Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Leases In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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 requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The guidance also makes some changes to lessor accounting and requires additional disclosures about all leasing arrangements.  The Company will adopt this standard for the fiscal year beginning February 2, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In the area of lessee accounting, the Company anticipates that the most significant change will be recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. In the area of lessor accounting, the Company anticipates that the most significant change will be an increase in originations of operating leases due to elimination of the third-party residual value guarantee insurance in the sales-type lease test.

(unaudited)



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 December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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. The 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.

Recently IssuedAdopted Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB")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 substantially 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, Concurrently, the FASB approvedissued guidance on the accounting for costs to fulfill or obtain a one-year deferral ofcustomer contract. The Company adopted these standards during the effective date of this standard. Public entities are requiredthree months ended May 4, 2018 using the full retrospective method, which requires the Company to adopt the new standard for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively torecast each prior period presented (full retrospective method) or retrospectivelyconsistent with the cumulative effectnew guidance. See tables provided below which present the impact of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of 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 financial and system impacts that the new standard will have onaccounting standards to the Company's previously reported financial results. See also Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements the Company expects that unearned license revenuefor a summary of significant policies related to the sale of software licenses and related deliverables will decline upon adoption. Currently, the Company defers revenue for certain software arrangements due to the absence of vendor 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 Company expects the new standard to have an impact in the way the transaction price is allocated for certain non-standard warranties. The new standard is expected to result in more of the aggregate transaction price related to the non-standard warranty being recorded as revenue upon delivery of 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 continues to make progress in assessing the impacts of the standard on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and will continue to evaluate the impact of any changes to the standard or interpretations should they become available.standards.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities In January 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on Recognition and Measurementthat generally requires changes in the fair value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard addresses certain aspectsequity investments, other than those accounted for under the equity method, to be recognized through net income, rather than other comprehensive income. For equity investments without readily determinable fair values, the Company is no longer permitted to use the cost method of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017.accounting. The Company does not expect thathas elected to apply the standard will havemeasurement alternative for those investments. Under the alternative, the Company measures investments without readily determinable fair values at cost, less impairment, adjusted by observable price changes on a material impact onprospective basis. The Company must make a separate election to use the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on the accountingalternative for leasing transactions. The primary objective of this updateeach eligible investment, and is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements.  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 approachreassess at each reporting period whether an investment qualifies 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 Condensed 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, including the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification of cash flows.alternative. The Company adopted this guidancestandard during the three months ended May 5, 2017.

The adoption of the amended guidance did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The prospective impact of the new standard will depend on the Company's stockrelative changes in market price at the vesting or exercise dates of the awards and the number of awards that vest or are exercised in each period, but we do not expect the impact to be material in future periods.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance which replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology 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 December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities may adopt the amendments in the new standard as of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.equity investments.

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; otherwise, adoption is required to be applied as of the earliest date practicable.  The Company is currently evaluatingadopted this standard during the timing of adoption as well as the impact that the standard will havethree months ended May 4, 2018.

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. The new guidance should bewas applied on a modified-retrospective basis with the cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earningsaccumulated deficit as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company early adopted this guidance during the three months ended May 5, 2017.  At adoption, approximately $84 million was reclassified from other non-current liabilities to retained earnings,accumulated deficit, resulting in a net credit to retained earnings.accumulated deficit.

SimplifyingStatement of Cash Flows, Restricted Cash — In November 2016, the TestFASB issued amended guidance requiring entities to include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in cash balances 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 Goodwill Impairmentfiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard during the three months ended May 4, 2018. See Note 19 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for supplemental cash flow information. Prior period amounts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been recast to conform with current period presentation as shown in the reconciliation provided below.

Clarifying the Definition of a BusinessIn January 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance to simplifyclarify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test.

Public entities must adopt the new guidance infor fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's conclusions regarding transactions that were assessed in the current period.

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 elected to early adopt this standard during the three months ended May 4, 2018. The impact of the adoption of the standard was immaterial to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income In February 2018, theFASB issued guidance that will permit entities to reclassify the tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income to accumulated deficit as a result of U.S. Tax Reform, discussed in Note 12 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The guidance gives entities the option to reclassify these amounts, but requires new disclosures regardless of whether they elect to do so. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.

Non-controlling interests$5,661
 $105
 $5,766

The above impacts are summarized as follows:

Accounts receivable, net. The adoption of the new revenue standard resulted in an increase to accounts receivable, net primarily due to the following two factors:

First, the return rights provision, which represents an estimate of expected customer returns, which was previously presented as a reduction of accounts receivable, net, is now being presented outside of accounts receivable, net in two separate balance sheet line items. A liability is recorded in accrued and other for the estimated value of the sales amounts to be returned to the customer, and an asset is recorded in other current assets representing the recoverable cost of the inventory estimated to be returned.

Second, the standard provides new guidance regarding transfer of control of goods to the customer. Under these new guidelines, the Company has determined that for certain hardware contracts in the United States, transfer of control and recognition of revenue can occur earlier. This resulted in an increase in accounts receivable, net and a decrease in the in-transit deferral recorded in other current assets.

Other assets. The adoption of the new revenue standard resulted in an increase in other assets due to capitalization of the costs to obtain a contract, as well as the accounts receivable, net of impacts discussed above.

Deferred revenue. The adoption of the new revenue standard resulted in a decline in deferred revenue due to earlier recognition of revenue for software licenses, and less of the aggregate transaction price being allocated to extended warranty. Deferred revenue was also reduced by the impact of variable consideration, i.e., price concessions, rebates, and refunds. The reduction in deferred revenue was partially offset by an increase resulting from the change in presentation of deferred costs on third-party software offerings, which are reported in other assets, and are either sold on a standalone basis or as an attached component of the Company's hardware offering. The Company previously reported the associated deferred revenue net of these deferred costs in deferred revenue.

Products revenue vs. services revenue. The adoption of the new revenue standard resulted in a change to the classification of products revenue vs. services revenue, due to the following factors:

Under the new revenue standard, amounts within a contract are now allocated to the product and services performance obligations based on their respective standalone selling prices, which generally increases product revenue and decreases services revenue relative to previously reported results.
Further, third-party software licenses were previously recognized in services revenue as the Company could not separate the value of the software license from the associated maintenance agreement. Under the new revenue standard, the license value requires separation and will be recognized in product revenue and the value of the software maintenance will continue to be recognized in services revenue.

Operating expenses. The adoption of the new revenue standard resulted in a decrease to operating expenses due to the deferral of the incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract.

NOTE 2 BUSINESS COMBINATIONSINTERIM UPDATE TO SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

EMC Merger TransactionAs mentioned previously in Note 1 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company adopted amended guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers during the three months ended May 4, 2018, using the full retrospective method. The following accounting policies have been updated as part of the adoption of the new standard.

Transaction Overview Revenue RecognitionOn September 7, 2016, EMC becameThe Company enters into a wholly-owned subsidiaryvariety of agreements to provide a wide portfolio of products and services offerings to its customers. These agreements have varying requirements depending on the goods and services being sold, the rights and obligations conveyed, and the legal jurisdiction 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. 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 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 V Common Stock"), plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares.

(1)
Identify the contract with a customer. The term “contract” refers to the enforceable rights and obligations provided in an agreement between the Company and one or more other parties in exchange for payment. The Company evaluates facts and circumstances regarding sales transactions in order to identify contracts with its customers. An agreement must meet all of the following criteria to qualify as a contract eligible for revenue recognition under the model: (i) the contract must be approved by all parties; (ii) each party's rights regarding the goods and services to be transferred to the customer can be identified; (iii) the payment terms for the good and services can be identified; (iv) the customer has the ability and intent to pay and it is probable that the Company will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it will be entitled; and (v) the contract must have commercial substance. Judgment is used in determining the customer's ability and intent to pay, which is based upon various factors including the customer's historical payment experience or customer credit and financial information.
(2)
Identify the performance obligations in the contract.  Distinct promises within a contract are referred to as "performance obligations" and are accounted for as separate units of account. The Company assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct for the purpose of identifying the performance obligations in the contract. This assessment involves subjective determinations and requires management to make judgments about the individual promised goods or services and whether such goods or services are separable from the other aspects of the contractual relationship. Promised goods and services are considered distinct provided that: (i) the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (that is, the good or service is capable of being distinct); and (ii) the Company's promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (that is, the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract). The Company's performance obligations consist of a variety of products and services offerings which include: computer and enterprise hardware, such as servers, storage, networking, personal computers, workstations, and peripherals; third-party software; proprietary software licenses; support and deployment services, which include hardware support that extends beyond the Company's standard warranties, software maintenance, and installation; professional services; training; software as a service ("SaaS"); and infrastructure as a service ("IaaS").

(3)
Determine the transaction price.  Transaction price reflects the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount to which it expects to be entitled using either the expected value or most likely amount method. The Company’s contracts may include terms that could cause variability in the transaction price, including, for example, rebates, sales returns, and volume discounts. In determining the transaction price, any variable consideration would be considered, to the extent applicable, if it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

(4)
Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract. Many of the Company’s contracts include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer, and the transaction price must be allocated to each performance obligation in an amount that depicts the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services. For these contracts with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated in proportion to the standalone selling price ("SSP") of each performance obligation.

(unaudited)



Assets AcquiredIf the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to that performance obligation.

The best evidence of SSP is the observable price of a good or service when the Company sells that good or service separately in similar circumstances to similar customers. If a directly observable price is available, it must be utilized for the SSP. If a directly observable price is not available, the SSP must be estimated. The Company estimates SSP by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, pricing practices, internal costs, and Liabilities Assumed profit objectives as well as overall market conditions which include geographic or regional specific factors, competitive positioning, and competitor actions. SSP can include fixed and variable components. Variable components are estimated based on the most likely outcome or expected value of the variable components.
(5)
Recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with our customer are satisfied. Revenue is recognized either over time or at a point in time, depending on when the underlying products or services are transferred to the customer. Revenue is recorded at a point in time for products upon transfer of control. Revenue is recognized over time for support and deployment services, professional services, training, SaaS, and IaaS.

The EMC merger transactionCompany reports revenue net of any revenue-based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrently with specific revenue-producing transactions.

The Company has been accountedelected the following practical expedients with the adoption of the new revenue standard:

The Company does not account for significant financing components if the period between revenue recognition and when the customer pays for the product or service will be one year or less.
The Company recognizes revenue equal to the amount it has a right to invoice when the amount corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company's performance to date.
The Company does not account for shipping and handling activities as a business combination underseparate performance obligation, but rather as an activity performed to transfer the acquisition methodpromised good.

The following summarizes the nature of accounting. The cumulative impact of any subsequent changes resulting fromrevenue recognized and the facts and circumstances that existed as of the transaction date will be adjusted in the reporting periodmanner in which the adjustment amountCompany accounts for sales transactions.

Products

Product revenue consists of hardware and software license sales that are delivered, sold as a subscription or sold on a consumption basis. Hardware includes notebooks and desktop PCs, servers, storage hardware, and other hardware-related devices. Software license sales include non-essential, 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 is determined. The Company's purchase accounting is substantially complete. The following table summarizes, as of May 5, 2017, the preliminary purchase price allocationrecognized when control has transferred to the assets acquiredcustomer, which typically occurs when the hardware has been shipped to the customer, risk of loss has transferred to the customer, the Company has a present right to payment, and customer acceptance has been satisfied. Customer acceptance is satisfied if acceptance is obtained from the liabilities assumed incustomer, if all acceptance provisions lapse, or if the EMC merger transaction (in millions):

Company has evidence that all acceptance provisions will be, or have been, satisfied. Revenue from software license sales is generally recognized when control has transferred to the customer, which is typically upon shipment, electronic delivery, or when the software is available for download by the customer. For certain arrangements, including software subscriptions and certain software license agreements which provide customers control to certain product performance obligations over time, revenue is recognized based on usage or ratably over the term of the arrangement based on the pattern of delivery of the product to the customer.

Services

Services revenue consists of revenue from sales of support services, including hardware support that extends beyond the Company's standard warranties, software maintenance, and installation; professional services; training; SaaS; and IaaS. Revenue associated with undelivered performance obligations is deferred and recorded as control is transferred to the customer over time. Revenue from fixed-price support or maintenance contracts sold for both hardware and software is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of performance because the Company is required to provide services at any given time. Other services revenue is recognized when the Company performs the services and the customers receive and consume the benefits.

Invoices for services may be issued at the start of a service term, which is typically the case for support and deployment services, or as services are rendered, which is typically the case for professional services, training, SaaS, and IaaS.

Other

Revenue from leasing arrangements is not subject to the new revenue standard from contracts with customers, and remains separately accounted for under existing lease accounting guidance. 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 products revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and is recognized at consistent rates of return over the lease term. The Company also offers qualified customers fixed-term loans and revolving credit lines for the purchase of products and services offered by the Company. Financing income attributable to these loans is recognized in product revenue on an accrual basis.

Disaggregation of Revenue — The Company's revenue is presented on a disaggregated basis on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and in Note 18 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based on an evaluation of disclosures outside of the financial statements, information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for evaluating the financial performance of operating segments, and other information that is used to evaluate the Company's financial performance or make resource allocations. This information includes revenue from product and services, revenue from reportable segments, and revenue by major product categories within the segments.

Contract Assets — Contract assets are rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to a customer when such a right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Such amounts have been insignificant to date.

Contract Liabilities — Contract liabilities primarily consist of deferred revenue. Deferred revenue is recorded when the Company has a right to invoice or payments have been received for undelivered products or services, or in situations where revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Deferred revenue also represents amounts received in advance for extended warranty services and software maintenance. Revenue is recognized on these items when the revenue recognition criteria are met, generally resulting in ratable recognition over the contract term. The Company also has deferred revenue related to undelivered hardware and professional services, consisting of installations and consulting engagements, which are recognized as the Company's performance obligations under the contract are completed. See Note 9 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about deferred revenue.

Costs to Obtain a Contract The incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract primarily consist of sales commissions and employer taxes related to commission payments. The Company has elected, as a practical expedient, to expense as incurred costs to obtain a contract equal to or less than one year in duration. For contracts greater than one year in duration, the associated costs to obtain a contract are deferred and amortized over the period of contract performance or a longer period, generally the estimated life of the customer relationship, if renewals are expected and the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission. Deferred costs to obtain a contract are typically amortized over a period of 3 to 7 years, depending on the contract term and expectation of the period of benefit for the costs, which may exceed the contract term. Amortization expense is recognized on a straight-line basis and included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). The Company periodically reviews these deferred costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could impact the carrying value or period of benefit of the deferred sales commissions. There were no material impairment losses for deferred sales commissions during the three months ended May 4, 2018 and May 5, 2017.

(a) The Company did not transfer any securities between levels during the three months ended May 5, 2017.4, 2018.

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 May 5, 2017,4, 2018, 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 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 5 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about investments.

The valuation of these securities is based on quoted prices in active markets.Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about investments.

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 87 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company's derivative financial instrument activities.

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. See Note 98 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about goodwill and intangible assets.

As of May 5, 20174, 2018 and February 3, 2017,2, 2018, the Company held strategic investments of $489$484 million and $455$485 million, respectively.

Under the cost method are recordedalternative, the Company measures investments without readily determinable fair values at cost, initially, which approximates fair value. Subsequently, if thereless impairment, adjusted by observable price changes. The Company must make a separate election to use the alternative for each eligible investment and is required to reassess at each reporting period whether an indicator of impairment,investment qualifies for the impairment is recognized.alternative. In evaluating these investments for impairment or observable price changes, the Company uses inputs including pre- and post-money valuations of 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.

Aging is likely to fluctuate quarter to quarter as a result of the variability in volume of large deals entered into over the period, and the administrative processes that accompany those larger transactions. As such, fluctuations in aging do not necessarily indicate a material change in the credit quality of the portfolio.

Credit Quality

The following table summarizes customer receivables, gross, including accrued interest, by credit quality indicator segregated by class, as of May 5, 20174, 2018 and February 3, 2017.2, 2018. 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.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.

NOTE 87 — 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, 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. The earnings effects of the derivative instruments are presented in the same income statement lines items as the earnings effects of the hedged items. 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 recognizesderivative. The Company does not have any ineffective portion of the hedge in earningsderivatives designated as a component of interest and other, net. Hedge ineffectiveness recognized in earnings was not material during the three months ended May 5, 2017 and April 29, 2016.fair value hedges.

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 months ended May 4, 2018 and May 5, 2017, and April 29, 2016, 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.

(a)Infrastructure Solutions Group is composed of the Core Storage, Servers, and Networking goodwill reporting unit.
(b)Other Businesses consists of offerings by RSA Information Security, Pivotal, SecureWorks, Pivotal,Virtustream, Inc. ("Virtustream"), and Boomi, Inc. ("Boomi").
(c)During the three months ended May 4, 2018, the Company made certain segment reporting changes, which included the movement of the results of Virtustream from the Infrastructure Solutions Group segment to Other businesses. The amount of goodwill attributable to Virtustream was reclassified to Other businesses to align with these reporting changes.

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. No events or circumstances transpired subsequentNovember 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 goodwill 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 annual impairment test that would indicateassessment. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were assessed during the three months ended May 4, 2018 to consider the impact of segment reporting changes. No indications of impairment were identified as a potential impairmentresult of goodwill as of May 5, 2017. Further, thethese changes. The Company did not have any accumulated goodwill impairment charges as ofMay 5, 2017.4, 2018.

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 9 — DEFERRED REVENUE

Deferred Revenue— Deferred revenue is recorded when the Company has a right to invoice or payments have been received for undelivered products or services in contracts where transfer of control has not occurred. Deferred revenue represents amounts received in advance for support and deployment services, software maintenance, professional services, training, and SaaS. Revenue is recognized on these items when the revenue recognition criteria are met, generally resulting in ratable recognition over the contract term. The Company also has deferred revenue related to undelivered hardware and professional services, consisting of installations and consulting engagements, which are recognized as the Company's performance obligations under the contract are completed.

Changes in the Company's deferred revenue are presented in the following table for the period indicated:

 Three Months Ended

 (in millions)
Deferred revenue:

Deferred revenue at end of period$20,959
Short-term deferred revenue$11,495
Long-term deferred revenue$9,464
____________________
(a)Includes the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Remaining Performance Obligations — Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price in contracts allocated to performance obligations not delivered, or partially undelivered, as of the end of the reporting period. Remaining performance obligations include deferred revenue plus unbilled amounts not yet recorded in deferred revenue. The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations does not include amounts owed under cancelable contracts where there is no substantive termination penalty.

The Company applied the practical expedient to exclude the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts for which revenue is recognized at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed. The Company also applied the practical expedient to not disclose the amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for the periods prior to adoption of the new revenue standard.

Remaining performance obligation estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidation, adjustments for revenue that has not materialized, and adjustments for currency.

The value of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations as of May 4, 2018 was approximately $29 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately 65% of remaining performance obligations as revenue in the next 12 months, and the remainder thereafter.

NOTE 12 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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") were 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").

The complaints in the IBEW, Barrett, Graulich, Vassallo, City of Miami, Lasker, Local Union No. 373, City of Lakeland, and Ma actions generally allege that the EMC directors breached their fiduciary duties to EMC shareholders in connection with the EMC merger by, among other things, failing to maximize shareholder value and agreeing to provisions in the EMC merger agreement that discouraged competing bids. After consolidating the nine complaints, by decision dated December 7, 2015, the Business Litigation Session of the Suffolk County Superior Court in Massachusetts dismissed all nine complaints for failure to make a demand on the EMC board of directors. Three of the nine plaintiffs in the consolidated actions appealed the judgment dismissing their complaints. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court granted an application for direct appellate review, and heard oral argument on the appeal on November 7, 2016. On March 6, 2017, the Supreme Judicial Court issued a decision affirming the dismissal. This decision terminated the consolidated actions.
The complaints in the Walsh, Stull, Pancake, and Booth actions allege that the EMC directors breached their fiduciary duties to EMC shareholders in connection with the EMC merger by, among other things, failing to maximize shareholder value and agreeing to provisions in the EMC merger agreement that discouraged competing bids. The complaints generally further allege that the preliminary registration statement on Form S-4 filed by the Company on December 14, 2015 in connection with the transaction contained material misstatements and omissions, in violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and SEC Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder and/or that the Company, Dell, and Universal acted as controlling persons of EMC under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. On June 6, 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective the Company's registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the EMC merger (the "SEC Form S-4"), including the amendments thereto. On June 17, 2016, the parties to the Walsh, Stull, Pancake, and Booth actions submitted to the Court a Stipulation and Proposed Order Dismissing Action and Retaining Jurisdiction to Determine Plaintiffs' Counsel's Application for an Award of Attorneys' Fees and Reimbursement of Expenses. In the stipulation, the plaintiffs represented to the Court that they believe sufficient information had been disclosed to warrant dismissal of the actions as moot in light of the disclosures in the SEC Form S-4, including the amendments thereto. On October 25, 2016, following an agreement between the parties with respect to attorneys' fees and expenses, the Court entered an order terminating the four actions for all purposes.

The amended complaints in the Jacobs and Ford actions allege that EMC, as the majority stockholder of VMware, Inc., and the individual defendants, who were directors of EMC, VMware, Inc., or both, breached their fiduciary duties to minority stockholders of VMware, Inc. in connection with the proposed EMC merger by allegedly entering into or approving a merger that favors the interests of EMC and Dell at the expense of the minority stockholders. The plaintiffs in the Jacobs action also brought suit against the Company, Dell, and Universal as alleged aiders and abettors. Effective December 2, 2016, the parties entered into an agreement to resolve the Jacobs action, pursuant to which the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the action with prejudice. Under the operative amended complaint in the Ford action, the plaintiffs also brought suit against the Company and Dell for alleged breach of fiduciary duties to VMware, Inc. and its stockholders, and against the Company, Dell, and Universal for aiding and abetting the alleged breach of fiduciary duties by EMC's and VMware, Inc.'s directors. Certain defendants filed motions to dismiss the amended complaint on June 21, 2016. A hearing on those motions was held on February 3, 2017. On May 2, 2017, the Court dismissed the amended complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted and no appeal was taken. All fifteen EMC merger-related lawsuits are now fully and finally resolved.
 
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 May 5, 2017 and February 3, 2017, this liability was approximately $129 million. The Court of Chancery ruled 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. This ruling would entitle the holders of the remaining 5,505,7305,505,630 shares subject to the appraisal proceedings to $17.62 per share, plus interest at a statutory rate, compounded quarterly. On November 21, 2016, the Court of Chancery 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.Court, which issued a decision on December 14, 2017. In its decision, the Delaware Supreme Court reversed, in part, and affirmed, in part, the decision of the Delaware Court of Chancery.  On January 2, 2018, the Delaware Supreme Court issued its formal mandate remanding the matter to the Court of Chancery for further proceedings consistent with its opinion.  In accordance with direction by the Court of Chancery, the parties have submitted proposals to the Court of Chancery outlining the remaining issues to be adjudicated.  The liability for the appraisal proceedings was approximately $108 million and $129 million as of May 4, 2018 and February 2, 2018, respectively. The Company believes it was adequately reserved for the appraisal proceedings as of May 5, 2017.4, 2018. On May 8, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to settle a portion of the liability related to the appraisal proceedings in the amount of approximately $70 million, and on May 18, 2018 this portion of the liability was fully paid.

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'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 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

(unaudited)


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 May 5, 2017,4, 2018, 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 May 5, 2017, the Company had $2,674 million, $260 million, and $432 million in purchase obligations for Fiscal 2018, Fiscal 2019, and Fiscal 2020 and thereafter, respectively.

NOTE 1312 — INCOME AND OTHER TAXES

For the three months ended May 4, 2018 and May 5, 2017, and April 29, 2016, the Company's effective income tax rates for continuing operations were 33.3%13.6% and (18.4)%34.8%, respectively, on pre-tax losses from continuing operations of $2,073 million$0.6 billion and $358 million,$1.8 billion, respectively. The change in the Company's effective income tax raterates was primarily attributable to prior year tax charges recognized during the three months ended April 29, 2016 relating to the divestitureimpacts of Dell Services, as well asU.S. Tax Reform, partially off-set by discrete tax benefits resulting from charges associated with the EMC merger transaction incurred duringimpact of adopting the three months ended May 5,new revenue recognition standard.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 including purchase accounting adjustments, interest charges, and stock-based compensation expense. For more information regarding("U.S. Tax Reform" or the EMC merger transaction, see Note 2 of"Act") was signed into law on December 22, 2017.  Among other things, U.S. Tax Reform lowers the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. TheU.S. corporate income tax rate to 21% from 35%, establishes a modified territorial system requiring a mandatory deemed repatriation tax on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries (the "Transition Tax"), requires a minimum tax on certain future earnings generated by foreign subsidiaries while providing for future quarterstax-free repatriation of earnings through a 100% dividends-received deduction, and places limitations on the deductibility of net interest expense.

GAAP requires the effect of a change in tax laws to be recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.  Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the enactment of U.S. Tax Reform, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"), which allows companies to record provisional amounts in earnings for the first year following the Act's enactment, with those provisional amounts required to be finalized by the end of that year. In accordance with GAAP and SAB 118, the Company recognized a provisional tax benefit in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2018 of $0.3 billion related to U.S. Tax Reform, primarily driven by a $1.3 billion tax benefit related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities, offset by $1.0 billion of current and future income tax expenses related to the Transition Tax.  The Company’s provisional estimates are based on its initial analysis using available information and estimates.  In accordance with SAB 118, the Company’s provisional benefit will be impactedadjusted once the analysis is complete, but no later than the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019. The Company is still collecting and processing the necessary data to complete the analysis. As a result, no adjustments have been made to the provisional amount recorded in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2018.  In addition, the Company expects further guidance to be issued by the actual mix of jurisdictions in which income is generated.U.S Treasury Department that may affect the provisional calculation. Revisions to the Company’s provisional estimates may be material to the Company.

The differences between the estimated effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%21% principally result from the Company's geographical distribution of income and differences between the book and tax treatment of certain items. A portionIn certain jurisdictions, the Company's tax rate is significantly less than the applicable statutory rate as a result of tax holidays. The majority of the Company's operationsforeign income that is subject to a reducedthese tax rate orholidays and lower tax rates is free of tax under various tax holidays.attributable to Singapore, China, and Malaysia. A significant portion of these income tax benefits relateis related to a tax holiday that expires in Januarywill expire at the end of Fiscal 2019. The Company is currently seeking new terms for the affected subsidiary beyond Fiscal 2019 and it is uncertain whether any terms will be agreed upon. The Company's other tax holidays will expire in whole or in part during fiscal years 2019 through 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 Company's U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2007 through 2009 are currently under consideration by the Office of Appeals of the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). The IRS issued a Revenue Agent's Report ("RAR") related to those years during the fiscal year ended February 3, 2017.  The IRS has proposed adjustments primarily relating to transfer pricing matters with which the Company disagrees and will contestis contesting through the IRS administrative appeals procedures.process. 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 ended2010. On May 5, 2017, EMC received an RAR for its tax year 2011.  The Company also disagrees with certain proposed adjustments in these 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 2007.

Judgment is required in evaluating the Company'sCompany's uncertain tax positions and determining the Company's provision for income taxes. The Company's net unrecognized tax benefits were $3.1$3.2 billion as of both May 5, 20174, 2018 and February 3, 20172, 2018 and are included in other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company does not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognizedunrecognized 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 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 may beis required to provide collateral guarantees or indemnification to regulators and tax authorities until the matter is resolved.

NOTE 1615 — 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.

(a)The incremental dilution from VMware, Inc. represents the impact of VMware, Inc.'s dilutive securities on the diluted earnings (loss) per share of the DHI Group and the Class V Common Stock, respectively, and is calculated by multiplying the difference between VMware, Inc.'s basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share by the number of shares of VMware, Inc. Class A common stock owned by the Company.
(b)The dilutive effect of Class V Common Stock-based incentive awards was not material to the calculation of the weighted-average Class V Common Stock shares outstanding. The antidilutive effect of these awards was also not material.
(c)Stock-based incentive awards have been excluded from the calculation of the DHI Group's diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effect would have been antidilutive, as the Company had a net loss from continuing operations attributable to the DHI Group for the periods presented.

NOTE 1817 — REDEEMABLE SHARES

Awards under the Company'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-monthsix month holding period following the issuance of such common stock thatstock. The put feature 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 stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), or shares of restricted common stock ("RSAs"),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 shares 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. Contingent events include the achievement of performance-based metrics.
The amount of redeemable shares classified as temporary equity as of May 5, 2017 and February 3, 20174, 2018 was $301$844 million, and $231 million, respectively. As of May 5, 2017, the redeemable shareswhich consisted of 1.32.3 million issued and outstanding unrestricted common shares, 0.60.5 million RSUs, 0.20.1 million RSAs, and 15.620.6 million outstanding stock options. AsThe amount of redeemable shares classified as temporary equity as of February 3, 2017, the redeemable shares2, 2018 was $384 million, which consisted of 1.12.9 million issued and outstanding unrestricted common shares, 0.4 million RSUs, 0.1 million RSAs, and 13.715.3 million outstanding stock options. The increase in the value of redeemable shares during the three months ended May 4, 2018 was primarily attributable to an increase in DHI Group Common Stock fair value, as well as the reassessment of vesting of performance-based awards subsequent to this increase.

To extend our market leading position through our Client Solutions Group and Infrastructure Solutions Group offerings, both on- and off-premises

To grow our strong position in IT infrastructure for cloud-native workloads, both on- and off-premises

To innovate with winning technology that spans and unites on- and off-premises applications and infrastructure and that enables workforce transformation required by our customers

As part of this strategy, we will continue to evaluate opportunities for strategic investments and disciplined acquisitions with a focus on emerging technology areas that are relevant to the Dell Technologies' unique family of businesses and that will complement our existing portfolio of solutions. Our investment areas include storage, software-defined networking, management and orchestration, security, machine learning and artificial intelligence, Big Data and analytics, cloud, Internet of Things, and software development operations.

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.

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: ClientInfrastructure Solutions Group; InfrastructureClient Solutions Group; and VMware. Due to our divestitures

Our other businesses, described below, consist of product and service offerings of RSA, Information Security,Pivotal, SecureWorks, Pivotal,Virtustream, and Boomi. These businesses are not classified as reportable segments, either individually or collectively, as the results of the businesses are not material to our overall results and the businesses do not meet the criteria for reportable segments.

RSA Information Security provides essential cybersecurity solutions engineered to enable organizations to detect, investigate, and respond to advanced attacks, confirm and manage identities, and, ultimately, help reduce IP theft, fraud, and cybercrime.

Pivotal (NYSE: PVTL) provides a leading cloud-native platform that makes software development and IT operations a strategic advantage for customers.

Dell Financial Services

We also offer or arrange various financing options and services for our commercial and consumer customers in the United States, Canada,North America, Europe, Australia, and MexicoNew Zealand through Dell Financial Services ("DFS") and its affiliates.affiliates ("DFS"). DFS services include originating, collecting, and servicing customer receivables primarily related to the purchase of Dell Technologies products. The results of these operations are allocated to our segments based on the underlying product or service financed. For additional information about our financing arrangements, see Note 65 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Strategic Investments and Acquisitions

As part of our strategy, we will continue to evaluate opportunities for strategic investments through our venture capital investment arm, Dell Technologies Capital, with a focus on emerging technology areas that are relevant to the Dell Technologies unique family of businesses and that will complement our existing portfolio of solutions. Our investment areas include storage, software-defined networking, management and orchestration, security, machine learning and artificial intelligence, Big Data and analytics, cloud, Internet of Things, and software development operations. In addition to these investments, we also may make disciplined acquisitions targeting businesses that advance our strategic objectives.

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 thean essential infrastructure company and leader in end-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 and transformations.transformations as they embrace the multi-cloud environment of today. 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 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 from 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 value recurring revenue streams. Given the macroeconomic environment and computing trends, we expect that the demand environment will continue to be uneven and cyclical and that market competition in our Client Solutions Group business will intensify. 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. Our Client Solutions Group offerings remain an important element

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-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 infrastructure, and modular solutions based on server-centric architectures.

We These trends have put pressure on our traditional storage offerings, and we are also seeing increased interest in "as a service" flexible consumption models byfocused on strategically repositioning our customers as they seek to build greater flexibility into their cost structures. We have responded to this interest by introducing various financing and consumption model offerings.

storage portfolio. We have leading solutions in these categories through our ISG and VMware data center offerings. In addition, through our research and development efforts, we expect 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 flexible consumption models by our customers as they seek to build greater flexibility into their cost structures. These solutions are generally multi-year contracts that typically result in recognition of revenue over the term of the arrangement. We expect these flexible consumption models will further strengthen our customer relationships, and will provide more predictable revenue streams over time.

We are able to leverage our traditional strength in the PC market to offer solutions and services that provide higher-value, recurring revenue streams. Given current market trends, we expect that the demand environment will continue to be cyclical and that competitive dynamics will continue to pressure our 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. Our CSG offerings remain an important element of our strategy, generating strong cash flow and opportunities for cross-selling of complementary solutions. CSG net revenue represented approximately half of our net revenue during both the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 and the first quarter of Fiscal 2018.

We manage our business on a U.S. dollar basis. However, we have a large global presence, generating approximately half of our revenue by sales to customers outside of the United States during the first three months of Fiscal 20182019 and the first three months of Fiscal 2017.2018. 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. The 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 TransactionKey Performance Metrics

As described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements includedOur key performance metrics are net revenue, operating income, adjusted EBITDA, and cash flows from operations, and are discussed elsewhere 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.

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 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, 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") under the ticker symbol "DVMT" and began trading on September 7, 2016.

In connection with the EMC merger transaction, all principal, accrued but unpaid interest, fees, and other amounts (other than certain contingent obligations) outstanding at the effective time of the EMC merger transaction under EMC's unsecured revolving credit facility, Dell's asset-based revolving credit facility, and Dell's term facilities were substantially repaid concurrently with the closing. Further, all commitments to lend and guarantees and security interests, as applicable, in connection therewith were terminated or released. The aggregate amounts of principal, interest, and premium necessary to redeem in full the outstanding $1.4 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior First Lien Notes due 2020 co-issued by Dell International and Denali Finance Corp. were deposited with the trustee for such notes, and such notes were thereby satisfied and discharged, concurrently with the effective time of the EMC merger transaction. All of Dell's other outstanding senior notes and all of EMC's outstanding senior notes remained outstanding after the effective time of the EMC merger transaction in accordance with their respective terms.

Dell Technologies financed the EMC merger transaction, repayment of the foregoing indebtedness of EMC and Dell outstanding as of the closing of the EMC merger transaction, and the payment of related fees and expenses, with debt financing arrangements in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $45.9 billion, equity financing arrangements of approximately $4.4 billion, and cash on hand of approximately $7.8 billion.

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.("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;income; earnings before interest and other, net, taxes, depreciation, and amortization referred to as EBITDA;("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 from continuing operations, 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:

ImpactAmortization of Purchase AccountingIntangible Assets The impactAmortization of purchase accounting includes purchase accounting adjustments, related tointangible assets primarily consists of amortization of customer relationships, developed technology, and trade names. In connection with 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, 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.

Impact of Purchase AccountingThe impact of purchase accounting includes purchase accounting adjustments, related to the EMC merger transaction and, to a lesser extent, the going-private transaction, recorded under the acquisition method of


63



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.

Amortization of Intangible AssetsAmortization 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-related expenses consist of acquisition, integration, and divestiture related costs, and are expensed as incurred. These expenses primarily represent costs for legal, banking, consulting, and advisory services, as well as certain compensatory retention awards directly related to the EMC merger transactiontransaction.  During the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, this category also includes approximately $116 million of expenses related to integration of our inventory policies and management process related integration.to customer evaluation units.

Other Corporate Expenses — Other corporate expenses consists of severance, 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. Facility action costs included inwere $9 million and $79 million during the first threequarter of Fiscal 2019 and the first quarter of Fiscal 2018, respectively. We expect to incur additional costs during the next nine months of Fiscal 2018 were $79 million, and we expect to incur these costs over the next nine months2019 as we continue 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 quarter of Fiscal 2017,2019, this category also includes approximately $154 million of tax chargesbenefits resulting from the impact of approximately $135 million on previously untaxed earnings of a foreign subsidiary that will no longer be permanently reinvested as a result ofadopting the Dell Services divestiture.new revenue recognition standard. The tax effects are determined based on the tax jurisdictions where the above items were incurred.

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-relateddivestiture related costs, severance and facility actions,action costs, 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'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 first quarter of Fiscal 2018, our results for the fiscal periods discussed below are not directly comparable.

Overview

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2018,2019, our net revenue and non-GAAP net revenue increased 46%19% and 48%17%, respectively. The increase in net revenue and non-GAAP net revenue was primarily attributable to revenue from the EMC acquired businesses and, to a lesser extent, an increase in net revenue from CSG. The EMC merger transaction had an impact on the mix of revenue contributed by ouracross all three business units. CSG net revenue represented approximately 50% of our net revenue

Our operating loss decreased 88% to $0.2 billion during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018. In comparison, CSG net revenue represented a higher proportion of our revenue prior to the EMC merger transaction, accounting for approximately 70% of our net revenue during the first quarter of Fiscal 2017.

During the first quarters of Fiscal 2018 and Fiscal 2017, our operating loss was $1.5 billion and $0.1 billion, respectively. The increase in our operating loss for the first quarter of Fiscal 2018 was2019, primarily attributabledue to an increase in operating income for ISG and CSG. Also benefiting operating loss during the year was a reduction in the impact of amortization of intangible assets and purchase accounting adjustments, related to the EMC merger transaction, as well as an increase in compensation and benefits expense as a result of growth in our headcount. The impact of the increase in operating expenses was partially offset by the favorable impact of gross margin from the EMC acquired businesses.

Our operating loss was impacted by purchase accounting adjustments associated with the EMC merger transaction and the going-private transaction, amortization of intangible assets, transaction-related expenses, and other corporate expenses. In aggregate, these itemswhich totaled $2.7$1.7 billion and $0.7$2.2 billion for the first quarters of Fiscal 20182019 and Fiscal 2017,2018, respectively. Excluding these adjustments,costs, transaction-related expenses, and other corporate expenses, non-GAAP operating income during the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 increased 122%42% to $2.0 billion, primarily as a result of an increase in operating income for ISG and CSG.

Cash provided by operating activities was $1.2 billion during the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 compared to $0.3 billion for the first quarter of Fiscal 2018. The increase in non-GAAP operating income in the first quarter of Fiscal 2018 was primarily attributable to the favorable impact of non-GAAP operating income from the EMC acquired businesses, particularly VMware.

Cash provided by operating activities was $0.2 billioncash flows during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018. Positive operating cash flows were2019 was driven by improved profitability particularly in VMware.and ongoing working capital management. See "Market Conditions, Liquidity, and Capital Commitments" for further information on our cash flow metrics.

Net Revenue

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2018,2019, our net revenue increased 46% primarily due to revenue from the EMC acquired businesses, offset partially by an increase in purchase accounting adjustments as a result of the EMC merger transaction. Our non-GAAP net revenue increased 48% during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018, primarily due to the impact from the EMC acquired businesses. An increase of 6% in CSG net revenue also contributed to higher net revenue and non-GAAP net revenue during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018, butincreased 19% and 17%, respectively, due to a lesser extent.an increase in net revenue across all three business units. See "Business Unit Results — Client Solutions Group"Results" for further information.

Product Net Revenue — Product net revenue includes revenue from the sale of hardware products and Dell Technologies-owned software licenses. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2018,2019, product net revenue increased 27% and non-GAAP product net revenue both increased 28%22%, primarily due to the impact from the EMC acquired businesses.an increase in product revenue for ISG and CSG, driven by strength in sales of servers, storage, and notebooks.

Services gross margin percentage and non-GAAP services gross margin percentage decreased due to decreases in ISG and CSG services gross margin percentages.

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 first quarters of Fiscal 20182019 and Fiscal 20172018 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.

Table of Contents

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 periods. These settlements are allocated to our segments based on the relative amount of affected vendor products sold by each segment. No such settlements were recorded in the first quarter of Fiscal 20182019 that would have a material impact on product gross margins in the current quarter or affect comparability with product gross margin in the first quarter of Fiscal 2017.2018.

Income and Other Taxes

Our effective income tax rates for continuing operations were 33.3% and (18.4)% on pre-tax losses from continuing operations of $2.1 billion and $0.4 billion forFor the first quarters of Fiscal 20182019 and Fiscal 2017,2018, our effective income tax rates were 13.6% and 34.8%, respectively, on pre-tax losses of $0.6 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively. The change in our effective income tax rates was primarily attributable to impacts of U.S. Tax Reform, partially offset by discrete tax benefits resulting from the impact of adopting the new revenue recognition standard.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("U.S. Tax Reform" or the "Act") was signed into law on December 22, 2017.  U.S. Tax Reform lowers the U.S. corporate income tax rate to 21% from 35%, establishes a modified territorial system requiring a mandatory deemed repatriation tax on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries (the "Transition Tax"), requires a minimum tax on certain future earnings generated by foreign subsidiaries while providing for future tax-free repatriation of earnings through a 100% dividends-received deduction, and places limitations on the firstdeductibility of net interest expense.

GAAP requires the effect of a change in tax laws to be recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.  Accordingly, we recognized a provisional tax benefit in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2018 wasof $0.3 billion related to U.S. Tax Reform, primarily attributabledriven by a $1.3 billion tax benefit related to prior yearthe remeasurement of deferred tax charges recognized inassets and liabilities, offset by $1.0 billion of current and future income tax expenses related to the firstTransition Tax. Our provisional benefit will be adjusted once the analysis is complete, but no later than the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2017 relating2019. We are still collecting and processing the necessary data to complete the analysis. As a result, no adjustments have been made to the divestiture of Dell Services, as well as tax benefits from charges associated with the EMC merger transaction incurredprovisional amount recorded in the firstfourth quarter of Fiscal 2018, including purchase accounting adjustments, interest charges, and stock-based compensation expense. See Note 2 of the Notes2018. In addition, we expect further guidance to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information on the EMC merger transaction. The income tax rate for future quarters of Fiscal 2018 will be impactedissued by the actual mix of jurisdictions in which income is generated.U.S Treasury Department that may affect the provisional calculation. Revisions to our provisional estimates may be material.

Our effective income 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. The differences between our effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% principally result from the geographical distribution of income and differences between the book and tax treatment of certain items. 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 relateis related to a tax holiday that expires in Januarywill expire at the end of Fiscal 2019. We are currently seeking new terms for the affected subsidiary beyond Fiscal 2019 and it is uncertain whether any terms will be agreed upon. Our other tax holidays will expire in whole or in part during Fiscal 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

The increasedecrease in net loss from continuing operationsduring the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating loss and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in interest and other, net expense, which was partially offset by a decrease in tax benefit. Net loss for the first quarter of Fiscal 2018 was primarily attributable to an increase in operating loss and to an increase in interest and other, net expense. The effect of these factors was partially offset by an increase in tax benefit during the period.

Business Unit Results

Our reportable segments are based on the following business units: Client Solutions Group ("CSG"); Infrastructure Solutions Group ("ISG");ISG, CSG, and VMware. A description of our three business units is provided under "Introduction." See Note 1918 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for a reconciliation of net revenue and operating income by reportable segment to consolidated net revenue and consolidated operating loss, respectively.

During the three months ended May 4, 2018, we made certain segment reporting changes, which included the movement of Virtustream results from ISG to other businesses. None of these changes impacted our previously reported consolidated financial results, but our prior period segment results have been recast to reflect this change.

The following table presents net revenue and operating income respectively.attributable to ISG for the respective periods:

ISG operating income$939
 86% $506
% of segment net revenue10.8%   7.3%

Net RevenueDuring the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, ISG net revenue increased 25% primarily due to an increase in servers and networking and to a lesser extent, an increase in storage. Revenue from servers and networking increased 41% during the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, driven by an increase in both average selling price and units sold of our PowerEdge servers. Average selling prices increased due to sale of servers with higher memory and storage content, which is driven by customer demand for servers that enable big data analytics and software-defined solutions. Storage revenue increased 10% during the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 due to accumulated demand from the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2018 that was realized in the current quarter, as well as strong growth in hyper-converged infrastructure products. We were encouraged by the improved demand in commercial mid-range storage, where we have been making go-to-market investments and enhancements to our solutions offerings. While component costs were slightly deflationary in the aggregate for ISG, we continue to monitor our pricing in response to the current component cost environment. We expect dynamic random access memory ("DRAM") component costs for servers to remain a headwind through the remainder of Fiscal 2019.

In ISG, we continue to see interest in flexible consumption models by our customers as they seek to build greater flexibility into their cost structures. We generally provide these solutions under multi-year contracts that typically result in recognition of revenue over the term of the arrangement. We expect these flexible consumption models will further strengthen our customer relationships, and will build more predictable revenue streams over time.

From a geographical perspective, net revenue attributable to ISG increased across all regions during the first quarter of Fiscal 2019.

Operating IncomeDuring the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, ISG operating income increased 350 basis points to 10.8% primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue. Despite the investments we have been making in our go-to-market capabilities and solutions offerings, operating expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue as a result of revenue growth that outpaced the scale of these investments.

Net Revenue During the first quarter of Fiscal 2018,2019, CSG net revenue increased 6% driven by an increase in both commercial and consumer net revenue. The increase in CSG net revenue was14%, primarily driven by an increase in unitsthe volume of commercial notebooks, workstations, and desktops sold as we benefited fromwere able to deliver strong performance in a general improvement in customerbetter than expected demand which favored premium notebooks and workstations over desktops. Despite an increase in sales of our premium offerings, overall average selling prices wereenvironment. Consumer demand was relatively flatunchanged over the period as we strategicallynavigated through a declining demand environment. The overall average selling price increased in both the commercial and consumer product categories, as we managed our pricing position.in response to the inflationary cost environment over the past year. We expect the cost environment for CSG to be deflationary for the remainder of Fiscal 2019.

From a geographical perspective, net revenue attributable to CSG increased in APJ and the Americasacross all regions during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018, while net revenue in EMEA was relatively unchanged.2019.

Net RevenueDuring the first quarter of Fiscal 2018, ISG net revenue increased approximately $3.3 billion, or 91%, primarily due to incremental net revenue associated with the EMC acquired storage business, which caused storage revenue to increase approximately $3.1 billion, or 585%. Revenue from servers and networking also increased 5% over the period, primarily resulting from an increase in sale of PowerEdge units, while average selling prices of PowerEdge remained relatively flat.

From a geographical perspective, during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018, ISG net revenue increased in 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.

Operating IncomeDuring the first quarter of Fiscal 2018, ISG operating income as a percentage of net revenue decreased 60 basis points to 4.7%. While the EMC acquired storage business contributed higher gross margin overall, we experienced gross margin pressure due to changing product mix within ISG as well as component cost inflation, which we expect to continue in the near term. ISG operating income also was affected by increased operating expenses reflecting larger investments in research and development as well as expenses incurred in connection with the discontinuation of certain products.

VMware net revenue during the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 increased 12% due to growth in software license revenue, maintenance services, and professional services. Software license revenue benefited from broad-based growth across the product portfolio. Software maintenance revenue benefited from strong renewals, revenue recognized from maintenance contracts sold in prior periods, and new maintenance contracts sold during the period.

From a geographical perspective, approximately half of VMware net revenue during the first quarter of Fiscal 20182019 was generated fromby sales to customers in the United States. VMware net revenue for the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 benefited from growth in all major geographies.

Operating Income During the first quarter of Fiscal 2018,2019, VMware operating income as a percentage of net revenue was 28.0%.decreased 340 basis points to 30.2%, primarily driven by an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue due to an increase in compensation-related expense associated with sales and sales support, resulting from increased performance-driven commission costs and headcount.

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$10.6 billion and $9.4$11.7 billion as of May 5, 20174, 2018 and February 3, 2017,2, 2018, respectively. The decrease in accounts receivable, net was primarily driven by a sequential decline in net revenue in line with normal seasonality. 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 May 5, 20174, 2018 and February 3, 2017,2, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $64$109 million and $57$103 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,and its affiliates ("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 EMCTechnologies' products and VMware products.services. In some cases, we originatealso offer financing activities for our commercial customers related toon the purchase of third-party technology products that complement our portfolio of products and services. New financing originations which representwere $1.7 billion and $1.1 billion for the amountsfirst quarters of Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2018, respectively. As of May 4, 2018 and February 2, 2018, our financing provided by DFS to customers for equipmentreceivables, net were $7.8 billion and related software$7.6 billion, respectively. The increases in new financing originations and services, including third-party originations, were $1.1 billion and $0.8 billion for financing receivables during the first quarter of Fiscal 20182019 were attributable to growth in DFS offerings related to customer purchases of products and services from the first quarter of Fiscal 2017, respectively. As of May 5, 2017 and February 3, 2017, our financing receivables, net were $6.0 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively.EMC acquired businesses.

We have securitization programsfacilities 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 first quarters of Fiscal 20182019 and Fiscal 2017,2018, we transferred $0.9$1.3 billion and $0.6$0.9 billion, respectively, to these SPEs, respectively.SPEs. The structured financingDFS debt related to all of our securitization programsfacilities included as secured borrowingborrowings was $3.5$4.4 billion and $3.1$3.9 billion as of May 5, 20174, 2018 and February 3, 2017,2, 2018, respectively. In addition, the carrying amount of the corresponding financing receivables was $4.0$5.0 billion and $3.6$4.6 billion as of May 5, 20174, 2018 and February 3, 2017,2, 2018, respectively. As a result of the EMC merger transaction, we plan to expandare expanding our existing securitization programsfacilities 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 first quarterquarters of Fiscal 20182019 and the first quarter of Fiscal 2017,2018, the principal charge-off rate for our total portfolio was 1.8%1.2% and 2.2%1.8%, respectively. The credit quality of our financing receivables has improved in recent years due to an overall improvement in the credit environment and as the mix of high-quality commercial accounts in our portfolio has increased. We expect that trend to continue with increased commercial customer volume resulting from the EMC merger transaction. The allowance for losses is determined based on various factors, including historical and anticipated experience, past due receivables, receivable type, and customer risk profile. AtAs of May 5, 20174, 2018 and February 3, 2017,2, 2018, the allowance for financing receivable losses was $136$139 million and $143$145 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 65 of the Notes to the 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, software maintenance, unearned license fees, and deferred profit on third-party software offerings. Deferred revenue is recognized on these items when the revenue recognition criteria are met, generally resulting in ratable recognition over the contract term. We also have deferred revenue related to undelivered hardware and professional services, consisting of installations and consulting engagements, which are recognized as our obligations under the contract are completed.

Our total deferred revenue was $18.7 billion as of both May 5, 2017 and February 3, 2017. A majority of our deferred revenue as of May 5, 2017 is expected to be recognized over the next two years.allowances.

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 87 of the Notes to the 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 of any credit adjustments related to our use of counterparties on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report of any credit adjustments related to our use of counterparties 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 of May 5, 2017,4, 2018, we had $9.6$15.3 billion of total cash and cash equivalents, the majorityapproximately half 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.

A significant portion of our income is earned in non-U.S. jurisdictions.  Under current law,Prior to the enactment of U.S. Tax Reform as discussed above, earnings available to be repatriated to the United States would be subject to U.S. federal income tax, less applicable foreign tax credits.  U.S. Tax Reform fundamentally changes the U.S. approach to taxation of foreign earnings to a modified territorial tax system, which generally allows companies to make distributions of non-U.S. earnings to the United States without incurring additional U.S. federal tax.  However, local and U.S. state taxes may still apply. We have provided for the U.S. federalfuture tax liabilityliabilities on these amounts for financial statement purposes,income earned in non-U.S. jurisdictions, except for foreign earnings that are considered permanentlyindefinitely reinvested outside of the United States.

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 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, on September 7, 2016, EMC hadThe outstanding senior notes (the "EMC Notes") consisting of $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of its 1.875% Notes due June 2018, $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 2.650% Notes due June 2020 and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 3.375% Notes due June 2023. The EMC Notes remain outstanding following the closing of the EMC merger transaction.
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 issued the Margin Loan Facility in the principal amount of $2.0 billion, and used the proceeds of the new facility to extinguish the Margin Bridge Facility. Further, we issued an additional $0.4 billion, net, in structured financing debt to support the expansion of our financing receivables portfolio, and repaid approximately $0.1 billion principal amount of our Termdebt was $52.7 billion as of May 4, 2018, which included core debt of $39.8 billion. We define core debt as the total principal amount of our debt, less DFS related debt, other debt, and unrestricted subsidiary debt.

DFS related debt primarily represents debt from securitization and structured financing programs. To fund expansion of the DFS business, we balance the use of our securitization and structure financing programs with other sources of liquidity. We approximate the amount of our debt used to fund the DFS business by applying a 7:1 debt to equity ratio to our financing receivables balance, based on the underlying credit quality of the assets. See Note 5 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information about our DFS debt.

As of May 4, 2018 and February 2, 2018, other debt primarily consisted of the $2.0 billion Margin Loan facilities.Facility.

VMware, Inc., Pivotal, and their respective 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 its subsidiaries.

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 or our affiliates, at our or their sole discretion, may purchase, redeem, prepay, refinance, or otherwise retire any amount of 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 $50.7 billion in outstanding principal debt as of May 5, 2017, $5.2 billion, which includes $3.9 billion in structured financing debt, is used to fund this business.

Operating Activities — Cash provided by operating activities was $240 million duringDuring the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, we repaid approximately $500 million principal amount of our 5.65% unsecured notes due April 2018 and cash used by operating activity was $63$68 million for firstprincipal amountof our term loan facilities. Further, we issued an additional $611 million, net, in DFS debt to support the expansion of our financing receivables portfolio. After the end of the current quarter, on June 1, 2018, we fully repaid the 1.875% EMC Note in the amount of Fiscal 2017. Operating cash flows during$2.5 billion in accordance with the first quarter of Fiscal 2018 were driven by profitability, primarily in VMware. The favorable impact of this profitability was partially offset by increased compensation and benefit expenses as a result of higher seasonal incentive bonus payments.contractual maturity date.

Investing Activities — Investing activities primarily consist of the maturities, sales, and purchases of investments, capital expenditures for property, plant, and equipment, and capitalized software development costs. Cash provided by investing activities was $51 million during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018 and cash used by investing activities was $60 million during the first quarter of Fiscal 2017. The change in cash from investing activities during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018 was primarily driven by maturities and sales of investments.

Financing Activities — Financing activities primarily consist of the proceeds and repayments of debt and cash used to repurchase common stock. Cash used by financing activities was $205 million during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018 and primarily reflected our repurchase of shares of Class V Common Stock under the programs described below and other shares of common stock we repurchased for tax withholdings on vesting of equity awards. This use of cash was partially offset by net proceeds of approximately $400 million of cash from the issuance of structured financing debt. In comparison, cash used in financing activities was $387 million during the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 and primarily consisted of the repayment of debt, partially offset by the issuance of common stock of SecureWorks upon the closing of the SecureWorks initial public offering. See Note 7 and Note 176 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information about our debt and share repurchase programs, respectively.

Key Performance Metrics

Our 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 is presented below.our unrestricted subsidiaries.

Cash Conversion Cycle

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

Days of sales outstanding (a)48
 41
Days of supply in inventory (b)18
 15
Days in accounts payable (c)(108) (113)
Cash conversion cycle (d)(42) (57)
__________________
(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, 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 the three months ended May 5, 2017 and April 29, 2016). As of May 5, 2017, DSO and days of customer shipments not yet recognized were 44 and 4 days, respectively. As of April 29, 2016, DSO and days of customer shipments not yet recognized were 36 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 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 the three months ended May 5, 2017 and April 29, 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 the three months ended May 5, 2017 and April 29, 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.

ForOperating Activities — Cash provided by operating activities was $1,159 million for the three months ended May 5, 2017, changes in our cash conversion cycle were unfavorable by 15 days whenfirst quarter of Fiscal 2019 compared to $285 million for the three months ended April 29, 2016. Thisfirst quarter of Fiscal 2018. The increase in operating cash flows during the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 was driven by improved profitability and strong working capital management, partially offset by our annual incentive bonus payouts.

Investing Activities — Investing activities primarily consist of cash used to fund strategic investments, the maturities, sales, and purchases of investments, capital expenditures for property, plant, and equipment, and capitalized software development costs. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, cash used by investing activities was $149 millionand was primarily driven by capital expenditures partially offset by net cash proceeds from the divestitures of businesses and by the net sales of investments. In comparison, cash provided by investing activities was $51 million during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018 and was primarily driven by the acquisitionnet sales of EMC, which had a negative impact across all three components. We experienced a five day decrease in DPO,investments.

Financing Activities — Financing activities primarily driven by supplier payments termsconsist of the EMC acquired businesses. A seven day increase in DSOproceeds and repayments of debt, cash used to repurchase common stock, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock of subsidiaries. Cash provided by financing activities of $543 million during the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 was primarily driven by differences in collections managementproceeds from the EMC acquired businesses. A three day increaseissuance of Pivotal common stock in DSIconnection with Pivotal's IPO. In comparison, cash used by financing activities of $187 million during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018 and was primarily the result of the longer inventory cycle associated with the EMC acquired product lines.

We believe our business model allows us to maintain an efficientdriven by cash conversion cycle, which compares favorably with that of others in our industry.used for share repurchases.

Capital Commitments

Capital Expenditures — During the first quarters of Fiscal 20182019 and Fiscal 2017,2018, we spent $245 million$0.3 billion and $92 million,$0.2 billion, respectively, on property, plant, and 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 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 2018,2019, which will be primarily related to infrastructure investments and strategic initiatives, are currently expected to total approximatelybetween $1.1 billion and $1.3 billion.

Repurchases of Common Stock

Class V Common Stock Repurchases — On December 13, 2016, the board of directors approved a stock repurchase program under which we are authorized to use assets of the Class V Group to repurchase up to $500 million of shares of Class V Common Stock over a period of six months.

Table of Contents

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 above as they typically represent our authorization to purchase rather than binding purchase obligations.
