologies for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016, and represent the results of the acquired businesses from September 7, 2016, the date of the EMC merger transaction, through October 28, 2016, the end of the third

fiscal quarter of Dell Technologies. The results of the acquired businesses will be reported on the basis of Dell Technologies' fiscal year end to align with the fiscal periods for which Dell Technologies reports its results.

The standalone results of VMware, Inc. ("VMware") will continue to be publicly reported on a calendar year end basis through the end of December 31, 2016, after which VMware will effect a change in its year end, and will be publicly reported on the basis of Dell Technologies' fiscal year end beginning February 4, 2017, to align with the fiscal periods for which Dell Technologies reports its results.

The Dell Technologies balance sheet reflects the full consolidation of EMC's assets and liabilities as a result of the close of the EMC merger transaction on September 7, 2016. The Company’s purchase accounting remains preliminary as contemplated by GAAP and, as a result, there may be upon further review future changes to the value and allocation of the acquired assets, liabilities assumed, associated amortization expense, and goodwill. These changes may be material.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2017 and October 28, 2016 and cash flows for the nine months ended November 3, 2017 and October 30, 201528, 2016 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 endingended February 3, 2017 ("Fiscal 2017") was a 53-week period while the fiscal year ending February 2, 2018 ("Fiscal 2018") will be a 53-week52-week period.

As a result of the EMC merger transaction completed on September 7, 2016, the Company's results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the fiscal periods reflected in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not directly comparable as the results of the acquired businesses are only included in the consolidated results from September 7, 2016.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to "VMware" mean the VMware reportable segment, which reflects the operations of VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) within Dell Technologies. See Exhibit 99.1 filed with the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended November 3, 2017 for information on the differences between VMware reportable segment results and VMware, Inc. results.

NOTE 2— INTERIM UPDATE TO SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following interim update to the Company's significant accounting policies reflects the changes as a result of the EMC merger transaction.

Principles of Consolidation — These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dell Technologies and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as the accounts of SecureWorks, VMware, and Pivotal Software Inc. ("Pivotal"), companies which are majority-owned by Dell Technologies. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

On April 27, 2016, SecureWorks completed a registered underwritten IPO of its Class A common stock. As of October 28, 2016, Dell Technologies held approximately 87.5% of the outstanding equity interest in SecureWorks. Since the date of the IPO, the financial results of SecureWorks remain consolidated with those of Dell Technologies as Dell Technologies is the controlling stockholder of SecureWorks. The portion of the results of operations of SecureWorks allocable to its other owners is shown as net income attributable to the non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), as an adjustment to net income attributable to Dell Technologies stockholders. Additionally, the cumulative portion of the results of operations of SecureWorks allocable to its other owners, along with the interest in the net assets of SecureWorks attributable to those other owners, is shown as a component of non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

As of October 28, 2016, Dell Technologies held approximately 83.3% of the outstanding equity interest in VMware. VMware’s financial results have been consolidated with those of Dell Technologies as Dell Technologies is VMware’s controlling stockholder. The results of VMware presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements represent the results of the acquired businesses from September 7, 2016, the date of the EMC merger transaction, through October 28, 2016, the end of the third fiscal quarter of Dell Technologies. The portion of the results of operations of VMware allocable to its other owners is shown as net income attributable to the non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) as an adjustment to net income attributable to Dell Technologies stockholders. Additionally, the cumulative portion of the results of operations of VMware allocable to its other owners, along with the interest in the net assets of VMware attributable to those other owners, is shown as a component of non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of October 28, 2016.

As of October 28, 2016, Dell Technologies held approximately 77.4% of the outstanding equity interest in Pivotal. Pivotal’s financial results have been consolidated with those of Dell Technologies as Dell Technologies is Pivotal’s controlling stockholder. The results of Pivotal presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements represent the results of the acquired businesses from September 7, 2016, the date of the EMC merger transaction, through October 28, 2016, the end of the third fiscal quarter of Dell Technologies. A portion of the non-controlling interest in Pivotal is held by third parties in the form of a preferred equity instrument. Accordingly, there is no net income attributable to this non-controlling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). The portion of the results of operations of Pivotal allocable to its other owners, whose interests are held in the form of common stock, and the interest in the net assets of Pivotal attributable to those other owners are shown as net income attributable to the non-controlling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) as an adjustment to net income attributable to Dell Technologies stockholders, and as component of non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of October 28, 2016, respectively.

Investments — All debt security investments with remaining maturities in excess of one year and substantially all equity and other securities are recorded as long-term investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. In comparison, debt security instruments with a remaining maturity shorter than one year are classified as short-term investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Unrealized gains and temporary loss positions on investments classified as available-for-sale are included within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of any related tax effect. Upon realization, those amounts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest and other, net. Realized gains and losses and other-than-temporary impairments are reflected in the consolidated income statement in interest and other, net. Investments accounted for under the cost method are measured at fair value initially. Subsequently, when there is an indicator of impairment, the impairment is recognized.

Revenue Recognition — Net revenue primarily includes sales of hardware, services, software licenses, and peripherals. The Company recognizes revenue for these products and services when it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the Company's fee to its customer is fixed or determinable; and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. This policy is applicable to all sales, including sales to resellers and end-users.

Revenue from third-party software sales and extended warranties for third-party products, for which the Company does not meet the criteria for gross revenue recognition, is recognized on a net basis. All other revenue is recognized on a gross basis.
Services revenue and cost of services revenue captions in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) include the Company's services, third-party software revenue, and support services related to the Company-owned software offerings.

The following summarizes the major terms of contractual relationships with customers and the manner in which the Company accounts for sales transactions.

Products

Product revenue consists of computer hardware, enterprise hardware, and software licenses sales that are delivered, sold as a subscription or sold on a consumption basis. Computer hardware and enterprise hardware include notebooks and desktop PCs, servers, storage hardware, and other hardware-related devices. Software license sales include optional, stand-alone software applications. Software applications provide customers with resource management, backup and archiving, information security, information management and intelligence, data analytics and server virtualization capabilities. Revenue from the sale of hardware products and systems is recognized when title and risk of loss pass to the customer. Delivery is considered complete when products have been shipped to the Company's customer, title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, and customer acceptance has been satisfied. Customer acceptance is satisfied if acceptance is obtained from the customer, if all acceptance provisions lapse, or if the Company has evidence that all acceptance provisions have been satisfied. Depending on the nature of the arrangement, software license sales is generally recognized upon shipment or electronic delivery. For certain arrangements, revenue is recognized based on usage or ratably over the term of the arrangement.  License revenue from royalty arrangements is recognized upon either receipt of royalty reports or payments from third parties.

The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated customer sales returns, rebates, and certain other customer incentive programs. These reductions to revenue are made based upon reasonable and reliable estimates that are determined by historical experience, contractual terms, and current conditions. The primary factors affecting the Company's accrual for estimated customer returns include estimated return rates as well as the number of units shipped that have a right of return that has not expired as of the balance sheet date. If returns cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is not recognized until a reliable estimate can be made or the return right lapses.

The Company sells its products directly to customers as well as through other distribution channels, such as retailers, distributors, and resellers. The Company recognizes revenue on these sales when the reseller has economic substance apart from the Company; any credit risk has been identified and quantified; title and risk of loss have passed to the sales channel; the fee paid to the Company is not contingent upon resale or payment by the end user; and the Company has no further obligations related to bringing about resale or delivery.

Sales through the Company's distribution channels are primarily made under agreements allowing for limited rights of return, price protection, rebates, and marketing development funds. The Company has generally limited return rights through contractual caps or has an established selling history for these arrangements. Therefore, there is sufficient data to establish reasonable and reliable estimates of returns for the majority of these sales. To the extent price protection or return rights are not limited and a reliable estimate cannot be made, all of the revenue and related costs are deferred until the product has been sold to the end-user or the rights expire. The Company records estimated reductions to revenue or an expense for distribution channel programs at the later of the offer or the time revenue is recognized.
The Company defers the cost of shipped products awaiting revenue recognition until revenue is recognized.

Services

Services revenue consists of hardware and software maintenance, installation services, professional services, training revenue, third-party software revenue, and software sold as a service. The Company recognizes revenue from fixed-price support or maintenance contracts sold for both hardware and software ratably over the contract period and recognizes the costs associated with these contracts as incurred. For sales of extended warranties with a separate contract price, the Company defers revenue equal to the separately stated price. Revenue associated with undelivered elements is deferred and recorded when delivery occurs or services are provided. Revenue from extended warranty and service contracts, for which the Company is obligated to perform, is recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently recognized over the term of the contract on a straight-line basis or when the service is completed and the costs associated with these contracts are recognized as incurred.

Multiple Deliverables

When an arrangement has more than one element, such as hardware, software, and services contained in a single arrangement, the Company first allocates revenue based upon the relative selling price into two categories: (1) non-software components, such as hardware and any hardware-related items, such as required system software that functions with the hardware to deliver the essential functionality of the hardware and related post-contract customer support, software as a service subscriptions and other services; and (2) software components, such as optional software applications and related items, such as post-contract customer support and other services. The Company then allocates revenue within the non-software category to each element based upon its relative selling price using a hierarchy of vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”), or estimated selling prices (“ESP”), if VSOE or TPE does not exist. The Company allocates revenue within the software category to the undelivered elements based upon their fair value using VSOE, with the residual revenue allocated to the delivered elements. If the Company cannot objectively determine the VSOE of the fair value of any undelivered software element, it defers revenue for all software components until all elements are delivered and services have been performed, until fair value can objectively be determined for any remaining undelivered elements, or until software maintenance is the only undelivered element, in which case revenue is recognized over the maintenance term for all software elements.

The Company allocates the amount of revenue recognized for delivered elements to the amount that is not subject to forfeiture or refund or contingent on the future delivery of products or services.

Customers under software maintenance agreements are entitled to receive updates and upgrades on a when-and-if-available basis, and various types of technical support based on the level of support purchased. In the event specific features, functionality, entitlements, or the release version of an upgrade or new product have been announced but not delivered, and customers will receive that upgrade or new product as part of a current software maintenance contract, a specified upgrade is deemed created and product revenues are deferred on purchases made after the announcement date until delivery of the upgrade or new product. The amount and elements to be deferred are dependent on whether the Company has established VSOE of fair value for the upgrade or new product.

Other

The Company records revenue from the sale of equipment under sales-type leases as product revenue in an amount equal to the present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease. Sales-type leases also produce financing income, which is included in net revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and is recognized at consistent rates of return over the lease term. Revenue from operating leases is recognized over the lease period. The Company also offers qualified customers revolving credit lines for the purchase of products and services offered by the Company. Financing income attributable to these revolving loans is recognized in net revenue on an accrual basis.

The Company accrues for the estimated costs of systems’ warranty at the time of sale. Systems’ warranty costs are estimated based upon historical experience and specific identification of systems’ requirements.

The Company reports revenue net of any revenue-based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions.

Deferred Revenue — Deferred revenue represents amounts received in advance for extended warranty services, deferred hardware, software maintenance, prepaid professional services, and unearned license fees, which are recognized ratably over the contract term as either product or services revenue depending on the nature of the item. The Company also has deferred revenue related to internally-developed software offerings, and deferred profit on third-party software offerings, which are generally recognized ratably over the contract term as either product or services revenue depending on the nature of the item.

Research and Development — Research and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs include salaries and benefits and other personnel-related costs associated with product development. Also included in R&D expenses are infrastructure costs, which consist of equipment and material costs, facilities-related costs, depreciation expense, and intangible asset amortization.

Capitalized Software Development Costs — In accordance with the applicable accounting standards, software development costs related to the development of new product offerings are capitalized subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility, which is demonstrated by the completion of a detailed program design or working model, if no program design is completed. GAAP requires that annual amortization expense of the capitalized software development costs be the greater of the amounts computed using the ratio of gross revenue to a product's total current and anticipated revenues, or the straight-line method over the product's remaining estimated economic life. Capitalized costs are amortized over periods ranging from eighteen months to two years which represents the product's estimated economic life.
Amounts capitalized for the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016 were $85 million, and are included in other non-current assets, net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Amortization expense for the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016 was $0.4 million. Prior to the EMC merger transaction, there were no significant capitalized software development costs specific to the legacy businesses of Dell Technologies Inc.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"(the "FASB") issued amended guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The objective of the new standard is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede mostsubstantially all of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The new standard requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also provides guidance on the accounting for costs to fulfill or obtain a customer contract. Further, the new standard requires additional disclosures to help enable users of the financial statements to better understand the nature, amount, timing, risks, and judgments related to revenue recognition and related cash flows from contracts with customers.

In August 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of this standard. Public entities are required to adopt the new standard for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented (full retrospective method) or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized as ofat the date of adoption.initial application in retained earnings (modified retrospective method). The Company currently expects to adopt this standard retrospectively to each prior period presented for the fiscal year beginning February 3, 2018.

While the Company is currently evaluating the method of adoptionfinancial and the impactsystem impacts that the new standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

PresentationStatements, the Company expects that unearned license revenue related to the sale of Debt Issuance Costs — In April 2015,software licenses and related deliverables will decline upon adoption. Currently, the FASB issued amended guidance which changesCompany defers revenue for certain software arrangements due to the classificationabsence of debt issuance costsvendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value for all or a portion of the deliverables. Under the new standard, the Company will no longer be required to establish VSOE of fair value in order to account for elements in an arrangement as separate units of accounting, and will be able to record revenue upon satisfaction of each performance obligation. Additionally, the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.Company expects the new standard to have an impact on the way the transaction price is allocated for certain non-standard warranties.

The guidanceaggregate transaction price related to recognition and measurementthe non-standard warranty being recorded as revenue upon delivery of debt issuance costs remains unchanged.the underlying product, because the Company will no longer defer revenue based on the separately stated price of the non-standard warranty provided under the contract. The Company implementedcontinues to make progress in assessing the new presentation inimpacts of the nine months ended October 28, 2016 on a retrospective basis, and except for the reclassification of debt issuance costs of $128 million as of January 29, 2016 in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, there was no other impactstandard on the Consolidated Financial Statements.Statements and will continue to evaluate the impact of any changes to the standard or interpretations should they become available.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities In January 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standardthat addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluatingamended guidance requires changes in the impact thatfair value of equity investments to be recognized through net income, rather than other comprehensive income. Adoption of the standard will havebe applied through a cumulative one-time adjustment to retained earnings.

Income (Loss) will depend on the relative changes in market price of the equity investments.

Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on the accounting for leasing transactions. The primary objective of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizingrequiring lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements.  The guidance makes some changes to lessor accounting, including the elimination of the use of third-party residual value guarantee insurance in the sales-type lease test. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Companies are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting — In March 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on the accounting for employee share-based payments. The topics that were amended in the update involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance which replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology for measurement of credit losses on financial instruments with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after

However, earlier adoption is not permitted.2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments — In August 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on the presentation and classification of eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing existing diversity in practice. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Companies should reflect any adjustments on a retrospective basis, if practicable,practicable; otherwise, adoption is required to be applied as of the earliest date practicable. The Company will adopt this standard as of May 4, 2018, and will apply adjustments retrospectively to each prior period presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for that period. The Company is currently evaluating the timingimpact of the standard, and other than certain reclassifications on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Statement of Cash Flows, Restricted Cash — In November 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance requiring entities to include explanations of changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents on the cash flow statement, and also to provide a supplemental reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this standard as well asof May 4, 2018, and will apply adjustments retrospectively to each prior period presented on the impactCondensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for that period and provide the supplemental reconciliation. The Company does not expect that the standard will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements as its restricted cash balance does not change significantly from period to period.

Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment — In January 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Instead, under the amendments in the new guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. Public entities must adopt the new guidance in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance, but does not expect that the standard will have an impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Derivatives and HedgingIn August 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance that will make more financial and non-financial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. The amended guidance changes how companies assess effectiveness, and also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements. The guidance is intended to simplify the application of hedge accounting and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. Immediate early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. The Company will early adopt this guidance at the beginning of the fiscal year ending February 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the application of the new guidance, but does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting — In March 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on the accounting for employee share-based payments, including the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance at the beginning of Fiscal 2018. In accordance with the new guidance, excess tax benefits or deficiencies for stock-based compensation are now reflected as a component of the provision for income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), whereas they were previously recorded as additional paid-in capital. The Company has elected to continue to estimate expected forfeitures. Additionally, the Company now presents excess tax benefits as an operating activity rather than a financing activity on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, while the cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares are presented as a financing activity with prior periods adjusted accordingly. The adoption of the amended guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The prospective impact of the new standard will depend on the Company's stock price at the vesting or exercise dates of the awards and the number of awards that vest or are exercised in each period, but the Company does not expect the impact to be material in future periods.

Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory — In October 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on the accounting for income taxes. The new guidance requires companies to recognize the income tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers, other than transfers of inventory, when the transfer occurs instead of when the asset is sold to a third party, as current GAAP requires. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an annual period.party.

NOTE 32 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

EMC Merger Transaction

Transaction Overview On September 7, 2016, EMC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as a result of the merger of Merger Sub with and into EMC, with EMC surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The EMC merger transaction was effected pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 12, 2015, by and among the Company, Dell, Merger Sub, and EMC, as amended by the First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 16, 2016, by and among the Company, Dell, Merger Sub, and EMC.

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, upon the completion of the EMC merger transaction, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of EMC (approximately 2.0 billion shares as of September 7, 2016) was converted into the right to receive (1) $24.05 in cash, without interest, and (2) 0.11146 validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company designated as Class V Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class"Class V Common Stock”Stock"), plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares. Shares of the Class V Common Stock were approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”"NYSE") under the ticker symbol “DVMT”"DVMT" and began trading on September 7, 2016.

TheIn connection with the EMC merger transaction, the Company authorized 343 million shares of Class V Common Stock is a type of common stock commonly referred to as a tracking stock, which is a class of common stock that is intended to track the economic performance of a defined set of assets and liabilities. The approximatelyStock. On September 7, 2016, Dell Technologies issued 223 million shares of Class V Common Stock issued by Dell Technologies on September 7, 2016 are intended to track the economic performanceEMC shareholders at a purchase price of $45.07 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately 65%$10 billion. The total fair value of the Company's economic interest in the Class V Group as of the closing date of the EMC merger transaction. As of the closing date ofconsideration transferred to effect the EMC merger transaction thewas approximately $64 billion, which primarily consisted of cash and such shares of Class V Group, which consistsCommon Stock, as well as the fair value of non-controlling interests in VMware, Inc. and Pivotal Software, Inc. ("Pivotal"), majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries of EMC. See Note 17 of the Company's economic interest in the VMware business, consisted of approximately 343 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of VMware held by the Company. As of such date, the DHI Group retained approximately 35% of the Company's economic interest in the Class V Group. The DHI Group generally refers, in addition to such retained interest,Notes to the direct and indirect interest of Dell Technologies in all of Dell Technologies' business, assets, properties, liabilities, and preferred stock other than those attributable to the Class V Group.

AlthoughCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Class V Common Stock is intended to track the performance of approximately 65% of the Company’s economic interest in the VMware business as of the closing date of the EMC merger transaction, there can be no assurance that the market price of the Class V Common Stock will, in fact, reflect the performance of such economic interest. Holders of the Class V Common Stock are subject to all risks associated with an investment in Dell Technologies and all of its businesses, assets, and liabilities. The holders of the Class V Common Stock do not have any special rights related to, direct ownership interest in, or recourse against the assets and liabilities attributed to the Class V Group. While the Class V Group initially consists of the Company's economic interest in the shares of VMware common stock attributed to it, the Class V Group in the future may have different assets and liabilities attributed to it.

EMC, including its subsidiaries and affiliates, enables customers to build cloud-based infrastructures for existing applications while at the same time helping customers build and run new applications. EMC's businesses include Information Storage, VMware, Pivotal, RSA Information Security, and Virtustream. The EMC merger transaction represents a key element of the Company's strategy to provide the essential infrastructure for organizations to build their digital future, transform IT, and protect their most important asset, information. Revenues of approximately $3.6 billion and net loss of approximately $0.6 billion attributable to EMC were included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) from the transaction date to October 28, 2016. Both revenues and net loss attributable to EMC include the impact of purchase accounting as a result of the EMC merger transaction.

(d)Identifiable intangible assets are required to be measured at fair value. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined primarily using variations of the income approach, which is based on the present value of the future after-tax cash flows attributable to each identifiable intangible asset. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of intangible asset values, from the perspective of a market participant, include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of projected future cash flows (including revenue and profitability); the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows; the assessment of the asset’s life cycle; the competitive trends impacting the asset; technology migration factors; and customer turnover.
(e) Deferred revenue represents the fair value of remaining performance obligations and was determined based on estimates of costs incurred to-date by the acquiree or costs to be incurred by the Company and a reasonable profit margin. Profit margins were determined based on comparable service provider margins, and the resulting profits were discounted using market participant discount rates to determine fair value.

The preliminary fair values of EMC’s identifiable intangible assets and their weighted-average useful lives have been estimated as follows:
 Estimated Fair Value Weighted Average Useful Life
 (in millions) (in years)
Developed technology$13,460
 6
Customer relationships13,440
 11
Trade names (Indefinite lived)2,320

Total identifiable intangible assets$31,218
  

The total weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets subject to amortization is 8 years.

Acquisition-related Costs

From inception through October 28, 2016, the Company incurred $1.2 billion of acquisition-related costs in connection with the EMC merger transaction. Of this amount, $0.8 billion are capitalized debt issuance costs which were primarily presented as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt liability in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The remaining $0.4 billion of costs were recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for the periods presented as follows:

(b)For purposes of calculating pro forma earnings (loss) per share, the Company used the two-class method. Earnings are allocated between the Class V Common Stock and the DHI Group on a basis consistent with historical earnings (loss) per share.

The pro forma information for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016 combines the Company's historical results for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016 withand EMC's historical results for the period from August 1, 2016 to September 6, 2016 and the period from February 1, 2016 to September 6, 2016, respectively. The pro forma information for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2015 combines the Company's historical results for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2015 with EMC's results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.28, 2016. The historical results have been adjusted in the supplemental pro forma information to give effect to pro forma eventsitems that are (a) directly attributable to the EMC merger transaction, (b) factually supportable, and (c) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company’scompany's results. The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma results include the elimination of non-recurring transaction and integration costs of $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016, respectively. The pro forma information does not purport to represent what the combined company’scompany's results of operations or financial condition would have been had the EMC merger transaction actually occurred on the date indicated, and does not purport to project the combined company’scompany's results of operations for any future period or as of any future date.

Defined Benefit Pension PlanAcquisitions by VMware, Inc.

During the three months ended August 4, 2017, VMware, Inc. completed the acquisitions of Wavefront and Apteligent, Inc., which were not material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These acquisitions are a part of VMware, Inc.’s
strategy to accelerate the development of VMware Inc.'s Cloud services and other technologies. The aggregate purchase price for the two acquisitions was $323 million, inclusive of the fair value of the Company's existing investment in Wavefront of $69 million and cash acquired of $35 million. The aggregate purchase price included $36 million of identifiable intangible assets and $238 million of goodwill that is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The identifiable intangible assets primarily relate to purchased technology, with estimated useful lives of five years. The fair value of assumed unvested equity attributable to post-combination services was $37 million and will be expensed over the remaining requisite service periods on a straight-line basis. The estimated fair value of the stock options assumed by the Company was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Prior to the closing of the acquisition, Dell Technologies, including VMware, Inc., held an ownership interest in Wavefront. Upon completion of the step acquisition, Dell Technologies recognized a $45 million gain in interest and other, net for the remeasurement of its ownership interest to fair value. The gain recognized in the step acquisition is not expected to be taxable.

The Company has not presented pro forma results of operations for the foregoing acquisitions because they are not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

NOTE 4—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Dell Services Divestiture — On March 27, 2016, Dell entered into a definitive agreement with NTT Data International L.L.C. to divest substantially all of Dell Services, including the Dell Services Federal Government business. Dell Services includes business process outsourcing, application management, and infrastructure services. The transaction does not include the global support, deployment, and professional services offerings. During the three months ended October 28, 2016, as the result of continued negotiations and finalization of terms of the sale, the Company reclassified an immaterial amount of financial results, accounts payable, and accounts receivable from discontinued operations to continuing operations for all periods presented, to reflect the updated terms.

On November 2, 2016, subsequent to the Company's third quarter of Fiscal 2017, the parties closed the transaction. Total cash consideration received by the Company through the date of this report was approximately $3.0 billion, resulting in an estimated pre-tax gain on sale of approximately $1.5 billion.

Dell Software Group Divestiture — On June 19, 2016, Dell entered into a definitive agreement with Francisco Partners and Elliot Management Corporation to divest substantially all of DSG. The transaction includes DSG's systems and information management, security solutions, and Statistica businesses. The transaction does not include the Company's cloud integration business.

On October 31, 2016, subsequent to the close of the Company's third quarter of Fiscal 2017, the parties closed the transaction. At the completion of the sale, total cash consideration received by the Company was approximately $2.4 billion, resulting in an estimated pre-tax gain on sale of approximately $1.2 billion.

Enterprise Content Division Divestiture — On September 12, 2016, EMC entered into a definitive agreement with OpenText Corporation to divest the Dell EMC Enterprise Content Division (including the Documentum, InfoArchive, and LEAP families of products) for cash consideration of approximately $1.6 billion. The pending transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2017, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approvals from regulatory authorities.

Discontinued Operations Presentation — In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company concluded that Dell Services, DSG, and ECD have met the criteria for discontinued operations reporting as of March 27, 2016, June 19, 2016, and September 7, 2016, respectively. Accordingly, the Company reclassified the financial results of Dell Services and DSG as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for all periods presented. The Company classified the results of ECD as discontinued operations for the period from September 7, 2016 to October 28, 2016 due to the ECD business only being included in the Company's consolidated results since the closing of the EMC merger transaction. These financial results are presented as “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016 and October 30, 2015. The Company reclassified the related assets and liabilities as “Current assets held for sale” and “Current liabilities held for sale” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016. Cash flows from the Company's discontinued operations are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

____________________
(a) The Company did not transfer any securities between levels during the nine months ended October 28, 2016.November 3, 2017.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial instruments at fair value:

Money Market Funds— The Company's investment in money market funds that are classified as cash equivalents hold underlying investments with a weighted average maturity of 90 days or less and are recognized at fair value. The valuations of these securities are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, when available, or pricing models whereby all significant inputs are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The Company reviews security pricing and assesses liquidity on a quarterly basis. As of October 28, 2016,November 3, 2017, the Company's U.S. portfolio had no material exposure to money market funds with a fluctuating net asset value.

Cash Equivalent Municipal ObligationsEquity and Other Securities — The majority of the Company's municipal obligationsinvestments in equity and other securities that are classified as cash equivalents have original maturities of 90 days or less and are recognizedmeasured at fair value. value on a recurring basis consist of strategic investments in publicly traded companies. The valuation methodology forof these securities is the same as the methodology for non-cash equivalent municipal obligations as describedbased on quoted prices in the Debt Securities section below.active markets.

Debt Securities— The majority of the Company's debt securities consistconsists of various fixed income securities such as U.S. government and agencies, U.S. corporate, and foreign. Valuation is based on pricing models whereby all significant inputs, including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issue spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and other


2821

(unaudited)

including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issue spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and other market related data, are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset. Inputs are documented in accordance with the fair value measurements hierarchy. The Company reviews security pricing and assesses liquidity on a quarterly basis. See Note 65 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about investments.
Equity Securities— The majority of 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.

Derivative Instruments — The Company's derivative financial instruments consist primarily of foreign currency forward and purchased option contracts and interest rate swaps. The fair value of the portfolio is determined using valuation models based on market observable inputs, including interest rate curves, forward and spot prices for currencies, and implied volatilities. Credit risk is also factored into the fair value calculation of the Company's derivative instrument portfolio. See Note 98 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company's derivative financial instrument activities.

Debt - Other — As of January 29, 2016, the Company recognized a portion of its short-term debt at fair value. This debt was represented by promissory notes issued on August 3, 2015 and September 14, 2015, which were extinguished during the nine months ended October 28, 2016. The Company determined fair value using a discounted cash flow model which included significant unobservable inputs and assumptions.  The unobservable inputs used include projected cash outflows over varying possible maturity dates, weighted by the probability of those possible outcomes, along with assumed discount rates.

Common Stock Purchase Agreements — On September 7, 2016, in connection with the EMC merger transaction, the Company issued and sold the following shares of the Company's common stock at a purchase price of $27.50 per share to the persons identified below for an aggregate purchase price of $4.4 billion, pursuant to four separate common stock purchase agreements:
86,909,091 shares of Class A Common Stock to the MD Stockholders
16,104,050 shares of Class A Common Stock to the MSDC Stockholders
38,805,040 shares of Class B Common Stock to the SLP Stockholders
18,181,818 shares of Class C Common Stock to Temasek Holdings Private Limited ("Temasek")

The Company applied the proceeds from the sale of the shares to finance a portion of the consideration for the EMC merger transaction. Each agreement provided for price protection in the event additional equity investors purchased common stock of the Company at a lower price. The agreements with Michael S. Dell, the MSDC Stockholders, and the SLP Stockholders were not required to be remeasured to fair value and were effectively capital commitments, because of the degree of control and influence such persons could exercise over the Company. The provision relating to price protection was considered substantive to Temasek as an unrelated party. Consequently, the Company recognized the contract as an asset or liability, initially recorded at fair value of zero, with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in earnings. The Company determined the fair value of this forward contract using a Black-Scholes valuation model, which included significant unobservable inputs and assumptions.

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 non-financial assets such as goodwill and intangible assets and investments accounted for under the cost method.assets. See Note 109 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about goodwill and intangible assets.

As of November 3, 2017 and February 3, 2017, the Company held strategic investments of $507 million and $455 million, respectively. These investments are accounted for under the cost method and are not included in the recurring fair value table above. Investments accounted for under the cost method are measuredrecorded at cost initially, which approximates fair value initially.value. Subsequently, whenif there is an indicator of impairment, the impairment is recognized.

recent financing events and the impact of those on its fully diluted ownership percentages, as well as other available information regarding the issuer's historical and forecasted performance. As these investments are early-stage companies which are not publicly traded, it is not practicable for the Company to reliably estimate the fair value of these investments.

Carrying Value and Estimated Fair Value of Outstanding Debt— The following table summarizes the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company's outstanding debt as described in Note 87 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the current portion, as of the dates indicated:

Credit Quality

The following table summarizes customer receivables, gross, including accrued interest, by credit quality indicator segregated by class, as of October 28, 2016November 3, 2017 and January 29, 2016.February 3, 2017. The categories shown in the table below segregate customer receivables based on the relative degrees of credit risk. The credit quality indicators for DPA revolving accounts are measured primarily as of each quarter-end date, while all other indicators are generally updated on a periodic basis.

For DPA revolving receivables shown in the table below, the Company makes credit decisions based on proprietary scorecards, which include the customer's credit history, payment history, credit usage, and other credit agency-related elements. The higher quality category includes prime accounts generally of a higher credit quality that are comparable to U.S. customer FICO scores of 720 or above. The mid-category represents the mid-tier accounts that are comparable to U.S. customer FICO scores from 660 to 719. The lower category is generally sub-prime and represents lower credit quality accounts that are comparable to U.SU.S. customer FICO scores below 660. For the DBC revolving receivables and fixed-term commercial receivables shown in the table below, an internal grading system is utilized that assigns a credit level score based on a number of considerations, including liquidity, operating performance, and industry outlook. The grading criteria and classifications for the fixed-term products differ from those for the revolving products as loss experience varies between these product and customer groups. The credit quality categories cannot be compared between the different classes as loss experience varies substantially between the classes.

____________________
(a)During the three months ended May 5, 2017, the Company modified its credit scoring methodology for fixed-term financing receivables in response to changes in its go-to-market strategy. This methodology has been modified to a single, consistent, and comparable model across all fixed-term product customers. In connection with this change, the Company has recategorized existing fixed-term customers and has recast prior period credit quality categories to align with the current period presentation.

Securitizations and Structured Financing Debt

The Company transfers certain U.S. customer financing receivables to Special Purpose Entities ("SPEs") that meet the definition of a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") and are consolidated, along with the associated debt, into the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, as the Company is the primary beneficiary of those VIEs. These SPEs are bankruptcy remote legal entities with separate assets and liabilities. The purpose of these SPEs is tomaintains programs which facilitate the funding of customerfinancing receivables in the capital markets.

The following table shows financing receivables held by the consolidated VIEs as of the respective dates:

Financing receivables transferred via securitization through SPEs were $0.6 billion and $0.7 billion for the three months ended October 28, 2016 and October 30, 2015, respectively, and $2.0 billion and $2.5 billion for the nine months ended October 28, 2016 and October 30, 2015, respectively.

Some of the SPEs have entered into financing arrangements with multi-seller conduits that, in turn, issue asset-backed debt securitiesmarkets in the capital markets. The structured financing debt outstanding, collateralized by the financing receivables held by

the consolidated VIEs, was $2.8 billion as of both October 28, 2016United States, Canada, and January 29, 2016. 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 in the form of over-collateralization.

Europe. The Company's total structured financing debt, which is collateralized by financing receivables, in the United States, Canada,was $4.3 billion and Europe, was $3.4$3.5 billion as of both October 28, 2016November 3, 2017 and January 29, 2016February 3, 2017, respectively, under the following programs:

This debt is collateralized solely by the U.SU.S. financing receivables in the programs. The debt has a variable interest rate and the duration of this debt is based on the terms of the underlying financing receivables. As of October 28, 2016,November 3, 2017, the total debt capacity related to the U.S. securitization programs was $2.1 billion.

NOTE 98 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Derivative Instruments

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.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. 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 derivative and recognizes any ineffective portion of the hedge in earnings as a component of interest and other, net. Hedge ineffectiveness recognized in earnings was not material during the three and nine months ended November 3, 2017 and October 28, 2016 and October 30, 2015.

In connection with the EMC merger transaction, the Company acquired foreign exchange derivative instruments with a fair value of approximately $7.0 million as of the closing date of the transaction. The portfolio of instruments is comprised of foreign currency forward and option contracts that mature at various times within 12 months.  The Company elected to leave the acquired instruments undesignated from a hedge accounting perspective.2016.

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 purchased options is limited to premium amounts paid for the option contracts. 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 majority of these contracts typically expire in twelve months or less.

During the three and nine months ended November 3, 2017 and October 28, 2016, and October 30, 2015, 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 the expanded offerings of DFS in Europe, forward contracts are used to hedge financing receivables denominated in foreign currencies. 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 three 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 three-month Euribor floating rate basis in order to match the floating rate nature of the banks' funding pool. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting and most expire within three years or less.

The Company utilizes cross currency amortizing swaps to hedge the currency and interest rate risk exposure associated with the securitization program that was established in Europe in January 2017.  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 British Pound or U.S. Dollar amount and receives a floating amount in Euro linked to the one-month Euribor.  The notional value of the swaps amortizes in line with the expected cash flows and run-off of the securitized assets.  The swaps mature within five years or less and are not designated for hedge accounting.

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. Based on the results of the annual impairment test, which was a quantitative test for certain goodwill reporting units and a qualitative test for others, no impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets existed for any reporting unit as of October 28, 2016.November 3, 2017. As a result of this analysis, it was determined that the excess of fair value over carrying amount was greater than 20% for all of the Company's existing goodwill reporting units as of November 3, 2017, with the exception of the Core Storage, Servers and Networking reporting unit within the Infrastructure Solutions Group segment, which had an excess of fair value over carrying amount of 18% as of such date. Management will continue to monitor the Core Storage, Servers, and Networking goodwill reporting unit and consider potential impacts to the impairment assessment.  Further, the Company did not have any accumulated goodwill impairment charges as of October 28, 2016.November 3, 2017.

Management exercised significant judgment related to the above assessment, including the identification of goodwill reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to goodwill reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each goodwill reporting unit. The fair value of each goodwill reporting unit is generally estimated using a combination of public company multiples and discounted cash flow methodology.methodologies. This analysis requires significant judgments,judgment, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, the estimation of the long-term growth rate of the Company's business, and the determination of the Company's weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the fair value of the goodwill reporting unit, potentially resulting in a non-cash impairment charge.

NOTE 12 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Commitments— The Company leases property and equipment, manufacturing facilities, and office space under non-cancelable leases. Certain of these leases obligate the Company to pay taxes, maintenance, and repair costs. At October 28, 2016, future minimum lease payments under these non-cancelable leases were as follows: $63 million in Fiscal 2017; $473 million in Fiscal 2018; $373 million in Fiscal 2019; $285 million in Fiscal 2020; $221 million in Fiscal 2021; and $963 million thereafter.Legal Matters

For the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016, rent expense under all leases totaled $110 million and $179 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended October 30, 2015, rent expense under all leases totaled $33 million and $99 million, respectively.

Purchase Obligations— The Company has contractual obligations to purchase goods or services, which specify significant
terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the
approximate timing of the transaction. As of October 28, 2016, the Company had $2,510 million, $137 million, and $112 million in purchase obligations for Fiscal 2017, Fiscal 2018, and Fiscal 2019 and thereafter, respectively.

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 would be recorded in the period in which such a determination is made. For some matters, the amount of liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and therefore accruals have not been made. The following is a discussion of the Company's significant legal matters and other proceedings:

EMC Merger Litigation — The Company, Dell, and Universal Acquisition Co. (“Universal”("Universal") have beenwere named as defendants in fifteen putative class-action lawsuits brought by purported EMC shareholders and VMware, Inc. stockholders challenging the proposed merger between the Company, Dell, and Universal on the one hand, and EMC on the other (the “EMC merger”"EMC merger").

Appraisal Proceedings On October 29, 2013, Dell Technologies acquired Dell in a transaction referred to as the going-private transaction.  Holders of shares of Dell common stock who did not vote on September 12, 2013 in favor of the proposal to adopt the amended going-private transaction agreement and who properly demanded appraisal of their shares and who otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporate Law ("DGCL") are entitled to seek appraisal for, and obtain payment in cash for the judicially determined "fair value" (as defined pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL) of, their shares in lieu of receiving the going-private transaction consideration. Dell initially recorded a liability of $13.75 for each share with respect to which appraisal has been demanded and as to which the demand has not been withdrawn, together with interest at the statutory rate discussed below. As of October 28, 2016, thisThis liability was approximately $129 million compared to approximately $593 million as of January 29, 2016, as the Company settled a substantial portion of the liability during the nine months ended October 28, 2016. Also during the nine months ended October 28, 2016, as discussed further below, theboth November 3, 2017 and February 3, 2017. The Court of Chancery ruled that that the fair value of the appraisal shares as of October 29, 2013, the date on which the going-private transaction became effective, was $17.62 per share. On November 21, 2016, the Chancery Court entered final judgment in the appraisal action. On November 22, 2016, Dell filed a notice of appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court. That appeal is pending. The Company believes it was adequately reserved for the appraisal proceedings as of October 28, 2016.

Between October 29, 2013 and February 25, 2014, former Dell stockholders filed petitions in thirteen separate matters commencing appraisal proceedings in the Delaware Court of Chancery in which they seek a determination of the fair value of a total of approximately 38 million shares of Dell common stock plus interest, costs, and attorneys' fees. These matters have been consolidated as In Re Appraisal of Dell (C.A. No. 9322-VCL). The trial took place during the week of October 5, 2015.

The appraisal proceedings were conducted in accordance with the rules of the Delaware Court of Chancery. In these proceedings, the Court of Chancery determined the fair value of the shares as to which appraisal has been properly demanded, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the going-private transaction. Interest on such fair value from the effective time of the going-private transaction through the date of payment of the judgment will be compounded quarterly and will accrue at a per annum rate of 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time. Any payment in respect of the shares subject to appraisal rights will be required to be paid in cash.

The petitioners sought $28.61 per share, plus interest. Dell, by contrast, believes that the fair value of Dell on the day the going-private transaction was completed was $12.68 per share. The number of shares subject to appraisal demands, including shares held by those parties who have sought appraisal but not filed petitions, originally was 38,766,982. By orders dated June 27 and September 10, 2014, and May 13, May 14, July 13 and July 28, 2015, the Court of Chancery dismissed claims of holders of approximately 2,530,322 shares for failure to comply with the statutory requirements for seeking appraisal. On July 30, 2015, Dell moved for summary judgment seeking to dismiss claims of holders of an additional 30,730,930 shares (as well as a number of shares previously disqualified on other grounds) because those shares were voted in favor of the going-private transaction, and thus failed to comply with the statutory requirements for seeking appraisal. On May 11, 2016, the Court of Chancery granted Dell's motion and dismissed the appraisal claims of the holders of the 30,730,930 shares, determining that they were entitled to the merger consideration without interest. On May 18, 2016, the petitioners filed a motion for an equitable award of interest, which was denied by the Court on May 31, 2016.

The Court of Chancery ruled on May 31, 2016, that the fair value of shares as of October 29, 2013, the date on which the going-private transaction became effective, was $17.62 per share. This ruling would entitle the holders of the remaining 5,505,730 shares subject to the appraisal proceedings to $17.62 per share, plus interest at a statutory rate, compounded quarterly. On June 6, 2016, the petitioners filed a motion to amend the Court’s memorandum opinion, which was denied by the Court on June 16, 2016. On November 21, 2016, the Court of Chancery Court entered final judgment in the appraisal action. On November 22, 2016, Dell filed a notice of appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court. ThatCourt, and a hearing was held on that appeal on September 27, 2017. A ruling on the appeal is pending.

On June 29, 2016, the The Company Dell, and certain funds affiliated with T. Rowe entered into a settlement agreement to resolve a dispute regarding the fair value and interest due on approximately 31,653,905 shares held by the funds, representing the 30,730,930 shares subject to claims that were dismissed on May 11, 2016 plus an additional 922,975 shares that had been previously disqualified on other grounds. The terms of the T. Rowe settlement, among other matters, provide that, in exchangebelieves it was adequately reserved for a release and dismissal of all asserted claims, the Company pay $13.75 per share for a total sum of approximately $463 million, including interest. On June 29, 2016, the Court entered an order approving the settlement, which was subsequently consummated. The remaining 5,505,730 shares not subject to the settlement agreement remain subject to the appraisal proceedings. Onproceedings as of November 21, 2016, the Chancery Court entered final judgment in the appraisal action. On November 22, 2016, Dell filed a notice of appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court. That appeal is pending.3, 2017.

Securities Litigation — On May 22, 2014, a securities class action seeking compensatory damages was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned the City of Pontiac Employee Retirement System vs. Dell Inc. et. al. (Case No. 1:14-cv-03644).  The action names as defendants Dell Inc. and certain current and former executive officers, and alleges that Dell made false and misleading statements about Dell’sDell's business operations and products between February 22, 2012 and May 22, 2012, which resulted in artificially inflated stock prices. The case was transferred to the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, where the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. On September 16, 2016, the Court denied the motion to dismiss and the case is proceeding with discovery. The defendants believe the claims asserted are without merit and the risk of material loss is remote.

Copyright Levies — The Company's obligation to collect and remit copyright levies in certain European Union ("EU") countries may be affected by the resolution of legal proceedings pending in Germany and other EU member states against various companies, including Dell's German subsidiary, and elsewhere in the EU against other companies in Dell's industry.Dell subsidiaries. The plaintiffs in those proceedings some of which are described below, generally seek to impose or modify the levies with respect to sales of such equipment as multifunction devices, phones, personal computers, storage devices, and printers, alleging that such products enable the copying of copyrighted materials. Some of the proceedings also challenge whether the levy

(unaudited)

schemes in those countries comply with EU law. Certain EU member countries that do not yet impose levies on digital devices are expected to implement legislation to enable them to extend existing levy schemes, while some other EU member countries are expected to limit the scope of levy schemes and their applicability in the digital hardware environment. Dell, other companies, and various industry associations have opposed the extension of levies to the digital environment and have advocated alternative models of compensation to rights holders. The Company continues to collect levies in certain EU countries where it has determined that based on local laws it is probable that it has a payment obligation. The amount of levies is generally based on the number of products sold and the per-product amounts of the levies, which vary. The Company accrues a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and when it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss.

On December 29, 2005, Zentralstelle für private Überspielungsrechte ("ZPÜ"), a joint association of various German collecting societies, instituted arbitration proceedings against Dell's German subsidiary before the Board of Arbitration at the German Patent and Trademark Office in Munich, and subsequently filed a lawsuit in the German Regional Court in Munich on February 21, 2008, seeking levies to be paid on each personal computer sold by Dell in Germany through the end of calendar year 2007. On December 23, 2009, ZPÜ and the German industry association, BCH, reached a settlement regarding audio-video copyright levy litigation (with levies ranging from €3.15 to €13.65 per unit). Dell joined this settlement on February 23, 2010, and has paid the amounts due under the settlement. On March 25, 2014, ZPÜ and Dell reached a settlement for levies to be paid on each personal computer sold for the period of January 2, 2011 through December 31, 2016. The amount of the settlement is not material to the Company. The amount of any levies payable after calendar year 2016, as well as the Company's ability to recover such amounts through increased prices, remains uncertain.

German courts are also considering a lawsuit originally filed in July 2004 by VG Wort, a German collecting society representing certain copyright holders, against Hewlett-Packard Company in the Stuttgart Civil Court seeking levies on printers, and a lawsuit originally filed in September 2003 by the same plaintiff against Fujitsu Siemens Computer GmbH in Munich Civil Court in Munich, Germany seeking levies on personal computers. In each case, the civil and appellate courts held that the subject classes of equipment were subject to levies. In July 2011, the German Federal Supreme Court, to which the lower court holdings have been appealed, referred each case to the Court of Justice of the European Union, submitting a number of legal questions on the interpretation of the European Copyright Directive which the German Federal Supreme Court deems necessary for its decision. In August 2014, the German Supreme Court delivered an opinion ruling that printers and personal computers are subject to levies, and referred the case back to the Court of Appeals. Dell joined the industry settlement in the Fujitsu Siemens case, and Dell believes it has no remaining material obligations in either case. 

Proceedings seeking to impose or modify copyright levies for sales of digital devices also have been instituted in courts in other EU member states. Even in countries where Dell is not a party to such proceedings, decisions in those cases could impact Dell's business and the amount of copyright levies Dell may be required to collect.

The ultimate resolution of these proceedings and the associated financial impact to the Company, if any, including the number of units potentially affected, the amount of levies imposed, and the ability of the Company to recover such amounts, remain uncertain at this time. Should the courts determine there is liability for previous units shipped beyond the amount of levies the Company has collected or accrued, the Company would be liable for such incremental amounts. Recovery of any such amounts from others by the Company would be possible only on future collections related to future shipments.

Other Litigation — The various legal proceedings in which Dell is involved include commercial litigation and a variety of patent suits. In some of these cases, Dell is the sole defendant. More often, particularly in the patent suits, Dell is one of a number of defendants in the electronics and technology industries. Dell is actively defending a number of patent infringement suits, and several pending claims are in various stages of evaluation. While the number of patent cases varies over time, Dell does not currently anticipate that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

As of October 28, 2016,November 3, 2017, the Company does not believe there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss exceeding the amounts already accrued for these or other 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 variables, including the nature, timing, and amount of any associated expenses, amounts paid in settlement, damages, or other remedies or consequences.

Indemnifications —

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which it may agree to indemnify the third party to such arrangements from any losses incurred relating to the services it performs on behalf of the Company or for losses arising from certain events as defined in the particular contract, such as litigation or claims relating to past performance. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments related to these indemnifications have not been material to the Company.

In connection with the divestitures discussed in Note 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has indemnified the purchasers of businesses for the occurrence of specified events. The Company does not currently believe that contingent obligations to provide indemnification in connection with these divestitures will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Purchase Obligations

The Company has contractual obligations to purchase goods or services, which specify significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. As of November 3, 2017, the Company had $3,055 million, $278 million, and $458 million in purchase obligations for Fiscal 2018 (remaining three months), Fiscal 2019, and Fiscal 2020 and thereafter, respectively.

NOTE 13 — INCOME AND OTHER TAXES

For the three and nine months ended November 3, 2017, the Company's effective income tax rates for continuing operations were 22.6% and 31.4%, respectively, on pre-tax losses from continuing operations of $1.2 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively. For the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016, the Company's effective income tax rates for continuing operations were 29.0% and 21.1%, respectively, on pre-tax losses from continuing operations of $2.3 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively. ForThe changes in the Company's effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2015, the Company's effective income tax ratesNovember 3, 2017 were 6.0% and 8.1% on pre-tax losses from continuing operations of $0.3 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. The change in the Company's effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to tax benefits from charges incurred associated with the EMC merger transaction, including purchase accounting adjustments, interest charges, and stock-based compensation expense. These benefits were partially offset by a higher mix of operating income in higher-tax jurisdictions. SeeFor more information regarding the EMC merger transaction, see Note 1 and Note 32 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial StatementsStatements. The change in the Company's effective income tax rate for more information on the EMC merger transaction.nine months ended November 3, 2017 was also impacted by tax charges recognized in the prior year during the three and six months ended July 29, 2016 related to the divestitures of Dell Services and DSG. The income tax rate for future quartersthe remaining quarter of Fiscal 20172018 will be impacted by the actual mix of jurisdictions in which income is generated.

The differences between the estimated effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% principally result from the Company's geographical distribution of income and differences between the book and tax treatment of certain items. A portion of the Company's operations is subject to a reduced tax rate or is free of tax under various tax holidays. A significant portion of these income tax benefits is relatedrelate to a tax holiday that will expire on December 31, 2016. The Company has negotiated new terms for the affected subsidiary, which provides for a reduced income tax rate and will be effective for a two-year bridge period expiringexpires in January 2019. The Company's other tax holidays will expire in whole or in part during Fiscalfiscal years 2019 through Fiscal 2023. Many of these tax holidays and reduced tax rates may be extended when certain conditions are met or may be terminated early if certain conditions are not met.

With the EMC merger transaction, the Company acquired $6.2 billion of net deferred tax liabilities, which are included in other non-current assets and other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company has not provided deferred taxes on undistributed earnings and other basis differences of EMC’s foreign subsidiaries as it is the Company's intention for these to remain permanently reinvested.

Subsequent to October 28, 2016, the Company effectively settled its Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") audit for fiscal years 2004 through 2006. See Note 22 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the settlement. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2007 through 2009 are currently under examinationconsideration by the Office of Appeals of the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). The IRS which issued a Revenue Agent's Report ("RAR") related to those years during the nine monthsfiscal year ended October 28, 2016.February 3, 2017.  The IRS has proposed adjustments primarily relating to certain tax positions taken on the tax returnstransfer pricing matters with which the Company disagrees and will contest through the IRS administrative appeals procedures. In May 2017, the IRS commenced a federal income tax audit for fiscal years 2010 through 2014, which could take several years to complete. Prior to the EMC merger transaction, EMC received a RAR for its tax years 2009 and 2010, and during the three months ended May 5, 2017, EMC received an RAR for its tax years 2009 and 2010.year 2011.  The Company also disagrees with certain proposed adjustments in this RARthese RARs and is currently contesting the proposed adjustments through the IRS administrative appeals process.

The Company is also currently under income tax audits in various state and foreign jurisdictions.  The Company is undergoing negotiations, and in some cases contested proceedings, relating to tax matters with the taxing authorities in these jurisdictions.  The Company believes that it has provided adequate reserves related to all matters contained in tax periods open to examination.  Although the Company believes it has made adequate provisions for the uncertainties surrounding 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.  With respect to major U.S. state and foreign taxing jurisdictions, the Company is generally not subject to tax examinations for years prior to fiscal year 2000.2007.

Judgment is required in evaluating the Company's uncertain tax positions and determining the Company's provision for income taxes. The Company's net unrecognized tax benefits were $3.2 billion and $3.1 billion as of November 3, 2017 and February 3, 2017, respectively, and are included in accrued and other, and other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position was $3.8 billion and $3.1 billion as of October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016, respectively. Included in the balance as of October 28, 2016 is $547 million of unrecognized tax benefits acquired as a part of the EMC merger transaction. Other than the IRS settlement described above, thePosition. The Company does not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

The Company takes certain non-income tax positions in the jurisdictions in which it operates and has received certain non-income tax assessments from various jurisdictions. The Company believes that a material loss in these matters is not probable and that it is not reasonably possible that a material loss exceeding amounts already accrued has been incurred.  The Company believes its positions in these non-income tax litigation matters are supportable and that it ultimately will prevail.prevail in the matters. In the normal course of business, the Company's positions and conclusions related to its non-income taxes could be challenged and assessments may be made. To the extent new information is obtained and the Company's views on its positions, probable outcomes of assessments, or litigation change, changes in estimates to the Company's accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such a determination is made. In the resolution process for income tax and non-income tax audits, in certain situations the Company maywill be required to provide collateral guarantees or indemnification to regulators and tax authorities until the matter is resolved.

NOTE 16 — EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted-average effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares used in the basic earnings (loss) 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 (loss) per share if the effect of including such instruments is antidilutive.

The Company has two groups of common stock, denoted as the DHI Group Common Stock and the Class V Common Stock. The DHI Group Common Stock consists of four classes of common stock, referred to as Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock, and Class D Common Stock. The DHI Group generally refers to the direct and indirect interest of Dell Technologies in all of Dell Technologies' business, assets, properties, liabilities, and preferred stock other than those attributable to the Class V Group, as well as its retained interest in the Class V Group equal to approximately 35%39% of the Company's economic interest in the Class V Group as of the closing date of the EMC merger transaction.November 3, 2017. The Class V Common Stock is intended to track the economic performance of approximately 65%61% of the Company's economic interest in the Class V Group as of such date. As of the closing date of the EMC merger transaction,November 3, 2017, the Class V Group consisted solely of approximately 343331 million shares of VMware, Inc. common stock of VMware held by the Company. See Note 17 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Exhibit 99.1 filed with thisto the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended November 3, 2017 for more information regarding the allocation of earnings from Dell Technologies' interest in VMware, Inc. between the DHI Group and the Class V Common Stock.

For purposes of calculating earnings (loss) per share, the Company used the two-class method. As all classes of DHI Group Common Stock share the same rights in dividends, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same for each class of DHI Group Common Stock.

The following table sets forth basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for each of the periods presented:

NOTE 18 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Dell Technologies Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive PlanOn September 7, 2016, at the effective time of the EMC merger transaction, the Denali Holding Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) was amended and restated as the Dell Technologies Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Restated Plan"). Employees, consultants, non-employee directors, and other service providers of the Company or its affiliates are eligible to participate in the Restated Plan. The Restated Plan authorizes the issuance of an aggregate of 75 million shares of the Company’s Class C Common Stock and 500,000 shares of the Company’s Class V Common Stock, of which approximately 61 million shares of Class C Common Stock were previously reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan. The Restated Plan authorizes the Company to grant stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), and dividend equivalents.

As of October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016, there were approximately 21 million and 17 million shares, respectively, of common stock of Dell Technologies available for future grants under the Restated Plan and the 2013 Plan.

Stock Option Agreements — Stock options granted under the Restated Plan include service-based awards and performance-based awards. A majority of the service-based stock options vest pro-rata at each option anniversary date over a five year period. Performance-based stock options, with a market condition, become exercisable upon achievement of return on equity ("ROE") metrics up to the seven year anniversary of the going-private transaction date, depending upon the achievement of the market condition. Both service-based and performance-based stock options are granted with option exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock, as determined by the Company's board of directors. Generally, common stock issued under both service-based and performance-based awards are subject to liquidity events, such as an initial public offering, change in control, sales of common stock under an annual company liquidity program, and calls and puts resulting upon the occurrence of specified events. A majority of the stock options expire ten years after the date of grant. Compensation expense for service-based stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, while compensation expense for performance-based stock options, with a market condition, is recognized on a graded accelerated basis net of estimated forfeitures over the requisite service period.

Stock Option Activity — The following table summarizes stock option activity during the nine months ended October 28, 2016:

The tax benefit related to stock option expense was $9 million and $24 million for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016, respectively, and $7 million and $19 million for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2015, respectively.

In connection with the EMC merger transaction and in accordance with the merger agreement, certain executives holding unvested restricted stock units of EMC ("EMC RSUs") were given the opportunity to elect to exchange each unvested EMC RSU held by such executives that would otherwise have vested in the ordinary course on or after January 1, 2017 for (a) a deferred cash award having a cash value equal to the closing price of a share of EMC common stock on the last trading day before the closing date of the EMC merger transaction, or $29.05, and (b) an option ("rollover option") to purchase a share of Class C Common Stock of Dell Technologies ("the rollover opportunity"). The rollover options have a three-year term and a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of Class C Common Stock on the date of grant, or $27.50, and, to the extent vested, may be exercised using a cashless exercise method for both the exercise price and the applicable minimum required tax withholding (subject to certain limitations). Each deferred cash award will vest, and each rollover option will vest and thereby become exercisable, on the same schedule as the EMC RSU for which they were exchanged (with any performance-vesting condition deemed satisfied at the target level of performance upon the closing of the EMC merger transaction). Pursuant to the rollover opportunity, options to purchase shares of Class C Common Stock were issued and have been included within the stock option activity table above as granted options.
Valuation of Service-Based Stock Option Awards— For service-based stock options granted under the 2013 Plan and the Restated Plan, the Company utilized the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options at the grant date. The Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporates various assumptions, including leveraged adjusted volatility of a public peer group, expected term, risk-free interest rates, and dividend yields. The weighted assumptions utilized for valuation of options under this model as well as the weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the respective periods are presented below.

The expected term is based on historical experience and on the terms and conditions of the stock awards granted to employees. For the periods presented, option valuations used leverage-adjusted volatility of a peer group and the expected term was based on analysis of the Company's historical option settlement experience and on the terms and conditions of the stock awards granted.

The assumptions utilized in this model as well as the weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted are presented below:

Risk-free rate (U.S. Government Treasury Note)1.0% 1.5%
Expected volatility52% 46%
Expected dividend yield% %
Forfeiture Rate6.1% 6.1%

Valuation of Performance-Based Stock Option Awards— For performance-based stock options granted under the 2013 Plan and the Restated Plan, the Company utilized the Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate probabilities of achievement of the market condition and the grant date fair value. The valuation model for performance-based option grants during the nine months ended October 28, 2016 and October 30, 2015 used a weighted-average leverage adjusted 5 years peer volatility and corresponding risk free interest rate. Upon fulfillment of a ROE condition, a specific portion of the performance options become exercisable.  An embedded binomial lattice option pricing model was used to determine the value of these exercisable options using the assumption that each option will be exercised at the midpoint between the date of satisfaction of a ROE condition and the expiration date of such option.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards— The Company's restricted stock primarily consists of RSU awards granted to employees. RSUs are valued based on the Company's Class C Common Stock price on the date of grant. The shares underlying the RSU awards are not issued until the RSU vests. Upon vesting, each RSU converts into one share of Class C Common Stock.

The Company's restricted stock also includes performance stock units ("PSU") awards, which have been granted to certain of the Company's executives and employees. The PSU awards include performance conditions and, in certain cases, a time-based vesting component. For PSU awards granted under the 2013 Plan and the Restated Plan, the Company utilized the Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate the probabilities of achievement of the market condition and the grant date fair value. The vesting and payout of the PSU awards depends upon the return on equity achieved on various measurement dates and liquidity events. Upon fulfillment of a ROE condition, a specific portion of the PSU award becomes exercisable.

SecureWorks Long-Term Incentive Plan — In connection with the SecureWorks IPO, its board of directors adopted the SecureWorks 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2016 Plan"). The 2016 Plan became effective on April 18, 2016 and will expire on the tenth anniversary of the effective date unless the 2016 Plan is terminated earlier by the board of directors or in connection with a change in control of SecureWorks Corp. SecureWorks has reserved 8,500,000 shares of Class A common stock for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan provides for the grant of options, SARs, RSAs, RSUs, deferred stock units, unrestricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, other equity-based awards and cash bonus awards.

any other individual whose participation in the 2016 Plan is determined to be in the best interests of SecureWorks by the compensation committee of the board of directors.

The stock option and restricted stock units activity under the 2016 Plan was not material during the nine months ended October 28, 2016.

VMware

The following VMware stock incentive plans were assumed on September 7, 2016 in connection with the EMC merger transaction:

VMware Equity PlansIn June 2007, VMware adopted its 2007 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). As of October 28, 2016, the number of authorized shares under the 2007 Plan was 122 million. The number of shares underlying outstanding equity awards that VMware assumes in the course of business acquisitions are also added to the 2007 Plan reserve on an as-converted basis. VMware has assumed 4 million shares, which accordingly have been added to the authorized shares under the 2007 Plan reserve.

Awards under the 2007 Plan may be in the form of stock-based awards such as RSUs or stock options. Generally, restricted stock grants made under the 2007 Plan have a three-year to four-year period over which they vest and vest 25% the first year and semi-annually thereafter. VMware’s Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee determines the vesting schedule for all equity awards. VMware’s restricted stock also include PSU awards, which have been granted to certain VMware executives and employees. The PSU awards include performance conditions and, in certain cases, a time-based vesting component. Upon vesting, each PSU award will convert into VMware’s Class A common stock at various ratios ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 shares per PSU, depending upon the degree of achievement of the performance target designated by each individual award. If minimum performance thresholds are not achieved, then no shares will be issued.

The exercise price for a stock option awarded under the 2007 Plan shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of VMware Class A common stock on the date of grant. Most options granted under the 2007 Plan vest 25% after the first year and monthly thereafter over the following three years and expire between six and seven years from the date of grant. VMware utilizes both authorized and unissued shares to satisfy all shares issued under the 2007 Plan. As of October 28, 2016, there were an aggregate of 15 million shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to future grants under the 2007 Plan.

The above table includes stock options granted in conjunction with unvested stock options assumed in business combinations. As a result, the weighted-average exercise price per share may vary from the VMware stock price at time of grant. Aggregate intrinsic values represent the total pretax intrinsic values based on VMware’s closing stock price of $77.65 as of October 28, 2016 as reported on the NYSE, which would have been received by the option holders had all in-the-money options been exercised as of that date. The total fair value of VMware stock options that vested during the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016 was $4 million. The intrinsic value of the options exercised during the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016 was $3 million. During the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016, $1 million in cash was received from the stock option exercises.

The tax benefit related to stock option expense was $1 million from the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016. As of October 28, 2016, there was $21 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.8 years.

Fair Value of VMware OptionsThe fair value of each option to acquire VMware Class A common stock granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted-average grant date fair value of VMware stock options can fluctuate from period to period primarily due to higher valued options assumed through business combinations with exercise prices lower than the fair market value of VMware’s stock on the date of grant.

For all equity awards granted, volatility is based on an analysis of historical stock prices and implied volatilities of VMware’s Class A common stock. The expected term is based on historical exercise patterns and post-vesting termination behavior, the term of the purchase period for grants made under VMware's employee stock purchase plan, or the weighted-average remaining term for options assumed in acquisitions. VMware’s expected dividend yield input was zero as it has not historically paid, nor expects in the future to pay, cash dividends on its common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on a U.S. Treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected term of the stock options.

There were no options granted during the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016.

As of October 28, 2016, restricted stock representing 22 million shares of VMware’s Class A common stock was outstanding, with an aggregate intrinsic value of $1,690 million based on VMware’s closing price as of October 28, 2016 as reported on the NYSE. The total fair value of VMware restricted stock awards that vested during the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016 was $20 million. As of October 28, 2016, there was $998 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to these awards expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.5 years.

NOTE 19REDEEMABLE SHARES

Awards under the Restated Plan and the 2013 Plan described in Note 18 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial StatementsCompany's stock incentive plans include certain rights that allow the holder to exercise a put feature for the underlying Class A or Class C Common Stock after a six-month holding period following the issuance of such common stock requiringthat requires the Company to purchase the stock at its fair market value. Accordingly, these awards and common stock are subject to reclassification from equity to temporary equity, and the Company determines the award amounts to be classified as temporary equity as follows:
For stock options to purchase Class C Common Stock subject to service requirements, the intrinsic value of the option is multiplied by the portion of the option for which services have been rendered. Upon exercise of the option, the amount in temporary equity represents the fair value of the Class C Common Stock.
For SARs, RSUs, and RSAs,stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), or shares of restricted common stock ("RSAs"), any of which stock award types are subject to service requirements, the fair value of the share is multiplied by the portion of the shareshares for which services have been rendered.
For share-based arrangements that are subject to the occurrence of a contingent event, those amounts are not reclassified to temporary equity until the contingency has been satisfied.
The amount of redeemable shares classified as temporary equity as of October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016November 3, 2017 was $187$362 million, and $106 million, respectively. As of October 28, 2016, the redeemable shareswhich consisted of 1.02.6 million issued and outstanding unrestricted common shares, 8.00.3 million RSUs, 2.70.1 million RSAs, and 36.015.3 million outstanding stock options. AsThe amount of January 29, 2016, the redeemable shares classified as temporary equity as of February 3, 2017 was $231 million, which consisted of 0.91.1 million issued and outstanding unrestricted common shares, 0.4 million RSUs, 0.1 million unvested restricted stock units,RSAs, and 18.613.7 million outstanding stock options.

NOTE 2019 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

With the closing of the EMC merger transaction on September 7, 2016 and the classification of Dell Services and DSG as discontinued operations during the nine months ended October 28, 2016, theThe Company now has three reportable segments that are based on the following business units: Client Solutions Group ("CSG"); Infrastructure Solutions Group ("ISG"); and VMware. The ISG segment represents the Company's previous Enterprise Solutions Group ("ESG") segment and EMC’s Information Storage segment. There was no change in the way Dell's legacy business results are allocated between the CSG and ESG (now referred to as ISG) segments as a result of the EMC merger transaction.

CSG includes sales to commercial and consumer customers of desktops, thin client products, and notebooks, as well as services and third-party software and peripherals that are closely tied to the sale of CSG hardware. ISG includes servers, networking, and storage, as well as services and third-party software and peripherals that are closely tied to the sale of ISG hardware. VMware includes a broad portfolio of virtualization technologies across three main product groups: software-defined data center; hybrid cloud computing; and end-user computing.

The reportable segments disclosed herein are based on information reviewed by the Company's management to evaluate the business segment results. The Company's measure of segment operating income for management reporting purposes excludes the impact of other businesses, purchase accounting, amortization of intangible assets, unallocated corporate transactions, severance and facility action costs, and transaction-related expenses. The Company does not allocate assets to the above reportable segments for internal reporting purposes.

We operate a diversified business model with the majority of our net revenue and operating income derived from commercial clients that consist of large enterprises, small and medium-sized businesses, and public sector customers. We have a large global presence with approximately 50% of our revenue generated by sales to customers outside of the United States during the first nine months of Fiscal 2017 and the first nine months of Fiscal 2016. We continue to view emerging markets, which include the vast majority of the world’s population, as a long-term growth opportunity. Accordingly, we continue to pursue the development of technology solutions that meet the needs of these markets.

Products and Services

We design, develop, manufacture, market, sell, and support a wide range of products and services. We are organized into the following business units, which are our reportable segments: Client Solutions Group,Group; Infrastructure Solutions Group,Group; and VMware. Due to our pending divestitures of Dell Services, Dell Software Group, and theDell EMC Enterprise Content Division, of EMC, the results of these businesses, as well as the related gains or losses on sale, have been excluded from this management's discussion and analysis for allthe relevant periods, presented, except as otherwise indicated.

Business Trends and Challenges

We are seeing an unprecedented rate of change in the IT industry. Organizations of all kinds are embracing digital technology to achieve their business objectives. Our vision is to be the essential infrastructure company and undisputed leader in end userend-user computing, data center infrastructure solutions, virtualization, Internet of Things ("IoT"), and cloud software that our customers continue to trust and rely on for their IT solutions.solutions and transformations. To further advance this vision, we recently unveiled a new IoT strategy, division, and an array of solutions to support IoT adoption for our customers. We accelerate results for our customers by enabling them to be more efficient, mobile, informed, and secure.  We continue to invest in R&D,research and development, sales, and other key areas of our business to deliver superior products and solutions capabilities and to drive execution of long-term profitablesustainable growth. We believe that our results will benefit from an integrated go-to-market strategy, including enhanced coordination among the family of Dell Technologies companies, and the result offrom our differentiated products and solutions capabilities. We intend to continue to execute on our business model and seek to balance liquidity, profitability, and growth to position our company for long-term success.

We are able to leverage our traditional strength in the PC market to offer solutions and services that provide higher valuehigher-value, recurring revenue streams. Given the macroeconomic environment and computingcurrent market trends, we expect that the demand environment will continue to be uneven and cyclical and that market competition incompetitive dynamics will continue to pressure our Client Solutions Group business will intensify.CSG business. However, we are committed to a long-term growth strategy that we believe will benefit from the consolidation trends that are occurring in our markets.

We expect that our Infrastructure Solutions GroupISG will continue to be adversely affectedimpacted by declines in the traditional storagechanging nature of the IT infrastructure market and server markets.competitive environment. Cloud-native applications are expected to continue as a primary growth driver in the infrastructure market as IT organizations increasingly become multi-cloud environments. We believe the complementary cloud solutions across our business, created through our combination with EMC, strongly position us to meet these demands for our customers who are increasingly looking to leverage cloud basedcloud-based computing. Further, we will be able to provide new and more robust storage and data center solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers. We also continue to be impacted by the emerging trends of enterprises deploying software-defined storage, hyper-converged, and modular solutions based on server-centric architectures. These trends have put pressure on our traditional storage offerings, and we are focused on rapidly developing new capabilities and solutions to reposition our storage portfolio. We have leading solutions in these categories through our Dell EMCISG and VMware data center offerings. In addition, through our research and development efforts, we will activelyexpect to develop new solutions in this rapidly changing industry that we believe will enable us to continue to provide superior solutions to our customers.

In ISG, we are also seeing increased interest in "as a service" flexible consumption models by our customers as they seek to build greater flexibility into their cost structures. We have introduced various financing and consumption models to meet our customers' needs.

During the first nine months of Fiscal 2018, we have experienced higher component costs which primarily impacted CSG and ISG. We expect this trend to moderate but continue into Fiscal 2019.

We manage our business on a U.S. dollar basis. However, we have a large global presence, generating approximately 50%half of our revenue by sales to customers outside of the United States during the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 20172018 and the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2016.2017. Our revenues, therefore, 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. OurThe percentage of our revenues generated in regions outside of the United States did not change substantially as a result of the EMC merger transaction.

EMC Merger Transaction

As described in Note 1 and Note 32 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report, on September 7, 2016, a merger subsidiary of Dell Technologies merged with and into EMC Corporation, with EMC Corporation surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Technologies.

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP product net revenue; non-GAAP services net revenue; non-GAAP net revenue; 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 from continuing operations; earnings before interest and other, net, taxes, depreciation and amortization, referred to as EBITDA; and adjusted EBITDA.
 
We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results allows management to better understand our consolidated financial performance from period to period and better project our future consolidated financial performance as forecasts are developed at a level of detail different from that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide our stakeholders with useful information to help them evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our 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 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 net revenue, non-GAAP services net revenue, non-GAAP net revenue, non-GAAP product gross margin, non-GAAP services gross margin, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP net income from continuing operations, as defined by us, exclude the impact of purchase accounting, amortization of intangible assets, transaction-related expenses, other corporate expenses and, for non-GAAP net income, an aggregate adjustment for income taxes. As the excluded items 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. 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. We encourage you to review the reconciliations in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. See the discussion below for more 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:

Impact of Purchase Accounting The impact of purchase accounting includes purchase accounting adjustments, related to the EMC merger transaction and the acquisition of Dell Inc. by Dell Technologies Inc. on October 29, 2013, referred to as the going-private transaction, recorded under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations. This guidance prescribes that the purchase price be allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of such assets and liabilities on the date of the transaction. Accordingly, all of the assets and liabilities acquired in the EMC merger transaction and the going-private transaction were accounted for and 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. The fair value adjustments primarily relate to deferred revenue, inventory, and property, plant, and equipment. The purchase accounting adjustments and related amortization of those adjustments are reflected in our GAAP results; however, we evaluate the operating results of the underlying businesses on a non-GAAP basis, after removing such adjustments. We believe that excluding the impact of purchase accounting provides results that are useful in understanding our current operating performance and provides more meaningful comparisons to our past operating performance.

Table of Contents


Amortization of Intangible Assets Amortization of intangible assets primarily consists of amortization of customer relationships, developed technology, and trade names. In connection with the EMC merger transaction and the going-private transaction, all of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of EMC and Dell, respectively, were accounted for and recognized at fair value on the transaction dates. Accordingly, for the periods presented, amortization of intangible assets 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. We exclude these charges for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures presented below to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.

Transaction-related ExpensesTransaction relatedTransaction-related expenses consistsconsist of acquisition, integration, and integrationdivestiture related charges whichcosts, and are expensed as incurred and consistincurred. These expenses primarily ofrepresent costs for legal, banking, consulting, and advisory services, as well as certain compensatory retention awards directly related to the EMC merger transaction and retention payments. In addition, duringrelated integration. During the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017, acquisition-relatedtransaction-related expenses includes $807 million in day one stock-based compensation charges primarily related to the acceleration of vesting of EMC stock options and related taxes incurred in connection with the EMC merger transaction. During the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017, substantially all transaction-related expenses relate to the EMC merger transaction. Although not material in the periods presented, we anticipate that integration costs will increase in the next twelve months, primarily as the result of the integration of processes and systems of the EMC acquired businesses.

Other Corporate Expenses — Other corporate expenses consists of severance, and facility action costs, and stock-based compensation expense associated with equity awards. Severance costs are primarily related to severance and benefits for employees terminated pursuant to cost savings initiatives, and stock-based compensation expense associated with equity awards. Although not materialinitiatives. Facility action costs included in the periods presented,third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2018 were $67 million and $175 million, respectively. We expect to incur these costs over the remainder of the year as we expect facility action costs to increase in the next twelve months due to our plancontinue to integrate owned and leased facilities and as we seek opportunities for operational efficiencies and cost savings. Other corporate expenses vary from period to period and are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of these events. Therefore, although we may incur these types of expenses in the future, we believe that eliminating these charges for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures presented below facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our 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. During the first nine months of Fiscal 2017, this categoryamount also includes tax charges of approximately $201 million, recorded during the first six months of Fiscal 2017, on previously untaxed earnings of a foreign subsidiary that will no longer be permanently reinvested as a result of the Dell Services and DSG divestitures. The tax effects are determined based on the tax jurisdictions where the above items were incurred. No similar tax charges on divestitures were recorded during the third quarter of Fiscal 2017.

In addition to the above measures, we also use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to provide additional information for evaluation of our 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, severance and facility actions, and stock-based compensation expense. We believe 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 non-GAAP measures presented above, 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’smanagement'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.

As a result of the EMC merger transaction completed on September 7, 2016 and its impact on the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2018, our results for the fiscal periods discussed below are not directly comparable.

Overview

During the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017,2018, our net revenue increased 28%21% and 9%36%, respectively,respectively. During the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2018, our non-GAAP net revenue increased 31%19% and 9%37%, respectively. The increase in net revenue and non-GAAP net revenue was attributable to an increase in revenue from the EMC acquired businesses, while revenue from our legacy businesses remained relatively unchanged.across all three business units. The EMC merger transaction had an impact on the mix of revenue contributed by our business units. CSG net revenue represented approximately 57%50% of our total net revenue during the third quarter of Fiscal 2017, and 65% of our total net revenue during and first nine months of Fiscal 2017.2018. In comparison, CSG net revenue representedcomprised a higher proportion of our revenue prior to the EMC merger transaction, comprising approximately 71% of our total net revenue for bothduring the third quarter and the first nine months of Fiscal 2016.2017, representing approximately 60% and 65% of our net revenue, respectively.

During the third quartersquarter of Fiscal 20172018 and Fiscal 2016,2017, our operating loss was $0.5 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. The decrease in our operating loss for the third quarter of Fiscal 2018 was attributable to an increase in revenue and $0.1 billion, respectively.gross margin, offset partially by an increase in operating expenses, all of which were driven by the timing of the EMC merger transaction. During the first nine months of Fiscal 20172018 and Fiscal 2016,2017, our operating loss was $1.6$3.0 billion and $0.5$1.6 billion, respectively. The increase in our operating loss for the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 20172018 was primarily attributable to an increase in purchase accounting adjustments and amortization of intangible assets and purchase accounting adjustments related to the EMC merger transaction, and an increase in compensation and benefits expense. The increases in operating expenses were partially offset by the favorable impact of gross marginincremental operating income from the EMC acquired businesses.

Our operating loss was impacted by purchase accounting adjustments associated with the EMC merger transaction and, to a lesser extent, the going-private transaction, amortization of intangible assets, costs related to acquisition, integration, and divestitures,transaction-related expenses, and other corporate expenses. In aggregate, these items totaled $2.5 billion and $7.7 billion for the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2018, respectively. In comparison, these items totaled $3.5 billion and $4.9 billion for the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017, respectively. Non-GAAPExcluding these adjustments, non-GAAP operating income increased 225% to $2.0 billionwas relatively unchanged during the third quarter of Fiscal 2017,2018 and 108%increased 45% to $3.3$4.7 billion during the first nine months of Fiscal 2017.2018. Non-GAAP operating income during the third quarter of Fiscal 2018 was relatively flat due to an increase in operating income for CSG and VMware, which was largely offset by a decrease in ISG operating income. The increasesincrease in non-GAAP operating income were primarily attributable to the favorable impact of operating income from the EMC acquired businesses of $1.2 billion in both periods. Infor the first nine months of Fiscal 2017, the2018 was attributable to an increase in non-GAAP operating income was also due to higher gross margin from our legacy businesses.across all three business units, but most significantly by VMware.

Cash provided by operating activities was $1.5$3.7 billion and $1.2$1.6 billion during the first nine months of Fiscal 20172018 and Fiscal 2016,2017, respectively. PositiveThe increase in operating cash flows in both periods were attributable to more profitable operations and to favorable changes in working capital resulting from extended payment terms with suppliers. Duringduring the first nine months of Fiscal 2017,2018 was driven by improved profitability, including the favorable effects of these factors were offset partially by cash used for transaction-related expenses. The terms of our supplier arrangements will evolve as we continue to integrate the businesses acquired throughincremental profitability from the EMC merger transaction.acquired businesses, and ongoing working capital initiatives. See "Market Conditions, Liquidity, and Capital Commitments" for further information on our cash flow metrics.

Net Revenue

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2017 and first nine months of Fiscal 2017, our net revenue increased 28% and 9%, respectively. Net revenue during both the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017 benefited from the impact of the net revenue from the EMC acquired businesses of approximately $3.9 billion, partially offset by purchase accounting adjustments of approximately $0.5 billion. An increase of 3% in CSG net revenue also contributed to higher net revenue in the third quarter, while CSG net revenue for the first nine months of Fiscal 2017 remained relatively unchanged. During the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017,2018, our non-GAAPnet revenue increased 31%21% and 9%36%, respectively, primarily due to an increase in revenue across all three business units. During the impact fromfirst nine months of Fiscal 2018, these increases were offset partially by an increase in purchase accounting adjustments as a result of the EMC acquired businesses.merger transaction. Our non-GAAP net revenue increased 19% and 37% during the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2018, respectively, primarily due to an increase in revenue across all three business units.

The increase in our total gross margin in dollars and percentages, and our total non-GAAP gross margin in dollars and percentages, during the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017 was primarily attributable to incremental gross margins dollars of approximately $2.7 billion from the EMC acquired businesses which had a combined gross margin above 60%. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2017, cost favorability in CSG also contributed to the improvement in total gross margin dollars and percentages, but to a lesser extent. The effects of these factors on total gross margin dollars and percentages in the Fiscal 2017 periods were partially offset by the impact of purchase accounting adjustments and amortization of intangibles as a result of the EMC merger transaction.

Our gross margin for the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2018 included the effect of $1.2 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively, of amortization of intangibles and purchase accounting adjustments related to the EMC merger transaction and, to a lesser extent, the going-private transaction. In comparison, the impact of purchase accounting and amortization of intangibles totaled $1.3 billion and $1.7 billion in the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017, respectively.

In the third quarter of Fiscal 2017, we entered into a settlement agreement with a vendor to resolve a dispute regarding past pricing practices. Our gross margin for the third quarter of Fiscal 2017 included a benefit of $80 million related to receipt of this settlement. Vendor settlements are allocated to our segments based on the relative amount of affected vendor products sold by each segment. The $80 million settlement benefit was entirely allocated to CSG. While this settlement does materially impact comparability of product gross margins for the third quarter, there is minimal impact to comparability for the first nine months due to the offsetting impact of a settlement recorded in the second quarter of Fiscal 2018 as discussed below in Vendor Programs and Settlements.

Vendor Programs and Settlements

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 third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 20172018 and Fiscal 20162017 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 vendor pricing or rebate programs that may impact our results in the near term.

In addition, we have pursued legal action against certain vendors and are currently involved in negotiations with other vendors regarding their past pricing practices. We have negotiated settlements with some of these vendors and may have additional settlements in future quarters.periods. These settlements are allocated to our segments based on the relative amount of affected vendor products usedsold by each segment. As discussed above,A pricing settlement was recorded in the second quarter of Fiscal 2018 that benefited product gross margins by $68 million, and it was entirely allocated to CSG. Additionally, a pricing settlement was recorded in the third quarter of Fiscal 2017 that benefited product gross margins by $80 million, inand was entirely allocated to CSG.

During the first nine months of Fiscal 2017,2018, changes in interest and other, net were unfavorable by $591$438 million and $762 million, respectively, primarily due to an increase in interest expense from higher average debt balances from debt issued in connection with the EMC merger transaction, andpartially offset by the decrease in other non-recurring expenses referred to approximately $245 million of other expenses related to debt extinguishment and new borrowings associated with that transaction.above. See Note 87 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for further information regarding our debt.

Income and Other Taxes

For the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2018 our effective income tax rates for continuing operations were 22.6% and 31.4%, respectively, on pre-tax losses from continuing operations of $1.2 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively. For the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017, our effective income tax rates for continuing operations were 29.0% and 21.1%, respectively, on pre-tax losses from continuing operations of $2.3 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively. In comparison,The changes in our effective income tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2016, our effective income tax rates for continuing operations2018 were 6.0% and 8.1% on pre-tax losses from continuing operations of $0.3 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. The change in our effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to tax benefits from charges incurred associated with the EMC merger transaction, including purchase accounting adjustments, interest charges, and stock basedstock-based compensation expenses. These benefits were partially off-set by a higher mix of operating income in higher-tax jurisdictions.expense. See Note 1 and Note 32 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information on the EMC merger transaction. The change in our effective income tax rate for the first nine months of Fiscal 2018 was also impacted by tax charges recognized in the prior year during the three and six months ended July 29, 2016 related to the divestiture of Dell Services and DSG. The income tax rate for future periodsquarters of Fiscal 2018 will be impacted by the actual mix of jurisdictions in which income is generated.

Our effective tax rate can fluctuate depending on the geographic distribution of our world-wide earnings, as our foreign earnings are generally taxed at lower rates than in the United States. In certain jurisdictions, our tax rate is significantly less than the applicable statutory rate as a result of tax holidays. The majority of our foreign income that is subject to these tax holidays and lower tax rates is attributable to Singapore, China, and Malaysia. A significant portion of these income tax benefits is relatedrelate to a tax holiday that will expire on December 31, 2016. We have negotiated new terms for the affected subsidiary, which provides for a reduced income tax rate that will be effective for a two-year bridge period expiringexpires in January

2019 through Fiscal 2023. Many of these tax holidays and reduced tax rates may be extended when certain conditions are met or may be terminated early if certain conditions are not met. The differences between our effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% principally resulted from the geographical distribution of taxable income discussed above and permanent differences between the book and tax treatment of certain items.  We continue to assess our business model and its impact in various taxing jurisdictions.

As noted in "Part I — Item 1A — Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2017, changes in tax law (including laws relating to U.S. taxes on foreign operations) could adversely affect our operations and profitability. Pending U.S. tax reform legislation would result in certain changes to U.S. tax laws, specifically U.S. taxation on earnings from international business operations and new restrictions on the deductibility of interest expense, which may materially impact our effective tax rate and the amount of taxes we pay. The ultimate impact of any proposed tax reform legislation will not be known until such legislation is finalized.

For further discussion regarding tax matters, including the status of income tax audits, see Note 13 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Subsequent to the third quarter of Fiscal 2017, on November 9, 2016, we effectively settled an Internal Revenue Service audit for fiscal years 2004 through 2006. The settlement amount payable to the Internal Revenue Service in early 2017 is approximately $545 million, and we expect to record an income tax benefit of approximately $300 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2017. However, we are currently evaluating the impact of the settlement on its unrecognized tax liabilities; therefore, the actual amount of tax benefit to be recorded in future quarters is still uncertain. See Note 13 and Note 22 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information about the settlement.

Net Income/Loss from Continuing Operations

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2018, net loss from continuing operations decreased 43% to a net loss of $0.9 billion, and during the first nine months of Fiscal 2017,2018 net loss from continuing operations increased 520%42% to a net loss of $1.6 billion and 132% to a net loss of $2.3 billion, respectively.$3.3 billion.

Net loss from continuing operations for the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 20172018 included amortization of intangible assets, the impact of purchase accounting, adjustments, costs related to acquisition, integration, and divestitures,transaction-related expenses, and other corporate expenses. Excluding these costs, non-GAAP net income from continuing operations increased 14% to $1.1 billion and 61% to $2.6 billion during the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017,2018, respectively.

Non-controlling Interests

We have non-controlling interests reflected in our consolidated financial statements, for the portions of equity of SecureWorks, VMware and Pivotal that are not owned by Dell Technologies, Inc. During the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017, the2018, net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest in SecureWorksinterests was $1$4 million and $2$85 million, respectively.

Net Revenue During the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017,2018, CSG net revenue increased 3%8% and 7%, respectively, driven by an increase in consumer net revenue, offset by a decrease in commercial net revenue . Commercial net revenue experienced a decrease in overall average selling prices that was partially mitigated by a shiftprice, as we managed our pricing in mixresponse to sales of more premium notebook and workstation units.

The decrease in commercial net revenue was attributable to an overall decrease in average selling prices, while demand was relatively unchanged. The increase in consumer net revenue was primarily driven by an increase in notebook units sold, partially offset by an overall decrease in average selling prices. Both commercial and consumer operations experienced an overall decline in average selling prices as we strategically managed our pricing position given the favorable cost environment.

Operating Income Operating During the third quarter of Fiscal 2018, CSG operating income as a percentage of net revenue attributable to CSG increased 260decreased 20 basis points to 6.9% during the third quarter of Fiscal 2017 and increased 220 basis points to 5.6%, during the first nine months of Fiscal 2017. These increases were driven by an increase6.7%. The decline in our gross margin percentage, whichoperating income was principally the result of a favorable cost position and a richer product mix of premium notebooks and workstations. The increase in our gross margin percentages also benefited fromattributable to an $80 million vendor pricing settlement received duringrecorded in the third quarter of Fiscal 2017, which resulted in an incremental benefit of 90 basis points and 30 basis points to our operating income percentage during the that period which did not recur. Removing the effect of this vendor settlement, CSG operating income increased 70 basis points during the third quarter of Fiscal 2018 due to increases in average selling prices as discussed above as well as favorability in our operating expense percentage as we continue to manage our cost position. Despite this increase, our operating income percentage was negatively impacted by increasing component costs. We expect that component cost increases will moderate but continue to be challenging into Fiscal 2019. We will continue to adjust our pricing practices as needed based upon a multitude of factors including the competitive environment and component costs.

During the first nine months of Fiscal 2018, CSG operating income remained unchanged at 5.6%. The increase in component costs was offset by favorability in our operating expense percentage as we continue to manage our cost position. The impact of the vendor settlements recorded in first nine months of Fiscal 2018 and Fiscal 2017 respectively.did not affect comparability for these periods.

Net Revenue During the third quarter of Fiscal 2017,2018, ISG net revenue increased 61% due to incremental net26% driven by revenue associated withgrowth in both product categories. Servers and networking revenue increased 32% during the EMC acquired storage business, which caused storage revenue to increase 462%. Thethird quarter of Fiscal 2018, primarily resulting from an increase in storage revenue was partially offset by an 8% decrease in revenue from servers and networking. The decline in revenue from servers and networking was primarily a result of a decline in salessale of PowerEdge units, due to evolving trends as customer demand shifts to cloud and hyperscale servers. The decline in servers and networking net revenue was also attributable to a decreasean increase in average selling prices of PowerEdge. Average selling prices increased as we managed our pricing in response to the current component cost environment, and also reflected the sale of servers with higher memory and storage content. Storage revenue increased 19% during the third quarter of Fiscal 2018 due to competitive pressures.the incremental revenue from the EMC acquired business, although we are experiencing reduced demand in ISG for certain elements of our storage portfolio, including high-end and traditional midrange storage offerings which are priced greater than $25,000. We are addressing this dynamic through investments in our go-to-market capability and product enhancements.

This year we introduced "as-a-service" flexible consumption models that are generally multi-year contracts which typically result in recognition of revenue over the term of the arrangement. We are seeing increased interest in these new models, which will further strengthen our customer relationships. We expect that the impact of these arrangements will vary from salesquarter to quarter and build over time, but overall the impact to revenue was not significant during the first nine months of cloud servers and other cloud products. The decrease in PowerEdge server units sold was attributable to evolving trends as customer demand shifts to cloud and hyperscale servers.Fiscal 2018.

From a geographical perspective, during the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017,2018, ISG net revenue increased in the all regions due to the incremental revenue from the EMC acquired storage business. The EMC acquired storage business operates on a world-wide basis with a geographic mix similar to that of the legacy Dell ISG business.

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 $8.8$9.2 billion and $4.9$9.4 billion as of October 28, 2016November 3, 2017 and January 29, 2016,February 3, 2017, respectively. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to cover receivables that may be deemed uncollectible. The allowance for losses is based on a provision for accounts that are collectively evaluated based on historical bad debt experience as well as specific identifiable customer accounts that are deemed at risk. As of October 28, 2016November 3, 2017 and January 29, 2016,February 3, 2017, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $50$80 million and $36$57 million, respectively. Based on our assessment, we believe that we are adequately reserved for expected credit losses. We monitor the aging of our accounts receivable and continue to take actions to reduce our exposure to credit losses.

Dell Financial Services and Financing Receivables

Dell Financial Services, referred to as DFS, offers a wide range of financial services, including originating, collecting, and servicing customer receivables primarily related to the purchase of Dell products. Following the closing of the EMC merger transaction, DFS began offering similar financial services related to the purchase of Dell EMC and VMware products. In some cases, we originate financing activities for our commercial customers related to the purchase of third-party technology products that complement our portfolio of products and services. New financing originations, which represent the amounts of financing provided by DFS to customers for equipment and related software and services, including originations of third-party originations,technology products, were $1.6 billion and $1.1 billion and $0.9 billion for the third quarter of Fiscal 20172018 and Fiscal 2016,2017, respectively, and $3.0$4.3 billion and $2.8$3.0 billion for the first nine months of Fiscal 20172018 and Fiscal 2016,2017, respectively. As of October 28, 2016November 3, 2017 and January 29, 2016,February 3, 2017, our financing receivables, net were $5.4$7.0 billion and $5.1$5.9 billion, respectively.

We have securitization programs to fund revolving loans and fixed-term leases and loans through consolidated special purpose entities, referred to as SPEs, which we account for as secured borrowings. We transfer certain U.S. and European customer financing receivables to these SPEs, whose purpose is to facilitate the funding of customer receivables through financing arrangements with multi-seller conduits that issue asset-backed debt securities in the capital markets and to private investors. During the third quartersquarter of Fiscal 20172018 and Fiscal 2016,2017, we transferred $1.0 billion and $0.6 billion, and $0.7 billionrespectively, to these SPEs, respectively, and during the first nine months of Fiscal 20172018 and Fiscal 2016,2017, we transferred $2.9 billion and $2.0 billion, and $2.5 billion, respectively.respectively, to the SPEs. The structured financing debt related to all of our securitization programs included as secured borrowing was $2.8$3.9 billion and $3.1 billion as of both October 28, 2016November 3, 2017 and January 29, 2016.February 3, 2017, respectively. In addition, the carrying amount of the corresponding financing receivables was $3.3$4.4 billion and $3.6 billion as of both October 28, 2016November 3, 2017 and January 29, 2016.February 3, 2017, respectively. As a result of the EMC merger transaction, we plan to expandare expanding our existing securitization programs to allow for additional funding of customer receivables in the capital markets.
We maintain an allowance to cover expected financing receivable credit losses and evaluate credit loss expectations based on our total portfolio. For the third quartersquarter of Fiscal 20172018 and Fiscal 2016,2017, the principal charge-off rate for our total portfolio was 2.2%1.5% and 2.0%2.1%, respectively. For the first nine months of Fiscal 20172018 and Fiscal 2016,2017, the principal charge-off rate for our total portfolio was 2.1%1.6% and 2.5%2.1%, respectively. The creditdecreases in our total portfolio charge-off rates were attributable to growth in our fixed-term, high quality of our financing receivables has improved in recent years due to an overall improvementcommercial accounts, which generally have lower charge-off rates. This growth in the credit environment andportfolio resulted from the expansion of commercial originations, subsequent to the EMC merger transaction. We expect that principal charge-off rates will continue to trend favorably over the coming year as the mixDFS expands its volume of high-quality commercial accounts in our portfolio has increased.originations. The allowance for losses is determined based on variousseveral factors, including historical and anticipated experience, past due receivables, receivable type, and customer risk profile. At October 28, 2016November 3, 2017 and January 29, 2016,February 3, 2017, the allowance for financing receivable losses was $146$131 million and $176$143 million, respectively. In general, the loss rates on our financing receivables have improved over the periods presented.  We expect relatively stable loss rates in future periods, with movements in these rates being primarily driven by seasonality and a continued shift in portfolio composition to lower risk commercial assets. We continue to monitor broader economic indicators and their potential impact on future loss performance. We have an extensive process to manage our exposure to customer credit risk, including active management of credit lines and our collection activities. We also sell selected fixed-term financing receivables 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.
See Note 76 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our financing receivables and the associated allowance.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue is recorded when billings have been generated or payments have been received for undelivered products or services, or in situations where revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Deferred revenue represents amounts received in advance for extended warranty services, deferred hardware, software maintenance, unearned license fees, whichand deferred profit on third-party software offerings. Deferred revenue is recognized on these items when the revenue recognition criteria are recognized ratablymet, generally resulting in ratable recognition over the contract term as either product or services revenue depending on the nature of the item, and deferred professional services.term. We also have deferred revenue related to internally-developed software offerings,undelivered hardware and deferred profit on third-party software offerings,professional services, consisting of installations and consulting engagements, which are generally recognized ratably overas our obligations under the contract term as either product or services revenue depending on the nature of the item.are completed.

Our total deferred revenue was $17.1$20.1 billion and $7.7$18.7 billion as of October 28, 2016November 3, 2017 and January 29, 2016, respectively, and increased $9.4 billion, or 122%, over that period. This increase was primarily attributable to the deferred revenue assumed in the EMC merger transaction, which was recorded at its fair value of $8.4 billion.February 3, 2017, respectively. A majority of our deferred revenue as of October 28, 2016November 3, 2017 is expected to be recognized over the next two years. See Note 1 and Note 3 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information on the EMC merger transaction.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of October 28, 2016,November 3, 2017, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

MARKET CONDITIONS, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

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 rating agencies and changes in market credit default swap levels. We perform periodic evaluations of our positions with these counterparties and may limit exposure to any one counterparty in accordance with our policies. We monitor and manage these activities depending 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 98 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information about our use of derivative instruments.

We are exposed to interest rate risk related to our variable-rate debt and investment 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. As a result, we do not anticipate any material losses from interest rate risk.

The impact on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report of any credit adjustments related to our use of counterparties on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report has been immaterial.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To support our ongoing business operations, we rely on operating cash flows as our primary source of liquidity. We monitor the efficiency of our balance sheet to ensure that we have adequate liquidity to support our 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, as evidenced by our actions to raise capital for the EMC merger transaction. We have undertaken strategic divestitures, some of which were completed subsequent to the close of our third quarter of Fiscal 2017. We used the net proceeds from those divestitures to pay down a portion of the EMC merger transaction financing. For more information on repayment of this debt, see Note 22 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.operations. As of October 28, 2016,November 3, 2017, we had $8.8$11.7 billion of total cash and cash equivalents, athe majority of which was held outside of the United States. 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 made available $3.0 billion of cash on hand from legacy Dell entities and $4.8 billion of cash on hand from legacy EMC entities to consummate the EMC merger transaction, some of which was repatriated from foreign jurisdictions.  We did not incur material tax or other material costs as a result of the repatriation.

A significant portion of our income is earned in non-U.S. jurisdictions. Under current law, earnings available to be repatriated to the United States would be subject to U.S. federal income tax, less applicable foreign tax credits. We have provided for the U.S. federal tax liability on these amounts for financial statement purposes, except for foreign earnings that are considered permanently reinvested outside of the United States. We utilize a variety of tax planning and financing strategies with the objective of having our worldwide cash available in the locations where it is needed.

The Revolving Credit Facility hasand China Revolving Credit Facility have combined maximum aggregate borrowings of approximately $3.2$3.8 billion. Available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilitythese facilities are reduced by draws on the facility as well asand, under the Revolving Credit Facility, outstanding letters of credit. As of October 28, 2016,November 3, 2017, there were no borrowings outstanding under either facility and remaining available borrowings under this facility totaled approximately $1.6$3.8 billion. These available borrowings may be used periodically for general corporate purposes.

The VMware Revolving Credit Facility and Pivotal Revolving Credit Facility have maximum aggregate borrowings of $1.0 billion and $100 million, respectively. None of the net proceeds of such borrowings will be made available to support the operations or satisfy any corporate purposes of Dell Technologies, other than the operations and corporate purposes of VMware, Inc., Pivotal, and their respective subsidiaries.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, along with cash that will be provided by future operations and borrowings expected to be available under the Revolving Credit Facility and China Revolving Credit Facility, will be sufficient over at least the next twelve months to fund our operations, capital expenditures, share repurchases, and debt service requirements, and other corporate needs.

To finance the EMC merger transaction, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $45.9 billion in new debt, which included proceeds from the sale of the First Lien Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes, as well as borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (including the Revolving Credit Facility), the Asset Sale Bridge Facility, the Margin Bridge Facility, and the VMware Bridge Facility at the closing of the transaction. Additionally, as ofon September 7, 2016, EMC had outstanding approximatelysenior notes (the "EMC Notes") consisting of $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of its 1.875% Notes due June 2018, approximately $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 2.650% Notes due June 2020 and approximately $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 3.375% Notes due June 2023, referred to collectively, the EMC Notes.2023. The EMC Notes remain outstanding following the closing of the EMC merger transaction.

TableDuring the nine months ended November 3, 2017, we completed two refinancing transactions of Contents
the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. In the first refinancing transaction, which occurred during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018, we refinanced the Term Loan B Facility to reduce the interest rate margin by 0.75% and to increase the outstanding principal amount by $0.5 billion. We applied the proceeds from the Term Loan B Facility refinancing to repay $0.5 billion principal amount of the Margin Bridge Facility. Additionally, during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018, we entered into the Margin Loan Facility in the principal amount of $2.0 billion, and used the proceeds of the new facility to repay the Margin Bridge Facility.

UponIn the closingsecond refinancing transaction, which occurred during the third quarter of Fiscal 2018, we refinanced the EMC merger transaction, we repaid and terminated the ABL CreditTerm Loan A-2 Facility, Term Loan A-3 Facility, Term Loan B Facility, and the Revolving Credit Facility. As a result of the refinancing, the interest rate margin under each of these facilities decreased 0.50% and the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facilities obtained in connection withA-2 Facility increased by $672 million, which was used to pay $212 million principal amount of the going-private transactionTerm Loan A-3 Facility and redeemed$460 million of principal amount of the Senior First Lien Notes issued in connection withTerm Loan B Facility, as well as related fees and expenses. Further, the going-private transaction. Further, duringRevolving Credit Facility's borrowing capacity increased by $180 million to $3.3 billion.

During the first nine months of Fiscal 2017, we2018, the Company repaid approximately $0.9 billion principal amount of its term loan facilities and $0.4 billion of maturing Unsecured Notes and Debentures and $0.5 billion ofunder the Revolving Credit Facility obtainedand issued an additional $0.9 billion, net, in connectionstructured financing debt to support the expansion of its financing receivables portfolio.

Further, during the third quarter of Fiscal 2018, VMware, Inc. completed a public offering of senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $4.0 billion (the "VMware Notes"). VMware, Inc. used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repay certain intercompany promissory notes previously issued by it to EMC in the aggregate principal amount of $1.2 billion. We applied the proceeds of this repayment, and other cash, to repay $1.5 billion principal amount of the VMware Note Bridge Facility, without premium or penalty. VMware, Inc. has disclosed that it intends to use the remaining net proceeds of the debt issuance to fund additional repurchases of up to $1.0 billion of its Class A common stock over the next 12 months, and for general VMware, Inc. corporate purposes, including mergers and acquisitions and repaying other indebtedness.

VMware, Inc. and its subsidiaries are unrestricted subsidiaries for purposes of the existing debt of Dell Technologies.  Neither Dell Technologies nor any of its subsidiaries, other than VMware, Inc., is obligated to make payment on the VMware Notes.  None of the net proceeds of the VMware Notes will be made available to support the operations or satisfy any corporate purposes of Dell Technologies, other than the operations and corporate purposes of VMware, Inc. and VMware, Inc.’s subsidiaries.

We balance the use of our securitization programs with working capital and other sources of liquidity to fund growth in DFS. Of the EMC merger transaction.$52.5 billion in outstanding principal debt as of November 3, 2017, $6.1 billion, which includes $4.3 billion in structured financing debt, is used to fund this business.

Our requirements for cash to pay principal and interest have increased significantly due to the borrowings that were required to finance the EMC merger transaction. We expect the increased cash flows from the combined businesses will be sufficient to meet these requirements. We or our affiliates, at our or their sole discretion, may purchase, redeem, prepay, refinance, or otherwise retire our outstanding indebtedness under the terms of such indebtedness at any time and from time to time, in open market or negotiated transactions with the holders of such indebtedness, or otherwise.as appropriate market conditions exist.

We balance the use of our securitization programs with working capital and other sources of liquidity to fund growth in our global financial services business. Of the $56.8 billion in outstanding principal debt as of October 28, 2016, $4.8 billion, which includes $3.4 billion in structured financing debt, is used to fund this business.

The increase in operating cash flows during the first nine months of Fiscal 2018 was driven by improved profitability, including the incremental profitability from the EMC acquired businesses, and ongoing working capital initiatives. Further, cash paid for transaction costs during the first nine months of Fiscal 2017 anddid not recur in Fiscal 2016, respectively. Strong2018. The increase in operating cash flows in both periods were attributable to more profitable operations and to favorable changes in working capital resulting from extending payment terms with suppliers.

Key Performance Metrics

We previously presented ourOur key performance metrics are net revenue, operating income, adjusted EBITDA, cash flows from operations, and cash conversion cycle. Net revenue, operating income, adjusted EBITDA, and cash flows from operations are discussed elsewhere in this report. Our cash conversion cycle metric on a basis which included our discontinued businesses. However, since we completed the Dell Services and DSG divestitures subsequent to the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2017, we believe that a cash conversion cycle metric which excludes our discontinued operations provides a better indication of our cash conversion cycle and is a better basis for evaluating our potential future cash operations. Accordingly, we have derived the components of our cash conversion cycle for the periods presented below using balances and results of operations which exclude Dell Services, DSG, and ECD.below.

Cash Conversion Cycle

The following table presents the components of our cash conversion cycle for the periods presented:

__________________
(a)Days of sales outstanding, referred to as DSO, calculates the average collection period of our receivables. DSO is based on the ending net trade receivables and the most recent quarterly non-GAAP net revenue for each period. DSO also includes the effect of product costs related to customer shipments not yet recognized as revenue that are classified in other current assets.assets, as we believe this provides a more relevant metric that aligns with actual sales activity in the quarter, regardless of revenue recognition under GAAP. DSO is calculated by adding accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, and customer shipments in transit and dividing that sum by average non-GAAP net revenue per day for the current quarter (90 days for all fiscal quarters presented herein)the three months ended November 3, 2017 and October 28, 2016). AtAs of November 3, 2017, DSO and days of customer shipments not yet recognized were 42 and 4 days, respectively. As of October 28, 2016, DSO and days of customer shipments not yet recognized were 47 and 5 days, respectively. At October 30, 2015, DSO and days of customer shipments not yet recognized were 37 and 5 days, respectively.
(b)Days of supply in inventory, referred to as DSI, measures the average number of days from procurement to sale of our products. DSI is based on ending inventory adjusted to exclude purchase accounting adjustments and non-GAAP cost of goods sold for each period. DSI is calculated by dividing ending inventory by average non-GAAP cost of goods sold per day for the current quarter (90 days for all fiscal quarters presented herein)the three months ended November 3, 2017 and October 28, 2016).
(c)Days in accounts payable, referred to as DPO, calculates the average number of days our payables remain outstanding before payment. DPO is based on ending accounts payable and non-GAAP cost of goods sold for each period. DPO is calculated by dividing accounts payable by average non-GAAP cost of goods sold per day for the current quarter (90 days for all fiscal quarters presented herein)the three months ended November 3, 2017 and October 28, 2016).
(d)We calculate our cash conversion cycle using non-GAAP net revenue and non-GAAP cost of goods sold because we believe that excluding certain items from the GAAP results facilitates management's understanding of this key performance metric.

For the three months ended October 28, 2016, changesNovember 3, 2017, the change in our cash conversion cycle were unfavorablewas favorable by sixteen9 days when compared to the three months ended October 30, 2015. This was primarily driven by a ten day increase in28, 2016. DSO and a ten day increaseDSI both improved 6 days in DSI. DSO, DSI, and DPO were all impactedpart due to varying degreescontinued integration of our operations with EMC. Also, the comparison to the prior period was affected by the timing of the EMC merger transaction. DSO and DSI for the three months ended October 28, 2016 were both negatively impacted by the timing of that transaction as we assumed all of EMC's accounts receivable inventory, and accounts payable,inventory, but only included the portion of EMC's revenue and cost of goods sold for the period from September 7, 2016 to October 28, 2016. This timing impact was the primary driver for the increase in DSO.

The increase in DSI was primarily due to our acquisition of EMC and the longer inventory cycle associated with the acquired product lines. The increasesimprovement in DSO and DSI werewas partially offset by a four day increasean unfavorable change in DPO. The unfavorable change in DPO which was primarily attributable to a benefit in the resultprior year driven by the timing dynamic discussed above, as we assumed all of extendedEMC's accounts payable, but only included the portion of EMC's cost of goods sold for the period from September 7, 2016 to October 28, 2016. This unfavorable change in DPO for the three months ended November 3, 2017 was offset partially by alignment of supplier payment terms partially offset by the timingas part of the EMC merger transaction. ongoing integration efforts.

We believe our business model allows us to maintain an efficient cash conversion cycle, which compares favorably with that of others in our industry.

Capital Commitments

Capital Expenditures— During the first nine months of Fiscal 20172018 and Fiscal 2016,2017, we spent $417$902 million and $340$417 million, respectively, on property, plant, and equipment, which included $104 million and $85 million, respectively, attributable to discontinued operations.equipment. These expenditures were primarily incurred in connection with our global expansion efforts and infrastructure investments made to support future growth. Product demand, product mix, and the increased use of contract manufacturers, as well as ongoing investments in operating and information technology infrastructure, influence the level and prioritization of our capital expenditures. Aggregate capital expenditures for Fiscal 2017,2018, which will be primarily related to infrastructure investments and strategic initiatives, are currently expected to total approximately $0.5$1.2 billion.

Share Repurchase ProgramClass V Common Stock Repurchases On September 7,December 13, 2016, ourthe board of directors approved a stock repurchase program under which we arewere authorized to use assets of the DHIClass V Group to repurchase up to $1.0 billion$500 million of shares of Class V Common Stock over a period of six months. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2018, we repurchased 1.3 million shares of Class V Common Stock for $82 million pursuant to this initial authorization. A total of 8.4 million shares have been repurchased under this program.

On March 27, 2017 and August 18, 2017, the board of directors approved two amendments of the Class V Group Repurchase Program (the "March 2017 Class V Group Repurchase Program" and the “August 2017 Class V Group Repurchase Program,” respectively) which, when combined, authorized us to use assets of the Class V Group to repurchase up to an additional $600 million of shares of Class V Common Stock over additional six month periods from the respective board approval dates.

On March 29, 2017 and August 23, 2017, we entered into two new stock purchase agreements with VMware, Inc. (the "March 2017 Stock Purchase Agreement" and the "August 2017 Stock Purchase Agreement," respectively), pursuant to which VMware, Inc. agreed to repurchase for cash a two-year period. Duringtotal of $600 million of shares of VMware, Inc. Class A common stock from a subsidiary of Dell Technologies. VMware, Inc. repurchased approximately 6.1 million shares of Class A common stock (consisting of 3.4 million shares pursuant to the three months ended October 28, 2016, we repurchased $165March 2017 Stock Purchase Agreement and 2.7 million shares pursuant to the August 2017 Stock Purchase Agreement). We applied the proceeds of the sales to the repurchase of shares of the Class V Common Stock under the program. At October 28, 2016, our remainingMarch 2017 and August 2017 Class V Group Repurchase Programs described above. As of November 3, 2017, the sale transactions under the March 2017 and August 2017 Stock Purchase Agreements were completed. The purchase prices of the 3.4 million shares and 2.7 million shares repurchased by VMware, Inc. were each based on separate volume-weighted average per share prices of the Class A common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange during separate specified reference periods, less a discount of 3.5% from the respective volume-weighted average per share price.

During the three and nine months ended November 3, 2017, VMware, Inc. repurchased 5.1 million shares of Class A common stock in the open market for $555 million.

As of November 3, 2017, the cumulative authorized amount remaining for share repurchases underby VMware, Inc. was $1,045 million, which represents the program was $835$2.2 billion authorized since January 2017, less the cumulative Class A common stock repurchases from a subsidiary of Dell Technologies of $600 million, and less the cumulative Class A common stock repurchases in the open market of $555 million.

In April 2016, VMware's board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.2 billion of VMware's Class A common stock through the end of 2016. All shares repurchased under VMware's stock repurchase programs are retired. During the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016, VMware repurchased $611 million in shares of its Class A common stock. The authorized amount for repurchases of VMware Class A common stock was entirely utilized as of October 28, 2016.

We are unable to reliably estimate the expected payment dates for any remaining liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

Principal Payments on Borrowings Our expected principal cash payments on borrowings are exclusive of discounts and premiums. We have outstanding long-term notes with varying maturities. As of October 28, 2016, the future principal payments related to structured financing debt were expected to be $0.6 billion in Fiscal 2017 (remaining three months), $2.7 billion in Fiscal 2018-2019, and $0.2 billion thereafter.

Interest See Note 8 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for further discussion of our debt and related interest expense.

Purchase Obligations  Purchase obligations are defined as contractual obligations to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on us. These obligations 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 do not include contracts that may be canceled without penalty.

We utilize several suppliers to manufacture sub-assemblies for our products. Our efficient supply chain management allows us to enter into flexible and mutually beneficial purchase arrangements with our suppliers in order to minimize inventory risk. Consistent with industry practice, we acquire raw materials or other goods and services, including product components, by issuing to suppliers authorizations to purchase based on our projected demand and manufacturing needs. These purchase orders are typically fulfilled within 30 days and are entered into during the ordinary course of business in order to establish best pricing and continuity of supply for our production. Purchase orders are not included in the table abovepurchase obligations as they typically represent our authorization to purchase rather than binding purchase obligations.

Operating Leases We lease propertyAs of November 3, 2017, we had $3.1 billion, $0.3 billion, and equipment, manufacturing facilities,$0.5 billion in purchase obligations for Fiscal 2018 (remaining three months), Fiscal 2019, and office space under non-cancelable leases.

ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Dell Technologies is exposedFor quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting us, see "Part II — Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2017. Our exposure to a variety of market risks including risks associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate changes affecting its variable-rate debt, and changeshas not changed materially from that set forth in the market value of investments. In the normal course of business, Dell Technologies employs established policies and procedures to manage these risks.
Foreign Currency Riskour Annual Report.

During the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017, the principal foreign currencies in which Dell Technologies transacted business were the Euro, Chinese Renminbi, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, and Australian Dollar. The objective of Dell Technologies in managing its exposures to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations is to reduce the impact of adverse fluctuations associated with foreign currency exchange rate changes on earnings and cash flows. Accordingly, Dell Technologies utilizes foreign currency option contracts and forward contracts to hedge its exposure on forecasted transactions and firm commitments for certain currencies. Dell Technologies monitors its foreign currency exchange exposures to ensure the overall effectiveness of its foreign currency hedge positions. However, there can be no assurance that the foreign currency hedging activities will continue to substantially offset the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates on the results of operations and financial position in the future.
As of October 28, 2016, based on the outstanding foreign currency hedge instruments of Dell Technologies, which include designated and non-designated instruments, there was a maximum potential one-day loss at a 95% confidence level in fair value of approximately $27.5 million using a Value-at-Risk, referred to as VAR, model. By using market implied rates and incorporating volatility and correlation among the currencies of a portfolio, the VAR model simulates 10,000 randomly generated market prices and calculates the difference between the fifth percentile and the average as the Value-at-Risk. The VAR model is a risk estimation tool and is not intended to represent actual losses in fair value that could be incurred. Additionally, as Dell Technologies utilizes foreign currency instruments for hedging forecasted and firmly committed transactions, a loss in fair value for those instruments is generally offset by increases in the value of the underlying exposure.

Interest Rate Risk

Dell Technologies is primarily exposed to interest rate risk related to its variable-rate debt and investment portfolio.

As of October 28, 2016, Dell Technologies had $15.9 billion of outstanding borrowings under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities and $4.0 billion of outstanding borrowings under its Margin Bridge Facility and VMware Note Bridge Facility. Amounts outstanding under these facilities generally bear interest at variable rates equal to applicable margins plus specified base rates or LIBOR-based rates. For information about this debt, see Note 8 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. Accordingly, Dell Technologies is exposed to market risk based on fluctuations in interest rates on borrowings under the facilities. As of October 28, 2016, outstanding borrowings under the facilities accrued interest at an annual rate between 2.39% and 4.00%. Based on this variable-rate debt outstanding as of October 28, 2016, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have resulted in an increase of approximately $188 million in annual interest expense.

As of October 28, 2016, Dell Technologies had $3.4 billion of outstanding structured financing debt that accrued interest at variable rates. For information about this debt, see Note 7 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. Dell Technologies mitigates the interest rate risk related to its structured financing debt through the use of interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in cash flows related to the interest rate payments on such debt.

We maintain an investment portfolio consisting of debt and equity securities of various types and maturities which is exposed to interest rate risk. The investments are classified as available-for-sale and are all denominated in U.S. dollars. These securities are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at market value, with any unrealized gain or temporary non-credit related loss recorded in other comprehensive loss. These instruments are not leveraged and are not held for trading purposes. Dell Technologies mitigates the risks related to its investment portfolio by investing primarily in high-quality credit securities, limiting the amount that can be invested in any single issuer and investing in short-to-intermediate-term investments. As of October 28, 2016, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would have resulted in an $85 million impact on the fair value of this portfolio.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure 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, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

On September 7, 2016, we completed our acquisition by merger of EMC Corporation as described elsewhere in this report. Revenues of approximately $3.6 billion and net loss of approximately $0.6 billion attributable to EMC were included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016.
We continue to integrate policies, processes, people, technology, and operations relating to this transaction, and will continue to evaluate the impact of any related changes to our internal control over financial reporting. Except for any changes in our internal control over financial reporting related to the integration of EMC, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the thirdfiscal quarter of Fiscalended November 3, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Our financial performance is affected by the financial performance of VMware.
Because we consolidate the financial results of VMware, Inc., or VMware, in our results of operations, our financial performance is affected by the financial performance of VMware. VMware's financial performance may be affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
fluctuations in demand, adoption rates, sales cycles (which have been increasing in length) and pricing levels for VMware's products and services;
changes in customers' budgets for information technology purchases and in the timing of its purchasing decisions;
the timing of recognizing revenues in any given quarter, which can be affected by a number of factors, including product announcements, beta programs and product promotions that can cause revenue recognition of certain orders to be deferred until future products to which customers are entitled become available;
the timing of announcements or releases of new or upgraded products and services by VMware or by its competitors;
the timing and size of business realignment plans and restructuring charges;
VMware's ability to maintain scalable internal systems for reporting, order processing, license fulfillment, product delivery, purchasing, billing and general accounting, among other functions;
VMware's ability to control costs, including its operating expenses;
credit risks of VMware's distributors, who account for a significant portion of VMware’s product revenues and accounts receivable;
seasonal factors, such as the end of fiscal period budget expenditures by VMware's customers and the timing of holiday and vacation periods;
renewal rates and the amounts of the renewals for enterprise agreements, as the original terms of such agreements expire;
the timing and amount of software development costs that may be capitalized;
unplanned events that could affect market perception of the quality or cost-effectiveness of VMware's products and solutions; and
VMware's ability to predict accurately the degree to which customers will elect to purchase its subscription-based offerings in place of licenses to its on-premises offerings.

Dell Technologies' pension plan assets are subject to market volatility.

Through the EMC merger transaction, Dell Technologies assumed a noncontributory defined pension plan, originally part of the EMC legacy acquisition of Data General. The plan’s assets are invested in common stocks, bonds, and cash. The expected long-term rate of return on the plan's assets was 6.50%. This rate represents the average of the expected long-term rates of return weighted by the plan's assets as of December 31, 2015. As market conditions permit, we expect to continue to shift the asset allocation to lower the percentage of investments in equities and increase the percentage of investments in long-duration fixed-income securities. The effect of such a change could result in a reduction in the long-term rate of return on plan assets and an increase in future pension expense. As of December 31, 2015, the ten-year historical rate of return on plan assets was 6.45%, and the inception-to-date return on plan assets was 6.46%. In 2015, the legacy EMC business experienced a 2.42% loss on plan assets. Should we not achieve the expected rate of return on the plan's assets or if the plan experiences a decline in the fair value of its assets, we may be required to contribute assets to the plan, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

The risks described in theour Annual Report on Form S-4 proxy statement/prospectus10-K and other risks described aboveour subsequent SEC reports are not the only risks facing us.  There are additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial that also may also materially adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition, or operating results.prospects.

Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012

Set forth below is a description of matters reported by us pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 and Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act. Concurrently with the filing of this quarterly report, we are filing a notice pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act that such matters have been disclosed in this quarterly report.

Since January 30, 2016, which was the beginning of Fiscal 2017, we engaged in three sales transactions reportable by us. In February 2016 and June 2016, we sold Dell desktop computers, computer stands, and a server, and associated warranty support, to the Embassy of the Government of Iran located in Germany. In June 2016, we sold Dell desktop computers and computer stands, and associated warranty support, to the Embassy of the Government of Iran located in France. We received total net revenue of approximately 4,998 Euros and realized net profits of approximately 1,231 Euros from the three sales (approximately $5,595 and $1,372, respectively, at the exchange rates for U.S. dollars at the date of the sale transactions). During Fiscal 2017, we provided product warranty support with those sales and under service warranty agreements related to Dell desktop computers and servers we sold in 13 transactions before Fiscal 2017 to the Embassies of the Government of Iran located in France, the Netherlands, and Italy. All of the foregoing warranty support was purchased at the time of the sale transactions, and we did not receive any additional payment for our performance of warranty support services.
